So how would you get your vial to fill up?
Just curious to know other people's ideas of getting their vial and other people's vials to fill up.
I would do things that hurt, but that don't do permanent damage. No broken bones, no deep cuts, no severe burns. Nothing that scars permanently.
Pulling out hair hurts quite a bit, but hair grows back. Repeatedly hitting my funny bone. Hard slaps to the side of the face. Small cuts to the fingertips (lots of nerve endings there).
I think a big mistake they made was hurting one person at a time. They should have been hurting themselves, and doing it all at the same time.
And if that didn't get the vials to go up fast enough, I probably would have picked the one person there who I really disliked, and just brutally tortured him/her. (Desperate times call for desperate measures...)
I most certainly agree with them hurting themselves via slaps in the face, pinching their arms, and biting their tongues when there was idle time. There was too much time talking and lounging around doing nothing when they could have been doing that.
If sex really does fill up the vial, I would have masturbated or something. Would tickle torture even do the deed? -If so, tickling should have been used exclusively.
If sex really does fill up the vial, I would have masturbated or something.
There were even a few couples there, so it's not like they'd be forced to have sex with a stranger. And there seemed to be plenty of rooms, some with beds, with doors that they could close over or possibly even lock.
It's crazy that they didn't even try it, and went directly to cutting, stabbing, breaking bones, etc.
If they find out that the couples having sex is working, then the rest can go off and find a quiet place to masturbate. They would've had the counter filled in an hour. Unless the blonde guy would've started killing people for not torturing themselves/others. share
Like a previous poster mentioned: "desperate times call for desperate measures".. I'd say in those life or death situations an orgy is necessary. All viles fill up like crazy, bad guy will be all happy so he would let them go and best of all they would have a hell of a story to tell at parties later on.
As to what I'd do in their place I'd go with pulling nails.. Not like they did it in the movie (they broke them at the base rather than pull them). If you pull a nail clean out it will be more painful than you imagine (there's a reason pulling nails is a universal interrogation technique) but it will grow right back in a few weeks if tended to properly.
Burns are also a nice, fast way to get a massive but short burst of pain and they would heal in a few months.
By the way, thanks for starting this thread. What a lovely topic :p
The sex angle is interesting. But you are thinking like a young guy with this solution. True, a huge amount of hormones are released with an intense orgasm, but in order to get to that end, women have to work a lot harder in a difficult situation. A great orgasm does not happen in these situations, ergo, the vials don't fill as fast as you believe they would.

shareHere's the big problem with the film-
If you have ever ripped/torn a finger nail, did it stop hurting is 30 seconds? If you got burned with an iron, does that stop hurting in 60 seconds?
Sure they hurt less over time, but when people are still wincing and hobbling and bending over from pain... um, it's still pain, eh?
That and the last 5 minutes of the film make no sense.

How did the dofus know that he would be killed, intentional or on purpose?
This is what I was thinking. It reminded me of the movie Blood Sucking Freaks. These guys are torturing women, and after scooping an eyeball out, the girl screams, then stops, apparently content that the torture is over and the pain off missing an eyeball is gone within seconds.
shareI was thinking about that while watching the film, too. The film treats the serious injuries that the characters sustain as fleeting within a minute or so, which is ridiculous considering how truly serious that they actually are. The vials should have been continuously filling after someone sustained an injury, not just at the moment that he or she sustained it. That and the fact that physical pleasure also produces the same chemicals (something that Sam even suggests), which no one even bothers trying, are major plot-holes.
