Marauder

Gay and Depressed in Prison

3rd place entry in Corgi's Gaybellion Contest

In this game, you play a very familiar character from the previous Gay and Depressed stories, who is now in jail. You used to be a side character in other people's stories, but now the spotlight is finally yours in this Gay and Depressed spin-off!

If you're interested in some more Gay and Depressed story games, check out the original by queenlatifah04, Gay Old Time by Darius_Conwright, Gay and DepressedER!!! by fresh_out_of_the_oven, and Gay and Depressed: The snow bunny society by Benholman44. All of the "gay and depressed" stories are stand-alone stories, so each one can be read separately, but I highly recommend you check these stories out!

Good point. Let's change the scenario, to where she chose to stay, and do her best to bring order. It didn't work, because the military-industrial complex is a machine much larger than any one person, and by the time she dies, she has killed at least 50 people. But, there are innumerable instances where she may have chosen to spare women and children, start building projects, try and integrate with the local community, send opinion pieces and advocate for tolerance. So, she put forth her best effort to bringing some good into the world. When she dies, how would she be judged?

You're a citizen in Salem during the Salem Witch Trials. There's a feeling of paranoia and mass hysteria in the air. Neighbors look at each other with distrust and suspicion in their eyes. You're an educated businessman. In university, you studied the works of Thomas Aquinas, John Locke, and Immanuel Kant, before moving to the small town of Salem, so you've been sitting on the sidelines, watching in horror at this frenzy of senseless killings that seemed to have swept this town out of nowhere. Knowing a bit about psychology and how people think, you know that there's isn't much time before the town self destructs, people undertake vigilante killings, and personal feuds and grudges inevitably subsume the moral reasons for the witch burnings. So you organize the townspeople, and you try and pick people as fairly as you could. You pick a young girl, hoping that the horrible murder of a young person would shock the town out of their hysteria, and bring them to their senses. You pick an older woman, thinking that she didn't have long to live anyway, and that maybe the town's thirst for blood will abate. You pick a few people like this, using reasoning that seems somewhat justifiable to yourself, until finally, the killings/hysteria gradually abate. Once you die, you're judged. Did you do the right thing? What if, by stepping in, you played the role of judge, jury, and executioner? Who gave you the right to do that? What makes you any better than the people whose lives you ended? Yes, you suppose that it could have been someone else who didn't care about minimizing harm and trying to bring an end to this, but you knowingly and willingly participated in an atrocity. You can't see the future, you had no idea whether your actions really did bring some measure of good into the world, and the people that you killed had lives that, in another reality or timeline, could have been lived out to the fullest. So, are you a good person or a bad person?

This is interesting. A soldier deployed in a war that she fundamentally doesn't believe in. It's against a country that's significantly weaker and suffers from more poverty than the soldier's home country. The war is justified by some flimsy attempts towards jingoism and vague accusations that the weaker country is harboring some sort of weapon or a fugitive that needs to be brought to justice. However, soldiers like her are few and far between. Should she defect? If she defects, she's doing a good thing by avoiding participating in something that's inherently evil and she's staying true to her beliefs. But then, she may be replaced by another soldier who, based on the laws of statistics and probability, would more than likely be a lot more sympathetic to the war effort, possibly even overzealous in their patriotism(the rhetoric of this fictional fantasy country's military training program definitely tries to select for these traits). If she stays, she's knowingly participating in evil. But maybe she could minimize harm. If she sticks to the letter of her job, maybe by her being there, that's automatically one less soldier that doesn't hesitate to go above and beyond. Maybe she could affect change, change the system from within. So is it more morally right to avoid a cause you don't believe in, or stay and try and do something about it? But there's no guarantee you actually could do something about it, and odds are, by staying, you'll just become another cog in the machine and continue to perpetrate the atrocities that you internally hate.

Locked. Best of luck, Milton!

Thank you Avo!

I'd like Prompt 26 please. In addition to my shame tax of 100 points, I'd like to make a further 50 point bet that I will write a well-thought out, complete, and non-rushed game that is of objective quality and not last-minute rushed slop.

Check out the preview now!

It's not finished yet, but the preliminary chapters are completed. That's why it's on sneak peek mode, since this is more of a sneak peek look at the larger story that is going to come out later.

Also, check out Tower of Riddles. It's a really great puzzle game made on her old account. https://chooseyourstory.com/story/tower-of-riddles

No prob Missile! Just wanted to say that your name sounds cool, it's a bit edgy which is welcome on the site :) Also, everyone is welcome on the site. Many people on the site have an edgy sense of humor, so you may get jokes about it from time to time, but no one's going to discriminate against you or hate on you for anything, we're a pretty diverse community, so all are welcome. Avery's not trans, but she's merely making a joke about the fact that you thought she was a dude. All good, and I hope you're enjoying your time here! If you want, you can see the starting material of the sequel. She started working on it, but was treated really unfairly by the hosting company she was making the game on, and real life came in, but it's a really ambitious project with a lot of potential. It's on her profile in sneak peek mode :) https://chooseyourstory.com/story/the~20price~20of~20freedom~3a~20brothers~20in~20arms
