Quick Question

Krowdon · July 10, 2011, 08:18:17 PM

If you wanted to get information out of someone, how would you do it?

Kilkenne · July 10, 2011, 08:20:17 PM

ask them

Krowdon · July 10, 2011, 08:21:36 PM

*facepalm*

No. I mean if they aren't cooperating.

If you want to force the information out of them.

Kilkenne · July 10, 2011, 08:24:32 PM

what kind of situation is it, is this real life or on the interbutts? I require details

Krowdon · July 10, 2011, 08:27:11 PM

Takara and I are working on a fanfic. And we're discussing part of it.

Kilkenne · July 10, 2011, 08:28:01 PM

Horribly anti-climatic. I'm disappointed.

Answer? Blackmail.

Krowdon · July 10, 2011, 08:29:01 PM

Its not the entire fanfic. Its a building block to bigger things which I will not be sharing our plot with you.

Edit: General fanfic rating is PG to PG-13. Havent decided yet. Depends on who our target audience is.

Kilkenne · July 10, 2011, 08:37:20 PM

I'm comfortable with that. Also, "blackmail" was the answer to the original question. It's fun and exciting, and is a wonderful plot device to drive conflict.

Krowdon · July 10, 2011, 08:38:34 PM

Okay. Blackmail is good. Any other suggestions?

I was actually hoping for something humiliating and painful to go along with Blackmail.

Those are pretty good.

I like the one where the guy is hanging from the ceiling with weights. *maniac laugh*

Thanks.

*Topic still open in case anyone has stuff to add*

Lock them in a completely dark room with no explanation for 8 months, giving them food and water only at random times. This will help screw with their perception. Once they lose track of time, they will lose all hope. Now you are free to extract any info you desire out of a husk of a human being if they don't kill themselves in their confinement. Simply bring them out abruptly (the guard upgrade is useful for this, they can't use the escape option which previously had a random chance for success depending on your security level).

The up side to this is the fact that it takes minimal effort on your part. The down side is the duration of confinement needed for the individual if this tactic is to work properly. If all else fails you may need to restart the game from the latest checkpoint before your attempted interrogation (which is why you want to save before you attempt anyways) because the dev team hasn't patched all the glitches yet, sorry.

1) Poke them with soft cushions.
2) iF THAT doesn't work, put them in the comfy chair until lunchtime, with only a cup of coffee at eleven.
3) The RACK!

Oh, and on a serious note, read Aleksander Solzenitsyn?'s "The Gulag Archipelago".
LOTS of torture methods in there. Acid dipping, etc.

slap

Oh, in case you don't want to read those 600 or so pages, google the book.
