Hang 'em high...body pile to the left is growing.
Tree thinks there should be a 'sticky' background section where people can contribute backgrounds (duh) any thoughts? and nice pic Melissa. Dorothy would feel like she could relate to this...

Sticky background/reenactors/models etc is an excellent idea. Eg medieval, Roman, dungeon, etc. How else could they bump off people in Medieval times?
Tree can think of a few ways... let's see who posts...

Well, there was the Norse blood eagle, if indeed it was actually practised outside of sagas and tales. Very nasty.
The ribs are cut from the spine and opened to make bloody wings.
Impaling, always popular
Crushing, as with rocks, useful if for cultural reasons you didn't want to shed blood
Strangling
Exposure (numerous varieties of)
Quartering (several methods, ie by animals)
The wheel
Burning
Gibbet (see exposure)
Dismemberment (see quartering)
(what a cheerful post!)
etc - for starters

seriously Tree, I think a sticky thread where members could post and share backgrounds and other "stock" for our creative artists would be a very welcome resource. If you (or anyone else) would like to start one and tip Melissa or me off that you've done it, we can easily make it "sticky", so it stays at the top of the menu, and we'd try to keep it reserved for its intended use.
I'll send some soon...

I have a slight technical question.
The medival manip above uses a "modern" hangman's knot, one designed to break the neck and provide a fairly instantanious death through a fall and a sudden stop (remember when jumping off a building, its not the fall that kills you, it is the sudden stop).
I was under the impression that most medieval/ancient hangings were strangulation hangings where the victim died slowly and you didn't need a complicated heavy knot.
Just wondering. Role played being hung once. My execution said I did a very nice job.

Depends on how tight the noose is made and how coarse the rope and how long the drop. You may need 'Depends'

I'm certain you are correct willowfall but mention noose to Google and only one image will pop up. The cowboy and indians noose.

We recently downloaded a few nice fonts. Henny Penny and Ink In The Meat were two that caught my eye. In this pic LittleSiss has gone to the meat market after her husband mentioned that after a few pints he always fancied a bit of breast. There she met Messaline at Dorothy Brown's meat stall. That's where the font comes in!

OMG, that must be a thousand year old manip from the old Yahoo BATS group. It seems perhaps there are more manips of me floating around that I thought.
I don't know whose body that is but I DON'T have a piercing there!
