If you were some random dude in a Medieval Fantasy setting and there was a reward for ogres, would you and the boys grab your pitchforks and go after one?
>>98919173I'd start breeding them in hopes of collecting on the reward many, many times.This would then cause even more ogres to exist.
As with any other lynching my willingness to participate depends on target's skin color.
>>98919173Depends, is he out there causing mayhem, or just vibing?
>>98919173I dunno man, depends on a lot of factors>am I doing well enough that I don't need to go out and do adventuring?>is the ogre causing any trouble?>how many people would be joining?In any case, ain't no way I'm going to an ogre's den with just a damn pitchfork, at least give me a proper spear or something.Also, if we're all just a bunch of peasants, we'd need at least like 15 people to have a shot at it, and that's knowing more than half would certainly die.
>>98919173If we were paid per ogre, we would breed them, like snakes in India.
>>98919620Once you have the breeding operation going, you might also try making some half-ogre hybrids. Strength of an ogre with social amiability of a human could make for great menial workers.

>>98919173Depends on the reward, the nature of ogres in this setting, and the availability of ogres to slay. Like, if I'm travelling hundreds of miles to fight some unstoppable goliath for peanuts, that offer can go fuck itself. If I'm going a few miles into the woods to kill some murderous fatass with minimal special physical abilities for a hefty bag of money, I'd consider it.>>98919194>>98919620Based cobra effect enjoyers.

>>98919216No it depends on payment
>>98925433How much do I have to pay you to slay my ogre? He's playing his music too loud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B05KyAyAa4k
>>98919173No, we'd use our wives and daughters to lure them into a trap then drop huge rocks and sharpened logs on them, then throw pitch on the pile and burn what's left.
>>98926519imagine the smell
>>98926519>>98928084If they have a lot of fat and significant amounts of gas buildup, that shit’s gonna explode.
>>98919173>If you were some random dude in a Medieval Fantasy setting and there was a reward for ogres, would you and the boys grab your pitchforks and go after one?an ordinary gorilla can rip a full grown man into shreds, yet african nignogs are hunting them from ancient times.So I think that a crowd of peasants with pitchforks would be effective against an ordinary ogre
>>98919194>>98919620>>98920167The hypothetical solution to this problem is a reward proportional to the negative delta of ogre population that your company can prove it personally contributed to, with anyone who caused zero change getting no reward and anyone who caused a positive change getting burned alive. At this point the possible downside would no longer be the farming of new ogres that are less likely to get killed in the long term (because their expected value from farming is higher than killing them immediately), but a Four Pests-like trophic cascade, since if ogres mainly kill and eat wild herbivores like deer and bovines, getting rid of most ogres would cause their prey to increase in number, which would then cause plants or smaller animals (if ogres ate omnivores/carnivores) to significantly decrease in number, overall causing a sudden shift in the numbers of each point in the food web.A solution to the above problem could be declaring some areas to be ogre habitats (which can be shrunk at a small rate over time to observe if ogres have any role in the ecosystem, and if they do not have any role over decades of testing, they can just be killed), and establishing a punishment for bringing ogres out of ogre habitats (both due to the damage caused by escaping ogres and to stop a variant of the cobra effect/Goodhart's Law for the following reward) combined with a reward for killing ogres outside of their habitat.>>98919314>Also, if we're all just a bunch of peasants, we'd need at least like 15 people to have a shot at it, and that's knowing more than half would certainly die.Buying/renting a Handgonne or ballista could be cheaper than hiring a large number of henchmen, especially if the henchmen know that they have a risk of dying for accepting the task.
>>98928552Gorillas can definitely maul a motherfucker to the point where you're not gonna want to fight back, but they're not WookiesThey're not even bearsGrizzly bears WILL render you unrecognizable to your next of kinYou basically have to think of this as a bear hunt if the bear was much slower and could carry a club instead of having claws
>>98923956More like jugaad>Yes I'm abusing the system, that means I'm cleverIzaat is more like>This girl is insulting me by turning me down after I tell her she is beautiful and ask her for vegana so I will rape her on principle
>>98930870People have also hunted bears since the stone age, including short faced bears, they hunted lions to extinction in Europe and much of the near east by the time of the first civilizations.
>>98919194>>98919620Civilian vs Citizen behavior.
I think people here are underestimating the average ogre.
>>98931615I think ogre simps are underestimating the power of a dozen guys with pointy sticks and larger brains
>>98931615>>98932047The comparisons to bears and gorillas fall flat when you remember that ogres can speak. They're intelligent enough for language and at least some degree of critical thinking. If you want to compare them to anything, the africans >>98928552 mentioned aren't a bad fit. But that just means an ogre is smart enough to make spears and throw spears. On top of those spears and any clubs being built for a 10 foot tall goliath, so unless you and the boys roll up with some shields along with those pointy sticks, somebody is probably dying. Even with shields there's a good chance of just having an arm broken.If you have a dozen guys you can still probably win, it's just not going to be nearly as trivial as a wild animal would be.
>>98926519OK, but enough about your wife. How do we deal with the ogre?
>>98931615>>98933043Some number of them can cast, too.
