Nuevan Vampire Torture

Criminal placed on high bed, forced to comply as devices similar to those used in blood donations are hooked up. Blood sucked out slowly and painfully over course over 2 hours.

Retired/Last Use: NA/1971
Used on: Treasoners, Murderers
Usage: Hardly Ever, Legal but not used
Times used: 32

Death By Sex
The condemned is placed on a firm bed, and a series of giant women (see below) have sex with him until either his pelvis is crushed, or he dies of exhaustion.

Blood eagle

It is performed by cutting the ribs of the victim by the spine, breaking the ribs so they resembled blood-stained wings, and pulling the lungs out. Salt is sprinkled in the wound. Most painful used mostly on women

The Trial

Victim is led into the Salt Flats or the Kirsch mountains. Victim is left with only a knife. If the victim returns, he is pardoned of all crimes. Only two have.

This has been used throughout Siapian history, but the death penalty is now abolished.

How do you painfully remove blood? I've gotten my blood taken before...it didn't hurt.

How do you painfully remove blood? I've gotten my blood taken before...it didn't hurt.

Jab it in there.... rusty stuff.... no anesthetic or attempts to minimize pain... more details? I've got plenty

That would freak me out.... death by fat chicks........thats pure evil



Mr.VanStone Hates fat chicks for that reason

Rusty stuff would only hurt so bad. There's no pain killers in the blood giving process, so not having them for torture is simply giving blood with rusty needles.

If I had to hazard a guess as to the real life implications of sensation of it, I imagine it would still be rather unpleasant. First would come the dizzy, disorienting feeling one would get from donating blood to much to quickly (I've done this). As more blood is drained from the body, I would imagine the heart would begin to pump harder and faster to compensate for the extreme drop in blood pressure which would be a rather unpleasant sensation, if not painful. From there...I'm not really sure. The heart would eventually get tired and pump itself out. Whether you're concious or not I can't say. A curious idea. I may do a bit of research into the effects the loss of blood has on the body.

Were it me, I would black out after seeing the blood come out of me. Oxalate poisoning would be more painful.

It's hardly national style, and not really execution, but at least Aerospace Logistics and probably Symmetriad practice rackmounting. Simply speaking, the subject in question is normally a fanatic criminal, often a terrorist, armed and dangerous. Risk lives to capture him? Not worth that. Snipers just shoot away his hands, making him defenseless, and then let the medics sew him up.
Those with no redeeming value have their limbs amputated and are put into convenient, compact modules. Of course, they get connected to life support.

They are mounted in standard 19" racks, 8U each, so what used to be a single prison cell now can house an entire terrorist cell! It's cheap, reliable, low-maintenance, and saves valuable space. In little time the rackmount prisons have shifted out normal ones, and replaced most cubicle prisons.

The sensory deprivation slowly melts away the mind, which lets specialists crack them easily despite all training and fanaticism (for religious groups), in exchange for just euthanasia.

Hmm... this is a tough one. MP is torture fan's dream. A uniquely national way of execution would be to let shoots of one of MP's carnivorous creeper vines grow into your skin, then let the plant's shoots whip around inside you, liquefying your internal organs. A skilled executioner can control the rate of consumption, allowing for both slow and quick deaths.

Herein the Confederacy we use good old fashioned crucifixion

People can only get the death penalty for murder, treason, and terrorism. In all three cases, we solve it with a good old-fashioned hanging.

Herein the Confederacy we use good old fashioned crucifixion

Hmm, that is a bit sacreligiousish for us. We typically stick with hanging or shooting, but there are various other execution forms that are legal. Perhaps the most barbaric:

Exposure to Carrion Birds: The criminal is tied to a post and draped in rotting animal skins. After some time, carrion birds come and feast on the rotting meat, eventually going through the animal meat and into the unfortunate victim. This one has not been used in the history of the nation, though it remains legal in nearly half the country, and is a possible fate for those convicted of crimes such as murder or communism.

The Rastorian Syndicate usually just writes out a hit contract and has their enemies whacked the old fashioned way…

The death penalty has been banned in Maraque for 2,180,466 years.

Terrorists Death Penatly:

The suspects are exposed to a wall with the cross on it for four days to pray to God for forgivenss to their crimes.

Feed pork.

Then they are whipped with plain old leather whips.

Then their open wounds are rubbed with lime and salt.

After that they see other terrorists being executed.

The last part they are alive for is to see the funeal prye for their bodies. Then a blade slowly cuts through their necks until they die.

With that their heads are put on pikes to rot.

Bodies are then burned.

This punishment is still used in many cases for terrorist masterminds and leaders.

Death by cannon:

Person loaded in a special shell for a Wolfe Coastal Gun and shot out of said cannon at an old ship or just into the deeps of the ocean. Nothing really that special, but being killed by being shot out of a cannon has to suck.

The Ri-anese have many styles.

Draw and Quarter. Getting Sliced down your Middle Horizontilly, and Verticly, having your arms and legs tied to for seperate horses. the Horses run at a Gallop in four seperate directions Thus pulling you apart.

The Ironmaiden. Not to be confused with the Musicle group. This form of death involves being put in a Coffin with spikes in the lead. The spikes face you. Slame the coffin shut. Watch the Blood pour out.

The Rack. Get Stretched to death.

Beheading. Self-explanitory. Usually done with a really sharp sword. Your head is then put on display for the public to see on top of a pike as a warning.

The Gas Chamber. Your locked in a chamber. You get gased twice. Once with a Gas that makes you do strange and silly things for the amusement of the onlookers. then the other Gas which eats you alive. there are no survivors.

Firing Squad. Stand in front of four expert marksmen who shoot you until you die.

getting Eaten by a Ri-an Mantrap. A native Plant of the world of Ri-an. the Ri-an mantrap eats anything soft and fleshy enough to wander into its jaws.

getting Eaten by something else. there are also many large carnivourous creatures that also enjoy eating people.

getting fired into the sun. Some people request getting shot into the sun.

getting fired into space. Some just want to explode all over space.

Lethal Injection. Poison is injected into your veins.

Overdose of the drug of the Victims Choice. Reserved for Drug users, pushers, and dealers. their choice is whatever type of drug they were caught with.

The Electric Chair. Your strapped to a chair. 1 Terravolt is ran through your body. If you don't die instantly, your left to rot until you do die.

Death by Divine Wrath. varies by god. reserved for Religous offenders.

Death by Kajeenith. Known for cruel tortures and punishments no Mortal can even comprehend, this is the least favorite, the slowest, and most painful of deaths. Usually the most humiliating.

Or just simply being absorbed into the Void and ceasing to exist. Technicly not Death. Rather you just stop being.

Any and all of the above are all the ways the government executes anyone breaking even the smallest of laws. Our Crime Rate is Zero, and if its not, then trust me, it WILL be.

Criminal placed on high bed, forced to comply as devices similar to those used in blood donations are hooked up. Blood sucked out slowly and painfully over course over 2 hours.
Actually, it often happens that the so-called-"civilized" looking methods are in fact the most painful ones, while many horrible looking are not. The example is electric chair, probably used just out of sadistic value, compared to simple chaingun shooting, or just guillotine or hanging.

Actually that's probably, except for medical euthanasia, the least painful method of execution - the victim just loses consciousness. It's similar to argon asphyxiation: the man works, starts to feel tired, falls to nap and at the end of the shift he's found dead. Happens with amateurs doing argon welding in confined spaces without proper equipment. Another similar thing is sleeping (or mating) in a car, warmed by running the engine, also frequent death without one even noticing. No matter how horrible the nazi germany's Gaswagens seem, they were very practical and not sadistic (sadism was done in other places).


Oh, and, back to topic, about Vault 10. Well, nothing fancy. Criminals are shot on spot either by camera-turrets or by citizens. Some idiots who have nothing more to do gather around to stare, but there aren't many of them, so basically no fuss, everyone goes on about his business. The bodies are disposed by garbage service with common biodegradables, blood washed.
If not caught on spot, but the crime is still uncontroversial, they are shot by the nearest turret upon detection and confirmation. It's not called punishment, it's ca
If there's controversy, they are captured for the trial, of course. Usually they are detected by cameras and then trapped in an airlock or elevator between compartments. Trial normally doesn't result in an execution (by quick euthanasia), because they usually can be put to use, although killing them is no longer a crime. Choice between life sentence in cubicle prison and execution is determined by ability to work, not by crime.

Almost forgot. Of course, if a confirmed criminal is caught alone in an airlock or elevator, he dies of halon poisoning from the firefighting system. Although he's more likely to be trapped and exploited.

In Strator depending on the crime I use different execution styles

Terrorism: Knee caping then being put into the middle of a 150 meter long corridor corridor in between a group of blood hungry cannibals and an exit, if they make it to the exit they live. If they give information on their terrorist group, they only get one knee cap shot.

Theft: beaten every day for a week, on the last day they get their brains shot out by a shot gun.

Murder: placed into a pit with other murderers and made to fight to the death with their fists only, the winner gets beaten with spiked chains by ten men for 2 hours, and if he survives he goes free, but has to join the army.

Rape: hung from reproductive organs 100 feet above ground for a day.

Speaking against the government: gets his fingers and thumbs broken and then made to write a 500 word appology in five minutes, otherwise he is ripped apart by the rack.

Lying to a police officer: placed into a heating room and left to burn, given a quicker death if they say something useful to the police.

Vandalism: whipped 100 times the cut open by surgical equiptment

Arson: hit by a hot brand 100 times, branded fully then placed into a heating room and lit on fire.

Drinking alcohol: placed on a 250 meter long pole with an exit on the other end, but before being placed there, being given excessive amounts of alcohol and being made very dizzy.

Other crimes either are punished by common execution methods or torture, the worst torture being the "Last hope" which is given to enemies of the state.

Last Hope: The convict has his eyelids and fingernails ripped off and then has tubes inserted into the throat and wrists to make IV flow better. They will then have giant nails hammered into their bones with parts sticking out to restrict movement. They are then strapped into a chair in a room with completely black walls and no light they will be fed through IV, they are left there for two months with subliminal messages are being played through speakers telling him or her to forget who they were. The darkness is kept whilst a machine turns on to give them new memories, mixed together in a mesh. They will be given mermories of several different identities in different countries, the only constant is that they need to live to stop the end of the world and protect their loved ones. Once they are released from captivity they will feel they pain of staring into the sun after not seing it for two months, they will travel the world confused and in pain. Lovely torture is it not?

The Gali'randi crime rate is ridiculously low, due to its species' hyperevolved status. When a crime meriting execution is committed by any of the higher species -- specifically An'dari or Ves'dari -- the collective consciousness simply shuts off the criminal's hearts, causing it to die. I suppose it might be slightly unpleasant.

The death penalty has been banned in Maraque for 2,180,466 years.

I didn't know Australopithecus africanus even had the death penalty in the first place.

Maraque had cars back then. We're an advanced people.

JK, but we were advanced. ;)

Maraque had cars back then. We're an advanced people.

JK, but we were advanced. ;)

well, I suppose I'm one to talk, considering that Gali'randi have been around for about 13 billion years.... :p but at least I state that's FT. Claiming any form of society 1.97 million years before humans even existed is a bit much. <.< Unless you aren't humans, in which case that's a different matter altogether.

Or so you thought they didn't exist. ;) Maraqueans are the first known humans, duh. :p ;)

Or so you thought they didn't exist. ;) Maraqueans are the first known humans, duh. :p ;)

No they're not. *notes November 2004 join date* The first known humans would be a 2002 nation. ;)

Walk the plank. Man overboard in the deep ocean. Add a little weight and they sink like a stone.

Pffft. Lies. All lies!

Humans (early roman catholics and italian-speakers) weren't in my nation until 400 A.D. Even then, it was city-states until 1007 (unification), overseas empire began in 1300's, and democracy came in 1707. Though early human remains were found, caveart depicts disease killin' em' off.

Anyways, More torture.

Hung in an Iron Cage Until Death

That is the sentence proclaimed by the judge who has deemed the convicted worthy of one of the Dominion's most unique executions. Just as it says, the criminal is hung in an iron cage out in front of the courthouse. The cage is placed high above the ground to prevent escape. No food or water is provided. The criminal will sustain hiimself only on water from precipitation and any food that he happens to catch or is thrown at him by angry townspeople. The cages are small, and usually have barely enough room for the convict to kneel.

Depending on the elements, and how much food and water he can procure, he might be hanging up there for a few months before he dies. The lucky criminal has his cage struck by lightning on the first night.

This is only one method of the death penalty exercised in the Dominion. Others include normal hanging and hanging, drawing, and quartering. The latter is most often awarded to those convicted of treason or heresy, although it is up to the judge on each case what the penalty shall be. One judge might order death by iron cage while another simply might shut the convict in the stocks for a week.

We belive in an-eye-for-an-eye. What ever the nature of your crime, is the punishment you get.

We're inventive, but we have a few favorites.

1. Reserved for captured VIPs of some sort: Put him inside a watertight capsule that deprives him of all orientation. For fun, you can put this in a wave pool so he's knocked around. Set him afloat somewhere. He'll be forced to consume his own bodily waste for sustenance, and eventually die of blood poisoning. This can take quite a while.

2. Marathon Torture, used only when we've got time to spare on a case. This is basically a contest by Inquisitors to see how long they can prolong a victim's pain before his brain finally gives out. Needless to say, with skill, this can be prolonged for a VERY long time. Recently, tools have been able to quantify the victim's pain, so maintaining a high "average pain level" has become important as well.

3. Another time-consuming one. You are stood in a bucket containing a few piranhas, then given a vast array of food. The aim is to eat indefinitely, trying to create fat cells that they will waste all their time eating. This is a new torture; one used to bleed to death fairly quickly. However, a device cleans the spilled blood and feeds it intravenously right back into the victim. This is, obviously, expensive and not very fun to watch, so it's rarely used.

4. Quick and gruesome. A surgeon incises a victim and ties a strong cord to either a section of intestine or one of the ribs, tying it to a pole atop a wall. Then the unfortunate man is thrown off the wall. Either his intestines will be pulled out by the fall, or when the cord runs out his ribs will be torn out of his body.

5. Interrogation devices exist that prompt a satisfactory response from the victim by a variety of different tortures; inserting a hot iron into the ears, for example, or applying electric shock directly to the spinal column.

6. A victim is chained, standing upright, in a small cubicle with one wall consisting essentially of a giant fan; coarse sand and small rocks are then blown through the fan, abrading his flesh until he's dead.

By the way, I really hope Doom sees this :)

Execution for Class 1 Crimes.

1. Fingernails are pulled out, hand and feet bones are broken by beating them with steel rods.
2. The Criminal has his eyes gouged out, his tongue cut out, and his ears removed.
3. After electricuting the Criminals testicles, they are removed and stuffed into the criminals mouth, which is then duct taped.
4. Arms and Legs are sawed off, the remaining torso is then flogged.
5. The remaining criminal is thrown into a vat of boiling oil until dead.
6. The Criminals head is cut off and placed upon a pike for all to see. His torso is mounted upon a catapult and is flung into the ocean.

Jesus, some of you are sick. I honestly don't believe there is any torturer that would do some of that shit :-p

For Petty Crimes
Hanging.

For Heads of State
Beheaded.

For Military Criminals (can be requested by head of state, also many heads of state are techically military people)
Firing squad.

OK, they're hardly unique, but I think the classification system probably is.

However, some areas where there is little law influence - the deep south and the fareast north for example, the law (and therefore punishments) are carried out by vigilantes who have a Royal Charter to do so. Lynchings and even in some extreme religious parts, burning at the stake, are common. Also, there's a method where the criminal will be tied to a tree and an apple placed on his head. One of the victims families is given a rifle with 3 rounds and if they can hit the apple, they get all of the criminal's belongings. If they can't hit the apple, or the criminal, the vigilantes shoot him and take his belongings. If they miss the apple but hit him, well, job done :-p

Jesus, some of you are sick. I honestly don't believe there is any torturer that would do some of that shit :-p

*SNIP*
Fully Seconded.:rolleyes: The only reason my country posts here is because we practice Proscription (the Roman practice of allowing random citizen vigilantism upon those formally listed as "Enemies of the State") as well as conventional execution (lethal injection or firing squad, @ defendant's choice since some prefer the more "military" way as Questers noted) for those crimes deserving it (capital murder, rape, capital kidnapping, treason, &c.). It may be fairly "plain" compared to the extravagant tortures above, but it's rare enough to probably qualify as "unique" in modern terms.
Under this, the person proscribed is freed to live their life (what little remains) unfettered and safe from any further State prosecution or harrassment. But equally, it is announced publicly on all public-service radio and TV channels that they are "Enemies of the State and People" who can be subjected to "People's Justice" without penalty, at any time or place the discharging citizen sees fit.
Note, however, that this practice is not without a procedure of its own. Once a kill is made and claimed, the claimant must submit to arrest pending Police verification. If the victim was indeed legally proscribed by a tribunal in good standing, then the claimant is released without charges or penalties. If the victim was NOT proscribed, then the case becomes a simple murder investigation and the claimant just another suspect. Well, aside from having much more evidence against them than usual...
In any case, most Humans in Wagdog rarely take advantage of this, usually due to moral objection which is their right; and the Elves outright forbid themselves to participate in it. Hence the Proscription laws are often snidely nicknamed "the Vampiric Ordinances" after their primary backers and users, the country's 2% Vampire population, with the 5% were-human population being a close second. These groups take advantage of these laws because it allows them a certain "thrill of the hunt" in their lifestlyes which frequenting butchers' shops or blood banks for food usually doesn't allow. And in the Weres' cases, they also have the legal right to hunt the national parks or any designated green-space on their property during their transformed period under the full moon, so unlike the Vampires they have a backup which makes use of Proscription rights on their part somewhat rarer.

Executions are extremely rare in mainstream Crookfur society with Capitol punishment beign reserved only for those whom are judged to have no possible route to redemption or rehabilitation.
When the Judiciary imposes capitol punishment and it is approved by the King the method of implementation is generally closer to assissted sucide than anythign else with msot executions carried out while the giulty is asleep and is constatly monitored by select members of the Order of Hospitialiers who have dedicated themselves to ending the suffering of others.

Vigilante justice does take place in certain parts of Crookfur although it tends more towards taking the victim quietly out into the woods/bush and shooting him discretely as mobs and hysteria are not part of the national culture.

The use of lethal force by Law enforcement and paramilitary organisations is widely approved although officially discouraged.

Finally when we turn to the dark "shadow war" side of Crookfur the tortures and executions do become a bit more extreme in response to the kind of individuals and threats the Orders Militant and Inquisition find themselves dealing with. Although saying that most methods used tend towards accuracy, efficency and the fufilment of specific objectives than any degree of pure sadism.

Most executions are through firing squad or the gallows, criminal's choice. For cases of piracy we also allow walking the plank, not at criminal's discretion.

Jesus, some of you are sick. I honestly don't believe there is any torturer that would do some of that shit :-p
And what about rackmounting - do you believe humans could be this inconsiderate?


Including cubicle and rack prisons, of course.

We can sell you the equipment. Rackmount now!

Murderer Rapists:

They are forced to castrate themselves and then they are thrown until a volcano.

The Federated Klatchian Coast
High Treason or People We Really Do Not Like

First, the individuals arms and legs are bound with spiked hawthorn rose vines, which prevent the individual from feeing themselves as the three inch thorns will easily peirce their skin, and infect them with a stimulant preventing sleep.

Second, the individual's eyelids are removed to prevent them from closing their eyes.

Third, the individuals tounge is removed, or their mouth filled to prevent screaming keeping us up at night.

Fourth, the individual is hung via their testes (or breasts if female) from the Clock Tower of Parliament Palace. he indivdiual is hung so that they may view Port Olympus, The Federation Square, and the Blood stones at the bottom of the tower.

Fifth, Many small incisions are made into the skin around the attachement area.

Sixth, A dilute acid is then dripped slowly upon the subject, both keeping their wounds open and eating away at their skin.

Usually during this period, various individuals will climb to the tower to scream obsenities, piss on or defecate on the individuals, (forcing them to watch the raping of their loved ones was banned upon formation of the federation, although watching co-conspiritors be whipped is still allowed)

Obviously, after a given period in time the individuals flesh will weaken to beyond being able to support the individual's weight. At this point they drop the eight stories from the tower to the Blood Stones below.

If the individual survives the fall, they will not survive the cleaning of the stones with boric acid which is used to eat the flesh from the bones of the traitor.

The remains of the individual are then groud up and added to some sausage which is either fed to the dogs, or the individuals co-conspiritors.

Well, as you can see by my methods, I give convicts a chance to live. By the way, does anybody want to test my "Last Hope" method on political enemies, there are not enough in my country for me to be able to enjoy watching this process. I assure you it is very fun to watch them. Ocassionally, for the selfis ones who want to be free of the pain, I even place a device next to the brain to make them black out and forget everything from the last 48 hours, if they think of commiting suicide.

In the most dire of circumstances (read: Mass Spammers, Serial Killers, Serial Spammer-Killers...) New Oxford resorts to one unique form of 'execution', which, to be sure, is probably causing the creators of the Geneva Convention to spin in their graves. Rapidly.

Ringtonum Ad Mortum*

1. Prisoners are placed in a soundproof room, and strapped to a comfortable chair with their eyes forced open. Placed strategically around the room are numerous speakers of various sizes, and in front of them a large TV screen.

2. A Heuristic Algorithmic Mark 9000 (HAL-9000) computer scans current portable telecommunications ringtone charts, internet memes and popular music lists and samples them and compares with prisoner psychological profile to compose playlist of 16 ringtones. Additionally, a playlist of irritating, repetitive animations and movies is composed.

3. The playlist is played in a semi-simultaneous staggered fashion to cause maximum psychological damage. The video playlist is also played, with its accompanying soundtrack being played at some times, also for maximum psychological damage.

4. Prisoner is subjected to this for 12 hours. Despite being physically sound, testing has shown that this procedure often results in TPD, or Total Personality Death. The prisoner is sent for rehabilitation and conditioning.

5. HAL-9000 computer is released to once again attend to whatever job it was doing prior to engagement in 12-hour session. Reports have shown that such AI constructs find this activity therapeutic and cases of AI-Human homicides have dropped to almost zero.

Execution is reserved for only the most serious of crimes; Muder; Rape and Pedophilia are all capital crimes; Muderers are executed by a simple Chemical Compouind that once injected into there system turns there blood to battery acid that slowly eats off there flesh while sufficating them and making there body feel like its on fire just for kicks deatjh occurs within minutes dispite being quite painful.

Rapists and Peophiles are Crusified slowly while being periodically torured by there victims; it takes them 3 weeks to die.

Meh... In Neo-Erusea we just shoot the bastard

In my nation, for capital offences the condemned are stapped to a metal devise and their limbs are systematicly twisted until they are ripped off. A very painful way to go. For anything other than capital offences the condemned are hung and shot twice in the chest. :D

Probably Scaphism, last used in Parthia in the 1600s, and only by Parthian forces against General Eastmoreland after capturing him in his rebellion in Roach Busters. Essentially, the victim is placed in a pair of narrow rowboats with head, hands, and feet protruding from the improvised container. Then, the victim is force fed a mixture of milk and honey which causes severe diarrhea, and more honey would be rubbed on his body so as to attract insects to the exposed appendages. They are then left to float on a stagnant pond. The defenseless victim's feces acumumlates within the container, attracting more insects, which then eat and breed within their exposed, and gangrenous flesh. Death occurs due to a combination of dehydration, starvation and septic shock, often after a week or more.

New Reman has a death penalty, but we do believe in doing things in the most civilized way possible. Currently lethal injection is the prefered method. All of these other ideas seem barbaric and cruel. Our enemies and criminals don't share our compassion and that is why it is important to hang on to it, less we stoop to their level. Ney, goverments should act in a move civilized manner.
