Quote: Fubsy @ March 25 2009, 4:32 PM GMTsootyj, I could be a million miles out here, but I think this would have more impact the other way round.
If it was the prisoner reacting to the cards, "oh God no, its the death card, I'm going to die"
and the guard pacifying him, "not necessarily, it may just mean a change of vocation" or some such, before the evil reveal.
That's great but I think it's a sequel more than an alternative, actually I really like that one. I could picture a 3rd part where they're playing chess and the guard wins by executing him maybe?
