Irritate Thandi Palane just enough that she decides to NOT kill you with the first punch, but a few hits at a time. Wham! broke jaw, wham broke leg, collarbones, elbows, knees, pelvis, and the infamous ballbuster writ permanent.

Then she leaves you to die... on an anthill.

Not a pleasant day in the neighborhood.

Along the same vein. Have Victor pissed off at you for a slow lingering death.

Another long lingering pain inducing death. A Treecat does a death by a zillion cuts.

Clean cuts by Clean Killer. Reminds me of the pain inflicted by an invisible razor sharp paper cut.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Just the thought of any wrestling move by Zilwicki sounds painful, but an illegal move? I pity the fool.

A bear hug by Zilwicki can kill.* Considering any of today's wrestling moves executed by Zlwicki . . .

1. The body slam
2. The neckbreaker
3. The figure four
4. The arm lock
5. DDT
6. Chokeslam
7. Piledriver
8. *The Bolo squeeze. See victim #4.

Even legal moves should be illegal if administered by Zilwicki. Nice call saber.

****** *

Aboard Elvis Santino's ship.

:lol:

Which, as Georgia Sakristos can testify, is also one of the worst ways to live. Constantly looking over your shoulder, changing addresses, systems, planets, name, appearance and lifestyle.

Since the question was about the worst ways to die, many of these where a person dies almost instantly (such as compensator failure or getting in Victor Cachet's way) do not count. For awhile I thought the Flying Dutchman you mention would be worst, but in UH we learned that the medic kit in the suit can put you into a chemical sleep until you are either recovered or dead. So now I think the worst deaths were suffered by the would-be mutineers on Wayfarer, who were forgotten in the brig as the ship was abandoned. They may have water and air until the ship breaks apart, but no food except for each others company.
