I was reading through a book last night and found this a rather interesting form of execution -
If horror could be graduated, death by scaphismus, or 'the boats' as it was also known, would rate within the top twenty, its details being of truly nightmarish proportions. The historian Zonaras, writing in the twelfth century, spared his readers little in his description of the execution meted out by Parysatis, mother of Artaxerxes and Cyrus, to the man who boasted of having killed Cyrus when vying with him for kingship. The fact that the condemned man survived as long as 14 days before dying almost defies belief. As Zonaras reported:
'The Persians outvie all other barbarians in that, in the horrid cruelty of their punishments, they employ tortures which are peculiarly terrible and long drawn out, one of the worst being "the boats".
Two boats are joined together, one on top of the other, with holes cut in them in such a way that only the victims head, hands and feet are left outside. Within these boats the man to be punished is placed lying on his back and the boats anre then nailed together with iron bolts.
Food is given, and by prodding the his eyes he is forced to eat, even against his will. Next they pour a mixture of milk and honey into the wretched man's mouth until he is filled to the point of nausea, smearing his face, feet and arms with the same mixture. And by turning the coupled boats about, they arrange that his eyes are always facing the sun. This is repeated every day, the effect being that flies, wasps and bees, attracted by the sweetness, settle on his face and all such parts of him as project outside the boats, and miserably torment and sting him.
Moreover, as he does inside the closed boats those things which men are bound of necessity to do after eating and drinking, the resulting corruption and putrefaction of the liquid excrement's give birth to swarms of worms of different sorts which, penetrating inside his clothes, eat away at his flesh.
Thus the victim, lying in the boats, his flesh rotting away in his own filth, is devoured by worms and dies in a lingering and horrible death, for when the upper boat is removed, his body is seen to be all gnawed away, and all about his inwards is found a multitude of these and the like insects, that grows denser everyday.'

What are your thoughts on this?
-
I think I'm going to have to pick up that book....That form of torture is quite interesting. Do you have any others?
-
I do, the book has loads quite a few, I'll put more on soon.
I'd recommend it, I got it for christmas and only started reading it last night, its very interesting.

Yay! I can't wait. I've always been fascinated by torture. :-D

Another form of execution, not so widley known.
A far from speedy death, the bastinado involved the victim's being caned gently and rhythmically with a lightweight stick on the soles of the feet. A skilled executioner was needed to sustain the torture for many hours before the mental collapse and eventul death of the victim.
Although the method was widely used in Persia (now Iran), the specialists were the Chinese who, while not concentrating just on the soles of the feet, used thin lengths of spilt bamboo to torture and eventually kill their victims. The 'lictors', as they were called, were so skilled that they could flick the victim's body hundreds of times without breaking the skin, or, at the other extreme, tear the flesh off in long strips.
Such expertise was achieved only after much practice on blocks of bean-curd, a substance resembling thick custard, and they were not permitted to graduate on to a living target until they are able to strike repeatedly at the bean-curd without breaking the surface.
The Turks also emplyed the bastinado during the atrocities they inflicted on the Armenians in 1915-16, evidence being provided in documents placed before Parliament in October 1916. As reported by eyewitnesses, the residents of Hartpout and Mezre were subjected to beatings of as many as two hundred to eith hundred strokes until they lost conciousness. Many suffered prolonged applications of the bastinado on the soles of their feet, followed by boiling water poured over the seared and lacerated flesh, death frequently ensuing.

Is it for future knowledge Amaya? ^_~
Maaaybe. I'm not telling. :evil:
Torture for me is interesting in a few ways... What people went through during the years when those punishments were meted out, the twisted minds and ideas of the people that created the tortures, a form of psychological discipline is in there as well (you always have something to compare your situations to)... Sometimes there's more to it than just that, y'know?
To me, torture is a form of art. As gruesome and ghastly as it may seem, there's a hidden beauty in it. Yeah, I know that sounds really weird but...it is one of my philosophies.
-
Hmmm...this one's more funky and humorous in my opinion. It's still intriguing. (Now I want to try this with some fruit....)
-
Ha ha, I tried with split bamboo on a banana...after a few flicks it mushes...I need to practice.
more shall be posted soon Amaya...

Don't worry about it dude. No biggie...
Keep these things coming, though. I'm loving 'em so far.

I found this one quite amusing:
Cyphon
This was a rare method of execution, but none the less macabre. It was described by the Greek dramatist Aristophanes (448-388 BC) as one in which the naked victim was secured by his neck and wrists in the pillory, then left to endure the burning rays of the sun and the attacks of stinging insects, which were attracted by a mixture of milk and honey with which he had been smeared.
Should he, against all the odds, survive for twenty days, he was taken down and, as a degradation, dressed in women's clothes before being escorted by large crowds to the cliffs, over which he was thrown head first.

Amaya, I have a few books on torture & punishment that you might find intresting. PM me & I'll give you a list. I can see some of your point. Torture is fascinating because of the ingenuity it takes to dream up the torture, the fortitude it takes to carry it out, & the strength it takes to suffer through it.
-
The History of Torture & Punishment, it's a book too & both are available for purchase. The book is incredible & has a ton of images.
-
Wow. I like that one. I think it's my favorite so far. It reminds me of the myth of Prometheus.

Another, which I think a few may be interested in.
Cannibalism
Practised by some African tribes earlier this century, this method of execution was a traditional rite inflicted upon those committing adultery. After judgment had been passed by the village elders, the doomed couple were stripped naked and tied to posts sunk deep in the ground, about four feet apart, staring at each other. Water, but no food, was given to them, the water being heavily salted.
After twenty-four hours the man would be asked whether he wanted any food. Regardless of his reply, the executioner, wielding a panga, a long, wide-bladed knife, would slice off a portion of the woman's breast and force it into the man's mouth, his assistant staunching the gaping wound to prevent too much loss of blood. The action would then be repeated in reverse, the woman being fed with some of her lovers flesh.
The procedure, watched by all the villagers, would continue, the executioner prolonging the ordeal by taking care not to sever arteries or cut vital organs with his panga, until one of the victims died. When that occurred, the corpses flesh would be fed to the other until he or she also expired.
An instance of rather different character took place in the 1930s in the village of Afik-Itu in Nigeria. The headman, Epe, had developed a taste for human flesh and, having complete authority over the village, condemned offenders to death with his appetite in mind.
The victims were trussed like chickens, sharp hooks being thrust through their back muscles so that, attached to chains, they could be swung over a roaring fire from a tripod. There they were roasted alive as if on a spit. When done to a turn, the bodies were cut down, to be eaten by Epe and others, the headman selecting the choicest morsels, the livers, for himself.
Although reports of the atrocities filtered through the British authorities, punitive expeditions proved futile, and it was many years before Epe was tracked down and brought to justice.

Mazzatello
Widely employed in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Italy, this was probably one of the most brutal methods of execution ever devised, requiring minimal skill on the part of the executioner and superhuman acquiescence by the victim.
The standard procession brought the victim and his confessor on to the scaffold, where waited the black-clad and masked executioner leaning on a long handled mallet, the mazzatello. After prayers had been said for the salvation of the condemned man's soul, the executioner would move round to stand behind the fellon and, after a couple of preliminary swings of the weapon, would bring it down with crushing force on the victim's head. That done, he would kneel over the crumpled, figure on the scaffold boards and, producing his knife, would then proceed to slit the unconscious man's throat.

I have a feeling Kreep's will like this, not sure why....

In the mean time...
Thousand Cuts
Known in China as 'Ling-chy', in the west by such titles as 'the slicing process' and 'cutting into ten thousand pieces', death by a thousand cuts was without doubt one of the most horrendous methods of execution. Nor is it a relic of ancient and barbaric history, for even as recently as the Chinese Communist uprising of 1927-28 such atrocities took place, it being reported in The Times in December 1929 of opponents being dispatched 'by the slicing process'.
On the scaffold, near the victim who was secured to a cross stood table upon which was a basket covered with a cloth. In the basket was a large collection of razor-sharp knives, each marked with the name of a part of the human anatomy. The procedure that followed was hideously simple, for the executioner then slipped his hand under the cloth covering and, withdrawing a knife, proceeded to sever the appropriate limb or portion of flesh, mutilating the victim until, either by luck or having been bribed by relatives, the knife donating the heart was drawn out, to bring a merciful end to the suffering.
Later, possibly to prevent such early terminations of the victim's agony, the method was modified, only one knife being used to amputate, one slice at a time in strict sequence, the various parts of the body. The fleshy parts - thighs, calves and breasts - were dealt with first, followed by appendages such as the nose, ears, fingers and toes. Skillfully wielding the knife, the executioner then methodically cut threw the wrist and ankle joins, severing hands and feet, and likewise through the elbows, shoulders and hips. Finally, despite the victim's life being all but extinguished, he ended the butchery by stabbing the man through the heart, and decapitating him. A detailed eye-witness account was given by the explorer Thomas Meadows in his book The Chinese and their Rebellions, written in 1856:
'The executioner proceeded, with a single dagger or knife, to cut up the man on the cross, whose sole clothing consisted of wide trousers, rolled down to his hips and up his buttocks. He was a strongly made man, above middle size, and apparently about forty years old. The authorities had captured him by seizing his parents and wife, when he surrendered, as well as to save them from torture as to secure them the seven thousand dollars for his apprehension.
As the man was at a distance of twenty-five yards with his side towards us, though we observed the two cuts across his forehead, the cutting of his left breast and slicing of the flesh from the front of his thighs, we could not see all the horrible operation. From the first stroke of the knife til the moment the body was cut down from the cross and decapitated, about four or five minutes elapsed.'
The 'thousand cuts' of the title is of course an exaggeration, none the less horrific for all that, for another author, James Gray, wrote in 1878 that those guilty of minor offenses received a mere eight cuts before being beheaded, whereas others who had committed more serious crimes endured as many as a hundred and twenty slices of their limbs and flesh. Visiting the scene shortly after the execution of a rebel, Tai Chee-Kwei, Gray inspected the pieces of the dismembered body lying around, or which 'the hands and feet were among the most conspicuous portions'. Nor were the remains given a decent burial, they were thrown into a nearby hole and unceremoniously buried.
As to be expected in a country as large as China, many variations of Ling-chy existed, not all of them resulting in the virtual dismantling of the victim's body.
One such method, practiced in the last century in a remote village near Canton, was witnessed by Eugene Victor, a visitor to the nearby British mission. He described how a thief had been tied to an upright cross so that his arms extended beyond the extremities of the cross-piece. The executioner then approached and, with a single powerful blow of his sword, dexterously amputated each of the felon's hands at the wrist. Immediately, his assistant came forward and quickly cauterized the gaping wounds with a flaming torch so that his superior could commence the next phase. The witness admitted that he watched this with horrified fascination, for the execution then took a razor-sharp knife and proceeded to make fine incisions in the victim's flesh, starting at the man's shoulders and cutting down to the ankles. 'So keen the blade,' Victor wrote, 'that the myriad of cuts bled very little, and the screaming criminal was soon covered with fine red lines as if his skin had been painted in that fashion. And the executioner continued his task with such deliberate and deft strokes, that it was many hours before the victim, writhing in agony, finally succumbed'

Painful....
Leo
-
Reminds me of the week I got ten paper cuts in the art room. Nasty and painful. Depending on how deep or shallow the wounds are that really could be torture.
-
Something I just thought of is a device called something like "pair of lay". It is actually an extreme version of the speculum used by gynacologists. It is insirted into the mouth, vagina, or anus of the victim & slowly cranked open until it splits the oriface open & in the case of the mouth version, seperating the mandible from the maxilla.
-
I think so, it turns out it was used in an Episode of Bones the other night.
-
This one is rather interesting to say the least...
Sewn in an Animal's Belly
In this century current methods of execution are well known - hanging, the electric chair, the gas chamber, and so on - it being accepted that to a greater or lesser extent they are carried out with as much respect for human decency as possible.
But in the time of the Greek Writer Lucian (AD 117-180) many more bizarre and revolting methods were in force, one of which he included in his Dialogues of the Dead. It was the account of proceedings held to decide the penalty to be inflicted on a Christian martyr, a woman, one official saying:
'We must discover some sort of death whereby this maiden may endure long-drawn and bitter torment; so let us kill this ass and afterwards cut open its belly, and after removing the inwards, shut up the girl inside in such a way that only her head be left outside (this to prevent her being entirely suffocated) while the rest of her body be hid within the carcass.
Then, when this has been sewn up, let us expose them both to the vultures - a strange meal prepared in a new and strange manner. Now just consider the nature of this torture, I beg you. To begin with, a living woman will be sut up in a dead ass; then by reason of the heat of the sun she will be roasted within its belly; further she will be tormented with mortal hunger, yet entirely unable to destroy herself. Yet other features of her agony, both from the stench of the dead body as it rots, and the swarm of writhing worms, I say nothing of. Lastly, the vultures that feed on the carcass will ren in pieces the living woman at the same time.'
All shouted assent to this monstrous proposal, and unanimously approved its being put into execution.

-
Odd one. Kinda reminds me of my strange phobia of food inside of other food.
-
no the best way to torcher is this one me and my friends made.
You tie the victim down and bend them over naked. you then take a hollow pipe and shove it up there ass, not to far but fat enough for this to work. You then take barbwire and feed it through the pipe leaving enough out for you to grab. you then remove the pipe and let the barb wire sit for a wile. The longer the better. And then when your ready you rip out the barbwire pulling out there intestines if you did it just right. You may get different results depending on the speed of putting.
Or just remove the fingernail and teethe one by one, but dot do them to close to each other.
Another one is an old torcher, the would take a persons head and tilt it all the way up. they would then put on a collar on the person and attach a spike under there chin. so if the move their head down at all. there dead.
HAHA.
-
No offense but that sounds more like some bizarre type of fraternity initiation instead of a form of torture. *<:)
-
Haha, sounds to me like some form of kinky fun time :laugh:
the finger nail one I've heard before...I've also heard of inserting a hypodermic needle, underneath the finger nail, straight into the finger end, and move it about slightly, this can cause extreme pain so I've heard...
Leo
-
hey if u think its kinky i aint gona say nothin. i mean if u get turned on do ing that theres nothing wrong with that (i guess.) But still u cant tell me that ud enjoy having ur intestince riped out. Ok YOU might.
LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL haha

Demon - If you wish to pit your amateur torturer's skills against others like this, please, make your own thread. Then we can truly unleash all manner of Hell upon your mind...

:evil: I look forward to said post....
I'm already thinking of new and interesting ways of torturing people...some even making me gag...
-
I'd like to join in too...but somebody would have to post rules as to what is off limits on saying. :evil:
-
Okay...now all I have to do is let my imagination warm up. :evil:
-
Drowning in gasoline and all the fuel being coughed and choked into your lungs and stomach. Then when passed out from suffocation. Lit the gas on fire.
:evil: effective way of execution.
-
Imagination and memory are both warmed up. :-D
I heard of one somewhere where razorblades were stuck in someone's mouth until they drowned in their own blood.
-
I was talking to a friend of mine earlier and he mentioned witch-hunters...which reminded me of the following torture :evil:
Medieval German witch-hunters used to take wooden skewers covered in boiling sulfur, then slowly inserted them under the toe-nails causing extreme agony, once the nail had been loosed due to the number of skewers being inserted, the nail was torn from the nail bed.
To me this sounds pretty damn painful....
Leo
-
It is. Getting nails torn from nail beds...Though the boiling sulfur...not so sure but i assume it would be. The hands and feet are the parts of the body with the most amount of nerve endings rival only the genitals. Nails being drilled or nailed through them could send one into immediate shock. Why the crucifiction was so popular way back when. Its painful and could, and usually did, kill you.
-
I'd prefer just to use some knives and my hands. :-D
-
But what would you do with said knives and hands?
Leo
-
I would make a cut - preferably in the midsection, but I'd have to be careful to miss a few vital organs - then I would have my fun taking the internal organs out and playing with them. Of course - this wouldn't work with organs such as the heart, lungs, etc., but If you wanted to use intestines, the victim might last a little while. One has to know a good bit about anatomy to be a good torturer.

Unless of course, they die of shock first.
If I was to use torture, rather than rend and tear, I would prefer less blood, more pain. Bones are very susceptible to causing intense pain if broken correctly. If you have ever had your nose broken by a direct punch to the bridge of the nose, you will know what I mean. Crushing the bone can be the most painful of injuries, slowly preferably. At the joints is excruciating, and hearing the POP of the joints exploding can be psychologically petrifying. This is probably why the paramilitaries in Northern Ireland employed bats and hammers to kneecap malcontents, as well as the less than salubrious gunshot (from behind of course; small entry, large exit wound. Ergo, no kneecap left to repair).
-
Yes, they are very likely to die of shock, that's why you'd have to know a good bit of anatomy to torture by making cuts and toying with internal organs. It would cause extreme pain, and though sometimes brief, excruciating pain. Plus, it's more fun. <^>
-
How about some tortures the mob developed, one such used a Rat, metal bucket, and a blowtorch. You would take the victim, strap him/her to a table, put the rat on his/her exposed belly, then cover it with the bucket. Once this is done you use the blowtorch to slowly heat the bottom of the bucket, after a small bit of time the Rat will start to dig and naw at the victims flesh in an attempt to escape, this too wouldn't take long as rats are really efficient at digging and chewing. :spy:
-
I've also heard of this, and it remains one of my favourites...
Leo
-
There is also something called the brazen bull.
Which is a big metal(usually brass) sitting bull, well the victim is put inside and place over a fire and allowed to burn to death. With one holes in the bulls eyes and nose for air and vents.....yum the smell of roast human in the morning :evil:
-
Aniyu your making me drool.... :evil:

Here's a torture for you. Go to the amazon with your intended and find a nest of marching army ants. get infront of the advancing army and stake the intended to the ground. Then step back and time how long it takes the ants to stip the flesh down to the bone. No milk and honey needed, the ants like theor meals all natural.
-
I got one for ya. A bottle of honey, a bottle of lube, handcuffs and rope, a rag with choleraform on it, a pipe decent size, and one ant hill. Use your imagination people and you'll figure it out.
I also have a way to frame someone really well, with federal offenses. They go to jail for life and they get tortured for information.
-
i think the form of seduction is the best form of torture, a womans body or mans is a wonderful thing they way we use it is what makes it worth the torture or could be something so bad u never want to have sex again,
seduction can be rape, willingness, or jus teasing in which case they all suck
i love toturing ppl though <^>
-
Seduction is probably the most base form of torture. It appeals to the most basic instinct, and inflicts no lasting damage. Furthermore, it only works on those willing to subject themselves to its power. If the intended victim will not yield to the ersatz power of your seduction, then you have no power over them. To force yor sex on someone is rape, which is nothing in this context except assertion of your ersatz power over a victim to violate them in some way. Rape-as-torture is the resort of the unproffessional, weak-minded and uncreative torturer. A torturemaster will use other means which he has at his disposal to effect the greatest torment possible on a victim.
For example, instead of teasing a man with your body, lure him into downtown traffic, and enjoy the sound of his bones crumbling under the tires of a dumptruck, then look him in the eye and smile before walking away. Afterwards, find him in his hospital bed, go visit him, tease him more, and more flagrantly! Touch him, caress his body, make him beg for release - then leave!
If you are going to use something for a weapon; be skilled in its use, and be merciless in application, and be cunning in all aspects of torture.
-

Isn't rape supposed to cause permanent mental anguish to its victims, especially female ones? At least that's what the dominant social discourse insists on telling us. If that is indeed the case, then rape would be a useful tool for inflicting massive and perhaps even permanent psychological damage on the mind of an especially vulnerable individual. One should never underestimate the usefulness of rape when it is deployed as a weapon under the right conditions.
-
i think rape is something used so loosly, rape can be form the mind to touching to anything.

You know, after all the post I have read from you, I think we should change your name. Either Lilth of Little Nymph I think would suit you better, but thats just my opinion, :focus:
I was just here thinking, one form of torture not mentioned yet, but still effective. Thumb screws, these little toys are so enjoyable, Oh and mistress might go for hot candle wax ( or even boiling oil )
-
two things, a nail clipper and a heated object, like a car cigarette lighter or hot water or something.
Hour by hour you clip off a piece of extremity, rub some salt in, and cauterize it, and repeat in another hour.
you keep the victim in a dark room with one light flickering. Water dripping in the background.

well maybe i should but i am new to this so i really dont know how to do anything

Chloroform a victim, and while they're unconscious; surgically remove their gums... leaving the roots of the teeth exposed. It's very difficult to replace these tissues adequately. Also, by the time they could receive medical treatment, they'd likely already be dying an excruciating death due to massive infections and sepsis which were allowed to fester because of the removal of the gums.
Oh, and let's say they did get help... can you imagine what it would be like to have to gargle many, MANY times a day with one hundred percent alcohol... on raw flesh?
-

Now thats dark, and I like it.
In my honest opinion, if I set out to torture someone, then I'd rather not allow them to die, as torture is an extream form of punishment, and there is no time to regret what you have done if you are dead.
One great form of torture actually comes from an unlikely source, and that is The Princess Bride. Who can tell me what this torture is and why it is so terrible?
( Moloch I forbid you to answer, it's time for the young ones to put their minds to work, or if you like P.M. your answer, thats Moloch, the rest of you have to post it here, come on kids, don't let me down lol )

Did i already put in the one with the mercury thermometer, his penis and a ballpeen hamma? Use imagination.
Or how bout teh one with a clinic a set of forceps, a dental drill, a few scalpels, a hungry hyena, a ball gag a hose and a bunch of copper wires, nails and a socket?
OOH did i tell anyone about the ninja movie marathon and the internet? Bubba was soo happy. :-D

How about we just mix in some powdered Cinnabar into Raziel's salt, or maybe his red pepper. For those who don't know what Cinnabar is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnabar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnabar)
The results would be fun to watch, but Hell for the victim.

Do you really expect anything less from a being who has been obsessed with death and dying since he was very small? The ways in which a person can suffer are nearly innumerable. Hell, get yourself a bit of Nutmeg skin, looks a bit like the fibrous hull of a coconut, grind it up and sprinkle it on someone's food. They'll think they're dying in some weird, horrible way for hours.
My knowledge of such things is nearly limitless...

Wrong torture, Black.
-
I came up with a nice form of torture.
take a belt sander and sand of the victim's toes on one foot. pour some alcohol on the wound and wait for it to scab over. while waiting for it to scab over (after about a day or so) sand off the toes on the other foot.
do the same thing as the first foot. when the scabs on the first foot are fully hardened, rip the scab off and sand off an inch or so of his foot. continue this from one leg to the other, and when you get almost to the groin, start with the fingers. when you get to the shoulders, if you're torturing a man, sand off his imprtant parts (slowly), if the victim is a woman, sand off her breasts.
that's as far as I've gotten so far, I wouldn't mind someone finishing up the rest of the body for me.
-
Aidan, he'd bleed out long before you could get to the groin. And giving him thing to slow the blood loss, or cauterizing the wounds, won't work because of there being arteries and such involved.
-
Impalement on stake is one I like - favored by the Romans and Vlad Tepes himself - to punish the enemies of Faith. It takes some time for the victim to eventually die and it allows for display to the public for education purposes.

Aidan, he'd bleed out long before you could get to the groin. And giving him thing to slow the blood loss, or cauterizing the wounds, won't work because of there being arteries and such involved.
right........hmmmmm............well then you could do whatever it is that doctors do when they're amputating.

You're trying to torture a person, not give them a medical procedure. That means that unless the device is being used to inflict pain and agony on the person, it's just a medical procedure, though I can certainly understand the confusion sometimes.
Now, for a truly terror-inspiring act of torture, look up sawing-in-half. Basically, you tie the victim's feet to two poles, laid up like a vault apparatus, perpendicular to each other. This will leave the victim with their head pointing at the ground. Next you take a large saw, and you saw down their length, beginning at the groin. You continue sawing until the person is dead. The interesting thing to note is that because all of the blood rushes to the head, they don't bleed out very quickly, and because all of that blood hyper-oxegenates the brain, they don't pass out nearly as soon. This means you really will get quite far into the torso before they die, and they will be conscious right until the end.

Heres a form of torture for you all. Take your victim and stap him/her to a chair. Then collect his family and in front of him/her torture his family one by one until they die, using multiplpe tortures. Once everyone but he/she is dead, let them go, the mental anguish alone would be...........

How about that Ground up glass enema I mentioned in the other thread?

It would be effective, but my aim is to torture someone for the rest of their days. Wanting to help and being unable to is truely devistating on the majority of people.

True, but you know my idea would be too much fun to resist...

Ok Ok, we will try it on one of the family members, would that work?

I made one of those necklace-chain thingies out of those clover flowers and gave it to my bf, telling him it was my torture mechanism - designed to attract the bees to come and sting him. He argued with me about its effectiveness, but he wouldn't put it on, lol. Point proven. :-D I guess that's what happens when I get bored. *<:)
-
Alayla, you have just proven that torture needs no gruesome, macabre, or gory mechanisms to be effective. Brava!
-
True, mental torture, even with someone you love is the highest form. Causing someone to distrust the norm, oh how evil indeed.

I've got a cheap and at least somewhat effective method of torture. Put some soap in a sock and just knock the holy hell out of somebody. That's really only a weapon, not so much a complex torture device, but hey, it hurts.
Ah, thats not a weapon, it's a learning tool, one employed upon those who have the inability to learn even the basic lessons in basic training. Of course some people have a tendency to replace the bar soap with bottles of liquid soap, and those tend to get turned upon by the guys with soap in a sock because now theres a mess they have to clean up. We military bastards are just a pack of rabid dogs aint we?

Okay, Muerte, what about just screaming and picking up random items to throw at people's heads?
When my kids do it I call it a temper tantrum, when my wife does it I call it justified *<:) .

Skinning someone alive-with a home-made sandstorm.
Some good restraints , couple pounds of sand (or salt to be really nasty) and a really powerfull fan to blast them with

Guys , mental torture is the best just psycologically messing ppl up is graet esp if they are bound/ blindfolded

some very beautiful forms of torture indeed, and yes the idea of torture is to create physical or mental anguish for a extended period of time while prolonging the period between pain and death. becasue after all, by letting them die, you are basically giving them their freedom. are you not?
my favourite form of torture would be for the right people who would deserve it the most...
have a large glass container inside a room with no windows and only a couple of lights. fill up the large glass container (about the size of a small room) full of a saline solution. then place the lucky victim inside the container hooked up to a set of shackles and a oxygen tube. place one iv drip into a arm that would administer the life nutritients needed to sustain life to the lucky victim. then proceed to lift up a sign saying (you are stuck here for the rest of your life) making sure they can read it before walking out of the room remembering to turn off the light. come back in 10 years and i am sure their mental anguish would be starting to spiral out of control.............give it another 20 years................
