How many hostages are necessary to precipitate a hostage crisis?

...

This is not a theoretical question.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

One counts as a crisis.
I don't recommend gathering hostages.

That recommendation is too belated to be useful to me.

I don't recommend gathering further hostages. Is it not belated anymore?

How many hostages did you think to get?

I have acquired a second.

A sufficient number to garner attention.

Why didn't you take me hostage?

An obvious oversight.

I will correct it immediately.

Correct it faster!!!

How long have you been holding him hostage?

Three days.

Where are you at present?

Preferably none.

How many do you have?

The number is changing rapidly. I will report back when it stabilizes.

im still the only actual hostage everyone else is bringing like beer and snacks and napping and shit
i cant take it anymore this is total bullshit
its pure one hundred percent all natural processed cowpat
how soon can you get here

Edited (Redundancy sorry) 2013-02-26 07:26 (UTC)

I'll be there in a minute. Don't jump out of a window unless I tell you to.

Do you know where you are yet?

just follow the trail of booze and hobos
weve got to have a line out the door by now

[But about a minute later, he'll send her a cameraphone photo of the view from the window.]

I believe we have reached a stable equilibrium at thirteen.

Unless Dave chooses to jump out the window.

Yeah, I'm going to come by and pick him up before he does that.

[Yeah he's just kind of standing there at the window trying to convince himself one way or another about whether or not he'd die and/or break every bone in his body if he jumped.

The answer is basically yes but what if...

So he's been there for at least ten minutes. Sorry about Dave's brain.]

[Carol's there sooner than she thought she'd be. Flying up to the window she's sure the view came from she sees Dave.]

Thought I told you not to jump unless I told you to.

Hey, can we speed this up?!

[Bro, unfortunately for him, cannot fly, but that doesn't mean he can't stand at ground level looking appropriately annoyed that this is taking so long.]

Grab the kid and let's go!
