Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] You have been kidnapped. Your kidnappers are demanding so little ransom that you feel insulted, but not as insulted as you feel when your family still starts to haggle with your kidnappers. by Kitty_Fuchs
Julius Caesar was in a similar predicament once. He demanded a much higher ransom to be asked, or he would get them all crucified. In the meanwhile he spend a comparably comfortable time with them and much camaraderie was shared.
The ransom was raised, the ransom was paid after some time, Caesar got released, Caesar organised an army and had every single pirate crucified.
