Reply to comment by ryry1237 in [WP] Humanity has finally reached a population of 10B. What should have only been mildly interesting became top news when the clouds world round said, "Data limit reached, please upgrade membership to continue growing your civilization." The population has been unable to grow since. by AurumArgenteus

I’m surprised the shit that went down in WWII didn’t get us out of debt and have a nice carrying balance.

I like the concept of this story, but damn is it grim.

Sounds like you have to arrange it for them to do the killing.

I'm guessing the sacrifice is literal and not satisfied by just death

I imagine the kill would have to be done with the specific intention of it being an offering otherwise it wouldn't count.

Yep - that was my intention. Theoretically killing in the name of war is a sacrifice to a different being, deity, company…what have you. It was the purposeful set up at the end which earmarked those deaths for GloboCorp that allows those deaths to satisfy the payment.

I was thinking more along about the influence the Thule Society had on what happened in the Holocaust.

And Stalin too. Where on earth were his kills?
