Number of possible outcomes here: 1) Gadaffi is a massive Harry Potter fan. Also an avid chess player. Below the compound is a massive chess board, in which the rebels are given buckets of water and must make up the white pieces, where the black pieces are robots with knives. They must win the game, sacrificing their companions, to proceed to the next chamber where Gadaffi is actually a rug with his face on. The rug we saw having the poo poo beaten out of it was a decoy. 2) One plucky rebel has to engage him in a sword fight. Except Gadaffi can fly, and shoot energy balls. After destroying him, he activates a self-destruction mechanism and the rebel has a limited amount of time to follow political prisoners out of the compound before they get blown up, whilst stabbing brainwashed Gadaffi goons on the way out. They get out in the nick of time and the place explodes. Gadaffi turns into Godzilla, NATO shoots him in the eyes with machine guns and then fires Hellfires into his mouth. He dies, world carries on. 3) They find a room with Gadaffi's corpse in it. A rebel picks up a note on his body which reads, "We are all Gadaffi". He turns around and sure enough, his comrades all have the face of Gadaffi. He looks in a shattered mirror in the room. He does not see himself, only the wall behind him.

Furious Mittens posted:Something big is on fire in the middle of the Tripoli live shot on Al-J. Earlier, there were two fires on either side of the frame, now there is just one massive black plume in the middle, behind the taller buildings in the middle. Anyone know where that shot might be relative to major action that we know of? It's the rug.

Fog Tripper posted:Are those journalists disallowed from leaving the building? Not that I wish them harm, but I thought the whole war correspondant thing required you kind of go out and document stuff that is happening. (Like AJ seems to do) GQ's goons aren't letting them outside. The reason why other journalists are out there is because presumably they were never in the Rixos in the first place.

"By the time you hear this, I will have shot myself. In March, as it happens. Y'all got trolled. Also, Hugo Chavez has a tiny dick and likes boys. That's what you get when you don't pay up after being wiped in poker." Apart from it not working in Linux, I've never had a problem with Silverlight. I must be one of a few.

dr_rat posted:wouldn't running by plane, from an international airport, in a city surrounded by hostile forces, in a country which has had a no fly zone in place for quite a few months now, be pretty much the stupidest thing he could do? I'm fully expecting Gaddafi to try and commandeer a MiG. Which he doesn't know how to fly. edit: In the unlikely event he knows he's hosed, if I were him, I would try and get myself killed in the strangest way possible, with evidence of death at least a little dubious, as to create a whole bunch of conspiracy theories and laugh at the world from the afterlife as the world trips over itself trying to explain/deny whatever the gently caress happens.

Golbez posted:Why is the hashtag #rixos4 being used? For while I thought that meant only four journos were in the hotel. I believe it might be that they are the only ones on, or having a prolific presence on, Twitter. I haven't bothered to check if the other journalists there are on Twitter though.

According to Wikipedia, the AK47 has a rate of fire of about 600 rounds per minute (which seems a little high). Nonetheless, you're one of about 40 people in a group being guarded by 2 brainwashed goons who have fully automatic rifles, and you have little idea of what their intentions are. 5-star hotel and MacBook or not, it doesn't sound a fantastic position to be in. I don't think one would be so quick to trivialise the situation would one be in it.
