The Hotseat

I was going to say that this is for the WAM fans, but if you're watching me, chances are you're one anyway... after complaining about the American method of sliming people after the KCA, I'd like to present a classic British way - the Hotseat.

That was a fairly typical 'gunge the teacher' section from a magazine show called Hangar 17, but what set it out is the tank itself - it's absolutely vicious, spraying from all sides instead of just from above, and with a massive tip-tank at the end just to finish things off. Naturally it was a major influence on the game with the same name in Industrial Zone, though that worked slightly differently because I couldn't remember the details of it when I first wrote it. It's also got exactly the right grimy, foreboding look that I would imagine the IZ set to have.
Of course, there are a couple of drawbacks - the first is the weird demented music that they use instead of the traditional siren noise, which doesn't fit with the appearance of it at all. And the second is something you'll have already noticed - it's that the victims of this thing were almost exclusively approaching-middle-aged men rather than the young and gorgeous furry girls that I'm used to writing with. Which is a bit of a contrast.
But if we could do this to teachers like Max Blackrabbit's, that would be different entirely...

And thanks for replying, I was beginning to think people thought this a bit weird :P
