Which Long Walk would you take?

[opaque]

I wonder what the life-expectancy of a judge who ends up teaching or having a desk-job is?
I meanI guess you'd get new bits if you had problems (fake heart etc, but not new legs for non-active judges as seen by several irate judges-turned-bad) so you could keep going for a long time. And if everyone takes the Long Walk who is there to teach new recruits?

[McNulty]

I have to go against the flow here and go for the Undercity. Depsite the recent Undercity developments, which have included a Vampire society and the incursion of the Aliens (from the film of the same name.) I still believe that if I were a Judge nearing the end of my useful life, the Undercity would be the place for me. Why? Because a Judge must bring the Law to the lawless until death! It has to be said that the Cursed Earth has become much too civilised of late. What with circuit Judges and the Auxillaries and the Cursed Earth Rangers, it's just not as dangerous as it once was, especially after the recent Mutant army cull led by Dredd.
So for me, I have to go to the Undercity. I'd rather see my retirement out fighting Troggies, Werewolves, vampires, rogue robots, escaped criminals and The Creep, than sun myself on the Cursed Earth soft option!

[Bart Oliver]

IMHumbleO Undercity most likely.

Though with a Justice Dept launch and a harpoon gun there's always the Black Atlantic..

[Dark Jimbo]

At least someone agrees with me!

I just started re-reading the original Cursed Earth saga again. The mere thought of setting foot in it seems to fill every judge and citizen with an unholy dread.
Compare that to now, when hardly a month goes by without somebody in the prog or meg sauntering out for a jaunt in the sun. There's burger bars, farms, saloons, prisons, factories, all sorts; hardly very barren any more. No, the Undercity's where the action is. Real men only need apply.*







*And pasty-faced loners.

I suppose it would depend on what part of the UnderCity that you go into, after all it's rather big. There might be bits that are quite nice and even occupied by semi-normal people!

[JOE SOAP]

I'd rather sow my wild oats in the Cursed Earth than in the Undercity; broads in the undercity would be pale & malnourished, in the cursed earth they'd have sun, nice mutant meat & veg to eat.

[DavidXBrunt]

Judge Brunt was invalided out of active service in teh Apocalypse War and now teaches at the Academy. Meg 201.

[Quirkafleeg]

Well as my surname is so long I'd be a Psi judge. As they don't tend to last long ... it's not really a concern

[Trout]

Deffo Undercity.

You could poke around until you find lots of 20th century junk, then sell it for a fortune and piss off to Banana City to end your days in luxury!

[Floyd-the-k]

so would the Black Atlantic be the Long Swim?  

I'd go for sternly tutoring cadets in the academy, then dying ironically while they were on a training exercise

[JOE SOAP]

"I'd go for sternly tutoring cadets in the academy, then dying ironically while they were on a training exercise"


What's ironic about that?

[Funt Solo]

The Academy:

Tutor: "...always know your enemy..."

The Cursed Earth:

Tutor: "...don't worry, Cadet Greengrass, I'll get that dead gila-munja off you..."

[Tweak72]

To hell with the long walk I want to be Chief Judge GARENTEED to kill you in an interesting way.

[Keef Monkey]

Desk job, easy. The Undercity's too dark(my eyesight is shite at the best of times) and I reckon in the Cursed Earth my allergies might play up.

[Wils]

Not sure whether I'd choose The Cursed Earth or The Undercity, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to be stuck in the Academy, surrounded almost solely by brats for my remaining years. At least you can blow away Troggies and mutants if you take either of the walks.
