    That just gives Mobius a perverse incentive to create one.

                perhaps it is the capital of south carolina?

                though the mourning multiplier (i almost typed "morning" in protest of unnecessary u's) would be high for white victims

                x10 if blonde hair
                x20 if blue eyes
                x100 if named "Hailey", "Taylor" or "Payton"

                  with a factor of 50, more likely to be for First Nations in Canada.

                      Taylor and Payton are gender neutral enough

                      but throw in... i dunno, Preston and Bradley?

                        If we assume that the goal of remembering atrocities is to never repeat them then we would only need to remember the first one. (most atrocities are virtually identical in their core.)

                        If the goal of remembering is not to forget to kill at least as many as the "others" killed that one time then we should remember as many as possible.

                            I guess the first atrocity would symbolically be Cain killing Abel (or more likely Thog killing Ugg)

                            "Thog and Ugg? You're racist against cavemen." Oh yeah? Well calling them cavemen is racist against the paleolithic people who didn't live in caves, so **** you!!!

                              Speaking of paleolithic racism, why were't there any black characters on The Flintstones??? "Well we wouldn't really expect a lot of paleolithic communities to have mixed ethnicities given the difficulty of travel..." Nope, racism!!!

                              Also, the Flintstones didn't really live in caves, they lived in houses made out of solid rock - it's like they found a big ass mountain and chiseled away 99.9% of it and wound up with a bunch of rock homes.

                              Also, they used animals as appliances.
