bottom line, in america, we have a saying; up to your butt in alligators. You've created yourself a no-win situation, and to be totally honest, I am not entirely sure that a site like TSG should even be discussing subject matter such as this; you've put yourself in a very tenuous situation as far as local authorities go, and obviously your friends were chosen with enough esteem that you are afraid that they would turn on you, which of course leads one to ponder how good of friends they are.
You've been asked several times if this is a game or not, and have not given a straight answer that I've seen.
Personally, I think this is just a hoax and you are having fun judging people on their response. If it is real, then you are screwed. Either way, I don't think that TSG should be held liable for offering advice in matters of this nature.
But that's just MY skewed conscience.
