Denzel really shined on this RP and I'm glad that it's inspired such great art. Some of the other moments that really stuck with me was when Ricky called in the favor Curtis owed him for shooting him down last year. I'm so glad that was not forgotten about and it was so poetic. Also, Curtis telling Denzel afterwards that he would help him kill other people but not himself. Even days later, the RP that followed with Ellie coaching Buddha to apologize to Denzel was great and hilarious to watch.
I'll miss Ricky but maybe this is just going to be a long hiatus and not a perma.

Every player I've seen seems to have regrets and hesitations about their characters' deaths, and I know Penta was no exception to that. From his perspective, it wasn't the ending he had in mind for Ricky.
But after seeing what Jon did with it, I think he and the audience will look back at Ricky's death as one of the most fitting and narratively satisfying deaths on the server.

Why was it dumb?
A lot of people thought it was a bit random how badly they wanted to kill him considering they have quite a lot of history together, Ricky hadn't been in town for months, didn't know any relevant information about LB operations, and offered to leave of his own volition. But the OG Leanbois wouldn't hear it and decided to kill him anyway to tie up loose ends.
I can see both sides. Ricky was a menace and caused a lot of issues for the LBs, but I also agree that it went from 0 to 100 very fast when it came to torture-killing him in a slaughterhouse. When Ricky asked why they were doing it he couldn't get a straight answer, which didn't really help with the feeling of it being a bit random.
Still, Denzel turned the situation around in a stellar way, and anyone who's salty after that amazing evening needs to chill out and realize that RP is improv at it's core. It flows and ebbs and you can't always get what you want, but what you do end up getting could be even better.
I mean I've been watching buddha from the boom so there's my bias. Over the past months he has been constantly articulating how bad Ricky was for him and LB and how the only way out for him is to die. It got to torture after Ricky started the QF conflict and again disappeared.
And I think the reasoning behind it is pretty solid. Ricky's fate could've changed imo if penta played him a couple times a week in the past 2-3 months and showed some dedication to the group or that at least he cared about their people. Maybe that's not the character, fine, understandable, nobody's asking him to RP Ricky unnaturally. But if you want the character's story to go a certain way, you gotta play him. Penta's one reason to come back to Ricky was Jordan Steele getting OOC fired from PD. Literally the only reason he came back to Ricky.
When Lang told him to fuck off when that happened (he had his IC reasoning), Penta made Clout Chaser and entirely gave up on Ricky until last week. Sure it felt rushed that they wanted to torture and kill him, for them a literal IC reason to get it done asap was that they weren't sure when Ricky was gonna show his face again.
Look, I already assumed that I may biased, but Buddha's reasoning over the past months whenever Ricky was brought up was solid, and it was fueled by Penta not doing anything else with the character.
One last thing: this was the first LB to be killed/kicked out. They've never done anything like this before within their group, and they've been saying for years that the only way out of the family is "with a bullet". They were to discuss how to proceed in killing him together for sure at the slaughterhouse, but RP took over and Denzel shot Ricky catching most of them off-guard.
Nothing was "really dumb" in that situation imo.

What? LB has never been about creating terror acts on the server, it is part of their MO, but not the reason they are LB. I ain't gonna explain to you how their group works, maybe watch some of the people that actually founded the group to know what it's about.
