"Bust a deal, face the wheel" was one of Aunty Entity's rituals that she enforces in Bartertown. If someone doesn't honour a deal, they are subject to answering for their disobedience.
Details
This ritual puts punishment at the hands of chance - much like a wheel-of-fortune as it is equipped with an arrow that will eventually stop at a number of punishments:
- Death
- Hard Labour
- Acquittal
- Gulag
- Aunty's Choice
- Spin Again
- Forfeit Goods
- Underworld
- Amputation
- Life Imprisonment.
Max's fate
Max ends up landing on Gulag when he disobeys Aunty. He is exiled from Bartertown upon the back of a horse, which is goaded into continuous travel through the incentive of a bottle of water dangling from its head.
Trivia
- Gulag (Russian: ГУЛАГ, IPA: [ɡʊˈlak]) was the government agency that administered the main Soviet forced labor camp systems during the Stalin era, from the 1930s until the 1950s.
