What I propose is actually quite simple. You see, separately, we are little more than selfish individuals incapable of really doing much. Together, however, we could be a powerful team of empowering teammates.
How exactly can we do that? I'm glad you asked. So far as we know, only one of us is going to get pardoned. But we also know that we are about to be joined by other incoming prisoners. Seeing as we have been here the longest, why should we allow any of them to steal that pardon away from us?
You see, we should stick together as long as possible, the eleven of us. So far we have done a pretty frickin' good job of accomplishing the task at hand and I think we may just work well together in future random tasks. Why let the new blood swoop in and stand on our shoulders, usurping the progress we have made, only to steal the pardon away from us? I can see it now, one of them standing there, outside the prison walls, taunting us with 'I got your pardon! I got your pardon!'
So you see, what I am proposing is that we shank any newcomers before shanking any of us "old timers." Of course, I feel that shanking one of us would be acceptable if they intentionally or neglectfully cause us to fail at one of our random tasks. I'm perfectly prepared to go that route if necessary. I'm one crazy mo-fo. I had to pop a cop cause he wasn't giving me my props in Oaktown. No? I've heard that somewhere.
Once the pardon is up for grabs, things will understandbly descend into an everyone-for-him-or-herself free-for-all, at which point I wish you all the best of luck. You see, as a bald, pasty, washed-up supervillain with an unmistakably large scar on my face, I realize thay my chances of beating any of you are tiny.
I will do my best to make sure that whoever gets pardoned is one of the eleven of us, and most likely one of the ten of you. On top of it all, the pardon is almost certainly to take the non-incarcerated by complete surprise. Who would think such a turn of events is even probable?
That is why I am calling this plan Operation Improbably Victorious You, or as I like to call it for short, Operation IVY. If it can't be all eleven of us then it might as well be one of us.
What do you say, dawgs? Do we have a deal?
PS- Shazam, y'all! *puts pinkie to his mouth and smirks*
