When we vote them off, do we get to sacrifice them to the volcano god?

It could change things. We could torture the voted-off by removing their eyes over a pool of molten lava or we could cut their throats and eat them with a straw until they die and then eat them with meat balls and spaghetti.

I would vote for... erm... the... same person as before.
