Thanks.
One of the challenges in writing this story was trying to write this from an in-universe point of view (meaning little or no fourth wall breaking except one or two for the purposes of comedy). In order to address one of the most serious grievances people have with the Squeal of Fortune, I needed to find some way of doing so without using terms like 'the real world' or 'real world money'. I think I managed to work around that nicely.
As for the method, I have the above commenter to thank for coming up with it and for granting me permission to use it. It appealed to me because it made sense, given the cartoonish slapstick Yelps endures on a daily basis, that he'd be tough to kill. The MPMPDD seemed to provide an appropriate over-the-top variation of a Rasputin death for him. (Rasputin, of course, being that famous Russian historical figure who's probably most famous for being very hard for his enemies to kill).
The narrator in the story is pretty much doing what I think I would do in that situation. Other players might have handled the situation the same way, or they may have handled it differently.
On a lighter note, I'd gladly wear a 'No Yelps' T-Shirt as they are described at the end of Chapter 10. Now THAT shirt sends the right message.
