What would you do?

Jiub · What would you do?

In this game, someone presents a situation, and you tell how you would respond to the situation. Here are 2 examples.

You are a Jedi (or Sith if you prefer) that was abandoned by his comrades on a remote, desert world. Then, some Sith (or Jedi if you prefer the Sith) come down and offer you a ride off world. What do you do?

The next person then tells how they would respond. Fight them, join them, say leaved me to die, play along until they get off world, or whatever other ideas you might have.

My personal answer would be to tell them that I would go along with them off world but never join them even if I was abandoned by my friends. If they didn't like that, I would consider trying to fight them if there were only a few. If I was greatly outnumbered, I would just tell them to go away and only fight if they tried to kidnap me.

It doesn't have to be a star wars question, here is another one.

The world has fallen into anarchy and people are killing each other everywhere. You, however, have obtained a large portion of arable land that could be farmed and a fence around it all, a security force to protect you, and you are in charge of it all. There are a lot of people who want to come in from the chaos and they will work for you. What do you do? Do you allow all non-violent people in and give them as much food and water as they want? Do you give them just enough food water to survive if they work but no more and keep any luxuries to yourself? How would you run it?

I would like to add that this is not the "or" game. Don't ask "this" or "that". Ask how someone would respond to a certain situation, preferably one in which they have more than 2 possible choices. Also, you may respond to your own question, you may even respond to questions that other people have already answered if you have a different idea (but take into consideration that people may not read all your answers if you answer like 20 questions in one post, please be considerate), but the only one that is necessary is if the person above you asked a question, you must respond to their question. It is not necessary to put up a new question, but it is encouraged. Other than that, just don't break site rules with your questions or answers.

The paragraph that I have highlighted blue is the first question. The next person to post must answer that question. You may also answer the question about Jedi and Sith, but it isn't necessary. As I said, it is encouraged to add a question of your own, but not necessary.

RainaRose

Hee Thats a long question.

Adenn

I would slowly let the people in by their attititude and how much they need it. The food they get will be consisted of white with chicken, and a glass of water. They will be sleeping on a small bed, enough to keep them healthy. To be fair, I will sleep in a medium sized bed and will have the same meal to save money. Everyone working will be treated equal, and if there are too much on the land, I will pay them a decent amount of money to a group of people to buy a house, weapons, and a safe place to go. Those who have a sour attitude and already have the money to make a living will be shunned outside, and those who try to force themselves in will be killed without warning.

Yep, basically how mine would go.

A tapping on your window is heard. You wake up with a startle, and decide to ignore it. The tapping grows impatient and it gets louder, soon coming to a pounding. Your heart is beating fast, and you clutch your revolver that you have in your drawer. It finally stops, and footsteps can be heard. What do you do?

Crozeus

Fire blindly into the air, screaming "Allah, take me now!"

Or find out who it is first.

You're walking home late one night, and someone attacks you. You overpower them, and take the knife they were using. What do you do with it? I would kill them.

Adenn

I'd stab them in the knee caps, and then cut their fingers off during a struggle. Have fun running and killing someone with that.

You're a popular kid at school, and you love football and chess. You decide to join both the Chess Club and the Football Team, but there's an ongoing argument between the two. The football team is urging you to draw out of the Chess Club, but the Chess Club members are urging you to stay in it and quit football.. What do you do?

Rive Caedo

Check the locks, possibly call to request a police squad car drive by (usually enough to scare off anyone of ill repute if it was so), and maybe - despite my mind telling me it was probably just some kids messing around or even a cat - have a sleepless night for whatever remains of it.

The year is 2012. The stock market has completely crashed. Werewolf Congress. Every car in America turns out to be a Decepticon. Soybeans are the national currency. What do you do?

((Link))

Crozeus

Take over.

Nuclear fallout. You manage to survive. Where do you go?

Lord Invictus

Outside. To kill the zombies.

You failed a test that did absolutely nothing to your actual grade/life. What do you do? (stolen from Rive: also, don't forget, all cars are Deceptacons)

Adenn

I rip the test and drive away in my Decepticon Tank, blowing up the people who made the test and go for world domination by going Hitler and allying with USA to take over and Iraq and soon Japan and soon Antartica and soon 1/4 of the whole world and employ dictatorship onto those who resist my iron fist of crush.

A guy stole your cell phone and ran away with it. His friends attempt to hold you back and beat you up, but you break free. What will you do?

Rive Caedo

Run like hell and don't look back. There are things worth fighting for - but a $150 cell phone that I can deactivate remotely and replace for free isn't one of them Laughing

A guy stole your wallet and ran away with it. His friends attempt to hold you back and beat you up, but you break free. What will you do?

Scion

Pickpockets don't like Scion when he is angry...

6089 BC. Grogo just stole your cave and your not insured. Your sabertooth tiger Meeko is ready to eat you because you 2 haven't eaten in days. You wife/husband Dudunga/Frank just left you for Grogo.

What do you do?

Adenn

Embrace death as my guts and entrails fly out of my body and blood drips onto the earth.

You've recieved a lightsaber in the mail. WHAT DO YOU DO?

Lord Invictus

Kill everyone.

Adenn

Excellent choice!

Dakoth

Journey to Australia in the small hamlet where Xander makes his grassland home. Join the local Jedi Temple and become the Chosen One. I bet I'd get all the ladies.

You wake up after a stint in a time machine- alternate future!

Canada won WWI, the Iron Maple Leaf has descended on all of Eurasia, only the proud people of Iceland stand in opposition. Well, them, and of course the Atlantians. They're from atlanta, not atlantis of course. What do you do?

Rive Caedo

Begin acquainting myself with 90 years of alternate history and entertainment.

Was George Lucas still born? Did he still create "Star Wars"?

Then probably hop back in the time machine (if possible?) and try to get back to my normal reality (or something better I suppose Razz

), ala Homer Simpson and his malfunctioning toaster.

You wake up to find yourself loosely holding a bloody baseball bat, a photograph of Richard Nixon, and 12 shreds of paper each having a single word printed on them: "Orthogonal". There is a cell phone in your pocket ringing. What do you do?

Adenn

Answer the phone. If it's some deep, creepy breathing or random gibberish I'll hang up, stuff the paper in my pockets, and walk out the door. If anything strange happens, well, I have a bloody baseball bat for a reason.

You're playing basketball at a local court in West Philadelphia, when a group of kids pick a fight with you. You accept, and lose it with bruises. You tell your mother about it, and she, out of fear, sends you to live with your Aunt and Uncle in Los Angeles. A cab is approaching, and your life is about to be flipped upside down. WHAT DO YOU DO?

Butler_Swan

Call in my SWCC crew and have them blow the blazes out of the cab! Or if no water nearby, call in air support from a C-130 "Spooky" gunship.

Nah, but realistically, RUN AND SCREAM LIKE HELL until I find an easily defensible place and something I can whack people with. Preferably a 5 foot, 1 inch diameter, solid metal stick. And then fight for my life and run when I can, and when I can't run, go down with all guns blazing (well, twirling a stick).

You find out that that the world will implode in 7 days. Assume you have infinite money and resources, but no way to get off of the planet or avoid death. What would you do?

Rive Caedo

Jerk answer: "Well I may not have a way to get off the planet now. But with infinite money and resources... I can build one!"

Real answer derived from jerk one: "Spent the resources getting other people off the planet."

Real answer assuming I can't save anyone at all: "Bribe my way into receiving 5 minutes of a broadcast time on as many news stations as possible around the world. Use that time to warn everyone that the end is, like, seriously coming: for real, yo?"

EDIT: Gah, forgot to add a new one.

You've been imbued with the power of a "life retry". Meaning, that if you are killed, you will simply wake up at the beginning of the day that you died and get to do it over again.

Unfortunately, this power will only work once and it will only last for the next 48 hours (you'll lose it if you don't die before then).

As always: What do you do?

Butler_Swan

Volunteer for a suicide mission. No fear of death! And if you get maimed just tell the doctors to kill ya or something lol.

Hmm...a new scenario:

You are granted 3 super powers. What 3 do you pick?

Conditions: Needs to be specific, not just "I pick Awesomeness cause I'm Awesome". You are mortal and can be killed.

(i.e. if you said you wanted wings, you would also need superhuman strength before you could fly)

Rive Caedo

Mental manipulation (AKA: Super-duper Jedi Mind Trick)
Genesis (Ability to create and shape matter from nothing)
Variable damage resistance (Ability to reduce the amount of damage/pain you receive from "human" to "none" based on your whim)

Flight is nice. But genesis is literally the power of the gods. You could whip yourself up an extremely nice jetpack - which is nearly as good Smile

The other two are utilitarian concerns giving you the option to be a superhero without any risk - which, of course, carries the risk of turning you into a villain Shocked

Although, as that one Bruce Willis movie showed, I'd still be vulnerable to suffocation (keeping with your condition of being able to be killed).

You internet connection suddenly seems to be running at miraculous speeds. You're downloading HD movies in mere seconds.

What do you do?

Lord Vexen

Xander Vos

Rive Caedo

Star Wars: Glory to the Empire!

Similar to "Allegiance" and likely the upcoming Imperial Commando books, showing the "other side" that we don't normally see. Except this time, instead of showing people that come to hate the Empire or outright rebel against it after being inside... just showing people resigning themselves to it. Realizing there's no hope to fight something so powerful - and becoming loyal Imperial citizens.

So rather depressing. Similar in tone to 1984.

Set probably halfway between III and IV - in the height of the Empire's power.

The sun has been stolen by an alien race who need its power to survive. They have warned Earth that they were doing this as a "courtesy". You have approximately 8 minutes before the world's natural light ends and approximately 14 hours before it becomes too cold to live naturally on the surface.

What do you do?

Butler_Swan

Start digging towards the core? lol. Um...perhaps try to work out a compromise in which they surivive and we get to survive as well. Not sure how tha'd happen though considering we probably don't even speak the same langauge...

You have been concivted of a crime that you did not do. Your sentence is the death penalty. No one aside from a few close friends with you at the time of the crime know/believe that you are not guilty. They are willing to help you escape, but there is a high chance that all will be caught. What do you do?

dun dun dun! Tune in next time to find out what happens!

Rive Caedo

Frak that! Death row is a long wait. AND I have friends on the outside willing to help? It'll probably take years (or even decades) - but keep appealing and try to get used to prison jumpsuits Confused

But...

You have just escaped from prison successfully. If you are caught, you will be put back on death row. The police and FBI are hot on your trail.

What do you do?

Butler_Swan

Well, if I'm already escaped, no sense in turning myself in, that'd just make things worse for myself. Run like hell and move to Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, or some place that doesn't really like the U.S. lol. And watch out for CIA/snipers they might send after you, though I doubt it'd be that important to them to use that much resources.

You're running through mountainous land trying to escape from authorities who are getting close to capturing you. They are on horseback or on foot w/ dogs chasing after you. You stumble across a clearing that is a mini-airfield w/ a Van's RV-4, and a old Huey helocopter. Both are full of gas, you are at an elevation of 19,000 feet. Which do you take?

Rive Caedo

Gah. I'm sure this must be some sort of trick question that has to do with air pressure at elevations? I'm not sure of which one is the trick though...

It doesn't really matter though. I'd take the RV-4. Helicopters are basically impossible to fly without training and I don't have any Very Happy

You're forced to enter a duel with a trained swordsman. He has a sharp rapier. You're given the option of your own rapier or a large (but light) shield that covers approximately from your neck to your knee when you hold it up.

The duel ends either when you win (by disarming him) - or after 3 minutes without either opponent being disarmed or killed.

What do you do?

Jiub

I'd take my own rapier. At least then I'd be able to go down fighting. Or maybe I would take the shield if I were in a very large area. Then I could just throw the shield at him to slow him down for a few seconds giving me a nice head start to take off running.

You are the pilot of a plane with about 20 people in it. The plane develops a fuel leak and you are still a very long distance from the nearest runway. The nearest runway might be reached (there is about a 50-50 chance) depending on winds and other factors. The problem is, the airfield is surrounded by a heavily populated residential area and if you don't make it you will crash into an area where people are living and there will be a lot of casualties on the ground. What do you do?

Butler_Swan

Jiub

I don't think that the clone troopers had a lot of choice in the matter, they were kind of programmed to do their job, weren't they? If I wasn't, I would not kill the Jedi and just try my best to escape.

You are stuck on a ship and it will be over a couple of weeks until you get to land. There is enough water to live, but there is only your pet (dog, cat, bird, etc., just pick an animal you would like if you don't have a pet.), a pile of human bodies in a large freezer (they got locked in there), and a kitchen with no food in it besides you. What do you do for food?

Rive Caedo

Unless you're drastically underweight, you can survive for 3-4 weeks without food. Well longer the "couple of weeks" that the trip is going to take.

It is possible I'd go mad from the starvation after a week or two and I'd want to eat the bodies. But at that point my strength and concentration have diminished to such a degree that I'm not sure I'd be able to move one of the bodies to cook anyway. And the pet would already be wasting away at the same rate as myself.

So I'd just try to sleep as much as I could (to consume less energy). And hope that someone would save me once the ship hit land.

Another possibility is trying to form a makeshift fishing pole and catch something over the side of the ship.

-----------------------------

You discover that you have the superhuman abillity to... change your eye color.

This seems rather useless to you - but still neat. Do you show it off, or keep it a secret fearing that someone would try to kidnap you for experimentation?

Jiub

I would definitely show it off to my friends. I wouldn't hide it, but unless people found out about it, I wouldn't try and get the fact that I can do it publicized too much.

Your friend sold you into slavery a few years ago, but then you escaped. When you escaped, you wrote a book about your situation and became extremely rich. Then, one day you find out where your "friend" is. You have a guard at your disposal that could go kidnap this person and bring him to you and cover their tracks very well. What do you do?

Xander Vos

I track him down and thank him - he's made me a lot of money. Wink

Then I'd probably kill him. Razz

You're walking home one day on your own, and you find a little metal rod sticking out of a bush. You pick it up and realise it's probably a toy lightsaber, but when you activate it, a real lightsaber blade comes out. Upon activating it, you suddenly feel a connection to the Force. You could enslave the world to do your bidding, or do anything else you wanted. What do you do with it?

Rive Caedo

We already had "you find a lightsaber" - but I suppose this is different: "you're suddenly a Jedi."

Fun answer: The very first thing I'd do is find some extremely solid rock wall and carve a little cave into it. It's just something I always thought would be neat to do if you had something that could cut into basically anything like a hot knife through butter.

After that: I'm not sure. If the connection to The Force was strong enough to have a prequel level Jedi combat effectiveness - I might be tempted to become a Jedi version of Batman. Running around cities at night - using The Force to "feel out" trouble and then solving it.

Less fun, more realistic answer: I'd probably go into a deep depression if I wasn't able to close down the connection at least for brief periods of time.

You'd be forced to hide your secret from those you love (I'm thinking specifically of romantic love, but it applies to other relationships too) I believe. Why? Because I think it'd be incredibly difficult for someone to be in a relationship with you if they knew that you could always tell when they were unhappy, lying, or well... any emotion - but they couldn't do the same to you. You'd end up with a "one-sided" relationship doomed to failure or, at least, distrust.

I don't think I could handle that.

Then again, I suppose if you were with someone that thought it was really neat that you could read their mind - everything would be fine Laughing

----------------------------------------------

Your computer begins displaying mysterious messages to you. You, rationally, figure that someone has managed to hack into you. So you, rationally, disconnect your ethernet cable.
The messages continue displaying. Standard creepy stuff like "Help me" and "I'm trapped."
Hesitantly, you type a reply in a text window "Hello?"
The message responds a moment later "Thank goodness you can hear me!"
Do you keep going or shut down the computer (or something else?)

Xander Vos

I'd keep going purely because of the extraordinary nature of the event.

[Sorry didn't know we'd already had that]

Your city has been under a huge crime wave for the last few years, but recently a masked vigilante has come on the scene in a Batman-like role to help fight crime. You notice that your father is generally out late, and sometimes comes home covered in bruises. Finally you sneak into his room and find the vigilante's costume. What do you do? Do you confront him? Do you try and join him?

Talen D'aar

I'd confront him, ask him why he feels compelled to do this every night and after a long conversation with him ask him to train me so I can help too. Robin wasn't the coolest sidekick around, but hey, he grew up to be Nightwing and that dude looks awesome.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking home from school, work, etc. one hot and sweaty day you mysteriously black out. You wake up to find that you're in an alternate timeline where everything is opposite, Nazis won WW2 and now rule the world, we never had video games, you actually have a hott Nazi girlfriend. There have been rumors circulating that there are various resistance coalitions around the world and scattered within the various countries.

Would you try to join the resistance and fight back against the Nazis? Or would take a look at your smoking hot blonde blue-eyed Nazi girlfriend, and put on a swaztika armband, pick up a copy of the best-selling Mein Kampf and scream "Heil Hitler!"

Or would you wake up on the side of the road, realizing all of it was a dream and you had passed out because of heat exhaustion?

Adenn

I'd have the girl for a while, and once the fun is over, I'll try to convert her to un-nazi. Then, I'll die fighting against the nazis in an epic battle at the north pole...only to wake up next to the road, passed out from heat exhaustion.

You see an obese man in a red and white climbing up on your roof. You head up to make him stop, but both of you end up falling flat on the ground. He is no where to be found, and only his red and white suit is left. You find it fancy and try it on, but gradually you feel yourself becoming fatter. WHAT DO YOU DO.

Xander Vos

Sign a contract to make three movies about my story and become rich. Very Happy

You begin working at a computer company that are desiging a new computer that will access its own form of Internet called 'Sky'net. The computers operate on a highly advanced software system and can essentially think for themselves. You find this situation scarily familiar... what do you do?

Jiub

To be entirely honest, probably nothing. I don't really buy into all the "computers are going to kill us all or turn us into slaves" stuff. Unless you count being obsessed with computers being a slave to one. But, if I really did get the impression that they were going to take over the world in a terminator fashion I would get a rifle and go at it.

You are in a new country that has just started up. They ask you to design their flag for them. How would you design the flag? (give a brief description or a picture)

Butler_Swan

Black Background. Single horizontal red line in the through the center. A white wolf head in the center.

You wake up, but you realize you're not in your house. You try to get up, but instead you float up. You look around, and realize that you're dead. You for whatever reason want to telephone the police, but find that you are unable to speak. You are however able to pick up items. You take a look in the mirror, but you have no reflection, yet when you walk down the street people see that you're there. You look normal, and no one suspects you're actually not alive. What do you do? Or try to do?

Talen D'aar

I'd find a way to move on to the afterlife. I show up at the pearly gates and God's waiting for me. He gives me a hug, a smile and says, "Beer's in the back." XD

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You're kidnapped by a top secret organization that calls themselves "The Zenith" and are taken to their facility where they start experimenting on you for months. Then you wake up back at your home, in your bed. You come to find you have new abilities. What would you do? Put on a mask and a cape and try to save the world, or would you try to tear it apart?

Or was it all a dream, and you've always been this awesome?
(I'll let you guys decide the powers.)

Adenn

My aquatic abilities will be very awesome. Instead of saving the world or destroying it, I will practice it in the shower, and then I'll show it off to my friends to rub it in their faces. I will then depart to the sea and make it my habitat, where I will have a mermaid wife and babies. My child will have mostly my genes and inherit my awesome powers, and with my wife's genes, he will be able to talk to animals underwater. As he grows up, he will then find a child with similar powers, but those of fire. They argue at first, but soon become best friends as they are the crime fighters somewhere in Ohio. I live forever, as the sea someone stops my aging. It's a win win situation.

A car stops by you, and two men get out. They start pummeling the hell out of you as you sit there, being the loser never fighting back. A girl gets out of the car and starts cursing at you, and when you curse her back, she kicks you in the head and your neck snaps.

The next day, you wake up. However, everyone seems to ignore you in class. You throw books at everyone, but they seem to not notice. Everywhere you go, nobody sees you, neither do they hear you. WHAT DO YOU DO.

Butler_Swan

Do my best to decide whether or not they can see me. Or hear me, or whether I can interact with the physical world at all. If they can't...I could think of some great possibilities...

You live a normal life but you've always been a bit strange. You have a wierd job (animal food tester) but it seems fine to you. One day someone tells you that you are a frog. You tell them to prove it. They tell you they'll bring a Princess to kiss you to turn you into a Prince. What do you do?

Jiub

I guess I'd say bring the princess. If it turns out I'm not a frog, I'll just tell everyone else not to bother me about my oddness anymore. If I am a frog and the princess turns me back, awesome. Maybe go out with the princess if she isn't a brat. If I must remain a frog, then everything will still continue on as normal, or at least as normal as life can be as a talking frog.

You have gone to a violent nation with your best friend. Your best friend is captured by some terrorists that intend to kill him/her. You might be able to run to your nation's embassy where you could lie low and they could get you out of the country. But if you go back to the embassy, your friend will die before any rescue attempt can be made. You know where your friend is but you are only armed with a knife, some rocks just lying around in the streets, and whatever else you could realistically expect to find lying around in the streets in a 3rd world country. What do you do?

Adenn

The key word is might. With my knife, I would ATTEMPT to sneak into the embassy and bust him out. However, if anything goes wrong and we're noticed, I'd go LEEROY JENKINS. I would run around the whole place and stab whatever I can, then, if any has a gun, I'll spray and pray. Best way to die.

You are a lonely hacker in a boring world, when you stumble upon something. Your computer crashes, and an African American man shows out of no where next to you. He explains that THERE IS NO SPOON and that you can either choose the RED PILL or the BLUE PILL. If you take the BLUE PILL your eyes will be opened to "The Matrix", and if you take the RED PILL your life will go on as normal.

What do you do?
