A new thread for you kiddies to waste your time on.

ask and answer dilemmas, e.g. in the format "would you rather ... or ... "
dilemma can be a choice between two bad things, or two good things

Posts should look like:

[answer to previous poster's dilemma, and preferably with your reasoning]

[set new dilemma or say 'pass', in which the next poster will have to answer the same dilemma as before]

to start:

Would you rather have to give up reading manga and novels or give up watching television and movies?

I would give up watching television and movies, because I don't really watch either these days.

Would you rather die young or die old.

I'm guessing you mean die young and happy or die old and bitter?

I didn't mean anything that specific, but if that's how you see it then go ahead. I mean, that is why you asked for one to give reasoning to one's choice, right?

I'd die middle aged, it's neutral
EDIT: if i could pick how I'd die by jumping from a really tall building or cliff; it would be really cool


i give you a million dollars; would you choose to live with it now or 100 years ago? knowing that 100 years ago having 1 million dollars was like having a billion.

now. there's nothing that I'd really want to buy from 100 years ago.

would you rather have a smart but plain-looking spouse, or a dim-witted but gorgeous one?

depends. if possible I'd find a medium.

in a freak forum accident everyone's post counts get reset to 0 and all admins lose their status. that would you do?
1. establish a self moderated utopia
2. spam your way to the admin position
3. start a new forum
4. scream agggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
5. sleep
6. give up and play video games
7. restart your computer hoping it was an error
8. start an IRL meeting of the top posters to see what can be done
9. look for the error in a giant sea of programming text
10. commit suicide

if i had to pick one I'd pick the smart one, talking is more fun than starring at a gorgeous person, and it makes me feel better about myself.

If you want me to be more specific then I'd die old, would give me more time to see everything.

Now, answer the question!

You're blowing this game out of proportion =/ You just choose one of two choices given in the above post, and then you offer two choices to the next poster. Don't over analyse it, just choose one. Follow the rules, yo.

My choice to daystar's ridiculous question, I'd do none of the above. Just continue as usual, as posts aren't everything.
Now, can we play properly?

Would you rather learn to drive a car or learn to ride a motorcycle?

if (incorrectly) assuming that I know neither, then I'd still prefer to know how to drive a car. It's just a bit more practical.

If you could either have the ability to fly or turn invisible, which one would you pick? (And what would you do with that power?)

I would probably choose to turn invisible, as I don't really like overly fancy powers and flying is just that. And with invisibility, I'd use it to spy on people, get free entry to places and all such things. I'm not exciting enough to do much else, petty thief is me.

You're given the ability to jump through time, once to an era of your choice and once back (if you choose). Now, would you go back into the past, or visit the future?

@mint: so you'd basically pick the first option.

Invisibility, what are airplanes for? I'll add the reasons later

You've gotten six hours of sleep. Do you get up and have fun or do you sleep more? You Won't get the fun later

@daystar: I don't believe in Utopias. Besides, admin can just reestablish by default. And you missed my question, I already answered amginE's post.

Get up, 6 hours is standard to me, though I don't care much for fun sometimes.

Would you rather wear a ring or a necklace?

I'd go back to the past as life was more interesting at that time. (like 500 AD?) I like those stupid knight and king stuff....

I'd rather wear a necklace, cos it doesn't bother my hands.

If you have the option to choose your parents, who would you choose? A rich, but very busy parent or a poor, yet humble parent?

I'm at a friend's house, using her internet connection, typing speed has little to do with how fast I post. I'm generally not spam-prone, so I don't post as fast as or as much as you. If I can't think of a good post, I don't post~

I'd rather have sleep.

Would you rather read a book, or watch the movie/TV series of the book?

Play properly, it's not a choice.

There's that 'anything goes' thread, so spam there.
Just because it's off-topic doesn't mean it's spam-at-will.

If it gets any worse, I'll have to appoint a moderator. Preferably someone who's not afraid to use the banhammer.

Next dilemma: Would you rather be forced to use only lycos as your search engine or be forced to use only internet explorer 6 as your browser? Restriction lasts for the next 10 years.

Forced to use Lycos, IE is pure annoyance. It's not customisable enough either. 10 years is a long time to have to suffer IE, also probably meaning I'd get stuck tied to Windows.

You walk into a blank, windowless room, the only contents being an oil lantern and a small pack of matches. You're told you can only have one of these items for the indefinite amount of time you'll be stuck in the room. Would you rather have the oil lantern, or the box of matches?
