This is a simple game about choice. Rules are simple, just answer the question posed by the member in front of you, then you offer up a choice to the next member. Anything goes, funny serious or spiritual, no restrictions. If we are lucky maybe someone will pose a question that will spin off into it's own thread.

A sample of play: Would you rather eat beef or chicken?

I would rather eat chicken, it is better for you and doesn't stay undigested in your intestines.

Well here goes, I am going to start out with a simple one.


Q: Would you rather be stranded on an island with person who is dumb but compliant to your lust? Or with a person who is mentally stimulating but is undesirable?

[rewhu]

I’d choose the mentally stimulating person. In the long run I’d yearn for conversation over sex. Also, my level of physical attraction is directly related to my level of mental attraction. Personality, intelligence, etc. is a bigger turn on than body type. Also, having a smart companion would increase the odds of survival / rescue.

Although, I might consider the person who is “compliant to [my] lust” based on the assumption that even dumb people can be educated. I suppose if I were to be stranded somewhere with no hope of rescue it might be nice to have a project.





rewhu added to this post, 3 minutes and 17 seconds later...

Oops, forgot my question. Gimme a minute.

Ok...

Would you rather be picked as a contest for Jeopardy, knowing that during the show you’d be competing against two returning champions? Or would you rather be picked as a contest for Family Feud, knowing that the following people would serve as your “family”: Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, John Gacy, Ed Gein?

[le Duc]

Gimme the champion repeats. No stress, since I'd be far and away the underdog. And mentally stimulating, too, unlike... many other things. Wow, what a family, though.

Would you rather be a cowboy who's not-so-good at the fast draw in the old American West, or a kid who's a bit slow-of-foot in a 1950's rough-and-tumble inner city scene?

[notoppings]

I think I would be the kid in the 50's, that way if things got to hard for me I could always stay inside and have my parents to hide me. Also in the 50's at least I would have access to toilet paper, I don't think I could have lived in a time where toilet paper wasn't available.


Q: Would you rather go to prison for the rest of your life, without the possibility of parole, or would you prefer to be executed for your crime?

[Airius]

With those circumstances, whatever I did, my parents would be proud.

Executed for the crime. Hopefully without having to spend too much time on death row.


Would you rather have chronic insomnia or narcolepsy?

Chronic insomnia. I'd be able to hide it better. Falling asleep in public would be embarrassing.

Would you rather drink Pepsi or Coke?

(I should get an award for asking the least original question.)

Pepsi. Definitely. I hate Coke.

Would you rather die from burning or freezing?

[le Duc]

I've heard hypothermia actually feels comfortable in its last moments. No such luck with the inferno, so I'll take the chill.

Would you rather get bad directions and miss a great party or show up on time to a really lousy party? (What a question for an INTJ board...)

[Jakalwarrior]

Hmm... driving around lost or being bored at a lousy party...

I will take the lousy party and leave it

less money spent on gas and less frustration... that or get really drunk. Even a lousy party can be okish if I am off in my own little world.

[SiMey]

Would you rather be the person who forgot to ask a question and killed the thread?

or

Would you rather be the person who lurked around the forum and made fun of the person who killed the thread?

[le Duc]

Lurking is always safer. I learned that on another thread where they tried to kill ME!

If trapped in a war-ravaged situation, would you rather attempt suicide and painfully fail, or be captured by thugs and brutally murdered?

(Sorry to stick with the dark topic of death. It popped into my head.)

[le Duc]

Hmm. My talk of death seems to have killed the tread. Alas. It's always a question I've wondered about, though, and I have no idea what I'd do. (But since it's my question, I don't have to answer it, right?)

Let's try a resuscitative question:

Picture two stimulating intellectual debates. Would you rather win a debate on a topic you don't particularly care about, or hold your own but come up short on a topic near and dear?

[NephilimAzrael]

RE first question:
I would rather be murdered brutally, so long as I was fighting back. No surrender.
RE second question:
Come up short on a topic I am invested in.

My turn,
Is it better to;
a) serve in heaven
or
b)rule in hell

[Tabemashoo]

Serve in heaven. I don't care to be in charge of anything. Interesting question though.

Would you rather be gifted with extreme intelligence or extreme creativity?

[Dragontongue]

Extreme intelligence. I can always get by with moderate creativity. (That was hard!)

Would you rather learn one thing in depth, or many things glancingly?

[NephilimAzrael]

TOUGH!!!
One thing in depth

If you fought your dark side, who would win?

[Tocsin]

FOUL! Non-sequiter!

This is about choosing, not clairvoyance.

How can you know which side would win until you have fought the battle?


Next. Would you rather eat something that tastes good (but is unhealthy), or something that is good for your health (but doesn't taste good)?

****

Oops, I thought you meant "the" dark side.

Hope I would have won over "my dark side," but then again, me and "my dark side" would still both be me, so still a non-sequiter.... unless I had a split personality... which we don't... oops... which I don't.

[sam988]

Health always comes first. I would even choose this option if it had to be a lifetime decision.


Would you rather be abducted by aliens from a much more advanced civilization (that only abducted you after they asked you if you wanted to and you said yes, although you don't know what they're going to do with you) or stay here on earth and die (because if you got abducted maybe you would become immortal, if the aliens are immortal and are willing to make you so too) as just one more out of the 6.5 billion relatively insignificant beings that we humans currently are?

[ScottH]

Give me the experience of the abduction.

Being prone to bad luck, there would be painful experiments and no immortality, but I crave newness and experience.

Would you rather:
1) Make more money at an arbitrary job, or
2) Make far less but really enjoy the work?

[NephilimAzrael]

Make far less but really enjoy the work.

Would you save five of your friends from a fire or one member of your family?

[JustMel]

It would depend on which family member. My kids would come before my friends. My friends would come before my parents or siblings.


Would you rather live with an athiest or someone who is devout in their religion

[NephilimAzrael]

Atheist

Which is more important,
Expression of your opinions
OR
Formulation of your ideas

[Lupin]

Formulation of my ideas is by far more important as I'll be honing and honing them, whittling them down to the best ones but haemorraging the less desirable ones as I progress. There's always someone out there with the right skills and ingenuity to pick up what looks like scraps and make it into something real and potentially lucrative. Have no problem with that but I would have a problem in just expressing opinions like an armchair philosopher.....where does that actually get anyone? Who's going to listen? My limbs would atrophy and I'd never get visitors so that's a no no.

Would you rather be truly, madly, deeply in love with someone in a distance relationship spanning 1000 miles, who you see only every 3 weeks with only a possibility of making it permanent someday, than serial dating in your own locality still searching for 'the one' but knowing once you'd found them they'd be on your doorstep?

[le Duc]

I actually did something similar to the former: married a girl after knowing her for three years, but we'd only spent five weeks total together in person. We were 2,500 miles apart. Our 5th anniversary is next month, and we're still best friends. I'd do it again, too.

Would you rather have to walk a mile empty-handed with rocks in your shoes or fifty miles well-dressed but carrying a load equal to your weight?

[jlines]

1 mile over 50? too easy - ill take 15 mins of discomfort over 12.5 hours any day.

experience everything and end up bored, or experience nothing and be thrilled by anything
