The Consequences [Concluded]

[Myrddraal]

"Legislator of Lol"
That has to be your new user title.

[Stildawn]

how do i change that lol

[miotas]

Please could you use Beskars answers for everything? If we can -

Scratch of previous answers, and print the revised ones instead. Add for #5 - I found the ending of the Sopranos disappointing because the end implied a return to where it all started, that throughout the whole series, character development, plot development, etc, meant nill, which would be worse then an ending with Tony's death or salvation simply because our emotional investment in the characters has been for naught.

However, once the questions are finished, do not hand the paper over just yet - look over our answers, make sure they are what we want first.

If anyone wants to overwrite my answer to #5, be my guest

The question also asks for how would you have changed it. So what about adding my previous suggestion?

Enemy "X" is standing at the door when he opens it and shoots Tony multiple times.

I find this offensive.

The idea was to cut down on RL time answering this survey. It doesnt really matter what we write. By the time they check it we will be long gone methinks.

Stildawn: User Cp -> Edit Your Details

Then theres a text box near the top.

Filling in the rest of your paper, the answers look like this:

1. ourself
You can survive a long time without food, however, the most immediate concern is infact water, considering how you are ironically surrounded by it. Also, if you are adrift, your most immediate concern would be getting out of the water and getting dry, as you would die from hypothermia long before the need of food. Depending of where abouts you are, attempting to kill another bad idea in itself, since you would have to expend energy in doing the feat which would mean you wear out in a shorter amount of time and this would kill you, also, any blood in the water would attract local wildlife, including sharks and other predators.

So the best course of action would be not to sacrifice anyone.

2. - A 33-year-old single mother, who refuses to go without...
- Her 7-year-old daughter, who will go without Mommy but will probably never be the same
- A Catholic priest
- A 27-year-old male computer programmer who originally dropped out of med school
- A 51-year-old handyman/mechanic, who may or may not be able to still have children

First, you would have to meet the criteria of what is needed. Your biggest concerns would be:
1) Healthcare
2) Repopulation/Reproduction.
3) Rebuilding.

First is the elderly couple. They would not provide anything productive and would only be a hinderance. Will not contribute anything.
Ex-Marine who was dishonorably discharged - is young enough to be fertile.
Infirtile chef - well, this will contribute nothing.
27-male computer programmer who was in med school. He is young enough to be fertile and live a while, he has medical skills available.
51 handyman/mechanic, while not possibly being firtile, he does have skills which are needed and can be taught on.
19-year old pregnant crack addict - There would be any crack, which would pose a cold turkey situation, but they could be cleared up and they can reproduce and obviously not inflirtile.
33-year old mother - which can still have children most likely.
7-year old daughter, the future is in the children.
Catholic priest: a vow of celebracy, male, no other information. Will contribute nothing.

From this list, the old couple are obviously a bad choice. The catholic priest is a bad choice. So those are simple to write-off.

The 19-yr old, the single mother and the daughter are all obvious choices to take.
The 27 ex-med student is obvious to take.

Then it leaves a choice between skills or sperm. Well, being male, there is enough sperm, so it is the matter of skills, which appears to be the Handyman/Mechanic. The Marine would have to do the honourable thing.

So the five choices -

- A 27-year-old male computer programmer who originally dropped out of med school
- A 51-year-old handyman/mechanic, who may or may not be able to still have children
- A 19-year-old pregnant crack addict
- A 33-year-old single mother, who refuses to go without...
- Her 7-year-old daughter, who will go without Mommy but will probably never be the same

3. It would be the assassination of Leon Trotsky. Because of his efforts to expose the corruption and the regime in Russia under Stalin, which could shape the future of socialism and communism, which could have ended up stopping the Cold War.

Also, this would have the most miminal impact. While there are some major assassinations in the past, some of the obvious ones would be a bad idea to stop.

Most famous assassination of all would be Julius Caesar at the hands of Brutus. Changing this result would vastly change history in such a way, it would probably be recognisible today without much thought to whether it would be for the better or worse, and if you stopped it, Julius Caesar might have disbanded the Senate of Rome, which could destroy the principles of a republic which would shape the foundation of important events such as the America Constitution.

J. F. Kennedy was round up in a bunch of scandels, and would have most likely ended up impeached or imprisioned, which would have put America in conflict, and with the Cuba Missile crisis which would be occuring during this... I think annihilation of the world through nuclear arms is a bad consequence.

There again, are many other people. Martin Luther King Jr. is now forever memorised as being the great person he was, he inspired others to take up the mantle spread equality and opportunity to a discriminated class.

Sometimes, when looking in History, great men can die. However, the conquences of that can be greater, because of the impact they have had on the world.

4. Tis better to have loved and lost (live for 5 years)
Living life to its fullest, or being in the paradise of being fully content is a gift people rarely can recieve and it is the most prized gift of all. Would be the first option.

5. I found the ending of the Sopranos disappointing because the end implied a return to where it all started, that throughout the whole series, character development, plot development, etc, meant nill, which would be worse then an ending with Tony's death or salvation simply because our emotional investment in the characters has been for naught.

6. Success: an event that accomplishes its intended purpose
While searching "define: success" in google might produce the result of "an event that accomplishes its intended purpose." In-line with the emotive questioning, this is obviously the answer not being looking for, but infact "Define success in life."

This leads to theorical issues such as what purpose of life, to become successful. This is usually based on the simple biological "reproduce", to religious "Follow the will of Allah", to consumer capitalism "Make a billion dollars then blow it all on planes, boats, fast car and women".

Life is what you put into it. Therefore, your success can only be measurable by your own standards of what it is to achieve it.

7. If he was trying to smuggle it, don't cover, if it was planted, cover.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A bit messy, but certainly readable. Although you wonder if your revised answer to #1 is in the spirit of the question, much like your original answer to #6 was.

[miotas]

They're probably going to cart us off to a padded white cell for all the debating we were having amongst our separate personalities.

[Myrddraal]

Perhaps we can add to question one:

If someone absolutely must be sacrificed, I would offer myself

This is very noble of ourselves. We should be very proud of our virtual self sacrifice.

[Subotan]

This is probably the only example I have ever seen of a group discussion coming out in favour of a utilitarian argument.

[Beskar]

I agree to that. Just for the sake of fully answering it. Though, killing the kid was the next best idea, to save him the agony of a prolonged death.

[Double A]

Also we didn't answer the Sopranos question all the way. We need to put how we'd end it.

[Beefy187]

Actually we could do the same for question 2 as well.
It doesn't say if we have any specialty besides owning the shelter.

If its the sake of humanities survival, sacrifice your self and let a chef or a marine in instead

Unless if we were a girl.

But in reality no one would be that selfless. If we write those answers down, result could show that we are self praising hypocrite.

But we would be better than the chef or the marine... I mean, inflirtile chef is a nothing, and the marine is pretty much a nothing as well.

[Beefy187]

Marine would know survival tactics wouldn't they?
Like how to preserve food, what can be eaten and what not... Also if we get raided by other survivors, he can fend them off.

[Subotan]

Who cares, we still get fifty dollars either way.

[pevergreen]

Smartest thing on this page.

[Beskar]

dishonourably discharged, also, if you haven't worked out, I think I would know how to preserve food, what can be eaten/etc compare to a rank+file drop-out. Also, I doubt the fact there would be other survivors and fend them off how? He isn't chuck norris.

[Subotan]

Just say You'd lock the bunker and let no-one in

[Double A]

I'd let all the women in.

Except the old lady.

[Stildawn]

You adjust the first answer (as per above) and then hand the form back in....


Lets just get this moving.

[pevergreen]

Which above? Surely not Double A's...

[Splitpersonality]

Oh god, can't we just simply pick something and ing move on!

It's not about our personal opinions most likely, we're here for the money it!

[Stildawn]

If someone absolutely must be sacrificed, I would offer myself

That one.... :)

[GeneralHankerchief]

Sorry, it's been a long day here. I'll try to advance things within the next couple of hours.

[Double A]

Use beskar's answers, with the self sacrifice bit others have added.

Let's get the freaking ball rolling.

[pevergreen]

[Stildawn]

Let's get the freaking ball rolling.

Lol AA ive already done that, we are waiting on GH now lol

[Double A]

Sorry I'm tired right now, in fact why am I even on?

[Beefy187]

Sorry I'm tired right now, in fact why am I even on?

Because you want to be hugged by Beefy before you go to sleep?

Aww... There there

[pevergreen]

Thats disturbing beefy.

Very disturbing.

[Beefy187]

Buts its nothing unusual coming from me either
