Would You Rather...

[Faust]

Depends on the setting. You'd get very different powers if it was 'Baldur's Gate' compared to 'Paper Mario'. Probably the plumber. I don't like class-based games and tend to go for edge-lord options just to demonstrate how creatively restrictive it is to base a character on a played-out literary archetype.

Would you rather eat a mystery meat pie, or know that it's definitely made from guinea pigs since, hey, at least it's not puppies, right?

 

[metatherat]

Rodentpals noo :O
.......although they are dead already. And I am kind of curious.... ehe. I guess I'll take the guinea pig one. I am sure they would understand, rodents are very practical creatures :3

You have picked "plumber" as your character class. Next you need to select your pet. WYR pick "ice fox" or "baby dragon" as your pet?

 

[Faust]

Baby Dragon. It’s cliche, but better than the alternative. Ice is a plumber’s arch enemy, busting pipes and whatnot. The Dragon on the other hand will make a decent blowtorch for welding broken pipes.

What would you rather meet, angels or aliens? Assume both are friendly.

 

[Spilo]

Hmm, meeting the Biblically accurate angels and not the boring human like angels sounds interesting! Maybe then I could ask them to help me travel throughout the universe to meet actual aliens, and befriend them as well!

WYR Have a really fast car or really fast feet?

 

[Wuff-Wuff]

Super fast feet! With the speed limits and traffic everywhere (and cars being kind of lame), I couldn't get anything out of that thing anyway.
Well except maybe on the German "Autobahn" :3 yaaaay all the deadly accidents!


WYR come back as a ghost to haunt those you spite, or as a pigeon to poop on those you spite?

 

[Faust]

A ghost, I guess, especially if it was a 'Beetlejuice' type ghost. They can have a lot more fun than pigeons. Besides, if I were a pigeon I'd also have to put up with a lot of other nasty stuff, like being hit by cars, or chased by cats, or shot at by pest control. Also, ghosts get ectoplasm, so I could basically split the difference, come back as a ghost and ghost-poop on my enemies.

But honestly, I'm not a spiteful person in general. I'd rather come back as a ghost and help people.

What would you rather discover: alien life, or an Atlantis-style lost civilisation?

 

[Spilo]

Alien life could be literally anything, from an advanced space travelling civilisation, to a human level civilisation, to disappointing microscopic life; and quite frankly, it's more probable that the more advanced alien life would discover me first than the chances of me finding them first, meaning that if I were to find alien life with current technology it would probably be the microbial kind. On the other hand, an Atlantis-style lost civilisation sounds way more intriguing, especially if it's something like Disney's Atlantis (underrated gem, btw). I mean, like, what if they have this technology? That would be hella cool!!

Oh, and yeah, WYR learn an alien language (in case you made contact with a more advanced civilisation) or just use whatever translator machine they might have with them to understand us.

 

[Yastreb]

Learn their language! I kind of doubt a universal translator could ever work as well as it does in Star Trek, and I don't want to cause a diplomatic incident with a mistranslation. On the other hand, learning an alien language would be a wonderfully exciting for a language nerd like myself, not to mention getting to see how universal the things we consider linguistic universals really are.

Would you rather go live on an alien planet for a year (assume sapient aliens), or have an alien that's coming to Earth for a year as your roommate?

 

[metatherat]

Living on an alien planet sounds like there would be a lot of stuff that would be biologically incompatible with me, Meta the bat, and I dislike effort as well as starving to death and wearing exosuits.
So I'm gonna pick the alien roommate. I hope they are a cute space rodent, and that they do not emit any deadly radiation or require like 1000 atm to survive :3

Two aliens want to become your roommate. Do you pick the cute space bunny who breathes hydrogen and requires an exosuit to survive on Earth, or the cute space weasel whose space culture revolves around eating his roommate alive repeatedly?
