Thoughts?

Nerdgasm personally and I want one. I think it's a good idea, but will we every have to use it?

Edit: As I was walking away from the PC, I just imagined all the keys were infact rings despite him saying it was like a credit card, and that when the internet dies and they need to restart it, 5 nerds come together like a Captain Planet episode and combine their powers to create Captain Internet! ^_^

Rings?

Three Keys for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Key to rule them all, One Key to find them,

One Key to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.


On topic: It sounds like a good idea to have a worst scenario plan. I personally do not want one, since I would never be able to stop worrying over screwing it up.

That is so awesome. xD It's about time they do something like that.

I like that the keys are spread to people all over the world, so no one group/faction would be able to do it alone.

. . . Can anyone else see a global catastrophe happening, and these trusted individuals going on an epic quest, journeying across vast lands and fighting evil mutated creatures to unite the keys together and revive the one thing that could save us all... the INTERNET.

It sounds so epic I might nerd-gasm.

 

[TimeLord]

Now that they have prepared for it, it is gonna happen!

Does that mean... we could erase 4chan from the face of the Earth?!
And everything else with it but still!

Right, so he has been entrusted with the possibility of restarting the internet in the event of some crazy shit happening, and he goes on the BBC and tells the entire UK who he is? And a desert in the U.S... where would that be, I wonder? Surely not Nevada.

Can anyone verify if each key is the same, just needs to be combined? Or is each one unique? Because if they are all unique, that has to be the stupidest plan I have ever heard.

 

[Sephychu]

That is so cool.

Do it, and 90% of teenagers would commit suicide with 24 hours.(I would be part of them)
