Then I would laugh at you as the moon crashes into earth.fezzthemonk said:Gotta go for where. If i chose the moon, there is not that much he can do to get me up there. i would never die if i didn't feel like it. i would die on my own terms
I'm sure I could come up with a place or situation obscure enough that death would just feel silly going through with it.ThatLankyBastard said:Death is a tricky little bastard. Remember, by choosing one option, the other two are Death's choices to make.the Dept of Science said:Couldn't this just be endlessly exploited?
Like, if I said WHEN, then could I just choose any arbitrarily long time away, like 1000 years?*
Or if I said WHERE and then said Mongolia, I would know that I could do anything death defying and provided that I wasn't in Mongolia, I would know that it wouldn't kill me. I could jump in front of a train in England and survive.
HOW has the most potential to guarantee that something happens. I could say something like "I fuck so many women that there is a national crisis and the government puts a price on my head".
If you jump in front of a train in England, they might need to fly you to a specialist in Mongolia to try and revive you (unsuccessfully)...
See what I'm getting at?
This is what I was looking for! Specific, in-exploitable, and not too far-fetched!JoJoDeathunter said:I would choose "how", as this could be exploited as to give myself a very satifactory life:
e.g. "Die in old age in my mansion in arms of my ever beautiful and faithful wife, with my loving daughter also by my side, surrounded by my numerous good friends and my piles of money".
How would deciding to die before you were born work? Does that mean you get a time machine later in life?ThatLankyBastard said:Just be very specific when your talking to Death. Say you want to die at 5:30 PM on June 6th, 1954, or something like that...Jim Grim said:But what if how when and where you die are inextricably linked? Like if you get run over by the 2:00pm train as it leaves central station?
Thats what I was going for, yeah...kikon9 said:How would deciding to die before you were born work?

damn i didnt read this before i voted... Yes i could say i want to die after the orbital lifts are done and the 5th earth fleet has just completed there invasion of the outer rim etc... basically making awesome things happen.Ham_authority95 said:I want "when", because then I could just set a timer and enjoy life without worrying about my health.
And that "when" is 115 years from now.
What happens if you choose to die 1000 years in the future, only to be placed in suspended animation and wake up 999 years later in a desolate world populated by nobody, spending one year scrounging for food before eventually dying of starvation? Death is crafty, and has plenty of tricks.interspark said:there's a pretty obvious loophole in this thread, what's to stop us from wishing to die at the end of time itself? thus making us invinsible and, to a certain extent, imortal!
