Poll: Death and All His Friends...

[GeorgW]

If I choose when, can I say never? Not that I would, there are obvious downsides. But still, loophole?

 

[Assassin Xaero]

I wouldn't choose. If I did I'd be paranoid about it constantly...

 

[Habakkuk]

I'd choose how. Other than that though, I'd make it something vague like it has to include three shot glasses, a pair of rubber gloves, a medievil trebuches and several live geese.

 

[Andantil]

When.

I'd choose to die after all other humans have died.

 

[Caligulove]

How, because I would like to know what ends up killing me in the end, and to come to terms with that as a death.

Knowing where makes me afraid of exploration, something that I've always loved, loses the feeling of danger in new places.
Knowing when... well, I hate deadlines

 

[Dirzzit]

I would choose how for a certain death, that death? I would want to be shot in the gut, I would not want quick and painless. sure it would hurt but to have a precious life lived then without realizing it, you die.

Just like that, no last words just a cut to black. Sitting their I would realize what I've done, how I did before dieing.

 

[Talshere]

When, I think. It would suck to know I had a set time to go. But arguably I could figure that out as the time nears if I picked how and something other then "in my sleep". Same with where. If you pick some out of the way place, which you never intend to go too, then one day due to extenuation circumstances you fine yourself on the way there, you know your time is coming.

At least if I pick when I can define that I have the chance of a long life, and to a large extent can ignore risks because I know I cannot die. It would really give you the chance to live.

 

[zehydra]

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!

Is that a loophole? What if you are the last person alive? What if your flash-frozen for all eternity? By choosing to die at the end of time, you could be spending millions of years in terrible suffering or barely alive at all!

I for one would rather be suffering than dead.

 

[Macgyvercas]

I would choose how I die. And obviously, I would die in an epic battle defending a noble fortress from the hoards of darkness and evil.

 

[Icarion (aka Stockholm)]

I would pick to die at the end of human civilization

You'd rather suffer until the unavoidable end than die a quick painless death?

 

[EcHoFiiVe]

I would choose how. I think having the ability to choose to "safely die" would be amazing. What I mean by that, is dying without suffering or anything like that. Like I would obviously opt out of dying of some horrible terminal disease for something either more badass, or sexier.

 

[Something Amyss]

i would die on an exbidition to an untouched corner of the Earth (or perhaps some other planet) and die trying (and perhaps suceeding) to make a better world for our planets animals!

Wish granted. Time ends tomorrow.

 

[Spacewolf]

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".

Death is a tricky little bastard. Remember, by choosing one option, the other two are Death's choices to make.

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?

I'm sure I could come up with a place or situation obscure enough that death would just feel silly going through with it.

unless he gets annoyed that your abusing his kindness and makes sure you end up so badly crippled, misrable, whatever that you set up your abitary conditions willingly

Personnaly im going to go for John smiths death from family of blood or jacks good ending from bioshock sort of death e.g. surounded by loved ones after living a full life. Nothing to compilcated or flashy just nice

 

[zHellas]

I'd choose how.

How? Shot while taking down a major criminal.

The end of time.

You never said who's time or what time.

 

[Blunderman]

Simple: I'd choose to die when I wanted to.

 

[Tartarga]

I'd go with the When I die option. That way I could just say "I want to die in the year 10,982." Its not immortality but its close enough.

 

[beniki]

I don't want to choose. Because I don't want to die. If I choose either one, then I forgo the possibility of living forever. And even if he is my friend, I wouldn't give the bastard the satisfaction of tricking me out of immortality.

He's cunning that death chap...
