Yes, it's an other one of those "Would you chose X or Immortality" threads, but with a small twist.
After all these "Live forever" polls, I've come to realise that the majority of the Escapist members, would go to great lengths for immortality, so I tried to think of a bargain that most would refuse(or at least find difficult to accept).
[HEADING=1]Main story starts here[/HEADING]
This scientist has made this special elixir that makes you immortal(and invincible, so if the Universe ended you'd be the last guy standing), but there is a price to pay(like in every devilish deal):
If you drink this elixir your personality, attributes and ...the heck everything single bit that makes you unique would change, turning you in the "anti-you". Forever!
Let's say you're good at picking up girls, after the transformation you'll utterly suck at it and you won't ever be able to change this.
Let's say one of your main ideologies is that "Communism is the best thing ever"; after the transformation you won't stand the Communism ideologies, albeit you'll love 100% Capitalism(or what's at the opposite end).
Let's go further: you love the Escapist, after the deal you'll hate it as you've never hated anything in your life. The same goes for preferences of any sorts.
Let's say you're an atheist, you'll forever be an thesis(you have been genetically and irrevocably modified by the potion).
And before you guys start all "there's a loophole somewhere", humour me and consider there isn't.
If you think that drinking the potion again will make you normal, think again, because it will instantly kill you.(your body doesn't support a double dosage, no matter what ever you do) Oh guess there is one little thing that can kill you then...you know I must leave something for the fin print.
In other words you will be the total opposite of what/who you are, and will never be able to change that opposite you. You will be an ageless, everlasting "Constant" in the Universe(although you'll be a totally different person...)
So, will you accept the offer?
[HEADING=1]and ends here[/HEADING]
[HEADING=2]Second topic idea[/HEADING]
If you still say yes, then for discussion value: is there anything that would make you refuse Immortality(+ invicibility and what ever you like to add to that)?
