Poll: The inFAMOUS dilemma...

[HT_Black]

For those of you that don't know, inFAMOUS was a dandy little game for the PS3 earlier in the year about a guy made of electricity. Said guy (TINY SPOILERS) acquired his powers by using a device called a 'Ray Sphere'. The catch was that roughly ten thousand people died near-instantly, and everything for three quarters of a mile was desolated.

So now for the real question: Say you, through several extenuating unlikely circumstances, end up with the ray sphere in the palm of your hand. What do you do? You can detonate it there and give yourself the superpowers of your choice, at the cost of everyone and everything for about six blocks in any direction. Keep in mind that the number of people the sphere kills (you, the holder, are exempt from its effects) affect the degree of your powers: I.E. detonating it in Times Square will make you into some sort of latter-day Zeus/Thor hybrid, while using it in the barren wilderness will gift you with almost nothing. For simplicity's sake, we'll say that the sphere is in incredibly poor condition, and can be used exactly ONCE before shattering to pieces.

So...would you set it off, and where? Or would you do something simpler and less deadly...like stomping it into shards?

I *might* go to the parliament and use it there
But I'm not really a fan of mass killings so...

If World War III would be on my doorstep,i'd go for it. But otherwise no,since A) i value every living thing,people withstanding,and B) my city isn't too big.

 

[Nmil-ek]

I would bide my time for the next major election/speech maybe in china? Or a huge ass concert both are more than likley to gather the highest number of people.


Oh wait I have it feckin perfect, the Olympics more than a good few million people.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Come on people.... Superpowers, how tempting is that?!

I'd do it in a heartbeat, but then again I'm a misantrope with a rotten peach for a heart...

OT: I'd use it in the middle of Tokyo at the busiest time for maximal Superpower-ness.
I love Japan, but I'd still do it in Tokyo just because I think it'd generate the most power.

Wait 'till MaxTheReaper shows up. He is carbon-copy of my little brother (i.e. anthropomophic personification of evil).

Yeah,yeah,The Tokyo Fireball.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Yeah,yeah,The Tokyo Fireball.

Hehe, I never tought of it that way, but manga and anime do blow the Hell out of it a massive amount!

I just mentioned it because it is the most crowded place I have ever been too, and the most people in one place I could think of

 

[Disaster Button]

Didn't he activate the Ray Sphere accidentaly?

Incidentally, I might accidentally fall on it and might accidentally activate it and get super powers..

 

[SteakHeart]

Are fish eligible to charge up the sphere? If so, I swim into the middle of the ocean and activate it.

 

[G1eet]

I wouldn't be Sylar, if that's what you're asking. I won't kill people in cold blood. I'll just go to Leavenworth and detonate it there.

If you don't see the logic in that, I probably don't care for you as a person.

 

[Poomanchu745]

Ya i would prob head down to mexico city (the most populated city in the world) and use that shit. That way i could help with their overcrowding problem and become a near god. then i would run around and spread democracy and Christianity to all arab peoples. just kidding. i would prob use my powers for free cheetos

 

[KarumaK]

In a fucking heartbeat.

Power paves the way, and I got a long road ahead of me.

 

[dark_taint92]

id denonate it in france
for obvious reason
nah im just kiddin im thinking detonating it in some were like china or usa that way i get more people in the blast radius making me supe awesome in the process

 

[Craig FTW]

Do the familes/ officials/other people know that is was ME that technically killed all those people? If they would then I might not, yet I'd be incredibly powerful..

 

[HT_Black]

Yeah,yeah,The Tokyo Fireball.

Hehe, I never tought of it that way, but manga and anime do blow the Hell out of it a massive amount!

Congratulations...you broke my business model.

...Blast it!

"Killing civilians doesn't end wars. It starts them." Yes I just quoted Mass Effect.

I said no but reluctantly. I couldn't bring myself to do that even for something like superpowers. (Coincidentally I'm listening to Silent Melody right now. What a song!)

 

[lizards]

i would wait for my country to go to war move and join the other sides army then when around a huge base i would denonate it

 

[WeedyPirate]

No. I wouldn't even be tempted; I wouldn't quite trust anybody including myself with super powers. Plus I'd already feel like a villain after acquiring my powers in such a dodgy manner!

 

[ColeMcdoi]

In reality (serious reality) I would go to some deserted place, maybe he sahara desert and detonate but in an unserious way i'd do it in Times Square or something just to f*** it all up.

 

[Triforceformer]

In a heartbeat, Electricity super powers that can heal people as well as hurt them, freakin sweet.
