Poll: You are cursed!?!

[knight steel]

HEEELLLO Escapist how are you?
In today I will give you a choice between a number of pocurses your job is to choose one (and yes you have to) and then say why and what you plan to do with this new gift!

1:Read minds of every one in the nearby area-can't turn it of will constantly hear all thoughts,will only hear what they are currently thinking.
2: Possess any ones body through touch-old body will die,can not be controlled once you touch it activates.
3:control minds to do what ever you think- Can not be turned of every thought is a command,old commands can not be overwritten,no new commands can be given while old one are in progress,done through thought.

So what do you choose, me i would read minds as I already live out in the bush with only man family for company ^_^

P.S Should this go in forum games?

I'd pick 2, because I rarely make physical contact with anyone as is plus I could use a good body swap this one is riddled with arthritis.

Makes sense,sorry to hear about your arthritis,who's body would you swap with?

 

[Basement Cat]

Option 1 would suck because I'd have to isolate myself from everyone just to be able to get any sleep. It's my second choice as it would likely drive me mad.

Option 2 is not a choice. I'd suicide--remember that this means NO SEX for the rest of your lives, folks.

I'd pick the 3rd option and practice until I got perfect at administering "neutral" commands which--hopefully--left the recipient effectively 'unaffected', though it would probably end up being a case by case basis. If I just said "Carry on as you have been doing" to someone walking by they might walk until they collapse.

Hopefully the OP's scenario isn't that kind of "Take it to the extreme EVERY TIME" kind of scenario.

The third one sounds awesome, sign me up.

Good question, since I'd be effectively killing them in the process it'd be a tough pick. Or would we just share?

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

I'd pick number 3, since it would basically let me because Lelouch from Code Geass.

Sure you could share but then you run the risk of the person taking over and wiping your mind from existence

It is It's not called a curse for nothing you know,also It's every little thought you think, regardless of what it is.
So lets say your at a bar and some one accidentally bumps into you and you thinking "fucking idiot" that person will permanently become stupid because of your "command".

That's were i got the idea from (it's on of my fav animes) Although just like him you would have to be carefully or you could create a tragedy like the Princess Massacre!

I'm sure we could reach an reasonable agreement.

 

[JoJo]

Number 3, number 1 would get annoying very fast and as for number 2, no contact ever again? Fuck that, it would be cool to take over someone's body but autotransferring whenever you next touch someone-else would take the fun out of it. At-least with number 3 it could be controlled to an extent without impacting greatly on my daily life.

Interesting considering how you have forcefully possessed them and will kill them if you ever touch another living soul thereby permanently isolating them how would you reach an reasonable agreement?

How would you prevent accidentally giving an unconscious thought that could harm people?
Remember every thought you think becomes life altering commands for any one nearby!

Does curse 3 mean when I tell them to do something, they are under my control or just saying anything will do it? If it's the first part then I can simply tell them "carry on as usual" or " don't do whatever I say when I have mind control powers" will simply solve the curse I think.

I think I would go with curse 1 as I would like to believe I can still phase out any personal information or stuff being said well think against me as I do in real life (don't care on people opinion on the way I looked).

Just thinking anything will activate it, example: So lets say your at a bar and some one accidentally bumps into you and you think "jump of a bridge" subconsciously without realizing it that person will now go and jump of the nearest bridge they find.

 

[MammothBlade]

I'll go with 1. Then I'll not have to worry about being lied to ever again.

I don't think I have enough self-discipline to bear the other two. But I would take them if I lost everyone I care about.

2 means no physical contact at all under any circumstances. I don't want to lose my body just yet.

3 would mean the death of the entire human race.

Hey we choose the same one and for (mostly)the exact same reasons give me a brofist

 

[geK0]

Well definitely not number 2

I might end up accidentally killing people with number 3

So I have to pick number 1, I might get used to the noise eventually, and mind reading could come in handy.

And this is different how?

Hopefully the OP's scenario isn't that kind of "Take it to the extreme EVERY TIME" kind of scenario.

It's a curse, therefore I'd say it's taken to the extreme every time.

OT: They're all so enticing! #3 seems cool but would routinely cause large numbers of people to kill themselves or at least have horrific accidents. Someone will notice I'm the center of it. I think I'd pick #2. I already keep my hands to myself. This way when I get old and tired I have a way out.
