A turn based game like one post and six steps

In here, you must create an interesting hypothetical scenario with a question.

The person who best answers the question wins if the scorer gives him the highest score. Hopefully, well researched and logical answers will win.

winner becomes next hypothetical scenario creator and stuff

you can make more than one submission and both will be judged and scored

i'll start:

You have a time machine that can carry 300 kilograms of materials (excluding yourself) not exceeding 1 cubic meter in space. Assuming you can only use it once, what items do you bring back to Rome in 117 AD, to best collapse of the Roman Empire?

this doesn't seem like a game as much as school work what does to best collapse of the roman empire? is the of supposed to be there?

ask sprout seems like school work too. so does six steps or one post. in fact, each of the two billion edits on wikipedia could've seemed like school work too. but imo it's fun. if you don't like it, don't participate.

yes the answer show describe what you bring, how you use it, and why it causes collapse of the empire

i would bring a bulldozer, and use it to collapse the roman empire. and btw, those other things are more fun because you can be as insane as you want. here your answers have to MAKE SENSE!?

Nuclear Bomb.

Preparations beforehand: I would learn Latin, as hopefully the modern Latin that is learned is similar enough to Latin in 117 AD, and then I would bring with a laptop which would contain several main components downloaded onto it: the entirety of the Latin and English Wikipedias, without images, two of every modern crop that is native to either Eastern Asia, Australia, sub-Saharan Africa, or the Americas, as well as a list of documents containing every vital invention to modern society and how to create it, in Latin, written by myself or by others if I deemed theirs worthy of translation.

Once I enter Rome: i establish myself in the mountains of Switzerland (still in Rome!), create a plane, then create a n00k to go on the plane. Then, fly over Rome and drop the n00k, and watch as my blan goes into action and the people of the Roman empire establish Byzantium as their new capital after revolutions.

Why would I want to bring the Roman Empire to fall? 117 AD is when Hadrianus became emperor and he was one of the best emperors Rome has had. I would just leave the time machine alone.

I would bring a load of Flashpaper, powerful ovalic magnets, an M16A and bullets, and a handful of M99 syringes. Oh, and a helmet

That way, I would be able to control fire(using the flashpaper doing magic tricks which they don't know how it works), I will have psychic abilities (using the magnets) and I will be able to neutralize people entirely both from afar and from distance. in a short while they will, in lack of any other choice, crown me their almighty king, possibly even their God, and I will reign like a monster for a while until they are all dead

^That's actually what happened with Jesus minus the guns. Maybe that'll give you the extra edge.

Asterix.

EDIT: The comic character Asterix.

I would send back a giant cube of aluminum.

wouldn't fit in a cubic meter of 300 kilos

0/10 DQ



makes logical sense, detailed plan, but 1. doesn't explain how any of this causes the fall of rome and 2. better hope that nook doesn't run out of power

5/10




until you run out of bullets. no explanation on how this causes collapse of rome

3/10




fictional response/nologic/explanation

0/10



what does this accomplish

0/10

edit: oh wait i forgot soccerboy

5/10 plausible but probably wouldn't cause a collapse needs more explanation

soccer/dar go

Darvince did a whole heck of a lotta work just to do the same thing i did lol

anyways...


You have one post to You see a unicorn running in the forest. You are holding a butter knife, an iPod Touch, a clock, a fire hydrant, and a watermelon. What do you do?

First, give it the watermelon, so it trusts you. Then, take a picture/video with your iPod Touch to show off to everyone. Everything else is useless.

throw the fire hydrant at the unicorn. if that misses throw the clock. repeat until unicorn is immobilized.* throw watermelon on head, and use butter knife to spread it so you don't recognise it as a unicorn. bring home. take picture with ipod and post on facebook saying "look at my great dinner!" proceed to eat

Turn around and head to the closest civilization, where you exploit your ability to hold a large amount of cumbersome items at once for profit. 40 years later, use the self-doubting of whether or not the unicorn was actually there as a starting point for an existential crisis.

throw the watermelon at the unicorn's horn. the impaled watermelon impedes movement of the unicorn. stab unicorn with butter knife repeatedly until it dies. overvolt ipod touch battery until it explodes and use the resulting flame to cook unicorn. eat when ready. empty unicorn corpse and carve it into a boat/raft. open fire hydrant and wait until entire forest is flooded. float yourself out on unicorn boat, using the watermelon as sustenance. now, since your clock is obviously a pendulum clock, take off the pendulum. anchor one end to the unicorn and swing the other end in the water. since the swinging end of the pendulum is moving faster, it experiences time dialation. you take hold the the swinging end and you have just created a time machine. fast forwards until you return to civilization. tell everyone that a flood is approaching and become a prophet.

Forgo the items and name him Paul.

I kill the unicorn with the butterknife and sacrifice it to the great god Cthulhu. Then drink it's blood and eat its remains in honor of Cthulhu.

I then throw the evidence into Mount Doom, which includes the butterknife, the iPod Touch, the clock, the fire hydrant, and the watermelon.

Find out who gave me that LSD because unicorns don't exist and I have no idea where all these items came from or why I'm naked.

I clone the watermelons and then repeatedly ride it about 50 times while holding the watermelon so that heart particles appear all around the unicorn and smack me in the face, giving me bruises. I then take pictures with the unicorn, post them to instagram under #unicorn #selfie #magical #yolo #SOCKS and ride it to Bolivia where the unicorn feasts on coca plants because that's its natural food, which is also why we never see them.

bump

i'll start a new round if this isn't judged when i wake up

detail the effects resulting if gravity were to shut off for 1 second.
