a shamman has, supposedly, awarded you the ability to pick your next life and in return you must sacrifice yourself to his "God" (kill yourself).

There's way too many ifs here.
First and foremost, there's no proof whatsoever that he actually has this ability, and isn't simply a)nuts, or b)a fraud. That alone is more than enough to make me reject the offer - and yet it's actually the smallest risk!
He doesn't merely say that I lose my previous body, but that I "sacrifice it to his 'God'". Having no clue what kind of being this is, there's no way I'd do it.
Am I empowering some unseen evil force? Am I enslaving myself? Am I risking my soul? There's simply too many risks here, and they're all enormous ones that go far beyond merely losing this body. Those kind of risks are never justified.
Last but not least, there's also the question of how exactly this new body works. Do I simply lose my old one and become a new adult with full memories of this life, or is it I like I died and reincarnated, where it may be possible to recall some memories at a later age, but I'm basically discarding this life completely? There's quite a difference there, in terms of what's lost, who besides me is affected, and my chances of surviving more than a few weeks in new form are.

would you do it

When risks include "eternal enslavement to lobycraft-esque deities", "sudden loss of all memories", "soul loss", "corruption on a spiritual level", as well as "just plain dying because the guy is a fraud", along with "everything actually goes fine, but you get gunned down 2 days into your next life", I wouldn't even consider it.

what would you be?

Well, unchanged since I'd never agree under this set of circumstances... but given a scenario I would accept... *points to second line of sig*

This might be an interesting one to run with the same type of scenario, but where it's guaranteed to work, and exactly what the cost and side effects are is unquestionable. As it stands, I don't think anyone would accept.

Your house is on fire, but everyone who lives there (pets included) have already escaped. You have time to make 3 trips in, taking whatever you can carry out with you. Everything else will likely be lost. What do you take and why?

You can... unfortunately so can everyone else, and 2 people teleporting to the same place at the same time becomes the leading cause of death.

I wish a fix had been found for the genetic bug that causes aging.

This one is very simple. Say something about the person who last posted to the thread. Do not post twice in a row.

How it works:
1. Read the last posted scenario.
2. Describe what you would do in response.
3. Post a scenario of your own.
4. Do not post twice in a row.

First scenario:
You just became completely immortal - you cannot die, and even if your body is utterly destroyed, it will reform seconds later. However, this will last for only 1 day, after which you'll return to normal.

Thread Games / The corrupt a wish game

« on: October 11, 2009, 09:09:52 pm »

How it works:

1. Read the last posted wish.
2. Respond with a post that TECHNICALLY grants the wish, but very much not as the wisher intended. This can involve things going horribly wrong, or just plain silliness. Replies can range anywhere from a 1 line response to a quick story. Be creative.
3. Finish by posting a wish of your own.
4. Do not post twice in a row - someone else has to corrupt your wish.

Example:
I wish I didn't have to worry about money.
The global economy collapses, and everything returns to the barter system.

I wish we had fusion power generation.

Thread Games / The rhyming picture game

« on: October 11, 2009, 09:00:04 pm »

How it works:

1. Post an image in response to the previous image in the thread.
2. Post text, using a rhyme, that explains how your image is a reply to the previous image, text, or both.
3. As with most thread games, you can't post twice in a row.

Example:
In response to a picture of a lizard, you could post a house covered in snow, with the text, "I saw your lizard. Unfortunately, he didn't survive the blizzard."

Here's the picture to start this off:
