Can you really take this chance?
Do you believe strongly enough that the other person won't press the button?
Do you believe strongly enough that I'm just going to let you go?

In the Case of (b)

whoever gets there first wins

Answer the question. If no one presses the button, what happens?

I have decided not to press the button. Versus anyone else I would have to press it, but darth is less likely to push it. The possibility for us both surviving exists.

Plus, if darth knows we are both going to die, he will push the button, which would be an unfair advantage.

bye bye eggs ... have fun in the afterlife ... *pushes button*

*not pushing it*

If this goes bad, I'm calling shenanigans or Darth's "game".

Let's take a dive. I'm not pushing.

Lights flash sirens blare and Eggs is atomised by his supposed friend Sid (seriously who is up at 1:24 in the morning). But there’s a catch (as always) the buttons that you thought would kill your friend were actually teleportation activation devices which teleported the other player out of the room and Eggs is the only to have escaped (oh and me because I’m all powerful). As for the rest of you, as you seem to like each other’s company so much you shall stay in trapped forever (Reverse you shall be alone as I have made my escape) awwh.

But because I am all merciful I shall give you one more chance.

CHOICE 22:

The Big Red Button

ROOM 1:

PRESS IT!!!!!

ROOM 2:

ARE YOU MAD STAY AWAY FROM THAT THING!!!

“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”
― Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time


PRESS IT!!!!!(1)

Room 1, you sadistic bastard. I had not chance to escape the last room

did any of you realise I hadn't put a condition on the 50/50 you have no idea what that button will do

Yes. You could have written nothing on the button. And it could be blue. We would still push it.

QFT

Push the Invisible Blue Button.

well the button seems interesting ... although does 50\50 mean only 2 of us survive or is it a 50\50 chance of us all surviving ... what do you guys think?

I think we have no idea what it does, so let's throw caution to the winds and PRESS IT!!!!!

Personally I'm hoping for superpowers, the construction of a new universe, or a nice game of strip thermonuclear war.

Lights flash, sirens blare and all of a sudden there’s an elephant in the room awkward!

CHOICE 23:

Elephant in the Room

ROOM 1:

KILL IT!!! WE NEED THE FOOD THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

ROOM 2:

Hold on a minute this elephant may come in handy later. KEEP THE ELEPHANT!!!!

well biology and physics (and a whole lot of cartoons ) says that the elephant maybe handy ... and depending on the room atmosphere ... if we were to kill the elephant, what would we do with the leftover meat (since i see no quick exit) ? wouldn't it just rot?

If I know Darth, killing elephant = death to attackers.

Let's keep Stompy.

but in doing that what if stompy goes on a rampage???

BOO!

Why stompy?

Lets not kill him.

This is a compelling argument.

I feel quite an emotional connection to Stompy, unlike these alleged 'children'; who let them into our country? Stompy deserves a better life.
Plus, from my extensive research (vague memories of Aladdin and Tarzan) elephants make loyal friends. And are red.

Room 2 please.

lights flash sirens blare, and the now affectionately named “Stompy” is part of the family, obviously it isn't the smartest thing to keep an elephant in an air tight room but what the heck let’s keep him anyway.

ok now begins Quickfire Ethics and Choice you have a limited time left before you all die of asphyxiation you have (1 week) to live. Starting from Tuesday you will receive a button to press every day for a week. Depending on the results of your random button pushing you could gain more time to devise an escape plan or you could lose time.

It is up to you to devise the escape plan, when you do post one in thread, I will tell you if you succeed, the plan must only use what you have in the room at any given time.

Note: Some items may disappear after a certain time so think fast.

CHOICE 23:

The Blue Button

ROOM 1:

Press it

ROOM 2:

Leave it alone


On this Button it is written 50/50 screwdriver or key

ooooh shiny .... push it!!!!!!!!!!

Presses button.

O.o that felt good

Presses button again.

Oh yes!

Presses button again!

F**K yeah!
