If you were immortal...Follow

You don't have to escape from the steelbox. Eventually, your captors will die, their successors too, their country will fall, etc. They can't keep you for eternity. But if you want to get out, you could always make a deal with a guard. Ensure the futur of his children's children or something. Or if you had enough time to get rich, bribe. I didn't mention being rich because for me, it's a given. Fake your death, change identity, inherit, repeat.

You could party forever. Could you even get drunk if you were immortal? Wouldn't that require brain cells to die or something?

Well I am already eternal....since the life of Christ has given me eternal life and He has said that "those that believe in me will never die". I will spend eternity having all my dreams come true, with no pain, no tears, no hate, no fear, no sickness. I'll spend it with my loved ones, and everyone that is also born again by the power of the risen Lord Jesus Christ.

So for me...it will be a wonderful experience.

You must be loads of fun at parties.

I've got the perfect website for you, my brother!!

Good, Christian fun!

Subjunctive case, silly froggy.

Just drop your book, biblehumper, and go outside of the church.

Me, I'd read the news , go outside every once in a while, keep doing my job, then wait until some country comes along that's crazy enough to use truly nonlethal, incapacitating Weaponry, and then join said country's military. I don't think I could deal with all of the experiments though, because it probably won't be me who discovers what made me Immortal.

I'd get myself nailed to a cross. Come back a couple days later.

Then spend the next two thousand years f'ucking with people.

This reminds me of one of the portions of the original Highlander film that always kinda made me go "Hrrmmm?". Admittedly, you're supposed to suspend disbelieve, but this particular part was just a bit waaaay overboard.


The scene in question is when the woman investigating "Russel Nash" gets some help from some computer nerd guy and a bunch of old records he's dug up. They're sitting there over the screen while he pulls up a set of records showing a set of property that is handed over to some new person every 50 years or so, each one of which is a faked identity. Then there's this dramatic computer scene where they match the signatures and show that they are all the same.

The computer guy then takes off his glasses (in stereotypical dramatic fashion) and proclaims something like: "So what you've got is a guy who's been hanging out for 150+ years, pretending to die every so often, leaving his fortune to a dead child who's identity he assumes...".


Um... Isn't that a stretch? Wouldn't any sane police records guy assume that this was far more likely to have occured because someone faked a bunch of records for the ownership of the property and inserted them into the computer system? Wouldn't your first guess be that this was done by like the witness protection program or something? Or some secret spy organization? Or any of a dozen plausible explanations that *don't* require an improbable immortal human entering the picture?


Dunno. Just always found that bit amusing...

OMG Kool-Aid.

You're posting on a gaming forum, in a thread asking what you'd do if you were immortal in which half the responses have been aimed at asking for more definition of what being "immortal" meant, and you're critisizing my post?

Geek level too high for you or something?

I'd **********. A lot.
