The Comeback Kid or Reverse Dirtiness


Choice 1
The Comeback Kid





About:
-From now on, whenever you are insulted or put down in any way, you will have always have the perfect reply.
-Never again will you walk away from a situation thinking, "Damn, I should have said this instead," because what you actually said will have already been perfect.
-Just imagine that at the time you are insulted, time is stopped and an elite panel of writers, comedians, and witty people work together to come up with and insert the perfect reply into your brain. Then time is resumed.
-The ability works when you are in a group of people and the entire group is insulted.
-You have control on whether you want the "comeback" purely funny, viciously stinging, or both. In some cases, you can also turn it into charm. For example, if you are getting grilled at a tough job interview, you can combat the negative energy with witty replies.

Rules or Restrictions:
-On the whole, this ability doesn't make you a witty or charming person.
-It works when you are directly insulted and when people are generally mean to you (or your friends).
-Basically, it is a tool for fighting any negativity directed your way.




Choice 2
Reverse Dirtiness





About:
-Everything you interact with miraculously becomes cleaner. As you eat, your plate becomes cleaner and cleaner to the point where when you're done, you can just put the dish back in the cupboard. After using the bathroom, the next person in will smell an elegant mist of countryside air.
-The effect is not instantaneous but continual. Holding a dirty dish for about fifteen minutes will make it clean. Sitting in a bathroom for an hour will make it spotless.
-The effect is additive. If you use the same bathroom every day, chances is are that it will always be spotless.

Rules or Restrictions:
-Using the power to do other people's chores is not as easy as it sounds. Your clothes will always be clean because they're always with you. However, if you were to do someone else's laundry by sitting on their hamper, it would probably take just as long as actually doing laundry. Or if you were to clean someone else's dish, you could hold it for fifteen minutes, or just wipe it down in the same amount of time.

Baby Swapper Or Raise Someone Else's Shitty Kid


Choice 1
Baby Swapper






About:
-Each year, you must swap at least one pair of babies between mothers.
-You have three years of preparation time.
-The swap can occur anywere--at the hospital nursery, social gatherings, or daycare. Though, I'd get on it early before the mother gets used to what their child looks like.
-You can stop after 35 years or when you are 55 years old, whatever takes LONGER.

Rules or Restrictions:
-If the mother finds out that her baby has been swapped within that year, it doesn't count.
-You are legally responsible for your actions if you are caught.
-If you fail to accomplish your swap in any year, you die.



Choice 2
Raise Someone Else's Shitty Kid






About:
-Think of some jackass dude in your life. The kind of person who tries to pile all their work on you, blame you for their wrong-doings, and talks bad about you to your supervisor when you're not around.
-That person will leave for a vacation to some douchey-sounding place (like "Bahrain") and leave their newborn kid with you for some reason or another.
-The person dies in a tragic "parasailing" accident and you are through some complicated court decision, forced to be the legal guardian of the child.
-You must then raise the child to adulthood and be there for him for the rest of his life like any normal parent.
-From very early, you will know that the child has very limited potential--she/he will not be very bright, will take forever to understand anything or learn how to play any sports, will have a C- average in school, and won't learn how to read the time on a clock until age 17.
-The child's interests will be in weird things in which you have very little understanding. For example, if you're the all-American type that likes playing and talking sports, the kid will be into various role-playing games that include wizards, sorcerers, and mages.
-Sometimes the child will seem to lose a grip on reality and get lost in his own fantasy world--for example, he may be more interested in trying to date the elves of the "whispering glen" than asking a real person out to a dance.
-He/she will want to bathe very rarely.

Rules or Restrictions:
-The child has to feel loved by you forever--if you give the child any reason to doubt that you do not care for him/her like a normal parent, you will die.

-If someone dies, you must meet their closest relative not listed in the phone book. If they have no other relatives, then you are off the hook for that person.

-Chowders and Bisques are considered soups.
-Your beverage habits do not need to change.

-If you eat anything that is not soup or cereal, you will become sick instantly and will need 2 days to recover. This includes soup crackers eaten before they're placed in the soup.
-Soup crackers are okay after they are placed inside the soup.

Rules or Restrictions:
-You may not tell anyone why you can only eat soup and cereal. If you do, you will die.

How to Play

Would You Rather is a game most people have played at one point in their lives. While there are many different variations to the game, the basics of the game are consistent. You will be asked to select what you would rather do from a series of two choices. Selecting neither of the choices is not an option. This is what makes the game fun, so I'll repeat it: selecting neither of the choices is NOT AND OPTION. The choices are typically either both negative or both positive (though there can be choices with both pros and cons). Players are encouraged to ask questions to help make one of the choices rise above the other.

Some people play the game with a time limit on the questions, and when the time limit is reached, all players must answer with the information they have. THIS IS NOT HOW WE PLAY.

Some people play the game where the creator of the question determines that one of the answers is correct for one reason or another, and informs the players who was right after a certain amount of time. Though some of our questions were created with this type of play in mind, THIS IS NOT HOW WE PLAY.

Some people play the game where players do not have to explain their answers. THIS IS NOT HOW WE PLAY. We believe that explaining the answers is one of the best parts of the game as it allows for more discussion, and more opportunities for laughs.

HOW WE PLAY:
-Players must select one of the two options. Choosing neither is not an option.
-Players must explain why they selected that option.
-There is no time limit.
-There are no right or wrong answers.

*We encourage players to be competitive, as this also raises the level of discussion and opportunities for hilarity. Tell the other players why you're right and they're wrong (even though there are no right or wrong answers).

Transition to Opposite Gender or Forced Philanthropy

Choice 1
Transition to Opposite Gender


Things to consider:
-Over the next six years, you will slowly transition to the opposite gender. It will basically be like going through puberty all over again.
-After you go through the awkward transition stage, you will fully become the opposite gender and actually be VERY attractive. At least 95% more attractive than others of that gender.
-Your genitals will also change, but your mind will remain exactly the same, including your sexuality.
-How would your current significant other react (if applicable)?


Choice 2
Forced Philanthropy


Things to consider:
-60% of all your income MUST go to a charity of your choosing, forever.
-The rule applies to any gifts, bonuses, spontaneous inheritances. If you acquire material goods, you must periodically sell 60% of the total worth and donate it.
-The rule will come into effect for your significant other if you enter a relationship for more than 2 years. If your significant other refuses and you stay together, you die.
-Every year or so, you will be publicly recognized for your philanthropist activity on the national stage (at least on prime-time TV) and you will be portrayed very favorably.
-The money that goes toward the 60% has to belong to you. As in, you can't ask people to donate to your charity and count it toward the 60%.

Emergency! or Give Kids Drugs

Choice 1
Feign an Emergency Once a Month


Things to consider:
-Once a month, while you are out and about, a man will randomly walk up to you and give you a signal. It is then your responsibility to create commotion and emergency-related chaos. Feign a heart attack, get in a car accident. It's up to you. BUT--
-Your emergency situation MUST inconvenience at least 50 lives or it doesn't count.
-It is your responsibility to be out and about and get the task done once a month. In other words, you can't live as a hermit. You must go out and risk getting the signal.
-If you fail to do this once a month, you die by guillotine.
-You are NOT immune from any legal repercussions for setting off emergencies all the time.


Choice 2
Give Kids Drugs




Things to consider:
-Twice a year, you must find a child (below 18) who has never used drugs and become the major reason that they try drugs.
-It must be a "street" drug. Alcohol and marijuana do not count.
-The child has to take and use the drugs by his own will. You cannot inject someone, spike their drink, or tie them up and drug them.
-You will be guillotined at midnight on new year's if you fail to accomplish your mission that year.
-You CANNOT get in legal trouble for your actions. The drugs are supplied to you in a legal manner and the police are on your side, so if you get reported for something, they won't look into it.

Penis-pickle-fart or Foot Orgasm

Choice 1
Say Penis-Pickle-Fart at the End of Each Sentence




Things to consider:
-Everything you say from now on will end with the words "penis-pickle-fart."
-You won't even think about it anymore, it'll just happen. Even in writing. And you can't go back and edit your words either.
-All forms of communication would end in this way, even if you were to send a morose code.
-Some phrases to consider (I'm sure you can think of more): "I love you, penis-pickle-fart." "I think I would be an asset to this company, penis-pickle-fart." "Will you marry me, penis-pickle-fart?"
-People who know you well will probably get used to it.


Choice 2
Experience a Fit of Orgasms When Your Right Foot Touches the Ground




Things to consider:
-You can use a wheelchair or crutches.
-You can use this to your advantage when appropriate.
-You would get desensitized to the orgasms in the same way as if you were experiencing them at the same frequency without the foot.
