Yeah, the more I think about it the more I remember that I'd probably just be a horny bastard with my choice.

Plus you could conjure Ryu to fuck up your enemies.

Unless of course that gets reset too. We assume that it comes from having a long memory. No one has ever done the experiment where they suddenly become young again.

We should ask those immortal Jellyfish about it.

Bullet Magnet 12-01-2012 08:05 PM

I think their lack of a central nervous system will influence the results of any memory study.

Sekto Springs 12-01-2012 08:06 PM

Sometimes I think you're too much of a geek for your own good.

Bullet Magnet 12-01-2012 08:07 PM

My fear is the opposite: that I'm not enough of a geek to make use of it.

STM 12-02-2012 08:58 AM

After much consideration (and by much I mean a few seconds), I decided the monocle, then I'd go searching for dropped £50 notes...

If we had a second choice, I'd rescind my previous ideas and get the mech, because who's going to argue with someone who owns a mech?

Varrok 12-02-2012 09:53 AM

The guy with Iron Man suit, I guess

STM 12-02-2012 10:44 AM

Nah, my mech is better.

Crashpunk 12-02-2012 10:45 AM

Bring it.

Tired Glutton 12-02-2012 01:36 PM

If I took the bath robe would it just be water i can control? or things made out of water too? would they just turn back into water if i tried controlling it?

Ridg3 12-02-2012 01:56 PM

I can't imagine using it for anything other than using it to keep me dry.

Bullet Magnet 12-02-2012 02:52 PM

Iron Man suit is equivalent to the mech, except that it's more convenient. You can do stuff with it indoors.

Vyrien 12-02-2012 02:52 PM

I'd take the bathrobe.

"Manipulate" is such a broad term, who's to say the user couldn't manipulate water into a portal to another dimension or something equally awesome? Plus you could make a ton of money by holding fresh water ransom or converting seawater into drinkable water.

Bullet Magnet 12-02-2012 02:55 PM

You could drill holes with it. Everyone likes holes.

Vyrien 12-02-2012 03:00 PM

Exactly. You can't drill holes with The One Ring or a magic pillow.

Bullet Magnet 12-02-2012 05:12 PM

No need. They come with their own holes.

Your pillow has a hole in it?


I... uhhh... You know what? I don't need to know the answer.

Bullet Magnet 12-03-2012 07:20 AM

I kind of figured that the magic pillow would...

Mac Sirloin 12-03-2012 08:57 AM

Fuck robot wars, now I want to have a robe at war. Controlling water is cool, but you know what's cooler? Conjured weaponry made of piss.

Sekto Springs 12-03-2012 11:05 AM

You'd be that supervillain all the other supervillains would avoid at parties.

mr.odd 12-04-2012 08:03 PM

I'd take the one ring, but it doesn't say anything about actually controlling its power. It just says it won't corrupt you. You still have a good chance of getting stabbed by ring wraiths or something.

But then again... You can turn invisible with it...

Fuck it. I'm taking the ring.

Bullet Magnet 12-05-2012 09:30 AM

Of all superpowers, invisibility must surely be the most corrupting.

Wings of Fire 12-05-2012 09:31 AM

Second after charm, I reckon.

Sekto Springs 12-05-2012 10:08 AM

I can only ever imagine using invisibility for generally evil/sleazy purposes.

Bullet Magnet 12-05-2012 10:31 AM

I'd use it to survive being shot by lasers that use the visible spectrum.

mr.odd 12-05-2012 11:00 AM

You could use it for self defense. Hard to hit a guy you can't see.

On the other hand, an episode of the X Files starts off with a guy wishing for invisibility off a genie and loving it for all of five minutes before he gets hit by a car.

I NEED TO SPREAD REP AROUND BEFORE I +REP YOU AGAIN.

I actually laughed at that more than I'd usually be prepared to admit to myself.

Nepsotic 12-16-2012 12:58 PM

I want the pillow. You all know why.

Havoc 12-16-2012 02:04 PM

I'm torn between the pillow and the pill. Probably gonna use the pill to reincarnate as the sexiest female alive and make huge piles of money by having sex with guys everywhere. And it doubles my lifespan, which is kinda cool.

JayDee 12-18-2012 02:10 AM

Wisdom toilet. I come up with all my crap ideas on the shitter.

Varrok 12-18-2012 03:33 AM

So you already have one. Why bother asking for another?

Vyrien 12-18-2012 05:03 AM

One upstairs and one downstairs?

hedjeroo 12-18-2012 06:56 AM

I've been considering this one for a while, and I realised that all of them will make you want the other ones. I can just see myself sitting on that toilet and thinking "well fuck, I wish I'd taken the ring".

I see far too many flaws in the pill to take that. Not all deaths being predictable, have to take it when you're going to die, all memories upon birth could be horrendously disturbing... You get the idea.

Actually all things considered, I think I'd take the bath robe. Most inconspicuous, most stylish without being taken away from me for being a weapon, and also freaking awesome. Manipulating water gives you control over all life too, you know. You can do both beautiful and destructive things with that power. And, you know, it's going to be a lot easier to keep hold of the bath robe than it is to keep hold of the suit or mech.

Could argue a lot of the same things for the ring, but other people have brought up good arguments for not taking it too. Invisibility is corrupting, ring wraiths, plus rings are pretty easy to lose. And I sort of know what I'm getting with the bath robe: far as I know the ring doesn't have fully documented power.

Xavier 12-27-2012 02:42 AM

The ring... hold on... yeah, definitely the ring.

Queen Skillya 12-28-2012 01:35 AM

Robot Wars. I miss seeing that show on Tech TV SO FREAKING MUCH!

P.S. It was really hard to choose though! I want all of 'em!
