Kurado has to choose

I picked the languages. Dude, do you know how much cash I'll rake in as a translator? Plus I'm not gay. Lucrative government contracts here I come!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The phoenix. I could travel wherever I wanted and always have a companion, not to mention the healing effects of phoenix tears and the ability to start a campfire wherever I pleased. Hell, maybe I could sell the phoenix tears and offer transportation services to people for an extortionate price.

Languages I can learn if I wish. Even in good health, 100 is not an age I hope to see. I would have chosen the fame and fortune (+early death) but I abhor the idea of being famous; I would rather not be hounded by the press and manic fans for the remaining years of my life. I was sorely tempted by the money, but where's the fun in that? I'd get bored.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

10 mil. Why?

So I can finally help out people.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

KURADO HAS CHOSEN...

...ten million dollars. With that money and my copy of a Death Note, I'd be able to not only fund a harem of mudkips and other assorted Pokemon, but live as a God for well past my prime. But for now I'd probably just buy a house, a car, and a mail-order bride.


YES.

I was speaking idiomatically.

10 million dollars no questions ?
Invest 5 million, spend only the interest throughout rest of life.

The rest...
1 million will be spent on big breasted sluts and hookers.
1 million on food.
1 million on drink.
1 million on travel.
1 million given to charity of some sort (gotta get into heaven somehow 0

How ya doing, buddy?

I'd rather spend the time learning seven languages rather than be blessed with instant mastery.

As cool as Fawkes is, I'm not much of a bird person. And the people who have passed have passed for a reason (or so they tell me) so why attempt to disturb them?

Living to a healthy 100 means you get to live and watch as all of your friends and family die around you. Right. Sounds like a blast. I'll pass. WAAAAAY too long a time to live, anyway.

The outrageous amount of money with guaranteed death between 50 and 55 is ideal except for the "fame" part. That's just an unnecessary hassle.


Which leaves the $10 million, no questions asked.

I'd never be able to blow through all that cash being as though my wants are relatively modest (for the most part), so I could travel and - believe it or not - go back to school just for the hell of it.

FELIPE NO

10 mil, no doubt. Spend it all in making a company or something that prints money so I get even more filthy and more rich.

7 Languages is nice, but with 10 million I'm pretty sure I can get some pretty good tutors.

A magical bird is great and all but I'm thinking sooner or later someone with the bird will get stuck between in a situation where only money can dig them out, lets barter.

Living to 100, nah, on one hand, thats way too long and while I may be in great health and all, but there was nothing said about wrinkles and the like, I don't want to be an old prune. On the other hand, if my company takes off maybe I can have them find some way to artifically prolong my life, pills or something of that sort.

Money and fame, I don't like fame, never really like the spotlight.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

A few explanations. I'd forgotten I even made this last night.

Fawkes the Phoenix. You can thank Wikipedia for the info although IT MAY BE INACCURATE.

Quote:

Fawkes is an intensely magical creature, possessing a number of magical abilities, the precise extent of which are unknown. Phoenix tail feathers are suitable for inclusion in some wands; Fawkes himself provided the feathers for both Lord Voldemort's and Harry Potter's wands. Tame phoenixes are very rare and he serves as proof of Albus Dumbledore's abilities and character. Fawkes is a herbivore.

Whenever Fawkes dies, whether it be by violence or old age, he bursts into flame and is promptly reborn out of the ashes as a baby phoenix. As an adult he's about swan-sized and quite beautiful, but infant stage Fawkes has the appearance of a newborn chicken and in his geriatric stages he has dull, limp plumage.

Plus the fucker can just teleport to you! Fawkes version of the phoenix, anyway. He can also carry your ass around in flight.
The Heavenly guarantee originally (of course no one could have known this but the poll options don't allow a lot of space and I was slightly off when I made it) meant that you wouldn't die from a random freak accident, you wouldn't get knocked out by something like a heart attack, a disease like cancer, etc. So the guarantee covers the shit that's basically out of our control for the most part. What you do with your end of the deal is solely up to you.

But some of you have turned it into some sort of temporary immortality with the stunts (sexual and physical) you'd take.! And I kinda like that =o! So you can decide either way.

And I'd be a legend forever.

Though fame and seemingly unlimited money is the last choice I'd take of the five, this is the best way to pull it off. And fame, even when you're dead, at least makes you an immortal through sheer memories and the fact that your name will never die.

The languages option is pretty straight forward. I mean, how many of us here can claim PERFECT English in all areas of language? Can you imagine how long it would take you to reach your English level of language for seven others?

The money option has no trapdoors. Just what it is.

Although having a loyal, intelligent, magical creature friend at my side all my life would be cool, I'd have to go with the 100 year guarantee. I want to experience as much as I can before I die and I think I'd be able to handle my end of the deal. Once the 100 year mark is reached you'd still be in great health, but you'd have to take complete responsibility from that point on. Now, if you're motherfucking IMMORTAL until age 100, then this is the best choice by far.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'd take the 10 million. It's crazy how much stuff I'd like to do, and how much that would help me. I'd pay off my student loans, possibly consider grad school, because I'd actually have the money. I'd buy my parents a nice house, and get them (and the rest of our family) out of the shithole we live in now. I'd get a nice place to live in the nice part of NYC, and still would find the job I want in publishing, because sitting around all the time would just get boring. I'd organize so much... and probably give a lot of it to charity, because lets face it, 10 million is a lot of money, and I'm pretty sure I'd never be able to spend it all. Celebrities that complain they cant live off their salaries of so many million a year are pricks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I personally feel that the heavenly garauntee is the best option here.

It doesn't rule out the fact you can't be rich or famous, it doesn't state you wont get ten million dollars, it doesn't mean you won't have a phenoix.. HAHA.. It just says you will live to be a 100 years old in great health.. LMAO.. You could do all the other things or at least persue them with absolute health and with no fear of dieing.. So think of all the other things you could do to get those things!!

Seems like a trick question to me.. And I think I answered it correctly! Or at least I think I did..

*thinks* ten million dollars.. Or a 100 years on earth.. Hmm... I am going to pull a Homer Simpson and say... "I'll try them both out, and call you in the morning.." =(8u(l) <-- Homer Look at it sideways.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Number four for me by FAR.

No contest there. I've already considered ending my life at 40 by way of over-dosing, so to be able to guarantee the things I already desire AND live an extra ten years than I had anticipated... wow, that's just a no-brainer for me.

And Temari... ten million dollars isn't THAT much money. You wouldn't be able to live off of it for the rest of your life let alone support anyone else. You'd be surprised how quickly money goes. Especially when it's a large amount like that. People start spending carelessly.

Charity. Hah. What a joke. Not you, I mean charity. I don't trust charities for shit. I'm always too suspicious that whoever is in charge is hoarding the lot of the money.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'd take the money so I could go to school for whatever I want and become something I love that makes no money, rather than something I don't love that makes a sufficient amount of money. Plus... I've always wanted to live off interest.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Not to be greedy, but I would have to choose the 10 mill. It seems like everyone close to me is going through financial hardships (myself included, although not terribly bad) and it sucks seeing everyone struggle. Heck, I'd even be satisfied with 10 thousand.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I would pick mastering seven languages.

Culture fascinates me and learning the language of a particular culture allows you to understand more and learn more from that culture. Language ties itself into the culture that is created. Somethings can only be understood through knowing the language itself. Names do not have the same meaning if translated into another language. Mastering the language helps you see a bigger picture of the human world, its history, and its future.

Most amazing jew boots

I would pick the languages.
Imagine how many historical books you'd be able to read.
It'd be like a gateway into learning about history. Personally, I LOVE history. It'd also be great to be able to converse with almost anyone with ease. You'd definitely have lot of friends. (And probably enemies)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Language. Communication is important, and through communication you can learn about culture and philosophy and all that jazz.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

But all things considered you can learn the languages the old-fashioned way. It's a bit harder to guarantee you're going to live to 100, have a magical bird, or get 10 million dollars.

Most amazing jew boots

I picked to live to be 100 in good health, I would not be able to enjoy money if I wasn't healthy.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I chose 100 years of great health. Why? I'm good at picking up languages, have a great education, and all that good stuff. The future already looks good for me in the monetary aspect. I have an ear for language, so I could pick them up given the environment.

So I'm picking the best of the "unattainables" (in my opinion). Living to your mid-fifties and being rich/etc is all fine and dandy, but given 100 years, you could pull the same off and relish it for even longer, plus live to see your family blossom outward (hopefully).

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hmm, so the 100 years thing is in a draw with the seven languages... And the straight up money is the winner by far. Didn't really expect that.
