Subject: So a family member is kidnapped by a known serial killer...

Nahman Jayden, Eff bee eye. I herd that you're the origammy killah...

About 24 hours after the disappearance, you recieve a letter in the mail telling you to go to a place nearby to save them. You drive to this place to find an abandoned building.

You find a cup on the table that has blue liquid in it. A note next to the cup says, "This cup contains a poison that will kill you in exactly one hour. If you decide to drink the liquid, you will recieve the address where (insert name here) has been hidden on this GPS. You will have enough time to see your family member and say goodbye, but then you will die. If you refuse, the person will die a painful death. Make your choice now."

A clock on the other side of the room begins counting down from a minute to 0. There are hundreds of cameras in the room, so you can't sly your way out of this one.

What would you do in this situation?

I would give the cup to my relative to drink.

  • 12.02.2012 6:13 PM PDT

"Oh god heart attack, I am dying ahh," and then I would run away.

"Life is constantly fleeting from your grasp even from the very day it's bestowed upon you, but the shadow of death is always there, waiting for its chance to take you away."

"Even though many may not think so, ignorance and innocence are one and the same. The only difference is that one sounds nicer."

"I once knew a man who spent his entire life contemplating where we go after our death....it's a shame he realized it a second too late to tell anyone."

I'm afraid i'd have to walk away...no harsh feelings toward whoever died, but i've got too much to live for, and too many more important people who'd miss me if I were to leave.

ah, a heavy rain senario. I'd do exactly what I did in my playthrough and do it... I'd then find out that ______ is thee origami killer, and live happily ever after with my family

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Also, my XBL Gamertag is 'Wenggh', not 'A Stolen Fruit'.

Drink the poison but don't swallow it, once he tells me the address, I spit out the poison and go to save him!

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

Do I have to do stupid button prompts too, OP?

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my brother go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Depends on the family member.

I honestly wouldn't care if it was a distant relative, but if it's anyone close to me, I've got a way to beat the odds.

However, let me start off by saying that, unfortunately, if worse came to worse, I'd choose to not die. Why? Because if I drankt the liquid, and these people really have been taken by a killer they will die anyway after I die.

There's no point in causing two deaths.

Now, if I really wanted to save them:

"Drink" the liquid, but store it in my mouth in such a way that my cheeks don't bulge.

Once I have the location, leave the building, spit the liquid out, got to the nearest police station or a friends house (for a gun) and go and save my family member.

If that fails, well then no matter what I choose, we were probably both going to die anyway.

I'd take a sip, and fake a swallow. I'll spit it out when no camera is looking. One SWAT team later, my family is safe.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Regurgitate the poison immediately after receiving the address.

  • 12.02.2012 6:31 PM PDT

I am assuming direct control.

I'd drink the poison, save my relative, and kill the killer all in an hour's time. If I'm going to die, that bastard is coming with me.

What's more to say but i live day by day. Never forgetting that my impact on the world isn't that important. Always waiting for the end of the day. Night is the most important. Welcome to my world you will find that the sun is unimportant.

I did take a magic trick class, so i will just hide it in my pant leg.
