Subject: An Experiment for The Flood(Blow up the boat)

I was thinking about the Dark Knight earlier and that scene with the two boats.

I was thinking, the flood in put into two threads, split into two. If you are put into one thread, you can not enter the other.

At midnight there is a 20% chance the flood will be shut down for ever unless the they ban every one in the other thread, then the people in the remaining thread would be okay.

Only one person can have the ban button at a time in each thread but it can be passed around.

What do you think would happen?
And what would you do?

I think most everyone would hit the button, seeing as everyone in the other thread could just make alts.

Lets say for this example, there is no way they can ever get back on the

I don't see anything about the bans being permanent so it is no big deal.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

We don't have time for this, Jesse, we need to cook.

I would not press it.

But would people from the other thread do the same?

Well it depends, in the movie the other boat was full of criminals, would the equivalent be a thread of Roses and John Cenas? If so, then yeah, I'd hit the button.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

We put the alts and super-trolls into one thread, and the much smarter people, who actually contribute to discussion, in the other thread.
When we get the ban button, we immediately press it.
This would make the Flood a much better place.

That could go either way, unfortunately. Knowing the internet, it'd be a contest between the two people who get the button to see who could push it first. And, knowing the internet,the winner would probably be determined by some sort of glitch in the system that happened to go wrong right as it started.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

I ban everyone, because nobody in the flood has a life.

Of course, we're an army of undead.

Just kidding, we're all Achronos's alts.
