What If?

[murmurlade]

It'd go dry in less than a few hours.
What if Diana fell ill? o.0

[Lemon Cheesecake]

oh no - curses on you! don't even say that!I'd be so sad! <she has been ill and still worked on Windlyn, btw, check out some past logs>

what if everyone had green hair ?

[Kyndreth]

We'd all be fairies. Or we'd have no one using hair-color as an identifying trait.

What if... there was no gender/sex?

[Lemon Cheesecake]

how would we reproduce? Would we be like those science fiction movies where there is no gender- like what was that star trek one where "she" falls in love with Riker?

what if... there was no power for weeks? (thinking of Kit having no power)

[Kyndreth]

We'd have to rise with the sun, and go to bed when night falls. And, if it was me, I'd actually have to go out and take walks.

What if... you only had seven days left to live?

[murmurlade]

I would probably commit many, many crimes.
and run away from home so I don't involve my family

What if the weather completely turned upside down where you live?

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I'd be writing a lot of thank you letters! ( my answer to having 7 days left - Mur beat me to it!)

The weather has turned upside down this year - but do you mean we'd actually get snow!?!?!? SO cool!

what if there was no pasteurized food?

[murmurlade]

hahahahaaha. the different people answering...
yes, snow! fun.

we'd probably have loads of food getting spoiled? im not sure.

what if the sun disappeared?

[Kyndreth]

We'd all die from the issue of heat and the lack of photosynthesis. If the sun disappeared it'd also effect the gravitational pulls and orbits of the earth. Earth would probably become an icy ball that gets slingshotted out of orbit.

What if.. magic was real?

[murmurlade]

I quite liked your answer.. the visual image of a frozen earth getting hurled to the corner of the universe was very amusing.

Erm. Harry Potter, basically.

What if we were all immortal, but lost the ability to reproduce?

[Kyndreth]

We'd take the Elven way out, assuming that's still possible, if it's not we'd probably entertain ourselves in all sorts of hedonistic ways. Some immortals would get trampled by the stronger, some would go insane, some will do nothing but fight, and some immortals would go cloister themselves off somewhere and live peaceful hermit lives. People in love with learning will set out to conquer the mysteries of the earth and space and we'd probably slowly spread out across the galaxy doing whatever was possible to ease the boredom.

Revolutions are about to get very interesting. Humanity will advance in torture techniques and human cruelty will be rather astounding to see now that we can't die but can still hate each other's guts. Death penalty will be meaningless, but there will be so many more ways for people to be punished. Immortals would group up depending on their ideals and form nations and so begins the eternal war or an uneasy cease-fire.

Human mental states will probably deteriorate as human minds try to cope with emotional scars that build up in their lifetime. Happiness will be harder to reach until people learn to find a different sort of enlightenment and serenity. It'd be a new age with unparalleled heights and a deep shadow. When you live too long, life can grow very painful.

What if... this site suddenly got an influx of a hundred very active members in one day?

[murmurlade]

.......that was a heavy load man.
er. the forums would be too active, the server might crash, but we'd all be very happy i think.

what if the concept of monopolies didn't exist and all markets were in perfect competition?

[Kyndreth]

What was a heavy load?
Oh, server load, yup


Prices would be pretty good for all of us I'd say. Unfortunately, economics isn't one of my things. Maybe what this says?

What if there was no internet.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

then we'd have to go back to "the way things were".

I think I remember the highest on here at one time was 65? can't say that was all active members or "robots"

what if telemarketing was considered a crime and you could report the robot calls and actually never have them call again?

[murmurlade]

it wouldn't affect me, since ive never had a telemarketer call ^^;

what if every single inanimate object became sentient?
