Poll: Would You Become a Ghost?

[Irony's Acolyte]

I can't interact with the living? Then HELL NO! What's the point of being a ghost if you can't do some good old fashion haunting? You'd just be existing without being able to do anything, that is a fate worse than death (and you're already dead). I'd rather move on.

But if I could interact with the living... ;P

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I'd move on. I wouldn't want to be stuck here any longer than necessary.

 

[Doclector]

With those extreme limitations, I'd rather move on. I'd hate to be so restricted for an uncertain amount of decades, or centuries.

Me too. However, if I were able to haunt people, the prospect of becoming a local urban legend would be to much to resist. XD

 

[AloriD]

only if i could be like danny phantom =P

*thumbs up*

 

[interspark]

It sounds like a pretty boring ghostlike existence. I'd rather take my chances with oblivion.

REALLY?? infinity on your own in the darkness, never ending, never progressing? heck i'd rather spend an eternity working in McDonalds then face a 0.001% chance of THAT!

 

[Serenegoose]

If it's oblivion, I won't be there to see it. After all, I don't remember any eternity of torment before I was born.

 

[interspark]

...I'm already a ghost
...
Boo?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGHH!!!!!!!!

do you remember anything from before you were born? if not then theres a chance that thats oblivion

 

[Rhymenoceros]

Aww thats no fun, whats the point in being a ghost if you can't scare people. DO NOT WANT.

you could peep at girls changing for thousands of years?

I am a girl. If I want to see girls changing I can just go to the gym.

*blushes* my bad

Aww its ok *pats* easy mistake to make....

Especially with a name like Girl With One Eye.
That names so deceptive about your gender!

Also: I wouldn't with those limitations. Maybe if I could move with more freedom and interact a bit I'd stick around

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGHH!!!!!!!!

...Are people seriously that scared of ectoplasmic beings?

Well, if there is an I, alone and senseless in the black void, for all the time since the big bang until I was born and attached to a human body.... 12 billion years, I'm fairly sure I'd recall that. Since I don't, I can pretty safely assume there won't be an I at the other side either to experience oblivion. It's not a comforting thought now but I'm sure it's not going to worry me overmuch afterwards, and it sounds better than several millenia being tormented by my inability to really interact with the universe.

you see im not so sure of that, without a brain, how would you remember and recall that? perhaps, prior to birth, we are creatures free of worry, regret or concern? or maybe being born wipes your spiritual memory banks clean and gives you a fresh start, who knows? the possibilities are endless!

 

[no one really]

Hmmm... You can only interact with other ghosts...
If you can't scare the **** out of a normal passerby, then where's the fun?
I would move on.

I can tell you from experience, being born wipes memories clean.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

I would only be a ghost if I looked something like this:

Spoiler

Scaring the crap out of people would be awesome.


EDIT: You said you can float around, so that does mean people can see you?

Spoiler

Looking like this as a ghost wouldn't be bad either.

Exactly what I was thinking, although I'd rather not have the sex change.

 

[teebeeohh]

starcraft question? i think the dominion just grabs you straight out of your racecar bed if you are...

oh those ghost

no

 

[DocBalance]

As a ghost I get to do...nothing?

Yep, I"m moving on.

 

[Tdc2182]

If there is one thing Harry Potter has taught me, its that being a ghost sucks. I would much rather move on.

Edit: Also, figuring out that there is something else after life would have me extremely excited. I never really dug the idea of being a ghost either. It looks like it would be really.... cold. I don't like being cold.

 

[P-mac]

A regular ghost? ...maybe, so long as I'm a full body apparition, not some energy orb that just floats around, doing nothing.

A Starcraft Ghost? HELLZ YEAH I'd love to nuke anyone who pisses me off.
