What would you do if you were "erased"

[MrMixelPixel]

I suppose I'd try to convince friends and family that this has happened to me. I have my memories and what not. Hopefully that'd cause something good to happen.

JERRY: You know, this is like that Twilight Zone where the guy wakes up, and he?s the same - but everyone else is different!
KRAMER: Which one?
JERRY: They were all like that!

I would just restart my life I guess. Maybe when I was younger I would've taken it as a sign that I should move on elsewhere. But now I have a kid, I couldn't just leave him, even if he didn't recognize me. Now I think I would try and get reacquainted with the people I really like. There are certain people I know very well who could easily befriend again.

Open an account for "Evil Smurf" on the Escapist and make a thread about the topic.

 

[KoudelkaMorgan]

My life would change very very little, sadly.

 

[Mr Dizazta]

I wonder how many people's mind's immediately jumped to "become an assassin."

What with the whole no family ties or anything to hold you back or be a liability, and you're completely off the grid.

As for me... I guess help Arnold Schwarzenegger track down a shipment of portable railguns.

You sir read my fucking mind. That or become a superhero after training.

 

[Morsomk_v1legacy]

Which life are you talking about, my place among the humans, my zigzagoon life or both? Because I'm pretty sure I wouldnt want to be alive if all the Zigzagoons in my pack would deny my existance. 'tis fate worse then death.

I guess could always go to some trainer...I'd most likely end up as a HM slave, but ohh well, atleast I'd be fed.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

I would scrape together some cash doing odd jobs and whatnot, get language books and teach myself a few European languages. Then fly to Europe and travel until settling down somewhere.

Sounds uninteresting, I know, but it's always been my plan B if I ever end up stuck in a life I hate.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I probably try to lived a new life but in saying so I know if that were to happen I will be simple become a homeless man.

 

[The_Echo]

Y'know, my social links aren't exactly at max rank, so... I could just restart my social life.

But all my accounts?

All that work... all of my unnoticed contribution to Internet forums! I wouldn't be able to handle it.

 

[Esotera]

Probably break into CERN naked and insist that I'm a time traveller from the future and they have to stop the experiment. Nobody would be able to trace who I was so I'd at least start some conspiracy theories...

On a serious note I'd probably just start over somewhere, maybe move to another country as the UK is hopelessly overpopulated.

 

[Naeras]

I would start at another university and do the STUDANT LYFE-thing from the beginning again.

If you are "erased" it means that all your accounts everywhere (including your bank account) are wiped and inaccessible, your phone number leads nowhere, and all your friends, family, coworkers,etc. don't recognize you. What would you do?

Start a new life, most likely in the underworld as I would have issues starting a new business without proper identification or credit. I would probably be a bit upset at the loss of my fiance and friends, but outside of that I live a fairly invisible life anyhow.

I would probably move towards fencing or money laundering. I tend to be great with money and business, so it would be a natural fit. I would consider being an assassin for the excitement, but I don't know how I would handle killing people without having a just cause (according to my own ideas of just cause) so it wouldn't be as great of a fit.

If I had to go with a legal life, I'd have to go live among the shamans in South America. I enjoy living off of the land, and I've always been quite spiritual. It would be a major adjustment for me though, as I love technology.

To everyone who thinks they could go on a criminal rampage and the government couldn't do anything, nope. You'd be in the same position as an illegal immigrant, it's not like the police is going to just let you go if they can't find any record on you.

I guess could always go to some trainer...I'd most likely end up as a HM slave, but ohh well, atleast I'd be fed.

Well, if you have Pickup ability, you can get work that way. I'd often keep one of your relatives on my team for just that. At least until you had the great idea to only pick up items matching your level, so that you'd be trained. Bloody unions.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

Pick up a backpack somehow, walk forlorn down a country road and hum the theme to Incredible Hulk's credits as I hitchhike my way through a world gone mad... I'd only wish for "the other guy" to be present to make it complete.

I would do this. Or become a deckhand on a ship, so I could travel while having a place to sleep and an income.

 

[Wickatricka]

Probably help myself to my liquor cabinet then wake up naked in a field 3 days later with a deers head in my mouth or maybe that already happened I'm not sure...

 

[GundamSentinel]

I wouldn't lose very much from that, to be honest. I'd go walk the Earth and do things people told me I shouldn't. I wouldn't feel too bad about it.
