You have a deadly new disease...

[Rednog]

Question why do you have no contact with anyone you know?
I mean I assume the scientists are doing the tests in some way shape or form by contact with you, why couldn't people you know have contact through the same means.
Hell the internet exists, skype, telephones etc.

I'd go with option 2 assuming they keep me mildly amused during non testing time. If we're talking like constant testing then the go hug everyone on the streets might seem tempting.

2, and I'd become very good friends with the scientists over those ten years.

2.Become a lab rat and let scientists run all sorts of experiments on you so that they can find a cure for the disease. You will have no contact with anyone you know while the experiments go on. The scientists will find a cure for it but it will take 10 years. After that you will be able to live a normal life again.

3.Go live on a island all by yourself. You will have contact with no one for the rest of your life. Luckily the island you will live on is somewhat magical and can create any food or drink that you want, all you have to do is ask for it. This island will have electricity but it does not have internet and you cannot make calls on it. You can bring any items that you want to this island even if you don't own them right now but you won't be able to get any new things once you are on the island. Again there will be the possibility of the disease manifesting in someone else causing people to die because there is no cure for it yet. There will be a house for you to live in on the island when you get there.

So, which option do you choose?

2 and 3 are the only ones I'd even consider.

The lab would be less lonely and seeing as you are doing such a great service, I assume you would be provided with things you want, it really depends on the level of friendliness and perks I get while living in the lab, if they paid me a salary then I'd just consider it my job and get out and be a retired hero at age thirty, not bad.

BUT

If the lab was very strict and the experiments painful then I'd probably take the island, I'd just think of a LOT of stuff to bring at first so it would keep me busy, it would suck not getting anything new and being cut off from contact for life but living alone in paradise would beat ten years of agonizing pain.

You can't have contact with people you know because the scientists don't know how long it will take to find a cure for the disease and they think that at some point you will want to stop the experiments. They think that if that happens and you're in contact with people you know who aren't a part of the experiments then you would probably tell them that you want to stop and then those people might start trying to get you out of it which would cause problems for the scientists. So the no contact thing is really just a precaution the scientists are taking.

 

[Guffe]

Either 2 or 3.
I mean sure I'd like to live normally and costing me 10 years, sure I'd do it, then I think I would understand the joy of living better.

number 3, eternity of food and drinking that I always want????!!!!!!!!! ö.Ö MAGIC ISLAND HERE I COME!

 

[KiloFox]

i would first tell those close to me (that don't live across the country) to stay away for the next few months, but i'll keep in contact, i'll also explain why because it's annoying to hear "just trust me"... i'll then travel to major cities and basically live it up, coming into contact with thousands of people. and i'll make a point to get into contact with those that just piss me off. this will force the cure to be made quickly i can go about my happy life... made even happier by my efforts of ridding the world of thousands of unnecessary people and a DAMN good amount of douche-bags and dumbasses.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Err there is a contridiction to option 4- You said millions will die but the diesease itself is pass on when that person is in close proximity of me. So shouldn't isolate me and the corpses will prevent the wide scale spread?

OT- Either 2 or 3.
With 2, I will only become their lab rat if only they provide a space for me to live in (it could be an small enclose area since it will drive me made out from boredom) and also provide food, games, tv and internet etc. Also within the experiment they cannot inflict pain on me unless they give me painkillers or ways to numb. I mean afterall they are still treating me as a human being by asking for my permission to be their experiement.

While I cannot fully agree with option 3 (I want my internet and at least view or keep up to date with the rest of the world even if I cannot make contact) but I can see myself living there as a mad hermit.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I'll go with option two, but only under the condition i get to name the disease.

Then I'll pick some popular girls name like Rachel or Marie or something to that affect. Just cause i think it would be funny.

 

[Hitokiri_Gensai]

I totally go on a world wide trip to visit everyone i possible can within 20 hours. xD

Go population control! xD

hahahahaha joking. Although itd be interesting.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Ah crap. Well, hello deserted island. I will leave behind a legacy of novels, poems and funny things I wanted to be posted on the internet.

 

[krazykidd]

Option 1 , easy choice , i kill myself , don't have to worry about hurting others and if the disease manifest itself again at any point it won't be my fault since i'm dead .

( i'm candian so i'm always doing the nice thing)

 

[Stryc9]

I'd go visit Congress and Wall Street, and then maybe Hollywood. If enough rich, influential and famous people have it they'll have a cure for everyone in less than a week, problem solved.

 

[iseko]

just hook me up with a pc, fast internet connection and swtor. Then you can take as much blood as you want! Just leave me just enough so i have the strength to click on the mouse and get a boner from time to time.

But seriously... I'd go for lab rat. I'm a researcher by profession. So i'm allready in a lab most of the day.

 

[Dogstile]

I could take three months continuing my life as normal. I'd just drop out of uni and work from home. Simple really. That way the only people who can possibly die are neighbors and people walking by the house.

I hate most of those people, so fair enough.

 

[Crazy_Dude]

Go to the nearest airport and make sure to hug as many people as I can.

 

[CrystalShadow]

I'd probably pick 2 or 3.

Although option three is quite improbable... If I can literally take anything I want to the island, there's a decent list of things I could take...

Probably not enough to last an entire lifetime without getting bored, but it's better than killing myself.

Option 2 is the most realistic.
Being a test subject is hardly going to be pleasant, especially given the infection risk.
But at least there's some minimal contact with others...
And hopefully they'll let me do some things between tests...

 

[dave1004]

I would spread it in hopes of a cure being made much, much faster. I'm a dick like that, I guess. Ah, well, whatever...

 

[imnot]

Oh I alreayd got a new deadly disease!

[HEADING=1]COMMUNISM[/HEADING]

I choose the last option, if I have communism, everyone must have communism equaly

 

[ImperialSunlight]

4. Because I am a bastard and proud of it. The world is overpopulated anyway and doing it carefully could work quite in my favour...

Option 1 , easy choice , i kill myself , don't have to worry about hurting others and if the disease manifest itself again at any point it won't be my fault since i'm dead .

Not all of us are nice people...
