Would You Survive?

[Posher778]

We've played a variation of this game before, but it was a year or so ago. Basically, person one poses a torture (in the same book as the Saw movies. Aka, one that has a goal, of which upon reaching the victim will survive, but with some form of consequence.) Person 2's job is to honestly answer whether they would be able to complete the horrifying challenge and live, or suffer and die. Answer truthfully.

I'll start with a simple one:


You wake up in a chair with a strange metal device on your head. There are numbers 1-5 written on your left hand fingers. You must use the razor in your right hand to slice off the fingers in the order of the numbers within 3 minutes, or the metal device will clamp shut, slowly squeezing your brains until they drip out your ears.

Live or die? Make your choice.

[massacre man]

Sure. I'd rather keep my fingers than my head.

I don't know how this would logically work, but fuck you, I'm doing it anyway.

You wake up laying face-down on a table with a hole for the face (like the massage chairs, but metal). You're strapped down with a piercing pain in your back. The television monitor under your face turns on and the doll tells you there is a clamping device attached directly to your spine. You can either take it out by unscrewing it with your one hand and live life crippled or wait for the timer to go off at which point the device is torn out, along with your spine and more than likely your skull.

I think I'd rather live. I know many disagree but I think a life paralyzed is better than no life at all.



You wake up and you're hanging upside down above a large container of broken glass and salt. Next to you is one of your grandparents, hanging upside down. There are two buttons on a small pack hanging next to you. One, and they will drop and you will be lifted to safety, the other will do the reverse.

Live, or die?

[Posher778]

Live... It's a grandparent. I know that they'd tell me to save myself anyway. My grandparents are selfless.

I can't think of one at the moment cause i'm running downstairs, someone else feel free.

[massacre man]

Okay. How about this one. For dudes I guess. Oddest thing I could think of.

You wake up chained in an airplane. Your best friend is sitting next to you in the same situation, passed out. He tells you that the two of you are heading to an island. One of you will be forced to become feminized and work as a sex slave for secretly gay drug lord on a foreign island who doesn't want his secret getting out. The other will be sent home but closely monitored so you don't speak of what happened.

Since you woke up first, you have the choice of which one of you stays and which one of you goes.

I think it'd have to be my friend. I am honestly not that selfless.

You're in your house, watching TV. Suddenly, someone appears on the television. They tell you that as long as you keep your eyes perfectly fixed to the screen (which will soon become static), for 24 hours, you will live. If you don't you die. Would you believe them or not and risk looking away? They haven't referred to you by name.

I have cable, I'm going to bed dude.


You get into your car, turn the engine on and a CD starts playing.
It is directions to 3 places around town.
It tells you that at each stop without turning off the ignition that you must do exactly what is described in 30 minutes or the bomb planted in your car will be detonated. You also only have 30 minutes to each killstop.Instruments of destuction have been put in the back seat.
Cut the doorman's head off with a hacksaw at #1 destination

5'10 male in red hoody at #2 destination, (surgically sharp machete) hack off left arm below the elbow, then the right the same way , hack off right leg above kneecap then the left leg right under the kneecap and then cut his throat in a perfect semi- circle left to right- must do this in order

Person #3 will be female, an old girlfriend or friend you used to care a great deal about but just lost touch with.
She would have to be strangled with piano wire till dead.

I think what I'd probably do is get out the car, pretending I'm about to do it, then RUN. I'd try and get to a police station and see about a witness protection programme. I'm not going back to my house if they've already got in my car.


You wake up in a chair in a sealed off room. The chair is sitting on some conrete, just above some water like stuff. Across the liquid is a door. A voice tells you that you can either wait in the room until it fills with flames which will kill you, or you can wade through the liquid, which he has now revealed is in fact sulphuric acid, to the door, and escape to safety. The acid is about waist height.

Live, or die?
