Current Events > You die.. Instead of nothing/afterlife, you choose New Game+ [Seconds game/poll]

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is it, you're passing away on your deathbed surrounded by loved ones. Or you just met a brutal end in a freak accident. Perhaps took you've just taken your own life. Or you die of natural causes peacefully in your sleep. Whatever the case, you're dead, and now you figure out what the fuck happens to you, rather your "spirit" or consciousness, when you meet your end. Before you start flying out of your body into your new ghost form, or ascend towards pearly white gates, or accept a new state of eternal nothingness, all you see before you are the tangible words "New Game+"... you reach out towards it, and begin your do over in life....

SECONDS GAME! Post and figure out by the last digit of the seconds of your time stamp what perk you get in your do over of your life. Oh and go ahead and pick in the poll what you personally would want. Unless specified otherwise you do not remember your past life and may not necessarily end up living the exact same life if your perk kicks in later in life as opposed to from birth.

0. Before you New Game+, your spirit gets 24 hours to write as much wisdom about your life in a 20 page standard college ruled paged notebook that will be magically delivered to you at age 14 (typical age of new high school freshman). You live the exact same first 14 years of your life as you would before up til receiving your past self's notes.

1. You can choose any single sport or hobby to guarantee yourself to be a talented prodigy in your New Game+. Your gifts become apparent by age 6 and you have the skill to be world renowned in whatever single talent you select.

2. In your New Game+ you stumble upon a mysterious yet handsome fortune by random chance. A legit bank account is opened in your name yielding $1,000,000 to do with as you please at the age of 21.

3. Before you start your New Game+ you take as much time as possible to figure out what physical and internal/personality traits would closest make up your ideal "perfect" significant other. In your New Game+, you are guaranteed to eventually meet that person, fall in love with each other, and marry/be with that person for the rest of your life.

4. In your New Game+, you discover by age 10 that may call upon your past self once a month to give you wisdom using your past self's experiences. You can interact and talk with your past self like a living spirit that no one else can see. Your spirit will only answer questions you ask and impart wisdom you seek. Each summoning lasts up to 2 minutes. Within that time if someone else is in your immediate vicinity where they can see you, your spirit vanishes.

5. In your New Game+ you're granted the ability to read the minds of others. You can use the ability 10 times per day. You will clearly be able to hear whatever the other person is thinking. All focus and concentration will be needed to mind read, meaning you cannot multitask while mind reading. The minute you break concentration, that constitutes as one mind reading.

6-9 continued in next post...

6. In your New Game+ you're granted the ability to freeze time. Every second you spend in your frozen time state will be subtracted from your actual life span. Any change done by you in your frozen time state will not be immediately recognized by others (for example if you end up in a different location when you unfreeze time, people will assume you arrived in your new location and left your previous location by natural causes they didn't realize). The first 24 accrued hours of frozen time doesn't subtract from your life span.

7. In your New Game+ you realize you have the ability to "reset" experiencing something for the first time. This applies to any kind of experience, and you go through a sort of "are you sure? ARE YOU REALLY SURE?" warning prompt before erasing your experience. Once you erase a first time experience, it cannot be undone.

8. You can choose your ideal body height and the ideal length and girth of your penis in the New Game+. You will finish growing in both height and penis size by age 16.

9. In your New Game+ you live with neither physical or mental illness throughout your entire life and guarantee the same for all of your offspring. You also predetermine a single loyal and easily trainable pet that will live its max life span with you.

1. You can choose any single sport or hobby to guarantee yourself to be a talented prodigy in your New Game+. Your gifts become apparent by age 6 and you have the skill to be world renowned in whatever single talent you select.

My hobby is going to be finding buried treasure and artifacts. A "tomb interloper" or "tomb spelunker," if you will.

I already have 1,2,3
4 is lame
5 is useless unless you're trying to get laid,
6 is good for a few things.
7 useless
8 useless
9 is actually a good perk if you've lived a life like that.

I wish this was real :( I want a do over
---

I'd go with being amillionare at age 21

Show
Me

So close.

got 5. sounds good to me
---

Post

To me, 0 and 1 would be the most logical and useful choices, while 6 would be the coolest and most fun. 8 would be by far the most useless. All right, let's shuffle up and test my luck.

EDIT: Sweet, now I can stop time and make JoJo references about it.
---

Want 1

Awwww, 3 :(
---

The million dollars and mind reading sound the most useful. The time freeze is risky. The ideal mate sounds like the most fun.

But I'd probably want the past self wisdom thing the most just cuz it sounds the coolest.

post
---

Dammit, I got mind reading. I mean it'd be super useful and I could find a way to take advantage of it for stuff but man. It's the most like... "obvious" one.
---

Also, like, awesome topic, TC! Really well done.

Edit: havent read the rest but got 9 and I think I won

Cool, that's similar to one of my biggest wishes anyway.

edit: 9

I'm ok with this

though honestly, everyone wins
---

I'd pick 1, 3 or 9 but lets see what I actually get

No depression, anxiety and other nonsense and I get a cool pet probably pick a bird or dog

Got 00: write notes to myself based on my life experiences. I then relive the exact same 14 years

No thanks, my early life was a hell that I'd rather not repeat even with the world's most detailed notes.

Read the rest of them. Fuck, I feel robbed. 0 is legit the most useless of them all. Why the fuck would anyone even want this? I mean, hell, there's a better version of this same thing in option 4
---

hmmm
---

Hmm posting
---

Post
---

toast

I would choose 1.

I graduated the same year as Kobe Bryant. I could go srtaight to the NBA and make millions.

Should've had a bad option to spice it up

Actually option 0 is very different in that your first life self gets to impart all of your first life wishes and wisdom into a notebook as heads up for the New Game+ you. In option 4, although the possibility of more knowledge acquired is there through continuous monthly summoms over time, your New Game+ life can only ask questions and receive answers, your spirit cant just go on spouting as much info is it knows in rapid speed.

Also thanks for participating folks! Glad some of you all enjoyed it. I'm counting this as my roll. I promise it's the first time looking at my seconds from my posts so far >___>

roll: fuck this is worst one
---

goodnight bump
---

Please be 3!

7. Eh.
---

#7 is something I've always wished I could do. Even my favorite story-heavy RPGs, TV shows, and movie series are really had to rewatch.

#4 would be the most useful and interesting imo.

Let's see what I get...

Shitty :( Would have preferred 1, 3, or 4.
---

Let's see

4 isn't all that bad. It could certainly be used for some investment opportunities.

3 would be my pick if it was at 18, but on my 21st birthday I wasn't in a good place. That money would be trouble, So timestop is my top pick
