Makaze Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Revolutions, Woman rights, WWII. Lots of events, huh. but my country was crappy at time so nope nope nope Mmm. I was thinking of the mafia culture, prohibition era, silent film era and so on. Assuming that I can't do anything to change history, I want a life full of excitement.

Esme Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I don't think I would want to experience a period again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashiane Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Late 1800s-early 1900s, during the Industrialization age. I'd see if I couldn't make the factories they build safer and make them function better, and maybe assist with some of the inventions and whatnot. Andandand, I'd get to explore the culture and the lifestyle and... I'd get to do it all in a corset dress. [/squee] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interest Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 The Revolutionary War time period and Wahsington's presidency because I think it had a lot of people and things that were cool as fuck. Probably be a bit selective though to skip out some boring things and also not spend like 20 years of my life on it. I would say 2009 if timeline changes within reason were allowed though. Nah. That makes it a little similar to some previous questions I asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maji Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 The history of me wants to check out the mid to late 1700s in Europe, as that's when all the fun revolution-y started to happen, but the Jean Jacques Rousseau in me just wants to be a happy little monkey 9 million years ago before humanity and apes in general, swinging off trees n' shit.

eclipse Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 If we're talking "bring back a lot of money", I'd travel back exactly one year into the past, to a certain arcade in Chiba, and play IIDX until my arms were sore. If not, then I'm fine right here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interest Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) New question! Over a short period, you are approached in an alleyway by two individuals (one at a time). The first individual is a stocky man with a bludgeoning weapon of sorts who wants to mug you. The second individual is an unarmed petite woman who believes you kidnapped her child (assume she is wrong). Which individual would you be more afraid of? I have hidden my answer to this question because I want initial reactions not influenced by my answer. I would be more afraid of the woman, because she would probably attempt to chase me down with a vengeance in an attempt to exact "justice." All the man would do is take my money and leave me unscathed. Edited September 13, 2013 by Interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Neither. I am stocky myself and the adrenaline pumping through my veins would allow me to fight him off. If he is clearly too much a match for me, though, then him. read this spoiler interest what makes you think he'd leave you unscathed? Worse comes to worst, I could knock the woman out quite easily and get out of the situation completely. Before that, though, I'd let her follow me to my house with police for irrefutable proof that I don't have her child.

Original Alear Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Myself. There are so many ways I can correct sad inevitabilities. Meeting famous people wouldn't do anything for me. I can't say I would care to converse with Einstein or the like, They were smart people who were highly specialized, I would learn nothing from them comparatively. Hmm, if i met myself I'd probably fuck him. As for the current question, I'd go with the stocky robber as the preferable choice for similar reasons to yours. However, I'd be even more afraid of the woman's child that I actually did abduct in spite of the prompt - children are strange and scary.

Vashiane Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hmm, good question. The man. A woman, I could probably rationalize with (plus I could easily prove I don't have her child) and if absolute worst comes to worst, if she tries to attack me I have a better chance at holding my own for a while until I could escape and call the police. The man on the other hand... no. And he's armed? ... No. I wouldn't risk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) The dude because beliefs can be refuted with enough evidence. I prove to the lady that no, I did not steal her child, I did not wrong her, I should be good to go and no violence happen that day. If she is not already attacking me then she can be persuaded not to. The size of the dude I'm not too bothered with, but I'm not entirely confident in my abilities to disarm effectively. Depends on the guy I guess. If he's untrained I got a decent shot, if he's another trained martial artist he does have a weapon over me whoops Now if I did kidnap the woman's child that's a completely different story. Who's to say that she couldn't possibly have the skills of Black Widow and completely kick my ass?

shadowofchaos Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) but my country was crappy at time so nope nope nope I wouldn't want to be anywhere NEAR your country at that time. >_>; The US in 1847. See the hardships the Mormons had to go through on their journey to the west. Edit: Crap. Editing. Wrong question. I'd be more afraid of the woman.

mewyeon Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Oh my....I'd have to say the man. I could at least, you know...handle the woman on an equal level physically if I had to. And if she's in a reasonable state of mind, I can call the police and prove to her that I didn't kidnap her child. Though if I saw that guy...I'd prolly throw my money on the ground and take off running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airship Canon Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 The woman. Why? She's more liable to come after me with bullshit. And that's what I'm afraid of.

Espinosa Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I'd compensate for the woman's loss of the child by giving birth to a new one, maybe get the gunner involved somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have hidden my answer to this question because I want initial reactions not influenced by my answer. The woman. She has tenacity and conviction on her side, so she won't run away when I defend myself. On second thought, the man would be more dangerous... But the woman would seem more threatening since she is out for blood. Edited September 13, 2013 by Makaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
