Date: October 22nd, 2017 5:06 PM Author: boyish seedy piazza Option A: 24 hours from now, you will be given a 50 question test about the Spanish Civil War. CharlesXII will also take the same test. You will be told that the test is only about the Spanish Civil War. CharlesXII will be told that it is a test about "20th century wars". You both can use the next 24 hours to study. Whoever gets the higher score on the test wins a $10,000 gift card to Amazon, and whoever gets the lower score gets flogged.
Option B: You must infiltrate the next Papal Conclave by pretending to be an obscure cardinal. If you can go the entire conclave without people figuring out you are a fake cardinal, you win 2500 euros. If they figure out you are a fraud, you will be tied to a donkey, paraded through the streets of Rome, and the locals will throw garbage at you. |

Date: October 22nd, 2017 5:12 PM Author: boyish seedy piazza Option A: You are transformed into a generic-looking, skinny DC 5. You are dropped off in the middle of Farragut Square and given an entry level job at the Heritage Institute. You have a month to find CharlesXII, win his heart, and get to a third date with him. If you do this, you win a brand new 2017 Lexus ES. If you fail, you are forced to live in Washington DC the rest of your life (or Arlington or Silver Spring, but not Bethesda).
Option B: You must join CharlesXII's hardcore board game club. You have three months to win one of the complex board games they play. If you succeed, you win a $50,000 shopping spree at the Gucci Store. If you don't succeed, you must pay rachmiel's hosting fees for XO for one year. |
|
Date: October 22nd, 2017 5:18 PM Author: obsidian offensive party of the first part brunch i couldn't achieve option A within a month. I would need a month to read history books & study Catholicism in preparation of winning his heart. I think I could do it within 3 months but I'm only given one month.
Option B I could probably do within 3 months but I don't really care about Gucci stuff at all. I guess I could just buy a bunch of handbags and re-sell them?
In any case, I wouldn't want to live in DC forever so I'll pick option B. Excellent hypo. |

Date: October 22nd, 2017 5:27 PM Author: boyish seedy piazza Option A: For the next six months, you may not spend more than $10/day on food. If you spend more than this, you will pay a fine equal to three times your total food spend during that time. If you manage to spend less than $5/day on food, you win a brand new Toyota Camry LE.
Option B: For the next six months, you must read at least one 400 page (or more) history book per week. You will be given a reading comprehension test at the end of each book and must score at least 50%. If you complete this task, you will be given your own TV show on FOX News that runs at like 2 AM, guaranteed to run at least 6 months. |

|
Date: October 22nd, 2017 5:32 PM Author: lime juggernaut abode For option A, do you fail if you spend more than 5/10 on any particular day, or is it just tracking the six-month average? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3771694&forum_id=2#34504101) |

Date: October 22nd, 2017 5:35 PM Author: lime juggernaut abode Psh, would be EASY to beat that hypo then.
That said probably take the B option simply because the payoff is better. |

|
Date: October 22nd, 2017 5:39 PM Author: boyish seedy piazza Option A: You must go to Rocket Bar in Washington DC on a Friday night and spend at least six hours there (7 PM to 1 AM). Each time you totally ignore a woman who comes up to flirt with you or hit on you, you win $100. If, even a single time, you flirt back or initiate or return physical contact with a girl, you lose all the money you just won, and must ride the Metro back home in your underwear.
Option B: Next Saturday, you must debate a Lutheran pastor about finer points of theology, before an audience of theology enthusiasts, clerics of many different faiths, and popular historian Karen Armstrong. You must defend the orthodox Catholic position in all cases. After the debate, the audience will be polled about whether or not you embarrassed yourself. If 50% vote that you did not embarrass yourself, you win a $500 gift certificate to Fogo de Chao. If they think you did embarrass yourself, you must allow a local petty criminal into your house, take him to your primary closet, and let him steal as many clothes as he can in 30 seconds. |

Date: October 22nd, 2017 5:43 PM Author: lime juggernaut abode This seems, uh, heavily weighted to option B for me. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3771694&forum_id=2#34504192) |

Date: October 22nd, 2017 11:54 PM Author: boyish seedy piazza Option A: The Pope places the Minnesota Vikings under interdiction. No player or employee of the Vikings may take part in any Catholic service or sacrament: they can't get communion, they can't go to confession, they can't even get a Catholic funeral if they die. Further, the interdict extends to all parishes where one or more priests is an open and notorious Vikings fan: those parishes are shut down until such time as all offending priests renounce the Vikings. And all Catholic churches across the world are instructed to deny communion to anyone wearing a Vikings jersey or Vikings gear. The point is, the Vatican has determined that the Minnesota Vikings franchise are an affront to God and man, and will work to destroy it.
Option B: The Pope canonizes the first Packer fan saint, Saint Ambrose of Lambeau. Allegedly, Saint Ambrose of Lambeau was a holy man who lived sometime in the early to mid 20th century and never missed a Packers game. One day, he saw three children walking to Lambeau Field who were being attacked by vicious bears. He began to recite the Lord's Prayer, causing the bears to freeze, and allowing the children to escape. Later, he was martyred when a very left-wing governor of Wisconsin began persecuting Christians. There is very little documentary evidence that any of this ever happened, but Saint Ambrose of Lambeau is now a saint and his image - in green Packers gear - is appearing on stained glass windows in Catholic churches all over Wisconsin. |
|
Date: October 22nd, 2017 11:57 PM Author: lime juggernaut abode Is there a particular reason the Vikings are under interdict? Is it possible that a change in ownership would remove the interdict?
180 hypo btw, probably have to go with A. |
|
Date: October 23rd, 2017 12:00 AM Author: boyish seedy piazza No, this isn't corrupt medieval times when the Vikings will enjoy papal favor once more if ownership is transferred to the Baberini family or the Kingdom of Aragon or some shit like that. The existence of the Minnesota Vikings has simply been found to be incompatible with the teachings of Jesus Christ. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3771694&forum_id=2#34506985) |

Date: October 23rd, 2017 12:05 AM Author: boyish seedy piazza Option A: You receive constant unsolicited advice about your sex life from depressed lawyers, some of whom wear adult diapers. However, these depressed lawyers love you and vote for you in meaningless popularity contests.
Option B: You are an obscure poaster on a message board for depressed lawyers, some of whom wear adult diapers. Nobody is obsessed with your IRL, but you never get any votes in MPM. |

Date: October 23rd, 2017 8:04 PM Author: boyish seedy piazza Option A: You are presented with three Jesuses. One of them is the actual Jesus. One of them is a method actor hired to play Jesus. One of them is a Biblical scholar hired to play Jesus. You must determine which one of them is the truly the Son of Man, and which two are fakers. You do this by asking them questions until you're ready to pick who you think is the Christ. You can ask questions about theology, Biblical history, morality, or whatever you'd like. Only rules are, you can't ask for a miracle, and you can't ask something that only an omnipotent deity would know (like "what sin did I commit at 9 AM this morning" or "what were the last words my grandmother said to me"). Also, assume you cannot tell the real Jesus apart physically; he doesn't appear in some kind of transfigured or glorified state and he does not have any crucifixion wounds. If you pick the right Jesus, you win an old, previously undiscovered copy of the Gospel of Luke dating back to at least the 3rd century AD.
Option B: Same thing, but it's three Napoleons and one of them is the real Napoleon. If you pick the right Napoleon, he will autograph one item of your choosing. |

Date: October 23rd, 2017 8:07 PM Author: lime juggernaut abode The implications of a Gospel of Luke that dates to the 200's BC are very very interesting. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3771694&forum_id=2#34512614) |
