I'm pretty sure I wouldn't. So my vote is on no. What does SEN think?



None.

Feb 5 2009, 6:14 am KrayZee Post #2



No, therefore I don't need to worry.



None.

It takes the fun out of death. I'd rather not see it coming, and rather be happy when it does.

It obviously wouldn't matter in the least, but I find the prospect of dying without knowing to be quite disturbing.



None.

A very difficult question... on one hand I don't want to carry the burden of death during my life, but on the other, perhaps knoweledge of my death will make me appreciate and value life much more.



None.

I would want to know only if it meant that I would survive any reckless behavior before the date.



None.

Feb 5 2009, 3:17 pm Moose Post #11

We live in a society.

Yes.

Other than that, I am one of the few people I know that would choose to live forever.

No. I'd be so damned nervous about it I'd probably commit suicide just to get over with it. But then again what had been foreseen would be wrong. Ugh... paradox.

Totally.



None.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Yes, the question itself creates a paradoxon, if you choose yes. Ofc I would want to know, so I can avoid it.
But that also means if this REALLY tells me when I die, I would become immortal until then. I could jump from a skyscraper and know that I will survive. This obviously can't be.
So why would I choose to know something that becomes false by the knowledge of it? (Wow that's the same with quantum physics)

Still I would choose yes, just to prove the fucker who granted me this wrong.

If you think that you would only die at that certain time and start to jump skycrappers and such and know you won't die then you're accepting that you WILL die on that time, nude. Therfore you can't do anything to prevent it. You kinda just contradicted yourself.



fuck you all

Hello

No I wouldn't want to know it...

No I wouldn't. I'm sure it would somehow distort me and cause me to end up suiciding or go insane.



None.

Feb 5 2009, 6:50 pm Doodan Post #18



Maybe you could get like a menu of deaths. Like "If you get this job" or "move to this city" you will live to be this old. If you keep smoking or start smoking, or drinking, or sleeping around, etc., this is when/how you will die. It would be funny if it was random. Like if you decide to move to France, you will be killed when someone drops a camera off the top of the Eiffel Tower and it lands on your head.



None.

I would like to know when I die since I believe that no matter what you do you cannot change the past or fututre therefore I could jump off bridges and live. :D



None.

We can guess what it is like to to know exactly when you are going to die by looking at people on death row. It is said that they can not help be dream about their upcoming death every night.

I like to dream about penguins, I vote no.

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless
[05:02 am]
Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value
[05:01 am]
Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Ultraviolet -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort
[12:51 am]
Oh_Man -- definitely EUD

Vrael -- I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff

Vrael -- that is insane

Vrael -- damn is that all EUD effects?
