In homage to the late Ingmar Bergman, if you had to face Death in a competition for your life, what would your chosen contest be?

Poll coming.

Killing people.
[/dark humor]

Scrabble.

Or Wii Sports golf.

Chip in!


Nice tribute btw, LG.

Wheelchair jousting. :D

obligatory "Ro-Sham-Bo, I go first" post

a drinking contest, and i choose the booze. i'll have his bones dissolving before my speech has even begun to slur. that or a game of strip poker, i did pretty well the last time i played poker.

A farting contest. I guarantee that my farts smell worse than Death.

Making inane NSG polls or Halo 2 slayer.

Inane or Insane?

Or both?

Which of us was alive at the point when I started this sentence?

I automatically win.

Fencing. *nods*

If I get a team membet - Drunken Pictionary. Me = Immortal.

Failing that? Horseshoes or air hockey.

I'm so happy to see Scrabble and Roshambo tied for first at 25% each. Classy.

Inane or Insane?

Or both?

Nah, just inane. I'm not funny enough to do insane polls. :p

Don't combine them. It takes forever to figure out what to do with a trayful of vowels and one 'D' when your balls ache. *nod*

your poll is fail. Seriously, we don't all want everything as silly as possible.

Twister and Battleships!

You're probably the only person who would come into my threads expecting anything else. :p

A slack-off contest, the first person to do their job loses. The only way Death could win would be to stop taking souls until I actually developed a work ethic. That's good for at least two decades of extended life.

I vote for twister.
Hehe. Cool! :cool:

Just out of curiosity, is there anything you DO like?

I vote for twister.

1.Proving the equality of gravitational mass with inertial mass

or

2.Hex (I go first).

The Game of Life. Mostly for irony, but also so I can laugh at him when he's a doctor with a $20,000 salary.

Australian Dick Wrestling? if Death is only a skeleton does he even have a wang?


I'll play Death in Limbo, and while he's playing ill release a hampster on him and it'll crawl around and then he'll loose.

I'm not entirely sure exactly what Australan Dick Wrestling entails. It might involve wrestling an australian dick. But if it involves dick wrestling by aussie rules, then since Death has a fleshy face(such as it is), one can assume he has the total package. *nod*

poker

no not strip, there are some things that are worse than death and naked death is one of them.

freestyle chess.

His move.
then I make my first move in about... 40 years...
then his move.
Then my next move would be in about... 40 years...
(repeat)

obligatory "Ro-Sham-Bo, I go first" post

two points...

One. Death... who can appear as anything/one. can appear as either a skeleton or a girl. minimizing damage.

two. after Death gets back up, it's his turn... and them boney toes are mighty sharp... :p

A non-kill-off. Whoever's killed the fewest number of people wins.

Laziness. I can outlazy a cat. Since death has places to go and souls to collect, he can't sit around and do nothing, since I'm retired, I can.

Lulz Chess...:D

Chess-by-mail (best out of 9), making a move every 6 months and sending the reply through a bunch of other people and by the slowest method possible.

play chess by mail, like someone mentioned

I are that someone.

EDIT: The time warp proves it

I'd probably cheat, play chess by mail, like someone mentioned, but whenever he makes a move, I'll try his move against a Chess computer program on the hardest difficulty, y'know like the one that beat Kasparov. If I cant win like that, I couldnt have won anyway.

Heh, "cheat" death

I'd challenge him to high stakes poker.

No, wait.

Maybe not.

Can I challenge him to a game of "Name That Tune"? I would have opted for Scrabble, but I can only imagine that Death knows a lot of words...and a lot of two-letter ones...and who's going to send Death to the dictionary for a challenge when it's your ass on the line?

I'll just go with monopoly.....that does take forever

Killing people.
[/dark humor]

That'll work.

And you don't think Death knows a lot of tunes? :p

I'd challenge him to The Game. Speaking of, I lose.

Actually, I'd challenge him to a few rounds of Magic: The Gathering. Cause even if I lose, I love playing someone better than me. (Although nowadays those types of people are becoming scarce)

The Game of Life. Mostly for irony, but also so I can laugh at him when he's a doctor with a $20,000 salary.

Oh yes, everyone, just have a big huge laugh at death. You guys are too hard on the guy. :p

I chose chess. Honest game, honest strategy, honest my probably losing. Of course, I don't think it matters...it's not like this challenge will result in my death if I lose.

...

Right? 'Cause see, I figure that'd be unfair.

I do believe I had a dream where I fought -- and defeated -- death. I do know that I've driven off Dracula and (as of a couple days ago) slain Clavicus Vile.

But the backup plan is a game of "youngest person wins".

Hide and seek. I'll cover my naked body in mud and hide in a forest, whereas he has his cloak on.

Therefore death=pwned.

Not being Death.

I'd need two large catapults and nets - placed at a suitable distance from each other across a field, set up so one is always hurled from a catapult into a net and the two combatants pass each other in mid-air.

We'd then be given 2 wiffle bats, on being flung simultaneously towards each other, one must attempt to pummel the other to death with a wiffle bat as we pass.

I call it aerial jousting.

Hopefully we'd get tired after a while and settle down to a nice beer and a chat.

Russian Roulette.

Twister.

Perhaps it happened in another movie, which 'm PRETTY sure it did ... nonetheless, it's what i'd choose. Haven't ever lost a game.
Battleship.

Boy howdy! :gundge:

Fiddle-playing! No wait, that's the devil. Nevermind.

Oooh - GOOD answer!
*bows*

ANOTHER good answer.

Aww, come on, Death is one of my favorite Discworld characters.

Whoever weighs the most, and since Death is nothing more than bones, I automatically win! :D

Failing that, "Life", for the irony of making the Grim Reaper play a game called "Life".

Well, it wouldn't be chess, 'cause I'm lousy at it. :p

I voted Candyland, cause I was an ace at it as a kid. :)

I would play Death in the video game below...he can even pick which map we use.

...I'm fairly certain I'll win. :D

Russian Roulette.

I'm sure that would be pretty agreeable for Death. :p

Speaking of Russian Roulette - anyone see that movie where Max Von Sydow was the old man who played Russian Roulette with thousands of people and never lost? Just an interesting tie-in. :)

Looks kinda fun. Those hexagon-tiled maps always scared me off, in the past. :p He might just give up. :)

Hehe...

...let me put it this way, I fully intend to use USA as my force.

If Death chooses anyone other than the Russians, he's fucked. :p

If it's a battle for whether or not I'll die, and I'm not ready to die yet, then who is better at being me? And not "who is better at being me?" where we have to decide if Death is better at being Death or me at being me, but rather if Death or I am better at being me. You can't beat the original at being itself. There is no way for Death to cheat at that game to win.

If it's not my - or someone important's who shouldn't die yet - life in jeopardy, I'm not going to challenge death. Bad idea.

Strip poker sounds nearly foolproof, but I think the odds are roughly even that I will die naked. This really hurts my chances.

Ah well ... more porn!
