I'm almost certain something like this has been posted before, but I don't know about this variant.

Imagine you have a terminal illness, accident-prone life, bounty on your head, etc. Anything that can kill you that cannot be stopped. You have a week left to live at the most. You could die after you finish reading this, you could die exactly 604,800 seconds from then. You don't know.
The question is, like in the original, what would you do with your life? You probably don't want to waste it, but if you plan for too long, it won't matter.

The scenario is actually a lot like real life, the difference being you usually don't have a ceiling age.

Take out a giant loan, and have fun. As well mess with people at work.

1. Quickly locate and purchase Ars Goetia
2. Summon demons
3. ??????????
4. Not die and become powerful

After I call everyone I know and say goodbye and I love them and to carry out some stupid task in my name just to keep people busy and feel that they did something for me as a dying wish I would live the rest of my days/hours/minutes out with multitudes of hardcore drugs and lots of boy on boy on girl on girl on boy on girl sex...

I'd stick the kettle on and maybe have a nap or 2

the difference being you usually don't have a ceiling age.

:eek: I'm a freak!

one week isnt long enough to do anything significant.

i would get my affairs in order, say good bye to those i wanted to say good bye to and try to spend my remaining time as pleasantly as possible

Tell no-one.

Take out a large overdraft increase.

Take my friends on a road trip with lots of beer and drugs.

Die with a smile on my face and a note in my pocket explaining how much I love them and my family and why I didn't tell the before hand i.e. I want us all to have a good time together before I went without worrying them.

I'd sleep. One cannot underestimate the importance of rest for a nice death.

I'd probably do the same. I don't what time zone they are in, but I'm sure both heaven and hell would leave horrible jet lag.
And if you don't go anywhere, you still get to sleep. That's always nice.

i would become more assertive very rapidly.

Waste a week doing this

Arrange for mummification, including a proper tomb curse

*nods*

One cannot overestimate the importance of ones' beauty sleep while in persuit of that final before death shag.

I would probably have a lot of sex. That's about it, can't really get anything else important done.

I might clean the house once more, or cook some food for freezing for my family so they didn't have to for a while......but probably just the sex.

I was planning on becoming a lich, same kind of idea but instead you get to cast the curse yourself and be undead.

I'd have a nice cup of tea, very carefully plan what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, try and arrange to meet up with people, and die before any of it was achieved.

I would eat a Philly cheese steak, my last pizza, last hamburger, etc., and possibly kiss the girl I like. Then I'd tell people not to forget me and that they're all good.

I'd set up my will, finish a bookshelf, and if I can time it right, die in the sack with this girl that, although attractive and physically great, was conniving and unfaithful while we were together. Ah, to scar her with something like that is a vengeance/pleasure I would be unable to pass up.

Well, with one week left I would have to undertake the ultimate quest...

I would attempt to catch all STDs known to modern man. It's like Pokemon, but much better.

I suppose that most of the names could probably pass as Pokemon.

I choose you Syphilis!

What's this? HIV is evolving? HIV evolved in to AIDS!

(If only it were that easy...stop the AIDS epidemic simply by pressing B)

Write something, as quickly as possible, about something moderately interesting and original.

The problem was you only tapped once, you have to tap B multiple times!

Take out a loan for a Bentley and drive it across the US to California and die on the beach of Gualala.

Too much maintenance, keeping up the phylactery, obtaining larvae-I work hard enough in this life. Besides, I did the mummy bit for a Ravenloft campaign and it was much more fun than lichdom-of course, that mummy was a seventh level monk/third level shadowdancer prior to embalming

I would try to lv an orc warlock to lv70 on world of warcraft

Go to a faith healing service. Get healed. Die dramatically.

Tell all my relatives that I have won the lottery and then tell them I'm going to die and watch their reactions. See who tried to get into my will.

Put some really obscure things in my will and funeral plans, like stopping in the middle for a game of bingo or requesting everyone wears purple and leaving money to the monster raving loony party.

Then I'll buy a plan ticket to Uruguay and visit the hot springs - I was there last year and actually thought - if I died now I'd die happy.

If I managed to get their and spend a day in the springs I'd then go eat steak drink red wine go to bed and repeat until I finally did die.

well if i actually got any kind of gratification out of stupid crap i'd consider it, but since i don't, about the best i could do is try and make myself comfortable.

i think i'd definately want to spend my last week, knowing that it was my last week, camping or living somehow, out in the woods somewhere.

i'm not fond of pain, but i'm even less fond of having a bunch of mundane idiots hanging arround reminding me of my pain and preventing me from creatively dreaming about anything else.

i'd certainly rather die of pnumonia or even become lunch for some other life form, then being burned or tortured to death by fanatical idiots of any stripe.

economic, religeous, idiological or anything else.

nature's diversity is a far greater comfort to me, and then any formulae of human words.

.../\...

I would like to jump out of a plane over somewhere spectacular, with no parachute - somewhere in Africa I suspect, on something like heroin.

I think that would be an experience worth dying over.

It would really suck if I miraculously survived the fall however, that's what the heroin is for aside from the expected dreamy no fear fall.

Rob a bank and burn the money.

I would probably have a lot of sex. That's about it, can't really get anything else important done.

What if you die during, the, um...

Necrophilia?

I would spend my time fooling my girlfriend (who loves me very much:D) into a commitment that we must always remain faithful to eachother in life and death and there can never be anyone else, ever, in life or death.

I would only miss the look on her face when I actually check out, it would be priceless hahahaha.

As well mess with people at work.

You would go to work?!?!?!?!:eek:Or just show up and mess around.

Me--No idea.:confused:

Post my 6697 post on NS.


aaahh crap...

Get waaaaaaaaaaaaasssssttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddd.

Hmm...

First thing I'd do is masturbate. Just in case my time is very short.

After I take the edge off, I'll get a camcorder and record a message for my children. In it, I will wish them well, explain that I'll always be with them and outline my best pranks and prank ideas. I will extoll the virtues of mud, groin kicks and sudden unexplainable nudity. :)

Once that is done, I will do my best to grant my wife one of her sexual fantasies.

Then I'll find Fred Phelps, pie him and tell him that I've spoken with God and he's going straight to Hell. The gay section. :)

Assuming I still have time, I will probably run around like a madman tackling people who look bored. *nod*

Read the fine print that says it was all a lie and I'm not going to die.

Will you tell your children you put masturbation in front of leaving them a recorded message?

The gay sections are always more fun, except in prison of course.

Yeah, I'd probably end up dropping my phylactery or something and accidentally kill myself.

That's awesome.

Nothing. I thought about this for a while. My life, as it is now, is perfect. I am happy. I have a wife I love, a puppy I adore, a beautiful apartment on Sydney harbour, good food, good freinds, and a nice bed. :)
