The DQ "What if...?": Re-Released Premium Edition

[Kreekakon]

For those of you who know this forum game from before, the basics are the same. For those who don't, I'll explain in quick fashion.

In this game, you'll have to answer the "What if...?" question which has been placed by the user before. Basically a "What if..?" question is any sort of situation presented in the form of a question with "What if" as its opener. Such as:

What if monkeys could fly?

The first thing you will do in your post is answer the previous person's question. There is no right or wrong answer. In fact, you are very much encouraged to run wild with whatever witty or bizzare answer you can think of!

After you have, answered the question, you then have to come up with a "What if..?" question of your own to ask the next poster. Again, there is no right or wrong way to do this, and you can run wild with what you can come up with. After this the cycle continues with the next poster.


The main difference between this one, and the old version is that I will place down some rules to try to make the game as interesting, or at least un-dull as possible, such as prohibiting the use of simple passby answers such as:

What if the world was going to be hit by a lump of giant cheese tomorrow?

I don't know.

^This one would be a gigantic NO. Under no circumstances or question would it be allowed to be used.

Or...

What if the world was going to be hit by a lump of giant cheese tomorrow?

I would kill myself.

^Mostly a no, but under rare circumstances or questions, it might actually be a funny twist to the question, so this one depends.

So basically, the main rule is for players to think outside of the box as much as possible, and come up with the most interesting answers as possible. If you're not that imaginative at least TRY instead of just passing it by. Trust me, I can tell the difference.

For those who still don't understand, here's a quick example of what posts look like in this game:

We would never be able to eat a Big Mac again.

What if all books could read themselves?

Audio books would no longer be special.

What if I was a banana?

*Monkey spins head around and stares*

What if rain started raining on your head right now?

So yeah that's basically the idea of the game. So without furthur ado, let us begin! I'll start:


What if a dragon suddenly flew in your room, and asked you for jelly beans?

[Shinoi]

I don't know
I would give him peanut butter cuz I'm evil.

What if DQ was shut down?

[Killing_Time]

I would release a sigh of relief, knowing that I can finally use my time on something constructive.

What if ducks were more aggressive?

[Shinoi]

That would mean we would never eat Beijing ducks again and they would soon hunt us down.
What if I will be hit by a truck tommorow?

[Zolen]

That would mean you would be in horrible pain and you would likely be dead or crippled.

That if everyone on the planet suddenly had the power to light things on fire with their mind.

[...I'm not telling you!]

Unless a race of Ice born creatures attacked the world giving humanity the reason it needed to work together and use it's powers for a greater good, well considering how much 'everyone hates everyone' we'd all burn up faster than an ant hill under a little childs magnifying glass on a hot day.

What if Bush was actually still the president of America?

[Cajolocs]

We would already be slaves.
What if I never joined DQ?! (This one's easy...)

[leapoffaith]

You would never have asked the above question and would probably be watching me answer someone else's question right now.

What if there was an extremely wide fat man running down a hall toward you brandishing a knife and the only way our of the hall was a door behind him?

[Zolen]

Tell him the location of a donut stand

What if I descended into godhood.

[Shinoi]

I would wake you up.

What if there was no "if" word?

[Zolen]

Origin:
before 900; Middle English, variant of yif, Old English gif, gef; akin to Old Norse ef if, Gothic ibai whether, Old High German iba condition, stipulation

What if you were attacked by a demon penny

[Sirrin Nacht]

I'd sick my pet quarter on it.

What if a volcano near your neighborhood started erupting?

[Cajolocs]

It would burn everything to the ground! ]: )

What if we actually found Mass Relays?

[Zolen]

First contact war

What if you were Commander Shepard

[Cajolocs]

I'd say this is my favourite forum on the extranet.

What if conspiracy theories are right?

[Zolen]

Then all government officials are alien lizard men, all cops are planning to steal our brains and you are the only real person, everyone else is imaginary.

What if a portal opened into our world and all the monsters of final fantasy games coated the planet.

[leapoffaith]

I'd sit back and watch the 12 hour long cutscene before fighting them.

What if there was no spoon?

[Shinoi]

I would use straw.
What if snow was highly flamable?

[leapoffaith]

Can't talk- burning snow.

What if the customer was always wrong?

[Ivyn]

Then companies would abuse us.

What if i kicked victory in the balls?

[Kreekakon]

His reaction would be the same as anyone else's. Mod of DQ, or not, he's still just a man. However what happens after the intial reaction would be up for debate...

What if one day someone stole the moon?

[Cajolocs]

The seas would rise and surfers would be the only people alive.

What if we hadn't the ability to percieve time?

[Paperback Writer]

There'd by no surprises.
What if, relativism is absolute?

[BanHammor]

Einstein would surely turn in his grave, aaand all physicists would quit their jobs to re-evaluate their lives.
What if I stopped being so antisocial and got a girlfriend?

[Paperback Writer]

Einstein would surely turn in his grave, aaand all physicists would quit their jobs to re-evaluate their lives.

Sorry, I didn't mean relativity. I meant "relativism".
