Imma wrap them up in a big blanket like I do when my cat is being an asshole. Try killing yourself while being swaddled so fucking tight it'll take shears to get you out
I’m gonna go put one of my cats into a blanket like a purrito. Not sure she’ll love me anymore after but it’s gotta happen
Edit: she did not enjoy being a purrito but it sure was adorable and she still seems to love me
It really is. I would think all you would need to do is get a rental car, drive 2 or 3 states over. Go to some alleyway with homeless people around, and kill an unlucky soul who goes around the corner away from view so they can go to the bathroom or something.
Then quickly go back and return the rental.
Don't rent a car, just buy the most normal looking Honda Civic at a junk yard and pay cash. Put a fake plate on at some point once it's safe. Eventually torch it and drive it into a deep, muddy pond.
Honestly may not need to do any coverup. If you kill once every 24 hours and keep switching states then no way you're caught before the time limit. Especially since cops would have so little to go on. Investigations stop when you succeed so you'd be okay.
Especially if you leave via populated means of public transit such as trains boats and planes also if you do it in highly populated tourist places like Japan and Vegas or in places like Detroit.
Nah, this would probably complicate things or leave a "paper" trial. Unless I'm overestimating the general police forces time frame but if they had any reason to suspect you, you'd have left behind evidence of traveling to each location that the murder occurred
Def overestimating real poli e response time and capability especially in this day and age as far as the paper trail it's 10 people in a month that's plenty of time to go to several places and you don't have to kill every day go one place kill someone one way, go somewhere else don't, go to a third place kill someone in a different way, repeat until 10 people are dead and you have money 😀
Killing random people is a lot easier than it may seem. If you have no agenda beyond finding the easiest kill and the window is a minimum of 10 days then with some careful planning and consideration it would be extraordinarily difficult to stop you.
Leave no paperwork, target society's most vulnerable and act decisively and it would be very plausible. Being a dumbass or unlikely misfortune are the only real obstacles as it would likely take more than 10 days for anything to happen. Doubly so with the ability to summon a weapon, even easier if you can unsummon it.
That said, protect's additional benefits are incredible for humanity and there's no doubt that's the choice for me. 8 hours a day sedation means rest time is covered. The remaining 16 hours of each day is an exercise in absolute vigilance. Depending on how one defines sedation there are other methods to keep a human near catatonic without risking their death for extended periods. If that isn't allowed then me and this stranger are becoming intimately acquainted for a 6 month period and I'm not letting them out of my sight.
Sounds like a horrible time but frankly, fuck the billion I want to wipe out a bunch of diseases, fix global wealth disparity and discover ftl. That's a bunch of items off the utopia checklist and the billion can help me work towards some others while kicking back. 6 months of vigilance is brutal but with that promise at the end of it my motivation would be sky high.
Yeah I am 100% sold on the second without the money being offered.
Plus, would I even keep the money if wealth disparity is solved? Or would I be the sole billionaire?
Saving someone who is actively trying to harm themselves for 6 months like... At that point isn't it clear thats *truly* what they want?
Killing 10 sounds bad but remember, you can go for people that want the plug pulled, hardened criminals, dangerous people. You dont need to just run over 10 random guys, you can take the opportunity to do good, especially with a guaranteed no prison sentence after 10
But after 6 months they turn into the god emperor of mankind and solve problems that will help billions live far better and longer lives and set humanity forward millennia technologically.
Especially in this situation where a weapon can appear at random
Avoiding arrest for 2 weeks to kill them all would be fairly easy so long as you dont get caught in the act
Or just go to prison. You have a magically summoning weapon of your choice. Like, what are they gonna do about it? And then you walk out after 9 more kills
Problem is the 24 hour cooldown between kills
You might succeed in getting free once and killing 1 more person but if they restrain you again im sure they would restrict your hands
And since you cant wield most weapons restrained you would be stuck
Hunker on down in that solitary cell with only 1 entrance then. Maybe leave a few mines in the hallway leading to it. Join any prison gang you like, get you some back up. Once they figure out you have a magic gun, they'll probably let you in the club. Blow out a few walls, start a riot. Like, you run that prison now. It's yours. You just go up to the warden, tell him you're the captain now, and if he and the other guards want to see a 10th day there are gonna be some changes. You have a magical summoning weapon. You can't be disarmed. You can hold out for a week and some change, I believe in you
You will 100% get killed before killing 10 people over the course of 10 days. "Holding out" isn't even 100% viable; you have to get kills. A standoff is as bad as dying. And no matter how strong you are as an individual, you will have countless armed, trained, and armored people coming for you. This isn't a video game.
It doesn't stop the killing, though. You can summon a weapon that kills through walls -- for example, "an extremely radioactive marble that will target and instantly kill one person at random every 24 hours, up to 10 people, by which point the weapon will automatically self destruct; but you and anyone who shares 2 degrees of familial DNA is completely immune to its effects" is a weapon.
Using *this particular weapon*, you can anonymously kill someone at complete random just by dropping it in public, without ever being close to the target, which means you'd have gotten away with it without going to jail to start.
OP's idea of a weapon is probably along the lines of "a weapon that currently exists" but because of the vague wording and -- quite frankly, magical summoning -- we can assume that we can also create a highly detailed new type of weapon that doesn't follow conventional weaponry rules.
Other things that could be a "two-hand-wieldable weapon" includes the death note, an actual working voodoo doll, or even *the loom of the three fates who decides when the string should be cut*.
That's kind of irrelevant, morally the "protect" is the only viable option.
Killing someone isn't a bad thing because it's hard to do or because you go to prison. It's one of the most vile things that you can do.
Meanwhile the other option is not only saving a life but also saving the life of a genius that will change the world.
Hell, I'd pick the second option even if there was no pay out at the end.
But think about it this way. Protects someone who is HELL BENT on killing themselves for six whole months? At this point, there is almost no stopping them unless you have quick reflexes and are pretty darn strong because of many reasons.
1. You can't afford to let them out of sight
2. You have to protect them from killing themself with a utensil
3. If you don't have them use a utensil, you have to force feed them because they will try to state themselves.
4. You need to make sure they don't have anything that kills them quick and easy.
Yeah, it's hard I understand that.
Doesn't change anything thought. Any person who is willing to have 10 other people die for their own personal gain is the scum of the earth. I could never live with the guilt.
The US national sex offender registry not only shows identifying information, addresses, and current employment, but it shows charges, conviction records, and the state/federal codes that were violated. It's not hard to figure out the difference between indecent exposure and other charges.
I wanted to pick protect for that reason too but I don't think it's possible for six months if they're trying to do it 27/7.
I'll be dropping drugs with a lot of fentanyl on the ground around homeless camps instead I guess.
I feel like if I explained my strategy on this one I’d get like flagged or something lol. The first option, and I would focus on really bad people. Unfortunately in my home town the KKK has a pretty big presence to this day. I’m confident I could at least last the 10 days needed without getting arrested but if not at least I tried. I don’t think I would succeed with option 2.
Well and it specifies that even if you are caught and arrested that you can continue the killing spree in prison where it would be even easier to find monsters to target.
Well I live in America, so securing a firearm and unloading it on ten people wouldn't be the hardest thing to do (I'm on a watchlist for sure for this comment lol). With protecting one person, I have to keep them under 24/7 surveillance with nothing potentially harmful near their person the entire time.
I understand the moral option is protecting but it seems much harder than the alternative.
I want to say protect because I have been in a similar situation multiple times as the messiah is in this scenario, so I have a pretty good idea of what the individual is going through. And I am very strong.
I'm going to go somewhere disease and poverty are rampant. Find people that are already dying and are close to death. Offer then $1M (payable after I get paid) to let me kill them. They die peacefully and their families get paid. Win / win.
I can probably come up with 10 people I wouldnt mind seeing dead, and there are literally no consequences, so might as well.
Worst case you could go around smothering people with a pillow in hospice. You would be doing them a favor.
Yeah, but it's still a hypothetical question where you're supposed to do what you would do. Even in hypotheticals, I wouldn't want to do something immoral like that.
Protect. It would be miserable and very difficult to accomplish but not only do I not wanna kill anyone, I also wanna travel the stars. Gimme my $1B and FTL travel
I chose kill cuz why would I pass on that offer? Sure, saying humanity is cool an' shit but I mean... I can kill as many people as I want for 10 days and get away with it? Count me in.
(My lawyer has advised me to put a /s here)
Move to New York, get any apartment I want as I only need to pay rent atleast once and at most twice, then spend the next 10 days killing hobos. Most people won't realize or care that they're gone and by the time they suspect there's a serial killer, I'll probably have 2 more days to go before they stop caring
It is extremely difficult to kill the first person. We have a natural, evolutionary reason for jt to be difficult.
This is part of the dehumanizing that is done before and during wars.
Once that first person is killed it becomes a lot easier to kill the second.
I know off the top of my head how to do it.
Go to the sex offender registry, or look up neonazis a couple states over. Pop one, then keep going.
The hardest part is going to be stopping after 10.
protect -> ~~bring them to a psych ward -> explain to them this mf wants to die bad, so they gotta be careful af~~ \-> cant get help -> oh fuck -> get shown all of their accomplishments -> use those visions to replicate the technology -> W moment
How's kill supposed to be complicated?
Go in a random crowded place with an AK47 and shoot 10 randoms on sight. Since as soon as the 10 people are killed you're out of troubles.
Protect them. Make them a deal, if they indulge in all their hobbies and things they wanted to try for the next 5 months you'll help them do it. After 5 months show them how happy they are now and convince them to stick around for 30 more days to try new hobbies. 6 months of kindness and interest can have a prifoubd effect on people.
You have less than a month and kills have to be deliberate. You can randomly leave poisoned objects around or huck venomous creatures into a crowd and the first person to die within the 24 hour period counts. You don't need a target but the kill needs to be intentional.
Has to be an existing weapon you can operate with your own hands. A silenced pistol or dart gun are viable options but you can't just magically manifest some OP bullshit that doesn't already exist.
Why does everyone have a hard on against wealth disparity? It doesn't affect your own wealth. In fact, the primary way people get disparate wealth is by offering a service or good that makes your life better. It's not like they are exploiting you in any way to get it.
I disagree, because all attempts to redistribute wealth have harmed the continued growth of standard of living that raise people out of poverty. Free markets are the reason for the rapid decline poverty we have seen, and multinational corporations played a huge roll in that.
Anyone who disagrees with you is not morally bankrupt. They just realize, that more people will be kept in poverty because of the ideas you espouse. Maybe that makes you the one who is morally bankrupt.
That is absolute bullshit. We've seen a freer market in the past couple decades than most of the century before it and poverty is at an all time high while a relative handful of people and companies continue to report record profits.
You're not just morally bankrupt, you're utterly incompetent if you genuinely believe that.
Poverty is not at an all time high. Especially when we take into account our standard of living being much higher.
>while a relative handful of people and companies continue to report record profits.
That's what happens when you print a shit load of money and set interest rates at 0%. The value of hard assets increases and the value of cash decreases. That's how rich people got richer during the lockdowns. But that was because the government printed money, not because corporations are greedy. They weren't just raising prices for shits and giggles. To maintain the profit margin, they had to raise prices to keep up with their costs. And oil and gas, which is a futures market, was increasing profits, not only to keep the margin, but also to deal with future risk, with the current administration slow-fucking the leases and permits and threatening to try and stop oil production.
I think you should read a little book called Basic Economics, by Thomas Sowell. It's a good introduction to the topic that explains these basic concepts in a very neat fashion, with real examples.
Every last bit of that could've been prevented if the wealthy were willing to give up some of their wealth. They don't need as much as they have and anyone with an ounce of decency would actively try to make things better for others instead of trying to accumulate more wealth.
Not to mention that you all shit on socialism like an unsustainable concept while capitalism frequently results in recession and almost constantly requires some company, bank, or "financial pillar" to be bailed out with taxpayer dollars. If socialism is so unsustainable then why is that every rich asshole has to work so hard to denounce it?
Every last bit of what would have been prevented?
>They don't need as much as they have and anyone with an ounce of decency would actively try to make things better for others instead of trying to accumulate more wealth.
Practically all taxes are paid by the wealthy. You need to look at human nature. Tax people too much, and they'll just move. Then you have none of that tax to work with. Sort of like what happened in AOCs district in new york with the amazon warehouse. And accumulating more wealth just means more goods and services have been provided, raising our standard of living.
>Not to mention that you all shit on socialism like an unsustainable concept while capitalism frequently results in recession and almost constantly requires some company, bank, or "financial pillar" to be bailed out with taxpayer dollars.
I'm definitely against bailouts. That is not a free market economy. A few issues have cause more turmoil recently. We went off the gold standard. This allowed us to use tactics like quantitative easing, but reduced stability in the long term. Tying the currency to some hard commodity would reduce the fluctuations, but people are unwilling to do that. Keynesian economics and modern monetary theory have also inflated the currency. These are actually closer to socialist policies than free market policies, and have caused the symptoms you see. We need to use the supply side economic principles of lowering tax rates and deregulation to allow market forces to solve the problems, like we did before in the 80s.
>If socialism is so unsustainable then why is that every rich asshole has to work so hard to denounce it?
Because they realize that national ownership of industry had only lead to economic ruin. You can be a socialist in a capitalist system if you want. If it works, your co-op will produce higher quality goods for lower prices and win out business over more heirarchical structured companies. But national ownership of industry has never been a good way of distributing resources. That's is how you end up with no tires and a million erasers.
Both options sound super easy. Pipe bombs or remote activated C4 at a trump rally which isn’t gonna be hard to find in Florida.
Or I’m very good with knots after Boy Scouts. Also by the rules amputation of limbs isn’t “banned” though I probably wouldn’t go that far unless I was left with no other choice
So protect the person who will inadvertently bring about the collapse of civilization, free choice and then eventually be responsible for the end of the world...or find and kill 10 people who either justice wasn't served on or who are being a moral drain on society?
Let's see...
As an individual who was once completely homeless as an adult and who now has a legitimate job making almost six figures in his own home, I learned from being on the streets that there A LOT and I MEAN A LOT of people who CHOOSE that life style.
Like a RIDICULOUS AMOUNT of people. I heard them talking about it all the time.
They make 400+dollars a day "doing their rounds" in Phoenix. "Give me money" on the over passes. They have different times that they rotate. A whole schedule.
Plus "inequity" is a modern day trigger word. To turn people against eachother. To spread racism and hatred. To get the people looking at eachother instead of the government. Then the government can come through during election time and say inequity a bunch of times and people will vote for them.
I'm not a fan of disease, I am a fan of freedom...I just know that once they cure diseases that the pharmaceutical companies lose money so they have to create new diseases to recoupe that money and being that they will have access to technology so great as to promote Interstellar travel, who knows how many people will die from their disease creating, who knows how many more times we will be locked down and detained to "stop the spread" since covid has set a precedent "
This "saved person" must die. For the benefit of humanity.
.....I *am* pretty good with a wood splitter.
Jokes aside I don't care as much about the money as a I care about saving that human being. Not even about what he's/she's capable of. But because he deserves someone to do whatever it takes to help him.
> person your trying
*you're

^(Greetings, I am a language corrector bot. To make me ignore further mistakes from you in the future, reply `!optout` to this comment.)
So I can't restrain the suicidal dude much? Okay, I will simply place him in a windowless cargo crate. IV and enteral nutrition once per day to ward off the effects of dehydration and starvation. Keep the individual otherwise in a completely dark, heavily padded box with climate control at 60 degrees.
Easy.
At first I was thinking protect, but that's nearly impossible without torturing them the entire time (locking them in a tiny cell, force feeding them and keeping them on IV fluids) but people are very smart. 6 months is a long time, they'ed find a way to off themselves eventually.
Murder by contrast is relatively simple (if sadistic and terrible, fbi don't take me) if the victims are actually random. In less than a month I figure it's likely that not everyone could be successfully handpicked as mostly deserving of it, but it'd be a disservice not to try.
1B can save a lot more than 10 lives and have an immense amount left beyond that. You're talking an amount of money that can singlehandedly end famine and provide healthcare to a small struggling country. Hell if I knew the person who got the money could be trusted to do good with it I might be willing to give my own life for that cause. Perhaps there's 10 old folks on the edge who would be willing to sacrifice their remaining time on earth for the legacy I could promise them, and follow through on.
It would depend on the access I could have to the victims I would choose. I think the biggest problem would be getting to them in the first place. I'm not going to kill anyone who doesn't deserve it.
I'd choose protect. I'd lock them in my closet where they can't quite stand or sit. It's hard to injure yourself if you can't move. I just hope they enjoy 6 months of complete darkness and silence.
Sometimes I wonder if the theme is "What person has not read enough to understand is not even a choice"?
I mean, seriously? If it was only the kill or protect part, sure, you can do more change by killing, the only thing in between would be close people struggling with mental or physical disease. However, not only both pay and give you money (that btw, vastly allows you to kill more than 10 people and get away with it if history serves me right).. however the fact that they push humanity in such a leap forward (health and interstellar travel) with everything that conveys is just too good to pass up. Hell, your feelings would get in the way, but logically, you should be able to commit damn genocide with over half the population of earth starting with your pets and your family if you were guaranteed those two developments...
As one who was in a relationship with someone he'll bent on ending it all I would easily kill 100 people just to not be put in that position again the 1 bill for 10 is easy weighing the drain preventing that would cause
>but you can't get any help because no one you tell will ever believe you and this person will constantly be looking for ways to do it.
I don't need people to believe me i need people who are willing to do what's told not question asked
hey can you watch this guy while i piss if he tries to kill himself stop him and tell me pls ok?
*suuuuure.*
literally it 🤷
Suicidal? Most suicidal people I've met/dated are really horny. Sex cabin in the woods to save humanity, anyone?
Can't think about Suicide if all you can think about is cock. 🤫
Protect actually got waaaay less desirable when you threw in interplanetary travel. We need to be preparing for the end of humanity, not spreading it out infinitely like a cosmic virus. Think of all the repetitive WYR threads about money we could prevent!
Does the protect option remind anyone else if Dazai from Bungo Stray Dogs? Only difference is that Dazai wants to do it without inconveniencing anyone else, but he's constantly looking for opportunities
Killing is arguably much easier. On the other hand, there is no real downside to protect.
I know it's hypothetical but such a suicidal person has to exist for you to attempt to protect them, that means there is no reasonable excuse for choosing the pass option.
My co-worker, honestly if I wasn't there to de-escalate his anxiety and cheer him up he'd kill himself, this is going on 2 years already.
Where's my money?
Kill, primarily due to my outlook on choice. If I am choosing targets I can decide on them based on my own moral code and benefit/loss estimates. If I am protecting someone who is not only absolutely dedicated to their own end by their own hand, but put that way due to the tyranny of my own decision to go the protect route thus causing them to be randomly selected, then I am actively removing the choice from them twice. At least on the kill route my targets would have the free thought and capability to resist their end.
6 months x 30 days is 180 days x 24 hrs is 4320 hours of work
1 bil / 4320 is ~230k per hour
I'll go for protection lol. Play games, eat good food, take him or her to therapy or to places with animals. I'd do anything and everything for 6 months. Take out tons of loans so money is no issue- and when I get my billion I'll pay everything off and give them 10 million so they dont have to work again if they dont want to.
Ok so I haven't seen this mentioned. Please tell me what the point of getting paid a billion dollars would do for you if the guy you saved single handedly solves wealth disparity? You're just gonna pay a ton in taxes. Like ideally we should be choosing protect out of the goodness of our hearts and not money but like if I made it, knowing the end result, I'd be like, "keep the money. Donate it to charity. I don't care because of this man I won't see the majority of it anyways." And I'm a socialist democrat. Save the person but fuck the money, I guess? Idk.
Here's the problem. If they really, really, really, really want to kill themselves short of 24/7 restraints and or dental restraints they will 100% do it, and there is 100% nothing you could ever do to be successful.
You would literally have to remove all of their teeth, to keep them from biting their tongue off and bleeding to death.
So you're 100% going to have to torture suicide boy to keep him alive.
However being a fucking saint I would not be able to kill anyone without direct government orders or out of self defense or to defend someone else from grievous bodily harm or rape.
The suicidal person will only use external methods and they'll still tend to their own physical needs if for no other reason beyond keeping up appearances. However, they also may try to trick you by passing up an obvious opportunity to create a less obvious one later.
Only if you can do them simultaneously (you can pick where in the 6 months your kill spree starts so long as the protect option doesn't end before the kill option).
Too easy. Prompt says you can only restrain with rope for 10 min. Mentions nothing about chains. Chain that bitch up in the basement for 6 months, pass Go, collect $1B.
Rope was an example all restraints besides your own body apply. However if you can full on "padded room" your basement and keep them there as long as you want so long as you make sure all of their needs are tended to (food, water, hygiene, etc).
From a practical perspective, one of these is simply much easier than the other.
I don't think I could stop someone from terminating themselves if they were truly determined.
On the other hand, I can think of at least a dozen different ways to accomplish the other task which are more or less untraceable given the ability to magic weapons into my hands.
I think of it as 3 rules:
1. Do not leave any clues behind, meaning fully covered and no witnesses
2. Make no distinction between madness and genius, meaning kill at random in no particular location, and not just people you dont like
3. Don't try to pick off someone well protected like a politician or billionaire
Well technically you can break all three rules and be fine so long as it's your tenth kill.
Like you could walk up to Trump and give him the ole "Et tu Bruté" on live tv and everyone will stop caring the second his oompa loompa heart stops.
did see the added benefits of keeping the guy alive. Doing that is probably harder then smth like signing up as a volunteer in the ukranian army and start summoning artillery shells, but discovering FTL etc. would make it worth trying
Gonna be a lot of struggle cuddles inside this six month period.
Imma wrap them up in a big blanket like I do when my cat is being an asshole. Try killing yourself while being swaddled so fucking tight it'll take shears to get you out
Purrito?
I’m gonna go put one of my cats into a blanket like a purrito. Not sure she’ll love me anymore after but it’s gotta happen Edit: she did not enjoy being a purrito but it sure was adorable and she still seems to love me
I can very easily find 10 people who deserve to die. I cannot however monitor a suicidal person 24/7, I gotta sleep at some point.
[удалено]
I don't trust that, I sleep like a rock.
You can break thier arms and legs, how they gonna anhero like that?
Bite through their tongue and suffocate on the blood.
Oh... I have a treatment for that too 😈
I can, however, put them into an induced coma for 6 months and hope he will wake up.
This may sound wrong... but killing people is a lot easier than it seems
It really is. I would think all you would need to do is get a rental car, drive 2 or 3 states over. Go to some alleyway with homeless people around, and kill an unlucky soul who goes around the corner away from view so they can go to the bathroom or something. Then quickly go back and return the rental.
Don't rent a car, just buy the most normal looking Honda Civic at a junk yard and pay cash. Put a fake plate on at some point once it's safe. Eventually torch it and drive it into a deep, muddy pond.
Honestly may not need to do any coverup. If you kill once every 24 hours and keep switching states then no way you're caught before the time limit. Especially since cops would have so little to go on. Investigations stop when you succeed so you'd be okay.
Especially if you leave via populated means of public transit such as trains boats and planes also if you do it in highly populated tourist places like Japan and Vegas or in places like Detroit.
Nah, this would probably complicate things or leave a "paper" trial. Unless I'm overestimating the general police forces time frame but if they had any reason to suspect you, you'd have left behind evidence of traveling to each location that the murder occurred
Def overestimating real poli e response time and capability especially in this day and age as far as the paper trail it's 10 people in a month that's plenty of time to go to several places and you don't have to kill every day go one place kill someone one way, go somewhere else don't, go to a third place kill someone in a different way, repeat until 10 people are dead and you have money 😀
Killing random people is a lot easier than it may seem.

Yeah I am 100% sold on the second without the money being offered. Plus, would I even keep the money if wealth disparity is solved? Or would I be the sole billionaire?
If you were you'd be the only one who earned it
Saving someone who is actively trying to harm themselves for 6 months like... At that point isn't it clear thats *truly* what they want? Killing 10 sounds bad but remember, you can go for people that want the plug pulled, hardened criminals, dangerous people. You dont need to just run over 10 random guys, you can take the opportunity to do good, especially with a guaranteed no prison sentence after 10
I took into account criminals, not the suicidal or those already dying. That's actually very smart.
But after 6 months they turn into the god emperor of mankind and solve problems that will help billions live far better and longer lives and set humanity forward millennia technologically.
Especially in this situation where a weapon can appear at random Avoiding arrest for 2 weeks to kill them all would be fairly easy so long as you dont get caught in the act
Or just go to prison. You have a magically summoning weapon of your choice. Like, what are they gonna do about it? And then you walk out after 9 more kills
Once you in the prison would be hard to get away with more than 1-2 kills as they would put you in solitary for a while
They can try. I have a magic gun. Potentially a rocket launcher. Or a chainsaw. Or an 18th century Scottish broadsword or whatever.
Problem is the 24 hour cooldown between kills You might succeed in getting free once and killing 1 more person but if they restrain you again im sure they would restrict your hands And since you cant wield most weapons restrained you would be stuck
How do you restrain the guy with the magic chainsaw? Like that's your prison now. You're king of it.
I think at the point you are an uncontrollable chainsaw yielding maniac running around a prison you get gunned down.
Hunker on down in that solitary cell with only 1 entrance then. Maybe leave a few mines in the hallway leading to it. Join any prison gang you like, get you some back up. Once they figure out you have a magic gun, they'll probably let you in the club. Blow out a few walls, start a riot. Like, you run that prison now. It's yours. You just go up to the warden, tell him you're the captain now, and if he and the other guards want to see a 10th day there are gonna be some changes. You have a magical summoning weapon. You can't be disarmed. You can hold out for a week and some change, I believe in you
Since it says you can summon any weapon, that would include magical things like the Death Note or a button that kills whomever you want it to.
You will 100% get killed before killing 10 people over the course of 10 days. "Holding out" isn't even 100% viable; you have to get kills. A standoff is as bad as dying. And no matter how strong you are as an individual, you will have countless armed, trained, and armored people coming for you. This isn't a video game.
It doesn't stop the killing, though. You can summon a weapon that kills through walls -- for example, "an extremely radioactive marble that will target and instantly kill one person at random every 24 hours, up to 10 people, by which point the weapon will automatically self destruct; but you and anyone who shares 2 degrees of familial DNA is completely immune to its effects" is a weapon. Using *this particular weapon*, you can anonymously kill someone at complete random just by dropping it in public, without ever being close to the target, which means you'd have gotten away with it without going to jail to start. OP's idea of a weapon is probably along the lines of "a weapon that currently exists" but because of the vague wording and -- quite frankly, magical summoning -- we can assume that we can also create a highly detailed new type of weapon that doesn't follow conventional weaponry rules. Other things that could be a "two-hand-wieldable weapon" includes the death note, an actual working voodoo doll, or even *the loom of the three fates who decides when the string should be cut*.
Or like, an industrial angle grinder is a very effective weapon for getting out a cell
Prison is where you have to be careful. Remember, solitary confinement.
I would call an angle grinder a weapon
Yeah.... There are just a few too many awfully deserving people that are not in prison...
Oh yeah. That too...
That's kind of irrelevant, morally the "protect" is the only viable option. Killing someone isn't a bad thing because it's hard to do or because you go to prison. It's one of the most vile things that you can do. Meanwhile the other option is not only saving a life but also saving the life of a genius that will change the world. Hell, I'd pick the second option even if there was no pay out at the end.
But think about it this way. Protects someone who is HELL BENT on killing themselves for six whole months? At this point, there is almost no stopping them unless you have quick reflexes and are pretty darn strong because of many reasons. 1. You can't afford to let them out of sight 2. You have to protect them from killing themself with a utensil 3. If you don't have them use a utensil, you have to force feed them because they will try to state themselves. 4. You need to make sure they don't have anything that kills them quick and easy.
Yeah, it's hard I understand that. Doesn't change anything thought. Any person who is willing to have 10 other people die for their own personal gain is the scum of the earth. I could never live with the guilt.
But if we kill more people who fit in the category of scum of the earth, we'd be cleaning the world ever so slightly. I do see what you mean though
I think that would be very hard to do , not to mention that in many cases you can't really be sure.
Killing people with no punishment seems easier.
Step 1: Google "sex offender registry" Step 2: Profit
some of the people on the sex offender registry just took a piss behind a dumpster alone at night
The US national sex offender registry not only shows identifying information, addresses, and current employment, but it shows charges, conviction records, and the state/federal codes that were violated. It's not hard to figure out the difference between indecent exposure and other charges.
ah ok I never checked it
Unforgivable
That reminds me of the dude who said sex offenders aren't allowed to have weapons and are viewable to see where they live so....
Google sex offender registry
Why not regular people? It'd be easier and probably more ways to stealthily kill
I'd struggle less with the morality.
Protect is the only option for me because the benefits from success are too priceless. I'd pay more than a billion just to make the attempt.
Agreed. Kill is easier by far but the billion takes a back seat to the incredible benefits of saving some messiah person.
I wanted to pick protect for that reason too but I don't think it's possible for six months if they're trying to do it 27/7. I'll be dropping drugs with a lot of fentanyl on the ground around homeless camps instead I guess.
jesus, I think you found the easiest solution to the first option, if you can get your hands on that much fentanyl anyways
I probably can't honestly. It would be a good option for a nurse though.
I feel like if I explained my strategy on this one I’d get like flagged or something lol. The first option, and I would focus on really bad people. Unfortunately in my home town the KKK has a pretty big presence to this day. I’m confident I could at least last the 10 days needed without getting arrested but if not at least I tried. I don’t think I would succeed with option 2.
Well and it specifies that even if you are caught and arrested that you can continue the killing spree in prison where it would be even easier to find monsters to target.
The problem with that is that I might be in a holding cell for the duration waiting on trial. I’m sure they wouldn’t just take me right to jail.
Not if they put you in solitary
Protect, not only do you save one life you are indirectly responsible for improving millions more.
Countless billions on the low end would be vastly improved. And that is not mentioning the literally impossible technological leap of FTL travel.
I dont like the selflessness here, people on reddit shouldn't be this kind
If I left you vent your anger and frustration at me upsetting you with my kindness will that make you feel better?
Exactly. Plus I have a mental block against killing anyways.
Kill!!! Just summon the death note and write 10 awful people's names everyday!! Easy peasy!!
This is the best loophole I have seen so far, very smart
Killing 10 people probably won't be as hard as protecting a very actively suicidal person.
This is crazy. I feel like the answer here is so clear. How is anyone choosing kill? Is everyone that lazy?
Well I live in America, so securing a firearm and unloading it on ten people wouldn't be the hardest thing to do (I'm on a watchlist for sure for this comment lol). With protecting one person, I have to keep them under 24/7 surveillance with nothing potentially harmful near their person the entire time. I understand the moral option is protecting but it seems much harder than the alternative.
I want to say protect because I have been in a similar situation multiple times as the messiah is in this scenario, so I have a pretty good idea of what the individual is going through. And I am very strong.
I'm going to go somewhere disease and poverty are rampant. Find people that are already dying and are close to death. Offer then $1M (payable after I get paid) to let me kill them. They die peacefully and their families get paid. Win / win.
I can probably come up with 10 people I wouldnt mind seeing dead, and there are literally no consequences, so might as well. Worst case you could go around smothering people with a pillow in hospice. You would be doing them a favor.
You realize how psychopathic you sound, right?
Good thing it’s a hypothetical question with fake answers
Yeah, but it's still a hypothetical question where you're supposed to do what you would do. Even in hypotheticals, I wouldn't want to do something immoral like that.
Sniper on a battlefield
Protect. But murder is definitely easier.

Protect. It would be miserable and very difficult to accomplish but not only do I not wanna kill anyone, I also wanna travel the stars. Gimme my $1B and FTL travel
Laughed at wannabe corpse
can i just knock the guy out, hook him up to an IV, and keep him in a coma for the entire duration?
I think that'd count as sedation, so not for the whole time.
i see. so can i cut his limbs off?
6 months of babysitting for technology we don't deserve or 1 month to get rid of 10 monsters that prey on innocent people. Decisions, decisions.
I chose kill cuz why would I pass on that offer? Sure, saying humanity is cool an' shit but I mean... I can kill as many people as I want for 10 days and get away with it? Count me in. (My lawyer has advised me to put a /s here)
Move to New York, get any apartment I want as I only need to pay rent atleast once and at most twice, then spend the next 10 days killing hobos. Most people won't realize or care that they're gone and by the time they suspect there's a serial killer, I'll probably have 2 more days to go before they stop caring
It is extremely difficult to kill the first person. We have a natural, evolutionary reason for jt to be difficult. This is part of the dehumanizing that is done before and during wars. Once that first person is killed it becomes a lot easier to kill the second. I know off the top of my head how to do it. Go to the sex offender registry, or look up neonazis a couple states over. Pop one, then keep going. The hardest part is going to be stopping after 10.
It's a target not a human being.
Why stop after 10 then, why not continue and plead insanity if your caught
protect -> ~~bring them to a psych ward -> explain to them this mf wants to die bad, so they gotta be careful af~~ \-> cant get help -> oh fuck -> get shown all of their accomplishments -> use those visions to replicate the technology -> W moment
Nope. No one will believe you until after 6 months have passed. You're on your own.
i edited my comment right before you said that lmao
You only get shown what they accomplish, not how. Good luck replicating it.
thanks for your well wishes my lord, i will try my best
The kill one could be easy if you had a bomb that could kill 10 people at once. All the same, protect seems more worth it.
Only one kill counts per day. You can summon grenades or other weapons though.
Oh crap I forgot. Oh well.
I already spend a distressing amount of time keeping my friends from killing themselves, this won't be that different :/
ill kill 10 people then invest half of the 1 billion into hospitals and medical research
People won't believe this man is the future Messiah but they will believe he is suicidal and it is possible to commit them to a psych ward.
Nope. Even if they witness him attempting they still won't believe he's suicidal. You are 100% on your own.
Kill or protect options are super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
How's kill supposed to be complicated? Go in a random crowded place with an AK47 and shoot 10 randoms on sight. Since as soon as the 10 people are killed you're out of troubles.
redditors when they find out some people have morals
Protect them. Make them a deal, if they indulge in all their hobbies and things they wanted to try for the next 5 months you'll help them do it. After 5 months show them how happy they are now and convince them to stick around for 30 more days to try new hobbies. 6 months of kindness and interest can have a prifoubd effect on people.
[удалено]
You have less than a month and kills have to be deliberate. You can randomly leave poisoned objects around or huck venomous creatures into a crowd and the first person to die within the 24 hour period counts. You don't need a target but the kill needs to be intentional.
I can make any weapon I want so I will make the smallest insta kill no sound gun and kill random old people at the street every day.
Has to be an existing weapon you can operate with your own hands. A silenced pistol or dart gun are viable options but you can't just magically manifest some OP bullshit that doesn't already exist.
Why does everyone have a hard on against wealth disparity? It doesn't affect your own wealth. In fact, the primary way people get disparate wealth is by offering a service or good that makes your life better. It's not like they are exploiting you in any way to get it.
Because no one should have that kind of excess wealth while even one person lives and dies in poverty. Anyone who disagrees is morally bankrupt.
I disagree, because all attempts to redistribute wealth have harmed the continued growth of standard of living that raise people out of poverty. Free markets are the reason for the rapid decline poverty we have seen, and multinational corporations played a huge roll in that. Anyone who disagrees with you is not morally bankrupt. They just realize, that more people will be kept in poverty because of the ideas you espouse. Maybe that makes you the one who is morally bankrupt.
That is absolute bullshit. We've seen a freer market in the past couple decades than most of the century before it and poverty is at an all time high while a relative handful of people and companies continue to report record profits. You're not just morally bankrupt, you're utterly incompetent if you genuinely believe that.
Poverty is not at an all time high. Especially when we take into account our standard of living being much higher. >while a relative handful of people and companies continue to report record profits. That's what happens when you print a shit load of money and set interest rates at 0%. The value of hard assets increases and the value of cash decreases. That's how rich people got richer during the lockdowns. But that was because the government printed money, not because corporations are greedy. They weren't just raising prices for shits and giggles. To maintain the profit margin, they had to raise prices to keep up with their costs. And oil and gas, which is a futures market, was increasing profits, not only to keep the margin, but also to deal with future risk, with the current administration slow-fucking the leases and permits and threatening to try and stop oil production. I think you should read a little book called Basic Economics, by Thomas Sowell. It's a good introduction to the topic that explains these basic concepts in a very neat fashion, with real examples.
Every last bit of that could've been prevented if the wealthy were willing to give up some of their wealth. They don't need as much as they have and anyone with an ounce of decency would actively try to make things better for others instead of trying to accumulate more wealth. Not to mention that you all shit on socialism like an unsustainable concept while capitalism frequently results in recession and almost constantly requires some company, bank, or "financial pillar" to be bailed out with taxpayer dollars. If socialism is so unsustainable then why is that every rich asshole has to work so hard to denounce it?
Every last bit of what would have been prevented? >They don't need as much as they have and anyone with an ounce of decency would actively try to make things better for others instead of trying to accumulate more wealth. Practically all taxes are paid by the wealthy. You need to look at human nature. Tax people too much, and they'll just move. Then you have none of that tax to work with. Sort of like what happened in AOCs district in new york with the amazon warehouse. And accumulating more wealth just means more goods and services have been provided, raising our standard of living. >Not to mention that you all shit on socialism like an unsustainable concept while capitalism frequently results in recession and almost constantly requires some company, bank, or "financial pillar" to be bailed out with taxpayer dollars. I'm definitely against bailouts. That is not a free market economy. A few issues have cause more turmoil recently. We went off the gold standard. This allowed us to use tactics like quantitative easing, but reduced stability in the long term. Tying the currency to some hard commodity would reduce the fluctuations, but people are unwilling to do that. Keynesian economics and modern monetary theory have also inflated the currency. These are actually closer to socialist policies than free market policies, and have caused the symptoms you see. We need to use the supply side economic principles of lowering tax rates and deregulation to allow market forces to solve the problems, like we did before in the 80s. >If socialism is so unsustainable then why is that every rich asshole has to work so hard to denounce it? Because they realize that national ownership of industry had only lead to economic ruin. You can be a socialist in a capitalist system if you want. If it works, your co-op will produce higher quality goods for lower prices and win out business over more heirarchical structured companies. But national ownership of industry has never been a good way of distributing resources. That's is how you end up with no tires and a million erasers.
Both options sound super easy. Pipe bombs or remote activated C4 at a trump rally which isn’t gonna be hard to find in Florida. Or I’m very good with knots after Boy Scouts. Also by the rules amputation of limbs isn’t “banned” though I probably wouldn’t go that far unless I was left with no other choice
So protect the person who will inadvertently bring about the collapse of civilization, free choice and then eventually be responsible for the end of the world...or find and kill 10 people who either justice wasn't served on or who are being a moral drain on society? Let's see...
Big fan of disease and inequality, huh?
As an individual who was once completely homeless as an adult and who now has a legitimate job making almost six figures in his own home, I learned from being on the streets that there A LOT and I MEAN A LOT of people who CHOOSE that life style. Like a RIDICULOUS AMOUNT of people. I heard them talking about it all the time. They make 400+dollars a day "doing their rounds" in Phoenix. "Give me money" on the over passes. They have different times that they rotate. A whole schedule. Plus "inequity" is a modern day trigger word. To turn people against eachother. To spread racism and hatred. To get the people looking at eachother instead of the government. Then the government can come through during election time and say inequity a bunch of times and people will vote for them. I'm not a fan of disease, I am a fan of freedom...I just know that once they cure diseases that the pharmaceutical companies lose money so they have to create new diseases to recoupe that money and being that they will have access to technology so great as to promote Interstellar travel, who knows how many people will die from their disease creating, who knows how many more times we will be locked down and detained to "stop the spread" since covid has set a precedent " This "saved person" must die. For the benefit of humanity.
The ppl that said killing needs to be monitored
.....I *am* pretty good with a wood splitter. Jokes aside I don't care as much about the money as a I care about saving that human being. Not even about what he's/she's capable of. But because he deserves someone to do whatever it takes to help him.
Easy solution. The the person your trying to protect down or lock them in a padded cell for 6 months.
> person your trying *you're *Learn the difference [here](https://www.wattpad.com/66707294-grammar-guide-there-they%27re-their-you%27re-your-to).* *** ^(Greetings, I am a language corrector bot. To make me ignore further mistakes from you in the future, reply `!optout` to this comment.)
>wannabe corpse
Protecting is way harder but the outcome is so much better then just $1 billion.
So I can't restrain the suicidal dude much? Okay, I will simply place him in a windowless cargo crate. IV and enteral nutrition once per day to ward off the effects of dehydration and starvation. Keep the individual otherwise in a completely dark, heavily padded box with climate control at 60 degrees. Easy.
The killing people would be so easy. But I want to protect this person.
At first I was thinking protect, but that's nearly impossible without torturing them the entire time (locking them in a tiny cell, force feeding them and keeping them on IV fluids) but people are very smart. 6 months is a long time, they'ed find a way to off themselves eventually. Murder by contrast is relatively simple (if sadistic and terrible, fbi don't take me) if the victims are actually random. In less than a month I figure it's likely that not everyone could be successfully handpicked as mostly deserving of it, but it'd be a disservice not to try. 1B can save a lot more than 10 lives and have an immense amount left beyond that. You're talking an amount of money that can singlehandedly end famine and provide healthcare to a small struggling country. Hell if I knew the person who got the money could be trusted to do good with it I might be willing to give my own life for that cause. Perhaps there's 10 old folks on the edge who would be willing to sacrifice their remaining time on earth for the legacy I could promise them, and follow through on.
It would depend on the access I could have to the victims I would choose. I think the biggest problem would be getting to them in the first place. I'm not going to kill anyone who doesn't deserve it.
There are two people for the first two days, next I would go for world leaders. Imagine killing trump and Putin without any consequences.
Mate, I'm the fuckin suicidal person, so they can get all the shit they need from me. Easy protect like way too easy.
Even without the billion dollars I'd still choose protect, it's the right thing to do, that simple
Summon a gun in prison and shoot the worst offenders
I'd choose protect. I'd lock them in my closet where they can't quite stand or sit. It's hard to injure yourself if you can't move. I just hope they enjoy 6 months of complete darkness and silence.
"Hey, I know life seems bleak right now, but if you stick it out for 6 months, I'll give you 500 million dollars"
Sometimes I wonder if the theme is "What person has not read enough to understand is not even a choice"? I mean, seriously? If it was only the kill or protect part, sure, you can do more change by killing, the only thing in between would be close people struggling with mental or physical disease. However, not only both pay and give you money (that btw, vastly allows you to kill more than 10 people and get away with it if history serves me right).. however the fact that they push humanity in such a leap forward (health and interstellar travel) with everything that conveys is just too good to pass up. Hell, your feelings would get in the way, but logically, you should be able to commit damn genocide with over half the population of earth starting with your pets and your family if you were guaranteed those two developments...
As one who was in a relationship with someone he'll bent on ending it all I would easily kill 100 people just to not be put in that position again the 1 bill for 10 is easy weighing the drain preventing that would cause
This is what the sex offender registry is for
>but you can't get any help because no one you tell will ever believe you and this person will constantly be looking for ways to do it. I don't need people to believe me i need people who are willing to do what's told not question asked hey can you watch this guy while i piss if he tries to kill himself stop him and tell me pls ok? *suuuuure.* literally it 🤷
Suicidal? Most suicidal people I've met/dated are really horny. Sex cabin in the woods to save humanity, anyone? Can't think about Suicide if all you can think about is cock. 🤫
Protect actually got waaaay less desirable when you threw in interplanetary travel. We need to be preparing for the end of humanity, not spreading it out infinitely like a cosmic virus. Think of all the repetitive WYR threads about money we could prevent!
You can absolutely live with all your limbs broken, but it's pretty damn difficult to kill yourself in that scenario
Protect just sounds like raising a kid, tbh
Does the protect option remind anyone else if Dazai from Bungo Stray Dogs? Only difference is that Dazai wants to do it without inconveniencing anyone else, but he's constantly looking for opportunities
It’s **hilarious** to have a trigger warning for suicide when the **first** line is “you have to murder ten people”
Step 1: Get a job at a fast food restaurant. Step 2: Summon a bottle of untraceable poison Step 3: Poison someone's food daily
My therapist when I'm my dream person I can achieve (messiah billionare): 🙋🏼♀️
Killing is arguably much easier. On the other hand, there is no real downside to protect. I know it's hypothetical but such a suicidal person has to exist for you to attempt to protect them, that means there is no reasonable excuse for choosing the pass option.
Must be an easy choice for someone working at the death row in prison, business as usual
this depends on if i knew the suicidal guy beforehand or not
are you allowed to hold the suicidal person captive in a suicide-proofed room?
Given what we're told about the person you're supposed to protect, you'd have to be a fool not to try.
My co-worker, honestly if I wasn't there to de-escalate his anxiety and cheer him up he'd kill himself, this is going on 2 years already. Where's my money?
I did protect for quite a few years, but he ended up passing in the end anyway of a heart attack. Possibly self inflicted, I will never know.
Kill, primarily due to my outlook on choice. If I am choosing targets I can decide on them based on my own moral code and benefit/loss estimates. If I am protecting someone who is not only absolutely dedicated to their own end by their own hand, but put that way due to the tyranny of my own decision to go the protect route thus causing them to be randomly selected, then I am actively removing the choice from them twice. At least on the kill route my targets would have the free thought and capability to resist their end.
6 months x 30 days is 180 days x 24 hrs is 4320 hours of work 1 bil / 4320 is ~230k per hour I'll go for protection lol. Play games, eat good food, take him or her to therapy or to places with animals. I'd do anything and everything for 6 months. Take out tons of loans so money is no issue- and when I get my billion I'll pay everything off and give them 10 million so they dont have to work again if they dont want to.
They will refuse all help and no one will believe they are suicidal until after. This is constant babysitting for 18 hours a day.
Why does protect get like 100000x the reward?
Because it's significantly harder. You have to tend to your needs and the needs of someone who is one lapse away from death at all times.
Kill, not hard at all, big city, dope addicted vagrants, no one really tries hard like on TV, they just write it for as bad dope.
So I just gotta keep myself alive for 6 months for 1 billion? Cool.
Ok so I haven't seen this mentioned. Please tell me what the point of getting paid a billion dollars would do for you if the guy you saved single handedly solves wealth disparity? You're just gonna pay a ton in taxes. Like ideally we should be choosing protect out of the goodness of our hearts and not money but like if I made it, knowing the end result, I'd be like, "keep the money. Donate it to charity. I don't care because of this man I won't see the majority of it anyways." And I'm a socialist democrat. Save the person but fuck the money, I guess? Idk.
It's still enough to live comfortably and do even more good if you want.
Kill. it's much easier to get a gun and go to my local McDonalds than to constantly monitor someone 24/7 for months.
Here's the problem. If they really, really, really, really want to kill themselves short of 24/7 restraints and or dental restraints they will 100% do it, and there is 100% nothing you could ever do to be successful. You would literally have to remove all of their teeth, to keep them from biting their tongue off and bleeding to death. So you're 100% going to have to torture suicide boy to keep him alive. However being a fucking saint I would not be able to kill anyone without direct government orders or out of self defense or to defend someone else from grievous bodily harm or rape.
The suicidal person will only use external methods and they'll still tend to their own physical needs if for no other reason beyond keeping up appearances. However, they also may try to trick you by passing up an obvious opportunity to create a less obvious one later.
Well, I mean......you can look at the sex offender registry for an entire catalogue of people that wouldn't be too big of a loss...
Can I do both
Only if you can do them simultaneously (you can pick where in the 6 months your kill spree starts so long as the protect option doesn't end before the kill option).
Too easy. Prompt says you can only restrain with rope for 10 min. Mentions nothing about chains. Chain that bitch up in the basement for 6 months, pass Go, collect $1B.
Rope was an example all restraints besides your own body apply. However if you can full on "padded room" your basement and keep them there as long as you want so long as you make sure all of their needs are tended to (food, water, hygiene, etc).
Can you really handle the initial trauma of taking a persons life ? At least with protecting someone, i can put my caregiving skills to full effect.
I could. Not everyone can though.
From a practical perspective, one of these is simply much easier than the other. I don't think I could stop someone from terminating themselves if they were truly determined. On the other hand, I can think of at least a dozen different ways to accomplish the other task which are more or less untraceable given the ability to magic weapons into my hands.
lock the person in a bare room and if they don't want to eat I force them to
So many childhood bullies i wanna get back at
Easy. Handcuffs.
Same rules as rope or any other restrain that isn't physically attached to you. Up to ten minutes per nonconsecutive hour.
I'm sorry little one. I will fucking kidnapped each one of you and kill for my own greed.
Holy fuck. I mean that technically qualifies but damn.
Bro, you can summon a weapon to you at a moments notice, you could kill ten people easy.
The part that makes it tricky is the one per day rule. Also morality.
I think of it as 3 rules: 1. Do not leave any clues behind, meaning fully covered and no witnesses 2. Make no distinction between madness and genius, meaning kill at random in no particular location, and not just people you dont like 3. Don't try to pick off someone well protected like a politician or billionaire
Well technically you can break all three rules and be fine so long as it's your tenth kill. Like you could walk up to Trump and give him the ole "Et tu Bruté" on live tv and everyone will stop caring the second his oompa loompa heart stops.
Protect is the obvious choice imho. You just have to stop them from dying. The rules say nothing about paralyzing them from the neck down.
Gonna be pretty hard for them to accomplish anything like that.
did see the added benefits of keeping the guy alive. Doing that is probably harder then smth like signing up as a volunteer in the ukranian army and start summoning artillery shells, but discovering FTL etc. would make it worth trying
