Sorry Admins, but here I go adding a forum game of my own to the board! Perhaps a separate section for Games/RP can be set up?
Anyway, this game is a little like like ‘Would You Rather’, except instead of multiple-choice questions, you now get open-ended ones! The preceding poster writes a situational problem and ends with the question What Do You Do (WDYD), and the next one has to reply with what he/she would do in the circumstances. It can be an absurd or realistic take on the response when faced with such a situation (I got the idea for this and the abbreviation WDYD from a quiz section in Terry Deary’s Horrible Histories books. Cool, huh?).
A: You’re on stage for a school play and you forget your lines. WDYD?
B: I ad-lib/improvise. You’re a police officer and you’re out of jelly donuts. WDYD?
etc.
Again, bear in mind not to pose vulgar or adult-matured situations. Try to keep it PG around here. So I’ll start with a quote from my favourite live-action movie of all-time:
“There’s a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes above fifty miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below fifty, it blows up. WDYD?”
I feed it some peanuts and walk/drive away (My family used to do this in our hometown all the time, yes, we actually have monkeys by the side of the road! ).
Your one true love is on a spaceship about to depart Earth forever. WDYD?
Hmm… this sounds familiar. I could’ve sworn I’ve read that same exact scenario in some random guy’s fanfic. If only I could remember who the author was…
I would stick out my electronic thumb and hitch a ride on the ship!
You’re locked in a room and water is slowly seeping in from the floor. WDYD?
Oh haha, well, I wasn’t referencing ‘Wait for Me’, I was taking Wall-E’s main plot, actually. But thanks for the reference!
I’d pound the keyboard like the Angry German Kid and throw the computer out the window.
You’re a superhero. A French terrorist has robbed the city’s bank and is making his escape. He has attached a portable explosive device on to a fanboy who has wandered into your crime scene, and is now getting away, while the fanboy’s malfunctioning power-boots are propelling him into the sky. WDYD?
Self-facepalm Sorry about that fail! I had no idea why I thought that you were referencing ‘Wait for Me’, haha. See, this is what happens when I try to be witty!
(Your story is epic, though!)
Wake up! Because it’s obviously a dream right? (Sorry, I tried to think of something witty to say that would be like the original movie, but I came up blank.)
You’re trapped in a elevator that’s falling toward the ground at a very high rate of speed. WDYD?
Shout and shriek… in joy! I’m clearly on the Tower of Terror at Walt Disney World.
You are swimming in the ocean, like you always do. It is just another average day in the big blue world, except for one thing: it is your son’s first day of school. You take him to class and suddenly see him swimming out into open water, away from his school mates and teacher. What do you do?
I’d tranquilize the animal and relocate either one of them to a separate location.
Your boss is reprimanding you about your poor performance at work when you glance out the window and spot a man being robbed in an alley outside your office. WDYD?
I’d pay attention to what’s going on outside until my boss gets mad and threatens to fire me, to which I respond by grabbing him by the neck and throwing him few several walls in the office.
You’re stuck in a broken-down elevator, waiting to be rescued. You notice that the person who’s stuck in there with you, under a big pair of shades and a sunhat, is your all-time hero, and he/she looks a little worried. WDYD?
Is that a reference, Biggest_Pixar_Fan_Ami? I was thinking Speed or the Matrix (I mean Keanu+Shades=Neo and both movies featured an exploding elevator)… but I’m at a loss.
I’d uh… give my all-time hero a pep talk and then let him/her rescue me. Failing which, I’d just open the overhead access shaft and climb the cables to freedom.
…
You’re driving a huge petrol tanker loaded with nitro-glycerin down a steep mountain side, when suddenly your brakes fail. WDYD?
(Didn’t intend it to be a reference to a movie or anything… maybe ‘The Wages of Fear’? I dunno…)
No, I wasn’t intending any references, TDIT. I haven’t even seen any of those films, if I’m honest.
I just put it because I was wondering what it would be like to be stuck in an elevator with John Lasseter (Which would be so awesome- him all to myself!)
Jump out the door and get my phone from my pocket to take a video of the explosion when the lorry blows up and enjoy the show! All from a birds-eye-ish view (from the mountain).
A tornado is a little way in the distance, and is rapidly picking up speed and strength. You’re alone, feeling sick, and have no form of transport anywhere. You only have a tin shack to shelter. WDYD?
Are you being subliminal, Ami? Cos’ the director of Speed, Jan de Bont, also directed Twister…
Anyhoo, I’d take a page from the movie and tie myself to the support beams with my belt and hope for the best!
Famous riddle: There is 3 people at a bus stop. Your best friend, a sick old lady, and the woman/man of your dreams. Its pouring rain and you only have room for 1 more person in your car. WDYD?

I would probably go after him and bring him back.
