The horrible choices game - Pony edition!

[northstar3184]

I'd have to destroy the pony.

You have a friend who has a big collection full of ponies that happen to be one of a kind, and your grails.  They're very special to her.  Your friend says you can have them for free.   But their plastic is breaking down and there's no way to stop it unless you burn your own precious collection and make room for her ponies at your house.  Your collection is pretty big as well and is full of ponies that you're very attached to for sentimental reasons.  But you're out of space for more ponies.  Do you burn your collection in order to gain and save your friend's?

Friend can keep. Sentimental are in some ways far more valuable then a Grail. I wouldn't even burn the fakies my daughter found for me, for an expensive Grail. Besides at some point plastic will break down anyway.

So your ponies come to life by an ancient irreversible spell that gives life to inanimate objects. They don't need to eat, nor be house-trained but have their canon personalities and powers and your government scientist neighbor is getting too nosy and persistent for your liking and wants to study and dissect them. Do you choose to

A) Let the neighbor have them for scientific study and still be able to see your friends and loved ones.

Or

B) Move far away so no one can study and dissect them but will have to cut off as much contact from the outside world including loved ones so the scientist can't track you down.

I'd choose B. I'd move away. I couldn't let anyone harm the ponies.


A wizard visits you with an interesting opportunity. He presents you with 5 vaults. 3 of the vaults have your top 3 grail ponies in mint condition. But beware. If you pick one of the other 2 vaults, your entire pony collection will appear and turn into an army or Princess Rinse and Spit before your very eyes. Additionally, every future pony you buy will morph into an additional Princess Rinse and Spit. You may choose to pass on the opportunity or take your chances with one vault.

If you opened a vault containing your grails, you'll be presented with a second opportunity. You may walk away with those grails and keep your pony collection intact. Or you risk it all by opening a second vault with a 50-50 chance of an even greater reward. The punishments for opening the wrong vaults will remain the same, and this time those precious grails you just won will turn into Princess Rinse and Spit as well. But if you open one of the two remaining good vaults you'll get an entire mint condition collection, including nirvanas, of the pony generation of your choice.

What do you choose:
A) I'm not risking my ponies. I'd pass on the whole thing.
B) With 3 good vaults to 2 bad vaults, the odds are in my favor. I'm taking the chance to get those 3 grails, but after that I'm walking away and not taking any further risks.
C) If I get those grail ponies, I'll take the 50-50 risk and go for the entire mint condition collection. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity!

[Rainbow Dash]

I'd walk away.

You've just won an auction for a one-of-a-kind custom pony someone's made of your favorite celebrity.  Only, when the pony arrives in the mail you discover that it isn't a custom, but that somehow your favorite celebrity has been imprisoned inside a plastic miniature horse.  Do you keep the sentient, trapped celebripony (who's fully capable of talking to you, but unable to move), or do you destroy the pony to release him/her from his/her confines?

[Leave a Whisper]

Destroy. And I hope someone would do the same for me.

[Ponyfan]

One night you hear a knock at your door. When you open it a stranger stands there. Before you can close the door he sprays something on you. When you wake up several hours later you find you're in a strange place. You are startled when you find a man  watching you and holding the lot of ponies that had just arrived the day before.

The man informs you that the lot of ponies really belong to him and his tribe of people. He had just tracked them down when you had bought them so he has brought you to his tropical island to give you a choice. You can either surrender the ponies or keep them. If you give the ponies back the man will make sure you return home safely. If you choose to keep them you must stay on the island forever with no chance to escape and become the man's servant for the rest of your life. He assures you that as his servant you will be treated well and allowed to live out your life. Do you let him have the ponies or stay on the island?

Giving this a bump.

I'd let him have the ponies but I'd ask to have my money back   

You wake up tied to a chair and you can't move at all. You see your best friend or any person who is dear to you tied to a chair next to you. They're not awake and you can't tell if they're breathing. A strange man with a knife walks into the room. In his other hand he has a bag of your ponies. You know they're yours by some marking on pony's body or ooak only you have. The man tells you that he's going to kill your friend or destroy the ponies. If you have a big collection he shakes the bag and tells there are more where that came from. Right before you agree to give him your ponies he tells you'll have to watch. He brings a bag of instruments and tells you about all the wicked ways he've came up with to wreck your beloved collection. He says he'll do it slowly. It may take days and he won't give you any food or water. He also says that if you make the slightest attempt to run or call for help he'll kill your friend and burn you with the house (and ponies too!). But you can ask him to return your ponies in return for your friend's life. You decide to wait.
A) While he speaks you found a place where your ropes have loosen. You can also feel the cellphone in your pocket. You can untie yourself while he's busy and smash him with a chair or call the police and talk to your kidnapper to make them know what's going on. Your attempt might fail and you already know what happens next. You try to do it anyway.
B) You're too scared to even move. It's not ponies that's on your mind. You decide to give up on them to save your friend. But what if your friend is dead already? What if he's not real and it's just a puppet? It's kind of dark and you can't really see him well. What if the maniac is bluffing and he doesn't have the guts to kill a person? Maybe someone is testing you. Or he'll kill you both when he's finished with ponies. So many questions. But you've made up your mind. It's just not worth it.

_{I like this game. It's like The Saw but with ponies. Is my version horrible enough?}

I'd let him have the ponies. Ponies can be replaced/ fixed. A dead human however...besides, my friend could help pay to get new ponies!

Huzzah! Through some ancient power, a mysterious person has gone poof into your house! As it ransacks your kitchen, eating you out of house and home, it tells you it comes from a magical land where ponies have the ability to talk and perform magic. The gods of this world however, need the plastic flesh of great to mint ponies to sustain the magic needed for life there. And the gods got a bad case of the munchies and ate the last one. What? Gods get hungry too!So this mysterious stranger came to you for help. If you give it all your collection, or the amount of ponies in your collection, they will bestow upon you the Title of hero, with people in their world singing your praises and stories. Your name will be known from one end of the kingdom to the next. You get to kiss babies, have epic songs and poems written about you and other heroic rewards!So, do you:

A) tell them no. And get out of my house! Geez! You don't just poof into my sofa like that!
B) hand over the ponies. This world obviously needs them more than me. And being a hero doesn't sound half bad.
C) ask everyone here to donate all the great to mint consisting ponies they have to help this poor world. And get a dietary specialist to help out those gods.

[Strawberry Swirl]

A. I could care less if you starve, I NEED my plastic horse hoard! [/selfish jerk]

You're stuck on an island with no food or wildlife for miles. Just your mlp colllection- do you eat it all and live long enough to be rescued or starve to death because your will to live is stronger than your materialism?

[babypowder]

Keep them and starve. I don't think I could even want to eat my ponies, as they would taste pretty bad!

You wake up sealed in a cave with a magic lamp. The door is unmovable, and it is pitch dark and you can't see nor hear. You hear a whisper from the magic lamp telling you that it has the power to transport you back home, but at the end of the cave there is a tunnel with either a chest filled with ever rare pony you could imagine, or a pit that leads into a giant pool of lava.

1. You could go home and try to forget about the lamp's words or
2. Try to find the Grail ponies, if you do, you can go home with a huge pile of rare ponies, but there is most likely a lava pit instead where you could die a horrible death. And there is no light, so you would just die.

[Ponyfan]

I'd go home. Ponies aren't worth falling in to lava.

You are surrounded by a bright light. When the light fades you find yourself trapped in small cage. An alien is staring at you and saying the same word over and over. Amazingly you find a dictionary in the cage and although your wrists are tied together you manage to find the word the alien keeps repeating and realize it means pet. The alien finally realized you can't understand him and switches to a language you understand. He tells you on his planet humans are considered pets and he has selected you to be his. The atmoshpere on his planet is toxic to humans so trying to escape would be pointless. He assures you that if you don't resist you will be treated well but you can expect to either be locked in your cage or wear a restraining harness at all times.  The alien is suddenly distracted as he notices your pony collection. It turns out the plastic ponies are a very vaulable commodity on this planet. The alien leaves you alone for a moment before returning with pet supplies. He gives you  a choice You can stay on the planet and be his pet or give him all your poines. Even if you give him all the ponies all future ponies wil become his too. What do you decide?

You've finally met a good-looking, witty guy who fills your stomach with butterflies. He's super into you and you've been going on regular dates and calling and texting for a while now. He's a stand-up guy who is everything you ever wanted to find and you think this relationship could go somewhere. You have him over for dinner for the first time and he sees the pony collection you keep in your room. He tries not to be impolite but you can tell he thinks it's weird. He still calls you and asks you out after this happens, but when you ask him directly he gently admits that he doesn't understand your hobby and that he's not sure he can buy in to spending so much money on toy horses. You try to explain their importance to you but you realize that he'll never get it and that if you have a future with him, it's not a future with ponies. What do you do?
