PLEASE READ THIS POST FIRST. THIS CONTAINS A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE VITAL TO UNDERSTANDING THIS THREAD.
SCENARIO:
Recently, on a reliable unnamed science source, scientists have predicted the world is finally coming to an end. Angry Mayan Sun Stone enthusiasts were protesting frantically on the streets and some people yet pass by as if nothing is happening. "This is clearly not related to any religious beliefs," Dr. Markson said to reporters this morning, but due to the ranting protesters and other reporters, he was very hard to hear. "Especially not the Christian OR Mayan ones!" he called out to the crowd, making some protesters leave.
Because of lack of evidence, we really have no way of knowing of whether the world is really going to end or not. "I can't wait to prove this science geeks wrong!" Jim Sanderson said, among various reporters in the crowd. "The gods will be appeased!" Millions of people still act like nothing is happening, probably because people who predict these things are always wrong.
Although the end seems near, it may not be as close as we think. Many people are contemplating what do and we, as a doomed civilization, are waiting to see what happens.

HOW TO PLAY:
Start a single topic that begins with:
"If the worlds end tomorrow, I would..."

If the world was going to end, I would say "stuff the diet" and eat a extra large helping of desert plus a cake or two.

If the world was going to end, my last question would be whether this post is a serious one or not.

What "reliable unnamed science source"? The hallucination that the world is coming to an end is pure nonsense. Claiming the support of some anonymous science source gives the hallucination no credibility at all.

lol@people being confused about whether this is a serious thread when it's in the games forum.

Aha.

Keep in mind that it was linked from the home page. I don't know about everyone else, but I rarely look to see in what forum the post was made.

When not viewed in the context of some kind of game, the post made no sense at all.
