Q&A - Alekto (WYR)

Hey all!

Back with more would you rather questions this month, and in the hot seat is Alekto, who I have to say would probably not get the point of this game. I did have fun with her answers, though; I hope you enjoy reading them. :)

-----------------

1. Would you rather always be 10 minutes late or 20 minutes early?

Early. The excess time would be annoying, but being late would grate on me even more.

2. Would you rather be able to take back anything you say or know the contents of any conversation that is about you?

Take back anything I say. I have no desire to be aware of the things most people say about me. There are some things you just have to accept are better for you not to know.

3. Would you rather be the funniest person in a room or the smartest one?

I suppose the most humorous. I know plenty of both, and it is more often the ones with good senses of humor who… make others happy. At least, in certain settings, it is helpful. And I have never had that sort of social ease. It might be nice, but I could suppress it if it were not. Not so the other option.

4. Would you rather be able to read minds or predict the future?

In the end, they are the same.

5. Would you rather be criticized or be ignored?

Ignored, by most people. Criticized if they have the first idea what they’re talking about.

6. Would you rather have the ability to see 10 minutes into the future or 150 years into the future?

Ten minutes seems much more practically useful, so that one, I suppose.

7. Would you rather be forced to sing along or dance along to every song that you hear?

...Dance, I suppose. Not that either of these options sounds remotely pleasant.

8. Would you rather spend three years in prison, or three years at war?

Three years at war. If I were asked to do such a thing by someone who could actually compel me, I know it would be for no lesser cause than the fate of everything I hold dear. If I am not willing to fight for that, what am I?

9. Would you rather ask for help with a difficult task or figure out how to do it yourself?

Generally, I prefer to figure things out for myself, but I recognize when this is not possible and will ask for help then.

10. Would you rather cheat at a game and win or lose respectably-well?

Lose respectably, obviously. What point is there in cheating at a game?
