The This or That Game

Definitely the ring of pride. Knowledge is power right?

DungeonMaster · August 2, 2018, 5:40pm

You guys are smart enough. I need that ring, because I’m a dummy. Or at least the wallet of greed. Then I wouldnt need to be as smart.

changern · August 2, 2018, 9:01pm

The wallet of greed would cause too many other issues I think. It would be nice though!

DungeonMaster · August 2, 2018, 10:39pm

It would certainly get me out of the mountain of student loan debt I’m in!

Pretty sure I thought I had the flask when I was drinking.
The bipolar in me wants the wallet. adventures and shopping for deals are what my dreams are made of!
The ring sounds extra cool, though. My memory is not what it used to be, but is still good enough.
I’ll go with the wallet. I like experiencing things. Doing things costs money, usually.

Watch of Sloth - for sure. Then perhaps I could take a dang nap without my boys climbing all over me.

DungeonMaster · August 3, 2018, 3:55am

Haha! Right? Sleep as much as I want and go for as long a run as I want. There was a book about this… Eddy Fantastic. Ever read it? He had a device that allowed him to slow down time, but found that while time passed slowly for everyone else, it passed normally for him and he began aging at an accelerated rate compared to everyone else. That could be a drawback to the watch.

Ring of pride, no contest. It would be like the movie limitless without the consequences… aside from that whole not having a soul thing

DungeonMaster · August 3, 2018, 4:01am

Haha! Seems like a pretty big consequence, if you’re care about stuff like not being buried headfirst in your own boiling feces for eternity.

Blade · August 3, 2018, 4:07am

Hhaha, boiling feces!?! That’s a very unique description of hell. Count me out lol

DungeonMaster · August 3, 2018, 4:14am

I think that was the punishment on the circle of pride depicted in the Divine Comedy, Dante’s Inferno, by Dante Alighieri. That was terrible, but some of the other rings were equally, if not more painful to think about.

Blade · August 3, 2018, 4:22am

Ahhh yes, the only thing I remember from that is the punishment for the hoarders and the wasters… lucky for them no feces involved! Might have to reread

Insperation · August 3, 2018, 5:27am

The ring. Easy choice.

Although there is some truth to the saying ignorance is bliss.

Bears515054 · August 3, 2018, 6:13am

Wallet. You can do good with the money and hopefully earn back your soul.

Melbamann · August 3, 2018, 11:29am

Thank you for clarifying this! I am a server. When I moved to Illinois from Arkansas noone understood that a Dr. Pepper is a Coke. If I offer a refill on your Coke, no need to tell me that you are drinking Mt. Dew. I what you are drinking. And it is still a Coke. Pepsi? It is a Coke! Lol! Glad to see you back @SweetT, miss your book club

DungeonMaster · August 3, 2018, 1:12pm

Maybe true, but where’s the money coming from? What if, let’s say, it’s a direct account to a child trafficking regime or it’s blood money? Profits are funneled to the wallet daily. How’s your soul feel now? You can do all the good you want, but you’ll know that secretly it’s all corrupt.

Snowflake · August 3, 2018, 2:13pm

I don’t like the way your brain thinks.

Charlie_C · August 3, 2018, 2:41pm

I choose ‘Wallet of Cheesecake’

DungeonMaster · August 3, 2018, 4:25pm

You can only choose wallet of cheesecake if you admit that it is actually a pie.

Snowflake · August 3, 2018, 4:35pm

And acknowledge the burden on your soul from origins of all that cream cheese via trafficked cows.
