Rather be super rich than poor. Would give half to the church, first off. Then would do a mix of investing and starting my own business, figure I use my money constructively and put some Americans to work. I would see to it that the company expands, and make it top priority to maximize production and open up new departments.
On the other hand, if I were teleported to Jupiter, guess it would be time to meet my maker.
Though, being that I'm living a great life and wish to pursue a dream; I'd probably not take the chance
Hmmm... 5 billion, I would say yes because there are so many things I could do to make the world be a better place! I think its a risk worth taking when you can help millions of people.
Okay, I am gonna use random.org to see what happens to me (1 - 70 means I win, 71 - 100 means I loose):
Even so, if it's a chance to either be really rich or be the first person on/in/around Jupiter, then I'd go for it. May they name an asteroid in my honor, but it's gotta be one that's gonna smack into Jupiter like I did.
A lot of people are focusing on the question of what they'd do with the money. It's kinda interesting to see how many would turn down the offer because they would not feel they'd know what to do with all that wealth. Definitely makes one think a bit.
I would take this opportunity. The odds are enough in my favor that I'd feel comfortable with them. If I wind up being teleported to Jupiter and crushed or suffocated... well, then it would seem that a Higher Power had other plans in mind for me.
I either get to aid the scientific advancements in teleportation technology, from scientist monitoring me when I teleport or I get a substantial amount of money that can be used to fund teleportation research - either way, science wins :tongue.gif:
70% Chance of having 5 billion dollars, I'm set for life. Though, I'd probably give 3 billion or so away.
30% Chance of death. Death seems like a grand idea.
Hi i am wegie125 here reporting news about a man that looked like paper he was wandering the streets with his pet bingu when he got depants and everything went wrong he got angry and became angerypaper.
Do not wallow do not stall
Time waits for none at all
Your allowance may crawl,
It may fly or even vanish
But none will seem more lavished
Than time lost to all.
70% chance I don't have to work for the rest of my life. I'm actually somewhat lazy, so this would be awesome.
30% chance I die. Not a problem, as I don't believe anything would happen. I just cease to exist.
And teleportation to Jupiter would result in nearly instant death.

Now, now, children, your uncle DethPotato is here to tell you to be nice to each other regardless of each others' opinions. He is also coming here to tell you to either make a new thread regarding this topic, or get back on the main topic of this thread. Or, you could slightly change the topic of this thread so that your current discussion fits.
Everyone has seen the very numerous threads bashing the various features of 1.9, Notch, Mojang, etc. Can we turn down the hating? Just a little bit? Sure, everyone may not be pleased with enchanting, or potions, but really, is it at all realistic to expect that Notch will undo his work from the past several weeks and take these features out? One, that would infuriate far more players than it might pacify, and two, something like that is completely unprecedented in a game as popular as Minecraft. Complete feature removal? Forget about it. Nobody is forcing you to use enchantments and potions.
.
Adding an XP bar does NOT, I repeat NOT turn Minecraft into an RPG. An RPG, to quote the dictionary, is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting and take those characters through a structured narrative or structured decision making.
.
Fantasy elements are often found in RPGs, but the reverse is NOT true. Fantasy != RPG. XP bar + minor fantasy elements does not and WILL NEVER equal an RPG in Minecraft, since Minecraft is completely devoid of a plot whatsoever.
.
Finally, at the end of the day, you have to give Notch and Mojang some credit for what they have accomplished. Minecraft has over 3 million users. If Mojang was making bad gameplay decisions, why is Minecraft one of the most popular video games of all time? Because Mojang knows what they are doing. The success of Minecraft is testament to it.
.
tl;dr: If you cannot come up with a completely valid reason for claiming that 1.9 ruins Minecraft, please keep your mouth shut.
Teleported to Jupiter? Is this just a spectacular way for me to have a chance of dying?
Everyone needs to keep in mind that Jupiter is a gigantic stormy sphere of poisonous gas.
You won't be 'on' Jupiter.
You'll be flattened; after being electrocuted, poisoned, and suffocated.
You won't win if you get Jupiter. Even if you had an astronaut suit, you would die horribly.

You cant buy happiness, but you sure can buy friends!
In fact you would have alot of friends even without trying to get any...
They wouldn't really be friends.
At least i wouldn't call them so.
I am here for you, Don't be afraid to send me a message.
It might not, but it can buy ice cream. And I'm not ready to live in a world where theres a difference. :tongue.gif:

I'd just do it because I can really.
The rest would go in the bank, and the interest would pay for a modest lifestyle for me, and some charities would get regular donations.

Space...
...is a very nice place.
Wanna go to Earth.
Don't like space.
Wanna go to Earth.
Don't like space.
That's the reaction of a creature programmed to want nothing but to go to space.
Imagine what it's like for other people.
