HOW TO PLAY

- During the entry period, post your completed form and tell me how you'd stop the apocalypse. This can be serious, humorous, completely outlandish, etc.
- Once the game ends, the thread will be locked.
- I (plus potentially other staff) will judge and choose the top entries, which will then be rolled from to determine choice order based off preferences listed.
- In the event that the winner's preferred pets are gone, I will reroll from the short list for the next winner.
- In the event that all entries on the short list do not include the pet(s) in question, a winner will be rolled from the entries that have the pet(s) listed as a preference.

THE LIST

Preferences: Death, War, Plague, Famine
How would you stop the apocalypse? First off, I'd make a sacrifice to the old gods. They're probably---and understandably---upset, and think they deserve a little sacrifice, as a treat. If I didn't have any fresh sacrificial critters on hand, I'd assume store bought is fine, but really, it's the thought that counts.
After the sacrifice, we'd go to eliminating those responsible. Going into detail on this part would likely get me put on a list (hi, FBI agents watching my internet!), so I'll just say this: capitalism is a disease that needs to be cut out, and I am happy to play slicey dicey doctor. Thrilled, even.
Then, in the event that neither of those things work, we move on to accepting the apocalypse and living our best dystopian nightmare dreams. I, for one, look great in survival wear and dirt. Welcome, our new eldritch overlords!

I have won a pony in another game. So I shall withdraw from this one. Good luck to everyone else.

How would you stop the apocalypse? I would sit back and watch them for a bit before telling them that play time was over. They'd had their fun and it was time to go home. While they'd likely never listen, but stern talking to never hurts anyone, yes?

How would you stop the apocalypse?
Seeing the approaching end the world I'd let out a sigh. Was it truly time. There was no choice. I'd take out my phone, dial the secret number and wait. The line would be picked up. "General. We are out of options. For the survival of mankind, it's time for operation Purpura king." I'd hang up.

Deep in an unground bunker the old general would let out a deep sigh as the line went dead. He'd slowly hang up the phone with his blank stare looking into the many monitors that showed the state of the world.

A nervous operator would speak loud enough to get the silent man's attention. "General?"

Another long pause before the general would speak with a determined tone. "Execute operation Purpura King"

The command room fell silent. The operator swallowed hard. "S-Sir...You can't mean...There must be another way. We can't-"

"I know what I said son. Execute operation Purpura King." The general moved to a large glass button and flipped the case open and waited.

The operator would look to another one. The second one would nervously nod his head. They'd both get up, move to each side of the General and put in their keys. The both waited before turning the keys at the same time to unlock the button. The first operator would speak softly. "Sir, there is still time. We can find something else...We'll never contain it again if we release it..." His voice was full of fear.

"May God have mercy on our souls." With that, he'd push the button.

Before the path of the riders of the Apocalypse sirens would blaze and red lights would light flash their warnings. Smoke would billow up as a giant metal silo gate slowly opened. A single cage would rise out of the smoke. A single being seen only by shadows could be made out in the darkness and smoke. As the riders road closer the cage door would swing open. The sirens would stop, the lights would turn off. Slowly the trapped being would take it's steps out into the world, before the riders.

It was...

It was....

"HI KIDS! I LOVE YOU! GIVE ME A HUG!"

The complete terror of purple and green dinosaur, Barney, had been released. The terror started to sing.

"I LOVE YOU, YOU LOVE ME, WE'RE A GREAT BIG FAMILYYYYY"

The chaos of the world above could be heard from the bunker below ground. The screaming of fear, the sing. The hugs.

The operators mouth would be dry as he spoke. "Are they retreating? Did we stop it?"

The General would finally look away from the data on the screens. "We did son."

"But at what cost?"

"That is the real question son."

TL;DR - I'd summon the only thing scarier then the apocalypse....Barney the purple dinosaur.

Well alright. Guess we're just down to rolling to determine choice order as we have so few entries left. This is the entire list and those that have won have been removed.
