Okay i just thought up a new game.
How about someone writes how someone on the forums should be injured and that person has to try and avoid it. Then that person gets to be freed and then gets to write how another person on the forums should be injured.

Have you seen the Kill the Kitten thread? Sounds exactly the same, except its not a real thing imaginarily getting hurt, so it won't lead to anyones feelings getting hurt

Please don't start a "kill the forum member" thread. It's not a bit of fun to write that XY should get stabbed in the back, hit by a train or whatever. I second TripleM.

Actually, I see a way this could work without hurting anyone's feelings at all.

Of course, that might be because I'm tied to a set of railroad tracks with a train coming at 150 miles an hour and only 6 seconds away! Oh, by the way, the train is on fire and full of angry ninjas. That sort of situation gives a new perspective on things.

Hm. But if there's a train coming from Chicago at 130 miles an hour and 4 seconds away, carrying ice and staffed with angry pirates, then calculate the time t such that...

That depends, are there any ninja to slow the pirates down?

See? See? An entire trainful of ninja, and golfrman doesn't even notice them. I told you they were sneaky!

Does anyone have a fire extinguisher, or will the train burn down?

If n is the total amount of ninjas, p is the amount of pirates, m is the speed of the train, and s is the amount of seconds before impact, then the current distance to the target can be calculated by:
d = sm/|(n-p)|

Ah, but you're not taking into account that since the decrease in number of pirates for the last thousand years or so is directly responsible for global warming, the presence of a concentrated mass of pirates on the oncoming train will chill the surrounding area significantly, which when combined with the effects of the ice will result in some very cold and slippery tracks indeed.

Also, the flaming hot ninju train will have major problems with sun kink.

We must rely on His Noodly Appendages to intercede on behalf of the pirates and turn the tide. If the person on the tracks is wearing a pirate outfit he might well get saved too.

No such luck, though I do have a parrot. Does this help?

Also, I'm concerned that even if I get off the tracks, the hot and cold running ninjae created when the trains collide could open a vortex to the Kingdom of Loathing, dragging me and the piraten with them. And I'm all out of meat. Except, I suppose, the parrot.

You've already got a Really Bigridiculously huge sword equipped despite the level requirements, and the muscle to wield it. Plus all the mysticality of otherworldliness. You'll decimate.

Are the ninja on the train properly fastened in? We know the pirates are manning the other train, but that doesn't mean they are passengers, so they are free to roam the train's cavities.

If the trains happen to crash, more ninjas would survive compared to pirates. Thus the ninjas will have the advanage in a inevitable fight to the death.

BTW: Who is traped on the tracks?

Well, none of your business, for one thing.

Heavier than a ninja, lighter than a pirate (one with a reasonable number of limbs left anyway), and thats all I'm saying.

Okay, I'll modify my formula a bit.
If r is the length of the rope and b is BR's mass in grams:
d = (sm(r!-b!)/|(n-p)|-sqrt(rb(n-p))/(smrbnp)^2-int(sin(rb+np))) mod b.

QED.
