Fundies first, then a toss up between the retard and the rabid Trekkies, and finally the "normal people." Normal being a highly subjective and relative term, of course.

Why should I care? I'm on the Death Star.

Of the four, I would pick planet A first.
A planet of 6 Billion normal people clearly can not exist, so those life signs must be false readings, maybe a bunch of Holographic projectors or something. Hence blowing up that planet would have the least death toll.
Seriously though D would be my first choice, B my second, C and then A.

I would refuse to select one.
That way Tarkin would destroy them all.
I was thinking of destroying A as a mercy killing (They are badly outnumbered and probably recieves spam mail from the other three planets), but why should I let the others live when I can choose not to...

I'm the Randomly Chosen One!
Incorrect, Tarkin will be sentencing them to death. If it comes to that I will choose the "retard" planet. The other three are all equal. They have the same potential. If I had to choose out of those three I would flip a coin.GrandAdmiralPrawn wrote:Remember, if you don't choose one, Tarkin blasts them all. Are you so moral that you won't pick a target, and will thus sentence an extra 18,000,000,000 beings to death?

I'd have to say DCBA, myself.
D first because, let's face it, religious fundies are some of the most dangerous people the world has ever seen. While they're capable of great charity, they're also capable of reaching into the depths of depravity with equal ease. They need to go in case they ever decide to go for option B over option A.
C and B are awfully similar, but Trekkies willingly subject themselves to stupidity, while retards really can't help it. Frankly, anyone who suggested 'B' first ought to hang their heads in shame.
A last, for obvious reasons. The planet of retards would essentially be a gigantic institution, and so would be a drain on resources, while planet A would serve some useful purpose...industry, agriculture, pornography, whatever.

I had the same answer as you, for slightly different reasons: Its not you that is letting the others live.McNum wrote:I would refuse to select one.

Tarkin is the one with the power, its his choice who to kill, he can't really dump the responsability on you as you don't control his actions. You could pick one, and he might destroy all put that one, he might destroy none at all, he might get a "high" from the power trip and start blasting all sorts of planets. I would make these points clear to him, that's about it.
Do the planets have interstellar travel? If an entire planet is full of fundies, and they can't leave, does it really matter? Its not as if they'd be shoving their beliefs on anyone. They'd essentially just be a planet of stupid people with a different culture.
Howedar is no longer here. Need to talk to him? Talk to Pick.

If these planets come into contact we can't have planet C corrupting them.

B-No hope for retards not needed. *Darwinist viewpoint
C-No hope of turning atheist or any reasonable religion or lesser form of faith.
D- At least when you pound it in hard enough they will finally accept sooner or later. *not Dark Star
A- You bloody BASTARDS THAT US!!!

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
D, B, C, A. in order of preference.
However I'd like to have about 20 minutes of "Global Air" spoken time to the planet D before I destroy them to say why I'm going to destroy them and give them the opportunity to surrender... then blow them up anyway.
For B, There's no point talking
For C, I'd rescue a single very hot catholic fundementalist blonde irish girl if she was present on the planet along with her family- extended family that is, cousins included, and then destroy the planet. Family would be put into freeranging custody, said hot blonde irish girl would become my personal assistant (why oh why do girls have so much sway over men! but they do!)
for A... Tarkin is now going too far, and if he forced me to take them out, I'd do it as quickly and humanely as possible. Out of orbit with main weapon charged, 5 seconds in orbit around the planet, and fire. no notice, just one moment lots of nice people alive. the next, gone.

ok, new tactic. The girl just dumped me after we were going out for 3 months.
Get exact position of Girl and her new Boyfriend, and fire deathstar beam right through the damned place at full power. I don't care any more. Destroy!
