20 years or suicide?
Which option would you choose?

*Nod haha I'm not even 20 yet... More than 1/2 my life spent in a room where my every need is provided for. I would definitely be socially retarded even if I managed to last the 20 years.

I think that most of the people here are greatly underestimating the need for human interaction in fostering mental stability. There's a difference between becoming a gibbering schizophrenic mess and being mentally ill. Not to mention how insanely socially retarded and out of touch you'd become. Imagine going from the prime of your life to being 40 and suddenly unleashed in society you haven't been in for two decades.I'm already socially retarded and out of touch...
As am I.
There's a difference between "I'm fine not being 'cool'" and "Jesus Christ what the fuck is happening right now?" 20 years isn't absurdly long but it's long enough that you would have to try hard to get back to even the point of being on the fringe but in the know or you'd literally just have to never really interact with people again.
That's true, I guess. It would be the whole Rip Van Winkle scenario. 20 years is long enough time that you would be completely displaced. Several of your friends and family members would probably be dead, and even if you didn't have any of those, the general world around you would change. I mean, that's my entire lifetime.
Imagine how much technology would change. Compare today to twenty years ago. There could be an even greater difference twenty years from now.
Suddenly stepping into a world that's advanced so much would be staggering.

Indeed. And I think that would be one of my biggest problems reentering society.

hey maybe that room is much advanced than the outside world since it provides anything you wish for

Door A, not for morals but because I could ask for hardcore exercise equipment and go into extreme conditioning for 20 years and come out a monster. Also, the videogames and clones of females helps too.

20 years? Dude, get me a Minori-clone and a copy of Diablo III, and it'll be a piece of cake.
I might even volunteer.

Earlier, the conditions were made that you can't get anything not in existence when you went in the room, including things under development. Diablo III was specifically mentioned, in fact.

I'd choose option 3.
Room A I don't think I could live in. The clone would be great, but I get really anxious just from spending 3 days inside with no interaction.
Room B I couldn't choose because the idea of shooting myself is very unpleasant.
But...I wouldn't mind putting up a struggle and someone shooting me. As long as it's a killing shot. Yeah, it might sound weird, but I know with Room B I could never do it. Unless they threatened me with torture if I didn't, then I'd might do it...

Slowly skin you alive and harvest your organs for the above mentioned clones since you no longer have any use for their experiment :)

I think I'd chose room A and prehaps spend the next 20 years devolping and AI, even if i wasn't succesfull my mental state, would probaly convince me i had made a real one and that should be able to distract me for some time. If i couldn't do that i'd probaly studie budism and such as they seem to be fairly succesfull in the arts of surviving isolation.
But Option B truly is a close second, but i'd chose A because theres a little hope.

So none of us really know how we'd cope with 20 years of social isolation.
The Huge Plethora of Manga, Literature and potential knowledge from the clone could mean you stay sane. But i don't think anyone has tried it so bleh.
I choose option 3 because.
1 20 years and then I'm fucked. possibly fucking insane as well
2 possibly insatntaneous fucking, or something else wooooaaaaaoooo scary...
3 Something else, possibly death, who knows at least theres a chance and as the point has been made death is prehaps preferable to 20 years of pychological torture.
This has been an eloquent post.

If one may keep the clone afterwards then I'd pick room A. If not, then I'd pick room B. Simply beacuse in room A I'd end up asking for a clone of Asuka Langley Sohryu + 4 years and if that happens if she went away I'd suffer immeasurably.

Are you kidding me? 20 years with any person's clone even fictional(!!)which you can change every month and do whatever you like, you can eat whatever you like whenever you want it, and you can have whatever you like?? If i didn't have any chance to escape appart from killing myself, i would love it!!(however if i had a chanse to escape i would take it,"life is shitty, but ain't fucking great?"slipknot-get this)

So... if I go to room "A"... I could screw a new anime character every month? for Twenty years? I can't even do that in real life. This isn't a hard choice really... I'm not sure I'd even want to leave after 20 years, I'd be old... so atleast if I stay I can get a foxy lady to hang with for another month.
