Do I have anything to go on? Did I see his face? Has he already disappeared in the crowd? What kind of setting are we talking about, and what is my character's role and standing? What is the state of the town and the wider locality?

All of these things (and more) will determine what happens. Context maters.

Watch as the Firetrap spell I had cast on the trinkie previously goes off, incinerating him and all within 10 feet. I then accuse the nearest crone of being a witch and have her arrested, then cliam my ten gp reward from the local majistrate. Being a Witchfinder is great.
>>
>>96429532
I cast 'Polymorph Other' on the child, turning him into a Twinkie, put both twinkies into an easily reached pocket, then hang around waiting for more pickpockets. After I have amassed a big pile of 'Twinkies', I donate them as a meal to the nearest orphanage.

Pretty much, abd then said its a sign of a bad character that you don't just ignore it and let the kid go.
I'm playing a !not Witch Elf. She's a violent drug abusing psycho. The child is killed, not for the twinkie, but for daring to lay a hand on me.
>>
>>96430425
Honestly, only normal people and npcs would let it go entirely. In a role playing game most people would go after the kid instead of merely letting it go, at minimum to get their shit back, and they’d be right to do so. It’d only be weird if they weren’t explicitly playing a psycho and decided that was their Joker moment and began burning the town down.

Besides, anyone dumb enough to mug a crazy elf bitch with those level of bad vibes is arguably asking to get their shit kicked in to begin with.
>>
>>96430425
I don't remember anon saying that. I don't remember anon saying that there was one correct answer to that scenario in the first place, just that it was meant to weed out players who'd react with excessive violence to a minor inconvenience regardless of what their character's supposedly like.
>>
>>96430471
In an RPG people wouldn't just let it go, but I think a big part of it would be just thinking that if the GM felt like a minor bit of petty theft was worth spending game time on, there'd be more to it.

• I don't play games where Twinkies exist. Even if I did, my characters wouldn't keep them in their fucking pocket; that's retarded.
• I don't play games where children can be present where the characters are exploring and fighting. Even if I did, a stupid, inexperienced, clumsy child wouldn't be able to go unnoticed from the heightened senses of explorers used to detecting danger in the fucking wilderness. It would be retarded to play any game in which characters expected to survive against ferocious monsters couldn't see a dumb kid coming a mile away.

It was a test! I "graciously invite" him into my band of thieves. If he isn't interested I have him trafficked to a wealthy noble in the sand kingdom to protect the secret of my band of thieves.I then kill every pet in town not on a leash or collar.

Laugh at him, for now the curse twinkie has a new owner. He will wander the earth until someone begs for his twinkie or steals it to covet for themselves. Every time you eat it the twinkie appears out of thin air back in your pocket. There is no destroying it, the yellow sponge cake never spoils, only passing the curse on to its next carrier.

It's originally from Reddit. It's supposed to filter out 'problem players' while ignoring that the scenario involves taking resources from PCs without rolls (this was bad form even in the 70s), and that using a fake kid NPC to force annoying scenarios on players is so old it was a cliche when I was a newborn and pretty much guaranteed to generate an excessive response purely out of contrariness.

But I guess we can pretend 4chan came up with the idea if it makes you feel better.

It's just a hypothetical. You don't really need to roll for a hypothetical. Unless you don't feel comfortable answering hypotheticals and want to turn it into an actual game scenario. Or just really want to roll the dice. That's up to you and your table.

Works IRL too. If you're on a first date or have a new friend, pay attention to how they react to stuff like a waitress getting their order wrong.

My favorite trick for vetting guys is I mention a stray cat has been chasing birds away from my bird feeders. Without fail, psycho guys will take that as invitation to start talking about how much they hate cats and often suggest shooting, poisoning, etc.
>>
>>96431553
It's not a situation that happens in a game, though. It's GM asking "what would your character do if this happened?" If it makes you feel better, you can imagine any appropriate rolls being made and leading to the Twinkie thief succeeding - the point is to explain your character's reaction at the point where the theft has already happened.
>>
>>96431726
>My favorite trick for vetting guys is I mention a stray cat has been chasing birds away from my bird feeders.
Wouldn't the more sensible answer just be 'Anywhere you could move the birdfeeder to?' or 'Put out food for the cats somewhere else to distract them?'

For the record, cats can be cruel, they do enjoy toying with their prey. Doesn't mean they deserve to be destroyed or anything.

It really is a wonderful deadspot to exploit. Since twinkie anon posted it I have used it, and it worked for its purposes. In my case it was stealing a pipe from a wizard, the guy I was considering had historically been a bad player but was putting out feelers to maybe change. His reaction indicated otherwise.

That's not what happened. Murderhobo behavior was the expected thing seeking to be filtered or checked for, but many anons, probably (You) included, got irrationally upset with the idea of a conditional hypothetical and proceeded to argue the most pedantic, pseudo-intellectual bullshit. And in one recent case, some faggot tried to argue that what he was really doing the whole time was trying to have a discussion about how the twinkie test should be improved and trying to seek ways to improve the specific details about the test, as if the issue was that the test wasn't exhaustively detailed enough to be valid, and not that responding to "minor inconvenience wat do?" with obnoxious faggotry wasn't a direct display of low IQ, emotionally stunted THAT GUY behavior.

Apologies for the impending wall of text, but to give you an idea I'm the kind of GM who shitbrews The Ruby Weapon, slaps it in the middle of a campaign, and translates its mechanics 1to1 so players are forced to either cheese it or run from the fucking thing.
And *I* think this test is complete bullshit. A person's character is sanctimoniously theirs. If you're gonna make up absolutely anything about them you absolutely discuss that shit OOC beforehand. Yes, even a twinkie. Because not only is it complete garbage roleplay, it also only opens the avenue for even worse roleplay as >>96432395 points out.

There's actually a super elegant way to do this exact same test by just having the kid approach the party and engage thwm in conversation (ROLEPLAY) begging for coins or food until players give in or find a way to get rid of him. If players ignore him, he just keeps following. You can even play it humorously too if they keep ignoring him. They leave town? He keeps following begging for coins. They start fighting some brigands? He's asking the players AND the brigands for coins. The players sneak into a dungeon? He's still loudly begging, alerting monsters to the party's presence.

The only wrong answer is to argue with the test. Stealing it back. Hunting down the kid. Reporting it to the nearest guard. Slaughtering every child and cutting open their stomach to find the remains of your twinkie. Capturing the child, castrating him, and selling his eunuch ass to the local lord. All valid answers.

The fact that you think this is about rules and scenarios and fairness shows that you aren't fit to sit at the table. It's a fucking hypothetical question and you're trying to nitpick the nonexistent details so you don't lose an imaginary item. You're not a good player. You're not a good GM. You're a pedant and a midwit.

>>96432798
Anon, it's just a fucking hypothetical. The specific details don't matter, you're welcome to headcanon how things came to be any way you want, but the only purpose of the question is to test your ability to come up with an in-character answer to the hypothetical. Something you will be doing over and over and over again in play.

It's the same reason job interviews will toss out random questions like "what're your hobbies?" or "what's your favorite drink?" or "what's an awkward situation you've had to deal with on your last job". The actual answer doesn't fucking matter, just your ability to adjust, be flexible, and keep holding a conversational.

All you want to fucking do is flex your midwit brain and be an insufferable smart-ass too good to answer a basic bitch hypothetical. That makes you undesirable at any table that's not for a simulationist wargame.
>>
>>96432798
I have to say that even if the test is barely a test at all, you seem more hung up on trying to "solve" the specifics of the test rather than addressing the intent to begin with. This isn't really a test you "solve" so much as showing you have a pulse and functioning brain.

So, time to invert the test.

Engaging with the fiction and asking questions. The scene is set, the twinkie is gone. That's not changing. I want the players to be curious about the game.
>Can I still see the kid?
>Did anyone nearby see him?
>I was thinking about playing [character concept that values some thing] so I would act on that value and...

What matters is if they are willing and interested to play along. If they just want to argue about pointless details and go on the offensive to try and win a casual conversation between neutral or even friendly individuals over a game that isn't even being played yet, I don't want to waste my time with them. It's hard enough getting a game going and keeping players invested. If I've got to deal with one faggot at the table who wants to litigate every single little detail, the game will die very quickly and no one will have any fun.
>>
>>96432995
>You asked why people hate this hypothetica
No one asked this. Yet again, you are making up details to try and win something that can't be won by arguing and trying to remake the whole discussion into something that puts you in the morally/intellectually superior position, because you refuse to accept that you have proven yourself to be wholly and clinically retarded.
>>
>>96432849
Oops - I stand corrected!
>>96432846
So, the player which fails the test is the one who interrupts the flow of the game by being a petty turd - like a 'rules-lawyer'? Gotcha
>>
>>96432945
Anything works long as it doesn't contradict what the PC has been established to stand for without sufficient justification. If they start asking how tf did they miss it I'll give them the classic "Dunno. Weird, ain't it?".

If it's a system with random encounters then I probably don't have a plan for the kid but will roll with whatever conspiracy the players will gas themselves into believing. If it's a system without random encounters then I probably have the kid tied to some quest hook or prominent NPC and how that works will depend on player choice.
>>
>>96433038
More or less. Trying to rules lawyer a hypothetical displays a lot of stupidity. Like if you asked someone the breakfast question and they go
>but my mom always makes me breakfast
>what did you do to my mom?
>why doesn't your question include that my mom exists and she makes me breakfast?
>it's a stupid question because I already ate breakfast and you can't just say I didn't because that's a lie
>>
>>96432945
I could share you some I've accepted before with this test.

>"I yell as loud as I can at the thief to stop"
>"I decide I've got bigger fish to fry than some pickpocket, but I let the local guards know there's a sweets thief in the area anyways"
>"I immediately start chasing the thief down to retrieve my twinkie"
>"I grab at the hooligan by the wrist and start swinging with my free fist"
>"I wait until the crowd thins and start stalking the thief right back so nobody thinks they can steal from me and get away with it without consequences"
>"I shrug and continue on my way, hoping the thief likes the booby-trapped twinkie he just stole"
>"I memorize the kid's face, then round up my posse so we can begin teaching this thief a lesson"
>"I gasp for a second, check my person, feel glad he didn't steal my wallet too, then just go buy another one"

There's a lot of ways to answer it. I've seen some use magic to curse the thief, some use magic to just take back the twinkie, I've even seen one just pretend to ignore that they've been stolen from, only to immediately turn around and pickpocket the thief's wallet since they're fixated on absconding with that twinkie. It's really easy to answer and takes less than a couple minutes at most.
>>
>>96432871
But it's not a scenario that happens at the table. It's just the GM asking about your character's reaction if someone stole a Twinkie from him. How is this difficult to understand?

I'd say there's a few ways to fail it.
>Insist on arguing the details as a gotcha - Going to Rules lawyer during the game and make it a slog for everyone, fuck off
>Going full 'I want him dead, I want his family dead, I want his pets dead, I want his letterbox shit through' - Completely disproportionate response, likely to declare Jihad on an NPC and disrupt the game over petty shit at some point. Maybe let play as a dwarf with a book of grudges but otherwise no-go
>Immediately going to mechanics and refusing to engage with it at all, not even engaging the hypothetical - Thinks a character is a sack of numbers being piloted about by him rather than an actual human being that exists in a setting, will inevitably do shit like 'My character is so optimized that no one else can even keep up, I won the game, we might as well knock off now while I jack off at the table since that's all the rest of the game is going to be and anything that gets in the way off that will make me huff, puff and snuff over it.'
It's an open ended question and there's many ways to reveal yourself as a bit of a shit in answering it.

This is what sends me reeling every fucking time this topic comes up: The question itself is exceedingly easy to answer and there's so few bad answers given in good faith that would genuinely make me want to outright deny someone a seat at my game. Even hyperbolic answers like, "I kill the thief" can be followed up with "come on now, be a little more serious." And then you can probe the player a little more and get a feel for their general tone and sense of humor.

...And yet, every time it's brought up, the question goes from a simple mood and investment gauge, to being an eye-opening psychological profiling session for people who are fundamentally lacking some key component of rational thought, and proceed to become increasingly irate, even as you tell them over and over that the exact details and purpose of the stupid fucking twinkie question, and they ignore you so they can proceed to rage incoherently about how the test is extremely flawed and wrong and stupid and how anyone who even defends the question is a heinous subhuman.

All of that over a fucking hypothetical twinkie.

'I guess I kill him' with a shrug makes it clear you're playing a character from outside the genre/style the DM & party is aiming for, but it can be talked over.
And no matter how grimdark blackcore edgenails your setting is, your 15 minute rant on how the child is going to be dissolved in rape-acid isn't going to reassure me that you're going to be able to take it on the chin when you get a bad roll and your character is lost to the dickwolves.

My only real guess is that there are people who are hyperparanoid that this is more than just the equivalent of "What Would Jesus Do?", and looking for ways to "outwit" such a sparsely detailed hypothetical so they can win on their terms. And it's weird. Really, even the "I kill the thief" answers are fine if it's explicitly a game where everyone is playing criminals and bad people. It's the guys who immediately accuse you of railroading because you didn't roll dice for this that you want to be wary of.*

Oh don't get me wrong, I'd be the first to throw some popcorn in the microwave and watch the meltie.
But a single meltie is entertaining.
One every week, on the week, at my table where I'm trying to run a game is tiresome.

There's no universally wrong answer, but there are wrong answers for me. Same as
>'Aschually I let the child go since clearly they're underprivilieged and resorting to crime to feed their family. Besides, reporting BIPOC people to the guards is genocide'
>"...but I never said the kid was bl-"
>'Please, he's stealing, of course he's black.'

That just sounds like it's functioning well, if it reveals that you and the GM have very different views on the game's tone and the sort of punishment that can be expected for petty theft.

>>96433463
Really, even if it is a stupid test, the kind of pedant that will attempt to it break it down molecule by molecule to monologue about why the act of ever posting a question to them that doesn't involve a roll of the dice is an attack on their character and freedom of thought instead of just being sane and going "This sounds stupid, give me a scenario closer to what I should expect from the game" are definitely not worth dealing with on a weekly basis.

Twinkies don't exist in this timeline so this kid has broken causality and we all cease to exist.

Paranoid psychopathy and general mental illness might explain some of it. Feeling like they are being tricked or abused making them react with extreme hostility because they're having some kind of paranoid fight or flight response to the idea that there's some sneaky, abusive, deceitful manipulation at work.

However, I think that only covers some of them, since some people are clearly displaying a complete lack of understanding of conditional hypotheticals in general, or even how their responses can be used by others to form judgements about their personality and beliefs. That kinda "dindu nuffin" outrage typically comes from left-of-the-curve low IQs

They work best when you've got a table doing consistent bookkeeping for their resources. If time and money and food aren't being tracked, losing a sword to a swordgobbling ooze is inconsequential. If they only have enough coin and rations on hand to make the trip back and restock after looting the dungeon, that makes the player consider his other options or makes him think twice about running back to that room with the rusted, half-broken sword they saw earlier.

Wow the GM makes everyone's character sheets too? What doesnt this guy have to do?

He determines what options are available for them, and could just make them too. Never played at a convention with pre-made sheets have you, nogames?

Best part of this entire discussion is you retards can seethe about how it's totes a test for DMs instead, how you didn't fail, everyone else did, you am big boy in the biggest boy pants, rah-rah-rah.
But it still won't get you in the fucking door and every argument you make just reinforces the fundamental point of 'Great, you're not a good fit, see you.'

Isn't the right to association such a wonderful one?
>>
>>96433981
Where is the spirit of the rules?
How do you know that you're correct about what the spirit of the rules is?
If the designers didn't intend what they wrote in the rule book, why didn't they write what they actually did intend instead?
Why should I have to fix a product I paid for?
>>
>>96434151
You're free to be retarded and lie, sure. But this is exactly why I don't have ruleslawyers and backseat drivers at my tables.
>>
>>96434022
No, anyone does, by reading the rules. That's why they're written down, to provide a common frame of reference for all participants.
>>
>>96434163
Right to discriminate*
And no not really.
>>
>>96434118
Nope, your attitude is entitled and backwards.
>>
>>96434197
>No, anyone does
Incorrect, only the GM does.
>by reading the rules.
The rules give the GM total arbitration over them and what happens in the game. You, as a player, do not have the role of telling others what they can or cannot do.
>>
>>96434181
This argument is kinda shit cus tabletop designers flat out say multiple times "if the rules dont work for your group, bend em". Granted that's just to keep as many paying customers as possible but still.
>>
>>96434202
The ability to discriminate can be its own virtue.
Don't believe me? Fuck off into the woods for an afternoon and eat every single mushroom you come across.
After all, there's no difference between any of them right :^)

Writers only get so many revisions before they have to publish. They can't think of or fit every minute detail in the limited timeframe either.

Happens with literally every product in every medium.

I didn't ask why they don't think of infinite details. I asked why they didn't write what they intend. A person can't fail to know what their own intentions are.

Doesn't happen with every product. I have never had to fix the rule system I use.

Same, that's why we made a filter to keep bad players out.
>>
>>96434592
Sane people do. But seems enough anons get upset at the thought of anyone so much as threatening their sweet treat that they enter an uncontrollable psychosis over it.

>>96431697
The scenario you're outlining would involve the GM rolling. If he's not rolling, that's important context which changes my response.

My PC actually likes kids, so he'll be a little upset at first, but then he'll think the kid needs the twinkie and be happy for him.

>>96434641
Let's say then he isn't rolling. What does your response change to?

>>96434641
If you have to add additional conditions to the hypothetical before you can even answer it, you've already filtered yourself out.

I say that my character notices, and takes it back from him.

A kid stole it I'm actually pretty upset
>>
>>96434789
If you do play it, just remember when it came out and try to be conscious of what games were like before it existed. For it's time, it was incredible. Compared to games now, it will be less impressive in a lot of ways, and maybe more impressive in others.
>>
>>96434789
The graphics suck
The combat is at it's best when you're outright cheesing it
You can completely fuck up the main questline to be uncompletable very easily
The magic system is completely broken
And there are numerous glitches and exploits that are extremely easy to stumble upon

Hands down the absolute best portrayal of a mortal peasant's ascension to godhood in all of human history, both inspite of and because of its flaws.

You say that, but I suggest you check your pocket. Despite all you've attempted, the Twinkie remains stolen. You check the local stores and find that all the twinkies are gone. Not that it matters, because your wallet is now empty. The GM has gotten the last laugh.

Depends on how (You) would feel, isn't it? I habitually skip breakfasts. In fact I didn't eat breakfast yesterday anyway. And today.
