Which game to play against aliens?

That being said --- I will play anyone (aliens included) in a game of "What number is elwood thinking of?" Simple rules --- and I have a slight advantage.

By the way, the answer is 4.7.

What if the aliens are telepathic mind readers? Still want to play that game?

Nick Bostrom's answer:

"One that takes as long a time to play as possible."

How about "First one to the edge of the universe wins"?

I'd only do that one if we knew it wouldn't backfire

Umm. This will ensure the annihilation of the human race.

No, it won't.

Engaging in a game that requires brainpower vs. a superior race will ensure our annihilation. Anyone that picked chess is stupid.

Come to think of it. I'm stupid for posting in this thread.

Ok, since we already determined that every game of tic tac toe can be tied and ties don't count as half wins, then the correct answer is The Price Is Right since that requires no brainpower.

Yes. If they read my mind, we tie.

Halo 2.

We don't tell them about network play, and they only do LAN parties. After the year comes, we play them on XBL, and mod the [censored] out of them.

3 ideal choices--

1. Hopscotch

2. Dodge Ball

3. Red Rover

We could always play "Knifey Spooney"
