In my previous giveaways, I asked all of you to share random bits of information with me instead of simply saying thanks: a favorite quote, the game you were most looking forward to playing, a joke. Most people were kind enough to indulge me, but a few people still just spammed "thanks" on all of my giveaways simultaneously. I suspect the robots are trying to learn about mankind by playing our games, and you can help me stop them!
So here's the deal: prove to me you're a real person by telling me what superpower you would most like to have and why, and I'll add you to my whitelist. If you post anything overly generic or otherwise bot-like, I'll add you to my blacklist. Do nothing but enter the giveaway, and I won't add you to either list, and you can still enter most of my future giveaways, but you might not get an opportunity to get win every giveaway I might offer in the future...
Curious to see if you're already on my whitelist? Check here: my second whitelist giveaway!
Let the games (giveaway) begin!

It took me a while to figure out you were talking about hero super powers and not superpowers as in geopolitical. My mind was thinking strategical war and that's where I went. :)
I would choose telekinesis. I'll be honest, I wouldn't be using it responsibly either. It would be for when people try to cut in front of other people or do something rude. To prevent people from merging at the very last second instead of merging earlier like everyone else. To keep someone from constantly changing lanes just to get one car ahead. To force someone to put their phone down while driving (especially erratically). I'm sure you starting to sense a theme here. :)

IRL undo-button. Just said something stupid? UNDO! Locked your door with the keys still in the car? UNDO! Spilled a whole glass of water on your computer while typing about your preferred super power? UND... -snap/hiss/crackle-

This. I was going to say one of the generic flight/x-ray vision/invisibility ones but this....this is genius. It also makes one feel like Max from Life Is Strange, to a point.

I want the ultimate superpower which we enjoy in most computer games and may be the reason why we like them so much.
I want the save/load feature.... a simple version will have a single quicksave/load slot, a more powerful one might have 5 to 20 game slots... and unlimited slots with hex editor would be... op. (Though life might get boring with that level of power)

I want the ability to magically fill stuff. for example; fill my glass with water, fill my bowl with popcorn without getting up. fill the bladder of someone I hate. (and fill it so much that it bursts and they die). fill my bank account with money... etc, etc.

Why time travel? And didn't you say giving health to people in the other giveaway?

I gave another superpower because i chose to enter a second giveaway. I thought i had to give one different for each giveaway....

No worries. I just wanted to let you know that I saw your other comment, as well. Some people gave different powers on different giveaways, and some people loved one power enough to list it on all the giveaways of mine that they entered. I never have a requirement for entering public giveaways like this one, but answering the question I give in the description (share a superpower you would like to have and the reason why, like you did here) will get you added to my whitelist. And whenever I create a set of public giveaways, I typically also create a whitelist giveaway of my "best" (or at least, my favorite of the group) game for those that participate.
Thanks for participating, and I hope the random number generator favors you in the near future!

Because with time travel you can see the roman empire or the middle age knights...or explore the future of course. Who is not curious about that ?
Comment has been collapsed.
I think that I would be too worried about accidentally changing something in the past and triggering a massive butterfly effect that ends up changing the world I come from, but I can definitely appreciate a longing to explore the unknown. Maybe if I were able to observe the past and future without changing it, I would love to have the ability to explore distant times that we would never be able to see otherwise. But if I could observe and change the times to which I traveled, I would probably just use time travel to change things in my own life. Though perhaps it is better that I can't; the many mistakes I have made in the past all contribute to the person I am today. Who knows what kind of person I might be if everything in my life always turned out perfectly...
Thanks for answering!

For me time travel should only be useful to see how past or history was. I don t want to mess up with it like in the movies.....

I think a good # of ppl use macros: "ty","much appreciated" etc. because THEY DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH. "доказать мне, что ты реальный человек, сказав мне, что сверхдержава Вам хотелось бы иметь и почему," Ответ: Я бы выбрал США, потому что они имеют превосходные танки. :)
Superpower... like a comic hero according to MidwestDrifter... well aside from immortality... ah... how about speaking, reading, understanding, and thinking in all languages as if each were my native language.
Thanks for the thought.

"prove to me that you are a real person , telling me that a superpower would you like to be and why ,"
"The answer is : I would choose the United States , because they have excellent tanks"
Made me laugh. You got it the second time around, though. The question was intended to be, what superpower would you like to HAVE, like a comic book superhero, not which world superpower you would like to BE, like a nation or powerful corporation.
Thanks for the insight into why so many people might be using macros and scripts to enter giveaways. I'm not trying to exclude anyone who doesn't speak English; I just think that using macros, scripts, and bots to enter giveaways automatically gives some people an unfair advantage, and I had hoped to even the playing field for those people who took the time to read my description.
Out of curiousity, do YOU read and speak English, or did you use a translator program to figure out what I was saying?

P.S.
I've given away 7 titles (not much I'm new) and Russian people are, far and away, the coldest and least speaking of ppl to me. Maybe it's U.S. government and Russian government policies affecting the ways of the people? I don't know yet.

I'm jealous of people that are fluent in multiple languages, since I really only know English. I studied Spanish in high school and Latin in college, but I am far from fluent in either language. And as an adult, learning new languages is a lot harder than it would be for a child. So while you might wish for the superpower of knowing other languages just as well as your own native language, the fact that you are fluent in multiple language IS almost a kind of superpower to me.
Like I said before, I only want to exclude people who are using scripts, macros, or bots to enter giveaways without interacting directly with the site, but I don't know of a better way of doing that yet. I feel bad about blacklisting people just because they don't understand what I've written, but I would hope that someone interacting with an English-language site would use a browser plugin to translate what was on the screen into their native language, rather than just posting "thanks" because they think it's expected.
Thanks again for replying, and good luck!
(To answer your parenthetical question: while the phrase might look awkward, "If we can do it and do do it, why can't you?" is perfectly acceptable to me, a native English speaker and occasional grammar stickler. I might have added a comma between the two thoughts in the first part of the phrase, as in, "If we can do it, and do do it, why can't you?" But I think that's simply a style choice, and I don't think I can actually say that it is any more correct or understandable than the way you wrote it already.)

I posted it on the other giveaway, but I thought I'd post it here as well :) I want WINGS! Not just the power of flight like Superman, but real, honest to God wings that I could flap to fly, or just hold open to glide, and look freakin' majestic as F*** with my giant angel wings.

Thanks for the joke,but the question this week is, "What superpower you would most like to have, and why?"

And, as a former grade school teacher, correcting papers can be a super power. Especially if you mark the paper with enough red.

I am a woman. I have mood swings. I consider that my super power. Like Hulk's. Any questions? 8-/

No questions here. I don't want to make you angry. I don't think I would like you when you're angry...

Superspeed (like Flash) would be great. You know: be faster than a bullet, run over water and even through time. This must be fun.
