Due to a scientific or magical mishap, you end up with an identical copy of yourself. The clone looks/acts/thinks/feels exactly like you do. It has your memories and experiences too. It is not aware that it is a clone.
What happens when you two meet?

What happens when you two meet?
Several things.
1. We nad each other reflexively.
2. There's a lot of screaming.
3. We hit Congress Street
with a vengeance.
4. Enabler walks around smiling a lot.
I mean, it's not cheating on me if she has sex with my other me too, right?
We would make passionate love together and hold each other all night and cry tears of indescribable relief, knowing that now... now, we finally aren't forever alone. we would swear to be together for our whole lives and take an oath in blood and, before probably rapidly descending into some demented foile a deux. Then, it goes without saying that we'd likely be committed and subsequently placed in solitary confinement, due to the nature of our shared psychosis.
No joke, I've been thinking about this since I was like 12.
Step 1 would involve a battle of wits. This would be a game of chess, or perhaps smash brothers.
Step 2 would begin when the loser of step 1 physically assaults the winner.
Whoever loses the fight must submit to the winner in awful sexual ways.
Step 5 involves robbing a bank and one of us going to jail.
Nope. I think shes in the clear there. As for myself
change rogers number one to jam session congress st to newbury st and enabler to villager and thats what i would do. Then wed get down to the business off which one of us gets to keep the identity.

Highlander. And we take out half the town with us.

First, we have sex. I promised myself since i was 16 or so if I ever travelled back in time and meet myself, I'd have sex with me, and meeting myself as a clone would be pretty much the same thing.
I haven't really thought much further than this.
Rog- my list is similar to yours but with appropriate changes .
Except the kneeing in the nads part.

I wouldn't. I mean, we ARE one sexy bitch, but we're straight. No, it would just be Christmas every day for the wife.
I was going to pose the question - is having sex with your clone gay, or masturbation? But the more I think about it, I don't think it falls on that spectrum. I wouldn't fuck my clone because I'm attracted to him --- it's just about power.
Straight thing doesnt exactly apply here. It just becomes really weird masturbation.

Well yeah, I'm straight, but I would be having sex with me! How could I resist myself?
I don't quite get what you mean by the "power" angle, though?

Nah, plus you wouldn't be making babies.
Though maybe more clones? :lol:
I believe it would be selfcest, actually.
I think it would just be redundant. :lulz:

I'm in my family.
And outside of Kentucky, that's the definition.
We would groom our facial hair into different ridiculous styles and get into bare knuckle boxing matches in public over nonsensical insults.
We'd watch each other's backs until one of our paranoia got the better of us and we turned on each other. Then whichever of us survived would express his deep regrets at having to kill the other him on his deathbed.
Am I the only one who honestly wouldn't consider having sex with my clone?
Though, really, at least she'd know what WORKS... That'd be a nice change, but... No...
Well...
No, no... That would be wrong in all sorts of strange ways...
Hm...
I'd have to kill my clone, just on the off chance he is an evil doppleganger.
We would pointedly NOT have an argument/existential dilemma over who's the "real" one.
I would DEFINITELY immediately have sex with my clone. In fact, I always wanted to be a clone just so I could have sex with myself.
AND THEN,
AND THEN,
We'd pretty much do anything we wanted. With two of me? I would be invincible!

What's funny is that I posed this question at the gallery last night and all of my friends immediately said that they would have to kill their clone before their clone killed them. :cry: And then they were all, how would you know your clone wasn't plotting to kill you?
But duh, if my clone is exactly like me, with all my memories and no idea that she's a clone, then she would be thinking the SAME THING AS ME. So she'd be all "SWEET, two of me! Let's fuck!"

That's exactly what I'm thinking! Any plan I make now about what to do with a perfect physical and mental duplicate of myself will be the same plan my clone has. Why the gibbering fuckballs would I want to kill myself, when I can instead use this to my advantage and do half as much homework?

And that is EXACTLY why I would HAVE to kill my clone.
My clone would have to get her own account here, though. Otherwise it could get really confusing.
We could each work less, and take turns doing the shipping.

There'd be no need. We might have to flip a coin to decide who got to use the original Nigel account, though. Because, obviously, we would both be attached to the idea of being the original. It wouldn't kill me to make a new account, though, so I might volunteer.

I see, well, I trust myself, but maybe not
that much. Though maybe I could, because if I'd try to screw myself over I'd know exactly how shitty I'd make myself feel. But then, knowing my singular self, I don't always strictly act in my own best interest--which would probably become at least some source of conflict sooner or later, but maybe not by very much.
And Twid, if your clone can figure out your newly chosen password, then you probably need a better way of picking your passwords :) There's lots of external sources of non-determinacy you can use.
I'd kill it first, to stop it from taking over my life.
Because, as me and my clone both know, getting proper, fake ID is very hard, and throw in biometrics, and we're both in for shit. Only one can survive.
We would both be the mother of my children. How could I kill the mother of my children?
Over the head with a shovel and bury them under the patio, like everyone else.

But you'd have identical biometrics, which is unlikely but not impossible for two people to have, biometrics can only positively determine that two people are
not the same--and even then it's horribly inaccurate. Though with DNA and fingerprints you'd still be fucked in court, if you'd tried to screw yourself over :)
If you're certain you'd have to kill him, remember you're both equally strong and equally smart, so any edge would have to come from random circumstance factors, you might as well flip a coin and go for a painless suicide?
If you can rationally and honestly come to that conclusion, so would your clone.
Though if you secretly want to try and out-Xanathos-speed-chess them, all bets are off ;-) [but it'll probably hurt a lot, even if you win]
It would mean establishing any other identity would be impossible, because the DNA would link back to my ID, meaning mine would be the only viable one for my clone to have. Any other would present the risk of being detected as going under a false ID, and so being brought in for questioning.
And like I'd fight fair. You kill people when they're asleep, so they can't fight back. With a shovel. Or lock all the escape routes from the outside and torch the building (remember to knock over the tv and start it from there, so it looks like an accident).

NOTE TO FUTURE SCIENTISTS: WHEN CLONING CAIN, SET UP CAMERAS, ACQUIRE MOVIE RIGHTS
Most painless option: kill the scientist first.
Part of the awesome of having a clone would be that it would share my identity. It would hardly give me an edge if she had her own identity, would it? We'd just use the same ID. It would mean that we couldn't leave the country together, but I don't see that being a problem.
I guess it could be a little creepy for any prospective suitors, though.
Or, alternately, a HUGE BONUS!
Then, there's always the fact that you've pretty much ALWAYS got "reasonable doubt."

Legally, we would be the same entity, so I doubt it would matter in a court.
I'd fight him. No doubt about it. He'd fight me anyway.
I'd like to say, I'd do all of the above. Fuck, fight, murder.... on the other hand, there sheer shenanigans two of me could get up to.... it would be pretty epic....

I'd kill him for planning to kill me based on the assumption that I am planning to kill him.

One could always find a corrupt bureaucrat to create a birth certificate indicating identical twins. This would then give the clone the second identity necessary.

There would be two of you. Two vaginas, four tits, and you're the same person so it's all good. What's not to like about that?
Which would also be a drawback when the suitor is in the dog house. Because then there's two of you mad at him. But he wouldn't think about that until it was too late.
