Oh hello, how can I. . . Hey! You and I look a lot alike. Nice sweater, I have one exactly like that at. . . home. . .  [June 2010]  Doppelganger Survival 101 is out of session, and be ready for Town Cult Survival 101 will start soon.Doppelgangers, a term used for someone who holds the same resemblance as someone else, both usually without knowledge of the others' existence. Every once in a while, someone finds a double, a twin, who could literally be mistaken for them. This might pose a problem as having a stranger who shares your face might not be the safest thing in the world. Who knows what this person could do to you? A haunting presence with ill will could foil your attempts to die peacefully in your sleep at 95, friends and family in tact! Well, lets say you meet this person, and we're talking survival here, so we'll say he's a malicious b*****d who wants your life! How do you evade this person? Call the police? What would you say? PANIC! or DON'T! Would it result in death? Show me. Tactics -- *Give yourself a nice cut somewhere easily visible, like the face. Preferably you wil need stitches for it. *If the doppleganger is radical enough to give himself one to match, use a falsey until he gives himself one to match the falsey. Then remove the falsey (make sure your family knows it's a falsey). *Ideally though, you should give the doppleganger a cut and keep your own face pretty. *You could try and come up with family habits that the doppelganger wouldn't know about. * im not sure if they would have the same scent as you but if they dont then im sure a beloved pet would know the difference * Befriend and forget the whole death thing. * Be the evil one. ^_^. * falsify distinguishing marks Tools -- *Anything you can bring yourself to scar yourself with (Knife, lit cigarette, razor.) * A convincing falsey scar. * a beloved pet * Sharpie/anything to make a distinguishing mark ~~~~
Lets talk Doppelganger Survival! OP Note: The idea is to have the following Survivals in the future on the ticket: Murderer Survival, which was accidentally erased; and Stalker Survival, on which I'm not sure how to expand. Any ideas for future topics are welcome! Evil Scientist Survival 13% [ 2 ] Swamp Monster Survival 6% [ 1 ] Town Cult Survival 80% [ 12 ]

Well in order to keep a distinction between you and the doppleganger, Scars. Give yourself a nice cut somewhere easily visible, like the face. Preferably you wil need stitches for it.
If the doppleganger is radical enough to give himself one to match, use a falsey until he gives himself one to match the falsey. Then remove the falsey (make sure your family knows it's a falsey).
Idealy though, you should give the doppleganger a cut and keep your own face pretty.
You could try and come up with family habits that the doppleganger wouldn't know about.
Tools,
Anything you can bring yourself to scar yourself with (Knife, lit cigarette, razor.)
A convincing falsey scar.
(And as for an idea for the next one, Columbine shooting survival?)

best way to beat a doppleganger is to not attract one. dont keep too many mirrors in your room
im not sure if they would have the same scent as you but if they dont then im sure a beloved pet would know the difference

Touch yourself (erotically ;3 ) in front of a mirror.
That should freak the sucker (doppleganger) out enough to make it go away, and not cause harm to yourself.

Umm, so you guys know, the mirror has nothing to do WITH a doppelganger. It's supposed to represent a woman who is looking at an image of herself, a metaphor.
Doppelgangers are people--SOMEtimes they're not real in the first place, but this is about a real life scenario where you meet your twin.
The animal instinct is very strong. I like that suggestion. People have different scents, and a doppelganger wouldn't share yours.

If I met my doppleganger I would be faced with a serious moral dilemma.

Can you imagine the possibilities? If you found your DG, the hijinks would be immaculate, perfect.

I'd switch lives with her, truly. Just to see if it's entertaining.

if they were hostile the first thing i would try would be to go to the police but if the system fails (as it sometimes does rolleyes ) i would use birthmarks or mabe get a tatoo (something small and conspicuous). some people have a lot of freckles and very spacific birthmarks so that would be hard to duplicate. a tatoo is a lot easyer to duplicate but if you get something really small and that's easy to keep covered i think it could work.
or you could come up with a special code that only you and your family know. something that the DG woulden't be able to figure out even if he/she were a stalker

I would just befriend my doppleganger. Besides, according to friends, I'm the evil one so I really don't have to do the worrying. It's my twin that should be worried.

Wasn't there some old thing, like a poem or something, maybe even a creepy pasta, that if you ever find your doppleganger, one of you has to die? I seem to remember something like that.

It's said that no one could really survive in this case. People are too defensive to just keep the peace. Fear drives people to change what's what they consider wrong.
Could you live with your ultimate twin, Lucie? What if she's a secret and meets those guys at work who're showing interest? If she was not a secret, who's to say she won't grow into your life?? twisted
[edit: Wow! Overwhelming support to Town Cult Survival!]

When you meet your doppelganger, yes, one of you is supposed to die. Typically the non-doppelganger.
In several stories, people were attacked and replaced by their doppelgangers, forcing them into a reversed world, where left is right, good is bad, etc., etc.
However, doppelgangers usually had a few key differences, becuase the world they lived in was reversed, such as:
Being left-handed as oppsed to right-handed.
Having green eyes instead of blue, grey, hazel, brown.
Having brown eyes insted of green.
The personality was different as well. If someone was a psychotic serial killer here, there they'd be an upstanding citizen, head of the neighborhood watch, a soccer mom, and vice versa.
I think your best bet would be to run. Go somwhere where they wouldn't expect you to go. If you meet your doppelganger, that'd be a good time to go on that extended world tour, dearies.
Tools :: Passport. Car.
However, you COULD also disguise yourself as your doppelganger. Get colored contacts, and learn to use your opposite hand. Also, if you wear glasses, chances are the doppelganger DOESN'T, so I'd reccomend LASIK.
Tools :: Colored contacts, patience (to change your dominant hand) money (for LASIK, if you need it. Or for a pair of glasses with plain lenses, if your vision is perfect.)

The mirror is kind of deceptive, although I've read loads of stories about mirror dopplegangers, and watched tv shows about it. It also reminds me of the AYAOTD episode with the lizards.
On the subject, I apparently have many dopplegangers out there, because I've had strangers come up and ask me how I've been, only to find out I'm not who they think I am. Even when I had bleached blonde hair with red bangs, some woman thought I was her niece.
Maybe I'm the doppleganger....
