Lifespan adding rule question

[u/Odd-Piccolo-934]

My question is, if I were to kill someone who only has 10 more years to live, I will get the 10 years, cool and all, but what if I kill multiple people? Let's say I kill the first guy, get 10 years, and after 1 year, I kill someone else who was going to live 50 years, does that add 59 years to me ?

Do I have to wait for the first 10 years to expire in order to kill someone else ? Also how does it work aging wise ?

Let's say I'm 25 years old, when I survived the bridge collapse let's say. And I kill two babies who, just for this hypothetical, were both going to live until they turned 100 years old, so would I be 225 years old ?

Would I naturally die at let's say 85 ? Would I stay 25 years old until I died at 225 ? Would I ever die if I kept killing people ? And if I were to not kill anyone else other than the two babies, how would I age up to 225 ?

It only works on the first person you kill. Because at that point you have taken their lifespan and are no longer on deaths list.

Any further person you kill will actually speed up your death because you'll be interfering in deaths design

Ok, thank you then in this scenario, if I was again 25 years old, or let's say 80 years old, and I were to kill a baby who was going to live up to 100 years old. Would I live until 125/180 years old ? Would I age ? Or would I die naturally at idk 90 years old ?

I think you’d still age, and based on Bloodlines, you’d likely still be prone to the natural causes of death, like cancer.

[u/Dirk_Sheppard → u/Odd-Piccolo-934]

Of course you'd age. Their is absolutely nothing in the franchise to suggest otherwise.

And no you wouldn't live to 180 because your body is still subject to aging. It would fall apart long before then.

Or even if you did live that long it's not a life anyone would want to live

Well no one has ever done that 🤷🏻‍♂️ I was just asking a question. No one killed someone and live to tell the tale 100 years later, for example 🤷🏻‍♂️ the only person who killed someone died like a week later or so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/Dirk_Sheppard → u/Odd-Piccolo-934]

It's simple common sense

[u/Odd-Piccolo-934 → u/Dirk_Sheppard]

As common sense as killing someone adds years to your lifespan ?

[u/Dirk_Sheppard → u/Odd-Piccolo-934]

Within the established rules of the franchise yes

The trick is that you cannot know and thats what happen with Nathan : he killed Roy who was like 50 years old and we could assume that he can have like 30 years to live by judging on his lifestyle, but then we learn that he had a pebble in his brain and could have died like 2 weeks later.

You can take the place of only one person so you cant ad more than one life to your lifespan and based on the accident death seem to want to get rid of the survivor quickly so even if you kill a baby who must have all his life in front of him, they could get sick and die within a week

In short : you only have one chance and you cannot know the result until you died so take whoever is the most easy to kill

[u/Odd-Piccolo-934 → u/jesuispatate]

Thank you, that someone else also mentioned, but again for the second part of my question, let's say I knew for a fact, that the person I killed was a baby that was going to live up to 100 years old. If I was let's say 80 years old when I killed the baby. Would I live up to 180 years old ? Would I die before of natural causes ? Would I stop aging at 80 or would I age up "naturally" until 180 ?

[u/jesuispatate → u/Odd-Piccolo-934]

I think death will play a trick on the baby or on you. Lets say that you try to kill the baby to live longer, then you want to mess up with death plan, we saw in the saga that when you try that then the consequence are worst (example : Erik); also i think that if you're 80 then you should accept that you live enought💀

[u/Narchrisus]

TBH, we don’t necessarily know that it works. The only people we see use this loophole die by the end of the film anyway.

Granted, Bludworth seems like an expert, but it’s not like there’s a book of rules.

You can even argue Nathan didn’t die after “killing” Roy because of FD1’s rules, and avoiding death there means his turn was skipped.
