Bay 12 Games Forum
Finally... => General Discussion => Topic started by: Grakelin on September 15, 2010, 12:31:13 am

So we've all brought up the little scenario in our heads. "If I was stranded on a desert island, what Items would I take?" "What would I need to know?" "What would I need to know in order to run a tiny civilisation?"
Well, here's the scenario for this one. You've got no means to live, at all, but due to pure chance, you've got about five men and women1
and 3 (Three) of your choice of people from this forum.
Be aware that your position as leader isn't set in stone. The John and Jane Doe's aren't going to be helpful, but if you think another person would be better for the job, bring them.
1So that we don't have "Vester/Vector/Janet/etc To breed with"
Carry on.
-
I'd take Jackrabbit for Screws, Vector so we have a chance of survival, and Grakelin as my own phersonal Little BitchTM punching bag.

I think I just laughed. Until I died.
And then came back... Somehow.
I'm a little hazy on that one.

WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE

I'd take Jackrabbit for Screws, Vector so we have a chance of survival, and Grakelin as my own phersonal Little BitchTM punching bag.
...like the tool? Or...

*snort. ::)
-
nuker w knows where it's at.
-
Got ourselves a good start, continue with the bashing.
-
I vote for Vector because she voted for me. This is only reasonable as it encourages other people to vote for my survival.
-
I would take ChairmanPoo, Grakelin, and Tack because we can glue his head to his feet and use him as a tire swing.
-
The fattest ones.

Yeap, it still sounds like double entendre.

Since, in the previous thread, I haven't been included enough times on people's islands to satisfy my need of recognition, I hereby denounce myself as "am having extensive knowledge of astronomy and strong sense of direction".
You guys need a navigator for when you'll inevitably build the raft.
Act IV.
Scene: middle of the ocean, at night; a raft; Il Palazzo and the rest of the robinsons;
(palazzo)
-and this one is called Deneb, or alpha cygni, it's about 1600 light years away from us, and is radiating something like 60000 as much energy as the Sun...
(Robinsons)
-look, are we going in the right direction or not?
(palazzo)
-...
-and that one is called Vega...
(Robinsons)
-Let's just eat him.
-
Aquizzar would dominate the wildlife with his manly chin, Fault would terrify the remainder with drawings of fell beasts, and ToonyMan is a serious bro.
-
Fat ones.
-
As I said before, Momaw, his SO, my wife. And then instead of five random people I'd take an axe, a shovel, a pick, a coffee percolator and a cast-iron skillet. Oh, and coffee. Assuming this isn't a coffee-tree island, which frankly, would be paradise.

oh god I forgot the coffee on my island.
oh god oh god.

We're not leaving this island, that would ruin the fun.

My island has coffee trees.
Send nubile slaves.
-
Nobody has chosen me :-\
-
I choose two clones of me and Vector (just one Vector). Someone has to balance out my utter lack of style/Hoboness/non-math-skilledness.
The plan: the original me hangs out with Vector, learning math and how to stop being somewhat retarded.
Clone1 goes omniciding the ocean for foods. Clone2 has the task of chopping down trees and hunting animals with his bare hands.
Wait, I can take meme-MZ, right? That guy's awesome.
-
meme-MZ would be called MaximumHERO.

Nikov, if you're bringing your wife to the deserted island with you, you're not really married.
-
Nikov, if you're bringing your wife to the deserted island with you, you're not really married.
Why, because nobody would take their wife who nags them about getting a job, fixing the house, paying bills, visiting inlaws, managing finaces, mowing the law, and emptying the dishwasher to a place where there are no jobs, houses, bills, inlaws, finances, lawns, or dishes; only hot, passionate beach sex?
I'm confused.
-
Beach sex sounds awful, unless being exfoliated is a fetish for you.
-

Beach sex IS awful. Take a towel or blanket.
-
Yeah, sand gets everywhere no matter what activity you are doing on a beach, so one that requires nudity will not end well. Plus facing the risk of un-assisted childbirth some months later, assuming you aren't dead or rescued by them.
-
I don't see why people have been freaking out about the childbirth thing. People have been doing it literally since the dawn of man, well before organized medicine.
-
I don't like sand. It's coarse and irritating and it gets everywhere.
-

Yeah, but they had practice, because there was no other option for a long time. We live in a society where only doctors tend to have training in childbirth. There are sheer number of things that can go wrong or leave lasting harm. I even think I once read that human childbirth is more hazard filled than that of all the other great apes.
-

I would pick Renault because of this post.
Also two other people completely at random.
-
I still think that we should just all go.
-
Lets load every single bay12 member onto a ship (+ some computers for Toady to code on) and just shipwreck it on a desert island.

Yeah, but with both mothers and babies dying in droves

And a bunch of computers for us to play on. And a big generator.

Without the rest of the world to hold us back, we'd have nuclear fusion in only a few months. Someone would notice.
-
Stuck on a desert Island... (usually it is deserted Island... not desert)
I'd take a B12 gamer who knew desert survival, how to build boats, and preferable the ability to teleport us to any location in the universe. Ohh and they have to like me enough to be willing to help me.
-
Stuck on a desert Island... (usually it is deserted Island... not desert
No, desert island is correct.
-
Stuck on a desert Island... (usually it is deserted Island... not desert)
I'm voting for being stuck on a dessert island.

We'll get it done after this next community game, I swear. :P
Also, I'd prefer to be on a deserted island as opposed to an oceanic sandbar. I like my vegetation, even though I can't eat most of it.
-
Well here is the thing
If it is a Desert Island that means there could very well be a population and a city. Meaning I can be absolutely perfectly safe on that island
If it is a Deserted Island that means I am very well doomed.
Heck I should change my answer to bringing a Bay12gamer with a Satalite phone and GPS and food and money (American Bills)
-
Dude, "Desert Island" means "Deserted Island".
-
Dude, "Desert Island" means "Deserted Island".
Then what is an Island that is also a desert?
-
Antarctica.
-
Antarctica.
Yes but what do you CALL that island?
-
Antarctica.
That's a continent.
Ha!
(should've chosen Greenland)
-
Antarctica.
That's a continent.

Pish tosh. Next you'll be saying Asia is a continent. Which is patently ridiculous.

Don't be silly. Asia is a female name in Poland. Everyone knows that.

Asia and Europe are political continents anyhow. They arn't even "Real" continents or Islands.

The original Topic was a "Tropical" Island. Except Grakelin is a Ijjit, so him stupid.
-
Are you sure Grakelin doesn't just have a subconcious desire for us all to die of starvation and heat stroke?
-
Yes, but 'Ijjit' is so much of a nicer word than 'Dick'
-

A cursory search on both Google and Wikipedia turned up nothing, so I have no idea what/whom you're talking about.
-
Sounds kinda like some Japanese super hero.

Much better than my old Japanese nickname, anyway.

What makes you think it's subconcious?
-
What was your old japanese nickname?
-
Sensei used to call me O-baka-chan whenever I messed up.
I didn't realize what he was calling me until after his funeral. :-\
-
What does that mean.
-
Baka means "stupid" or "idiot". O is a prefix for "great" or "king". chan is an honorific suffix, usually attached to a little girl.
The way it was explained to me, it was meant to be "King of the Morons".
-
Basically...
You cute little total idiot.
One of the guys in kendo got called cornhead. I was "longhairs."
-
Basically...
You cute little total idiot.
Those words in that order make me go Daww

Cute little total idiot... I'll have to make a note of that.

Yeah, me too. I miss that crazy old coot.
-
Okay, it's certain. Vector, Strife, and MaximumZero. I'd be the youngest on the island, unless Vector turns out to be a 15-year old überprodigy.
-
I'm thinking Lumbajak, Tack and Aqizzar. Someone to talk to, someone who can get shit done and someone who can talk about getting shit done.
-

That's why I'm here. I'm infinitely adaptable; whatever work you need done, I can talk about it.
-
Okay, it's certain. Vector, Strife, and MaximumZero. I'd be the youngest on the island, unless Vector turns out to be a 15-year old überprodigy.
Last I checked, she was a 20 year old überprodigy.
-
Hell yeah! And if Aqizzar talks about it enough, I can get it done. We make a bloody good team.
Also, it means 'tiny mountain', or something close to those lines.
-
I bet Aqizzar searches his name with the search tool.
-
He certainly talks about it.
-

You said you loved me then edited it out.
You charlatan.
-
But... But you know I love you, Jackrabbit.
Didn't you see what I wrote on the Last, Last list of people I'd take?
-
Nobody opts for me, the rifleman from Kentucky. Consider the value of moonshine, woodsmanship and fresh tapir steaks.
-
Should we make a list of people and their relevant skills, and then put together a list of people based on the desired outcome of the island trip?
-
Everyone seems to want to bring along Aqizzar, Nikov. Apart from those people who love hearing the sound of heated political discussion I think bringing either of you precludes the other.
-
See, my maths knowledge is superceded by Vector, and my engineering and science and programming stuffs is superceded by other forum peoples. And I run a 25:00 5k, can't bench 90 lbs., and don't have enough body mass to be considered for food.
-
I'm not sure math and engineering knowledge would be all that useful on a desert island. Unless you needed to build a helicopter out of coconuts to fly off the island.
-
Dammit, this gives me a reason to take Architecture next year.
Maths and stuff are useful later on. For example, in building optimized weaponry, in designing a pen for domesticated animals, etc. Really, though. I wouldn't build a helicopter out of coconuts. My tastes are more leaned towards mangos and airplanes.
-
And For all that is boxworth, Farming isn't just about food!
I should show you guys a picture of the "cubby house" I built as a nine-year old kid.
Or I would, except it's rotted and fallen down now. It was made entirely out of evergreen trees which we cut down with an axe, and then put together into a gigantic ass longhouse. With half-assed thatching on the roof and everything.
It wasn't exactly structurally stable, we were nine, but it was Big.
Took a few holidays, that's for sure.
So yes, I can build anything from a dog kennel to a shed to a house, depending on what tools are available.
-
again, no one wants to take me. :'(
-
I will take Tail, Huesoe(?) and any of you other whiny bastards who want to die horribly on a desert island

Lived on a horse farm for a year and a half before homelessness ensued. It's a hard life for a city slicker.
-

What are you going to do with optimized weaponry, and wouldn't someone who just had some experience working with their hands be better at doing all of that anyway? I mean, what are you going to optimize about your weaponry, anyway? If you're stranded on a desert island, your weaponry is probably a pointy stick and some rocks.
-
Yeah, but horses are nuts, man. They PSYCHO.
-
Everyone seems to want to bring along Aqizzar, Nikov. Apart from those people who love hearing the sound of heated political discussion I think bringing either of you precludes the other.
I just said I'd have my rifle. I'd restrain my discussion with Aquizzar to very short retorts. One, maybe two at most.
-
We should probably kill all the horses in the world. And then beam a message into space describing how we subjugated them and used them as slaves on our farms and in our wars, and then how when they had outlived their usefulness, we systematically exterminated every single one of them. And then wrap it all up with some thinly veiled threats.
Scare the shit out of those goddam aliens.
-
I would take the people I hate.
I would need to go to the island several times.
No offence to most of you. I like most of you.

Retort is another name for the bang from a gun right?
-
I.e. Aqizzar is a Texan Rifleman.
Plus a political mastermind.
Therefore, it's one of you or the other.
Aquizzar
ALSO, NO 'U'!!!!
-

Eh, substitute math/engineering for generalized problem-solving ability and logic, and there's some utility to be had. Trained labor is obviously better than problem-solving, but if you don't have the necessary skills, then potential is a pretty good thing to put in your back pocket.

I worked at an overnight camp for boys out in the Ontario wilds for a few years, teaching 9-12ish years-olds camping skills over the course of every July-August. A far cry from 'survival skills' but I have paddled 88 kilometers in 11 hours straight overnight and can run through pitch black forest with a decently heavy canoe on my back plus a backpack full of gear, no problem. Also I'm good with kids should the inhabitants inhabit said 'desert' island long enough to birth and raise children.

Me- Wilderness expert.

Guy 1: So your trapped on a deserted island and you could only bring one thing. What would it be?
Guy 2: A Teleporter
Guy 1: Real things please
Guy 2: Well I am not very well going to bring an imaginary teleporter with me
Guy 1: sigh
-
We already have teleportation technology.
However, we can only do it with a single atom.

Actually that isn't true either. It doesn't teleport it clones at long distances.

Needs Citation.
-
I wouldn't bring an imaginary teleporter either, in fact given that I'm being forced into a deserted island scenario I should get anything I want.
-
Yeah, it clones at long distances and then destroys the original.
I thought they couldn't make it Not destroy the original, though.

I'm no wilderness expert, I'm just good at keeping myself alive in crappy situations.

Did we already deforest the island? I thought it was tropical before.
-
I dunno. We were in the middle of an argument about desert island vs deserted island and then it got derailed. I still wanna make a database of everyone, though.
Don't mind me, I'm a freak.
-

Well with all those people making boats and rafts is there any wonder there is no more vegetation?
-
Good thing we have a squad of wilderness experts on our forest-less island, then.
:P
-
Good thing we have a squad of wilderness experts on our forest-less island, then.

And Teleporters both real and imaginary

Right, so, island with nothing but sand, several boats and rafts, a bunch of guys who know all about living in forested areas, and Schrodinger's teleporter. Fuck yes this is the best island

I'm a semi-pro idiot. I could have gone pro after highschool if I wanted to. Bring me along to get eaten by whale sharks.

Toughbook?
I have to admit that sounds better then what I would have wanted from panasonic
-
Well, if we're gonna be like that.
I'd bring Janet, WorkerDrone, and Jackrabbit.
Mostly so Jack and I can talk and face the ocean No Matter What We Hear.
-
So you'd bring them along specifically so you could ignore the fact that you brought them along?
-
While we are at it I'll bring a mansion with servants and plently of supplies (and a generator) with tons of guards.
And none of you can visit!
-
So you'd bring them along specifically so you could ignore the fact that you brought them along?
No, Jackrabbit. I'm implying that if I brought them along, as a favor to them both, they'd both ignore the fact that We came along.
IF U NO WAT I MEAN LOL <(^.^)">

If we ever get stranded on this island, it's under my terms, okay?

What do you mean? why wouldn't you want to be on this island?
Ignoring that it is quickly running out of space. I swear we have more characters then Lord of the Flies.

Hearing crickets instead of laughter doesn't necessarily mean nobody understood the joke. You're also joking about killing me, I don't find that funny.
I find it goddamn hilarious.

And suddenly Nikov's joke made me burst out laughing.
Not really. It was Aqizzar's response.
But yeah, Nikov, your joke reminded me too much of 'Marry, 'twas a sharp retort'
Anyone Get the Reference?
-
You see, a retort as in a receptacle used by alchemists, you know, yes, right, and also a retort as an insulting response to a... yes...
-
By the way folks, the normal literary-wank term for a rifle being fired is a "report" not a "retort".
-
Yes, but report wouldn't work in the context, so I opted for a pun.
-
I guess I'll have to take this queue then. Geez.
You see, a retort as in a receptacle used by alchemists, you know, yes, right, and also a retort as an insulting response to a... yes...
Ohohohoh, and what makes it even funnier is that it was actually an alembic.
Anyway.
It was punfunny, but in a thoughtful way.
How about just saying 'Any issues will be dealt with by me shooting people'.
Much more likely to get cheap laughs.
Cheaper?
"Any issues will be dealt with, by me shooting people in the face."
CHEAPER?
"Any issues will be dealt with by giving them Doublicious Double Downs Burgers! Oh, MAAAAAAAAAN. But seriously, totally shoot you in the balls."
CHEEEEEAAAPER!?
"ANY ISSUES WILL BE ADDRESSED BY MY 'GUN'. IN YOU! AHAHAHAHA!"
CAN IT GET ANY CHEAPER? YES IT CAN!
"... SEX!"
-
The problems is half the forum would realize I'm joking but pretend I'm not, and the other half of the forum would report me for death threats.
Besides, Aqizzar and I have already discussed killing eachother. Its a forum in joke by this point.
-
Someone needs to draw a picture of this island now.

I'd take Aqizzar because the manly chin suggests he could build stuff while I hang out with the ladies. And a bunch of random people. And one of those penguins in case we have to resort to eating each other.
And then I'd take a vocal atheist and a vocal theist together from one of the B12 religion threads. Occasionally drop them a line about how we all will die and what would happen after we die.
After seeing those two argue for years, everyone else would be more grateful to be in . They'd also be useful entertainment in case we end up on some reality TV show.
Certainly not taking ThreeToe or Toady One.. both of them are sadistic bastards and they'd end up making themselves gods. Toady would probably end up carving some epic statue, ThreeToe would probably write a remake of lord of the flies as a propaganda tool.

Well I see the deforestation somewhat...
But where is the mansion and massive transporter and tons and tons of people?
-
Fuck you bitches I'm taking myself, ToonyMan, and Cthulhu. And maybe Duke, if I can't take two of me. Taking the Chin is cheating.

If taking Aqizzar is cheating, I say we Runesmith an entire army of Aqizzars led by a MaximumHero.

If we're playing Lord of the Flies I get to drop the boulder on the fat kid.

While we are at it I'll bring a mansion with servants and plently of supplies (and a generator) with tons of guards.
And none of you can visit!
You'd be murdered in an elaborate fashion and left in a locked room before the end of the first day.
And the fact that your guards didn't react to intruders will only serve to prove that it was an inside job.
-
So you'd bring them along specifically so you could ignore the fact that you brought them along?
Wait, Janet is Sniper Joe, right? Sniper Janet and Workerdrone seemed like pretty cool dudes, did they have insane meltdowns while I was gone, or something like that?

Ohh I thought it was a stock picture, I had no idea someone actually drew it.
-
Well, it is a nice picture. Especially if it's MS.
But it's not really 'Desert', is it?
-
Yes it was MS Paint, and its exactly the island I drew. It was a tough call adding jungle foliage. But it was mine. And I made it. Deal.
-
Apparently, Nikov falls on the "deserted" side of the argument. Aqizzar?
-
Apparently, Nikov falls on the "deserted" side of the argument. Aqizzar?
What? What am I supposed to be rendering an opinion on? What "desert" means as a preceding adjective?
I choose to become momentarily dyslexic and imagine the island as a giant sundae in the middle of the ocean. I'm not going to draw a picture because I'm lazy.
-
Meh, that's good enough for me.
-
We can go sledding on it. It's an excellent idea.
-
That is an excellent idea.
...because I respect you, Vector, I'm not going where I was initially going to go with this response. ^_^
-
Or we could, y'know, Eat it.
But yeah, sledding and eating is fun.
And if you fall off, you won't get hurt. Just really sticky.
-
Chocolate cliffs, banana beaches, cherry pie filling, ice cream jungles (with sprinkles!) and a whipped cream cherry sauce volcano. Diabetics better like eating fish.

Nice picture of Yoshi's Island, there.

The Chocolate Cliff levels pissed me off.

I said Whipped Cream Cherry Sauce Volcano in that voice that the guy from Major Pain and My Wife And Kids uses.
Which made it moderately more hilarious.

This is why there is an ocean to wash off in.
Duh.

You're suggesting we wash off the stickyness in salt water? The island will get all icky with no way to dry off.

Congratulations, you finally did it. You showed me up. Why the fuck didn't I think to do that? It's perfect.

I vote for tongue baths instead of washing off in the disgusting ocean.

Nothing.
Nothing at all.

Freshwater ocean.

I can see that I haven't thought this through very well. Curses, physics! Foiled again!

...what?
I hope you're flexible.

The sea is gonna have melted ice-cream and chocolate in it anyway.
... Meh. Maybe the sweetness will attract sea life.
-
I vote that Maximum Zero's creepy tongue baths be allowed nowhere near Island 12. (I also vote we name it Island 12.)
-
Also, I gotta say, but Physics has got nothing on a whipped cream cherry sauce volcano.
It could be a bloody ocean of lemonade, really.
-
Everyone on the island will have to be completely hairless, unless they want to turn into a walking gumwad. What kind of building materials can one obtain from a sundae anyway? There's not even anywhere to lay down.
-
We'll also have to kill all the insects on Earth to ensure none get near the precious island.
-
All right, all right.
How about we have a desert island, close to a deserted island, close to a dessert island (also known as Modified Physics Island)?
Sort of like this:
O
O O
So they're all close to each other and easily accessible. Then we get everything we could possibly want or need: building materials, sand, cannibals, and diabetes.
-
We could build a shelter using the inhumanely large sprinkles, and use the hot cherry sauce to melt the chocolate so we can use it as mortar.
I get kinda sad realising that I'm the only person in the world who would seriously consider how to survive on such a warped island.
-
I hope you're flexible.
I'm flexible, but I'm not that flexible. Also, aww, you're no fun. :P
Also, I vote that the ocean around Modified Physics Island be made of Root Beer, as opposed to saltwater. Also, there is a fluted glass wall just high enough to keep the actual ocean at bay.
-
Yeah, nobody wants to taste gravel And ice-cream, when they could just eat, say, Ice-cream.
-
I'd just like to take a second to point out that we are making serious plans about all of this. We are so weird.
Right, back to the plan:
There would have to be some way to neutralize the airspace between Modified Physics Island and the others, to insure no birds or insects pass over. We could use a dome for that, but it would be far more badass to have a death lazer on the desert island that zaps anything not human headed towards MPI.
-
Hmm... spun sugar could work, but I'm worried about how we'd manage to blow a spun sugar dome with our intrinsic size difficulties.
-
Not cool enough.
How about a gigantic ass bug-zapper?
I'm sure the volcano would incinerate any insects dumb enough to try and eat it.
-
We need a dome made out of death lasers.
Invisible death lasers.
-
Invisible death lasers powered by individual keystokes on Tarn Adam's computer.
-
Sort of like this:
O
O O
Throw an active volcano right in the center, and we can call it a tasty, sandy model of a Rosette Orbit.
Just imagine how hyper the requisite sharks would be around an island made of sugar.
-
Invisible death lasers powered by individual keystokes on Tarn Adam's computer.
The keyboard is also on fire.
-

And is now diamonds.

I would suggest we use the spun sugar idea. As long as the sun didn't heat it too much, it would provide a solid foundation for structures.
-
And tasty.
-
There are both desert and tropical islands within close proximity. The sun is going to be an issue.
-
Is it just me, or would we never go to the desert island?
As far as I can see, Dessert and Deserted are perfectly sweet and savoury.
Also, that's what the Modified Physics is for.
It's always cold. Just cold enough.
-
The desert will provide a large, flat plain for our crazy megaprojects and doomsday devices to keep the rest of the world away.
-
But were will we get the spandex for our EVIL costumes?
-
All the innocent passing ships we explodify, of course.
-
Sorry to say, but you wouldn't catch me dead wearing evil spandex.
I'd rather be naked.
In a desert.
Edit: On fire.

Hey, never said it didn't make a good NOT EVIL disguise.

For the best, anyway. If we continue this could go the way of the Feudalism Thread.

Indeed.
But at least it isn't a gigantic popularity contest now.

It does seem to be a lot more fun, even though I'm just being creepy instead of punching sharks.

The Rocky Road pun is so close, I can almost taste it.
Also, the Evil Island of Diabetes has me thinking of The Big Rock Candy Mountain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6kv_eGSGZ4)... sans the Hobo motiff.

-
I would bring Grakelin and Il Palazzo. I have learned that Il Palazzo is a fearsome opponent and no matter how cunning and devious my plan he will wait and methodically plan his revenge which will inevitably strike with the certainty as the coming of day and night. And Grakelin because he and I are both ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-squidites. It's an ironclad rule that the community will never die, so we'll both have to survive to keep it going.
When the monsoon season starts, I'll trick Il Palazzo into taking the raft out and getting swept away by a hurricane. Me and Grakelin will be left behind without him. The seasons will go by, years maybe, but Il Palazzo won't give up. He'll survive and return to civilization and then he'll come searching. He will track down the godsforsaken island we are trapped on and return late one night for revenge. Then me and Grakelin will steal his boat and escape.
Not sure about who the third person would be. Who knows how to GM dnd 3.5?
-
You make it sound so easy.
-
... Why has Grakelin picked me to breed with?
-
Grakelin just picked all of the 'chicks'.
He's not one for major planning.
-
Because it's impossible for Cthulhu to propagate the future of the island with me.
-
You're actually thinking that the island would have a Future?
It's made out of ice-cream, for sweet's sake!
-
I didn't pick any breeding partners. I picked Vector for her mathematical abilities and intelligence (which roughly translate into "know how to make stuff we build not fall down"), but quite frankly, I'm outclassed by all the ladies in this forum. I'll happily admit that I'd never have a shot, even on a deserted/desert/geoscaped to be made of ice cream and candy island.
-
Yeah. With an abundance of chocolate on one island, and a gigantic amount of tropical flowers on the other, what on earth could you give them as a courting gift?
Though, with all the ice-cream, they'd be fine if there was a break up.
(Yes, I'm playing to the steriotype here.)
And no, I didn't exactly pick anyone on 'Breeding Qualities' either.
If it was just three people, I might have, for the simple reason that nothing but male companionship would get very, very stressing.
But yeah, If I'm going to raise a happy little civilisation of my own, I don't want them to be too inbred.
-
Now you just sound like a chef.
"Just inbred enough to give that lovely 'hick' flavor."
-
I should turn this into a forum game and roll dice to see who lives and who dies on this island.

Who's all on the island? Which island? Desert, deserted, or dessert? Maybe we should set up a forum RP of landing on an island via shipwreck?

-
See? This IS going the same way as the Feudalism thing.
Grakelin, it seems like it's time to move this shit to forum games.
-
We can make a third thread for that. No need for moving threads.
-
I haven't read most of the thread.
but here's my three:
Vector - Everyone likes her, I do to. Would make good company.
Org - What could possible go wrong with this choice? Whenever I need to remember how important it is to escape, or whenever we need to vote on who does the job noone wants to do... ;)
And finally...
ToadyOne - Because if I'm stuck on an island and can't have dwarf fortress, none of you can have dwarf fortress.
Mwahahaha

Today I found that I have a skill that may be useful on a deserted island. I can run faster than a Kodiak bear, assuming that the chase lasts less than six miles. I'm totally ready to survive anywhere in the Aleutian Isles.
-
I always admired you cross-country types.
Now me, I'm the type who would elbow a Kodiak bear in the head until I stop moving, but, somehow survival seems a bit more useful than that.
-
I would attempt to come to an amiable solution with the bear.
I would then be killed.
-
According to various zoology sites, the top-end speed of a Kodiak over a quarter mile is roughly 30 miles an hour. Good luck outrunning it.
-
...and the world record for fastest recorded human is about 25 MPH, if memory serves. So you are screwed either way. Well, unless you brought a gun.
-
Meh, with MaximumHero, he'd just let the kodiak bear gnaw on him until it's gums start bleeding, and then he'd hit it with shark-chuks.
-
Usain Bolt ran the 2009 World final in 9.58 seconds. His top speed was 27.45 mph or 44.172 km/h.
Meh, with MaximumHero, he'd just let the kodiak bear gnaw on him until it's gums start bleeding, and then he'd hit it with shark-chuks.
LOL! Nice.
-
Fastest is 27.5 mph, actually. Also, I meant that I could outrun it if I spotted it from over 100 meters away, in which case I could outlast it, due to their inability to keep up 30 mph for more than a couple hundred meters, whereas I can keep up 10 mph for hours.
unless you brought a gun.
Of course, I always bring two with me. They just remind me of noodles.
-
Alright, lets do this.
Aquizzar & Nikov:Deserted jungle island.
A plane swoops over the island, and suddenly crashes in the water!
What happens next?
-
They get the black box from the rear of the plane, as well as the secondary emergency supplies case from behind the pilot's seat?
But yeah, that theory goes to hell as soon as you mention 'Aqizzar & Nikov'
There can only be one.
Also- No 'U'
-
Obviously Nikov will shoot the trespassers for crossing into his island without going through the immigration process, while Aqizzar will preach at them and Nikov like a liberal bleading heart as he also shoots the tresspassers for crossing into his island.
-
Is this going to be like Lost?
-
Also- No 'U'
I AM ALWAYS PRESENT AND YOU CAN NEVER GET RID OF ME.
I CLIMB OUT OF THE PLANE WRECK.

put on the postal hat change to the 'U' avatar.

maybe we could kill the kodiak bear simply by waddling along the scorching hot beach as fast as we could and hoping it would get heat stroke and maybe die
-
I RISE AGAIN

WHO HERE CHALLENGES ME?
Back in the saddle again.

By the powers of high school-grade physics, I declare you mauled, dead and consumed 50 meters into the chase.
You might want to reconsider your trip to the island.
-
See, you should take me instead. I could put five rounds into that bear at 100 meters.
-
Il Palazzo, did you factor in the fact that for the first quarter mile or so, I'd be running at least 15 miles per hour? What does your science think of that?
Yay for giving homework over the internet.
-
Your life span has been increased from 12 to 16 seconds, and the bear feasts on you 100 meters from your starting point.
Yay for giving homework over the internet.
Bored Palazzo is bored.
-
In order for you to narrowly miss the bears jaws, the ratio of the distance that you have a head start to the distance before the bear slows down must be proportional to the ratio of your speeds. So if you can run fast as half as the bear, you must have a head start half as long as the bears distance to slow down. 150 meters IIRC.
-
If I remember correctly, the bear was supposed to slow down after 200m, in which case 15kmph takes Barbarossa exactly to that point. I took the pessimistic approach, and assumed that the transition point is the last one where the bear catches up, rather than the first one where the Seal God escapes.
Besides, it's all assuming that our bear slows down to less than Barbarossa's speed after a 100 hundred meters run.
-
Why is this even an issue? Just use Dead Eye Aim and target the eyes. You'll want to practice this for the Sharpshooter Achievement, anyways.
-
Barbarossa wanted to use his "Crosscountry Runner" skill to win the "I'm not afraid of no bear" achievment while retaining his "Pacifist" badge.
Obvious, really.
ed:typo
-
I bet it wouldn't even notice you. It would be too busy either dying of heat stroke or eating the ice cream beach.

Klondike bars, probably.

Fun new calculation, how quickly must I fire my rifle if it takes five rounds to kill the bear, but each bullet halves the bears top speed. Assume 100 yards.
-
Real men shoot bullseye from 250 feet.
-
Kentuckians shoot bullseye from 250 yards.
Made relevant.
-
So they're slightly worse at shooting than real men?
-
I'm confused. 3 feet = 1 yard. Was your point something else?
-
Australians shoot bullseye from 250 meters.
Made meme.
-
Mythbusters shoot bullseye from 250 kilometers.
If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

Could've sworn it said metres.
Carry on.

X-Ray Lasers shoot bullseye from 250 light-seconds.
If it's worth doing, it's worth really overdoing.

Fun new calculation, how quickly must I fire my rifle if it takes five rounds to kill the bear, but each bullet halves the bears top speed. Assume 100 yards.
I'll replace Yards with Meters because I'm more familiar with doing speeds with them due to Physics class.
Initially, the bear is running at 13.333 m/s. After the first shot, 6.667 m/s. Then 3.333 m/s, 1.667 m/s, and .833 m/s. If you fired off one shot per second, you could kill it in 25.833 meters. If you shot once every three seconds, it would die in 77.5 meters. With four second reload times, you would be dead meat.
-
Yeah, nobody takes four seconds to reload. Not even hella ametures with a bolt-action no-magazine rifle.
Maybe a musket, aquebuss, or blunderbuss, but even that I doubt.
What about from 50 yards? Or meters, because metric is far easier on the maths.
-
Fun new calculation, how quickly must I fire my rifle if it takes five rounds to kill the bear, but each bullet halves the bears top speed. Assume 100 yards.
Hand the job over to a US marine. It takes about .3 seconds for a marine's assault rifle to fire a three round burst. Because you want five bullets, you'll need two bursts and a quarter second pause in between for dramatic effect. At 100 yards, it will take approximately .1 seconds for the final bullet to travel from the gun to the bear. So the bear will have six pieces of lead jewelry in .95 seconds. Assuming it starts out at full speed and halves it's speed with every shot till the fifth, it will have traveled about two meters before it snuffs it.
-
Of course, all of these calculations assume you don't miss.
-
Missing a target the size of a bear at anything less than 200 meters with an M4 would be incredibly tough, even for someone who is shaky from nerves. At 50, a human head size target stays up for about a second in a qualification test.
Source: Just finished Basic. Hooah.
-
Maybe a musket, aquebuss, or blunderbuss, but even that I doubt.
You try loading a musket in four seconds. I want pics.
-
Don't you mean video?
-
You aren't going to capture a four-second musket load on video, at least not without a high speed camera.
-
Don't you mean video?
No, I want a series of pictures shown one after another that have been taken at 1000th of a second intervals.
-
So... a hi-quality 1000fps video?
-
Wikipedia says it took about twenty-twenty five seconds to load a musket, if done by a very experienced person.
I stand extremely corrected.
However, with a MODERN rifle.
-
I wasn't even going to use a modern rifle. I was going to use a 1898 design just to be sporting.
-
Guns are for people who can't punch hard enough. Or from a long enough distance.
-
Yes, yes. Guns over crossbows, crossbows over bows.
Blah.
Not that any of them are going to be useful on a deserted, desert, or Modified-physics island.
-
Wasn't there something called the Mad Minute, which was basically the 1800s version of full auto, i.e. going apeshit in order to fire a whopping either 10 or 6 shots (I forget which) in sixty seconds?
-
So it was like the 1800's version of the Metal Storm (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8hlj4EbdsE) guns, only firing much less than a million rounds per minute.
-
No. From what I can remember...
*click link*
And indeed I'm correct in remembering- the metalstorm is like a modern organ-gun.
the 'Mad Minute' is what a very experienced person can do in a minute with a flintlock rifle.
I think.
-
A Mad Minute is a form of final defensive fire used by infantry platoons. Each soldier fires his weapon on full automatic into his designated kill zones, with machine guns frequently sweeping over friendly positions. It is basically a last-ditch but controlled attempt to clear the platoon's position of the enemy by killing anyone outside of a foxhole.
-
In the 1800's?
-
full auto
In the 1800's?
Not full auto, just as fast as they fuggin' can. No amount of manliness turns a bolt-action gun into a full-auto capable one.
Unless the testosterone somehow froze in the shape of the necessary pa-
No, I've sent a thread down that path already.
Also, I have shares in Metal Storm.
-
I choose Blargityblarg.
He's a sensible investor.
-
Now someone needs to carve a gun out if crystallized testosterone and engrave pictures of muscles screaming and "Alternian fine art" on it.
-
When did I say it was done in the 1800's.
-
So it's a modern-day thing as well?
-
Yeah. I'm going to go with MaximumZero and I.
AXEMEN WARRIORS!
Maybe Jackrabbit too. He's a little tall, but I'm sure he wouldn't run if a Kodiak bear were to be mauling either of us.
Hella Workerdrone.
I want to see what he could do to a shark. They've got three rows of fucking teeth.
-
I've never actually heard of it practiced earlier than Korea, although I'd imagine the Germans developed it on the Eastern Front.
-
He's a little tall, but I'm sure he wouldn't run if a Kodiak bear were to be mauling either of us.
No, he'd just cause it to become poisonous by being on the same continent.
-
They've got three rows of fucking teeth.
Which does? Workerdrone or sharks?
-
Sharks most certainly do, but if you've found out if that's true for Workerdrone, it's already too late for you.
-
He does.
On a necklace...
-
The only time I've heard of a mad minute would be in the first world war. Was interesting to read about.
-
He does.
On a necklace...
I wish. When they removed all the teeth from my hand it was considered evidence.
-
To people who arrived late and have sigs turned off, he is not joking in any way.

Now I wonder who the blow would be detrimental to. Me or the shark?
I guess punching a shark in the mouth wouldn't be the wisest thing a man's done but it wouldn't be the craziest.
-
Actually, punching a shark in the nose is apparently pretty effective at convincing them to not eat you.
Thankyou, mythbusters.
-
Also, shooting it, apparently.
-
The teeth, gentlemen. Let us consider the teeth.
-
The best part about teeth is using them twice.
-
Bah. Dive down its mouth fast enough and you'll be able to tear out its heart before the teeth become a factor.

Yep, sharks hunt their prey in part by "seeing" the electrical impulses their muscular structure generates. They can do this via a sensory structure housed within what we would consider their "nose", so punching it will supposedly cause great pain in said shark. That should really be one's goal in a shark attack, to cause the shark pain. There are plenty of other fish in the sea, literally in this case, and sharks have no intrest in going after the few that can fight them.

It has three rows of teeth, which could be a problem.
However, they continually grow back- so you could get a massive collection.
But in all seriousness, shark teeth would fuck up your hand to punch. They're shaped angrily.
-
You know those shark tooth necklaces with the single tooth?
I need all of them. All three rows.
Edit: In fact once we settle the island I'll be the Shamanic Shark Puncher. It's an occupational hazard, punching sharks, but than someone has to make these necklaces.
-
Someone other than you, because your big beefy fists aren't cut out for the delicate task of boring holes in a shark's tooth using nothing but a rock sliver and a bit of wood.
-
Ruining my dreams before they are brought to fruition yet again, lad.
-
Wasn't MaximumZero was already given the position of Offical Shark Puncher, anyway?
-
Gentlemen there is a easy solution to this.
I punch MaximumZero.
In the face.
-
You're a dreamer, Workerdrone. It's fine, just sometimes you need someone a little more sensible like me to bring your feet back down to the ground.
Also, Razgar would die, punching that shit. In the face.
-
You underestimate Razgar.
-
More honor duels, you say? Oh, this shall be so very sweet when MaximumZero gets on.
-
Mine is the fist that shall break the heavens.

I am here. Gentlemen there is a easy solution to this.

No. You punch a log instead. (Nidan in Ninjutsu, and actually quite good at evading blows.)
-
Yeah, we're not talking about MaximumZero, here...
He punches a mountain. A really tiny one. In the face.
The teeth are diamonds.

What? I don't know what you're talking about. I don't see any internet tough guys in here. No, sireeee.
-

MZ's right. There's a difference between "internet tough guys" and "tough guys who happen to be using the internet."
-
Nice.

You know, honestly, I don't see why WD and I can't work together. It's good to have a brother in arms.
-
It's good to have a brother in arms.
And even better for him to be leaving your arms, having been thrown at a shark to deliver the ultimate punch.

The awesome of what you just said is like if Jack got the trolls' ring, but also prototyped with Kamina and Bro.

That is way too complicated for my tastes.

Big wall of text? Nothing to be afraid of! Also, you do know which forum you're on?

xenon and rat_pack because at one point in time we all had the same avatar.

You don't have to read the rules all at once. Just a word at a time.

That's how I usually read. If I try to do any more than that, it comes out jumbled.
-
I usually skip over sentences when I read. It all just lumps up into moving sights sounds and smells somewhere in the recesses of my brain.
Which is awesome- but it also means when I finish a book I don't have any idea what happened at the start.
Which is even more awesome- especially seeing as I'm very pedantic about which authors I read.
