General Discussion / You're starting a new society!
« on: March 23, 2013, 12:11:42 pm »
This is homework.

So, my group and I have been tasked with starting a new society with the following prompt:

Your group must pick an island to land on. All traces of society have been erased, resources that have been spent are back in the earth, any animals/plants that are currently on the island are there now. You get to bring a box, the material of which is your choosing, which holds roughly 1 cubic yard. You can put anything into the box.


Pertinent info:
We've split up different parts of the assignment to be covered in each of our essays/presentations. My semi-assigned part is government. Semi-assigned because no one in the group (aside from me) has a clue about what should be put in here.
I'm here to ask for help and novel ideas- anything/everything, criticize away.
Here's my blueprint:

Government

Laws

Punishment

Enforcement

But yep, was having issues pulling up discussions/papers on this kind of hypothetical situation, and my group's about as helpful as a bag of wet tissue paper. I can provide extraneous info if you request it, (we've picked britain as the island, we've 5 members, 2m3f, aren't a religious group, box is packed full of books/tools etc).
Give me your knowledge!

Remember what was in the package.

Shake the package really hard, listen.

Light package on fire. Celebrate.

Granted. You can only tell them to hunt you down and nest in your orifices. All of them. ('Ants or orifices?', 'Both.')

I wish for a living tame pet ant the size of a van which is friendly, is understanding of other beings' pain, understands it can unintentionally harm others if it isn't careful, takes care, is benevolent, is wholly loyal to me but still able to take care of itself, obediently obeys my commands in an expeditious manner, is respectful and kind to others, eats only veggies, eats sparingly for its size but still stays nourished with ease, is already well-known and accepted throughout the world as a stand-up kind of bug with a total lack of animosity between anyone and it, is a perfect anatomical specimen for an ant which has been enlarged to van-size, is able to automatically perform any and all normal bodily functions such as digestion and movement, is incredibly lucky, is immune to mental illness, is of a young-human-child's intelligence level, has eyesight on-par with a humans, has visual processing capacities on-par with humans, weighs only 2 tons, and comes with a freaking saddle that fits onto the ant and allows me to ride him wherever I go.

That's because I don't want to play as an ugly-lady. Player input yo.

"Ha! A dozen men vs. a single knight? You should have brought better oddss if you wished to be foolish. The battle is over. Let us keep it that way."
+1

Are you still accepting applications?

-edit
Also: we aren't mechs, we're just giants?
weapon/defense idea:

Grooved ball thrower that hurls cannon shells, apparantly called a xistera

Racquets would be a defense/return against this, so incorporating it into say a spear blade or shield would add another level of tech

-edit
Say, if we're giants, they must have seen us approaching from forever away. Trap? LOOK BEHIND YOU!

Granted. It doesn't occur to people, it is now an automatic, reflexatory response.

I wish for the ability to undo any (undo-able) knot *IN A TIMELY FASHION, without bodily harm or damaging the knot medium*. I'm looking at you christmas goddamn lights. You too slinky.

3954
:( /le shrug, nothing we aren't used to. Thanks for the heads up & reply though.

3955
I dunno how I'd feel about a 12-year old teacher. d10 +20?
I agree w/ greatwyrm, but if you want our input anyway, how about a compromise: we could present our roll charts?

Otherwise my previous +1 stands

Hmm, I vote for her their skin tone to be (loosely) based on her their environment, but if not lets make her them all light brown!

Hmm, so are you thinking there're only like 7 wyverns or double-digits? I'm assuming there's something like a council of generals that rules under them & establish the hierarchy?
ALSO! Continental map!

No, bad alamoes, bad!
