Secure a Seat on the New Planet: What You Need to Know

[wolram]

The planet is doomed, how do you make sure you get one of the limited seats to the new planet.

A person who knows how to smelt iron may be chosen over one that knows how to split atoms, and a person who can build a wind mill may be chosen over one that can build a computer, but then who knows.

 

[Cyrus]

How much dope do you smoke when you come up with these wacky thread ideas?

The quality must be very good. Afghani?

 

[binzing]

Yes, must be a hybrid. Anyways, yeah...wow.

Telephone sanitizers, TV directors and marketing consultants to the first Ark.

I'm a capitalist - I'll own the spaceship.

Drug dealers have no chance, sorry Cyrus.

 

[Moonbear]

I'll just strip naked, grab a football, and convince all the men they couldn't bear to blast off into space without me.

 

[Evo]

While all of the men are diverted by Moonbear, Evo loads the fruitbat and Dr Foofer into the Rocket Ship and blasts off.

Only too late does she realize that Wolram designed the rocket and forgot that there was no destination, and no way to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere without incinerating.

Luckliy Dr Foofer is able to rig a transporter up at the very last second and we are all safely transported back to Earth.

The End.

 

[mgb_phys]

Evo loads the fruitbat and Dr Foofer into the Rocket Ship and blasts off.

Only to discover that the rocket ship is on a treadmill and so can't get airborne!

 

[binzing]

Wow Evo, that's just as weird! Dr Foofer?

 

[Evo]

Only to discover that the rocket ship is on a treadmill and so can't get airborne!

Oh, well, yeah, and we realize that we are on a treadmill still on Earth and Dr Foofer's transporter doesn't really work.

Hey, he's just a cat that watched a lot of Star Trek, what did you expect?

 

[fileen]

doomed...

I think anyone who can split atoms can figure out how to smelt iron or build windmills.

 

[Evo]

I think anyone who can split atoms can figure out how to smelt iron or build windmills.

And maybe start a fire?

 

[Kurdt]

I'm the only person to have successfully made love in zero G. If its a generation ship, I have to be there.

By the time they find out I was lying its too late. muahaha

 

[Kurdt]

And maybe start a fire?

Oh an even better excuse. I have a box of matches.

That is just cruel, i would let you lot board the dummy ship and then nip off in the real one.

May be they could, but a true foundry man would be making implements by the they have.

There is one critical piece of info you need to supply:

What process is used to make the determination?
Adjudicated vote?
Popular vote?
Committee?
Audition?

 

[wolram]

I think it would have to be a Committee, and their findings not issued until the last minute.

 

[Poop-Loops]

If it was a real committee, they wouldn't reveal their findings until long after they were needed.

 

[DaveC426913]

I don't want to play. I played this game with my friends many years ago. (actually, the opposite of this game - a sort of one-of-you-has-to-go musical chairs survival scenario)

Each of them, one after another, for various reasons, voted me the first one to go.

What a bunch of stupidheads.

 

[wolram]

May be you would have a chance dave, unlike Poop-Loops.

 

[edward]

If it was a real committee, they wouldn't reveal their findings until long after they were needed.

:rofl:

 

[Poop-Loops]

Oh please. I wouldn't rely on chance. I'd take your seat.

 

[edward]

Who gets to pick the committee.? Can committee members vote themselves onboard?

We may already have a problem Houston.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

I can refold a map.

 

[wolram]

Oh please. I wouldn't rely on chance. I'd take your seat.

Just as i suspected, the aggression has started , well no it really started with the capitalist.

ROFL.

Edward is out, jimmy is on the short list.

 

[DaveC426913]

The spaceship will need a website. I'm a shoe-in.

 

[wolram]

Thats just 2 possibles so far jimmy and Dave.

 

[Greg Freeman]

I probably helped design it, you'd better bring me along! You might need a spare...

 

[Moonbear]

Wow, tough crowd when a naked woman can't talk her way onto a spaceship.

Okay, I'm really good at tending and breeding animals and can do a fair job of butchering and cooking them too. Wherever you land, you might need some help growing food (you might be tempted to bring along Turbo too, but do you really think a confined space with limited toilets is the place for him to serve his famous habanero relish?)

 

[wolram]

I probably helped design it, you'd better bring me along! You might need a spare...

If you get through the survival test.

 

[Greg Freeman]

Does it require dancing skills? I'd so win
