AI Thread Summary
Survival on a deserted island requires immediate focus on finding fresh water, as it is the most critical resource. Building a shelter should follow closely, using natural materials and tools available. Food sources, including fruits, berries, and game, must be identified, while avoiding anything washed ashore. Establishing sanitation practices is essential for health, and a leadership structure can help maintain morale and organization among the group. Long-term survival strategies may include creating signal fires and exploring the island for resources.

Hey! We need everyone with arms attached! We have too much work to do. Now I have to sew Danger's arm back on. Brewnog and Astronuc, we're going to need some of your stash for disinfection.


Disinfection?

Sod that. The poor chap needs it for anaesthesia! :smile:

*Takes out Zippo lighter from pocket and lights alcohol soaked rags. Danger bursts into flames. Picks up sword and starts arbitratrily swinging at people. Cuts moonbear's left leg off and decapitates Hypatia. Creates motav cocktail by combining alcohol bottle and a piece of cloth. Lights cocktail and throws it at shelters. Giant flames erupt from the straw huts. Astronuc comes screaming out of one of the huts. His afro is on fire! One palm trees catches fire and then the rest. Pulls out nunchucks from back pockets and whacks Evo in the head. Uses grenade to blow up latrines. Finishes everyone off with a rocket launcher. Takes out satellite cellphone and calls for a helicopter.*

The End.

[edit] Almost forgot, *Takes One Ring from wolfram before departing...my precccessioussss*

Ahh, dduardo's helicopter just left. Good job he didn't spot us all hiding in the bushes.

I'm sure we can fix Moonbear up with a wooden leg, and we might be able to sort out Hypatia with a wooden head too.

Astronuc may take a while to recover from his 3rd degree scalp burns, but I've been told that we can perform a graft, weaving his beard-hair into a rudimentary wig.

Evo is still in a state of blissful unawareness of what's been happening since she took the blow to the head. Fortunately, her treatment is confined to wiping dribble off her chin every 20 minutes, and reading kids stories to keep her entertained.

Good job dduardo left behind his rocket launcher, with a couple of spare shells. He'll get a nasty surprise if he tries to come back.

*What brewnog doesn't know is that dduardo instructed the pilot to launch all 16 hellfire missles at the island before leaving. The small island is completely destroyed. You must be in another plane of existence to still be talking.*

*wakes up, rubs eyes* Wow! All that hard work left me with some crazy dreams! I dreamt that dduardo showed up with a sword and started chopping people to bits, then escaped on a helicopter and blew up our island. I really must have too a drink from the wrong bowl last night. That must've been some of brewnog's brew rather than water I was drinking! :bugeye:
 
  • #160
I slept just fine, tho my necks a bit stiff. I could use a hot bath, and a shampoo. "shrugs" time to hit the ocean.
Walking down the beach a bit...a cove..with yucca plants! Strip myself and a break off a stalk and wash with the sap..and note, tell moonbear about yucca..wow am I sunburned!
 
  • #161
Oh, thanks for letting me know about yucca! (Though it always makes me think of Fozzie Bear in the Muppets, "Yucca yucca yucca," was how he laughed.) Does it help with sunburn? If you think you have a bad burn, you should see how crispy I am! I can turn to toast with SPF 50 sunblock on! I think I should start helping out more with the stuff in the forest so I can stay in the shade more.
 
  • #162
Good idea to stay in the shade, yes it helps a lot. Keep your eye out for aloe plants too. I'll weave us some funky palm hats. then find people to look for food. We can even dry some fruits to use later

lol we just got rid of our last self proclaimed leader, so you'd half to be able to do a bit more then that...or at least be willing to learn.

We thought that there was a gassy penquin with a stick trying to muck things up, but it turned out that the fumes from Astro & Brewski's still were hallucinogenic. We've since vented it to the downwind side and there won't be a recurrence.
 
  • #167
Well, seeing as we've gone through 3 self proclaimed leaders already... I think I'll try another approach.

NINJAS ATTACK!

I really don't like to be the leader but I have to, because it's the matter of death and life! o:)

Luckily, Smurf's not-too-bright ninjas attacked the wild boar colony instead of the camp, so they're all dead now. Back to work, people.

Hey what, a new leader , has she passed the tests? Like walkinig
across the fire pit bear foot, and resisting all the male charm :biggrin: if she
has she must be a tough nut, but no, no female could be that tough :biggrin:

Hmm, yes.
It seems dduardo must be my special responsibility here..
After all, I can't let him remain everybody's pain in the ass, can I?

Oh dear, I'm an altruist, I think.

OK, great that you found the map. Nice island.

I am headed to the peaks ASAP.

As for what I missed last evening - :biggrin:

I think dduardo OD'd on testosterone. :rolleyes: And he seemed like such a nice young man. Well it can happen to the best of them.

Whapping a Motown or Joisey gal with a stick, no matter how big, is not a good idea.
Whapping ladies is capital offense in my book. :mad: Punishment is 'obliviation'! :devil:

Not to worry, the hair will grow back. Fortunately, the beard is intact. And btw, I do not scream when I am on fire.

What dduardo doesn't realize is that in his alternate reality, I eat swords and hellfire missiles. :biggrin:

Hey, we'll have to build a condensor to capture the fumes. That stuff is too good to let go! We can bottle it and sell it at the Tiki. Anyway, I need some of that now and then - not that I hallucinate - mild euphoria is about all I have ever managed.

Oh, Nuts! I was looking forward to playing with the Ninjas. Now I only have the boars to play with. :biggrin: I think Smurf got some fumes too. :biggrin:

The scavengers have found the aircrafts tool kit, we found it between the
river Evo and the ridge line on the east coast.
The scavengers are starving hungry from all that treking what's to eat at

*Astronuc unties dduardo* Sorry about that man. It was for your own safety and ours. You got too many fumes from brewnog's brew. That stuff is potent.

Ok, drink plenty of water and eat some fruit. We have plenty of work to do.

dduardo - do you know a dude named 'Opus'?
 
  • #182
Where is that penguin??[/size]
 
  • #183
Thanks Astronuc

I think arildno is hallunicating. Tie him up and get him some fresh water and fruit too.

Before we do anything else we should find the hallunicating agent before we really do start attacking each other. brewnog, what ingredents did you use in your brew?

mixing up some {more} dates and berries, cooking fish caught in the cargo net last night. Mid morning meal is ready!

The water containers are empty, and it looks like its going to be a really hot day. I'm thinking its time to mover closer to the river Evo, and concentrate on the main house.

I think it's those 'mountain grown' kind that did it.

Arildno is fine.

Then, you just might be surprised! :smile:

What is it with these young folk and the 'Leader' obsession? We operate on a communal consensus. Each assumes responsbility for tasks, which hopefully one voluteers to do according to interest or competence. Don't be shy about asking for assistance.

Geez, after this is over I am headed to the Karakorum!

around.
Do we allow spanking on our island :devil:

I agree.
And, I would add, we must develop a mentality of sharing the goods.
Miserly uptightness has no place in our society.

Astronuc,I really need your help.Some of people are getting crazy, so they're saying nonsenses! We should do sth about it very soon because it could have bad effect on others!

Hey, Brewy, Danger, can you make some thing out of a smashed up radio
transmitter, all the valves are smashed, but there are loads of resistors
caps, inductors, etc, we didn't bring it back this trip thought it best to ask
you guys first.

Well,I don't know why you want to kill all these people!Maybe you have a difficult life and you prefer to die but you're not allowed to decide about other's lives!Why don't you want to let others to choose their leader? :bugeye: Maybe you think you're wiser than anyone?Well, I noticed that some wiskies've disappeared lately! :confused: I hope it would have nothing to do with your madness! :rolleyes:

I think it's simply a reaction to tension from being shipwrecked. I think everyone is settling down.

btw - arildno is a good choice as counselor/mentor.

In a situation like this - if we all pull together as a team [Pink Floyd, "Have a Cigar", album - Wish you were here] - we'll get through it. :smile:

All for one, and one for all. :cool:
