It's 1794 and you're aboard a colonist ship. You're shipwrecked, brought on by a fierce and dreadful gale in the night - O, the humanity. ...Your ship is unsteadily lodged on shoal some distance from a tiny island. There's no hope for the ship, it's only a matter of minutes before it's dislodged and sinks, so to remain on the wreckage would be futile. Your only hope of survival is on the island. Sadly, all lifeboats were lost in the storm, so you're going to need to swim. You've made it this far, you're not about to give up now...

1. What 3 small items from the ship do you bring with you to the island?
2. Few survivors are left and you can only bring one with you - Who?
3. Are you likely to keep your wits or go insane?
4. Do you try to hide from, befriend, or kill the neighboring cannibals?
5. What name do you give your humble tribe of two?
6. What responsibilities do you dole out to your castaway buddy?
7. How do you signal for help?
8. You're only eating what you can find - What are you desperately craving?
9. The cannibals offer a deal: Give up your buddy for immunity or the two of you will be hunted forever - What is your decision?
10. Only the ship's log book and an empty bottle wash up from the wreckage - Who do you write to and what is the message?

Well, it being 1794..... all of the following questions would really be answered with "Nothing, I still have a very long time til I am even born..... but.. I'll play along.

1. What 3 small items from the ship do you bring with you to the island? Gun powder, a knife and flint I suppose.

2. Few survivors are left and you can only bring one with you - Who? The prettiest one. (Its 1794 after all)

3. Are you likely to keep your wits or go insane? If I were me, Id be pretty crazy to begin with.... I imagine Id keep my wits and what sanity I do have.

4. Do you try to hide from, befriend, or kill the neighboring cannibals? Depends on their numbers... likely hide until I gained enough knowledge on them to decide if they are indeed a threat (They being cannibals and me not of their tribe Im assuming yes) I would then form a strategy to take them down. However the unlikely even they pose no threat.... befriend.

5. What name do you give your humble tribe of two? Whatever her name is and my own.... a group of two is not so much a tribe, more a couple.

6. What responsibilities do you dole out to your castaway buddy? Cooking.... cause I cant.

7. How do you signal for help? When the time is right, use the flint and the gun powder.

8. You're only eating what you can find - What are you desperately craving? Tacos, cause.. I am always craving tacos. Whether they are a valid option or not.

9. The cannibals offer a deal: Give up your buddy for immunity or the two of you will be hunted forever - What is your decision? I'll take hunted forever..... 1) Toro doesn't sell out his friends or his lady. 2) You have no guarantee that cannibals are people of their word.

10. Only the ship's log book and an empty bottle wash up from the wreckage - Who do you write to and what is the message? If thats all that washes up, how do I write without a pen?
Fine, Id write:
"Ill send an S.O.S. to the world, I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my..... message in a bottle...." :sorry:

It's 1794. You're shipwrecked, brought on by a fierce and dreadful gale in the night - O, the humanity. ...Your ship is unsteadily lodged on shoal some distance from a tiny island. There's no hope for the ship, it's only a matter of minutes before it's dislodged and sinks, so to remain on the wreckage would be futile. Your only hope of survival is on the island. Sadly, all lifeboats were lost in the storm, so you're going to need to swim. You've made it this far, you're not about to give up now...

1. What 3 small items from the ship do you bring with you to the island?
~ Knife, rope, and any fresh water I can find.

2. Few survivors are left and you can only bring one with you - Who?
~ I have no clue who I'm with.... >.> I suppose I'd choose anyone who is the most survival-oriented.

3. Are you likely to keep your wits or go insane?
~ I'm already a little insane, so I'll go with keeping my wits.

4. Do you try to hide from, befriend, or kill the neighboring cannibals?
~ I totally smell a Robinson Crusoe story here...but anyways...I'd try and befriend them. If that doesn't work, I'd hide.

5. What name do you give your humble tribe of two?
~ Team Squeaks

6. What responsibilities do you dole out to your castaway buddy?
~ That would be something we both agree on. I don't wanna be boss...and I don't like to be bossed. A mutual understanding between us would be fine with me.

7. How do you signal for help?
~ Very carefully, seeing that there are man-eating people around. o_O

8. You're only eating what you can find - What are you desperately craving?
~ Its the 1700's...um...I dunno...roasted duck? I can't say cheeseburger or ice cream.... >.>

9. The cannibals offer a deal: Give up your buddy for immunity or the two of you will be hunted forever - What is your decision?
~ Good lord, that's an awful position to be in! D: I'd absolutely HATE giving up my friends life to save mine...honestly, that is entirely up to my friend.

10. Only the ship's log book and an empty bottle wash up from the wreckage - Who do you write to and what is the message?
~ I don't write anything. The book can be used to burn and make a fire...the bottle can be good for holding any fresh water I come across.

Well, I wouldn't let you drown...... just whatever you do...... DON'T PANIC or you will drown us both.

Seriously, when someone can't swim and is panicking.. its advised not to help them until they calm down. As they will push you under in a panic, not thinking clearly.... the attempted rescuer will be drowned by the panicking person... and then drown themselves.

Not only that, there really isn't much to swimming outside of NOT panicking, the body's natural buoyancy does most of the work if you just relax anyway.

Mmm, some bull would go really well on the fire. And ketchup. This shipwreck is looking better and better.

Ahh but you forget one key factor.....

You gotta take the bull down before you can put him on the fire. :p

Since it's 1794, it's unlikely that there would be women on most ships. Unless they're immigrants/colonists. Just sayin'.

I love when the realist pipes up. Lol. Instant cold water on the fun. :ahah:

Let's pretend it's a colonist ship then. In fact, I'll edit the OP.

Yup, I hear ya! I would try not to panick, if I can help it. :sorry:
