[TGE I] OOC

[Barry Goldwater]

OOC: Barry, if nobody remembers anything, what the hell is the point of the supporter system? If we can't even carry a conversation with these idiots, how can we be expected to create a country?

Dude, priorities. You might want to gather enough food to survive the first night in before trying to build a society from the ground up. You could even do it right after gathering said food & water, ex. choosing leaders to fairly divide up the rations & keep the masses in order.

That, and it'll fall to you to remind those who had forgotten why they're here in the first place. Which is in turn achieved by reclaiming your own memories, or getting someone who did that first to do it for you.

Lastly I should remind y'all that making speeches isn't the only way to round up supporters. Feed 'em, give them water & shelter them, prove that you can be a leader in more than words, and they'll join you at your speeches in ever greater numbers even if they don't remember anything else & even if you don't really outline what you can do for them beyond 'I've taken care of you in the past and will continue to do so in the future so join me, m'kay?'

[Agamemnon]

Sounds silly. People are such mindless sheep. But fine, I'll discover the secret of these watermelon things, gather a bunch of them, and bring them back to camp.

[Kip]

You know how we always talk about how IH would do in a zombie apocalypse? I'm beginning to think we'd be less successful in a "first encounter" scenario, as consensus seems to be 1) meet new alien life form 2) put it in mouth.

[Dan the Man]

We haven't eaten in a thousand years. I must admit I am pretty worried about these fish things, but who exactly is going to take the time to test it and how are they going to go about it? Besides, I don't think Barry is so devious as to kill half of us off at the very start just because our characters started looking for food.

...right...?

We could also eat one another, thats safe and tested

[Dan the Man]

Who goes first?

[Dave Strider]

aggy

[Dan the Man]

Let's make it fair: Whoever runs the slowest.

[Dave Strider]

So either Aggy or Me.

[Agamemnon]

Probably you, I've been dieting and exercising.


Anyway, no cannibalism. I'd rather die of alien poison than eat another man (especially since eventually whoever is left will have to eat the alien poison or starve, making cannibalism pointless anyway).

[Watercress]

Right Aggy, come back here and tell us that after three weeks of no food.

[Dan the Man]

Hopefully we won't quite get that far.

[Pericles of Athens]

after some time finds a sharp stone

I dont think you can just find a stone a mod has to say you found one, or it would seem that way.

[Dan the Man]

I said I found some flint earlier and Barry didn't say boo, so I think we're okay.

[Pericles of Athens]

Oh I stand corrected then, it also made all our searching for sticks a waste of time.

[Agamemnon]

Then I suppose my stick is sharpened, and I can go deeper into the forest.

[Dave Strider]

...Then probably you.

[Agamemnon]

No, because if I knew we were going to eat humans I would run away and live off the poisonous things in the forest.

[Dave Strider]

Exactly. So you'd be the one to die, by default, because we'd all be trying to eat you, and you'd just be absconding.

[Dan the Man]

But if we eat him and there's poison in him, we might die.
