Here's the deal, there is some big disaster looming (don't ask me what, I can't think of a proper one) and you are charged with picking a small group of people, probably about 5, to sit out the disaster in a shelter kinda like a time capsule, in 20 years the world will be safe again to inhabit, and the whole time these people are in some kind of sleep type pattern......... the only catch is you HAVE to pick at least 4 of your group from NS General.

hokey situation aside........

who do you pick and why?

Dylon, Dylon, Dylon, Dylon, and Dylon.
Because I spit hot fire.

Instead of NSers, could I have luxury items?

Instead of NSers, could I have luxury items?
hmm.......I don't think so.

Anyone who doesn't mind my awful snoring. And irritating personality.. damn, just forget it.

Well, I cannot breed the entire humanity again all by myself, and I do not even like men that much, so I guess I would had to take two males and two females...

Well, females...I need thinking females...And bottle is outright not heterosexual...

Wheredoyouthinkyougoing and Katganistan.

Two males...Thinking, strong males, capable of surviving without complaining and being able to respect...And they have also to be straight...

Sorry, I cannot think of any males, I would go randompick about them...

Oh, I see, they are to continue humanity...? Hmm.
maybe, maybe not.......but probably. ;)

If Alexandre Despatie had an account, he'd be number one on my list.

I think I wasn't clear enough in the OP you get to pick 5, but 4 must be from NS, the other one can be from anywhere. So........who are your other 4?

I need to think about that.

Smunkee, so I can recreate ;)
Straughn, to hump :p
WYTYG, because I need someone to piss off :cool:
Peisany D, DNA resourse.
Harles, just cuz.. :eek:

and who ever else bribes me..

who do you pick and why?
Okay, so I'll out myself as not belonging in any think tank whatsoever by saying that I don't quite understand the premise :S...

I pick 5 people to .... be the only ones beside me who will survive the wiping out of the human race?

And we wouldn't have to even get along in close quarters because we'll be sleeping for the next 20 years?

And afterwards we're the only 6 people on earth? And, god forbid, the only 6 to repopulate earth? And will survival be difficult then, i.e. will we need awesome skills?

Myself, my girlfriend (NSer), her friend (another NSer, female), one of my friends (yet another NSer, female), and my big-thinker buddy (not an NSer...yet, male).

So, it'll be two males, one straight female, and two bisexual females.

Nudity may be the best policy. :cool:

You neglect to mention the sexuality of the males. ^^

WYTYG, because I love her so :fluffle:

Fixed. I love you too, Ruffy. :)

If one do not need to be a nser, then I would pick Jodie Foster as our leader

you got it!:D

Chaps :

IV Stalin, because he's a nice chap, as well as being intelligent.

Fass, because I need a token gay guy, and Sweden is great, plus he works in a hospital and as such might know a bit of first aid which would be really handy, as well as being a nice person.

Chappettes :

Terrorist Cakes, because she is an interesting person, and also has the word "Cakes" in her name, which can only be a good thing, plus she looks nice, and being aesthetically pleasing would be great.

Whereyouthinkyougoing, because I love the name, and her posts are always quite good.



And as my other nomination, from outside of the forums, Mark Ronson, because he's a great DJ and I like dancing quite a lot.

you got it!:D
Apparently I forgot: "Did I just answer my own questions?" :p

Oh, geez, I still have a cryogenic pod to fill, don't I? And it must be a NSer?

Hm...well, for giving me a chance to imagine a society built entirely around my closest friends, I'll give the OP a spot. Congrats, but to quote the crazy head fireman from Ren and Stimpy..."but you're gonna WORK!"

Nudity may be the best policy. :cool:


Isn't it always;) :p :) :D :cool:

You neglect to mention the sexuality of the males. ^^

I don't know about my big-thinking buddy...he's had girlfriends, but he changes his core beliefs pretty often. Things might've developed while I wasn't looking.

Beliefs, huh?

Fixed. I love you too, Ruffy. :)
How dare you put a fl*ffle in there!

well considdering i dont really like people all that much i would opt for 4 people that dont really like other people eather that way we wont bother each other.

I think my first choice is fairly obvious (:p(:fluffle:)), but I'll have to actually think about the rest....

Beliefs, huh?

I dunno, he turned into a bondage freak for a while there...quite the shift from the chivalrous knight he was before...You never know.

I think my first choice is fairly obvious (:p(:fluffle:)), but I'll have to actually think about the rest....
yup :fluffle: (you other 4 will have to put up with us ;) :p)

plus Kanabia, WYTYG, ruffy, and CTOAN :) (especially ctoan if the shelter is Veronica :D :p)


tribes of longton can stow away too ;)

who do you pick and why?
Half men, half women. I don't know who I'd pick, the smartest if possible. MY first thought, of course would be to pick myself, but if some folks proved they were a better choice, I'd pick them. If I picked 6, It would be a man, and woman of each trait. Intelligence, Physical Ability, and Love.

Hmmm, I've been thinking about it.... and I don't know.

It's a pretty harsh premise, isn't it, leaving the rest to die in a horrible if yet to be defined catastrophe?

And as for the repopulating... I'm not so big with the sharing of my men with other women, so that doesn't make it easier.

And as for the awesome survival skills... what if I'd rather bring slackers?

So I'll just take the old hurt-nobody's-feelings cop-out and go for the "I know but I won't say". :p

But for the non-NSer, I'll definitely take an old friend/ex/whatever, who is a basket case but also about the most intelligent person I've ever met in my life. He would come in handy anytime awesome skills are required - maybe he couldn't do the stuff himself, but he could totally invent a fancy way to get them done.
Plus, he has yummy hair and nice arms, so even if all my other picks run off with the other girls :mad: I'll still get some sweeeeet lovin'. :p (and sex with the ex would totally be okay in that situation, obviously. <.<)

Hmmm....


Me (after all, if they let me choose, then why not)
Smunkeeville (best damn teacher and someone I know who has a good head on her shoulders.)
PM and Gliziness (they're already a couple.)
LG (hehehehehehehe)
and TINKS!

Lunatic Goofballs, because we'd need levity and a scientist and we'd get both in one package. And, from tons of personal experience he'd be able to treat minor wounds.

Actually beyond that I couldn't really chose.

*nudge* I could play the cello, and sing tango songs... :D

And whereyouthinkyougoing, sex with an ex is never bad, and never wrong

Brains in Tanks would also be a good choice on those premises.

And whereyouthinkyougoing, sex with an ex is never bad, and never wrong
Cello players and torch singers all get passes.

Brains in Tanks would also be a good choice on those premises.
I'd still have to go with the professional clown with a Ph.D. in physics. Plus, he'd immediately set to work on his Adult Funhouse, complete with dangerous rides. Which I'm all about.

And whereyouthinkyougoing, sex with an ex is never bad, and never wrong Heh, I can follow on the "never bad" (unless it was bad to begin with, but then why would you be having it now) but "never wrong"? I'm not all too sure about that one...

Cello players and torch singers all get passes.
What about people who can dance like a robot in a fantastically ironic white-boy fashion?

Heh, I can follow on the "never bad" (unless it was bad to begin with, but then why would you be having it now) but "never wrong"? I'm not all too sure about that one...

Bah, depends on the current status of both, I think...

I can remember of one of my ex suddenly going all...sticky and cuddly when I invited him once to go out, starting to dance too close, and smelling my neck and things like that...As I knew he was in a relationship, I just told him that he was going to get what he wanted, after I got a signed permission by his current girlfriend that stated he was able to get laid with me, that cooled him down for a bit.

Surprisingly, he actually asked his girl about that permission!...Unluckily, she was no fool and rebuffed him.

All white boys who dance like robots do it ironicly. And just in case the torch singing cello playing tankmates find that cute, no dice.

No way, I take dance seriously, as the best vertical show of horizontal desires. Ridiculous or mocking dances get me a bit mad.

Is this going to be like the "new and improved Choose Wisely"? :confused:

Yay! I'm safe! :D

Balls.

Giant balls.

Giant brass balls.

Giant blue brass balls.

Ah, I'm bone. I honestly can't tell if what I'm watching is good dancing or if I should put a wallet in their mouth. And my graduate degree covered a fair deal of dance theory.

That was sooo funny!, indeed.

They got married, and that left me thinking if she was really "no fool" as I thought...

Fixed. I love you too, Ruffy. :)
You are such a dreamer.:p

wouldn't the last one be "Her Giant Brass Balls.":D
True, but after a request like that I don't think she's going to do anything pleasent with them for a while...

True, but after a request like that I don't think she's going to do anything pleasent with them for a while...
oh, I'd expect she'ld treat them like how others treat balls... kick em around, bounce em off the walls, and totally hide them from others. :D

Sweet, I'm in!
Hee. I'm sure you're not the only one recognizing themselves in that, either. ;)

You are such a dreamer.:p Yes, but a very hands-on one, as you can see. *nods*

Junii you have a TG

Dammit, I've been broken up with for far stupider things...so unfair...

Hee. I'm sure you're not the only one recognizing themselves in that, either. ;)

Yeah, but I'm like a slacker messaih (I even had a following at one point) or apostalate or something else I can't spell...

Believe me, we broke off for a far more stupider thing, also related with infidelity. It's fairly unfair, or she's fairly stupid.

I bet a fair amount of money that if I invite him out again he will try to get the same again. It's either she denies herself that, or she doesn't care and is with him for the money.

Replied.
me too

Yes, but a very hands-on one, as you can see. *nods*
Yeah and honestly having me in your dream/s oh for shame.:p

Yeah and honestly having me in your dream/s oh for shame.:pYeah, I know. Won't happen again. :p

Yeah, I know. Won't happen again. :p
But really i hope it does.;)

My NS thinktank list would have to be the 4 Horsemen(-I just made it up, but one is absent:( )
And a Female.

Or, what is good for the gander is good for the goose. Why do you assume she has a particular value set concerning fidelity?

Or, what is good for the gander is good for the goose. Why do you assume she has a particular value set concerning fidelity?

Oh, because I know her, she studied with me back at the university!

If she wouldn't had such value, then why she rebuffed him the permission?

because she wasn't invited to joi... nevermind. :p

because she wasn't invited to joi... nevermind. :p

Exactly. :cool:

Or

If you have an open arrangement, but one that is based on asking permission, then that procedure of asking has to have a possibility of refusal, otherwise it is not really asking, it is informing. She could have refused, because it was you, someone she knows and will have to potentially interact with in the future.

Back to the thread subject matter.

My wife (an ex NSer [Matriarchiveness] - so what does that count as? I am counting her as an NSer)
Me
Bottle - seems sensible and competent
Heikoku (Sorry Bottle, but you might end up having to learn Portuguese)

One of my friends from long ago who could do anything with electronics.

because she wasn't invited to joi... nevermind. :p

Ooooh, believe me, she could had been perfectly invited to join.

PERFECTLY

Ooooh, believe me, she could had been perfectly invited to join.

PERFECTLY
ahh... but was she invited...

he could've worded the request to make it sound like she wasn't...

Apparently I forgot: "Did I just answer my own questions?" :p
Did you just pwn yourself?
*finger inches closer to WYTYG's notorious link*

Balls.

Giant balls.

Giant brass balls.

Giant blue brass balls.
Hahahahaha!!
*FLORT*
Of course, Colbert would be beaming right about now.

I didn't read most of the other posts, so I don't know if anyone else pointed this out: 5 people would not be Nearly enough to continue the species past, say ten generations because of genetic defects from everone being related at that point. So, ....... whatev'!

http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=16881458&BRD=1817&PAG=461&dept_id=222087&rfi=6

I would bring myself, obviously.
Ny Nordland
Europa Maxima
Fass
FiddleBottoms
and Eutrusca (token geezer)
---------------------------------------------------------
Why? Because God help us when we wake up and figure out that we are the only ones left. (Should make for a good reality TV show):p

*Calls up MTV*

I'd have to pick one other guy and four women for a proper mix of genetic diversity and reproductive rate if we had any chance of repopulating the planet.

I'd probably just let people fight it out though, because I would feel bad choosing.

I'd pick:
Ladihollycrapmynameislongmerci
H N Fiddlebottoms VIII
Aerou
UpwardThrust

Kyle

Reasoning:
Lad is a cool person and is a girl, she can have babies. Also, she knows plenty about trees, which should be helpful. Also, does very well in school. Smartness is something I am looking for in all my people. Fiddles, if he is anything like his ego, will be able to put up fight against a moose or an alien or a catholic, should the need arise. He also is quite smart. Aerou, has met Fiddles in IRL (IIRC), meaning they should get allong. Which is good cause Aerou is also a doctor (nero-doctor, but its not like we will be able to repair bones etc with the tech we have). Most importantly, Aerou has synathesia, and the future of humanity,IMO, should be on a perpetual LSD trip. UpwardThrust big guy (very helpfull) and is quite smart. Kyle is a real life person. Very smart, but kinda annoying due to his ADD. I pretty good shape too. He would bequite useful, even though we would all love/hate him. I just need another girl for my last spot. Any NS girls looking to unload some money?

Willamena
Alien Born
Free Soviets
Peechland
and a really good Civil Engineer

I'd pick Demp, Free Soviets, Refused, Straughn & The Nazz.

Why? Because I suspect they'd have the best chance of survive being stuck with me on a permanent basis.

If Alexandre Despatie had an account, he'd be number one on my list.

*grumble* ...stupid alexandre...

Smunkee, so I can recreate ;)
Straughn, to hump :p
WYTYG, because I need someone to piss off :cool:

What EXACTLY would they bribe you with?

What EXACTLY would they bribe you with?

Booze.

Me, my girlfriend, and I'd determine the NSers by a series of mental, and phsyical tests. Of course, I would have two more males, and two more femals, ya know? We need a little diversity for the human race.

Booze.
That, or money, or glavin.:)

Otherwise.....
*stands lonely in a corner waiting to be picked*
Man this is like being last picked on sports teams all over again.:(

I'd choose Smunkee cos she'd be a great leader and got the most sensible head on her shoulders, plus her clowning would entertain me! St. Aesthetis 'cos she's frindly and sexy also (which helps) and anyone who bribes me.... no puppy killers please.:D

Oh, and Jessica Alba cos I'd like to do rude things with her! :cool:

Ooo.. Maybe FD cos he's a gun toting nutter and could shoot anyone who gets in my way!
*Mwahahahaha!!!*

I'd choose five girls, because if we're going to repopulate the world, it may as well be in my image. :)

I'd take my girlfriend, and if anyone others want to volunteer, put your hand up now. ;)
