Cannibal Poll 2 - who do you eat first?

[welsh]

OK, Cannibal Poll 2-

This is based on the film Abandon Ship and the actual Essex incident. In Abandon Ship a group of people are on a overcrowded life boat after their ship hits a mine. The person in charge of the boat has to throw some of the people into the sea where they will certainly drawn. He must choose who goes over the side and who stays.

The story of the Essex involves a group of whalers who get marooned in the open ocean thousands of miles from land when the whale they are hunting gets pissed and sinks their ship. On the way back, they have to eat each other to stay alive.

SO here is the story.

You are the highest ranking officer on a lifeboat, a thousand miles from land and with little chance of rescue. On this lifeboat you have a number of passengers. YOu also have a gun with six bullets.

You know that you will have to consume someone for food if you are to survive. You also know people will get sick, that there will be storms, that there are many dangers ahead.

Who gets eaten first? And in what order would you eat them?

 

[Big T]

Hmm....Whoever's the fattest. Likely to be the least useful, and will provide the most food.

 

[Murdoch]

Definitely the art historian. Anyone who went to school for something as worthless as art history deserves to become dinner.

 

[welsh]

And then who would you have to eat. AN Art historial would probably be pretty stringy and not be much sustenance. Remember it's 1000 miles of rowing.

It's possible that the art historian could be easily intimidated.

 

[Elissar]

The millionare.... hell as long as I've got the gun I can have the millionare's wife, his money and the Model... Not to mention it would be fun to eat some fatass millionare... Always wanted to kill one.... for having more money than i will ever see and flaunting it in my face.

Not that any of this matters, when you got to shore, you would be prosecuted for murder. I read iin a (pre-)law course that given this scenario, or one like the Donner Party, etc, the person in charge would be held liable even if it was done in order to survive, because as the leader you are supposed to watch out for the welfare of everyone, even at the expense of everyone.

But I'd eat the hick, then teenager, followed by the cop. By then you're probably within sight of land.

 

[Montez]

Art Historian. The most useless of the bunch, and there's nothing I hate more than art academics (at least, the ones who drone on and on about paintings that consist of a yellow stripe or a drizzle of paint). Sure he's stringy, but everyone is only going to get skinnier so you might as well eat him while there's still something there to eat. After that the hick from Montana, since he's probably useless for sea survival because there's no ocean in Montana. I guess the sailor would be next - nobody likes a rich prick, his yacht sailing skills are useless in a rowboat, and since I'm a ship officer I assume I can navigate just as well as him.

Realistically though I'd probably off whichever one of them looked at me like they were sizing me up first. Kill them and the rest will think twice about you making you the next meal.

 

[Malky]

The art historian would have to go first.

Followed by the millionaire and his wife, then the hick.

Hopefully we'd be rescued by then!

After going through something like that, you form certain bonds. I doubt anyone would want to even talk about it with the authorities, because everyone has blood on their hands. Those that seem like they'd talk would have to die, or be intimidated to the point where they don't want to speak of it.

 

[welsh]

Perhaps I have to remove the art historian from the poll.

 

[Carib FMJ]

I'd eat them all....('') The Hick, the Art Historian, the Millionaires (promises mean shit to me), Security, since he'd probably try to take me down... And the fucking nurse and Model...

 

[Big T]

I'd eat them all....

Then how'd you get back to shore?
You've got to keep some alive to do your evil bidding... I mean, er, row the boat.

 

[Daemon Spawn]

Too bad there are only six bullets. Then you could have only you and the art historian surviving....heheh intimidation to the max.

 

[WaterGirl]

I would sacrifice myself. Sure I'm small and wouldn't offer much as far as a meal goes, but I don't think I could handle anytbody else dying to save me. Also, because I'm small, I wouldn't be able to offer much in the way of rowing either.

 

[Gus]

I'd go for the guy from Montana. What good are his survival skills on a boat?
Mountain climbers are unusually energetic persons, this combined with a high level of annoyance amongst the others will make them kill him anyways.

 

[Karkow]

This is a little bit stereotyping, isn’t it?

I study art, well, particularly Communication Design, but still I’m highly interested in arts history, and yet I’m 6.1 feet and weight 176 lb. Oh, and I practice martial arts! Come and try to eat me!!

Anyway, I would probably eat the one that did the less for the group and annoyed the most. Sacrificing myself is an idea, but still... I don’t know how moral acts in you when stranded in the middle of the sea.

 

[Murdoch]

I'd eat them all.... And the fucking nurse and Model...

I'd just eat out the nurse and model.

 

[Gus]

That's not a moral act.. That's just being stupid.

 

[Jebus]

Sure I'm small and wouldn't offer much as far as a meal goes, but I don't think I could handle anytbody else dying to save me.

You're a dish.


Ohohoh I am so smooth

 

[welsh]

Ok, objection noted I am removing the art historian from the poll.

 

[Carib FMJ]

Still it would make little difference. I'd probably eat the Cop, and make the others live, if they do my bidding. The Hick will go as well... and If I am feeling extra mean, the pricy nurse too... I am soooo... evil
