Cannibal Poll 2 - who do you eat first?

[EyeMaster7]

The weight lifter. He can be very dangerous in close combat. I have a gun but if he gets too close he can grab it and I can be the next meal. The second one would be the cop. The millionare would not be a risk because he and his wife promissed a huge payment for my services. The next is the one who shows more signs of regret.

 

[Tannhauser]

What good is the money? All you have is the millionaire or the wife's word that they will share the money afterwards. How much can you trust them?

Interesting that no-one has chosen the teenager, the Engineer and Sailor I can understand, but the teenager seems rather useless.

Though, I would avoid eating anyone for as long as possible. Perhaps to the extent of cutting the legs of people (with the nurse, we should be able to keep the person alive), but I'd be more inclined to fish. Cut off a finger from someone, let them bleed some in the water, if a shark comes up, shoot it in the head.

It comes down to the fact that you couldn't be on your guard all the time. You would have to sleep sometime, and is there anyone you could really trust your life with as they guard you? Someone could get the gun, and then they would be in charge, they wouldn't have to be strong or talented to do it. People would start to become very nervous if you started killing other people. It's a situation better off avoiding.

 

[welsh]

Good points Kotario and that shows the strategic thinking that the question really asks for.

How can you trust the millionaire. Also if you keep him and he can't work the lot, don't you breed distrust from the others.

The weight lifter could overpower you while you sleep. As could the cop unless you are able to build an alliance. The teenager might be reckless, but teenagers, especially teenage girls, can often work longer hours under more difficult conditions than most people (which is one of the reasons most of the workers in Asian sweatshops are women).

And I think you are right. People will get nervous if you start killing people, especially if you don't consider alternatives. Using bait for shark might help also build loyalties with the others.

 

[Llama-God]

The millionaire, he provides nothing to the group and you can gain his fortune he promises from his wife.

 

[Bhurak]

I'd off the nurse. If this is a survival situation, and she has qualms about eating others, she should be the first to prevent further doubts in others. As well, with her out of the awy, this opens the doors to others dieing so you can eat more, since no medic means you don't necessarily get better. second choice would be te millionaire couple. useless.

[c0ldst33ltrs4u]

ok, this is how the cookie crumbles: the millionaire couple are most likely to be complaining and bithching 24/7. that will certainly result in a general negative attitude towards them. Now the trick is for you to make the rest of the crew at least agree that the millionaires are useless ballast, if not lynch them. If you are to lead the group you must be able to manipulate the group into doing what you want, without marring your image or damaging your authority. And if the millionaires are not enough then hick will have to go, pit the weightlifter against him. If the "sailor" I'll keep him, a man with some sailing experience could come in handy.

 

[welsh]

Of course you could use the sexy model as a negotiating tool. Who ever is on your side gets a little action.

 

[c0ldst33ltrs4u]

Hey, you are absolutely right: any group of people will need a prostitute, and every prostitute needs someone to look after her so you can call me P.I.M.P. It really is a good point, any means by witch you could win allegiances is good, and I mean any!

At least I know they are not going to eat me. They think I'm going to help them. So two less steaks to worry about. I think the people from that airplane that felt on the "Andes" in chile used the same terminology. Yeah, from the ALIVE movie.

The next on my list (I'm just tasting a well-done cop) is that hick from Montana. That is going to make everyone happy. You know it's strange. I think everyone here is just addicted. They are eating more and more and more. The cop is not going to last a long time.

Of course you could use the sexy model as a negotiating tool. Who ever is on your side gets a little action.

That's right Welsh, and what scares me is that 3 guys voted in the sex model to be the first victim. WTF. Dude, that chick is extremely important to this boat. She and the nurse are fundamental to our survival. They can work together and do... things...

BTW: Don't come with that excuse that women voted.

BTW2: How would you like your steak, sir?

 

[c0ldst33ltrs4u]

I'll take mine medium rare, and make it pig .
The fact that some of the guys voted for the women, especially for the model! Last night I was out on the town with some friends, and we payed a visit to a strip club; the pussy is a mighty weapon indeed! I mean how fucking twisted do you have to be to deprive yourself of some quality time from the start? I mean WHAT BETTER WAY to relive some "pressure" is there on that damn boat? And the trip could last for some time.... Plus there are other men aboard who could use some quality time! Killing the model would be both stupid and selfish!
The nurse could be kind of squeamish, but she'll get over it. And if there is a first aid kit on board (there should be one) she could help a lot.

 

[Kahgan]

the cop is probably the fatest, if not the rich man....but id eat the cop first...i can keep order my self....

then i'd eat the millionare

 

[[PCE]el_Prez]

weight lifter would be the worst when it comes to meat quality. I'd probably go with the millionaire cause he's worthless to your survival.

 

[Momochi Zabuza]

After a few days of not eating, you'd eat just about anything. Even a weight lifter. It seems like a silly time to be worrying about meat quality, no offense.

I would take him out just because he's the only one that could really have a chance at getting the gun away from me, and that is what I would really be caring about in a situation like this one. Its not like I would be leaving the bullets in the gun all the time, though. I figure, when I slept, Id have them down my pants. Then, either the ladies, a very desperate man, or a gay man would come get them from me. In the case of the ladies, I would keep them down there. The other two, Id pistol whip them a few times to make sure they didnt do it again.

Without the weight lifter, we still have 7 MEN to do rowing. Besides, you have to row in unison otherwise it doesn't work as well. If he's going faster than everyone else, it doesnt do any good.

The nurse would be vital to survival, and if she has moral scruples about cannibalism, then guess who doesnt get to eat?

After the weight lifter, I would take out the hick. He's useless and annoying. The only reason I take out the weight lifter first is that he has the strength to wrestle the gun away from me, and he's more likely to be gay and want to get down my pants for the bullets. Haha, just kidding.

I disagree, though, with your philosophy about people being edgy after you killing someone. First off, you're the leader automatically because you have the gun and the authority from being an officer on the ship. Resorting to cannibalism probably wouldnt happen for AT LEAST 3 days. Everyone would be starving. I doubt anyone would agree with the choice of WHO to kill, but, since I have the gun, too bad, eh? I bet that would make SOME people edgy, but I personally think that it would make more people scared. If you kill someone for the reason of them being strong (of course you wont reveal that, but, its what they will assume) then I doubt anyone is going to mess with you after that, unless you are leading them in a real bad way.

Hopefully the weight lifter is large enough to last for a while, he should be pretty bulky and meaty. After that, you have the hick. If you're really hungry, then you move on to the cop. He's the next closest thing you have to authority (which you need to be the only form of) and hopefully not one of those gung-ho cops that like to take control of situations. Otherwise, you take him out second. He would be the only one to tell the authorities of what happend, besides the nurse.

Though, I do beleive it depends on where it happens for you to get charged with it in America. You'd more likely be charged with murder than cannibalism, Im pretty sure that only some states have a law against specifically cannibalism, but I could be wrong. In a situation like this, I dont know how likely you would be to be charged with anything.

Just my thoughts!

 

[RAKTHEUNDEAD]

The millionaire and millionaire's wife. I'm a leftist. The only way I'd let him live is if 1: He promised to give up a hell of a lot of money (not to me, you must realise, to poor people) and 2: he was strong enough to row properly.

 

[Tannhauser]

Don't you think it's amazing how everyone in this thread seems confident in their ability to outfight people who exercise for a living or have professional training in unarmed combat? No matter how weak they might be from a variety of conditions or even in their sleep? There's a rather large difference between empty macho posturing and analytical thinking.

Seriously, there isn't a way to protect yourself. If people are rowing, they have oars, they could smash your head in as you sleep, see how much good an unloaded gun is then. No one would ever conspire against the guy who just killed one of them, even though they could overpower you quite easily in a group.

If I was in a similar situation (obviously not as the leader), my thinking would be to get rid of the gun. I don't care who's 'in charge,' I don't want to die. I would toss it overboard, which would be quite easy to do, there will be an opening. If there is someone who just killed someone, I'd seriously consider tossing him overboard. I'd rather take my chances with fishing than cannabilism. Soon as the first person has been killed, no one will trust anyone else, because who knows who will be next.

el_Prez]weight lifter would be the worst when it comes to meat quality.

Hey buddy, are you kidding??? You can eat a nice juicy rump steak from the weight lifter's ass.

If I was in a similar situation (obviously not as the leader), my thinking would be to get rid of the gun.

Really? In that situation the first thing you would do was to get rid of the only gun in the boat filled with starving cannibals? Sorry Kontario but I don't think you were going to do that. Anyway listen to Momochi Zabuza.

Maybe we could introduce some sort of game like the "shortest stick game". You make up a set of sticks and who gets the shortest stick is going to be eaten first. Of course since you have the gun you are not going to join the game.

I'm waiting for the "Cannibal Poll 3 - What's your Favourite Recipe"

 

[Momochi Zabuza]

Actually, Kotario, I have been in Ninjutsu for going on a year and a half now. I feel confident in my ability to beat someone in an unarmed combat situation. However, thats not what I was posting about. I was mostly posting ideas and guidelines for what someone should do, not exactly what I would do. To me, it doesnt matter how built the guy is, there are plenty of things that I know that I can do to bypass that in an unarmed combat situation.

Anyways, I suppose if they do decide to crack my head open with an oar while I am sleeping, there isnt much I can do. But if they do try to just take the gun from me, at least it wont be loaded, and if I awake from them taking it from me, all I have to do is beat the shit out of them and take it back. Then, load it. And that person is the next meal for everyone.

You did agree with my idea that after killing someone, no one would conspire against me. Which, I beleive to be true. Everyone would be running at a chance to be buddies with the guy who has the gun anyways, dont you think? I know I would if I didnt have the authority... I doubt there will be much trust between everyone anyways.

Thank you, Eyemaster.

Lol, Favorite Recipe. The famous serial killer, Albert Fish, once said that roasting human flesh was the best. And that the rump of a little girl or boy under 14 was the sweetest. But, then again, he was a psycho...

 

[Jebus]

Actually, Kotario, I have been in Ninjutsu for going on a year and a half now. I feel confident in my ability to beat someone in an unarmed combat situation.

Ehm... Isn't it Jiu-Jitsu?

Plus, I did Jiu-Jitsu for three years. And frankly, I'd still get my ass kicked.
You really only start learning the usefull stuff when you reach the brown belt, you know. I mean, those clamps (or whatever) may work fine on the tatami, but you'd get you ass whooped if you ever try that in the real world...

 

[Momochi Zabuza]

Jiu-Jitsu is a completely separate Martial Art. It's a very good Martial Art, I beleive, and my brother is new to taking it. Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling Martial Art. Which means that its a lot of grabs, throws, locks, and not a lot if at all any hard strikes.

Ninjutsu, what I take, is the Art of the Ninja (Or Art of the Steath, Way of Invisibilty). Im hoping you all know what a Ninja is. It's a very effective Martial Art, especially with the ancient-roots, modern update spin my teacher put into it. I may be only a year and a half in to it, but I have classes 4 times a week for two hours, then a 6 hour seminar on every other sunday. Also practice at home and with my two friends that attend with me and my teacher helps me out quite a bit outside of class. I may not be an advanced belt, but, I've always viewed belts as a very loose ranking system. In our style and system of teaching, it doesnt accurately represent the skill of the fighter.

I may not be able to beat someone belts above me or skilled in another Martial Art quite yet, but I would at least try if I had to. Especially if it was someone with no experience trying to fight me.

Good point, though, Jebus. Im not garunteeing a win or anything, Im just saying that I am confident. Without confidence, that just gives you more of a handicap.

Truly sorry that this is headed (and now completely) off-topic.

PS: Was it Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
