Well aware this is not the proper forum for this, but if Im going to type this out and expect serious answers and participation I rather be in control of this thread, but if it gets moved then oh well I have no control over that. I rather just monitor this thread myself if thats okay you higher mods. So Im sitting there in Government not paying attention to my liberal teacher screaming about some bullshit about how we need more taxes, yeah hes a little fucked up. Anyways I was sitting in government and a thought came into my head and I started a "daydream" What if everyone from GC was on a plane and crash landed about a mile from a deserted island? ( lecahers not included actual members) No communication, no food, nothing but what you have with you already, and none of that I just carried my tv and my iphone with me, no smart ass walk-arounds. Lets get into more detail here. Everyone is on a huge plane flying from A to B, our plane crashes in the ocean... somewhere. We all swim to shore( assume we all can swim ) This really isnt the important part. But we get on the island. Nothing but clothes. No electronics... nothing of that sort. Dont say swim out to the plane none of that, just forget about that theory its too deep and sharks are everywhere.... Like i said before no smartass walk-arounds just stick with me. Just GC on an island.... Just to make this a little easier lets assume the island is somewhere tropical... So no radical weather changes.. it stays at about 80 year round, and no poisonous creatures, no snakes none of the little bugs that kill you, no spiders... its a magical island. Where all on the beach... Now what? The way I see it is, a lot of people will freak out. Since this would be way out of their comfort zone and they will lose their minds. Soon enough a leader will emerge and I know for a fact the weak people will stick to the strong people, physically strong. People need order and some sort of government in their life to keep them going. Its only logical that a weaker person will stick with someone much faster, stronger, and capable to survive in the wild. Someone that has extensive training in survival/hunting. The way I see it is at first thing that will need to be done is to organize the group, get them together to keep them from going insane, running off. Figure out who has what skills and abilities, who is strong, who is not. Assign tasks to groups of people to perform certain things. Gather wood, scout the island, find food. The way I personally would do this is, find others that are like me, strong physically, and mentally, and form a group. Its only a matter of time before chaos breaks out and people start to slack off and do whatever the fuck they wish. I would take the group of volunteers with me and break off from the majority. Reason I am certain in my own survival is Im in perferct physical condition, that is one thing I will never doubt. My father and my future father-in-law are both rangers lol go figure. I was raised and trained by military families and went to their boot camps for 3 summers. Im pretty confident that I would be able to survive with a handful of other loyal members. Anywho... first thing I would do with my group(I know for a fact atleast 1 person would come with me, my cousin hes registered on here) is create weapons, get a sharp rock, create spears, build a shelter. Get fruit eat, find a fresh water source, scout the island, adapt to the surroundings. By this time a few months would of passes and more people would be getting sick of the majority group as anarchy would corrupt the place to hell, more people would be interested in joining me and my fellas, as we are the physically stronger ones and more capable or survival. Some wouldnt be accepted, some would. Over time most of you would start killing each other as you turn to total savages, so of course my group and I would prepare ourselves for this. Basically this group would be run entirely on military principle. Overtime the group could build some sort of tree city or w/e get archers train etc.. This is just how I THINK it would play out, some of the things ive said WOULD happen if we really did get stranded. There are certain things humans do when shit like this happens to them, ultimately they end up savages without government. But the point of this is like.. to play along with it... is this called role playing? or something.. if so yeah this is my first time.. But be honest with yourself... There is no need to say you can do some tings that you really cant... its obviously a gaming forum so yeah... lets just see how this goes? we land on an island, i make an announcement to see if anyone wants to join my group, i can provide security against others and survival skills.

No one has any other ideas or contributions? This was suppost to make you think a little, lol

Its not as easy as it seems... Ive done construction last summer and Im going to oregon to do Roofing this summer... there is many factors you gotta consider.. I honestly think about 20% of gc members would die..

Bounder said he'd be with me [10 minutes ago] Major General HG-Bounder-X: PS. I'd probably follow you ohmy.gif I'd be a scouter laugh.gif :) The hardest part in this would be adjusting.. Some people probably couldnt adapt... If worst came down to worst I would eat worms, you can live off worms, good protein, something you learn from the airborne. Some people just couldnt do that...

So yeah Im leaving for Oregon in a month to do some work and Ill come back around September with a ton of money. I currently use a laptop from like 2003 so its kinda old but it lets my play what I want to play :P wc3, brood war, crossfire, and d2. Basically I want a desktop like i had previously. Price cannot exceed 1,000$. dont include tax :) so post the link, from company and such. Also none of that ill buy this video card and put it in this part... I have 0 interest in building computers, I rather do a ls1 swap on a e36 ( see how confusing it is when i talk about cars lol, thats how i feel with your computer language, so break it down)

Unless he can contribute about 600 dollars it wont matter. Anything under that is small change for a heavy restoration would could take up to 2.5 years. I never said I was against american muscle, i think its the best approach to a fast car, but not a daily driver. If I was to run some 10s I can get a 5.0, or a ls1 with some headers and an exhaust lol already low tens and switch it to auto you can comfortably run yourself some high 9 seconds on the strip. But thats not whats being discussed, most of you cant read the whole thread you just post. If I buy the e36 i will not resell it, it will be my daily driver. MY ONLY CAR SO I CANNOT SIT THERE AND RESTORE A CHEVELLE FOR 2 YEARS AND TAKE THE BUS. I also never said the e36 was my final option haha, it was a thought. It all depends on how much I can make in 3 months, if I make over 20k Im getting myself a 03 cobra for a pretty nice deal.

So I've been curious, more than ever now. Ive always wondered What If... or Will I bite off more than I can chew? Anywho I've been looking around craigslist and ebay just waiting for a good buy for 8 months now, and the time is now. Someone is selling their 71 Chevelle SS for 7 grand, 1.4 miles away from my house. Garage kept, original owner. Although like I said I'm pretty scared to make the move... I haven't seen the car yet so I cant judge based off the body pictures. If its too bad I'm not going to go for it, I'm not looking for a frame, body restore, since Im going for a LS1 swap( possibly ) definitely new paint. With that swap a new transmission will be needed and uhg... My wants are too great, I don't think I can pull this off.... Suggestions? anyone have any experience with this?

For 3 years now I've been working out, and now its an obsession. I work out 2-3 hours a day, even during class I have this little handle i squeeze to work on my forearms. I love it, but I feel as if I hit a brick wall. No matter how hard I work out I cant seem to breach 230 on Bench 340 on squat and dead lift. I mean, hell, Im a small guy I weigh 145(still) and Im about 5'8. Im not sure if I can physically get stronger without taking protein. Yes I did not take any protein in this 3 year course so Im pretty proud of that, I can run 3 miles under 21 mins still :P so yeah I feel like hurcules. I've been looking for a very very fast pased MMA gym locally but cant seem to find one, all they offer is karate. Im not into pussy shit, I didn't work out for 3 years to be put into screaming and kicking for 4 years before I can hit someone. Im also thinking about going into competitions, Weighing at about 145 I doubt there is many guys in my class that can put out what I can. Heh, I.. just don't give up.. but I'm not going to seem like a dick and just talk about myself. Anyone else in here lift weights? work out? Compete? Wrestle? Fight?

i didnt get a fansy thread for my bday but i wasnt even active back then haha :P happyb irthday nig

Please donate me the money I need to restore a chevelle for a daily driver... thought so, now shut up. I guess your still living in the 70s. www.horsepowerfreaks.com

I dont want it to look ugly either, I dont care much about the performance as long as I get to play sc2 and d3.. or wc3. I mostly just post and read up on my car forums thats about it lmao

I had my hands on cars since I was 13 working with my dad in shops. Please shut up before you try to give me advice on cars. If you read the thread, which you should before posting it says that I will not be selling this car. Later on I will turn it into a track car. Hearing you say german crap makes me laugh because you obviously have no idea, of how good m3's are. Do you even know the power of a ls1 in a shell of an m3? Not even ferraris could corner better then the 99 m3 at the time. Dont make yourself look stupid. and you obviously dont know a thing about chevelles, they will not make good daily drivers, i dont have the money to buy 2 cars.

I already got those lol im just getting as much as i can

yesssiiir please upload the maps

fucking sweet thank you sir :D

ehhh ill probably buy an alienware they look fucking sick
