What Would You Do ?

<div class="IPBDescription">a question that will plague you forever</div> ok, you're trapped on a remote island where some species of tiny spider makes its home. The island is literally infested with these spiders and they appear to be the only edible thing around.

Your tools:
a pixie stick
a lucky penny
the clothes on your back
some keys on a keyring
a wallet full of normal wallet crap.

Your goal:
none really.


P.S. yes, I'm bored

    Step 1: use lucky penny to find most trainable spider
    Step 2: encourage spider (whether by gently picking it up or some other method) to bite/attack/eat another spider
    Step 3: give the winner of the fight some of the sugar of the pixie stick
    Step 4: repeat until you run out of pixie stick, at which point at least one should associate cannibalism with free food (of a type more energy-boosting than anything else on the island, I might add).
    Step 5: watch the results. by this point they shouldn't need the sugar--eating their fellow spiders should suffice to them as food.

    I would probably just eat the pixie stick then die a slow horrible death because spiders are my mortal enemy.

    I'd probably snort the pixie stick and then hang myself on the nearest tree.

    and exactly how do you accomplish that ?

    the story is what this thread is all about

    I'd pour the pixie stick powder in a pile in the ring of the keys and while they eat it I would hope on my Lucky Penny for them to succomb to my power.

    ... Spiders scare me to death.
    I'm 6"2..... ... ... And whenever I see one I have someone else kill it and flush it. *Shudders*

    Ooh... a risky tactic, but might work, (in a world where Newtonian Physics and logic don't apply).

    Spread the sugar of the pixie styx in a strange formation before the spiders. Then using your lucky penny and keys, strike them together with enough force that you can create a spark to ignite the sugar. Begin by setting chunks of your wallet aflame and wave it around in front of the arachnids to amaze them. Some may be stubborn, so if worse comes to worse, set your clothes on fire and run around. That should get there attention.

    By this point, you should be charred, naked, but worshipped by the spiders in awe of your fire powers. Order them to weave new clothes for you, then ask them to weave a gigantic sheet of elastic web, (NOT STICKY!), between two trees, in the direction of where you think land might be.

    Once they complete it, say your farewell to your tiny friends, then run as fast as you can towards the web sheet. Like a slingshot, it should shoot you out of the island and hopefully into the sea, where you'll drown.

    Hey, we didn't have a goal here, remember?

    Nice, maybe they could build a boat instead of a Slingshot.
  • Cereal_KillRCereal_KillR Join Date: 2002-10-31 Member: 1837Members
    Well easy I'm making a cell-phone out of all that, then I call MacGyver who's going to come and build me a boat out of my cell-phone and spiders.

    Or I'll ask my commander to build a phase gate here

    I think I'd prefer to drown right away, (if I'm lucky, I might just be killed from the impact of hitting the water) instead of seeing my web-based boat slowly biodegrade into nothing, AND THEN drown.

    For what?
  • Cereal_KillRCereal_KillR Join Date: 2002-10-31 Member: 1837Members
    hmm to use your slingshot forever
  • DunsbyDunsby Join Date: 2002-08-01 Member: 1042Awaiting Authorization
    Use your slingshot to fire the spiders off the island.


    Ok what you do is, shake the pixie stick and do a dance like a vodoo man, then get a spider and stab it, when its dead, use as a vodoo doll to kill all the spiders.

    Eat the spiders
    Then sprinkle the pixie stuff around and teleport somewhere.

    I'd melt the pixie stick in the sun, until I had some kind of sticky substance. The sticky substance would attract loads of flies, and they'd stick to it like fly paper. All the spiders will smell the flies and go to it, also getting stuck in the sticky substance. By the end of the day, I should have a 50 Kg mountain of insect bodies.

    I'd then get my lucky penny, and swallow it, helping me produce lots of digestive fluid in my stomach. Then using a key from my keyring as a spoon, I would proceed to eat the crunchy insect bodies. In that way, I would become the fattest guy in the world, while the gods watched and laughed at me.

    I would jump from a high cliff and die, because I hate spiders.

    I guess I would just have to start eating those spiders to keep myself alive.

    You never know how good they taste, do you?

    As a side note for some people:
    There are no cliffs where to jump, I think the Island would be pretty much flat.
    There are no trees to hang yourself.
    Only things edible are spiders.
  • eedioteediot Join Date: 2003-02-24 Member: 13903Members
    hm... stuck on a desert island with no foreseeable way of getting off it?

    /exit, then check a walkthrough, then load my last saved game.

    hmm get all the flies on the melted stick. With all those flies, they should be able to fly you to another human lifeform and thus save you

    in my original vision of the island.

    - It has some hills and stuff, but no cliffs.
    - There ARE trees.
    - It's not like a tropical island or anything, but it's not a desert either. It's sorta like a public park, but nobody is trimming the grass or anything.




    In response to my own question....
    I'd probably make separate little treasureboxes out of wood or something for my keys, pixie stick, lucky penny, and wallet.

    Then go around the island digging holes and making little mazes full of spider deathtraps in those holes. Each maze would have one of the treasureboxes at the end. Then I'd cover the maze-filled hole with a shrine of myself.

    That way the spiders can be all like WTH?!?!?! in a few hundred years if it's all still standing.

    I would attach the shiny penny to the inside of my wallet, and flash it at the spiders, who would then believe I am some sort of government agent because they are dumb. I would then inform them that anywhere i place my magicall "tracer powder" would be picked up by a governent satellite and killed to death. They would once again believe me because they are still dumb. I would them threaten them with the pixie stick, and if they didn't fall for it, I'd light them on fire with the keys, because the keys are magical.
  • tseepratseepra Join Date: 2002-12-11 Member: 10530Members
    I would do the obvious thin and make a radio out of wood, the pixie stick, penny, and sock. Then make a antenna out of the keys, and finally I would probably eat the wallet (I am afraid of spiders). Then call home and tell them to come and get me.
  • DreadDread Join Date: 2002-07-24 Member: 993Members
    Them, you said only thing would be spiders. If there are trees it's whole other situation, because you can now use the trees to build a raft or shelter or whatever.

    As I have no idea what a Pixie Stick actually is from the responses i'm going to assume its some sort of candy.

    I'd first of all leave it out in the sun for a bit till it gets nice and sticky and then use it to capture flies/weaker spiders, this delicacy would then be used to impress the other spiders, whilst I wished upon my lucky penny.

    Spiders thusly impressed would then make a bridge to land for me, I would then have an army of spiders at my beck and call and i would train them to conquer the world.

    In return they can have Wyoming.

    a pixie stick is basically a paper straw filled with 70% sugar and 30% flavoring like what they use in kool-aid and tang. All powder
