Litopia

[Wings]

I volunteer for chef duty.

 

[Disgustipated]

I'll do ethnic cleansing and genocide.

 

[RobDownSouth]

The island will have to have an enormously large closet....

Not really. 8x8 feet should be more than enough to hold both 4est_4est_Gump AND Que.

 

[Lancecastor]

There's a beachfront cove hidden between rocky brows over on the east side which was never included in the development plan.

I'm over there; I receive outside visitors by water and will, from time to time, attend various late night island community affairs.

As Gianbattista said recently, some of us thought we might respond to KS' Jeremiad by starting new threads and seeing if they sink or swim.

This is not remotely an original thread, since it was started by the late lamented Jelly before she left for a better place. I think it was on How To then and perhaps did not get the traction it deserved in that charming but somewhat bucolic location.

The idea is very simple. Laurel decides to use some of her well-gotten trillions on buying a private island for Litizens. The discussion more or less goes from there, but a few obvious questions to consider:

What island do we buy? ( I rather like this one.)
What do we bring with us?
Who wants to come?
Do we manage to maintain one island, or will we require an archipelago for the various factions?
How long before we develop a cargo cult/war with the Playgrounders/interesting new disease/etc?

From what I remember last time, it all got delightfully sordid quite early on with people fighting over 1HF and Garnate. That would be a bonus, naturally.

Ask for the former denizens of Lint how that trip to a remote island went.

Fluff gets very easily clogged up in Lint drawers, it's true. But it's nothing a vigorous clear-out can't help with.

We don't all have to live on the same island, misanthropes! It's fantasy. We can be an archipelago of Daniel Boones if we wish, peering at distant smoke through our coconut telescopes and harrumphing the indigo sunsets away.

Sounds a bit like the opening chapters to Lord of the Flies.

The parallel has been noted though, as Phelia said, I don't think it will take us that long.

I'm looking forward to discovering the dead Pilot, though. His SR71 may prove useful for fuelling and reconnaissance purposes.

It certainly wouldn't take me that long with Phelia around.

 

[Aglaopheme]

I say we take over this one, and keep only the staff. We'll have shelter, Michelin Star dining, a stocked wine cellar, a submarine for Phelia and more. No one specified a deserted or uninhabited island.

 

[removed9556]

 

[Aglaopheme]

Can we have our opening night here? I've wanted to go since it opened, it would be (relatively) close - and the first sentence of the introduction page is oddly intriguing:

'Feel the tingle of Dom on the tongue, six metres below the waterline.'

'Oddly' would not be my first word of choice. But, I think that is a must. We can take the submarine over.

 

[removed9556]

 

[Aglaopheme]

Or our new 'submersible yacht'?

Absolutely. So, we'll be needing one of these.

 

[Lorilei]

I'll bring the insect repellant. #NoZika

 

[Brollyanna]

May I be the resident Lib Loon, please? I promise to coordinate all PC issues with the island's judicial branch, Fermina.

 

[Hard_Rom]

Or our new 'submersible yacht'?

Why not just get a fleet of these. Paint them all yellow and cruise the world. All this tropical stuff would get boring after awhile. My snowshoes would look out of place hanging from a wall. Follow the seasons and festivals in a fleet of yellow submarines.

 

[PeteHulbert37]

What? We're all such fine people.

It's the "all" that I question. Many are lovely, yourself included.

Too late for that. Lady Lorilei previously requisitioned the plane.

Something to do with low-altitude high-speed "sausage recon" over clothing-optional Yossibeach.

 

[Comshaw]

I'll be happy as long as I can bring the dog and swim naked.

I guess eating would be important too.

Yes, I too would be happy if you swim naked.

Comshaw

 

[Comshaw]

naked gardening.

Hmmmmm....naked neci....*drool*......it looks like my voyeuristic tendencies are going to serve me well.

Fyp. Yw.

 

[jezzilee]

I love how that fucking machine looks like it's been built off of a weedeater. You'll need gas and oil for that two-stroke motor then. In that case, Sybians may be better, because they have low HP electric motors on them that will easily run on solar power.

Just my two cents...

Looks more like a boat motor to me!

Well, we WILL be accused of propelling the liberal agenda on Litopia - I'll end up being the Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the island.

And for all the discussion of the Sybian and its replacements, I am quite content with going the good old fashion form of sexual gratification - manually.

I'm handy!

I'd sign up but for all the Douchebags. Bleh! My brain hurts just thinking about it.
