It depends on the opportunity that presents itself. If he is busy fighting, he won’t be eating, but I can still stick him with a blow dart.
Why not just wait until Bryan has killed all the others first then use the tasty, but poisonous fish to off him? Or whoever was last standing.
If you come into the middle of the fight with a weapon, of sorts, they’ll all just gang up on you.
Also, for this advice, I suggest you spare me.
I suspect that nobody is going to want eat anyone covered in bees . . . or start a fistfight with one, for that matter. You’d do well in this scenario.
Well who said it was specifically for Bryan? It would be for the winner.
I’d probably secretly setup my own Utopia on the other side of the island of people who are just down with having orgies all the time. When the winner comes looking for us we’ll rush him and stick him with a dozen blowfish darts.
Unless the winner is Covered_In_Bees!.
**Covered_In_Bees! ** : “GO FORTH MY MINIONS !”

'Bout time this “entourage” of mine starts making itself useful!
Well I hope that I can woo ‘Covered_In_Bees’ to my side otherwise all is lost for civilization in microcosm.
A person can’t stay awake forever. At some point even the biggest badass has to trust other people.
True. And that will be when he goes down.
The problem is (or would be) that your “Utopia” would probably consist of, at best, one female.
I spent a couple of years in Iraq over off and on over the period of 2003-2006. The Baghdad of 2003 was very different from the Baghdad of 2006, societal controls had been removed and every day was little worse and a little chaotic than the day before. Often, there would be an incident such as a bombing of one denomination’s mosque that would justify a reaction by the other side. In 2003, there was a lot of random crime and some bombings. When I left in 2006, there were almost daily bombings of population centers and roving bands of teenage Shii’a militias executing people in the street with power drills. You have no idea what kind of determination it takes to kill an old woman with a power drill, this isn’t just pushing a button or pulling a trigger.
In my experience as a foreign aid worker who specializes in confict and post-conflict societies, any culture will eventually devolve into absolute chaos and barbarism given enough time. Some cultures will hold out longer than others, but ultimately I believe any of us could find ourselves on either end of a drill bit.
Yeah, the usual Dope hive-mind wins out again. :rolleyes:
Oh, I dunno - this guy picked a fight with a man who was on fire at the time.
Yeah, but bees have range and onboard seeking capability.
Wait - does this apply to any culture? Even ones with governments and stuff? I mean, there are some countries that have been chugging along in relative non-anarchy for hundreds or thousands of years. If they’re devolving into absolute chaos and barbarism, they’re not only taking their sweet time about it, but going about it in a rather roundabout way.
And as for Doper Island, it depends on which forum the people are taken from. The MPSIMS mob might last a while, but the Pit people wouldn’t last a week. And the GD group wouldn’t last a day.
Hey, nobody said anything about there being Glaswegians on the Dope cannibal resort ! I want out, these guys are *nutters *!
ROFL
We’re Dopers. We’d be feeding on each other before the first morning was over, like packs of raptors
Well…some of us would be the raptor pack, and some of us would be thresh. I know which group I’d rather be in.

My point is that any culture that has societal constraints removed will devolve into barbarism. The US invasion removed the government of Iraq and didn’t replace it with a viable alternative and it became barbaric and chaotic. I firmly believe that this would be the case for any culture once societal contstraints are removed. If a foreign power toppled the US government, removed its leadership, disbanded its military and prevented the reconstitution of those entities, I believe you would see violence on the same scale as what we saw in Iraq in 2006.
