You may have to use your imagination with this one so bear with me...

You try to get comfortable in your plane seat. The 1st Annual Kendo World Forum Good-will Taikai is over and you are on the plane with all the other regular forum-ites, laughing, joking and generally relaxing as you fly towards the next stop where everyone will go their seperate ways and pick up their connecting flights home.

BANG!

Something explodes at the back of the plane and all hell breaks loose. As the plane spirals out of control, a loose piece of luggage smacks you on the head and you lose consciousness.

You wake up in your plane seat. By some fluke, the plane hit the water at a shallow angle and practically surfed on to the beach of the deserted island you now find yourself on. It appears the pilots are dead and the radio equipment is ruined. On the plus side, you can see that all your fellow KWF-ers survived. They are disorganised, panicking and in need of direction. Being the natural leader you are, you take charge and start to organise your 'troops'. Their survival depends on you.

What jobs need doing to enable you to survive until rescue and which forum regular do you get to do the job?

First things first:
Find the nearest stand of bamboo to construct our own shinais to stave off the polar bear attacks.

[illerlytoindy]

Hoard all the alcohol from the plane and make a fortune selling it to desperate kenshis.
Use some of the money to hire bamboo-wielders to fight off polar bears trying to steal your stash.

until rescue

if this really did happen, i think that's it for me. I would just live and settle on the island. but my first thought is to check the cargo to see if any of the shinai made it. hahahahaha. a deserted island full of people who do kendo, come on!!!

What jobs need doing to enable you to survive....which forum regular do you get to do the job?

hard to say in reality, but for the fun of it. We'll need some forumites here to cook, which i really can't say who i'd dicatate for the job. I guess pretty much anyone besides that guy who likes "pie" so much. We'll need a shelter, to which i'd say get the engineers to do it. Seeing as how we have quite a few of those on here, and the rest will just be uninhibited, unapologetic party!!!! oh wait, this isn't that kinda scenario.

p.s. you get points for originality Mukujin!!! ,

[omaculer]

Someone would have to organize the women's team so, being the most experienced in such matters, I would accept the challenge.

[evammaUselp]

First things first, I'd kill Gibbo, then I'd sit back and count the rep points.

[Broker15015]

Well obviously I'd become Island Queen and have you guys all build me a castle from palmtrees And then I'd organize Shiais for my own amusement... mwuahaha... don't forget my coconut milk baths and extensive massages I'd get by the KW hotties ... lol

[E4qC1qQ5]

You called?

[CedssypeEdids]

First things first, I'd kill Gibbo, then I'd sit back and count the rep points.

You could do, but you would have to not be the only casualty in the wreck. I reckon you could be a casualty in a plane crash that happened in a different country...

[adultcheee]

I'd say, sod the shinai, I'm gonna hoard the shinken and iaito in the wreckage. If Lord of the Flies stuff happens... come get me bamboo boys, I won't be aiming for the specified kendo targets either.... Bwahahaaaaa!

I'd also but Gibbo in charge of the bbq-ing of slaughtered polar bears, and Kenzan in charge of the cave paintings that will be there to leave a lasting impression of our kendo based society for future archaeologists to be really shocked and confused about when they find them.

[Terinalo]

I'd make Neil the Chief Justice.

[fotochicaes]

All this mayhem, you'll need a doctor. First piece of advice, dig some holes in the sand. You're going to need to bury the pilots and bad sanitation will kill all of you before you get enough coconuts to make a milk bath.

[trubreTab]

Lets build a raft with all the shinais. That'll save us time chopping down coconut trees.

Hakama is also good as sails.

We can actually have Noah's Ark!

But only a pair of kenshi can go on board.

So in the end we have to do a straight-KO taikai: a division for men and a division for ladies...

[GrolmangHat27]

The men division is mine: I kill you from behind with my shurikens.
Owned by Ninjutsu!
Then I left with the champion of the Ladies division and show some mercy by letting the god squad praying for rescue.

[boXGWf04]

I think the male shimpan for the female division might not be entirely neutral.

[sesIgnose]

This is very Bullshido isn't it....

Wait a minute...we have established that it's an island, with palm trees and we have recreational supplies.

Why are we leaving, exactly?

Nobody said we had to. We could establish the first Kendo Republic in history with the government building containing a large dojo.

[Teeppoodiug]

I'd stand on the sidelines pointing out how much all of you would resemble Gilligan's Island refugees, and whilst you all are doubled over from the cramps of having eaten the weaker forum members, and exhausted from attempting to distill alcohol from coconut juice, I'd draw a huge smiley in the sand, () which, naturally would be seen from space, and of course would facilitate our expedited rescue by benevolent aliens.

[Dwemadayday]

I broke a leg in the crash landing, so I guess I'll have to be the island's stud


Weeeeeeee!!!!

The men division is mine: I kill you from behind with ...

Note to self: never get into a plane with Sparv...
