Deadmeat_X Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Am I the only one that's seeing how unrealistic this is? The wave starts a couple of miles from the island. Let's say 10 kilometers. The wave moves, quote, with "enormeous speed". Let's say 300 km/h, that what I call pretty big speed. Than some maths: In one minute, the wave has gone for 5 kilometers. That eans that we got around 2 minutes left before everything is destroyed. And we're supposed to do what? Tie ourselves to the volcano? I think Al's plan takes at least 5 minutes. Mine could be done in around 1, but you'll probably call it unrealistic. Bah. You're to say. But OK, a realstic approch... Quckly, I grab my bungee rope, and run up the volcano. When I'm at the crater, I tie the rope to a rock, and to my feet, and jump. Goodbye cruel world...when I stop bouncing up and down, I grab a rock on the inside of the crater. It is pretty hot, but I can manage. The wave hits the island, everything is swept away, I'm still in the crater. When the crater starts filling with water, I climb up using my rope, till I'm out of danger... OK that's it. Or does anyone want to hear my unrealistic, but way more creative solution?

Joshi Posted January 28, 2003 Author Share Posted January 28, 2003 ah, we alsways award marks for creativity, post the other one adn i'll choose which one i like. and yes, this would take very little time to reach the island, this is why it's the last round, it's got to be hard. Al's might work if he did it fast. remember, his knife is probably really sharp and we don't know how far up the mountain he is anyway. Just in case you were too lazy to look at the cool picture i did especially for this (well, not really, it's actually for my fan novel on worldofmi, currently containing the first chapter, go read now) here it is.

Al-back from the BigWhoop Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 yeah, i ll try to go fast, and i dont need to go very high up the volcano, just enought to b protected (as much as possible) by it. bsides, the upper part of the volcano is probably still incandescent. and while the wave hits the island, i ll wont b able to breath, but when the water starts lowering, i ll breath through the bamboo while untieing myseflf. then i ll have to go to my doctor and then i ll have to find the bastard taht is doing this to me with a voodoo doll. if im lucky, my doctor is the bastard, then i ll b hitting 2 birds with one shot.

Deadmeat_X Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 ***PLEASE NOTE: THE NEXT STORY IS COMPLETELY RIDICOOLOUS OR HOWEVER YOU SPELL IT. REALISM? NOT AT ALL. SOME MAY CALL THIS CHEATING, I CALL IT BEING ORIGINAL. OFTEN, THAT'S ONE AND THE SAME. BTW: THIS STORY IS BASED ON ANOTHER CALCULATION, WHERE WE HAVE 30 SECONDS INSTEAD OF 2 MINUTES*** They've gone too far. It was fun at first, playing with that big cat, hiding from the rain. But this, this isn't funny anymore. In 30 seconds, this island will be gone. And what are we supposed to do? Take cover on the vulcano? The tsunami will hit us before we even reached the top. We're screwed. I see Al running up the vulcano anyway. He wont make it. 1 second already passed. 29 left till impact. And I'm still on the beach. Amazing I got this far really, if you look at it. I was nearly killed by the jaguar, went for a very lame solution when the monsoon came, let Al do all the work with the vulcano...I suck... Another second passed. 28 left. And I'm still on the beach. Desperatly, I try to remember everything that has happened so far. There has got to be something everyone overlooked, and that might save me.... ...it hits me like a coconut falling from a tree...the monsoon-man! He came from and disappeared to nowhere. But nowhere doesn't exist, and none of us saw a boat/chopper/plane leave, so he's still on the island! And probably in a really safe place as well! Alright, only 27 secs left. I start running over the beach. Within 10 seconds, I find the spot where the mysterious man had gone into the forest. I follow the path, meanwhile looking out for anything suspicious. I find it 100 meters from the beach. It's a button. A button, on a tree. I almost ran past it, since it's hard to see. What to do when you see a mysterious button: 1. Don't think, press. A trapdoor opens under my feet after I press the button. I start f a l l i n g . . . ...and land on a bunch of pillows, that break my fall (and not my bones). I look around. I'm in a small cave. Light is coming from a couple of lightbulbs. The cave is empty, apart from a console in one corner. On the console there are a couple of videoscreens, showing variuos locations on the island. On one of them, I see Al, running up the mountain. while i'm looking, the images are replaced by statics as the camera's are swept away by the killer wave. The loudspeakers, connected to microphones on the island, make an awful noise, before they're swept away as well. The ground is shaking. The island is no more... Beneath the videoscreen the videoscreen, I see a couple of buttons. They're labeled "Jaguar", "Monsoon", "Vulcano"...the button labeled "Tsunami" looks recently pressed. But what really draws my attention is the man behind the console. It's him. The monsoon-man. He wears a grey suit, has got brown hair, an everyday face, glasses. When he starts talking, he sound pretty nervous. "So mister Meat, we meet at last. I must say I'm impressed. You passed with flying colours." "Passed??? What do you mean?" "Don't act like you don't know mister Meat. This was all a test to find the right man" "WHAT!!! You killed those people just for a test? And whaddya mean the right man?" "The right man is you. And you're gonna work for us" "No way!" "Yes way. Either that or..." "Or what?" "Or I can give you a fight you cannot win..." *A green portal opens. Through it see an alien world* "Well mister Meat? What will it be?" "Hold on a sec. you ripped this completely from the ending of Half-Life, didn't you?" *The man starts crying. The portal closes* "Yes, it's true! I can't be original! I'm such a loser! I wanted to do something like this all mylife, but I couldn't come up with a good reason...until I played that game!" "You're sick" "I know. But you're not really to speak, right?" "What? Why?" "You're not the sanest one yourself" "What are you saying?" "Oh don't act like you don't know. You made this all up. It's all your imagination. I'm your imagination as well. That makes you the sicko!" My world collapses. He's right. This is all just a dream. The cave and the man fade away as I wake up from this nightmare... ...Awake. Finally. I take a look around. I'm lying in the...sand? Around my are...others...lying...dead...or sleeping....? I hear the sea...remember...last night...the storm...boat...sinking... I jump up. Right in front of me is a vulcano. To the left, I see some rocks hanging out over the sea. The jungle is lying before me... ..start to scream.... "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..." The camera zooms out. From the sky you can clearly see the round shape of the island. Everything is calm...for now... "...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" THE END ***copyright by Deadmeat*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 Deadmeat, you can't... ...copywright something you so obviously stole from so many different movies and games. i'd have to say that the clear winner here is Deadmeat simply because he made me laugh. Al dies because someone had to (even though his plan was basically flawless, a jaguar came along just before the wave hit and ripped him to shreds because the man pushed the wrong button when crying to Deadmeat about his falsehood) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
