/lit/ - Literature

First and foremost, carpet bomb /new/ /k/ /b/ and /r9k/ into oblivion. After that, im sure we can all live peacefully together.

The larger part of the island will make room for the many Anon's while the tripfags are forced to locate themselves in isolation on the few offset islands - seeing as I'd be one of those tripfags (though I'm unsure how Anon would feel about me visiting the mainland,) I would make sure that I had a good amount of literature to bring to the table.

Our island would be primarily comprised of a mash of pseudo-intellectualism (most would eventually just be put to death or something) and brimming with hopefully the most innately civilized of 4channers. We would build a society based on a shared love of knowledge from previously written books and use them to an extent to help shape/learn the tools of trade to build up a great society.

I'd also hope we'd all be Beta people so as nobody would exactly find it smart to try and take the lead - we would be a well balanced little commune.

Though...I hope some Anon would be so kind to remove the Raptors on the outlands for a tripfag.

We'd protect you, /tg/ here. Currently having a moral debate on our stance on slavers. We wouldn't tolerate our own slaving, but we aren't sure if we would kill on sight yet. I'm pro slver killing.

A shotgun, my books, my money, some clothes, a bit of food, and condoms.

Getting mad bitches will be easy when you're competing with a bunch of neckbeards.

Anyone wanna write-fag for this?

Woah, check out /sp/'s tiny island. They would go apeshit.

Also the /lit/ society seems like it could function pretty well in theory, but it would probably end up like some Lord of the Flies shit or something.

>>1982402

/k/ is talking conquest. /tg/ is talking hedgemony. A few are talking slavery.

>/a/, /jp/, and /w/ are all shaped like japan
>loling uncontrollably

They can't steal /ck/ - it's always been neutral territory. Even /b/ wouldn't stand for that, and they are legion, apparently.

and how come /k/ get to own /toy/? Are they like 12 or something?

/lit/ would be annexed by a more alpha board within days

>>1983433
I would want to belong to a board that WOULDN'T make us write porn.

Also, the last few badasses on /b/ would team up with /k/ and kill all the teens in /b/ in return for a concession of land.

kill slavers on sight, fo sho. And stop any board from controlling other boards. Shit ain't right, yo.

>>1983448
/b/ has internet badasses, not actual badasses. That whole area of /b/ would be a lawless hellhole. I wouldn't go in there without an armed escort.

If /k/ were smart, they'd team up with /fit/ and round up all the weeaboo girls for themselves.

Personally, I'd be trying to get to /sci/ so I can get off this crazy shithole.

>>1982402

>>1983463
>>1983463

> mfw some board will act like Romans and steal all of our stuff one day

>>1983470
For some reason I immediately thought of /mu/.

i would bring some books, i think i could carry all of 'a song of ice and fire' and 'wheel of time'. and since they are both unfinished, we can write the ending( and no GRRM to bitch about fanfiction!) (eventually, surely we could beat GRRM...). dont own any other incomplete series, sorry /lit/. also some clothes i guess...

Well as a fa/tg/uy i guess its time to build a castle and white knight the island.

Ok, so, e/lit/ists being the wisest of anons, we'll use our knowledge of debate and rhetoric to forge an a large alliance with other boards.
For starters, we'll appease /co/ by saying that yes, graphic novels are literature that combines artwork.
/mu/ we'll explain that we are both a community of artists, we have a rich and vibrant history of interrelation and should be natural allies. Yes, lyrics are poetry, fine.
From there, we'll recruit /sci/, explaining to them that it's obvious we as the collected intelligentsia of 4chan should be the leaders in the culture. No, we're not going to argue about the existence of God for right now, save the anger for when the /b/tards come trolling with whatever fucked up idol/fetishes they decide to superstitiously turn into deities.
We turn to /tg/ next, and offer them new D&D, Warhammer 40k, and DragonLance novels or game-plots written by our fantasy and scifi fags.
We'll recruit /tv/ with promises of underage girls. Later on, when it's clear the underage girls was simply a ruse, we slaughter them. Anyone who actually gives a shit about film can join our glorious cultural awakening. Hopefully they will not be slaughtered with the pedophiles, we'll figure out how to sort them out with code words like "Rosebud."
After that, we'll convince /fit/, /k/, and /sp/ that we can augment their own forces with our combined numbers and array of knowledge and skills. /sci. can help /k/ to build and design weapons, /lit/ can be referees and judges of /fit/ and /sp/'s events.
/lit/izens will assert themselves as the arbiters of disputes which arise by using logic and rhetoric. Thanks to our fair play with /sp/ and /fit/, they'll back us up as our guards and army.
We move slowly to all of the smaller boards and promise them protection and turn our vast populace into a democracy and fortify ourselves against the /b/astard hordes and the 4chon rejects /new/ and /r9k/.

>>1983492
>>1983492

From then on aquiring all the other boards under our hand (such as /c/, /trv/, /adv/) will be of no challenge!

The legions of /b/ will tremble under the glorious Enlightenment!

>>1983492
>For starters, we'll appease /co/ by saying that yes, graphic novels are literature that combines artwork.

I'm not okay with this.

I'm gathering a lot of anal lube.

I'm going to /d/.

I think /d/ will invade the nearest archipelagos for sex slaves. And then wage war on the central continent.

It'd take a while for any of the other boards to reach us by sea. They'd need too build boats or something and I don't think many boards would be able to do that, especially as there would probs be alsorts of power struggles going on in the other boards.

Hopefully /k/ would kill each other off/use up all their ammo by the time they could reach us.

No idea what /lit/ would be like but I'm sure there would be plenty to read.

A tarp, a shovel, a folding saw, a sleeping bag, rope, my leatherman, a knife, a couple lighters, a giant fucking bag of marijuana, a large metal pot, some empty sealable bottles for drinking water, and 130 lbs of canned food. Maybe swap out 10 pounds of food for more rope depending on the actual flora of the island I'm on, since sometimes it can be difficult to find fibers that can easily be made into cordage.

First thing, bury most of the food, start boiling water to fill the jugs so it looks like I was an idiot and wasted most of my 150lbs of gear on water instead of my secret food cache, build a small shelter, and wait for most people to start kicking the bucket. Give it at least a month or two for nature to weed out the unsuitable before I even THINK about organizing anything with anybody; I'm not wasting my resources on do-nothing retards who can't even take care of themselves, let alone contribute to an actual "group society."

Im going to /v/ to play video games.

Shit, forgot that /v/ doesn't play video games

>>1983669
>>1983669

> /mu/ and /v/
> MUSIC AND VIDEOGAMES? NOPE, WRONG PLACE. THIS IS ULTRA RAEG ARGUEMENT TROLLING U MAD ISLANDS.

>this thread
>implying /lit/ would be a nice place
>implying /b/ would be a bad place and not manage well
>implying /sci/ and /ic/ wouldn't be the most peaceful and civilized

Guys, get over yourselves. This board, which I myself would probably be left on, is full of pseudo intellectuals and punks who can't agree on anything.

/b/ has a much larger population across generations. There population would have the most capacity for growth and once everyone could see who was actually an adult and actually capable the /b/etas and children would fall in line behind the competent ones. It wouldn't be technological or the most peaceful, but it would probably be better or more sustainable than most of the boards.

This leaves me with the last statement. /sci/entists are actually educated. They would build enlightened dwelling and ships and agriculture the fastest and best. It would be the best place to live, which the /sci/entists need to happen because they are all dudes, and a large portion of them gay and their population wouldn't survive more than two generations without some attraction factor to bring imigrants. And the /ic/'s are the nicest, most supportive and generally most likeable residents of 4chan. They wouldn't do much, other than make pretty things, but everyone would like them and it would be the chillest most peaceful land.

>>1983692
just because /sci/ is educated doesn't mean that they actually know how to do any of the things they understand the science behind.

while I'm not saying they don't have a lot of potential to be adaptable, of lot of their actual knowledge is implicit on having the technology to support their way of doing things; being able to explain the chemical process behind photosynthesis does not make one a more capable farmer, for example.

I'd probably sprint to the local liquor store and stock up on spirits. Then I'd trade all my booze for everything else I could want.

let's see...
a sleeping bag and tent, i have this water filter bottle thing but i'm sure we can just build a well over time or something
grab some leftover veggie seeds from last year's crop, multivitamins, first aid kit, lighter/matches, set of clothes, something to fend myself with and whatever remaining weight in entertainment, ie books.

i'll most likely try to stay alone until the initial excitement settles down. then who knows.

I'd end up on /mu/. Shit. I'd probably try to get to /lit/ with other people who visit both of these boards, since /mu/ would kill each other in a few days. I'd bring a hiking backpack with survivalism essentials and my collection of 20th century's classic books, which I would trade with you for other goods (Kafka's The Trial for a goat)

I have a huge ammount of rare ancient-classical works, I´d probably carry the rarest of them as to preserve that. I´m sure the more known ones would be carried by others. The new world must remember.
That´s about 80-100 pounds. The remaining 80 pounds would be spent on survival items I do have since I go camping a lot.

Alright, a few things:

>No survival of the fittest. We are expected to be one of the civilized boards. We help each other. Let /v/ kill it's inhabitants off over religion or some shit.

> Diplomats. People must receive a diplomatic course of some type before they are allowed to leave the island. People who do not frequent this board are under the illusion we are all intelligent people and not hipster faggots. This will be our greatest strength in our diplomacy.

> Every member must bring one book.. Bring one you think is great but don't think anyone else would bring. There must be a cap to the number of books we can bring with us. If I know /lit/ like I think I know /lit/, everyone will bring there weight in books so everyone has to read what they read, leaving little space for helpful survival gear. Once again, /lit/ being /lit/, our people will slowly die off while going through caffeine withdraw (someone may want to bring pills to help ween them,) while they think they are going through some deep and edgy depression.

>>1983765

Problem, these books will need to be well guarded. There will always be that one asshole hipster who will be like "Lol, this a great work?!?!" And then they will deface it or burn it. Might be better off just bringing survival gear and like one of them that you can guard well.

>>1983771
Well, yeah, I´ll guard them as best as possible myself, and I´m sure other people would help.
If I can keep one book safe, I can keep many of them.

>mfw I end up either on /u/'s tiny island or /mu/, which will probably be hell because I only go there for sharethreads.

I would get books, knives, a first aid kit, a sleeping bag, money, bottles of water, a bowl, and a fuckton of seeds for growing food. Also a portable stove or something like that.

As a member of /k/, I would like to say that /lit/ is pretty cool and we recognize that. From a /k/ perspective, /lit/ would be Athens and /k/ would be Sparta. A better comparison would be that /lit/ would be the Reichstag during German Unification and /k/ would be the German General Staff. To put it simply, /k/ would rely on /lit/'s input politically (while putting in their own mind you) just as /lit/ would rely on /k/'s military strength. And to those that say /k/ would kill each other off, we wouldn't. We see each other too much as brethren to do so. Plus, each of us has a gun, you don't fuck around like that.

>>1983781
>>1983781

The whole /k/ and /lit/ as Greece relationship would work out better if we were closer - it'd be days before defense would be able to reach /lit/'s shore from /k/ by any /b/ attack. And while I realize, of course, that there would be a standing guard on the /lit/ island, the space is so limited there.

The lives of all on this planet depends on the actions of /b/. If /b/ does not die from its own abundance of faggotry, they will certainly spread across the world and submit our minds to their randomlulz dogma.

We should get on ok with /tg/, but I'm worried about the proximity of /d/. These are sick people, even by the demanding standards of 4chan.

Solution- we bombard them with well-written porn about heterosexual, adult aliens, sparking a vicious civil war about whether it counts as /d/ or /h/ material.

>>1983781

While I see how the alliance would be beneficial, I fear an alliance would involve us in the giant "western culture vs. weeabo" war that I see happening. While we would have strength, they most certainly have numbers, and they will stick together.

>>1983781
As an intelligent human I understand an alliance with /k/ would be helpful and this sentiment is very comforting.

As a pacifist I somewhat resent this and don't know how I would handle this reality.

Also, I'd probably bring an acoustic guitar, a knife some POTS and some PANS. As well as a few of my favorite books.

If the /k/-/lit/ relationship worked out, my advice would be to station troops on /lit/. After the first year, after the factions of /b/ have all emigrated to boards that appeal to them more, leaving a population of summerfriends who accidentally got involved and the 10 pedophiles left on 4chan. This would be a good time to attack. Once in control of the largest island, we create a stronger alliance and gear up for inevitable weeabo invasion.

>>1983789
also, toilet paper

>>1983783
Look at it this way. It would take /b/ a hell of a lot longer to organize than it would for /k/. Plus, /k/ recognizes that they would need to reach the other islands faster than anyone else if they wish to expand their sphere of influence. It would be one of our first goals to reach you (along with /x/ because of Nazi Occulitsm and Nazi Super Science but mostly for shits, giggles, and ass, /sci/ for actual tech, /an/ because of waifu, and /o/ for vehicle repairs.)

>>1983786
We keep out of the weeaboo v west debate. Our debates are usually AR15 v AK-74. We just don't care about culture wars. We want you guys so that you can spread culture for us and help us create a lasting and cultured society. A society where we can read "All's quiet on the Western Front" after a day of shooting. A society where we can study Sade and compare him to the enlightenment philosophers.

>>1983785
/d/ won't act out on their impulses. They are very consensual based despite what their porn may otherwise suggest. Plus, they "know" things. They are staying, but with a close eye on them. I imagine a Palace of Versailles like set up with them.

Bring a solar panel and a computer with a battery converter so that I can have infinite power. This will allow me to punch as much information as I can onto the computer so it will be a super library.

WE SHALL CONQUER /lit/

> implying this archipelago's strange population of impotent neckbeards wouldn't starve to death within the first three weeks

>>1983794
There's more /k/omrades than e/lit/ists. We also have more land. We would put a few troops to guard the island, but would probably start moving a bunch of you onto our own island. Not an evacuation, more or less a mix of populations. That way, each island can hold a solid defense against the /b/ menace while making sure that /k/ and other boards can receive a healthy dose of culture. It also has the political benefit of ensuring that we won't turn on each other by giving each island an equal amount of representation on the respective islands.

>>1983838

I approve of that plan. We just have to avoid tension where a few /k/omrades can't stand living with sissys who can't hold a gun while a few e/lit/es can't stand living with cavemen (Not that this is true, you just have different interests than them. Which just isn't okay.)

Also, /b/ would never be able to organize an attack. As I said, emigration.

I get stuck on /p/, which is so small, it's probably the equivalent of Mauritius or something. We'd also probably get invaded by /ic/ telling us we aren't proper art. /k/ goes to /p/ quite a lot, probably because of the shared love of walking around and shooting things.

Probably eventually all the "hipster" boards would conglomerate together, wherein we'd all die out due to skinny jeans restricting blood flow to testicles.

>>1983846
We'll be cool as long as you don't do any of the following:

1. Try to put gun restrictions on us.

2. Say "clips" instead of "mags". This rule doesn't apply if you are talking about Nuggets (Mosin Nagants).

3. Interfere in our military operations. We want complete control over how we attack and defend. You can, of course, put in your input of what we should attack or defend before an operation and we would probably work something out. But as soon as an operation is underway, you don't get in the way of any of our operators.

Don't do any of these things and we'll have a long and fruitful relationship.

How devious!

Though, I do find the thought of easily sabotaging /lit/ by intentionally trolling hilarious - like, right there in the middle of fucking parliament or something, somebody mentions Finnegan's Wake should be taught to all.

Then the frenzy.

>>1983864
Hate to break it to you, but I doubt that /b/ reads Plato. More likely than not, they'll attack at night and wage human wave warfare on the islands' perimeters. We would have to disperse them quickly, lest they form some sort of beach head where the rest of their forces could rendevuos.

>>1983863
I'm not too sure about 3. That sounds like a good way for the military to become too powerful. Also, just because you guys know how to shoot guns doesn't mean you know the best strategy for victory once underway (not saying /lit/ does either.)

inb4 Eschaton

>>1983886

1. We won't look for a dictatorship. We have our needs. Food? We contact /ck/. Sex? We have /d/, /an/, and /x/ for that (and we all know /d/ would say yes to anything and, little known fact, is mostly a female board). Defense? /k/ being the military super power has that underway. Plus we see ourselves not as Julius Caesar's but rather as the German General Staff during German Unification, pridefully serving our country and operating as to avoid it's oppression.

2. While most of the people can just shoot guns well, there is a group of strategist (myself included) who are well acquanted with Sun Tzu, Clauswitz, Mao, and Petraeus. We also have actual soldiers on our board for both tactical and strategic purposes who would undoubtedly be of a higher rank in our military.

3. Perhaps, I have miscommunicated what we want. Our groups would act as a government much like any congress or parliament, but once the agreement to wage war has been made, /k/ has control in how to do things. I didn't mean to suggest a dictatorship or anything of the sort. My apologies if that is the case.

Judging from the map, /lit/ would have to make an alliance with /d/. This would not be hard.

We would ask their drawfags to illustrate a threeway between Tyrone Slothrop, Katje Borgesius, and Grigori the Octopus. Thus we would gain their trust.

I assume if you are here from /tg/, you seek alliance as well. I'm sure you do. But tell me, is Eschaton a "traditional game"?

>>1983920
As well as being a /k/omrade and an e/lit/ist, I am also a /d/eviant. As such, an alliance would not even require what you suggest. It was from the realm of literature that the Divine Marquis and the scholar Masoch entered into the bedroom. We owe you a debt of gratitude that an alliance could hopefully fulfill. Plus, we have a thing for nerds. Actually, we have a thing for everything but that is besides the point.

>>1983920
It would only work if Katje Borgesius had the reproductive systems of both genders and was forced to have her teeth brushed by a woman with impossibly huge breasts.

>>1983946
FUND IT

You guys ain't seeing the big pictures. We don't need to make alliances, or for much time anyway. The whole point of elitism is not to have to deal with inferior scum. We must build an impenetrable walled city, like Carthage or Constantinople, not some bullshit like Greece. We can't be Greece. Greece had good military resources. They also had Persia as an archenemy, which is not cool.

I'm sure we can learn to build out of textbooks. It's just a matter of finishing quickly, before the rest of the people get their shit together and waves of /d/eviants and /b/tards start hitting up the archipelagos. The wars are going to fought on the mainland, it's us who's gonna get fucked.

>>1983958
Read the Prince. Then you'll understand how bad of an idea that is.

>>1983963
Fuck whatever that italian asshole had to say. History is with me on this. Constantinople wasn't fucked with for a long time. Assuming our island is self-sustaining, there's no good reason to mingle with the rest of 4chan-world.

Yeah, history is sure on your side. Hell, I don't even have to argue how isolationism is bad economically to win this argument.

I say we take out (and eat) the /soc/ kids.

Most of them are fat, so we'll have food for a while *and* we won't have camwhores.

I want to be with the boat people.

Assuming this is a salt water ocean, /lit/ better start out by buffing their shit. Once /d/ /u/ and /e/ realize they have no lakes (most likely fresh water, you can be sure they'll be looking for some land to conquer.

judging from the map, /lit/ would be around the size of portugal; that's fucking huge

>trapped on an island with /mu/
Fuck.

so i'm stuck with either /lit/, /mu/, /vp/, or /adv/

Lucky me...

>>1984031
oh wait, nevermind, didn't see the scale at the bottom

we would be around the size of Mauritius

I want to see this thread turn into a game of Eschaton.

Actually it would probably better getting the entire site involved. Everyone would get so confused though, they'd be nuking their own countries and so forth. And /b/ would presumably win due to it's relative size, unless all other boards worked together to kill it off.

Would only be rewarding if losing boards got deleted though

Fuck, i think i'd end up with /new/.

I'm struggling to grasp just how bad it would be.

>>1983989
Constantinople stood as the most glorious and most wealthy city in all of Europe for about a thousand years. It wasn't isolationist, it just understood the value of colossal fucking walls, and that's exactly what's needed.

>>1984078
/new/ is dead so i don't think it should count

I'm tellin' you guys, it's this or oblivion.

>>1984089
It's still the board i've spent most time on overall.

It's a shame we are so isolated too, escape would be near impossible.

As a /sci/entist I might be biased but /sci/ would be the most advanced civilization. /sci/ already knows what government they want. They would be a technocracy, every resource would be used for the advancement of science and everyone that frequents that board wants the same thing. Whoever said that /sci/entists don't know how to use what they know is sadly mistaken and has never seen a mad scientist thread. Also look at /sci/s location. They are surrounded by the most peaceful boards on this website.

/k/ would never get off their own island. We all forget who the average /k/ goer actually is. It ranges from tacticool teenager and fat obsessed nerds. Every /k/ citizen would only bring weapons, nothing else of value, they would have fragmented leadership and small scale gunfights throughout the island.

/b/ would be equivalent to tribal africa.

/lit/ would do nothing except read, sleep, and write.

/fit/ would be working out and fucking girls from /fa/

/x/ would be paranoid tribals that would be worshiping some water god and erecting temples around the island.

/tg/ would actually set up a hierarchy and have a stable government but their lack of technology will be their downfall because /sci/ would already be on the ocean while they are experimenting.

I don't know what the fuck /co/ would do.

>>1984100
I think most important will be which boards have the people charismatic enough to get the population to actually work together, or at all.

A fair portion of 4chan users would be utterly useless and disinclined to follow even the most reasonable of suggestions.

I think it would be a situation like the first half of Day of The Triffids, some of the more competent people would attempt to organise larger groups to help them survive while smaller bands would split off on their own. There would probably be a degree of conflict between the various groups too.

>>1984100
I approve of this post. Also;
/d/ would actually get along internally as well as with other boards. You might have not seen their conversation threads, which are one of the most intelligent and peaceful on 4chan, dare I say.

/sci/ MIGHT get developed if you somehow got rid of all the retarded children and their religion trolling.

I might end up on /mu/, /p/ or, god forbid, /r9k/. Would try to make my way to /lit/ or /sci/.

Guns would be a big issue surely. On pretty much all of the boards you will get people with access to a gun who bring it along.

What will happen if some of those people turn out to be complete lunatics?

>You may only carry your own weight in stuff (IE: If you weigh 150lbs, you can only take 150lbs worth of stuff).

This makes little sense. I only weigh 136 lbs but I'm sure I can carry more than most the fat disgusting neckbeards on here who weigh 340 pounds.

>>1984151
not a matter of strength; it's a matter of arbitrary rules to make things interesting

>>1984156
Dont let this thread die this was actually interesting.

>>1984100

I disagree with the /k/ part. Sure, most are as you describe, but the ones who are strategists or served in the military will become the officers and generals. The tacticools will be the cannon fodder on their own, but under the right guidance, they can be the most formidable foe in the Archapelago. Plus, the tacticools don't want to strategize and lead, they will elect someone to be their officers.

>>1983492
>implying /fit/ and /lit/ are not already bros due to people clicking the wrong one

>>1984308
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what that has to do with /k/.

/co/ island - not bad.
Acoustic guitar (lighter than you think), tuning fork, Loeb editions of Sophocles and Pindar (3 little books,) bag of potatoes, bag of onions, a few bulbs of garlic, apple seeds, pear seeds, tea seeds, mary-jane seeds (strictly as a commercial crop), a machete, a flask, a light saucepan, a box of matches, a few pairs of handcuffs, and a winter coat.

I'd rely on others for shelter and try to avoid work by being the musician of the group, while growing my own crops on the side. I grow my rare stuff in some out of the way place, and try to assemble a few cronies to support my ambitions of being the owner of a big plantation. We build a house out of stray lumps of stone with straw and mud as mortar, which becomes the headquarters. I establish influence as the only supplier of various 'luxury' crops and am the first to suggest midnight slave-raids on smaller, neighbouring islands in some bloated pretentious speech by the campfire. Lots of gift-giving, gift-withdrawing and encouragement of rivalry for these gifts, which now include women and servants. We try to get a few guns from /k/ via trade, but we don't rely on guns so much as spears, as the guns they brought are breaking down over the years. Saltpeter they have, bullets and new guns they lack. I have rivals, and I can't deal with them very well in the open, so I try to have them arrested in the night, and implicate them in the plot of a rival island in some show trial, which may or may not go horribly wrong and lead to my death.

Well since I posted a lot in this thread, I'm adopting a trip, but for this thread alone:

You know what, screw the usual sarcasm and >implying.
Now I just want to know HOW.

>>1984318
Nothing, cause we're on /lit/ and if you read the post I linked to, it was about /lit/.

Perhaps become literate you fucking cartridge dragging ape.

>>1984350
Our biggest threat, no matter which island you are stationed on, is /b/. Assuming we, /k/, won't give you guns (unless you allowed us to split up your group and force you to join our army), you'll be relying on spears (which apparently was part of your plan anyway). If /b/ came over, it would be you and a few of your friends with spears against hundreds, if not thousands of /b/tards, attacking in human waves. Knowing that a straight out fight would favor /b/, the only other option would be negotiation. But since /b/ has size and just wants to rape everything, negotiation is not an option. Thus, the only option for you is to

A. Acquire enough guns from the other islands to arm your whole tribe and then be enough of a leader to hold out.

B. Enter /k/'s sphere of influence and agree to trade what you can to /k/ and others as part of the Great Confederacy for protection from /k/.

>>1984346
>>implying we would give you guns
Trade is trade. We don't need to be enemies, and it's not as if you'd lose your real monopoly, which is know-how.

You're going to have to find mining sites (which aren't guaranteed) and then set up the mine (which is slow and difficult) to get the material you need.

>implying you'll survive a /b/ hoard with a bunch of spears
You're further north. We'll let you whittle them down for awhile.

>>1984365
Calm down, buddy. I had a dyslexic moment and thought the last three digits connected to my post. I was going to apologize for an honest mistake until the name calling.

>>1984369
>implying the average /k/...-tard? -omrade? has the best stuff.
AK isn't exactly prohibitively expensive, you know.

Hoard of /b/tards? This won't be a problem after the first few days when they get bored making boats and then a hundred years later when a charismatic leader comes and unites the tribal factions of manchildren, pedophiles, summerfriends, guys who like cartoon horses, making faces, and gay porn addicts. Then, unless we have made high walls, we are most assuredly fucked.

>>1984369
>Trade is trade. We don't need to be enemies, and it's not as if you'd lose your real monopoly, which is know-how.

I understand where your coming from, but /k/ loves their guns. They won't want to part with them. If there was a trade, it would be merc work or protection, not guns. Or we could just shoot you and take your stuff, but we are trying to be civil as we can so we won't do that. Our merciless nature is only revealed to hostiles and /b/tards.

>implying the average /k/...-tard? -omrade? has the best stuff.

Maybe not everyone ahs an AK, sks, or a revolver, but a nugget can be easily had for $100. Everyone on /k/ has at least one. Plus, they last forever.

>You're going to have to find mining sites (which aren't guaranteed) and then set up the mine (which is slow and difficult) to get the material you need.

You'd be surprised how many bullets five pounds of empty cartridges and five pounds of gunpowder will make. 10 percent just brought a press and the materials, we could last for quiet a while. Plus, bayonets.

>You're further north. We'll let you whittle them down for awhile.

/b/ might avoid us since we could distribute our guns to a whole island and might be able train everyone by the time conflict arises. I say might. They also might be stupid enough to face us head on. The question is whether or not you want to make that gamble. /k/ probably won't hinder your operation. We'll either ignore you or want a cut.

>>1984367
You seem to be underestimating just how difficult it would be to establish a working economy in a world of wilderness - /b/ would devolve into cannibalism and would more of a piratic threat than an invasive one. You would be struggling to survive for the first few years the same as anywhere else. We could provide auxiliaries for /k/ raids on the ports of the /b/ mainland, but /Co/via has too much potential as a major population center to submit to the small island of /K/ayland. It would be a disservice to our more numerous descendants. After awhile the technological gap would lessen - after all, we have /sci/ just southwest of us.

>>1984380
Sorry /k/bro, instinctual reaction now.

>>1984407
I'm not saying /k/will take over. I'm saying we won't trade our guns. I'm saying that the only thing we would trade if a trade were to occur is your crops or services for protection, all of this assuming that we both have something the other wants. Otherwise, we just don't care.

Plus, /b/ is a wild card. Maybe they are pirates, maybe they would invade. Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best.

>>1984419
It's ok.

>>1984423
OK then.

I wonder if moot would hold any power, as he'd obviously get teleported too.

I imagine he'd get sent to /b/ ? They'd probably carry him around on one of those big wooden thrones with handles and he'd try and escape to somewhere like /an/.

/tg/ returning. How are you folks doing on your island?

>>1984481

Nah, he seems to be a /jp/ kind of guy. That's where all the really oldfags hang out.

Then again he might use /b/ to finally cash out on 4chan. I can see the green text story now.

>make 4chan
>don't make any money
>get in to debt
>pay it off but don't make any money
>make canvas, thinking it will make money
>fails miserably
>miracle happens
>transported to the Archapelago
>/b/ proclaims me king
>fuck /b/tard bitches everyday
>everythingwentbetterexpected.jpeg

Also, I doubt anyone will be extending any kind of trading patterns or military projection anytime soon, not even /k/. I am surprised though that /lit/ seems more civil than /tg/ usually is on the topic. Last night there was a big fight about whether or not we would deal with or tolerate slavers due to a lack of women.

Would the denizens of /lit/ island be amenable to a /tg/ outpost and some renaissance fair style militia training for your people?

>>1984481
He'd be stationed on /po/, he's always around there for some reason.

An exiled King of Nowhere

>>1984496
We don't see any military projections either except maybe from /b/ because of their population. The idea that we've come up with is that for those who want to be involved, we immigrate people from island to island so that each island has a mix of specialists. Each island would have a /k/ommando army, /d/eviant lovers, e/lit/e cultural scholars, /ck/ cooking, /o/ repairmen, and brilliant /sci/entists. Hopefully, each /k/ division could train enough people to defend from any /b/ invasion. Also, we are assuming these boats each island has are motor boats, yes. If they're row boats, then no one is going anywhere.

>>1984512

I'd assume rowboats, since there wouldn't be near enough people to maintain them.

That said, looking at geography we don't really have those sorts of options until we get established enough to build boats, which means he have a handle on survival and handling or keeping out the raptors.

From my perspective, every island is likely to have a varied set of expertise and skill sets in terms of personnel, but each island would vary most in attitude.

Not sure if /tg/ have had a thread today, but last time we were figuring out what our building materials would be. /k/ is a jungle, /tg/ is mountainous, and /lit/... I'm not sure about /lit/ actually. Does anyone know?

But yeah. Infighting is also something we'll have to look out for.

>>1984516
Well, if they are row boats, you aren't going anywhere (look at the scale of the map). By the time you reach the other shores, you'd have starved. I don't think even /fit/ could do it.

Which begs the question, why have a map? If you each get an island that is too far from anywhere else, then why not just say you are stuck on an island with others of your board? Anyway, I'm still assuming motor boats for the above reasons.

>>1984533

Perhaps small skiffs/sailboats?

Besides, you're underestimating the capacity of canoes, the polynesians were just fine with them out on the ocean. That said, major interaction will be a while.

>>1984537
>Perhaps small skiffs/sailboats?
Now we're talking. A sailboat I can see going the distance.

>That said, major interaction will be a while.

I know. But we better have some sort of plan for an improved standard of living after we set ourselves up.

>>1984545

Eh. I don't see /tg/ needing much defense even though everyone else does. We have mountains, which means mountain passes. A couple of crude fortifications at a choke point means we aren't exactly easily invaded, so for me personally it isn't a huge concern.

Trade, however, is. Civilization building is. Exploration is.

>>1984551
The Civ building, trade, and exploration would be something to look forward to. But why do you assume you have mountains?

>>1984556

It was listed as our Island's terrain. I don't pay enough attention to learn where the statement originated. Mountains surrounded by hills.

We should bring nonfiction on colonization and instructions on building useful things.

Get rid of /b/, then wipe off the weeaboo islands, then the islands that have nothing to contribute (e.g. /r9k/, /wg/, /new/) and then organize a super-state in the biggest island with the population of all the boards that remain.

I'd be ok with that.

>>1984822
/x/ and /d/ should be included. /x/ for their storytelling ability and their knowledge of mythology. /d/ is pretty obvious.

Fuck, I'm starting on /mu/.
I'm sure there will be a group of us who immediately set off for /lit/ by way of /co/ and /tg/, which wouldn't be too awful of a trip, distance notwithstanding.

>go on /tg/ for the first time
>very first thread is this Candy Land play-by-play between Wolverine, Binky from Arthur, Ash Ketchum, and Barney the dinosaur
I like it there. Let's be friends and play games and read all day. /k/ is, of course, invited for reasons already discussed.

Have /lit/ and /k/ always been friends and I didn't know?
I remember being friends with /mu/ when the board was first made, but we had that falling out and I never heard any new friendships come up.

>thinking we should allow /k/ to exist

full retard

/k/ /new/ and /b/ are the three boards that must be wiped out completely. I would say /r9k/ as well, but they tend to only hurt themselves, so I'm not concerned.

>>1984975
*heard of

>That feel when you won't end up on /an/ /s/ /soc/ or /adv/ which will have the best damn communities ever (before /s/ of course is raided for it's porn as first priority by /b/)

>>1985049
/an/ is a nice board filled with mean people. I'm glad I won't be there.

Boards where I spend the most time:

/lit/ - divided between fantasy nerds and stuffy academic-wannabes

/k/ - I go here to troll liberals by pretending to be a stormfag and make beta males shit themselves at my pure alpha-ness

/soc/ - I go here for meetup threads and porn, but I try to keep the two separate.


No idea which one I'd actually end up at. Hopefully /soc/, just 'cuz I'd get laid a lot more.

>>1984975
We've never been real buddy-buddy, but we have a healthy sense of respect for each other that if we got together we could be real close(except when /lit/ makes fun of the hicks and tacticools, while /k/ makes fun of the psuedo-intellectuals and hipsters). Plus, guns and books go hand in hand. Who could forget Hunter S. Thompson's love for guns? Or the pictures of Hemingway with his favorite shotgun (before he killed himself with said shotgun.)

>>1984982
Son, how do you expect to do that? /b/ is the largest and most chaotic board out there, /k/ has got more guns per capita and soldiers than any other board. The only success you would have is /new/ on the account that it does not exist anymore (at least on this website). Plus, /k/ leaves you well enough alone. One should not go breaking things for the sake of repair.

Anybody write about this yet?

>>1985322

/k/ is actually one of the cleverer boards, believe it or not. There are regularly discussions on history and literature which are easily as intellectual as anything here, if somewhat limited in subject to african american gentlemen, weaponry, and military history.

/lit/, /k/, /ck/ and /mu/ should be the alliance to rule this world - we'll have all the musicians, manly men, poets and cooks, and as a result, we will get all the bitches.

So once /b/ is pacified or wiped out, what happens to /v/? They're just as worse as /b/ itself.

I'm going to /tv/. No doubt about it. /mu/ is too hipster, /lit/ is too boring and /b/ is too dangerous.

I'd take lots of costumes, decor, paper and writing utensils.
