I'm not sure math and engineering knowledge would be all that useful on a desert island. Unless you needed to build a helicopter out of coconuts to fly off the island.

Eh, substitute math/engineering for generalized problem-solving ability and logic, and there's some utility to be had.  Trained labor is obviously better than problem-solving, but if you don't have the necessary skills, then potential is a pretty good thing to put in your back pocket.

Everyone seems to want to bring along Aqizzar, Nikov. Apart from those people who love hearing the sound of heated political discussion I think bringing either of you precludes the other.

I just said I'd have my rifle. I'd restrain my discussion with Aquizzar to very short retorts. One, maybe two at most.

Also you just told everyone you're willing to kill people who disagree with you. That's another thing.

Should we make a list of people and their relevant skills, and then put together a list of people based on the desired outcome of the island trip?

I worked at an overnight camp for boys out in the Ontario wilds for a few years, teaching 9-12ish years-olds camping skills over the course of every July-August. A far cry from 'survival skills' but I have paddled 88 kilometers in 11 hours straight overnight and can run through pitch black forest with a decently heavy canoe on my back plus a backpack full of gear, no problem. Also I'm good with kids should the inhabitants inhabit said 'desert' island long enough to birth and raise children.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Guy 1: So your trapped on a deserted island and you could only bring one thing. What would it be?
Guy 2: A Teleporter
Guy 1: Real things please
Guy 2: Well I am not very well going to bring an imaginary teleporter with me
Guy 1: sigh

We already have teleportation technology.

However, we can only do it with a single atom.

Actually that isn't true either. It doesn't teleport it clones at long distances.

I wouldn't bring an imaginary teleporter either, in fact given that I'm being forced into a deserted island scenario I should get anything I want.

Yeah, it clones at long distances and then destroys the original.

I thought they couldn't make it Not destroy the original, though.

Did we already deforest the island? I thought it was tropical before.

I dunno. We were in the middle of an argument about desert island vs deserted island and then it got derailed. I still wanna make a database of everyone, though.

Don't mind me, I'm a freak.

Well with all those people making boats and rafts is there any wonder there is no more vegetation?
