Guncounter Game: Colonizing Gliese 581e
Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2015 11:59 pm
Just like our Crossing America/Europe/wherever. This one is designed to be more fun.
Turns out there's extraterrestrial life. And they love TV. So, the Intergalactic Broadcasting Company has decided to make a series based off the success of Earth reality shows. The IBC has determined that members of The Gun Counter forum will lead themselves and nine celebrities of that person's choosing in order to set up colony infrastructure on Gliese 581e.
Gliese 581e (I'm assuming it exists), has a lovely temperate climate, similar to South California. Galactic Engineering has re-set the gravity to Earth-norm. There are local edible flora and fauna, and you will be dropped off for a one year stay. You and your celebrity cast will be supplied with 30 days of rations, tents, hand-held equipment and tools, a set of small tractors/cranes, and pre-fabricated buildings. The IBC will supply you with the latest hand-held adjustable-velocity rail guns for hunting and defense, so for once we won't be talking about guns, knives, and dogs.
The rules:
-You must select 9 living celebrities to be teleported with you. If you refuse to go, the Intergalactic Judicial Council will turn the population of Earth's puppies into spiders or some such nonsense. We'll define "celebrities" as those who have been on TV for education or entertainment purposes.
-Immediate protection is provided by a pre-fabricated set of walls. Adjustable velocity rail guns will be supplied for defense and forage.
-Once a celebrity has been signed on for two "seasons" by being selected by members, he or she is then off limits for the remainder of the reality series.
-Physical labor is a necessity, no robots are provided, but Galactic Motors has supplied several tractors and cranes.
-No politicians are allowed. The desire to hamstring them and leave them for local predators was deemed too strong by Intergalactic TV censors.
Have fun. Make good selections. If you want to choose the top 9 Miss America contestants, you are free to do so. Just hope that they have some useful skills, or Earth will watch you all starve on the IBC network. You can also pick 9 eggheads and provide no humor value to this thread.
I will post my selections later today or tomorrow to ensure that myself and the first poster don't take all of the good ones.
