Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[Claw75]

so guitar it is.

pen might be a better choice!!!

[Rod Paradise]

My book would be a large one with blank pages.  I'd keep a diary of sorts and/or write my own fictional stories in it.

The luxury item was a bit more difficult.  With a little bit of effort and creativity, you can make just about everything I thought of.  That said, always threatened, but never got around to learning how to play a guitar...so guitar it is.

A still FTW!!!

Would be attached to the blank book, obv. 

And considering my inability to walk properly lately, a still is proberly a very bad idea!

why not get your guitar attached as well then you can pick another thing

[kinboshi]

Can I trade the religious book for another one?

The rules state "either the Bible or another appropriate religious or philosophical work", so I guess that's a yes. What would you take instead of the Bible? (You still get your regular "extra" book).

If it can be a series of volumes rather than a single book, then I guess that the Encyclopedia Britannica would be a good choice.  All 32 volumes...

I'd probably burn X,Y,Z and the index volume one night when I cba getting firewood.

Sigh, are you trying to impersonate Cos?

No, that is your "regular" book, but you still get the Bible or "equivelant" religious tome.

It's all here.....

That was my equivalent to the bible.  Or does it mean I have to pick another work of fiction to replace it?

I had got away with being Cos'd - sorry, whooshed - until you blew my cover.

Would you really not want to take a bible?

Personally I think a bible with a pencil attached for annotating it would be a very handy way to spend my time

[RED-DOG]

For my book I would take a good military survival handbook. Something like SurvivalIQ - The Wilderness Survival Handbook. Or The US Army Survival Manual. Or maybe Ray Mears Outdoor Survival Handbook. (If I could get a sneak preview of the terrain pre casting away, I could make a more informed choice)

With one of these and a little application, you could provide yourself with endless luxuries.


For my one "Allowed" luxury, I want a dog. I know that's against the rules, but I can be extraordinarily persuasive when I really want to be.

If, despite my best efforts, I definitely can't have a dog, I would consider it a luxury to be cast away on an island with wolves or foxes so that I could start my own domestication programme.
