When all of a sudden a storm causes the ship to veer off course into a rock island in the middle of the ocean. The island is not charted and its nowhere near any land. There is nothing on the island except for a weird lone statue. The ship hull is completely torn and the ship is stuck on the rock.
Over the next few weeks you eat up your remaining food and in a moment of despiration you pray to the statue.

A Rock Island Devil appears and gives you 3 options to survive:

1) As long as you pray, the Devil will serve you 3 meals a day and keep you healthy. The same, plentiful meals every day for the rest of your life. No help will arrive. Everyone lives.

2) The Devil will give you a fishing net and an everlasting bonfire. They tell you Help will arrive in 7 years. People may die of sickness, starvation and disease.

3) Promise the Devil your souls and he'll repair your ship. You will feel the searing pain of your soul ripping out of you. Everyone lives, but at the cost of guaranteed eternal damnation.

Majority must agree on an option.

Id go with one.

SigmasonicX · Oct 20, 2017

Was expecting something One Piece related.

Hoo-doo · Oct 20, 2017

The first. Let us build civilization anew and feast.

AnathemicOne · Oct 20, 2017

We make a human raft and set sail anew, like what ants do when escaping water.

Or we can do 1.

Its a rock island. There isn't much resources to build with, unless you decided to repurpose the ship.

Forerunner · Oct 20, 2017

I'd go with two.

I don't want to live on an island forever and eternal damnation doesn't sound fun.

Septimus Prime · Oct 20, 2017

I agree with 1.

We might need to do something about this guy to maintain consensus.

SRG01 · Oct 20, 2017

3, without question.

Edit: wait, I completely misread that

NoblesseOblige · Oct 20, 2017

I wouldn't have prayed to something.

Theres no guarantee you live to make it off the island with 2.

Manu · Oct 20, 2017

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

I'd go with 2, I have people and things I care about.

Bronx-Man said:

Chances are still higher than 0%, which is option 1.

no.2
Lord of the Flies style

Familienoberhauptvogel · Oct 20, 2017

I was sure you meant the Original Trilogy

Surface of Me · Oct 20, 2017

2, I ain't submitting to some bumfuck island spirit.

What happens if you kick rock devil in the face?

I'll make it. One way or another.

Living on an island forever means I never see another Marvel movie. 2 wins.

And I fear for the gender ratio at play.

He steals your soul and devours you.

I would like the see the menu first though.

I don't want it to be split pea soup 3 meals a day for the rest of my life.

TickleMeElbow · Oct 20, 2017

Option 2.

All those episodes of Survivorman and Man vs Wild I used to watch will help me become leader of the pack.

Plus GAF is like 90% dudes as far as I know. I'm not about to be stuck on an island with a bunch of musty ass dudes for the rest of my life, and I'd like to keep my soul as well.

Rapscallion · Oct 20, 2017

1. People would die of malnutrition or disentary way before the 7 years. It would be a nightmare. At least we can live out somewhat decent lives with 1.

Who the hell would pick 3?

Kuga · Oct 20, 2017

#2. Use our infinite supply of wood from the 'endless' bonfire to make boats. Sustain people with fish and fresh water (distill sea water via boiling) while the armada is built.

Waiting around is for suckers.

Izayoi · Oct 20, 2017

Joke's on the devil, I don't believe in the afterlife!

(Realistically, we're looking at option 1 here though.)

Breakfast: sausage, fruit, eggs and toast- no jam.
Lunch: Turkey Burger and sweet potato fries. No ketchup.
Dinner: Broccoli and cauliflour

MiddeSummer · Oct 20, 2017

You tellin' me we humans with our superior brains can't build a less fancy ship and leave? It's a cruise ship!

What about onboard GPS? Ships are satellite tracked!

Spending the rest of my life on a rock island doing fuck all is not living.

And, man, I hate eating fish. This is such a scam.

Also Eternal Damnation is not fashion forward in the slightest.

So I guess I'd go with option 2.
Option 2. Live in ship. Eat fish. Use medical bay for disease and illness. Survive Seven Year GAF Party. It's a cruise ship ffs. They're basically floating cities. This isn't Gilligan's Island.

NO. JAM?? OH YOU CAN GO TO HELL WITH OPTION 1.

I can live off of the land

Turkey burger? Reconfirms option 2

Atomic Playboy · Oct 20, 2017

Does the existence of a devil cursing people with eternal damnation prove the existence of both an afterlife and a heaven? Cause if so, I'm going with option 2, followed by a whole lot more praise towards God so in the event I don't make it off the island, I'm still getting into heaven. Actually, I still probably go with 2. I mean, living on an island away from all the BATSHIT CRAZY AWFUL SHIT in this world seems like it would be ideal, but I'm sure I'd be bored with it after 7 years.

PingPongvonLaserstein · Oct 20, 2017

Since I'm clearly experiencing severe hallucinations brought on by extreme dehydration, I'd probably just roll over and embrace the void.

What does that entail.

I'm on a schedule, folks. Gotta get off that island.

Turkey burger and broccoli for the rest of your life.

I dont believe in souls and shit.

Repair my ship fam.

Van Bur3n said:

I don't know. Damming things.

Fourmyle of Ceres · Oct 20, 2017

Wow God really doing a bad job huh

PSqueak · Oct 20, 2017

Hold on, if the devil and souls are real, then god would also be real.

Wouldn't god save you for the selfless act of sacrificing your soul in exchange of saving many?

Anyways! Option 2 seems like the best option because you have 7 years to figure out how to get out ourselves.

Just like Pa always said, souls were always overrated.

kirblar · Oct 20, 2017

#1 seems the way to go because of the eternal free food.

Goo · Oct 20, 2017

Three. Seems like one and two is making a deal with the devil that would damn your soul anyway.

shaneo632 · Oct 20, 2017

Probably 1. But accepting the existence of the Devil would also mean God/Heaven exists, so option 2 wouldn't seem so bad either.

We will MacGyver the shit out of it and become a world power.

In reality: you assume OT will come to a consensus on a decision. Given how most of OT is argumentative, we are all going to die through in-fighting and starvation.

It isn't even the capital D Devil. It's just some dime store, knockoff devil, probably just running his mouth. I'm starting to think option three is a decent gamble.

mr2xxx · Oct 20, 2017

Most likely 2, if gaming side was involved then definitely 2.

Dad · Oct 20, 2017

I'll drown myself at sea before I'm stuck talking about marvel movies all goddamned day

evil solrac v3.0 · Oct 20, 2017

yeah I'm going with number 2. no way I let a devil determine my outcome.

uncredited male · Oct 20, 2017

You all must agree on an option.

We are going to die.

SuperStiltzkin · Oct 20, 2017

Everlasting bonfire sounds like a pretty good signal to any ships passing by. Just keep a smoke signal going during the day and keep it lit during the night.
