Remember, wood and stone would be your friend.

Once you build a shelter, just make sure you keep the taxes low and new population will move in. Then you can draft some as warriors (don't forget to build a makeshift barracks first), and you should be safe from any outside threats for a little while as you continue to expand. Aim to conquer the native tribes and you'll be a Lord in no time.

Conquer? What's that word mean? I prefer to let my enemy capture me and then break their constraints with all my might!

Well I'd start by using my pocket knife to hammer at the air above the ground after gathering a few logs and rocks. Once I have erected my Town Center by doing that I can start to magically spawn people by chucking 50 food [using a completely arbitrary unit of course] and waiting for a minute or two.

Of course I'd soon need to do some more air hammering to build a pair of houses, bringing the total population up to fifteen while simultaneously looking around for any stray sheep or forage bushes.

If I find the bushes first more air hammering awaits me, as I need to build an entire mill so I can collect the berries. Fortunately the sheep can be led to my Town Center and slaughered to produce still more people.

Of course I'd need to stick some of my people on wood as well, and throw together a lumber camp, but in no time at all I will be ready to advance the the Feudal Age and bum-rush anything close to me with a Triple S Flush [Spears, Skirmishers, Scouts].

I was talking about Evony, but if AOE is your thing then go right ahead and survive that way!

Keep an eye out for lions. They can be dangerous when starting out from scratch but they're good for food if you can defeat them.

Of course, I'd need to remember to research Loom to give myself more health and increase my chances of survival.

I must be out in the middle of nowhere for a reason. The only reason I have ever been in a locale like that, was to go camping. And I didn't get to the middle of nowhere by hiking.

My plan is to open the Land Rover and get out the tent. I'll set camp, then get out the cooler and have a nice dinner. I'm glad I brought the chocolate to make smores. They're a must have, when camping.

Tomorrow, I'll take a hike and enjoy the scenery. I'll take some photos. Maybe I'll find a stream, or pond to go swimming in.

In a few days, I'll drive home.




Did I pass?

my moms answer would be smiler to this. she waits in the truck knitting while dad sets up the tent (complete with fax grass door mat) and when the coco is ready she gets out to sit in her camp chair that is never where the smoke is blowing and knit some more while dad goes fishing. if he is successful he cooks the fish and then cleans up after and they make smores together. if he is unsuccesfull he puts a hotdog on her rosting stick and then smores. after dinner they talk and laught and whatever and then go to bed and he gets up and makes break fast (usualy sausage pancakes and eggs on the perfictly banked fire) before she gets up




my mom hates camping.


i dont like camping my moms way. i'd much rather help, except i'm helpless. so what i would do is to toss my cape over one shoulder (because my light jacket is really a cape but JP didnt know that) and then run through the woods my jean skirt catching on brambles while the bunnies and fawns watched thinking i was silly. eventually i would scream at the trees and fall down crying until the animals felt sorry for me.
then i would sing to them and they would lead me to a safe house where i could cook and clean for dirty little miners until my mom who was really a witch came with poisoned hair clipies and corset laces that suffocated me and eventually a poisoned apple..........

wait thats not me.....

sorry i must be in the wrong story, i dont get lost in the woods. i pass out for 1000 years till my true love kisses me. now it you'll excuse me i have some spindles to play with

Fashion a noose out of some vines and kill myself, much easier :P

-_- Too much work I would just use the knife and slit my throat.

Whats more important is if you were camping and in the middle of the night your mate rolled over and gave you a bit of a hug`n`cuddle would you go home and tell the rest of your friends?

Easiest: 1000 meters above sea level? Go look for a deep ravine and hurl yourself at it. XD
(Just make sure you go head-first.)

Well, I'd first make a fire, then dance around like an insane person.

Then i'd realize that I'm right next to my house that's in the middle of the woods cause that's basically the setting of where I live.

Then I'd go inside and watch ****. While drinking Wild Turkey.

use the knife to sharpen up alot of sticks and place them in the ground and then slowly start making a fortress, no smoking or fires too close though lol

Get out my Cell/Moblie phone and make a few calls, one might invole getting directions....

i would kill japanpimp and eat him.

Why would I be lost in a forest, anyway? If it was that big, there'd be ranger stations and search and rescue...or I'd be there illegally, since it would belong to a sawmill.

• Do I have any memory of why I went to the forest?
• Am I on Earth?
• Why am I not wearing underclothes?
• Isn't "slightly" mountainous like being "slightly" pregnant?

Am I human? Because if I get to be a squirrel, that makes things easier. I'm not sure why I'd have clothes though, unless they're little squirrel clothes, or I decided to make a nest out of some dead dude's remains. I probably collected the knife because it's shiny, though. Squirrels like shiny things.

The God-Emperor protects me....
I would mysteriously find a vox and call for transport off world

I would find a food and water source, then slowly build up my shelter until some native tribe comes and colonizes me. I will then attempt to uprise and escape only to be colonized again on my way to freedom.

Once you build a shelter, just make sure you keep the taxes low and new population will move in. Then you can draft some as warriors (don't forget to build a makeshift barracks first), and you should be safe from any outside threats for a little while as you continue to expand.

Where on earth did these "answers" come from? Some very very creative people here, lol.

JP, if you don't get it by now, that's half of OT's regular posters...I think that's a very grim indication when it comes to the success (or failure) of this thread...

Did you really need to multi-quote half the thread to say that?
