+344 Everyone hates the people who answer "a boat" or something of that sort when playing Desert Island. I'm trying to get to know you, goddammit. Why not choose something that tells me something about you, instead of telling me that you're an obnoxious smart ass, amirite?

well maybe once you get to know them you'll realize that they're an obnoxious smartass.

Why not just ask them to tell you about themselves... I'd much rather someone seem interested in knowing about me than asking what I'd take to a made up Desert Island.

I was talking more about when you go to a camp or some class or something and they play these games to get to know your camp/classmates. Not just playing this kind of stuff at a party. If we're all being forced to play this game, it makes it nicer for everyone involved if you put some thought in it and actually let us get to know you, y'know?

Say that they now have a row boat without any paddles.

i think you're overreacting.

How was that overreacting...? It's not like I maim the people who do it. I'm just saying it's annoying when people refuse to take part in something we're forced to do, and think that they're being clever by coming up with a "witty" remark to get out of it.

the "obnoxious smart-ass" was beyond unnecessary.

Nevermind that a boat makes the most sense. If I was stuck on an island, I wouldn't bring video games or something else that I do in my free time, I would bring something that would get me home.

Again that's not the point of the game... Do you actually think you're going to be stuck on an island and you can only have 3 things? No. It's just a more fun way of "tell me what your 3 favorite things are". If you would actually just play along and have fun with the *game*, it would be a much more enjoyable experience for everybody, right?

A teleporter or civilization.

I would bring Physician's Desk Reference...hollowed out, inside-waterproof matches, iodine tablets, beet seeds, protein bars, NASA blanket and, in case I get bored, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. No, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Question, did my shoes come off in the plane crash?
