I would like the Tropical Island most, then I guess the a Jungel.

REMEMBER, you have to be able to Survive where ever you are cast away, so think..
Would you be smart enough to get food and shelter where you R?

Forest ensures ample fresh water availability, food sources, and resources for shelter, fire, and tools.

SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) qualified, so survival situations like that don't scare me.

I'd say island, but sub-tropical. Someplace more temperate like Bermuda than some truly tropical island where I could end up dying of malaria and shit.

forests have plants and plants can be hallucenogenic and hallucenogenic can be fun. but seriously folks, forests are wicked awesome, because there is so much more potential for awesome in a forest...and elves. fuckin awesome elves.

I'll take the tropical island, even though I'm most at home in the mountains. I could live off of tropical fruit forever, and if I do wind up dying, at least I'd die in paradise.

I've gotta go with the island, places with fruit and, hopefully, fresh springwater. Plus, I hate winter.

no way you short-sighted lumps!

You can't live on a tropical island forever!

Besides that forests in mountains have BIGFOOT and I am betting he has some sweet shindigs that he would let you stay at for awhile. Besides that your chances of hiking off a mountain and finding civilization are way better than flaggin down a passing ship!

I don't know... I'm starting to change my mind when you keep talking about them elves man!!!

How many elves are we talkin here?
I mean if I'm going to leave my island I don't want just 1 or 2 elves man!!

I want a whole open feild of elves, smokin their pipes and dancin around!

Are they all green?

what if I want to trade a few in for Red or Blue one?

How does this elf exchange rate thing work? 2 green for 1 blue? 5 green for 2 red?
let me know man~

I went with forest in mountains for this one. Forests are cool....mountains are cool....forest in mountains is the shit!!!

A tropical island would be awsome for a little while, but I think it would get soooo boring after a while. How big is this tropical island anyways?

Wait wait wait what about a tropical island with forests and mountains and jungles and elves. That would be cool
