I'd be a naked heathen on a tropical island. Think of the wicked tan you could get...

The question is - how would i know about the multi-sided dice if I hadn't played a lot of D&D myself?

I definitely say forest, mainly because I am fair-skinned and have a high risk for skin cancer, so I need would need shade.

^ I'm liking that idea, could you imagine if we had our own tropical island, had a massive tpunk meetup and what with all the elves there to do everything for us, like make us drink, roll joints, feed us grapes.....man that would be some party!

The book the beach was so much better than the lame ass movie they made from it that didnt nearly do the book justice. They changed the whole fucking ending! Wtf?!

I said forest - I'm most familiar with the terrain and I am able to get by on that (in the past I've done 24hrs alone in the forest, while trying to avoid people who were searching for me... think military exercise). Mountains usually provide more problems then advantages.

I would say forest in mountains, becasue you shuold have ample resources for fresh water. For food you should be able to trap and prepare small game,. but im fucking trasheedd so take what I say asa grain of salt. but think about it!! lush greenery , should be able to amount enough greens and fungus to keep an able man fit, to get to where ever he needs to get.....................(im trashed.. hehe )

If by stranded you mean alone with only five servants and a huge villa stocked with everything I need, and a helicopter to fly in my friends, then I suppose I'd choose the tropical island...

I'm sorry to see that stranded in a kebab shop is not one of your options.

Your never alone with a doner kebab.

I say Island, all the way! But with my luck, I'd end up getting some kind of tropical illness, or something else to ruin my time in paridise!

Definitely island. I love islands - never actually been on one (unless Ireland counts ) but I know I love them.

It all depends. I guess jungle as it would have elements like fresh non salt water and soil to grow foods.

I said the Jungle...mostly because I've always wanted to go to one, but it would definitely be a cool place to really test your limits. And I'd never get bored either, I mean it's not like the desert where it's hot dry and there's nothing for miles, in the jungle there would be so many things trying to kill you you'd be wide awake the entire time

Jungles are waayyyy too hard to move around, they are so thick with trees, vines, monkeys and other jungly type things it's just impossible.......unless you're tarzan or king kong, or a hybrid of the two....which i am, so there.
