What would you bring?

[Kaitlin 22]

Er, I don't think we talked about ranking. It would be kind of hard to do that, since we would each be bringing talents into the group and such.

My friend says I act like a Carhinien.... I play my moods to win arguements... And I don't notice that... he just must keep pointing that out...

But I don't look like one...

 

I don't see what I could contribute other than a good ol' load o' common sense from time to time... hey! I can carry things!!! *looks at Fenix* Hmm... Maybe not... *mumbles* gleemen...

[Whitty 29]

But what would we need ranks for anyway? Or am I missing something?

[Eldaya 0]

Hm...I would bring my body lotion.(Yeah,I know I`m such a girly girl)

 

And I`ll put all my lip sticks in Kate`s bag so that if someone find them I won`t be blamed.

That's easy. A time machine. Then I could travel back and forth and bring:

 

-A large offroad vehicle such as a Humvee or Jeep w/ spare tire.

-Tools and minor replacement parts (filters, tire repair kits, oil) for above vehicle.

-Assorted small arms and plenty of ammunition in GI spec green cans (for cookpots).

-nightvision and infrared detection technology

-A couple pairs of binoculars

-A few good compasses

-Emergency mirror

-Several pairs of sturdy boots

-Bivouac bag and tent

-Solid flashlights and lanterns

-Cigarette lighter adaptable bug zapper

-Assorted blades for chopping, whittling, skinning, etc.

-Mess kits

-Fishing poles and tackle

-Canoe or inflatable boat with cig lighter electric pump/deflator.

-camoflage clothing (Multicam, or to a lesser extent, MARPAT) w/ ghillie suit

-camoflage netting for disguising vehicle/encampment

-A friend or two who know the lay of the land (other WoTers)

 

And a buttload of each of the following:

MRE's

flares

batteries

Duct tape

fishing line

rope

matches

heating pads

snakebite kits

bug juice (Off or some other)

first aid kits

warm clothes

drinking water

water purification tablets

Jerry cans with gas/diesel

 

I would need the ability to travel time to refill on fuel.

 

Barring the possibility of bringing a vehicle, substitute that with 5 yoke of oxen, an aluminum-ized Conestoga covered wagon, and a multi-source generator.

 

ETA: I almost forgot, but remembered after reading more of the thread. Fenix has an AWESOME idea with the electric guitar, because none of the things I said I would bring could generate revenue (except in trade or assassinations), but a new kind of music could, and guns could provide the protection we'd need against disgruntled gleemen. We could power the amps with the car battery, or the generator, and of course we could bring drums and bass and stuff and totally blow people away with our high-voltage rawk!

Now that's something I'd pay to see.

Now we`re talking. As long as the gleeman are not a problem, everything is OK... but what if some learn to channel?

Someone else also studied Economics?

Channelling gleemen = no problem. I forsee a multifaceted approach to dealing with this:

 

1) With a little crash-course in modern firearms, we could have a kick-ass security detail that could establish perimeter security around any inns, greens, or other such venues we will attend. Less-than-lethal ammunition must be deployed as a preemptive measure to gleemen suspected of the capability of sabotage. 12 gauge bean bag rounds should do nicely.

 

2) Gleemen that can channel would be out of work quick. Male channelers still equals bad in the eyes of the people, plus any marketing done in the vicinity of aforementioned venues will of course include massive smear campaigns of our competition. This means we'll just INSINUATE that all of our competition can channel, and thus are tools of the Dark One.

 

3) How well can a legitimate business venture succeed without a little extortion behind the scenes? With our technology, we would find a way to strong-arm support from local authorities, Wisdoms, neighborhood Aes Sedai, etc. Threats can be used to great effect, as well as demonstrations of our superior civilization (tearing moats in the road with tires, destroying stuff with guns, burning stuff underwater w/ flares).

 

4) Remember: some ter'angreal can be useful for detecting channelling, and in any case, if you get the inkling that your lucky contestant is embracing the Source, just shoot first, ask questions later. Channelling is always a two-step process (embrace, weave), unless person holds Source already, so most likely once you make a threat to a channeler you have a split second to light him/her up like a Feastday celebration before he/she runs you thru the mangle with the Power. Beware!
