I think alot of people would begin re-thinking the whole "rest of their lives on mars" thing very soon after arriving.



I wouldnt mind staying there for a year or something, but the remainder of my life? there better be some pretty goddamn impressive facilities in this colony.

If they REALLY want to make it exciting, hell, send prisoners that have life sentences. It certainly would solve some problems with the prison system...

Who would pay to ship them food/water....? Seems like they would need to make trips up there more often than every two years.

Well they did that with Australia and their women turned out hot. So imagine hot Martian babes in 200 years

I'd put that right up there with going camping.

Along the lines of the prison comment, there are a good handful of people I'd love to volunteer to go.

Grimson?

Grimson?

Stu would TOTALLY be the one who fucking winds up in the Martian history books as having colonized the damn planet. Like a damn Martian Brigham Young. Please recall he pretty much ran away with the "Idiot Who Survives" category during the Zombie Apocalypse Survival Team thread lists. As I said then and still maintain, he's like the cockroaches and will laugh in our faces as he survives all.

That depends, I think some sort of biosphere and self sustainability would be required. The place would have to be big and you would need at least the ability to grow vegetables and ability to recycle water. If you can do those two things, I think its doable. They would need enough plant life so they wouldnt have to ship oxygen from earth.

McDonough and Stan Bowman?

Here lately I'm pretty sure I'd feed him to the zombies

He already halfway looks like a depiction of what we thing a martian is anyway... I would laugh at a planet of overreactionist, screaming drunk *******, who have a new favorite thing every out. Sounds like a perfect place for a penal colony.

We would have to if they unionized.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. There's no going back and retroactively changing your Zombie Apocalypse Survival Team placements. That shit is now IHN canon.

Didnt i have fluff surviving though? I cant remember I'll look it up. Yeah checked I had fluff, actually most everyone had fluff. God that was a great thread. Wish it caught on more it was fun

 

[MassHavoc]

The real question is, how will they survive without a defense budget and troops to defend them against the unseen dangers hidden deep within the planet's surface.

Wholeheartedly agree. That thread is now "Classic" IMO. That shit was comedy gold!
