Title: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Hash on April 10, 2012, 10:03:28 AM Based on what you know of the preceding poster's personality, attitudes, style, personality in times of panic, courage/bravery and, yes, income level/class; would he have survived? If so, how would he have done so? Would he have died onboard? How would he have died - trying to survive or "dying like a gentleman"?
Go. Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Torie on April 10, 2012, 11:15:16 AM He would have managed (perhaps by affecting an snotty French accent) to talk his way on to the upper decks (or organized a team of husky males to break down one of the gates/doors that were "securing" the lower deck folks from their soon to be tomb), and secured a place on a life boat along with the other "gentlemen."
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Pingvin on April 10, 2012, 11:16:40 AM Women and children first, would die like a man.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: CLARENCE 2015! on April 10, 2012, 11:31:11 AM Would be one of the last ones above water as the stern went under...would then succumb to hypothermia
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Grumpier Than Uncle Joe on April 10, 2012, 11:44:26 AM Isn't he a real-life survivor? ;)
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: CLARENCE 2015! on April 10, 2012, 12:01:41 PM HAHAHAA...
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Vermin Supreme on April 10, 2012, 01:52:53 PM Was one of the survivors of the ship sinking
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Napoleon on April 10, 2012, 01:58:46 PM Dies on the ship :(
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on April 10, 2012, 02:58:32 PM Gets on a lifeboat by stuffing his shirt with toilet paper breasts and hiding his Adam's Apple.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Queen Mum Inks.LWC on April 10, 2012, 03:01:29 PM He's a kid (right?), so he'd be on a lifeboat and survive.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Hash on April 10, 2012, 03:11:13 PM He seems pretty calm and not really prone to fits of panic, so I guess that he could be a good candidate for "dying like a gentleman". Then again, he might have tried to escape by jumping into the water or something.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Grumpier Than Uncle Joe on April 10, 2012, 07:55:12 PM Hash pushes people overboard to drown........my hero ;)
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Fmr President & Senator Polnut on April 10, 2012, 07:57:45 PM Hash pushes people overboard to drown........my hero ;) "There will be blood" :p ... I think his heart will melt and he will end up sacrificing himself for a steerage child... Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Atlas Has Shrugged on April 10, 2012, 07:58:13 PM Likely to get on a lifeboat after all women and children are off.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Lambsbread on April 10, 2012, 08:02:34 PM Would've died trying to save Kate Winslet.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Atlas Has Shrugged on April 10, 2012, 08:03:38 PM Would of died trying to save Leonardo DiCaprio :P
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Lambsbread on April 10, 2012, 08:04:34 PM Would of died trying to save Leonardo DiCaprio :P That's horrifyingly accurate... -skip- Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Napoleon on April 10, 2012, 08:09:17 PM Sneaks on a lifeboat.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: FEMA Camp Administrator on April 10, 2012, 08:13:05 PM From what I hear, he's a one percenter. That said, he'd probably be grouped into the wealthy gentlemen who can afford to spout stuff like "women and children first".
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Hash on April 10, 2012, 08:19:35 PM He's a "child" so he most likely escapes with his mother or something on a lifeboat.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: MASHED POTATOES. VOTE! on April 12, 2012, 04:35:17 PM Hash would be too busy updating his blog to even notice Titanic going down.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Antonio the Sixth on April 12, 2012, 05:01:04 PM He would be too drunk to realize the boat is sinking. ;)
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Lambsbread on April 12, 2012, 06:00:53 PM Turns into an eagle and flies off the ship while "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger plays in the background.
French version: Turns into a snail and slowly scurries off the boat while La Marseillaise plays in the background. Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: California8429 on April 12, 2012, 06:01:44 PM Would die waiting for a lifeboat with his mother.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Fuzzybigfoot on April 12, 2012, 06:13:34 PM Would make it into the boat, since he is underage.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Hash on April 12, 2012, 06:16:01 PM Would frantically try to finish a map of congressional elections in the 1890s in his cabin, and then would desperately try to get a lifeboat but wouldn't make it in time. He'd probably choose to go down, like a gentleman, clinging to his maps. Like every courageous man should do!
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: MASHED POTATOES. VOTE! on April 12, 2012, 07:52:05 PM He'd make to the lifeboat but in a middle of the ocean his fellow passengers would throw him out, after he tried to engage them in a conversation of Carlos Luz's presidency.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Lambsbread on April 12, 2012, 07:57:02 PM Tries to save everyone, but out of drunkenness, he slips and hits his head, which results in unconsciousness. He perishes in the cold, alcohol-free water.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Joe Republic on April 12, 2012, 08:16:23 PM He was the watchman who failed to spot the iceberg.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Lambsbread on April 12, 2012, 08:21:31 PM He was the watchman who failed to spot the iceberg. I saw it, but I was so emo that I just let everyone die because that's an emo thing to do. Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY on April 12, 2012, 09:36:08 PM Underage, but throws himself off the lifeboat 'cause he's emo.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: CLARENCE 2015! on April 12, 2012, 09:39:21 PM One of the officers would shoot him for disrupting the evacuation process
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Napoleon on April 12, 2012, 10:01:22 PM Last night bar fight.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Yelnoc on April 12, 2012, 10:04:54 PM Slips into a lifeboat before it is lowered.

Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: California8429 on April 13, 2012, 02:57:47 PM Sneaks onto a lifeboat.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Simfan34 on April 14, 2012, 12:08:57 PM Sneaks onto a lifeboat. Is too busy helping others get on the boat. :) Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Lambsbread on April 14, 2012, 12:27:41 PM Saves Jon Huntsman, who was also on the boat, and dies in the process.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: The world will shine with light in our nightmare on April 14, 2012, 03:45:34 PM Was too busy watching My Little Pony to care
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: CLARENCE 2015! on April 14, 2012, 03:53:18 PM Unfortunately I think Scott would perish
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Snowstalker Mk. II on April 14, 2012, 04:36:52 PM Lets the women and children first, but when the ship sinks he goes into 'Nam mode and swims across the Atlantic.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Antonio the Sixth on April 14, 2012, 04:56:18 PM He manages to find a place on a lifeboat, but is subsequently thrown out after other people get annoyed by his bad jokes.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Hash on April 14, 2012, 06:17:24 PM He'd find his way to a lifeboat, if only to make sure he lives to see Sarkozy defeated ;)

Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Mechaman on April 15, 2012, 12:18:20 PM Shoots the Captain in the f***ing face, turns the ship around, and finds Greenland. Everybody rejoices.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Hash on April 15, 2012, 12:22:39 PM Gets rip-roaring drunk and fools around, going down in style.
Title: Re: The previous poster on the RMS Titanic Post by: Fuzzybigfoot on April 15, 2012, 11:38:38 PM Walks calmly into the water making its way up the boat deck and disappears. A few days later he is seen walking out of the ocean and onto the shores of Canada, only to catch a train home as if nothing happened. There was no time to be cold, he had to get back to make some more french election maps!
