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.

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."

Would be one of the last ones above water as the stern went under...would then succumb to hypothermia

Gets on a lifeboat by stuffing his shirt with toilet paper breasts and hiding his Adam's Apple.

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.

Likely to get on a lifeboat after all women and children are off.

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

He's a "child" so he most likely escapes with his mother or something on a lifeboat.

Hash would be too busy updating his blog to even notice Titanic going down.

He would be too drunk to realize the boat is sinking. ;)

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.

Would die waiting for a lifeboat with his mother.

Would make it into the boat, since he is underage.

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!

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.

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.

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.

He manages to find a place on a lifeboat, but is subsequently thrown out after other people get annoyed by his bad jokes.

He'd find his way to a lifeboat, if only to make sure he lives to see Sarkozy defeated ;)

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!
