I wish only to entertain, and failing that, to provide a valuable moral lesson.

If I was going to be stranded on an island in one of those Hunger Games/Battle Royale/Most Dangerous Game type of situations, there'd be a number of things that would worry me, but even more worrisome than how I got there or where my luggage was this time would be which strategy to pursue, because everyone except the winner is only going to get one

The plan I've always had falls within your second strategy. I do hope I could befriend a lion or some other wild creature after losing sanity in hopes that we could go ride through the vegetation and sandy marshes, spear-throwing at the leftovers. Perhaps some sort of cannibal holocaust. I highly doubt I'd eat them, dead or alive, but it depends on how far away my sanity is.

Luckily, I've heard that lions are particularly loyal and easy to befriend. And once you've traded in your sanity for a more feral and instinctive consciousness, you could become the Lion Girl, raised by jungle cats. You know that story "The Lady or the Tiger"? By the end of the competition, if someone opened a door and you were behind it, there would not be a discernible difference.

Can I commission you to write the next Hunger Games book?

P.S.: Re: your post title -- mission accomplished!

If I did, it would just be the sentence, "Ohmagod, ohmagod, ohmagod -- ARRRGGHHHHH!" followed by two hundred blood splattered pages.

These are good plans.

what about food

[mmmrorschach]

Food, generally speaking, is good.

I think that strategy would net you second place for losing with the least amount of effort. The Most Graceful Loss as opposed to the guy who crawls two miles with his guts hanging out only to get his brain pan stomped flat by the guy he asks for help from.
