**notprop**

1] Hurley
2] Campbell
3] Barrel o' Gin.

3-4 fun filled days followed by slow inebriated sex filled starvation + death.

ooooo, is it too late to include a wish you were here post card to send to jealous mates cos I aint leaving the Gin behind!

**chaplaingrabthar**

1) Luxury apartment, fully furnished, powered & plumbed, also has 'net connection.
2) Details of a Swiss bank account with $400B balance
3)A willing and naked Salma Hayek covered in whipped cream

**JohnHwangDD**

3 girls? No thanks, but see below:

1. 1 set of hawt, nubile twins
2. video camera to record the activities with the twins
3. who cares, I'm doing twins on video!

**CitizenPrime**

I have to protest the whole electricity and cable thing. The whole point of being stranded on a deserted island is the the thought of going without, or Ruffin' it. If you have electricity, cable, food, and any 3 things you want, you pretty much have that now, except for the extreme requests. So this is really more of a what 3 things do you want most.

I'm just sayin'.

**JohnHwangDD**

As the OP presented it, it's a tropical island getaway "vacation".

**CitizenPrime**

Ok. I stand corrected.

It's just the best banishment ever.

**dogma**

1) A gorgeous female masseuse; probably of islander heritage. Must keep the decor consistent.
2) Massive amounts of alcohol of all sorts.
3) A computer with internet access, in case I want to order a different masseuse.

**Albatross**

OK, so I skipped through Garret's post - sue me.

I would still bring Tea-bags. Twinings, since you ask...

Acoustic Guitar.

Laptop w/internet. For Dakka!

**CitizenPrime**

Tea bags? Tea bags?

That's what we do to the new guy...

**Albatross**

You teabag him?

That is the straightest thing I've ever heard.

/sarcasm

**Orkestra**

Huh, so what you're saying is that not only do I get a luxurious island getaway for a year at no cost, but I get to pick any three things that may well be beyond my means?

I'd wish for more wishes.

I mean... I'd bring three more coupons for island getaways. (Or, according to the OP, three more girlfriends. Oooh, that actually sounds quite nice. But it'd have to be two who were interested in each other and me, and one who's jealous. Keep the jealous one on a different part of the island, then introduce them on the last day. BAM - Island getaway. The other two would probably come with, so I'd still have three wishes... I mean 'things to bring')

**Nightwatch**

1) DAKKA!
2) barrel of monkeys
3)accordion to annoy the heck out of all of you on the island next to mine

Wola purge across the galaxy. Why play with small angry bald men if you can be one

Your power armour has a spear attachment? How quaint. Is it for catching fish?

Me? Net, books, paint & models. No island would be remote enough to save me from the wrath of Mrs. Spiggott if she found I had three women on there.

I'd have a crack at making giant stone heads, that'd pass the time.

**Nightwatch**

Which later, some fool would come and look at, and then make a tissue box out of.

**Dreadwinter**

1) A Raptor
2) Jesus
3) Video Camera

**Callum**

Asumming it's the "Lost" Island and I can't get off of it even by boat. I would bring...

1. A pistol or rifle, with ammo included of course.

2. Something to help keep me sane and pass the time, a novel maybe.

3. Water Bottle.

**mattyrm**

1. Massive crate of minis. 2. Mega paint set. 3. Brushes and sculpting tools. Sometimes i think you guys forget the real reason were all here. :-)

Every deserted island I ever heard of required you to have electricity made of coconuts.

I guess Tom Hanks REALLY got screwed on his choice of deserted islands

**SilverMK2**

1) Loads of sculpting/casting supplies and tools
2) Computer with internet conenction
3) my 360 and games collection (I currently play my 360 through my PC, so no need for a TV

).

My non "serious" 3:

1) Stargate + facilities to work it
2) Power armour w/weapons + equipment to repair/maintain it
3) Fully automated genetic reprograming system.

Sorta coppied all that from the previous page and added my own tweaks, but it is still a good list

**barlio**

1) Guitar with necessary cables, extra strings, pics, etc...
2) Huge, sweet Amp
3) How to Play Guitar book

Hey I figured if I got a year I may as well use it to learn metal guitar.

**J.Black**

1. A giant capacitor that will take exactly one year to reach maximum potential (say, 10^15 farads); thus allowing me to threaten to reverse the polarity of the Earth unless i get everything i want.

2. Jammy Dodgers.

3. A good book.

**Mattlov**

A small plane that is invisible to radar, with a bomb door.

Accurate flight plans for the Vatican.

And....

An Anti-Pope.

**SilverMK2**

That is 2 people (off the top of my head) who have asked for a single book to keep them entertained through an entire year.

Is it just me, or is that not enough book even for an afternoon on the beach?

**J.Black**

Yes, but i forgot to mention that the book is sellotaped to Winona Ryder and a bin-liner full of cocaine.

**SilverMK2**

Now that would be a fun afternoon at the beach.

You could read the book whilst feeding a coke fueled Ryder to the sharks

**J.Black**

All part of my evil plan

Well, crap. At that rate, I'd simply ask for a fully-functioning STC system, and I'd be planetary dictator within a day of my year ending...

**SilverMK2**

But an STC is just not as fun as wading knee deep through alien corpses.

Although I suppose an STC would enable you to construct all of the above (except the stargate), and more besides...

An interesting choice that I had not thought of.

**JohnHwangDD**

With a fully-functioning Dark Age of Technology STC, you realise that I can create power armor, robots, semi-sentient AIs, self-replicating factories, etc, right?

**garret**

Then all you need is an army of natives to the island. Hmm?
