I cant see democracy working at all. As someone said we are a very opinionated bunch. I can also see a kind of Lord of the Flies scenario.
Some will be predisposed to take charge, probably the strongest, fittest and biggest bullies, follower and weaker types will rally around them for security, soon a sort of hierarchy will form and an enforcement of that power structure.
Most likely a good portion of the group will not be content with this set up and splinter off, preferring to live more communally. The two groups will raid each other frequently, the former gaining on the latter most often, being the more brutal, the latter more productive since more time will be spent constructively instead of in power clashes and infighting. Violence will undoubtably occur, to what extend will be how long we are stranded. Id give one year before someone is executed under mob law.
Female to male ratio will be a concern, the men competing with each other, possibly getting ugly.
Some will pull their weight and more, others will slack; also whos sleeping with whom and percieved wrongs will cause gossip and discontent. I reckon a few who get sick of us all will go off to live in caves by themselves or in smaller groups, fairing relatively well if they have the survival skills.
All that being said, I'd most likely self appoint to organization of a large communal kitchen, (noone else has volunteered), making pots, gathering of food, water and medicinal herbs. This is my strong suit and in my experience a well fed group is happier in the long run. I also have a strong enough personality to not be gotten over on about food rations, maybe even training a group Amazon style warrioresses to protect the food supply.
I could help the medcal staff with healing herbs and hopefully find something to help us attain a higher conciousness and touch upon our internal spiritual selves from time to time.
For those I know here somewhat I think most suited to these tasks: all in good fun.
Wertz as judge, and jury! Tough but fair justice.
Abs as Supreme Court , can overturn Wertz with veto or lesser punishment.
Km Southern and Paladin Elspeth in charge of child care and birthing.
Jaime as school teacher with Eeyore as her assistant. The only way the kids will learn anything thats not propoganda for right or left. Good strong values.
Amlord could be mayor, just a token title to make him feel good.
Victoria S. and whoever else was mentioned as medical staff. Victoria also oversees that noone bathes or pees in the water supply. She haz her vays, punishment vill be cruella.
Cruising Ram as psych advisor, we could build a crazy hut and let him play all day with the nutters, healing them eventually. Hopefully expansion will not be needed if hes worth a damn.
Ultimate Joe as mediator in disputes and fitness director.
Curmudgeon as storyteller and old guy with timeless wisdom. ( Hopefully useful?)
Cyan as neighborhood beautifcation coordinator and general arts and theater management and holiday planner.
Mrs Pig Pen is with me as Amazon protectress of food supply and maybe eventually jailhouse warden.
Nightimer in charge of fair housing depending on work ethic, and a weekly or monthly newsletter.
John Locke in charge of the bar and other vices. ( He knows how to brew moonshine I heard and has a cuban cigar connection)
Author Musician, Rancid Uncle in charge of musical entertainment and parties. Rancid Uncle can also serve as Shaman.
Mike as technical engineer and otherwise left unbothered to piddle with gadgets and misc projects.
Rev Del Fuego in charge of marriages, chief delegate to keeping the rescue fire burning and Spanish lessons, just in case.
Conservpat, Hugo and Goamerica to continually remind us that we are Americans and keep our values in order, as they progressively disintegrate overtime. In charge of remembering important patriotic holidays and American history. Possibly war chiefs against cannibalistic natives.
Platypus can lay around and look good to eat eventually, or teach us how to fish.
Billy Jean as Christian priestess, and reminder that pop music will still be around when we return to our comfortable homes. Also Halloween and gay/lesbian discussion group coordinator.
Quaarkhead will be a one man think tank and philosophizer, trying to figure out how to get us out of the everliving hell weve got ourselves into.
Beladonna will be in charge of being our Helen of Troy. She will just have to remain beautiful and give any warriors something to fight for. She will eventually have her own Temple for those of the pagan sector, birth many beautiful island children which all will care for since noone will know whos-whos father.
Dontreadonme will be in charge of keeping one American flag in perfect condition, so they know who we are when rescued and weve succombed to only grunts and ughes and are all so hairy we cant be recognized as humans.
Moif would be general voice of reason, peacekeeper and charity worker. He would be our inspiration to be better people, until we got sick of him and killed him for food.
All will do kitchen duty and clean up in rotation under penalty of starvation under my tyrannical rule as Excecutive Chef!
(Sorry for anyone I forgot that I shouldnt have)
