Colony - Post-apocalyptic "reality" show coming to Discovery - General

Eh, The raider part doesn't look that good.. I mean it's not like they are going to be given weapons, for obvious reasons, they might has well just have left that out. Also, It would be more interesting if it was half a group or normal people, a couple of really smart/useful ones, then some retards. And it looks more interesting than deadliest catch.

[QUOTE=RichardNixon;16069877]How many retards are in the world, I'm talking about average people, the pricks sitting in cubicles all day or that guy working in a fast food restaurant not scientists or engineers. Have fun watching a bunch of arrogant douches dick around in a warehouse for ten days.[/QUOTE] D.E.A.D. This is a few days in. Only the smart survived, or were usefull enough to be kept around. If you put a bunch of every-day cubiclies, nothing would happen and it would be boring.

I wish there was a nerd guy there saying "I played Fallout 3 I know this!!!"

[QUOTE=RichardNixon;16069577][b]Gayest shit evar![/b] They're specifically getting people who know how to do shit, this can't even be called an attempt at an experiment, it's just reality television! [i]I want random selection god dammit![/i][/QUOTE] It's actually those people who are more likely to survive the the average run of the mill joe. So yeah, it kinda does count as an attempt.

That doesn't mean nothing would happen though, there would be attacks and theft, people would vie for power, and scavenging would eventually turn up fruitless forcing them to attempt to steal from others, invent a means, or perish.

I dunno I like how the show looks.

My Idea is they give them airsoft guns (Paintball guns would look too unrealistic) and load them with paintballs (For the camera, the camera itself wouldn't pick up bb's flying at 400 fps, so they need paint ones so that they at least splatter on contact so you know who's been hit.) Anyways, considering how this is all roleplay and whatnot, they should 'intercept a radio transmission' that they are going to get attacked in ~2 hours, and they have that time to find scrap to build fortifications. After the time is up, a bunch of people charge in with as little coordination as possible, to make it be fair. I haven't put much thought into this, but it should work out: Defenders: [B]Fortifications, coordination , but less people[/B] Attackers: [B]No Fortifications other than random things on the field, minimal coordination (aka they are only told [attack these guys] the only plans they can make up are on the fly, because they are not briefed on the surrounding area, so they don't know what to expect), However they attack en masse, with a massive horde of people, (But worse guns)[/B] Would be fucking epic.

Since when?

Since ever [url]http://www.speedytoys.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=50[/url] [editline]11:50PM[/editline] [img]http://img.redwolfairsoft.com/img/beginner_img02.jpg[/img]

Same idea as oil storm, which is awesome too

In before "I'm not here to make friends."

This sounds like it'll be pretty interesting. But, one thing. What type of viral outbreak? [sp]zombies?[/sp]

They all look like they're posing for their band pics

Reality shows = fail, manufactured drama sucks, and this reeks of it.

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;16070758]Reality shows = fail, manufactured drama sucks, and this reeks of it.[/QUOTE] true, I really hate reality shows. But Canada's worst handyman/driver are pretty good shows. So is Cash Cab. Although I wouldn't call those reality shows.

[QUOTE=STREWTH_99;16070671]This sounds like it'll be pretty interesting. But, one thing. What type of viral outbreak? [sp]zombies?[/sp][/QUOTE] Some kind of disease.

[QUOTE=STREWTH_99;16070671]This sounds like it'll be pretty interesting. But, one thing. What type of viral outbreak? [sp]zombies?[/sp][/QUOTE] Don't be daft they're aiming for something that's possible in reality. I don't suppose if there's any plans to show it in the UK? Also also, it's not a reality show it's an experiment.

It sounds a bit scripted what with all the raiders and shit

I'm pretty excited for this actually. I mean with all the shit that's on the other channels, Discovery has been doing a good job of actually make good TV.

i bet u get pwr armar if u win a contst. just liek in dat gaem fallot 3 It's like fucking Survivor but in a goddamn parking lot. "What will we ever do now that we're the remaining survivors on Earth?" "Go to Burger King, I'm hungry." "It's right across the street too!" "Wait! You have to square off with a [i]bike raider gang[/i]."

Finally a show I might watch!

I'm pretty sure it will end up like that one biosphere where the "survivors" sneak out and grab some McDonalds or something.

[QUOTE=onox37;16080365]I'm pretty sure it will end up like that one biosphere where the "survivors" sneak out and grab some McDonalds or something.[/QUOTE] Discovery should kill anyone who tries to leave.

Why don't they use that old island coal mining city that was abandoned?

would love it to be zombies. I know it isn't but still ..would be epic

[QUOTE=Rapetacular;16069520]Everyone looks so frumpy and ugly.[/QUOTE] Like normal people? Only problem is that there aren't any useless people, if there really was an apocalypse there would be way more useless fucks.

[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;16080696][img]http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/colony/bios/images/amy-west400x300.jpg[/img] You're telling me this fucking thing is female?![/QUOTE] She actually isn't that bad looking. But I suppose you only want to have sex with women who look like Paris Hilton. [editline]03:50PM[/editline] Oh, I forgot, the only women you people have ever seen nude had names like Kandi Suxxx

[QUOTE=Lankist;16080759]She actually isn't that bad looking. But I suppose you only want to have sex with women who look like Paris Hilton.[/QUOTE] I do know a lot of people who look a lot better. Her brow and nose make her look manly. And I find Hilton unattractive anyway. Each to their own I guess.

[QUOTE=AwpersAreBad;16080407]Why don't they use that old island coal mining city that was abandoned?[/QUOTE] Too dangerous, lots of the structures are WAY too unstable, but if that wasn't the case, it would be awesome.
