5 races on a desert island con't

The original question from a previous thread was: If a Mithra, Hume, Galka, Tarutaru, and Elvaan were stranded on a desert island and had to resort to canibalism to survive, who would be eaten?
I've taken the liberty of assigning each race with their "traditional" starting job:
Mithra - Thief
Hume - Red Mage
Galka - Monk
Taru - Black Mage
Elvaan - Warrior
Assuming that no one wants to be eaten this will inevitable turn into a five way free-for-all where the first one to go down is the only one that needs to die. So how's this gonna shake down....
The Galka's gonna run straight for the Hume and start pounding away for all those years he spent working in the mines. The Hume is crafty though and realizes he doesn't need to win, he just needs to survive till someone else dies so he's gonna start buffing like crazy. Though, he might run into some trouble when he starts worrying more about flirting with the Mithra than keeping the Galka off him.
Meanwhile, the Taru says something cute before retreating to a safe distance, leaving the Mithra and the Elvaan to duke it out. The Elvaan is delighted by the opportunity to purge Vana'diel of one of its "lesser" races and after the first few swings of his scythe the Mithra realizes her evasion isn't going to last long against his greater strength and hit points so she calls for help. The Taru responds to his ally's call and starts nuking away from inside the bush that offers no actual protection but he has none the less chosen to hide in. The Elvaan quickly loses intrest in the Mithra and starts charging toward the Taru.
This leaves the Mithra free to ultimately decide who dies. (go vote now)

elvann's Suck... those darn arrrrogant obnoxious turrrrrrds. An arrow in the back would do him right...
But... How can you resist a SATA Viperbite into a target so large you cannot miss. I vote for Galkakabobs!.

I think I would kill the Elvaan,
a few reasons.
1. Taru arrre our allies, so we help each otherrr.
2. Tarus don't arrre small so don't have much meat on em.
3. The rrreason Gwynn gave
4. Let the Galka have fun with the little hume, we will eat him when food runs out.

I do not agree, sorry.

(My opinion here; getting on soap box, look out) I believe Windurst oppresses our race and keep us slaves to their design. The only need they have for us for is as a military strength. But in case you haven't noticed, they are building machines to do our job for us. As soon as their robots armies become fully functional it's goodbye and good luck to the mithra, don't let the gates shut on your tails on the way out. In the Windurst government's mind the twenty years of having dirty, smelly, mithra in their city is long enough. Notice the Windurst flag? Is their any symbol for the mithra on it? No, only the five stars of the five Tarutaru tribes. So, it will be good luck and good riddance. That is why I moved, to San d'Oria. Yes, Elvaan are the most conceded, arrogant, stuck-up race on the planet, but they received me with open arms and gave me propose that I was unable to find in Windurst. They value me for the warrior that I am.
But, on the subject at hand, I would kick that smelly, greasy hume right in the crotch and enjoy every second of his pounding. Anybody who knows me knows that there is nothing more then I hate more then being hit on by those bastards! I would also tell the Elvaan to come watch because the debate between the lands from San d'Oria to Bastok are greatly debated. And since eating the hume now proves to be the easiest target he would come over and help the Galka.
Now, why the Elvaan would attack me . . . hard to say, I would say that since he so quickly switched targets from me to the Tarutaru that he has nothing personal against either the Mithran or Tarutaru race, he is just hungry and desperate, choosing easy targets to satisfy his selfish hunger.

FINALLY someone else sees the truth! I'm alone no longer! That's why mamma and daddy left Windurst for Bastok. They were welcomed with open arms, and since i began my career, Bastokans welcomed me with grace dignity and honor... so i remain
Bastokan and Proud. Though galka keep chasing after my tail... so i still would like to SATA one.
I wish i could change my vote to nardkicking.

*Crawls back into her corner and puts on dummy hat,
makes an extra mental note to serve rrroast taru to her parents this christmas.
Is that so, since I'm from San d'Oria I wouldn't know ^^;
Anyway I keep my statement that there's too little meat on the Taru to survive for a while.

I'm partial to not harming elves, considering the fact that I'm getting married to one.

Let them all annihilate each other and repopulate the island through parthenogenesis.

Parthenogenesis: The production of new individuals from virgin females by means of ova which have the power of developing without the intervention of the male element; the production, without fertilization, of cells capable of germination. It is one of the phenomena of alternate generation. See also, virgin birth.
{Hmmm.
} is that how we do it Tam?

So many chioces, and no refrigeration.
Personaly I belive the Taru of Windurst are taking advantage of our frustrated materneral instincts and protective nature. I do not see this as a bad thing at all.

Well all they do is sit around and complain about other races... so they must be tender... and you know in the fortress that they're well fed, so all that food they each has to flavor their meat just a bit.
But I still say kick that raunchy hume in the gonads and allow the Galka BF to pummel him.

I wouldn't eat an elvaan. They live in that castle Sandy Oreo and theirrr moats consists of waste water. Ever fish in Sandy Oreo moats? You can catch a 3 eyed fisssh therrre.
That could explain why elvaan look so deformed.

Hume gets the swift kick to the nards. I don't care if the Taru dies I can move from Windurst to Kazham. Elvaan gets double teamed by me and the Galka and of course because the Galka is the tank i can finish him off after the fight with the Elvaan. See now everyone dies but me!

Your ideas intrigue me . . . I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I'd wait for everyone else to kill themselves off and live on a diet of roots and pineapples on my little desert island. Oh. And there would have to be rum somewhere.
("But why is the rum gone?!")

ack, you caught me.

i thought i did a better job of hiding it, but yes i was full of life... just a short time ago, i gave birth to fraternal twins. i named them Hekah and Ekah

you'd be amazed how fast mithra grow to maturity. they are already out of the mog house and living on their own in Bastok and Sandy, respectively

i'm so proud of them

Hekah has shown an interest in smithing and Ekah seems to have woodworking talent. i'm sure they'll both be great successes
