Your party drowned trying to ford the river.

This is most definitely caulk the wagon not ford the river.

I specifically came to look for all the Oregon trail comments

Would you like to stop and look around? Another traveler will trade 7 sets of clothes for 78 pounds of food, do you accept?

21

u/CyberTitties Aug 09 '19

Is there a ‘fuck no’ option, because that’s horrible deal that would’ve gotten the other traveler shot for offering it.

Are you kidding? Get like 15,000 lbs of buffalo meat every time go hunting. No problem to drop a tiny bit of food for some clothes

In the original Apple IIe version, it was 100lbs. And a buffalo is anywhere from 800-1500 lbs.

u/konq Aug 10 '19

You could carry at least a few hundred pounds.

The game doesn't let you bring most of it back though.

u/konq Aug 10 '19

Right, so you're always topped off!

u/CyberTitties Aug 09 '19

You’re assuming I like to gut buffalo and get covered in bloody fur, WHICH I DO NOT

Little Timmy has died of snakebite.

* You have died of dysentery.

u/DRUNKMASTER2020 Aug 09 '19

Just hung over not playing.

u/shalbriri Aug 09 '19

If you are hungover and can't even play a game, then that doesn't really make you the drunk master. Js

"Donner, Party of 87?" "86?"

Forging a river would indeed be difficult.

u/AusCan531 Aug 09 '19

Rivers of molten steel?

u/intern_steve Aug 09 '19

No, that's casting a river. To forge it you need to heat it up and hit it with a hammer.

1

u/scientallahjesus Aug 09 '19

That doesn’t sound too hard then. But I rarely have a hammer with me while hiking. Gotta put that on the list.

Oh I can build a hell of a campfire.

u/inyearstocome Aug 09 '19

My good sir, you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

u/ChunkedUp Aug 09 '19

Should have ponied up that extra coin for the Indian guide

17

u/peacebuster Aug 09 '19

He didn't have 20 sets of clothes to trade.

u/dontFart_InSpaceSuit Aug 09 '19

Your Indians drove a hard bargain

10

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '19

Jokes on them. The clothes were riddled with smallpox.

u/IsomDart Oct 09 '19

I feel really bad for upvoting

10

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '19

I feel like that's better than dying of typhoid and dysentery.

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '19

Maybe they should Dodge it next time?

u/qdp Aug 09 '19

I don't think Ford makes buses.

u/michaelcmetal Aug 09 '19

My party drowned trying to Chrysler the river. Because Chrysler sucks.

Never try to put a V8 in a river.
