Hmm.... it is very isolated being 2816 kilometers from nearest land and despite having a hospital  I read this: On 4 December 2007 an outbreak of an acute viral-induced asthma was reported. This outbreak was compounded by Tristan's lack of suitable medical supplies. Sounds like we'd have to fund a better equiped hospital. Could be good though

[Tsawla Eltu Tsamsiyu]

"This is a fact."

[Fnua Atxkxe]

This could also be a drawback: "All land is communally owned."

This raises an interest question as to our tribes future; "There are instances of health problems attributed to endogamy"

[Letxuma Swizaw]

it could also be our saving grace, however. I don't know if we'll be able to realistically afford land in many places.

[Tsawla Eltu Tsamsiyu]

I agree.

[Fpxafaw Taronyu]

Cmon, be more positive, they need fresh genomes there, the Asthma is from the very first settlers (8 male 7 female) 3 of them had Asthma) we could plan a slow takeover and peaceful of course. there is a school for our possible kids, the Hospital needs to be improved, thats right, but the beauty of these islands... i am impressed, and thats a fact too!

[Fnua Atxkxe]

If we all save for it together, we could afford land, it would take a few years but then that is the plan. It could save us but it would mean we have to convince them. Seeing as they are all descended from 15 people, this might indicate they value their privacy.

I don't see any sort of forest ... I'm wrong?

[Letxuma Swizaw]

It sounds like they would be glad to get some more population, and even more so, a low environmental impact population. They'd probably help us out as much as they could if they knew our intentions. What kind of contact do they have? I want to get in touch with someone there and see what the situation is.

My friends we may have just found our carrot, and we're lucky that it gets to be through diplomacy.

[Fnua Atxkxe]

I hope so, this could be exactly what were looking for. doesn't mention anything about local wildlife though.

[Tsawla Eltu Tsamsiyu]

That could be a problem.

[Fnua Atxkxe]

I get the impression there's very little wildlife there. The article describes how there economy is based on fishing industry, likely they use this for food needs also. On an interesting note the island might share some of the bio-luminesence of pandora : In 1958, as part of Operation Argus, the United States Navy exploded an atomic bomb 200 kilometres high in the upper atmosphere, 115 kilometres southeast of the main island.

Two questions- First off, is that Volcano Active? If so, I am not sure that I would want to live on an island where I could be charbroiled at any minute with no chance of escape.

Second, what is the weather like there? I am afraid that perhaps we would get some sort of oceanic storms coming from every-which way ^_^; Otherwise, it's really a nice place! ^_^

I imagine volcanoe is still active: In 1961, a volcanic eruption forced the evacuation of the entire population to wooden huts in the disused Pendell Army Camp in Merstham, Surrey, England before moving to a more permanent site at a former Royal Air Force station in Calshot near Southampton, England, living mainly in a road called Tristan Close. In 1962, a Royal Society expedition went to the islands to assess the damage, and reported that the settlement Edinburgh of the Seven Seas had been only marginally affected. Most families returned in 1963 led by Willie Repetto (head of the ten-person island council) and Allan Crawford (the former island welfare officer).

[Letxuma Swizaw]

it appears that our diet there would consist mainly of fish, reptiles, and maybe small mammals, if any exist on the island (i doubt it unless they were brought by settlers). perhaps some sea faring birds. Rendering all of our archery work pointless unless we bow fish, which is extremely fun BTW.

[Fnua Atxkxe]

A lot of people might be disapointed with the lack of animals for hunting. I doubt we'd be allowed to introduce any animals into the environment there. I could get used to it but I suspect this could be a downer for some people.

[Letxuma Swizaw]

I think after they field dress their first deer (maybe on our pacific crest trail trip) they won't mind only having to gut fish and snakes, maybe some birds. I on the other hand will be one of the few itching to shoot at some red meat i think so, yeah it would be a downer but just because it isn't exactly our dream tribe we can't put it down.

[d5ive]

From what I can gather from their website it is really nothing like what we are aiming for. from the arial photos it looks like they live in houses with terracotta roofs, there is a lot or farming going on and there is absolutely no forrest of any kind on the island, its a very big change from what we were aiming at and I feel that we may be jumping on their bandwagon from excitement and also because it is sooo much easier to go join someone else rather than start our own up.

Sorry if I'm such a killjoy but it just doesn't seem to be what we are looking for

[Fpxafaw Taronyu]

If its ruled out its out, im okay with that

Pretty close there is another uninhabited island Link where i see some forest ?? This would be our hunting ground where animals could be introduced, and hey, we make long term plans so trees will grow... it takes some time, but they do

The "inaccessible" Island seems to be a good place for the "Hardcore"-Tribe, and the Nightingale Island for the Honeymooners of the tribe...  <sigh> glad to have soo much fantasy..


@ the Aussie, do u know any desired  Island close to NZ or Australia w/o lethal Animals?


Good weekend to you all!

Atan fa Eywa ayngahu!
