Well, this is very difficult...
I've been pondering the question while reading through all six pages of answers and am still no closer to deciding...
This is usually the point where "It'd be impossible to chose just four out of everyone" type sentiments would always be trotted out. While that might be true, it's also a vain effort to please everyone and offend no one- which is a fool's burden that is far too cumbersome to attempt to carry any further....
Sooooo, here goes (in no particular order)!
~
@jordanbillie - a very philosophical and interesting character who I'd enjoy conversing with and would have a thoughtful influence on us castaways.
~
@lyudiko - utterly sweet individual who not only is a pleasant person to chat with but could also probably do with some beach time
away from it all in the sun.
~
@Shells - CC's kind-hearted and personable moderator who would probably be the
most unlikely member to cave my skull in with a coconut.
~
@Nafor - Where's the enjoyment of rivering a straight flush if it
isn't beating someone else's
turned full-house? Have learned to avoid calling it a 'boat' on the island to circumvent four people simultaneously attempting to coconut-labotomize me... The Donald to my Gladstone.
~Special Mentions~
Decided to remove our dearest darling Admins from the equation for various reasons (would have chosen all three immediately otherwise) but fortuitously in my storyline the reason we are stranded on the island in the first place is because a CC cruise ship meet-up went catastrophically wrong after PirateGlenn emptied his blunderbuss into the captain, comandeering the vessel and immediately steered us directly into a tropical iceberg... Thankfully as the five of us paddled our lifeboat to the desert island shore, we were overjoyed to see Debi, Tammy and Martin unpacking and organising the various supplies and mixing frozen margaritas under the shade of the lime tree (immediately adjacent to the hamilton beach blender bush [conveniently]). What a stroke of luck! 🍸
~
@whiskers77 - one of my closest CC friends who has always been measured, kind and supportive towards me.
~
@Aballinamion - super cool and kind Brazillian dude who would be lots of fun and helpful in such a situation.
~
@Ron112355 - another one of my all-time CC favourites but would keep far too detailed records and statistics on the island games which eventually would render him unstoppable.
~
@fundiver199 - would choose this gent in an instant but fear he would insist on me studying instead of focusing on the frozen margaritas.
~
@alienat3d - a dear friend who has sadly been inactive for quite some time but always enjoyed his presence and vibe.
~ Marc, Suns of Beaches, Juan, Andryeas, Edison, najisami, billiboo, fletchdad, riffraff, jaymfc, luvepoker, Poker Orifice and many more would gradually swim ashore over the following days too...
The list is not exhaustive, I could and would go on...
See? This is why I just can't do these things...
Too many to mention really, if you're reading this and I missed you out, don't think I don't love ya- I do!

- this average joe (or whatever his name is nowadays). As with previous one then also have some "unfinished business" with Tr4cid.
Guess this answers how my story ends...
Of all CC members Risto is the last I'd expect to have chosen me as one of their four selections but it seems he has done so in order to bash me over the head with a coconut!
