The tribe must create a no man's land area on the island.
Its quite possible they dont even understand the concept of what a no mans land actually means...no mans land is a concept of the civilized world and this tribe are not a part of that, so its not outside the realms of belief that they wouldnt understand what it is ye want them to make. Encouraging them to change to accomodate idiots is the same thing as trying to educate and integrate them. Maybe its us who should change to accomodate them? Or is integration the way to go? Its worked out so well in the past just look at Hawaii ^

From the sounds of it, they already have
For my part, I took the titles read in the press.
Wasn't intended to be an attack on yourself (though I suspect you know that
), just one of those things that bug me about the media in general.Z...
about a religious person crossing borders with some unfortunate consequences, I reckon it might be very complicated in this thread, just in case I'm signing off now.

They are probably unaware of those risks though. I wonder what is their concept of the world, its size, and how do they explain what they see from us (plastic garbage floating into their island, helicopters, etc.).
I'd dearly love to see this attitude extend into the game, too.
I can't speak for other Americans, but if this guy showed up on my yard after I told him not to come back (he had been there several times before) and tried to convert me, I'd have shot him too.
What would you have people do, annihilate this tribe for wanting to be left alone?
They perceive all outsiders as threats, and they don't know how precisely right they are. When the outside world finally does intrude, it will destroy them.

I wouldn't bet on it. It would only take one or two incidents of outsiders coming into contact with the tribe and them getting ill for there to be a shoot on sight rule to be put in place. They don't need to understand what viruses are to get sick after all.
I'd be absolutely fascinated to hear how they view the outside world. Those Bruce Parry programs where he lived with various remote tribes in South America were really interesting.

It is odd seeing the disparity between the way certain posters in this thread are treating an actual death in real life vs. Someones demise in a computer game.
You mean quit moaning about dying?
Oh, it's not that bad. I firmly believe 99% of Elite players have this attitude. Those two threads a week, here, mean nothing.
Their behaviour stems from how they were treated many moons ago by the British.

Possible that if they shoot outsiders on sight that they might have past experience of outsiders and it wasn’t good which then explains perfectly what happened.
Possible...maybe even likely in this ever shrinking planet ^

The guy Is clearly a self righteous idiot. It's well know that the islanders defend their territory against all visitors. Also their lack of immunity to the rest of the worlds diseases means he could and in fact still can wipe them out with an epidemic. The arrogance he has demonstrated is impressive.
It's a darwin award if you ask me.

Its the disease risk that annoys me more than anything. Its cool if you love Jesus and all, but try doing that without risking the lives of other people.
+1. It was extremely irresponsible and self centered to risk killing so many of the already dwindling population just to get his opinions across.

How was he expecting to communicate with them?
Pretty sure the tribe speaks their own language, with nobody but them understanding it.

Haven't you watched Star Trek? Everyone speaks English.
