This spawned out of one of the many late-night/early-morning conversations I had sitting around my kitchen table last summer. I kept meaning to write it down, but I never remembered when I was actually near a computer. Now, nine months later, I can remember maybe a quarter of the guidelines, but I thought of it today during my bio tutorial, so I decided I might as well record what I do remember.

The rules for our island utopia:
-Though the utopia was founded by scientists, we welcome you crazy, crazy Arts kids.
-However, there is to be no arguing about which is superior, arts or science
-Claiming your work is superior to others because it's more practical will also get you tossed (you goddamn engineer)
-Attire for scientists: lab coat, and for the vision impaired, the old coke-bottle style glasses. For the non-vision impaired, lab goggles. And I don't mean the neat Bono-wraparound style of goggles - the big, thick, silly looking ones.
-Attire for those in Arts (you have no good collective noun): togas and masks - I think you get to design your own, but it's been a while.
-Necessary bureaucratic duties (ie, making sure we have food and don't all starve to death) will be rotated - there will be no set formal government.
-The main form of punishment was being expelled from the island by way of being tossed in the surrounding ocean - there were some harsher ones that I think involved fire and/or attack penguins, but this may be wishful remembering on my part.

This is less than half of what we had, but I really can't remember more. If they suddenly come to mind, I'll post them, I guess.
