But the oldest have all the knowledge and experience. Without them the tribe won't survive.

the old ones are just oxygen suckers. Put the world out of its misery. Top them all off...and do a couple of extra just in case there are any unexpected deliveries.

I think it comes down to this: Is the islander's willingness to live within the limits set by the leader stronger than the drive to reproduce?

I cannot believe that I have to be the one to say this. I am very disappointed in you "deep-thinker" Cellarites.
Just kill 100 of the pregnant women.

Seriously, I thought the point of HP's scenario is that the 1,000 person population limit is when they are using resources to their maximum anyway. Any population over this will lead to resource depletion and an Easter Island style disaster. As for sailing of into the blue in the hope of reaching somewhere else ... that would (a) require an enormous amount of resources (wood, provisions) and thus deplete the island even further, and (b) lead to the colonists having a slow painful death by thirst and starvation rather than a (presumably) quick and humane one.

No, I don't think you're stupid. I was just worried about how he might react when if he sees your post... "haven't you listened to ANYTHING I have said EVER?"
