A map of the 4chan archipelago. Each pixel is 1.5km^2

A series of threads outlining a hypothetical situation in which anyone who has posted on 4chan in the last two weeks is teleported to a desert island (corresponding to their most frequented board) with any equipment they can grab in ten minutes.

The OP

Everyone on earth is killed except for the people who have been on 4chan in the last 2 weeks.

You are given the choice to go or kill yourself. In 10 minutes you are teleported to a subtropical island populated by the other people of the board you frequent most often. The objects you are allowed to take are what you are wearing and holding, your weight is the maximum you can carry.

Other 4channers are alive and on different places of the archipelago.

The atmosphere is pristine and no resources have been depleted. The flora and fauna are Earthlike, with the exception that major extinctions have not happened and that no plants or animals are domesticated. Raptors inhabit all of the islands.

Moot is dead, and we don't have means of communicating with other islands, with the exception of enough premade boat on each island to comfortably carry 1% of the population.

The RP Quest thread

None of you faggots responded at all, so its pretty clear no one cares about this shit really.

  • Either that or this setting would not work as a quest thread. A Wurm Online mod would be ideal.

Archipelago Features

Solar panel caches

Suggested, but deemed unnecessary, Entirely useful and a possibility, but all we really need to make electricity is a magnet and some copper wire, I have both sitting in my house. not exactly a thousand jigawatts, but pretty damn easily make on our own,

Disease and aging

Its been suggested so far that people who have diseases and conditions will be more or less miraculously cured upon entry, and traps and /t/rans/g/endereds will receive free sex changes to curb the unreasonably large Male:female ratio, nothing has been said on aging so far

Boats

Each island has a very small cache of boats. These are the only way to get to the islands of other boards, as they are too far to reasonably swim. Islands in the sub-archipelagos associated with single boards are not generally outside of swimming range for particularly fit individuals.

Size of the archipelago

The original proposed size was 10,000 square kilometers (for the entire map, seaspace included), but that is clearly too small to support the kind of population that these islands would have. A more recent proposed figure was 9,437,184km^2, which is more reasonable. This puts /tg/ at approximately 47,000 km^2. This also puts the world at a considerably smaller size than earth (about 200 times smaller) how/if this affects gravity or if there is more uncovered map/ridiculously large amounts of water have not been explored.


Major Fauna Fauna of the Island

Raptors

There are two major types of raptors running around. The smaller seemingly non threatening velociraptor(about the size of a large turkey) and the larger Deinonychus(Think the ones from Jurassic park) which are eight to nine feet in length and solitary predators. Nasty brutes for a small group due to their stealth and speed but, pikes and fire can fend them off. The largest (/b/) island has Utahraptors.

Haast's eagles

If you think the raptors were bad you have yet to encounter one of the native birds. Soaring across the island are massive eagles from a bygone era. Their diet normally is comprised of Moa and other large flightless birds, but people are not off the menu. With a wingspan of up to nine feet in width these great hunters soar overhead with surprising grace. Their preferred method of attack is to dive from the sky dropping down onto their prey with claws outstretched. Tackling their victims they will quickly tear apart the throat of a vital area causing the victim to die from bloodloss. Needless to say watch the skies.

Moa

Some of the largest herbivores on the Island, the Moa roam amongst the low-lying coastal forests and rocky foothills. They are challenged only by the might of the Haasts eagles that soar overhead. These ten foot tall ground birds are reasonably docile and roam in small herds or as solitary animals. They nest amongst rocky areas that have large quantities of pumice which they hollow out to form nesting sites. Not the brightest among birds, they are herbivorous, and so long as not overtly threatened will pose no major threat. Should you do so however be ready for a kick that will make a horse's seem like a love-tap.

Trilobites

A general lumping of multiple species that all come from the same evolutionary lines. Trilobites come in a variety of sizes all which are armored and segmented. The little buggers have proven to be an excellent food source for anyone on the coast and might serve as the basis for future fisheries. They thankfully pose little to no threat.

Sea Scorpions

Swimming amongst the waters are some of the most fearsome insects to ever have lived. Once again a general term for a collection of species, the sea scorpions range from anywhere in length to a few mere inches(a tasty treat actually) to something over eight feet in length. There has been unconfirmed reports of some species being able to crawl up onto the shore...The best method of dispatching these beasts is the use of a heavy object to smash the hard exoskeleton.

Dunkleosteus

One of the most dreaded predators of the island a beast that prowls along the coastlines and deep bays and inlets This monstrous fish can reach up to thirty-three feet in length. A true predator, this monster will hunt anything, including boats and the people aboard them. Noted for its massive armored face and jaws this beast is one of the new leviathans of waters of the world. Currently there is no reasonable way to kill these creatures. Your safest bet is too simply run.

Wombat

One of the most unexpected sights was the wombat. These little guys roam across the island foraging and avoiding predators. Proven to be a surivivor these little guys might someday be tamed for pets or for food stock till then. Well we have wombats. Eat up.

Thylacoleo

The thylacleo or pouch lion is a brute found hunting the lowlands. Almost as large as a lion, the creature has a retractable thumb claw, clawed paws and semi-opposable thumbs. Its tail is able to be leaned on much like a kangaroo and it is known to climb trees taking its prey with it. An elusive hunter be wary when in forested areas for it low growling calls and vicious temper.
