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. Utahraptors 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
Not necessary, 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.
Flora and Fauna of the Island
Raptors
Raptors of varying sizes inhabit the islands. They cull the weak. but are EZ mode with hundreds of people with in square pike formation who will only get MORE pissed off if they kill someone, now all we need is someone to stand in the pike and lob spears and arrows, fire is good too. It should be noted 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 stelath and speed but, pikes and fire can fend them off.
Haast's eagles
If you think the raptors were bad you have yet to encounter their older brothers. Soaring across the island are massive egles from a bygpone 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. Needless to say watch the skies.
Moa
some of the largest Herbivors on the Island the Moa roam amongst the Low lying coastal Forests and rocky foothills challeneged only by the might of the Haasts eagles that soar overhead. Reasonably docile these ten foot tall ground birds 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 obligate herbivors 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 seeme like a lovetap.
Trilobites
A general lumping of multiple species that all come from the same evolutionary lines. Trilobites come in a variety of sizes all whihc 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 of /tg/ 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 uncomfirmed reports of some species being able to crawl up onto the shore...The best method of disptaching these beasts is the use of a heavy object to smash the hard exoskeleton. Should said exo skeleton be reasonably preserved it can serve as makeshift armor, cooking pots or eating utensils.
Dunkleosteus
One of the most dreaded predators of the island a beast that prowls that prowls along the coastlines and deep bays and inlets This monsterous fish can reach up to thrity three feet in length. A true predator this monster will hunt anything, this includes 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.
