Welcome, people to how-to-survive! This thread is about you surviving in a scenario, it could be stranded on an island, or things like a zombie outbreak.
First of all, I would like to say that THIS IS NOT A RPG GAME! This is something like " what would you do if you were there? " Although it is like a game, we will be talking more on survival tips.
Join by filling out this simple sheet. It's short, fun and easy and you get will track of your achievements.
Name: Gender: SP: Rank:
SP: SP stands for survival points. You get survival points for doing certain things, most common is 'surviving' and you 'survive' by escaping an island for example. Sometimes in a scenario explained later, there are 'challenges'. A scenario writer can decide what challenge he/she wants, but I will be the one to write how many points you will get.
Rank: Rank is something like armorgames' 'wood serf' and such, Just with another name.
Rank List-More will be up soon.... Name Points Stupid 0 points Not-so-stupid 5 points Newbie 10 points Not-so-Newbie 20 points Breathing 50 points Living 75 points Breathing and leaving 100 points
Terms
Scenario- This is a term for a situation that is meant to test a member. These is of all means non-linear, since we need the user to think for himself. Any MEMBER can make a scenario.
There are two types of scenario.
Accidental/more realistic scenarios These are scenarios like being stranded on an island, or a Global Thermonuclear war taking place. Unlike 'mythical scenarios', your items are not handed over from scenarios to scenarios.
Mythical scenarios These are scenarios like zombie outbreaks and Alien invasions. Although I believe that these can happen, I entitiled it Mythical, since I coulnd't think of any other name. Unlike 'Accidental/ more realistic scenarios' Mythical scenarios are more or less generally matched with a previous story/situation that is of the same kind (zombie-zombie, aliens-aliens, mutants-mutants) So you get the supplies you had on the previous scenarios. There are of couse supplies you find in the scenario. There's also generally a map that goes with the scenario, and the writer is responsible for making one.
Scenario writer A scenario writer is somebody that writes scenarios(duh!) To write a scenario you must be a member and play long enough for me to notice and appoint you. Be sure you have good grammar in english, and is willing to give time. If you write a scenario, remember to write what the scenario type is. Be very specific, and do not do things that are very stupid. Also, make a list of challenges to make it more exciting (read challenges section for more details)
If it is a 'accidental scenario' be sure to write the items that you can get( on the landing place ), and make a map IF and only IF the scenario gives you a map. For example being stranded on an island due to an airplane crashing would be most likely you have no maps.
If it is a 'mythical scenario' then be sure to remember that items are handed over from scenarios to scenarios. This could dramatically change your scenario, for example, There is a building and a window two stories up. If you don't want the player to go there, then make sure you have a backup plan, since perhaps the user has a ladder from the previous scenarios.
Challenges Challenges are secondary objectives player can do. It will give extra points. Note that I will be the one to decide how many extra points you get for each objective done.
Scenario status There are scenario status, they tell if a scenario is still open or closed. These would make things more fair for users, since when other players have finished a scenario, they know how to survive in that scenario.
Staff? Well, I don't know, but if this is succesful, I would like to have some staff that would help me.
Scenario writers- Writes scenarios(duh again) Thread Moderator- These are tough guys that would be reviewing this from time to time. They would be warning you if you do something stupid. Vice- If this gets very, very succesful, then he would be like me, doing everything.
Extra note: --I would have loved to place this to the tavern since I see lots of survival threads there, only more smaller. If we could get enough players, perhaps mod will place this there? --Always and always remember this is not a game. You could start a chat with other users, in how to survive a certain thing. For example, a mirror can reflect light which can be used to signal search planes. For another example in a rainforest, you can get fresh water from bamboo, by bending it down, tie it, put a container at the bottom get it overnight, and boil before drinking (this could extremely help in the first scenario
First scenario- more realistic scenario
Being a gym instructor, you were instructed by an English man to go to England. From the United States, the plane you were riding crashed. Everybody is dead, The radio is out, and you landed on a deserted island, everything around was salt water, and it is a rain forest. There is nothing of specific in the plane, just the normal plane items(metal bars, chairs) Tell me what you will do for the first two days
I slowly wake up thinking we finally landed at England after this dreary flight. I immediately notice things are wrong very very wrong because theres a tree limb in the middle of the aisle that punctured the planes bottom and broke through the top. After a few moments of wondering what happened I realize the plane crashed and everybodies aboard is dead.
Now I look for a mirror from a passenger and find one twenty minutes later. So I decide to climb the tree limb onto the top of the plane and put the mirror on the the top of the plane facing the the sun so it deflects off it. I go back inside the plane and get a metal bar for defense as well as finding a match box on a passenger. I enter about 100 meters into the rain forest carefully making sure I don't run into dangerous animals. And by luck I find a sleeping bunny and bash it's head in for food later (I'll cook it with the matches and for water I'll suck on rocks and such since they have food in it. I then gather leaves and bamboo sticks to make a canvas type material out of it (with mud as cement). I climb a tree and tie the canvas between two sturdy branches. And test it's safety with my bunnie's carcass and it stays up. I slowly climb into it and realize with relief and a few groans it holds my weight. So for the rest of my life (until help comes) I stay near the forest entrance and eat bugs and suck their blood liguids for survival. I also search the rain forest a little at a time (so I don't get lost) looking for a rive and what do you know I find one :P
The first two days are simple. I go into the rain forest, not far in, and grab a spear size stick. If none are to be found I attempt to knock down a sapling. Then I would use a rock or a piece of metal from the plane to create a several point spear. Then I would fish in the ocean using my spear to get fish. Finally, I would build a lean to and fire pit, and water collector for the fire and steam. Then I improve my lean to in my spare time to keep my from going insane.
Wait, do I have to do this all over again? Or do I get to keep my 7 points from the original thread?
Keep it, Take it as a bonus
Name:Enti Gender:Male SP:0 Rank:Stupid You have some spears, which can be used for hunting fish. Can you reprase the few last lines. I do not know what a lean is :P

Why not.

For the next few days I go searching the rain forests for long, big and sturdy pieces of bamboo that are durable. I'll then put it out on the beach and find some strong vines to tie them together. I'll get my canvas type material and tie it on my raft. Until I'm confident that it is very strong. Next I look into the clouds and out onto the surf and find it very clear. I next say my prayers find some rations (tie them down on the raft) and launch into the sea with a bamboo stick for a paddle.
Exactly! How do you find that stream of fresh water? Do you just walk 'til you find one, or are you going to make a strategy into it? That is why this is a 'how to survive' so 'how do you find water?'
Day 3 You still coudn't find any food and water. Your found a bananas, good scoring food for a week!, There are though, still no water, your parched......
You made the house, good! It should protect you from natural calamities for now.
Day 4 You explored the area, But you didn't get anything pretty much, since its just pretty much repeating. You found a stick, and you used your finger nail to make it sharp, that was not a very good idea. Your finger nail broke(the whole fingernail) OUCH!!!!! you bandaged it using a piece of cloth.
You can, but remember to remove it as we change scenarios
You used the bowl, and you once again ventured into the rainforest. There were no animals that were small enough you can attack. IIIRRRGHHHH!!!!!! If only you know of something edible in the rainforest that was easy to kill, you can eat that! If only you know of that something...
