"I hope you realize that's a foot or so too short."

[Ad Bot]

[Falcondude]

"Yeah, can't you climb a foot or so?"

[Bushido]

"Here? Heck naw! The sides of the pit are slippery. Trust me, I've tried jumping up there already; There's no way to get a firm grip."

I go back to notching that ladder in the log. I'm actually maybe 2 or 3 notches below the top of the hole, and the ladder's almost completed!

[Bushido]

I've been wondering what you guys think of my little forum game.


So stop making me wonder and tell me what you think of this.

[Jsk2003]

I wake up and find out that the fire is still not out! Excellent. But so I don't waste logs, I put out the fire, I don't need it until night time.

I get up and walk out. I realise that I should get a real bed instead of the cold cave floor. So I decide to get these vines and bamboo. I firmly place 2 bamboo in the ground at a reasonable distance. then I start using my boy-scout-knot-skills and start tying the vines into a hammock. When I am done, I test it out and get on top of it, EXCELLENT, it doesn't break! It's very comfortable.

After making my bed, I go outside and decide to find a good walking stick...I look for certain types of trees. But alas, I find no walking stick. But I found a good straight stick, perfect for a spear if I find a good head.

Accomplishments: Made bed, found spear staff.

I love this. I can imagine it being a fun little crazy game where we build houses in one second with no wood..but you decided to make it into a cool storyline community game. I love this...

[Sheezy]

*hears screaming for help in the distance*

Hmm, I better go follow that.

(some time later)

Well, the screaming is leading me this pit... That bushido and some other guy are in.

:(

[Sheezy]

Oh and bushido, update the community store and my accomplishments, I made a treehouse with a fireproofed roof and I found a way to fireproof things. Plus I put the remaining of the special fireproofing mud in the community store.

[Bushido]

"We aren't screaming, William."

And by total coincidence, the ladder finished a few seconds ago, and now I'm contemplating the rest of the storage pit's structural design. One thing is certain; I'll need a beer bottle.

[Sheezy]

"... Then what the hell was I hearing?"

"Well, I could help a bit, just let me get my climbing shoes on"

[Bushido]

"I think you were either hearing a dead wolf, something falling, or your getting 'Island Fever'."

A few seconds after my initial escape from my pit, I jump almost instantly back in against my better judgment and grab my knife-blade-thing, the remnants of the bear and ox, and a few sticks and bones.

After I start skinning the bear and ox completely, I have just enough furs skinned to cover the top of the pit, and than some. Springing into action I stab three of the five bone-spikes that I have into the ground, stretching the fur over the pit. Than, stabbing the last 2 about two feet away from the log ladder, I create a kind of tarp that serves two functions; A roof for the pit/shelter, which already is several functions in itself,and is a trapdoor into the pit.

After a few seconds of further thought, I manage to replace my old, semi-flimsy wood-and-vine handle with a new, less flimsy solid bone handle, by stabbing the blade into a femur. Although now the blade is less visible, it's alot more firmly stuck to the handle.

[Sheezy]

"Oh yeah, and I have this mud for fireproofing to put in the storage pit."

[Bushido]

"I don't think you can store mud.. We'll have to find a use for it, or a liquid container to put it into."

Almost instantly after mentioning "Liquid", I spring into action, and I promptly leave for the beach. After maybe twenty or thirty minutes, I come back with a three plastic bottles, and for some reason, a few lengths of metal pipe, along with a large mass of clearly useless junk, like scraps of plastic and rubber.

Freakin' litterers.

Found; A Few Plastic Bottles
Found; Some almost-useless litter
Found; A few metal pipes

[Sheezy]

...
How the hell do you think I carried it here?

[Copa]

*In a cave with some food and a dead bear*

*Eats some fruit*
I have food for only 2 more time
Skins the bair to have "Bear skin"
Cuts the Bear skin to make:
3 Hairy Sacks
And "Backpack base" All i need now is some string to make it a useable backpack

Got; 3 Hairy sacks and Backpack base
Lost; Some fruit

Night's fallen quickly, and judging by the darkness outside I'd openly suggest it's about 9 o'clock, a good time to go to sleep for the night, and be awake and ready to potentially maim any animal I need to. But, before I go to sleep, I notch a quick mark in one of the logs that keep the pit shelter stable, to mark down the first day of being stranded. As I drift off to sleep, I begin to remember what happened today...


     03/18/X6

    Today, a few friends, strangers, and I got trapped on an island. Most of us were unscathed in the shipwreck that landed us here, except for one of us who got a broken arm. He's fine now, though, his arm is in a splint and he's living happily in a cave somewhere near our camp. Luck was really on my side today; I found logs, companions, created a shelter, and found food, but I'm not sure how tommorow will fare. I mean, we're on a remote island, probably somewhere in the pacific, with no way back to civilization.. I suppose it can't get much worse than that, and the Lord was kind enough to have pity on us. Wedge got alot of good ideas today, and made a water purifier out of a coffee can, a camera bag, some sticks, and I think a lens. I also had a few good sparks, and I created a fire maker, no pun intented, and William made a great flashlight to use for cave spelunking. I also found a very shiny raw metal today, while I was making my shelter; It's really nothing like I've ever seen before. It's green, shiny, and almost transparent, while still being more solid than my stone knife. I suppose that doesn't say much because my stone knife is, in fact, made of stone, but I guess it really doesn't matter.

All in all, I can't say today was bad. If anything it was a great start to the undeniably grueling ordeal that we're almost sure to have. Our luck may change for the worse or the better, but we'll make it through, hopefully.



_{...I suddenly feel alot less manly.}

Luckily, today's ordeal is done, and I can peacefully go to sleep.



Day One completed!

AAAH! SAPPY LOG ENTRY AM SAPPY! It almost came out like the end paragraph of a really awesome, but somewhat saddening, novel!
