Introduction It was a dark and stormy night... When all of a sudden a super giant mega tsunami wave swept over your ship and sent you to toppling over into the sea! (oh no!) By the time you woke up, you found yourself on a deserted island... But it looks like a few of your fellow sailors and friends are here too! Let's survive together...(?) Maybe??? How to Play This is a really casual mini-game that's about building stuff from scratch on a desert island. There's no real objective other than to build stuff, role-play a little, and have fun with others. Every turn, you can either (select one): (GATHER) a free resource (x1) (BUILD) a blueprint item by spending resources (DESIGN) a new blueprint by spending 5 Karma (TRADE) resources/items with another player Please use this form every time you make a post: Code: [B][U]DIARY ENTRY[/U][/B]: [B]Character[/B]: lychee [B]Karma[/B]: 1 [B]Inventory[/B]: 5 Driftwood, 3 Coconut, 3 Small_Rock [B]Action[/B]: !GATHER 1 Coconut [B]Story[/B] (optional): Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

DIARY ENTRY: Character: Shelley Karma: 1 Inventory: n/a Action: !GATHER 1 Small_Rock Story: I was shipwrecked! Oh no! Since I am unsure about what to do, for now I will collect rocks(?) Maybe I can make something using rocks........ Can you make a house out of rocks? Will that even work???
DIARY ENTRY: Character: Villain Karma: 0 Inventory: n/a Action: !GATHER 1 Coconut I'm to lazy to write a story, fufufufufu~
DIARY ENTRY: Character: Shelley Karma: 2 Inventory: 1 Small_Rock Action: !GATHER 1 Small_Rock Story: I am slowly collecting rocks. Eventually, one day I will have enough to make a pile of rocks! Isn't that amazing?! An entire pile of rocks! It's not like there is anything else to do on this island.
DIARY ENTRY: Character: Villain Karma: 1 Inventory: 1 Coconut Action: !GATHER 1 Seaweed Story: I just realized a problem. How do you even open a coconut with your bare hands? Do you like throw it against a rock or something?
DIARY ENTRY: Character: Shelley Karma: 3 Inventory: 2 Small_Rock Action: !GATHER 1 Small_Rock Story: Now I have two small rocks! And I'm going to keep looking for more! Anyways, here's my idea. If you take two small rocks and sort of bang them together, you end up with a sharp rock right????? Okay, to be fair, I've never done this in real life, but apparently the Internet said this was possible, and obviously the Internet is the most reliable and most awesome resource out there! I think I will start taking these two Small Rocks and chipping them against each other until it makes something interesting.
DIARY ENTRY: Character: Shelley Karma: 4 Inventory: 3 Small_Rock Action: !GATHER 1 Small_Rock Story: You know, I don't think I need this many Small_Rocks. Anyone interested in trading 1 Small_Rock for 1 of anything else?

Well, I have five Karma now so I get to use magical mumbo-jumbo powers to invent something new!

DIARY ENTRY: Character: Miz Karma: 2 Inventory: 1 wooden_stick Action: !GATHER 1 small_stone Story (optional): Looking around I found a suitable piece of driftwood that could make a decent club... Now to look for some stones that can be used for throwing.
DIARY ENTRY: Character: Shelley Karma: 1 Inventory: 4 Small_Rock Action: !BUILD 1 Sharp_Rock Story: Agghh, my Karma is -5 from using my brainpower to figure out how to bang two rocks together!!! What am I, a cavewoman? (lololol) Anyways, since I invented this method, I might as well make a sharp rock now!
I've added a google sheets page for all blueprints in the game. Players are expected to add their own blueprints to the sheet after inventing something.
