Yeol the Clumsy's stories of random starting conditions (ironman)

[Yeol]

Story 1 - Katrina "Mouse" Graves – "Merciless Desert"

Randy Rough (commitment), Naked brutality,  World seed "StoryOne", World size 100% (normal,normal), first random site, first character

Mouse woke up naked and alone, without anything, in an extremely desolated desert land almost without vegetation or wildlife. First day, she prepared a shelter, a growing zone, and went hunting one of the only two iguanas in the area. She fought and won, tended the scratches and ate her first iguana... raw (no wood for a fire). The second day she went to hunt the other iguana, but the iguana won the fight. Mouse fell wounded on the desert floor, and died a day after... the End.

 Heartbreaking story

[Yeol]

It was to be expected... fate...? The conditions were extreme. Surviving one way or another would be miracleous.

Story 2 - Aleksander "Doc" Fjellanger - "Heatstroke"

Randy Rough (commitment), Naked brutality,  World seed "StoryTwo", World size 100% (normal,normal), first random site, first character

Doc woke up naked and alone, without anything in an Arid Shrubland region. The first days he lived on berries, and ate raw rat and hare meat. He started sowing vegetables en build a small shelter with a bed...

Ten days passed, three people Doc recued and cured. They thanked him, went on, and Doc remained alone. But he got it under controle. His crops were harvestable, a small kitchen was functional. At the eleventh day a heatwave scorched the land. He totally underestimated the severeness of his condition. Doc passed out due to the extreme heat of 53°C during the day, and died during the night...

Story 3 - Lesley "Squirt" Harpes – "Eaten Alive"

Randy Rough (commitment), Naked brutality,  World seed "StoryThree", World size 100% (normal,normal), first random site, first character

Squirt woke up naked and alone, without anything, in an extremely desolated desert land, almost without vegetation or wildlife. He started to sow rice, and build a shelter. He ate raw Iguana...

On the sixth day, crops were growing, harvest was expected in a few days, steel had been mined for the wind turbine and stove... Squirt was going to hunt during the night the last sleeping Iguana. The fight turned out bad.  The Iguana was dead, but Squirt had many scratched, which started to infect immediately. The time he needed to tend his wounds, he passed out. A manhunting Yorkshire Terrier came to eat him alive... The End.

I am enjoying these Yeol!

[Yeol]

Thank you, Jcapp. End it's even more enjoyable to play these random starts. You got extremely lucky, I read in another thread. In the long run, luck cancels itself out, but starting with bad luck keeps stories very short. (but entertaining)

4. Jacob Harpes – "Kidnapped"

Randy Rough (commitment), Naked brutality,  World seed "StoryFive", World size 100% (normal,normal), first random site, first character

Jacob woke up naked and alone, without anything, in a cold tundra region of the world, scarcely scattered with berry bushes and a few trees. He started to sow (but crops grow slow), and build a shelter against the bitter freezing nights. He ate berries, berries and berries...

The fireplace in house kept the nights warm. Crops were slowly growing and expected within a week to be harvestable. All seemed under control, when a single raider appeared: a decent melee'er with a knife. Jacob tried to surprise him, but it was in vain. The knife made the difference. Jacob got severely hurt, passed out and got kidnapped. Never heard of him again...

[Skryabin]

Never heard of him again...

We should make a Missing Person thread. He may be found in someone's else game! 

[Yeol]

Hahaha, who kidnapped my Jacob? Anybody here?

4. Wanda Coffey – "killed by a friend"

Randy Rough (commitment), Naked brutality,  World seed "StoryFive", World size 100% (normal,normal), first random site, first character

Wanda woke up naked and alone, without anything, deep within a boreal forest. Wolves roam the region, insects the nearby caves. It's a hostile world: eat or be eaten so it seems. She prepared a very small shelter against the rain, and started to sow crops. The first day a raider came and she would not stand a chance in a fight, but she outran him. He gave up after a day of chasing her around.



One year she managed to keep things going. She had the usual setbacks to overcome: raids, manhunters, extreme weather, deseases,... Nine people joined, four were still hanging around, alive.
And then arrived destiny in the form of 2 raiders. Normally nothing to really worry, but today was different. Luck turned badly. When the raiders approached the base, Wanda and Larc received them with pistol and bow, but misses were many. First shot of the raider hit Wanda in the heart: 2% left. Second short ripped an arm off. Everyone attacked together the same guy, and finally killed him. The other fled, but managed to set fire to the camp. With the two other camp members being pyromans, Wanda and Larc had to put out the fire also. Wanda went beserk, and wanted to murder someone, and attacked Larc. The others came to try and stop Wanda. With one punch from Larc, Wanda fell to the ground: dead... the End

[Skryabin]

Wow,  I am surprised she even could stand on her feet with 2% of heart left! And outrunning the firs raider was funny (I've never thought you could do that). Nice stories!

Sorry for the late reply on this, but yep that's true. That character that had the good starts colony only ended up lasting a few in game weeks i think. then was promptly murdered by some other string of back luck.
I've since had much worse starts do better.
