/g/'s doing it why don't we.

Everyone on earth is killed except for the people who have been on 4chan in the last 24 hours.You get the choice to kill yourself, or you get 10 minutes and then you're teleported to a subtropical island populated by the other people of the board you frequent most often with the objects on your person (what you are wearing and holding).The other boards are alive and on different places of the archipelago. So, naturally, the populace depends on the continents.The Earth's atmosphere is no longer fucked up, and all the resources on the Earth have been restored to record levels. Long-extinct plants and animals live once more, although the island would have a limited large predator population.Moot is dead, and we don't have means of communicating with other islands. The boards with <20 people are randomly distributed amongst the bigger boards.

How do you think /sci/ would do?

tl;dr - Earths fucked, 4channers teleported to this archipelago, taking only what they're wearing and holding.

I think we all leap ahead of survival a bit too much in our other threads. We go from finding water and building a shelter to forming alliances and creating a society.

In between, we'll need boats. I propose outrigger canoes with sails. They're perfect for what we need them to do.

Someone will need to bring plans, though. I'm not keen on building them based on trial + error.

I'm assuming we have no power on this archipelago.

I'd start by gathering a few essential survival materials - some sort of blade, rain gear, shelter, cooking materials, etc.
After that, if we're planning on rebuilding the world, I'd bring some books (not ebooks) on mechanical/structural/electrical engineering, medicine, the sciences, mathematics, a reasonable amount of history, and so on.

If there was any room left, I might bring some literature in the hopes that not all culture would be destroyed by the wrath of 4chan.

/r9k/ers will scream and try to grab any female passerby's breasts then realize hope is still futile and jump into the shallow icy river

/fit/ will try desperately to save the /r9k/ers but the waters will freeze their bodies and they will die too

/adv/ers will run around commanding everybody but /b/tards would just mix in their own bad advice to troll

/new/ would argue which river, the left or the right one, should we build our villages, then they would get into a argument about free markets and government

/fa/s will try to make beaver skin fur hats but then realize it doesn't protect them from -40 weather and they will die slow, painful, agonizing pretty deaths

/g/ will construct a machine capable of transmitting electricity at a rate of 12 volt but /jp/ will scream EEEE AKIII HERESEE!!! as they spot the machine and will pile onto it and sacrifice themselves like the brave kamikaze pilots they are

/h/ would frantically try to create porn of every person they see while /i/ would help them sketch it in vivid detail

then /wg/ comes by and takes photographs using paper coated with salt of everything going in to submit it to future progeny

/int/ will try to settle differences but their pleas for calm and silence will be squashed by /mu/'s droning metal symphony

/d/ will just stab themselves with porcupine dicks while /sci/ hurriedly tries to revive their fallen weird faggot queers

and it will be left to /v/

who will just eventually say fuck it and press the reset button

Day 2: The first technocratic /sci/ congress is elected. Dwellings, the Congress Building, facilities for manufacture and commerce, and the greatest place of learning on the 4chan Isles, the Great Library of /sci/ are constructed.
Day 3: The first flying machines and ocean-worthy vessels take to the air and sea. Mining has begun in earnest, and the Earth is carved with Roman splendor

Day 7: Sustainable fusion developed, research on Dark Energy continues

Day 13: /sci/sland finds itself in a state of economic abundance; food and other worldly goods can be replicated from energy; currency abolished; quantum computing is perfected

/tg/ and /g/ are our bros. /k/ would be a nice ally, but I think every island will try to suck /k/'s dick, so we might just set up our own team and it will be fine.

/b/ will be insanely dangerous because of its overcrowdedness and anarchy, they will send raids to everyone.

/v/ and /r9k/ won't have a long lifespan, they'll just cry when they realize no one cares about them and they will kill themselves out of depression (unless /b/ turns them into sex slaves).

/new/ and /int/, especially /new/ would be awful and nightmarish places to live in, people there are seriously batshit insane. Besides they'd be very agressive. I think we should form a coalition with most of the sane boards and try to destroy these boards before the plague spreads.

Porn boards will be neutral and nobody will mess with them because everyone will need to fap from time to time. They will probably control the whole economy (since the currency will be probably porn-based).

i'm an ee and have been working on some battery backup and robotics projects recently. I could have a bin with ~1000 watt-hours worth of Li-ion batteries, some big stepper motors to fashion into windmills, dc-dc supplies, my netbook, and a couple hundred watts worth of high power leds plus a shitload of various components and uCs. we could have lighting at night and a functioning windmill power system online in a few days at most.

i think i could fashion some sort of water pump and filtration system as well assuming there was a fresh water source to pump from.

but fuck it we'd be razed within days by other boards, i'd probably just choose to die.

anyway where we left off, we fo sho have an alliance with /k/, /new/ is our mortal enemy.
we'll conquer the islands of the other boards by supplying a product,weed/cocaine and lace it with tobacco or concentrate it with nicotine. After that we get the people of the other islands hooked by poisoning their food supply with the weed/cocaine laced with nicotine so become dependent on our product which we will trade for resources of the other islands. Therefore we shall control the spice, and the rest of the known world.


Now commence formulating a plan and making new alliances

Look at the distances between islands. We'll be insulated by distance for a while, nobody's closer than 30km. With that sort of time, we can build up some suitable defenses for our central base.

A 8ft deep, 8ft across pit lined with wooden spikes, with archers on our side with slits to fire through, we'll be good against most of our neighbours.

Actually Nitro-glycerol loots moderately feasible. Get some animal fats melt then and heat them with NaOH which can be made from burnt wood. From that glycerol you'd need to nitrate it. That will require the production of the NO2- nucleophile which requires concentrated HNO3 and H2SO4 to do... I'm working on those bits...

What will most likely happen:
/b/ will do nothing productive really, most will die fast due to being fat neckbeards, a few will survive (simply as there are so many) and may make a small basic society.

/g/ most will die due to being so unhealthy beforehand and having no knowledge of the real world.

/k/ would bring guns, probably have a reasonable amount of real world survival knowledge, but will probably kill each other mostly before doing anything.

/v/ would be just a worse /b/

/r9k/ would all die even faster than /b/, many an heroing.

/adv/ would probably make a basic hunter gatherer society, but unlikely to develop much at all.

/fa/ would get killed by /fit/ at their first chance, and would be unable to fight back.

/fit/ would survive well, form a good strong hunter gatherer society, and probably manage to make some simple machinery, but not develop much more.

/lit/ would pick berries and read each others books.

Realisticly, we could probably build simple batterys within a few months of find metal, it would then take about a year to construct a good motor, I then predict we could make more very quickly and load them onto boats, true it would be at least 2 years until we build them, but that's quite far ahead of the other islands.
