Welcome to the island! Or islands, I should say. Take a look at the map and see what's around.
Spoiler:


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

None of you know how you got here. One day, you were just going about your own business in the safety of you homes, when you felt a dull prick on the back of you neck. The next thing you know, you're on this strange island, surrounded by people you've never seen before. Everyone looks confused to one degree or another. To the South, you can see what looks like a large castle. To the North, you see a forest made of trees and brush that look oddly familiar, but you couldn't say why.

At this point, you take inventory and realize that all of you belongings are gone! You aren’t even wearing the same clothes as before. Whatever brought you hear also redressed you in some odd looking white slacks and shirt. You think the design must be foreign. You look around and see that everyone else here is also wearing the same clothes. Why hadn't you noticed that before?

Before anyone can do anything remotely organized, a woman in a floor length blue dress approaches the crowd.
“I am Talia, a Keeper from the temple. You all must be very confused.”
There is a general murmur of agreement from the crowd.
Tailia says, “Each of you has been brought here for your own reason. Everyone on these islands got here the same way you did. I wish I had better answers for you, but no one knows how or why we're here or even where here is. Or if they do, they're not telling.”

One of people from your crowd yells out, “Wait just a second! How do we know you didn't bring us here? I don't see anyone else around!”

Tailia shuffles uncomfortably.
“I didn't bring you here. There's not really any way of proving that though. Look, Cillia is to the South. If you don't trust me, why don't you go there and ask around. But, I'm here to make this easier for you. Follow me to Temple Island and we'll explain as much as possible.”

With that, Tailia turns to the Southwest and starts walking.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, there's some setup for you. I'm ignoring all the actions before this because I said not to submit any. Feel free to start doing whatever you feel like. If you want more description or something, let me know. That won't count as an action or anything.

Yeah, my "first action" was just as a joke.

I think Yuggy is taking things too fast here. I'm going to do this as I think it should be done.

1. Investigate forest to the north
2. Gather firewood
3. Create fire
4. Vote: Shos


What happens if we die? Do we like respawn elsewhere on the island, or are we just dead?

1. Find a piece of stone suitable for the spade-end of a shovel.
2. Find a stick to become the pole end of the shovel. Tie the two parts together with rags from my shirt.
3. Do the same, except make an axe.
4. Chop down some trees.
5. Make a small hut.

In this game, can we make it realistic-ish, excluding magic and monsters and things. For example, you can no longer materialise a turret from up your ass, and you don't get spells by just asking. Building an 'awesome shelter' shouldn't be possible unless you have the materials to do so.

You're dead, although there may be secrets on the island that havn't been discovered yet...

I'm handling this from the 'reasonable' clause. Essentially, complex actions = more difficult actions. I'm also going to be flavorizing most of the actions, so someone can say "Build death star", but it might not work out well.
How much you want to specify and break down your actions is up to you, just know that I'll try to keep things balanced and "building the death star" should be much harder and take longer than "make a shovel".

Sniper, will this be realistic IG Island? If it isn't, I'll start up another game and we can have two games running at once.

1. Swim to the North Island, and start walking/running towards the north east of it
2. Once there, make a shelter in the forest, close to its eastern end
3. Enter the forest and find some wood/stone combination to create a basic weapon
4. Hunt some food with it
5. Start a fire outside the woods, cook food, eat food, profit.

@Flash
Edited my post to address that.

I am hoping to be more realistic, but I still do want a sense of fantasy. People shouldn't need to be worried about every little detail unless they want to be. Your approach might be to make every step an action. That way, all of the actions are easy and less likely to fail. Even if they fail, it's just a small part that you can try again. People who chunk their actions are more likely to fail spectacularly. Play a little bit and tell me if you like the balance, or if it should be adjusted.

Lol, don't worry, it'll be fine to have two games running at once. The game really doesn't take much effort from the player so people can handle two games I reckon.

But you were thinking of making it if this one wasn't realistic? From what I've heard so far it sounds like it will be.

Thoughts so far:
Yuggy's actions aren't going to do that well.
Lol shos, we started on the north island. You should read more carefully.

Hey guys. Actions locked; don't change them. I'm writing the results. I'll have to post them early tomorrow.

As of next round, the max number of actions per round is reduced to 3. You'll see why...

Nobody even wants to talk to Talia?

A note about these actions: This took freaking forever to make. That's why I'm reducing the number of actions per round to 3.
There's about 6 pages of text here, all told. Feel free to read other people's action results. I put a good bit of effort into them.

Kro- I sort of ignored your actions for the moment. It's because my brain hurts. Tonight, I'll be sure to add yours in, and I won't start the next round until tomorrow night.

If there are no animals in the woods, where did that rat come from? Probably best that I not have actions relating to eachother, as the failure of one can ruin the other two, or at the very least make it weird.

Talia never said to follow her, although she did say that if we had any questions we should go to Cilia. I considered it, but decided that I didn't want to do too many actions/have them be all over the place

1. Investigate blood stains/bloody tree
2. Discover an unexpected plot twist
3. Dig a hole in ground

very nice flavour. kudos.

1. Go into the forest and find some good leaf to hold the glass shards in, without getting hurt. if see anything that might be useful in the forest, grab it.
2. Go to the sea with spear and look for fish to try and harpoon/handfish.
3. Do not retry making the shelter near the forest. Instead, give up on finding good use of the forest, and swim to easy island with your spear at one hand, and other things in the other one.

Ok! Finally edited kro's actions in.
Shos and jazz, I'd like you to read his actions and tell me if you want to do anything.
Also, sorry for the crapy situation kro. Random.org hated you for some reason. Before I wrote the flavor for you first action, I had rolled for all of you other actions as well. Not one of them got higher than 20. I was like "...wow."

He wasn't in the forest.
