About Supply Drops

Welcome, to Project Reclaim. We hope you enjoy your stay here on Sterry Island.

Supplies are dropped down to the Island roughly every 2 weeks. Usually, there will be an announcement shortly before supplies are dropped.

This blog will make a post detailing everything that has been dropped in. During this time, food, water, and med kits will be rationed out to all residents of the island. All the rest of the supplies are free for the taking. Reblog the supply drop post saying what exactly you’re taking. There may be limits to how many of a certain item you can take, for example “box of matches (x20)” could be limited to 2 boxes per person. even if 5 boxes were dropped in, you could only be allowed to take 2. Supplies are first come, first served, so if someone else snags supplies before you, you might have to trade to get what you need. Sharing is permitted and encouraged, trading is permitted and encouraged, for the time being stealing is not condoned or allowed and will not be recognized as a valid way to get supplies. Any time you acquire or lose supplies, remember to update it on your supply page. Below are links to some examples.

You’ll also need a designated section or page of your blog to keep track of your supplies. Below are some ideas, but as long as you update it as accurately as possible and its clearly linked on your blog, other ideas could work too!

About Exploring and Interacting With This Blog

Welcome, to Project Reclaim. We hope you enjoy your stay here on Sterry Island. 

To explore, you can send this blog a Message or a Submission in the form of a paragraph starter explaining what you’re doing and where you’re going. You could also make a post in which you tag this account. You could even reblog one of the location-specific posts if you are exploring that area. Below are some examples. If you’re sending a message, making a post submission, or reblogging a post, your starter should follow a similar format. (Obviously your writing style, details, and etc. will be different. This is merely an example so you understand how interacting with this account will work.)

Post:

Stella gets up early and walks out to the forest. She’s going to get some exploring done today. In her bag, shes packed 2 water bottles, a tin of food, and some rope, along with her trusty grappling hook. Walking through the forest for a ways, she notices a suspicious plant. She decides to investigate it, @exploration-guide

You are free and welcome to include images or gifs of your faceclaim anywhere in your text. The most important thing to include is “@exploration-guide“ when you’re making a post. It can go anywhere in the post, as long as it’s there. It is not necessary in messages or submissions, and optional on reblogs.

Please remember your character can not take with them, or use supplies they do not possess. Remember to keep track of your supply list accurately.

While you’re exploring, you may discover new and useful materials, find plants or animals that can be eaten, get into an accident, or even discover a new place. 

The exploration guide works much like any other character blog would, except our character is Sterry Island. If the island is doing something, this blog will report on it. Anywhere from weather events to supply drops.

The Forest

The forest hasn’t been explored extensively, so not much is known about what is here. There are many many trees and plants available for use, some plants may be useful. There may be animals here. There may be a creek or another water source here.

The Plains

The plains have many small plants and the potential for small animals and other creatures. Who knows what you will find. It’s a very open space, so it’s not hard to tell when someone or something is coming.

Overgrown Downtown

In the now overgrown downtown region, there are dozens of buildings in varying states. Some are still structurally sound, some are nearly piles of rubble. There are a lot of plants here, some may be useful. Exploration may reveal some useful buildings or other resources.

The Abandoned School

The abandoned school, despite its dilapidated appearance, is still quite structurally sound. Some unidentified berry bushes seem to be growing around the entrance. The library seems mostly intact, there could be some useful books inside. The science labs still have some rudimentary equipment, but most of the chemicals have been spilled, are expired, or are missing. Some of the textbooks are still intact, anyone who knew what they were doing might be able to make use of the equipment here. (’Intelligence’ increases chances of success). The gym also has some intact equipment that could be used for training (chance to gain ‘fitness’ strength). There is no running water anywhere in the facility. Exploration may discover supplies elsewhere in the school.
