Title: Hypothetical rNd nation.
Post by: cogsandspigots on July 18, 2012, 06:25:17 PM
After having an extensive conversation with Snivy/Death M.D., I have decided to take an experiment that was originally done on 4chan and convert it to rANdOm.

If you want to see the conversation, PM me.

This nation would completely cut off from the rest of the world on an island. No contact with the outside world.
However, the island would have all necessary natural resources.

What we as a community need to do is this:

Create an economy, develop or abolish social classes, form a working government and military, and have each member of the community on a specific job.

All topics are up for debate, but final decisions will be made from a majority vote.



To start, I propose that the new nation should have a direct democracy as a government. Direct democracies work by having all government decisions made by a majority vote from all citizens. This is the most effective form of government with small populations.

Have a democratic type of way of preforming actions for around 50-100 people sound fine, but as for a 5-10 people group it would require less time to gather necessarily materials needed in which case each person who seems fit should be assigned a role and able to preform or do anything within the bound of that role without any further permission needed to be granted. While if they go outside of the bound a punishment system should be start (as in 1 mistake; Slap on the hand and let free, 2 mistakes reduced amount of excess food consumed AKA less snacks, 3 mistakes result in temporary banishment from role and is assigned to jail/ assisting another person with their roles.) But if they are a major role and reach 3 mistakes, they should be replaced with a more suiting figure.

If we're cut off from the outside world, we wouldn't "need" a military. An army is for national defense (or attack but i vote no), so all we'd need is a competent police force.

As for the small militia, I really don't think that should be a big focus. Just get five-ten of our more competent and able bodied men to protect food stocks and other important items from the occasional thief trying to get an extra meal.

What type of island are we on? I'll be damned if it was a british isle type island but if it is a tropical island then that would be okay. Growing food such as grain, fruit and vegetables is a must. Fish is plentiful (hopefully not poisonous), maybe a family of wild pig live on the island on which we can raise to be farm animals to provide meat. Not be being bigheaded by iwould love to the guy in charge of agriculture.

Before choosing a democracy, I think we should first make sure that we have all the basics to survive (Shelter, food, etc.)

I think we should all assign the members of rNd (or the island) a role. It could be being a farmer, a doctor, etc. This way, we could all prosper which would allow us to then focus on more important issues to set up a strong community.

   Perhaps it would be a problem at first, but over time we would probably change because we would have to in order to maximize our chances of surviving.     
   
   Now seeing as everyone sees government as our top priority, I really don't think that it should matter at first, because if this would happen I really doubt that we would steal from each other since we somewhat know each other and we all would need all the help we could possibly get to gather supplies, make tools and build our homes.

Our first priority should be to gather our bearings and figure out what kind of an environment we're in. Along with that, we would need to look at what sort of life the island holds, including animals and plants. While we're trying to distinguish edible plants from poisonous plants, easy game from dangerous animals, we would need to get a stable water and food supply going. Since we're on an island, the only real problem is figuring out how to purify the ocean water and remove all the salt.

I could see the problem with population. Birth rates would be extremely low, and very slow, but with the amount of girls there are there shouldn't be a need for incest. If it was just one girl, then yeah, I could see the issue.

      Also agriculture and livestock is a very important thing as well, and even if they are there(animals that is), is there a high enough supply of them to last as the population increases? If not then we'd probably resort to eating a lot of farm produce (depending on the fertility of the ground), fruits from the native trees and/or fish. The lack of certain animals would also mean there would be a lack of certain materials to make certain things. Like for example, I really doubt there will be a dairy cow/pig on a random tropical (Then again, I am not exactly positive of the climate of this island), but since this states all resources are there, lets just say there is not a high percentage of them. If they run out, that takes away meat, leather, milk, etc.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


     I honesty don't think we could last too many years with out some sort of importing and exporting, unless we want to risk endangering the species living on the island. There is not a definite size of the island, and what other resources there could be that could help avoid this from happening, so we might be alright. There would need to be some heavy exploration, that's for sure, because even if we have all necessary resources now, that doesn't mean they will be there forever.

   Yes it is not impossible, but there are also important things that we do need that come from animals, not just meat and higher amounts of nutrients (cholesterol and high amounts of protein). That also brings medication, different climates can bring different diseases in which we will need to protect ourselves from. Animals can help with that (not saying plants can't either, but there is a difference), but will we have the knowledge to make these medications and save peoples lives. It's just as Snivy said, just one death can drastically effect the population with how low it already is.

I am sure when you have a low population you don't really look at it as being whores, you look at it as being a contribution. You're not doing it for the money or the pleasure, but to help the community. I wouldn't have said what I did if I thought it was downgrading myself. I would be using a skill of mine that the other 100 members do not have, and that is producing. At least that's how I look at it, I am not sure about the other girls.

Quote
In conservation biology, there is a concept called "effective population size". This is the minimum number of individuals that will represent the genetic variability within a population. Fifty is a minimum commonly used by animal breeders. This gives about a 2-3% loss of heterozygosity per generation. Some have suggested that 500 indivduals is enough so that the the new mutation rate balances the loss of heterozygosity due to small population sizes (inbreeding depression).

Also, it's degrading because there's no love involved in this, they have to do it with different guys. Companionship would die. There would be no couples, just groups.

This is true seeing how some us of can neglect reproducing with the first population and there's at least a chance of getting 10-15 girls from the next generation if at minimum each women produces 5-10 children.

Doing so would have no traces from first generation therefor First can produce second and third, and first can produce with third and second can with fourth.

Eventually there wouldn't be a loop as each would branch off into different family trees.

I don't think so. It was said before, we're so diverse and from all over the world, after a certain time period, there won't be much of an issue with kids. We'll get the unlucky one every now and then, but I don't believe it would be common.

I understand what you're saying. And it's true, there won't be much love involved with this if any, but as much as I hate to say it, it becomes an obligation sooner or later to the human race.

This is not completely true. I could still find someone to love, while providing a service as a female. With the circumstance I am sure my spouse wouldn't mind, it's for the sake of survival, and I wouldn't have to do it forever.

You're looking at it in an emotional perspective, instead of a survival one.
The thing is that not everyone is willing to be a swinger. Some people are going to put their emotions over that. It's going to cause jealousy. Jealousy breeds hate. Hate brings out the worst in people. There's going to be tensions within the group, and something bad is bound to happen. It's just human nature, and people can't stop their emotions.

I don't think so. It was said before, we're so diverse and from all over the world, after a certain time period, there won't be much of an issue with kids. We'll get the unlucky one every now and then, but I don't believe it would be common.
I don't think you read what I pasted. According to that, it would take 500 people to make sure no one is inbred. We only got around 60, which 90+% of them are guys.

This whole thing is a incredibly risky game of chance.

I would say it would work if we had access to another established tribe of people. Or even if we had every chick that has ever played in a RND server. Or even the whole GMOD community.

I'm just saying that the gene pool would be as fucked up as the country people in Deliverance.

Actually, no. If some of the children are females then there is no problem. Since the father doesn't have to impregnate the daughter. (an other person can do it.)

Here's the hypothetical situation.

Everyone on earth is killed except for the people who have registered accounts on the forums.

You get 10 minutes and then you're teleported to a subtropical island populated by the other people of the community with the objects on your person (what you are wearing and holding).

Other GMOD communities 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.

Garry is dead, and we don't have means of communicating with other islands. The communities with <20 people are randomly distributed amongst the bigger communities.

You don't see to understand that there will be a problem with genetic code by the fifth generation. This is VERY complicated to explain, but I'm going to try to make it less complicated.

The numbers in the first generation represent people, beyond that, it represents their genes.
   
Generation 1
                       
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Generation 2

12 12 34 34 56 56 78 78

Generation 3

1234 1234 1256 1256 3456 3456 3478 3478 5678 5678

Generation 4

12345678 12345678 12563478 12563478 34781256 34781256 56781234 56781234

Generation 5

???????????

As you see, by the fifth generation, we're back with our relatives by default. This allows genetic diseases to go wild. It doesn't matter if they have 2 or 10 kids, it's at a stopping point at the fifth generation gene wise.

the only real problem is figuring out how to purify the ocean water and remove all the salt.
1. Dig a hole in the sand by the shore until you hit water.
2. Put a bowl or other container in the middle of the hole.
3. Place plastic wrap or similar material over the entire hole sealed by sand over the edges.
4. Put a small object on top of the wrap to weigh it in a downward angle at the bowl.
5. The seawater evaporates, forming pure water on the plastic wrap.
6. The now fresh water then slides along the underside of the plastic until it reaches the middle, dropping into the bowl below.

You do realize how painfully slow of a process that is and the number of people that will be supported by that. A better way is to just boil the water and collect the steam, same process but faster.
