So as I've told some of you, I have the ability to teleport. And the past few days I've been using that ability to explore the island a little. I've found a lot of beautiful beaches, and more waterfalls, and coves that look good for fishing. I've also found some places that look good for settlements in the future, depending on how quickly our population grows.

My question is - do you think we should stay where we are, in the main campsite for now, and spread out only when we need to, or should we start another settlement? I'm not exactly sure how far it is because I didn't walk it, but from what I can tell about the shape and size of the island, it couldn't take more than an hour to walk it.

Separating into two groups is a surefire way to make things a lot less peaceful around here. If we're not all working together, there will be jealousy and infighting.

I don't see why that's inevitable. We're going to have to spread out as the population grows anyway.

It's human nature. I've seen it up close and personal.

Sorry to hear that. But we're still going to have to grow here.

I used to be able to travel swiftly enough that it seems like teleporting.

While no one is obliged to remain with the main camp and can certainly strike out on their own, we are trying to build a central society/community. Expansion is inevitable as we receive more people. Perhaps this is something that could be addressed at tomorrow's bonfire.

I'm not trying to say that any of us should secede or anything like that. I'm also not saying we shouldn't stay with a central community. But we're going to need more room eventually, and my main question was whether we should do it when we need to, or in a more orderly manner before we need to.

Secede. Interesting choice of words. We aren't a government or sovereign nation.

All good questions. Again, I recommend the bonfire for the discussion.

Are you sure about that? We certainly are trying to form a society, and while we don't technically have a government at present I'm pretty sure that we fit a lot of the definitions.

Two encampments are a lot more difficult to secure and create infrastructure for. It's to our tactical advantage to keep it to one camp at this time.

What do we need to secure against?

Wild animals, potential enemies, natural disasters, sanitation against disease. There are a lot of concerns when you have a growing encampment of people.

No offense, but seems like you're being a bit paranoid.

And this is coming from someone who was raised to be a lot paranoid.

Personally I think we should stay where we are for now. The time might come when we need more room but at the moment we're not crowded and there seems to be plenty of space for all of us. This does give us the option though if we need to expand later.

Hey, I'm not building wagon trains or whatever. I just wanted people to know what I've found.

Oh I know that. I'm glad to know that someone's been out looking around. It helps to be aware of what else is out there.

It's always good to look ahead.

Well yes but there's also unecessary looking ahead? Knowing we need to and being ready to do so if the need arises but I imagine we'd just keep building structures as more people come to make the main camp larger?

I think we should spread out as we grow instead of doing so now. Being centralised means we can share things, help each other easier etc.

How many people are pregnant? We're growing quickly. Granted, we don't have to do anything now, but in time it's going to be something we're going to need to discuss.

That is true but we can expand outward instead of new sites. I just think it might be safer to have the one community instead of separate ones? We could always build one or two structures out that way if people want to take well holidays or something?
