''We Are Shipwrecked On An Island'' started as a forum game, to be a serious, survival game after the Our Plane Crashed Into an Island thread devolved into silliness and absurdity. It is currently under RP's and is lead by @/{{pvtnum 11}}. It was intended to be a play-as-yourself type of thing, but some leeway has been given.

Can be found [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=y9y6ttkjg3ku5tg67gup4qdc&page=1 here]]. Has pretty much passed into stalled status, as we might have written ourselves out of useful plot. Ah, it was fun while it lasted.

Background: A handful of Tropers managed to end up on a budget cruise ship in the South Pacific, touring the French Polynesian Island group, when a rogue wave collided with the ship. As a safety measure, the crew put the passengers in lifeboats, but managed to become separated from our repsective families or groups, and ended up together. The situation went from bad to worse once the life boats and life rafts were actually cast off from the ship, and the life raft became separated from the rest. A day or so later, the raft washes ashore on the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maupihaa Atoll of Maupihaa]], on the southern tip of the eastern islet.

For the trope related to characters being shipwrecked on an island, see {{Robinsonade}}.

The following characters were present in the raft when it came ashore:
* [[@/{{Marioguy128}} Marty]]
* [[@/{{gentlemanorcus}} Scott]]
* [[@/{{yarrunmace}} Todd]] (first known as 'Bones')
* [[@/{{pvtnum11}} Egon]] - 33 year old white male, and possibly the OnlySaneMan.
* [[@/MidnightVelvet Jay]]
* [[@/{{Quantumawsome}} Quant]]

Two other survivors washed ashore separately and were found shortly later, both female:
* [[@/ACrackInTime Charlotte]] (goes by Charlie) - A 22 year old medical student
* [[@/{{Amylove}} Amy]]

It was soon discovered that the islet was recently inhabited, but the sole occupant is a teenaged girl, [[@/{{rifflet}} Billie]], who had been there for five years, and by herself for four of them.

Around the third day, a private plane, while assisting in the search and rescue operation for the cruise ship disaster, lands on the atoll, but suffers a catastrophic failure and burns to the ground. Its pilot and only occupant, [[@/FuschlatzOReilly Fusch]], has been stuck with the other survivors since.

After a week, some of the island's dark secrets begin to come to light. One of those secrets, the fact that the island is used as a hiding spot for heroin and other illicit drugs, ends up with many of the survivors being shot. [[spoiler:Some are killed, as well.]]

With crude living conditions, some of his wounds get infected. Then it gets worse again - the infection starts to mess with his delicate hold on sanity. Finally, he snaps and begins to harm some members of the party. If the infection doesn't do him in, someone else will. Wait, it gets worse again: He acquires a gun.
