'''Discordian Cargo Cult''' is an aesthetic facade of blind creativity within Shartak. It also an [http://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=17 official game clan,] open to both Native and Outsider characters. Its goals are rarely communicated to clan members on a need-to-know basis.

==Clan News==
Oulatek has miraculously returned from his wandering for forty days in the ocean. Those are not bed sores, they're shark bites, honest. The Goddess Herself has handed down to him... nothing at all because she's probably not too aware of what's going on around here.

......"…that very well may be… but the REAL enemies are the deforesters of the island!!!!! Therefore we are now at war with anyone who methodically embarks on a mindless deforestation!".....
(Aug-18-06, Enoch Root, channeling the voice of Eris, herself).

Oulatek further states that the Goddess doesn't know what she's talking about and shouldn't be trusted. Plus this Root character is probably just possessed by a lesser income tax demon or something.

We must clear the island of foliage, so the Great Bringers of Boxes of Stuff in the sky can see our little dances with the orange flags.

......"testing, testing, 1, 2, 3,... okay, here goes. ...To my dear fellow Discordians, something revolutionary is occurring on storybook island. A non-violence zone has been created where people from diverse clans have only today discussed the formation of the Shartak equivalent of the UN, the UC (United Clans). The little island will be a non-violence zone where all clans can meet to discuss grievances, policies, the latest coconut fashions, or whatever. However, anyone that comes to the island to kill people will be dealt with accordingly. ...please concider this...This is Eris signing out... pleasant dreams...".....
(Sept-8-06, Enoch Root, channeling Eris again).

==The Roules==
[[La Islet Bonobo|Storybook Island]] has been claimed as Discordian Cargo Cult territory; any character who ventures onto the islet is hereby advised of the Roules:

# Join Us or Die!
# We say "Mango!!!!!" instead of "Fnord!" 
# Do not kill players unless they are in a clan we are at war with, unless you
have a moderate to mild impulse to do so.
# If you know the difference between "uncountably infinite" and "dense" in set theory, please tell us
# If at first you don't succeed, squint and look at it sideways.

===The Sub-Bylaws===
# The speed of light is constant, or at least it seems that way.
# We're all in it together.
# The Societas Eruditorum is our ally
# The Societas Eruditorum has always been our ally
# Freedom is slavery
# Countably based is separable is Lindeloef, assuming Shartak is metric


==What's Going On==
We are negotiating with the [[Royal Expedition]] to form a non-violence zone on Storybook island. You can kill whomever you want on the mainland, but not on the little island....at least that's the idea.

==A Clarification==
There is no such thing as mountaineers. Anyone who says otherwise must die.

==What's Going On==
We are at war with the [[Royal Expedition]] because they think the Islet is called [[Shark Island]], just because there are Mango trees there. Well the True name is "[[La Islet Bonobo|Storybook Island]]". So we are having a civil war with them. Civil, as in "pardon me, I'm going to hack you with this machete, terribly sorry, old chap." Also civil as in "let's not get into any hostilities on the mainland: skirmishes on the Islet itself only."

......"…that very well may be… but the REAL enemies are the deforesters of the island!!!!! Therefore we are now at war with anyone who methodically embarks on a mindless deforestation!".....
(Aug-18-06, Enoch Root, channeling the voice of Eris, herself).

Oh, and please don't mess up the sand on Storybook Island... Eris Herself wrote those words with Her own Holy Piece of Stick.

==The Roules==
[[La Islet Bonobo|Storybook Island]] has been claimed as Discordian Cargo Cult territory; any character who ventures onto the islet is hereby advised of the Roules:

# Join Us or Die!
# We say "Mango!!!!!" instead of "Fnord!" 
# Do not kill players unless they are in a clan we are at war with, unless you
have a moderate to mild impulse to do so.
# If you know the difference between "uncountably infinite" and "dense" in set theory, please tell us
# If at first you don't succeed, squint and look at it sideways.

===The Sub-Bylaws===
# The Royal Expedition is our enemy
# We have always been at war with the Royal Expedition
# The Societas Eruditorum is our ally
# The Societas Eruditorum has always been our ally
# Freedom is slavery
# Countably based is separable is Lindeloef, assuming Shartak is metric


==What's Going On==
We are at war with the [[Royal Expedition]] because they think the Islet is called [[Shark Island]], just because there are Mango trees there. Well the True name is "[[La Islet Bonobo|Storybook Island]]". So we are having a civil war with them. Civil, as in "pardon me, I'm going to hack you with this machete, terribly sorry, old chap." Also civil as in "let's not get into any hostilities on the mainland: skirmishes on the Islet itself only."

==A Clarification==
There is no such thing as mountaineers. Anyone who says otherwise must die.

==Membership==
If you wish to join the Discordian Cargo Cult, do so by adding "Discordian Cargo Cult" to your profile. Then add your name with a link to your profile to the list. Mango!

Items

Enoch Root: /* Miscellaneous items */

<div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 10px 10px">__TOC__</div>
Various '''items''' are scattered on the island. All items can be found by searching in the appropriate place; some tend to be found more in huts and villages, while others are more likely to be found in the jungle. All items can be [[Trading|traded]] to [[trader]]s for what they have in stock.

You can carry 71 items in your inventory. Each rifle and blowpipe takes 2 inventory spaces, while gold coins don't take up any inventory space. All other items take 1 space.

Clicking on an item in your inventory uses 1 [[AP]]. Generally, this attempts to use the item (such as a ''[[Items#Sharpening stone|sharpening stone]]''); otherwise, you get a message like: "Upon closer inspection, the knife appears to be a weapon." (1 AP is used in either case.)

For more information, see [[Talk:Items]].

== Melee weapons ==

The default weapon, the punch, deals 1 point of base damage at 10% base accuracy.

There is an unknown chance of a weapon dealing additional damage during combat. "Maybe it's luck or maybe it's skill, your attack is right on target and inflicts more damage than normal. You attack [the target] for 5 damage." There is also an unknown chance of a weapon breaking during combat, which causes you to lose that weapon. "Unlucky or just clumsy? The blade snaps off and you're left holding the handle, which you discard." See [[Special weapon event odds]] for more information.

== Consumable ==

Using a consumable item takes 1 AP and consumes the item (removing it from your inventory). All fruits and drinks you have are only usable on yourself. First aid kits and healing herbs are unique in that they can also be used to heal [[animals]] and other characters (including [[NPC]] [[trader]]s and [[shaman]]s).

=== Banana ===
* '''Restores''': 1 HP
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $40
* '''[[Locations]]''': banana tree, jungle

Found hanging on trees and lying loose around the jungle.

Bananas are overpriced in [[trading]] huts, costing $40 per 1 HP healed at normal prices.

=== Bottle of beer ===
* '''Restores''': 2 HP
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $40
* '''[[Locations]]''': outsider camps, beach

A bottle of beer costs $20 per 1 HP healed at normal prices.

Natives without ''[[Outsider Knowledge]]'' see this item as a "bottle of brown liquid" and can use it normally.

=== Bottle of rum ===
* '''Restores''': 2 HP
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $40
* '''[[Locations]]''': shipwreck

A bottle of rum costs $20 per 1 HP healed at normal prices.

* '''[[Locations]]''': outsider camps

The most cost-effective healing item in the game, costing just $6 per 1 HP healed at normal prices

=== Bunch of poisonous berries ===
* '''Inflicts''': -2 HP
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $20
* '''[[Locations]]''': berry bush

Poisonous berries can be found on berry bushes (which have tree icons on the map).

Outsiders without ''[[Native Knowledge]]'' recognize this item as "a bunch of berries" and can use it normally. (However, such outsiders also see tasty berries as "a bunch of berries" and thus can't tell whether a given bunch is tasty or poisonous until they eat it.)

'''Note:''' Poisonous berries yield 2 XP when eaten. Since characters earn XP again when healing the damage, repeated poisoning and healing is a viable method of gaining [[XP]] for non-combat characters.

=== Bunch of tasty berries ===
* '''Restores''': 2 HP
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $40
* '''[[Locations]]''': berry bush

Tasty berries can be found on berry bushes (which have tree icons on the map).

Outsiders without ''[[Native Knowledge]]'' see this item as "a bunch of berries" and can use it normally but cannot distinguish it from a bunch of poisonous berries.

When purchased at normal prices at a [[trading]] hut, tasty berries cost $20 per 1 HP healed.

=== First aid kit ===

* '''Restores''': 5 HP (10 with ''[[First Aid]]'')
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $200
* '''[[Locations]]''': outsider camps
* '''Usable by''': outsiders; natives with ''[[Outsider Knowledge]]''

A first aid kit will heal all wounds caused by shark bites.

Natives without ''[[Outsider Knowledge]]'' recognize this item but are unable to use it.

A first aid kit costs $40 per 1 HP healed at normal prices, or $20 per 1 HP with ''[[First Aid]]''.

"FAK" and "kit" are common abbreviations.

=== Gourd of water ===
* '''Restores''': 1 HP
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $30
* '''[[Locations]]''': jungle

Found lying loose around the jungle.

When purchased at normal prices in a [[trading]] hut, a gourd of water costs $30 per 1 HP healed.

=== Healing herb ===
* '''Restores''': 5 HP (10 with ''[[Natural Medicine]]'')
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $200
* '''[[Locations]]''': native camps, grasslands, ruins
* '''Usable by''': natives; outsiders with ''[[Native Knowledge]]''

Applying a healing herb will heal all wounds caused by shark bites.

Outsiders without ''[[Native Knowledge]]'' see this item as a "dried herb" and are unable to use it.

This item costs $40 per 1 HP healed at normal prices, or $20 per 1 HP with ''[[Natural Medicine]]''.

Players often refer to these as "herbs".

=== Mango ===
* '''Restores''': 1 HP
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $40
* '''[[Locations]]''': mango tree, jungle

Found hanging on trees and lying loose around the jungle.

Useless except in trade.

=== Gem ===
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $1000
* '''[[Locations]]''': ruins, hold (shipwreck)

Ten times more valuable than gold at normal prices. Unlike gold, gems require inventory space.

=== Gold coin ===
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $100
* '''[[Locations]]''': camps, jungle, beach

Being the currency of the island, gold coins are the only items to require no inventory space, and up to ten can be given to any player in the same location via the "Give" button. Clicking on a gold coin in one's inventory flips it and gives "heads" or "tails" as a result.

=== GPS unit ===
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $250
* '''[[Locations]]''': outsider camps, outsider resource huts
* '''Usable by''': outsiders; natives with ''[[Outsider Knowledge]]''

Gives the coordinate location of your character when a signal is available in a non-dense, non-enclosed area. Coordinates are in the form [-70.366,+26.443], where the first number is the X coordinate (longitude) and the second is the Y coordinate (latitude). Moving a single square represents a change in coordinate in that direction of 0.001.

GPS units are high-demand items for new characters. There is a very slight chance of finding them lying on the ground in an outsider village, but the best places to search for them are in outsider medical and ammunition huts (see [[Hut]] for search odds). Outsider traders sometimes have them in [[Trading_hut_stock_reports|stock]].

=== Piece of driftwood ===
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $70
* '''[[Locations]]''': beach

A [[signpost]] can be constructed out of two pieces of driftwood.

=== Poisonous snake ===

* '''[[Locations]]''': grasslands

Useless except in trade.

=== Sharpening stone ===
* '''[[Trading#Trading_Hut_Prices|Normal value]]''': $50
* '''[[Locations]]''': camps

Sharpening stones can be clicked on to sharpen a [[Items#Blunt machete|blunt machete]] into a [[Items#Machete|machete]] or a [[Items#Blunt cutlass|blunt cutlass]] into a [[Items#Cutlass|cutlass]].
