After the positive responce from taxes.exe, I figured people would be interested in a new one. =Unarmoured=

The Setting
Collapsed= I have to put text here otherwise it bugs out. TEXT Story Version= The world loads in around you as your computer attempts to comprehend Survival 303. You wait some more, and as your character gains colour, you notice that you're standing next to a pair of fighting mithrilites. This is an interesting spectacle, albiet not an remarkably uncommon one, but what surprises you however, is that one of them is only wearing a quiver, and has ommited to don any armour. As you would expect, the one wearing the reinforced mithril is victorious, and the defeated enemy says his last words before leaving the server.

The victor, who's nameplate reads "Bison352" then proceeds to send out a warning to the rest of the server. Bison352: AND LET THAT BE A LESSON TO YOU! DO NOT CHALLENGE YOUR MAINLAND RULERS! S3rpent: Shuddup cow face. We're not all gone, there's still a rebel force. MrBuffalo: What, you and your mute buddy, hiding on an artificial island? Man, we're so scared. S3rpent: He's only muted because a hacker got on earlier. And if you released the bento, perhaps we could fight you, but right now it's a bit one-sided. S3rpent: Anyway, you're not too intimidating either. Your entire tribe's named after cows. I eat steak for breakfast.

A heated flame-war commenced at that, and you take the time to look around. Indeed, on bento, the bento bucks seem to have been moved elsewhere, and if the word of "xXBullFighterXx" is a valid source, then they have been moved to a floating island far beyond the edge of the map. Other than that however, everything seems to be as usual, and you steal an unattended sailboat and look around.

Mainland hosts a tribe of four, who have built a huge castle around the oil spill plateau and have advanced to the late mithril stage. With their pre-gathered bento leather, which is apparantly "way more than we'll ever need, especially because we're so good at fighting that we never die", they've all made themselves reinforced mithril armour, and carry their chosen weapon of preferance on their hotbar at all times.

Rockma, surprisingly, is inhabbited by three people. They're all equipped with high-end steel tools and weapons, and hold any visitors at gunpoint until they're satisfied that the newcomer is friendly, after which point they'll let them go about their daily business.

Plateau, owing to it's natural barriers, hosts a large tribe of 5, who have all taken refuge in an incredibly well fortified base. The leader of the tribe is a veteran of the server who was able to gather a bento hide before the bucks were all taken away, and keeps it in his inventory. Despite much pestering from the rebel group, he refuses to give it away to anyone, as the mainland tribe have threatened to kill, burn, and explode the entire plateau settlement if they find anyone has obtained the hide and used it. Valuing his tribe's safety before anything else, he enforces strict rules and smiths the tools and weapons for his entire tribe, so as to make sure nobody can betray the rest of the group.

You find the two rebel's artificial island at the corner of the map nearest Lynx. It is composed of four docks, and has a farm for most important crops, along with a few stacked wells, a mill, and a storehouse, which doubles as storm shelter in the rare event of rain. After private messaging S3rpent, you find that this is actually their third secret base, and they've been raided numerous times over the course of their (verbal) assault on the mainland tribe. However, due to their good fortune, keen eye, and skype call for quick communication, they've yet to be killed by any of the raiding parties, and the mainland tribe have mainly given up on the constant search for secret hiding spots as it's usually not worth the effort.

The remaining three players are just nomadic players at various stages of progression, some of which chat-deaf. Once you finish your player-finding server tour, you visit paradise for a much-needed snack from the orchard, and begin your journey. Tl;Dr= A tribe at mainland have carted off all the bento bucks to a floating island far off the edge of the map, and the only remaining hides are in the possession of the mainland tribe, excluding one which is held by a tribe leader at plateau, but refuses to give it out lest mainland go to plateau and destroy anything that moves, was created by something that moves, or doesn't fall under the previous two categories but is still destructable.

There are four tribes: Tribe of Four at Mainland - Mithril & Armoured - Hostile Tribe of Three at Rockma - Steel - Cautious Tribe of Five at Plateau - Steel/Iron - Cautious Rebel Tribe of Two on An Artificial Island - Unarmed - Fearful Everyone Else is a Solo Nomad

The Rebel Tribe is a group of two players, one of whom muted, who communicate through Skype and spend their days camping at various safe spots and whining at the Mainland tribe. When found, they quickly run away to somewhere different.

Rules
Owing to some confusion last time, I want to point out that these rules are mainly to keep out the single sentence posts that needlessly bump a thread that doesn't deserve the attention. The joke got old a while back.

As of such, if you break one of these rules, but also write a multi-paragraph story, I'm fine with it. Just so long as you're trying to complete the challenge, not find as many ways to break the rules while supposedly following them as possible.
 * 1) You can't just randomly persuade the plateau leader to give you the hide. For some context, this is about 6 hours of work on plateau, so he won't just give it all away so some random guy he just met can try his hand at 1 vs 4 combat, and then realise it's harder than he first anticipated.
 * 2) You can't leave. Other people can leave, and when you're done you can leave, but your solution to getting rid of the tyrants can't be to find a server where they're not dominating it.
 * 3) You're not some pvp god, so don't just take on the entire tribe singlehandedly in hand-hand combat and win. There are ways to defeat them by yourself, but rushing in isn't one of them. On a similar note, unless you have a remarkably good spot, you also can't just snipe them all. They have ranged weapons too, and they've got plenty of time to react.
 * 4) You can't find the bento bucks. It's a bit like saying "In this situation where all the ores have been blocked off, I find a hidden and unattended pile of gunpowder and use it to blow open the ore cases."; it defies the point. If you can get a mainland tribe member to tell you where they are, or use some form of bento buck GPS, you could probably figure out where they are, but you can't just randomly search for it and stumble across them.
