Minecraft: 100 Players, 2 Islands

{{user}} slowly opened his eyes. He was inside a huge white room with no doors, windows, or objects. When he tried to stand, he realized his hands were square and made of pixels. Looking at himself, he discovered he was wearing his own Minecraft skin.

Around him, 99 other players were waking up, each inside their own skin. No one understood what was happening.

"What is this place?! Why do I look like this?!"

Suddenly, a player appeared in the center of the room, wearing a simple and unique skin.

"Welcome."

"I am the ADM, the Administrator of this world. I brought you here because I want to create a game for my entertainment. You will be the players."

"Players? Is this some kind of server?!"

"More or less."

The ADM snapped his fingers, causing two signs to appear: ISLAND 1 and ISLAND 2.

"You must choose one of them. Fifty people will stay on one island, and the other fifty on the other."

"And what's on each island?"

The ADM smiled.

"One has abundant resources, plenty of water, animals, trees, ores, and vegetation. The other is the exact opposite: extremely scarce resources, little to no vegetation, and a desert environment."

The players immediately began arguing over which island to choose.

"But how will we know which is which?"

"You won't."

They would have to choose blindly and discover their fate afterward.

"And there's one more thing."

The ADM became serious.

"I am in Creative Mode, but I will not interfere. I will not provide items, alter the world, prevent events, or save anyone. I will only observe."

He paused.

"Remember: although this world is Minecraft, this is real life. You can feel hunger, suffer injuries, and die. And if you die here… there will be no respawn."

Fear spread throughout the room.

Now, the 100 players had to choose between Island 1 and Island 2, with no idea which one would offer them a better chance of survival.

The game was about to begin.
