All the cools kids seem to be doing their "first few hours" of games, so I'll give it a go.

Joined a random public official server. I had next to no idea what I was meant to be doing, but I had a rock and three meters. I spawned in at night on a small beach, so I instantly began to freeze and lost a bit of health. Following the coastline, I found many houses (in hindsight, they were all probably abandoned), and pilfered some pumpkins and corn from a small crop field. I then immediately hightailed it to the mountains and began cutting down some trees for wood. After about 45 minutes of running around and trying to figure out how to cook food, I died of food poisoning from stolen food after starving and drinking salty water.

Spawn back in again and this time I go straight to looking for food. I found some mushrooms but I guess they belonged to a guy as he shot me with an arrow. I managed to hide inside a bush, but I spent the next ten minutes hiding inside of it thinking he was still there, until I poked my head out and found out it was a horse. Didn't find any food but I found a player idling on the beach. Died of starvation.

This time, I went inland. There were a lot of gunshots in the distance and people getting angry over someone cheating. I got shot in the back by a guy with a bow, who then apologized thinking that I was a threat and let me go. For whatever reason I thought it would be a good idea to run towards the gunshots. Got scared and hid in another bush. I slowly snuck inside an empty house and took my bearing. Killed a horse (first kill!) and ate it over a fire in the empty shack. I then got out of the warzone and headed towards the beach. I was still pretty hungry so I needed to get some food. After following the beach for some time I found and killed a wild boar, who happily dropped four pork for me, enough to sustain me for a long time. After chasing down another boar, a man saw me, shot me, berated me for my sloppy fighting (despite never really ever fighting before) and then murdered me with my own spear.

I joined a new server (my dignity was low but spirits still high) and went exploring the forests. The people here (if there were people) were a bit more friendly, keeping their distance from me. I actually managed to make myself a bow, 100 arrows and a burlap suit. But food was another story. I searched every forest and valley for food and all I could find was the occasional mushroom. No deer, horse or boar to be seen. I pilfered another pumpkin farm and set to work building a base, only to be suprise attacked by a bear and killed. I did build a sleeping bag this time, but the bear just turned around and immediately killed me again anyway.

After 3 hours, 4 or so deaths and 6 or so kills, I think I'm done for the moment. This game is fun, but I don't think I can get too invested in it what with all the raiding and such.
