Continued. Oh no, you cannot all survive the island together. Luckily there is a raft that can fit one person, though you are unsure if it will even make it anywhere.

PART 4
It turns out you are not alone on this island. You have encountered other survivors who have been on the island long enough to have resorted to desperate acts, like forming a dictatorship that enforces a strict and seperate caste/labor system.
The dictator requires as a tax on this island that you be split into labor groups. Two of you can stay together, however one of you must be separated from the others. "You will never see each other again."
The dictator does not want you, specifically, for this solitary position. He requires you stay with one of your companions.
He has, however, taken notice of your role in the group and will respect a choosing of your choice
Who do you send away?

PART 5
Time has gone by and you have found yourself to be in a wonderful position. You enjoy a certain privledge in this camp, as the dictator has learned to trust you. Unfortunately, you have never mentioned to the dictator that in the beginning, you were four survivors.
Through his irrationality, he claims this to be treason on the basis of dishonesty towards him, which is punishable by execution, "just so you know."

It looks like the raft never made it elsewhere, and the person you sent away has survived, only to tell the dictator that they arrived on the island with YOU.
The dictator is holding this person captive, and requires that you make a decision to determine who will be executed, or by your choice, simply banished.
Do you fess up? You have it quite good here. Do you want to end it all now by banishing yourself?
Or do you lie? They don't have to even know that you will have determined their fate . . .
