The by-the-book survivor

Once you set a rule, you keep it like a reflex. This much water a day, shelter here, signal checked every morning — you repeat the fixed order, quietly. With no one watching and no one else there, the routine doesn't slip. Nothing flashy about it, but this unshakable diligence lets you last more steadily than any other type. Walk the camp a few days in and the spot where supplies are sorted by kind and inventory tallies exactly is usually yours.

Your strength is being predictable. Among people shaking in a crisis, you alone move exactly as yesterday, and that itself becomes the camp's reference point. The trouble is you rarely change a fixed method. When conditions shift you still follow yesterday's rule and miss the opening. Even at the rare moment a ship passes, you keep the set routine and raise the signal late. Where diligence tips into rigidity — that's this type's weak point. Once you've judged a method right you rarely doubt it, so even with a better path in plain sight you keep insisting on the familiar one and lose out, again and again.

Where you break down worst is when the rule itself stops fitting. A spring dries, a season turns, and clinging to the old rule turns diligence into a shackle. What you need is a rule for reviewing the rules — every few days, asking yourself “does this still fit?” Your consistency is already top-tier; add one clause, “it's allowed to change,” and this type's survival is complete.
