Let's play a game. I had this vivid dream last night that the 2012 prophesy came true, with every tectonic plate coming alive with disaster. Most of the human race was destroyed. There are several hundred survivors on each continent, all trying to hold it together without all of the amenities we are accustomed to. There are bands of criminals raiding survivors. No electricity, to start. Sick, elderly and injured to care for. etc, etc. Focus: Which five TIB members would you want in your town and WHY? Focus: What would be your survival strategy?
Yall can do whatever yall want- I'm thinking I'm going to be gone already by the time the REAL rapture gets here this fall. Enjoy trying to do it with each other during the cannibal holocaust, Sinners!
Focus: Shimmered, PIMPTRESS, bewildered, Jennitalia, hooker Focus (2): Repopulating the earth afterwards.
Pimptress, just because we’ll need some crazy Bewildered because she’s only 20 or something and we’ll need breeding stock Angel_1756 just because Chirpy because I have a thing for teachers TX. Because I think she’s a nurse or something and medical skills would help. Also she just sounds hot. Honorable mention to BrianH because he can kill people and I’d need at least one guy to talk to when the aforementioned 5 girls' periods synched up and made life unbearable.
A world without computers? Or an entertainment economy? Fuck it, just surprise me with a high caliber double tap to the back of the head. Honourable mention to Roxanne and her incredible ass and Grits in absentia, That crazy over prepared survival guy, NettData for being someone I could have a conversation with and having experience dealing with bears, and Katokoch for presumably having a pretty good handle on repairing and or fabricating firearms.
This is an ugly version of Fuck, Marry, Kill. And if I'm being honest, I could probably drop Marry right out of the equation and split board members into either the Fuck or Kill category.
Nettdata: Because he has (what I assume) are some serious survival skillz and probably an arsenal in his basement, along with emergency food supplies and whatever else they trained him to have in the military "just in case." xrayvision: Because of all his medical training. And he has an inordinate amount of weaponry. The only downside about having him there will be hearing the constant, "See, aren't you glad I have these rifles?" repeated over and over. Primer: Rawr. bewildered: Gotta have another female around, and she seems like she's cool. Plus she can deadlift more than any of the guys I just mentioned, so kudos to her. Chater: Because with five people already, the foodstuffs would already be running low and cute as he is, he's never around.
Focus: Females: Roxanne, Bewildered and Sharald. No offense to the women over 23 on this board, but they have a lot more miles left on them. Males: Judas and Arms Akimbo. Mainly because they are scrawny and I'm pretty sure I could beat the crap out of them. -Edited because I apparently can't tell the difference between five and six.
Tough question, because if we're taking this 'seriously' all of us would be dead within a week anyway. I'm not knocking 'survivalists' but a lot of the shit they use to 'survive' would quickly become obsolete in this brave new world. Ok, my picks: Hooker, Angel 17645 (or whatever) because they have great tits. Dcc. I don't know why, I just would. Winterbike, because we have the same taste in a lot things from what I gather. Stealth. I think the unintentional comedic value would be worth it, well, right up to the point where all the others fell upon him for a food source after a week or so. Sadly, I must be the most underqualified in such circumstances. I'd say the over/under on my individual survival would be 13 hours.
1756, darlin'. The year Mozart was born. My top five would have to be... Nett - just in case of bears. And because he was probably a boy scout and can build fires and kill animals for food and stuff. Noland - just because. Grits - for the giggles. BrianH - for my protection. Nom - so I wouldn't be the only girl. Aw snap!
Blue Dog- because hey...two giant southerners is better than one. BrianH- I once saw him put an IV in his own arm while wearing a head lamp and holding a beer. Not well mind you, but I can only imagine that he's gotten better. Nom Chompsky- if we ran into a really angry black tribe we can use him as proof of "totally being cool, y'all. See, we got one just like you!" or at the very worst, barter him off for supplies (one would think they would have a stockpile of white women). Mya- medical experience, won't annoy us, assuming she doesn't eat much either. Win, win, win. DixieBandit- I just think he'd make a pretty good grunt doing all of our bitch work considering his prison experience. Plus, when he's eventually killed off after being used as live bait, I bet it would be a real morale booster. Pretty sure our strategy would just be killing DixieBandit when he gets too annoying and replacing him with someone else, then killing that guy when he wears himself out, replacing him with someone else, etc. Core contingent stays, just kind of grilling out, relaxing, enjoying all of the benefits that indentured servants bring to the table. Eventually we sell our slaves for large stakes in whatever new government is eventually set up.
Wait, wait, I'm changing mine. Focus: Milly. Why? Because fuck you, that's why. After the apocalypse, me and Milly will be scoring mad bitchez and Milly will get drunk and do something fuckin' crazy!
-Nettdaddy because he's smart and seems to have a pretty good sense of ingenuity. Plus, he has a trampoline in his back yard. -BrianH for his wilderness smarts and tactical skills. And dogged determination. Actually I have no proof of this last one but I assume it is true. -SavageHenry because of his medical knowledge. I know he never posts anymore but still! I was always very impressed. -Dcc and PIMPTRESS because I need some ladies to giggle around the campfire with. Plus, we need to broaden the genepool! See, at this rate, we could totally be sustainable for a couple generations, until we could steal a couple women from the tribe down the river. Otherwise, we'd have some weird inbreeding shit going down. Can we have an alt focus of who we'd eat first? I have a couple in mind...
xrayvision: like Dcc,he had medical training and because he is armed. He also takes pretty pictures of sunsets, this could be warped into surveillance of any approaching marauders. M4A1: Ex-Military, I know he knows how to hit a running target. Plus he's something of a giant, this could be utilized. Devil's Advocate: Because she can ride, isn't afraid to get her hands dirty and is quite entertaining. hooker: She can plan our entertainment with her porn knowledge and knows the ropes for any prisoners that need bound. I expect she can cook, as well. Nettdaddy: Reasons are obvious. Our first plan is to attack Poopouri's tribe and rescue Nom, we need an ethnic woman around. Who would we eat first? BL1Y. You can't talk about nothing when you're dead.
Dr Frylock, fries go with everything. Next: So, what would your first plan of action be?What is your plan to last longer than a week? My group would raid ammo, empty grocery stores and hospitals for supplies. Then, since weed is pretty much legal in my 'hood, we'd raid a medical marijuana shop. Find a sturdy structure with a good vantage point and go from there. Stoned.
My plan will be to go kill anyone who raided ammo, empty grocery stores, and hospitals for supplies. The hard work of scavenging is already done. Nothing personal, it's the apocalypse baby.
