Are you capable of surviving?

I'm at the hairdresser right now and the atmosphere was so inspiring I was thinking of the following;

imagine the world is at an end (it's 2012 after al). There is no electricity, which logically would mean no watmm. Besides all this, everything is falling apart. It really is the end.

Are you able to bring something to the rebuilding society you are being part of? Are there any skills that could contribute to the stabilzation of the world? If not, you're probably going to die, since it's going to be about the law of the strongest (this is besides the point). What would your role be in this hypothetical situation? What would your dream function be?

I would be the rollercoaster tester

in all honestly id probably join a vigilante group and provide protection over a neighboring village in exchange for food and shelter. Id feel like I was contributing without joining in mindless killing...try to protect the last vestiges of civilization.

but yeah, id probably just die.

apocalyptist mocker

i'd be the hairdresser

Id basically hide and wait for ohter people to gather food and shit, then steal it while they sleep. I would store the stuff, and then create an empire by trading the goods with people in need for more valuable stuff, like women. Then I would have a legion of sexy slaves at my command and I would build houses and schools, where I would teach the faith of kanakori. Children would grow idolzing me as a god,. At some point before my death, if the people are educated enough and follow good morals, I would establish a democracy. This way democracy would be sacralized with my name.

lol

btw that's in a year from now dudes, better get ready.

Gods will have no place in the apocalypse. Bring it.

rolf, now a piece of my lunch is on my monitor, yes it's rye bread, okay i'll go clean it up now :(

we'll see ex-voto as "Judge Thread"

so where should we meet up post-apocalypse to start our new civilization?

Ok, everyone give their exact locations with latitude and longitude so we can pin point the exact location that would make everyone have to travel the same distance.

or what if we establish a couple smaller communities across Britain and the US...and then create caravans to establish communication and supply lines. we will need weapons for this. but what else is new.

Ok, but those smaller communities would have to communicate their actions with HQ.

I know a guy that has access to weapons.

I'm big and strong so I make a good pack mule/laborer.

I also can draw and paint so I could be good for recording events/making things look nice.

Hired.

I can't even survive in today's world, let alone a post-apocalyptic one.

youd be amazed at how streamlined your priorities will be. eating, drinking water, sleep, shelter, and not getting shot/mauled by mutant beasts.

im with patternoverlap...im sorta skinny right now but im 6'3", i could start working out now and hopefully have enough muscle by then to support some of the heavy artillery/ammunition supplies.
