Default Re: In a post-apocalyptic world what would you loot first?

To be honest - I doubt I would get a chance to loot - as a nurse I know where my backside will be - at the hospital caring for others.



As usual

This sad little lizard told me that he was a brontosaurus on his mother’s side. I did not laugh; people who boast of ancestry often have little else to sustain them. Humouring them costs nothing and adds to happiness in a world in which happiness is always in short supply.

R. A. Heinlein

At present, the internet allows one to claim anything, relationship to royalty, physical attributes and expertise they do not have...........

Nothing. I will try and fit in the organizing of survival possibilities of the authorities. In such cases, you'll just make your situation worse if you start looting and running wild.

Yup. Once civilization colapses, there will be a Malthusian implosion. Loot all the supplies you want, eventually those who are less prepared will try to kill you and take what you have. The only survivors will be those who band together and show no qualms about using violence to secure resources. An authortarian government would need to be formed and slowly procure more and more territory and resources, at the same time 'removing' those who do not belong to our enclave.

Sparta, I would eventually kill you and assume power, ofcourse, but I would join you in the beginning. I got dibs on Britney.

Default Re: In a post-apocalyptic world what would you loot first?

Hmm sooo many things. Well first I'd loot the keys to a nuclear aircraft carrier, then gather all my political hotwire friends to form a floating city. We could build farms on the flight deck and turn the many rooms into functional things.

I have compiled a list of what people shall be on my ship.

Inky - Will run the pornographic theatre.
Helena - My female consort
Davocrat - My male consort
Kyryhan - Yarr, me first mate
Leo - I will name him the heir apparent and then at the last minute change the government to a republic to spite him! MUAHAHA
Michaelr - Yarrr, he will be me second mate
Invayne - The ships resident Madam. She has absolute freedom of speech.
Dr Knuckles - The ships doctor.
Craig - My navigator, he will take us to all the pimpin cities in Asia.
John Fuckin Locke - My court jester.
Freckles - my treasurer
Zarathustra - Hm, dunno. Something demeaning and yet highly important.
Sparta - Why the Candyman of course.
Dubs and IlikeGW - The Mistresses of the Cats; they will be responsible for caring for the many cats that will inhabit the ship (Invayne shares this duty)

If you shit me, you get to be the plumber.

The rest of you have jobs, but obviously not important enough to list here. Nothing personal



And man said, let there be light, and he was blessed by light, heat, magnetism, gravity, and all the energies of the universe.

Goto Greg's Guns and if he's dead hit the switch under the counter and load up on all the ak's 50 calibers, four rocket launchers, 2 missle launchers c4, ammunition military weapons manuals. oh and survivalist gear he has lying around. Then of course hit the co-op. Yes I know what your thinking why hit a co-op? Because there is plenty of planting seed and of course fertilizer,barbwire, lumber, prefab green houses and of course my personal favorite chain and rope. Then of course there would be going to a local area farm if no one is alive there look for their horses and get as many as possible. If the place is in good shape and defensible then probably hold up there. Well that pretty much sums up what I'd do.

First stop, the liquor store, then the butcher shop, then I'm heading over to Helena's house. Screw the rest of you.

Haha, thank you both, Aussie and Bourne, for having me (so to speak ).

I feel doubly honored and doubly creeped out at the same time.
