Nuclear War Survival Skills - Descent into anarchy
« on: May 04, 2014, 07:50:03 am »

First of all: THREAD MUSIC! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrFcoleIjf0

It is year 1984, America. There's a crisis in the middle east, the soviet have invaded various middle eastern countries, which angers our oil greedy 'murica.
You are either going to survive this, or die on the fucking spot. So make your decisions wisely! The bombs will be falling before you can say "Boom" and thats one quickie of a word.

So what are you gonna do? Just sit there and cry like an idiot? Go out and spend all your hard earned cash panic buying? Or are you gonna load your six shooter and wait for the shit to hit the freaking fan? Its your choice. You are going to die somewhere along the road anyways. This is a game of last man standing. The last man to be alive will be the true winner of something you just cant win.

So go ahead! Make your character! Join the !!fun!!
When we got 5-10 or so people signed up, I will start the game.

Character scheme:

Name: Your name, duh
Gender: Male or Female. Penis or Vagina. Not that you are going to use this for anything anyways, you are gonna be sterile before you can say "Radioactive Toy"
Age: Please keep this above 18 unless you have a really good reason not to. 17 is acceptable but a 6 year old has no chance surviving this.
Political opinion: Are you a darned commie or a good christian rightie? You choose!
Occupation: Please dont make this "nuclear war survivor" or "super soldier" or some shit like that, make it believeable. You can make it useful for actual survival if you want.
Prepper: Do you store stacks upon stacks of canned food, a Remington and gasmasks in your homemade hole in the ground or not? This is a Yes/No question.
Skills/Talents: What you are good at.
Disabilities/Things you suck at: This can be anything from a stubbed toe, being a bad saxophonist to having cancer.
Family/spouse: Yes/No, Name of said spouse
Location: Forgot about this, its probably quite important.

So I'm gonna make my character as an example, I'll probably be the first to die.

Name: Ross Wilkinson
Gender: Male
Age: 33
Political: Chaotic Neutral Socialist
Occupation: Unoccupied, used to work as a mechanic
Prepper: No
Skills/Talents: Improvisation, Drug Consumption, Being a prick to god damn everybody
Disabilities/Things you suck at: Paranoid Schizo.
Location: Somewhere in Nevada.
Family/spouse: Mom and Dad died in a car accident, sister is a heroin junkie, brother got shot trying to deliver a pizza in a shady neighborhood. Had a girlfriend but she left him for obvious reasons.

We Madmen are very ingenious.  Sometimes it just takes just a little less sanity to pull off something completely awesome.

First off, I'd like to make a note about the title. According to Scott Manley's research relating to Orion drives (aka, spaceships that get to space by blowing up nukes behind them), if you launched such a spacecraft into orbit, one more person worldwide would die of cancer from that. I dunno how the calculations were done, but unless the people designing rockets that would fly into space with nukes misunderstood how much radiation was actually emitted by the things by several orders of magnitude, I'm imagining that there wouldn't be much of an increased risk of cancer from a puny little nuclear war.
Second off, I intend to join once I figure out what I want to play. I originally intended to dust off one of my underused standard backups, but then I noticed that it was expressly forbidden.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.
