Anyone can join in
at any point; the only thing to consider is that your cash may not be as effective and you won't have [as much/any] time to prepare as people before you.
1. Start meditating
2. Let go of all worldly woes and fears
3. Ascend to a new state of existence beyond the reach of the coming apocalypses.
[5] For a brief moment, you're there. You can see the wonders of this new exi-- oh. There it goes. You snap out of it after a hooligan starts throwing things outside your house before running away. Further attempts yield nothing, but you feel different after your short period of enlightenment. You now have a
[Fearless Mind].
[2] You double-check your saved cash, and count
$30,000 in total.
Cash: $30,000
Assets:
- Nothing
Status effects:
- [Fearless Mind] +1 to sanity/fear rolls.
contact a psychic regarding the coming apocalypse.
Prepare with materials according to prediction, along with the standard rations allotment and a gun/appropriate time period ranged weapon™
[5] Financial security sure is great. You've got a whole
$85,000 in safekeeping!
[5] Your new psychic offered you some impressive services at the low-low price of
$500. She tells you much [in a PM].
Your purchasing decisions based off of this will have to wait for later, but you can still purchase your other things.
[1 - 1] Your local stores appear to be completely desolate of anything food-related. In your desperation, you try paying a shop owner to reserve a coming shipment of food, but ultimately it looks like you were scammed of your
$5,000.
[3 - 1] Same for guns and ammunition. All the gun shops in the vicinity are bare of their entire stocks. But at least you didn't get scammed this time.
Cash: $79,500
Assets:
- Nothing
Status effects:
- Nothing
Can I join now? if so:
take my money and buy a oceangoing ship. Buy facilities to harvest kelp and fish, and facilities to turn kelp into bio-deasil to power my ship. Place said facilities on ship, along with desalinators.
[6] It's a good thing you saved that money. Before all this started happening, you were even going to have to make more room for your
$100,000.
[5 - 1] At the nearest docks, you find a man willing to part with his
moderate-sized yacht for the low, low price of
$65,000. It's expensive, but the yacht should hopefully be able to fit your needs. Below is an image vaguely resembling your new boat.
[5 - 1] Equipment harvesting kelp and fish is much more simple.
$5,000 covers the cost for a nice array of equipment that should bring in a decent amount of fish and kelp. The
fish & kelp equipment is transported onto the yacht.
[2 - 1] Bio-diesel conversion facilities are, as it happens, really hard to find.
$1,000 is spent trying to look for some place to buy what you're looking for, but in the end it fails.
[3 - 1] Desalinators are also a no-go, but you have the genius idea to stop just short of spending money only to find nothing.

There are still no immediate apocalypses occurring yet, but people across the country sure do seem determined to change that. Further widespread panic has started to lead to looting in stores. While the streets are relatively safe, stores' stocks are already starting to lower. The
looters are primarily taking food.
Apocalypse in: Probably soon.
Known apocalypses: None?
Current global status effects:-
Market Crash: -1 to commerce rolls.
-
Looters: -1 to rolls purchasing food in regular stores.
