I'd rather not suffer the colossal failure, myself. If failure comes, I'd rather it happen after I'm gone. Then they'd hope it happens after they're gone. And so on, postponing the apocalypse!
Personally, I hope the apocalypse happens tomorrow.
It'd give me an excuse to kill all the people I hate and try to meet up with friends I never see, so really the lack of wifi isn't a huge loss.
Killing people is a risky business. I wouldn't want to live somewhere where people feel free to shoot at each other.

That's the thing: in this hypothetical situation, the apocalypse is goin' down. Nobody's gonna be living anywhere for long. :P

Depends on what's meant by apocalypse. In any case, not a situation I'd wish for.

Why would you flee Toledo in event of an apocalypse? There's nothing left here for one to hit.

The name's there. Zombies flock to places that are designated as important by living humans as divulged by their possessing a name.

Also, in the event of an apocalypse, note that many bay12 members live hundreds of miles from one another.

Heh, that's sure the case in DND.  Particularly in our campaign, recently.  My best friend just lost another die of HP from dying in the first round.
Which is, actually, kinda a sad for me.  Maybe because I *always* play support characters, except this time...  My most recent support character got pulverized by random chance in his first session.  Which I don't mind, particularly since it was a (technically literally) epic death, but I chose to take control of his cohort...  An incredibly effective swordmistress who can kill, but not protect.

And in the next session, she bluffed the enemies as the wizard died.  Then used shadow powers to hide behind walls - resulting in our barbearian (sic) being knocked unconscious.  He would have died too except that we were fighting merciful holy clerics.

She won the day for the party, but...  I'm used to being able to cast Heal and Restoration, and summon things to distract and take hits.  Being a flashstepping sword-dancer is fun and all, but... stupidly... I feel a little guilty.

It's an insecurity thing, not actual benevolence...  I'm far more comfortable being relied on than vice versa.  And suddenly I'm no longer providing the expected support, and that scares me.
In one of my first DnD games, our cleric was a self-righteous jerk that refused to heal people unless they could prove they really needed it.
He never healed us a single time, and then he "accidentally" got permanently shape-shifted into a bear.
I had a wand of remove curse that could easily undo it, but since, being a bear, he wasn't able to explain why he really needed to be turned back into a cleric, I didn't change him back.

When the campaign ended, his character simply wandered off into the forest, never to be heard from again.

I'm not a local. I'd be willing to take the risk of travelling if it meant being on familiar territory again, especially to a rural forested place like my home town. Besides, I'm surrounded on three sides by the most dangerous parts of the city, anarchy isn't going to help things any.

I know, it's just a recurring joke around here that they could film a zombie movie just by adding a color filter.

I seriously worry about what would happen in the case of a societal collapse/nuclear bombardment of Australia.
Queensland (For those who don't know) is basically the melting pot of culture. If we were to disintegrate into nomadic tribes it's quite possible that the people you meet on the street wouldn't speak a lot of English.
It's not normally a problem when you order food or go for a job interview, but if I had a terrified person pointing a pistol at me and shouting at me in mandarin/indian/tongan/malay/korean/texan/swahili I'd be so screwed.
