In the event that the world ended tomorrow....

Think along the lines of nukes (not enough radiation to kill the rest of the world) or like the SK book The Stand (Virus) You and perhaps 1 or 2 people you know personally are among the 10 to 15% of the population left in the US. What would you do with yourself? Perhaps this should be a poll? (shrug) Wanted a weird topic to talk about....plus I am bored.

Until my fiancee gets here in 3 weeks, the only thing I can think of is ... rare purge.

Honestly, I would probably be one of the boring ones that would be planting food and cultivating a new life. After I snagged all the clothes I wanted and a big, beautiful house...

Although, if Crypt and our daughter weren't there with me - I think I would feel very lost and that would be sad.

On a fun note though, I'd want to do all the things I never really felt was OK to do - like swim in the fountains at work and slide down bowling lanes on my tummy and I'd throw my monitor at work out the window like I've been so tempted to do for the last 3 years....

I would run to the nearest vault and hide, then when the radiation settled I would be the one sent out to retrieve a new water chip, for our vault's one broke recently and the other inhabitants will die soon without another. I would roam the wastes, saving people in need, making friends with rabid dogs by feeding them human kebabs, and join technologically advanced brotherhoods. I would learn of a mutant plot to rule the world, and after finding a new water chip I would have to destroy their leader. After performing this task I would be cast out from the vault I saved and be forced to trek the wastes again and found a small tribal village in the northwest.

Familiar anyone? :D

if "the world ended" i guess you mean that society is eradicated for the time being, in wait for some new form of society based on some power structure at a local level, warlord-ish or otherwise. if by some biblical "world ended" you would mean everyone is dead, so it wouldnt matter.

if it's the former, i'd concentrate on staying alive because that would be the biggest challenge, so food, shelter and defense. perhaps eating wild grasses and canned goods from a raided supermarket? the biggest worry would be starving people and violence b/c raided supermarkets only have so many canned goods. since no one knows how to grow anything or really have any practical land working skills at all anymore or really any practical knowledge, people would get viscious x5000 very fast.

if you mean foreknowledge that everything would be destroyed tommorrow, including everyone's lives, i guess i'd cry for a good bit and really hang out intensely with my family and anyone else who ever mattered to me. probably try to find some good sexual outlets along the way too, b/c you know how our DNA tells us to propagate the species most especially at a time when your genes are about to come to a dead end. even if the human brain knows everyone will be gone tommorrow.

If the world ended, in "The Stand" sense, and I lost everyone close to me, I would almost surely kill myself. I'm a pretty social person and both my best friends, Glory_in_Battle and ~Lyghtbane~ are at Basic, so I am really bored and lonely all the time, I dunno what I'd do if I lost my whole family, plus them, all at once.

If not, I'd probably raid a grocery store and drive around looking for people.

On a side note, GIB just graduated basic yesterday and is on AIT for six more weeks. No word from ~LB~ though, but I'll update once I get some news.

i've thought this out.

1. I have buddies that would be calling me up or somehow getting in contact with me, we'd roll a gunshop, fit as much ammo, gun parts and guns into a couple trucks.

2. get neccesary supplies such as building materials, extra clothing, seeds, car parts and other stuff like that

3. drive up north (in wisconsin) take over a small town with a few gas stations and kill everyone there that doesn't submit to our rule, close off the gas tanks

4. chill out, get shelter straightened out, look for survivors, find an untouched watersource and horses

5. maybe a month later, depending on fallout and whatnot start planting crops and make up another city again, slowly getting the nessecities of life togather

6. eventually, in a year or so go out and find survivors, see whats going on outside of our little world

and yes, there will be much madmaxing

I would most likely remove all my clothes, cover my body in maple syrup, spin around in a circle 13 times, bleach my hair, and run down the street aimlessly and see how long I could survive for, AND set a new world record for it while doing it.
