So, I didn't bother to read this entire thread...I'm just too cool for that shit:cool: but anyway:
I read The Zombie War so I think I would do what alot of people did in that book...hole myself up in the colder climes and wait until the bastards froze solid and then take an axe to as many as I could find.


Edit:
Oh and if my response is completely off-topic, Sorry-I'll try to actually read it next time, I promise.

It was fine. Good idea, but I can't stand the cold.

So you survived the apocalypse. Now what?

So I saw a pretty abysmal post apocalyptic movie the other night (Tooth and Nail), which, despite its short-comings got me to thinking about what I would do if I survived the apocalypse.

NOTE: Not how to survive the apocalypse, because I haven't come up with a solid answer for that one (SO tempted to climb a water tower to avoid the onslaught of zombies... but I think that that might come back as a bad decision).

In Tooth and Nail there were two distinct groups (which you also see in most post-apocalyptic mythos films like Road Warrior or Children of Men), which can be generalized as such:
  • Fulfilling the social contract - By fulfilling the social contract your aims are fairly altruistic and more interested in Humankind's progression as a WHOLE. You either lead or become part of a group of people trying to reconstruct a semblance of society. Surrogate nuclear family is created.
  • Becoming part of or THE Leviathan - You take full advantage of the lack of penal rule to propagate anarchist society. The perfect primal example of true freedom (freedom to steal, rape, pillage, kill). This is more about surviving, this is also about megalomaniac narcissism and control. Being able to act without legal or social repercussions (take that as you will).

OR
  • Fuck the groups. You're a loner. - Not necessarily fighting the good fight against the Leviathan and not necessarily being part of the social contract... You just survive as and for... you.

Of course, these are generalizations and may be edited/changed to whatever you would like.

Also, feel free to choose your own apocalypse (Zombie, Disease, Starvation, War) as that might affect your answer.


The point is: What would you do if you survived the apocalypse?

That would depend if my family survived with me. If they did I would fall into the first group....Fulfilling the social contract.

If not then most def I would go the loner route.

I know what the social contract would entail, fuck that I'm part of the leviathan.

I have no faith in the powers that be and have already made contingencies for an apocalyptic situation.

I'm a "loner" but with a huge family contingency plan.

A good house in a small valley surrounded by tall mountains that could keep both radioactive fallout and an army of the undead at bay. We have food stores and a local lake that not only provides fish, but the rising humidity helps keep the radiation levels low,
