Survival

[Slothy]

The world's ending. We all know it. We've seen the news, we watch the Walking Dead, and the guy who looks like he hasn't showered in a month yells it at me when I walk to the bank.

So faced with the inevitability of our own destruction there's only one question: are you prepared?

What survival skills do you have that are going to carry you through to the other side of the apocalypse? Know how to shoot a gun? Dress a wound? Scavenge for food? Clean an animal? Start a fire? Went camping with your family a few times and know how to read the directions for setting up the tent? What say you all?

Me, I've watched every episode of Survivorman and married a woman that already knows a surprising amount about how to survive in the wilderness. I also have an assortment of knives, fire starters, and I'm not that squeamish. Unless a spider comes at me anyway, then I run screaming like a little girl. I would not last in the Australian outback.

[Night Fury]

I would probably be one of the first people to die. I know nothing.

[Chris]

I use the same skills as I use now. I'm in pretty good shape and I also have a couple of medals in junior wrestling, so come at me bro! Also, I can use this pretty mug of mine to seduce strict millitant leaders.

[Pumpkin]

I would not survive.

[Aulayna]

I don't really know any, and living in the middle of a city I imagine I'd hit the dust preeeeetty quickly

[Madame Adequate]

Yeah I doubt I'd make it very far, unless it was zombies, because holy trout am I ready to deal with zombies. (I would be eaten within ten minutes)

At least that's longer than the zombie who ate you.

I thought that I would have been pretty well prepared because I was raised to be prepared. However, after watching "The Road" with Viggo Mortensen I now think differently. There are just too many crazies out there who love an unpoliced countryside. You'll need a lot of guns and know how to shoot them, which I don't. However, zombies would be no problem.

[Psychotic]

I imagine I would be raped and murdered fairly quickly in a post-apocalyptic society.

If it was just me in the wilderness, well, I don't have the first smurfing clue. I am intelligent and resourceful but that's not going to be enough to see me through. I'd probably die in that scenario too.

[Pike]

Nope, I'd be dead.

[Shauna]

I think I'd join the ranks of those who wouldn't last long. xD

Imagine a buncha nerds on a Final Fantasy forum imagining they won't seriously survive in some kind of apocalypse. :3

[Chris]

[Jinx]

The whole point of it being the end of the world is that it's the END.

Ain't no one survin'.

[Night Fury]

Anyway Vivi, you'll definitely survive because you'll be on MARS remember? You're just gonna be looking down laughing like a crazy man all "I TOLD YOOOOOOU!"

Obviously...

[Slothy]

That does sound awesome. Hopefully the terraforming will be complete and we'll have transplanted some animal species to the red planet in time. I don't think life would be worth living without some steak or a decent cheeseburger.

I'm also slightly disappointed by the lack of can do attitude in this thread. We're gamers! We can do anything*!




*That the developers allow us to.
