Premise: Could ATS members actually form a post SHTF (virtual) community? Could we get beside our differences, and create a post civilized world?
Would we band together or fall apart? Could we do this?
Background Story: The date is April 15th, the year 2012. The NasDaq takes a plunge, and allows the world's economies follow suit. Looting occurs
in the major cities, and Obama declares Martial Law across the USA. You have your bug out bag ready, and now is the time to move. You grab your
bugout stuff, and decide to move. But where?
This is a hypothetical game, but I'm establishing a few rules:
On-Topic Posts: Keep all responses to this thread as an inflection of the game. Stay in your role. You must take on the role of your Survivalist
persona, the supplies you have to share, etc. Off-topic posts are discouraged.
Pics (or it didn't happen): You must post pics of the supplies you have. Any Survivalist knows to only share a portion of your goods, and you can
have a hidden stash of goods. Play crafty, what supplies you have are what you want to share. Each player in this game get's 1 (one) outrageous
stash. An outrageous stash would be something like an RPG, with four shells. Or a stash of 100 gallons of water.
ATS transponders: ATS mailed out a bunch (thousands) of transponders right before TSHTF. ATS transponders allow every member of ATS to communicate
easily, regardless of their own internet connection. The ATS provided transponders allow all members of ATS to communicate equally, regardless of
location.
Can you establish Camps? As members of ATS, could you keep a geographically induced camp, and get it to thrive?
A camp radius is five hundred miles. I'd like to see which camps grow biggest. There's logistics to handle, which is the whole point. Do you have
enough water to give your camp?
Do you have enough food? It's down to trading.
Here are my initial supplies I have:
4 full gas cans of these:
5 gallons x 4 = 20 gallons of gas. My four by four gets 15 mpg, so I can travel 300 miles. I gotta pic a spot close.
5 cases of these:
48 packs per case, times 5= 240 meals.
and, 5 cases of these:
There are 4 gallons in a case. I have 20 gallons of fresh water. I need to find a creek.
We are dealing with realism here.
Where should we form a camp? I'm in NE Ohio, so place it within 500 miles, and we can establish it. I expect other people to report their camps as
well.
ATS transponder: "Over and out."
