If fallout was real....

[kieranbhoy]

This isnt exacly fallout new vegas but will be......

 

Ok what if a nuclear war did happan and 95% of the population was wiped out how would we survive? unlike fallout the bombs probebly wont fall in 2077 but the the worlds going it will happen so ive been playing fallout mainly since f3 and ive been watchin movies about post apoccolyptic life so heres what i say are the most important things neede to survive

 

A shelter(to live in and protect from radation)

Water source(spring lake ect)

food source (animals crops ect)

 

then you will have to think about currency and civilisation and protection since its not fallout there will be no plasma or laser weapons or anything

 

so just think and post your ideas or what job you will be good at. for me id probebly be a scavenger collecting supplies

 

 

so what will you do at the end of the world?

also vote on weather you think the world will turn to this

Oh, don't worry about that, it won't happen like this. Democrats are gaining too much control. They'll have our nuclear capabilities completely exposed to a first strike attack because they told the world how many nuclear weapons we have active or completely dismantled along with our ICBM defenses long before we have a danger of actually making a decision to retaliate with equal devastation. What will most likely happen is our enemies will pretend to disarm, then one day, when we are so liberal we think that no one could possibly ever attack us, terrorists will eventually get a hold of a few nuclear weapons, probably from Iran when they finally get their nuclear operation up and running, attack our major cities, then an opportunistic enemy such as Iran or North Korea will take advantage of our disarray and invade us. Of course, since the UN is better at talking than actually doing, they'll set idly by and attempt to negotiate and find some liberal-imaginary-world diplomatic solution while we're being slaughtered because by then we won't even have handguns with which to defend ourselves. But at least Atheists will be happy because whoever our invaders are, they'll likely target Christians more than anyone else because Communists have a long history of killing Christians more than any other in the name of Atheism and violent Islamic nations that hate us like Iran and Saddam-ruled Iraq are pretty much hostile towards Christianity more than any other religion, except Judaism, as well.

 

So, you have nothing to worry about, it won't be a wasteland, we'll just become part of another nation is all, after a good number of us are killed, tortured, molested, and raped, not necessarily in that order, although I've heard some pretty cooky things about some of our enemies.

 

Our nuclear bombed cities will be like it was in Japan at the end of WWII when we bombed them to end the war. We'll probably be more like what's happening in Japan now.

However, I would still like to imagine and answer your question.

 

I think I would probably just associate myself to rebuilding with whatever group of people I happened to be with at the time. However, I'm a bit of a loner, so eventually, I would get annoyed staying in one place, Perhaps I would wonder off to the wilderness, find a new place to live alone, after all, living out in the rural areas covered by forest is my ultimate retirement dream. Perhaps if I saw the need, I would attempt to travel out and find other surviving people in an effort to attempt to join with as many people as possible to help improve our group economy and to raise our numbers for self-defense against other groups who now that there is not law, would prefer to pillage and steal rather than just live peacefully.

 

I know it wouldn't be like the movies, most people would just settle down with their respective groups and just attempt to peacefully survive and would likely join other groups naturally for the first decade, at least, because I think it would take a decade or two for people to truly feel isolated enough from what they once were to not join with a group of fellow countrymen in a larger community all striving for the same goals of survival.

 

I seriously doubt there would be numerous bands of evil empirical raiders or gangs roaming the cities. Most of those gangs would lose members to local communities because their members would likely be too scared to remain on the evil side of things because they know that the justice system will be much more crude, as in most crimes will come with the death penalty by some law-enforcement militia created by those small local communities, sort of like it was in wild west times here in America.

 

Some local crime gangs would rise to some power amidst the starvation and lack of law enforcement, but only a few that see no other option would actually join those gangs.

 

Anyhow, it would still be foolish not to join and combine with other local communities for the benefit of the common good, and that would be one of the most important tasks that needed to be accomplished in a post-apocalyptic wasteland for three things, prosperity, self-defense, and to re-aquire the benefits of sharing still working technologies and re-figure out how to apply them in different areas for everyone to utilize. The first most important thing would be too ensure prosperity over the next winter and each consecutive winters. The second, and it's close the first, self defend-ability. The third would be figuring out how to utilize technologies and re-learn them. All of these most important things are best done by having more people in a community, thus the most important thing of all would be the longer-term goal of finding other communities of survivors and have them all join each other. This would also cut down on bandits and gangs as people would see that there is a better life than always looking over your shoulder wondering if today will be your last.

 

We would have some problems with gangs like in the American wild west times, but the problems wouldn't be as bad as they are in the movies, they'd be bad here and there while in most places there would be no problem with gangs.

 

I don't really think we'd have a problem with raiders and gangs until about 1 or 2 decades or so when unfortunate people are really suffering from the lack of resources that we are so spoiled with today and have forgotten what it was like when we had peace. People don't usually stay with gangs because they think it's cool, they usually do it out of feeling that they have no other option if they want to survive.

 

However, if it's been several decades or even centuries, and we are still in a wasteland with little, if any, improvement, then it's not going to get any better. I would likely look for a community or a comfortable place to live with accessible water, shoot my food, possibly farm or be a farm-hand, and have a roof over my head. I would probably try and influence my community to focus on self-defense, political participation, but in a community that small most will likely participate in it's politics already, economic improvement, and working together with other nearby communities, and perhaps even combining with other communities to make a semi-state of communities all working together.

If Fallout came upon us I believe my USMC training would kick in and I would black out and awake in the future when I was old and not knowing what happened. It would be interesting tho to see it in real life, like a theme park setting maybe.

LOLWUT?

 

Ok first off... Its a much better idea to let other countries keep hold of loose nukes for no reason right? Makes perfect sense!

 

"being slaughtered because by then we won't even have handguns with which to defend ourselves. But at least Atheists will be happy because whoever our invaders are, they'll likely target Christians more than anyone else because Communists have a long history of killing Christians more than any other in the name of Atheism and violent Islamic nations that hate us like Iran and Saddam-ruled Iraq are pretty much hostile towards Christianity more than any other religion, except Judaism, as well."

 

1. Liberals do not want to ban guns, they want to limit ammo in guns so people can't shoot 50 rounds off at once.

 

2. Communists have NEVER killed in the name of Atheism, what f***ing sense does that make?

 

3. Atheists believe in logical solutions and killing a bunch of people doesn't make any damn sense.

 

4. Atheists hate every religion but Judaism? WHAT?

 

Now to your other post, gangs will not rule a thing.

 

In the case on a nuclear attack gangs will be in major cites, meaning they will be directly hit. Law enforcement would not exist.

 

You might want to check out the debate section by the way.

I'll most likely be a raider, sadly im not kidding, Protecting my family with clean clothing and good food would be more important to me then anyone else in the wasteland and if I gotta take em by force, so be it

Read the book "Alas, Babylon." It's pretty old but definitely in line with what you're talking about.

Actually, with the way the world is going, its likely not to ever happen. Tactical nuclear warheads are only effective on massed enemy formations, and such tactics are antiquated. Guerrilla warfare is the present, and future of combat, and makes most everything else, such as battle tanks, strategic missiles, and strategic bombers more or less useless, expensive figureheads.
