When Civilisation collapes

[heyheysg]

What would you do in a Hobbesian Society? A world where civil rules don't matter any more and survival of the fittest is very real.

E.g. Earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, looting, robbing etc.

Zombie Apocalypse, leaving your friends to die, or shooting them in the head.

What about other 'crimes' like rape, arson, jaywalking etc?

i would join a gang as soon as possible and then just do what's necessary to survive.

When Civilization collapses we might be able to spell words correctly. ;p

 

[BlindMessiah94]

I'd go find a quiet corner to myself away from everyone.

This.

Now, as strange as you all may find that thought, cooperation is as viable strategy of survival as beating people to death and taking all their stuff. Something in the mold of gathering a group of like-minded survivors to share all things - good, bad, and "meh".

Then i'd dig up Hobbes and violate his skeleton.

I would form a gang, head to Homebase and Tesco's the wait for people to join our gang or die. Once we have a gang of 30 strong, head to the local motorbike dealership (conveniently they are all within 5 minutes walk from each other) and then try and survive

Suicide, its the only way out!

 

[Biosophilogical]

I'd grab tents and supplies and form a gang in the bush (with anti-venoms and stuff raided from the hospital). That way, anyone who tries to get us will have to risk death by nature, and we have the supplies necessary to perform raids on those who pose a threat to us. Also, it would be a bundle of fun, like Lord of the Flies (I hate that book so much, it was a compulsory read) except better, and less stupid and immature.

Get my carving knife, attatch it to a broomstick via lots of selotape so i have a makeshift spear, join up with my friends on campus. The campus flats themselves would be a good base of operations, you have to go through two locked doors to get into a flat+usually quite a bit flight of stairs which would easy to defend. We would then have to conduct raids on various food places- hopefully if we have a car that would be a lot easier.

I live in the country. Everyone knows everyone. I doubt anything would change.

 

[LongAndShort]

Get my family together and work to keep them safe. That'd be my only concern and if i have to kill a few... dozen... hundred... thousand... people to do it, then so fucking be it. If I don't, well, that's cool as well. I'd judge it on a case by case basis.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Just call me the Shadow Broker.

 

[Blackvegie]

First I'd whisper 'no' to all the whores and politicians. Then I'd board up my house and live off my baked beans. My biggest crime would probably be stealing lots of shit.

 

[CouchCommando]

Move to the high ground in wilderness and secure a clean water source up stream, stock pile ammunition ,fire arms ,building materials and tools, livestock ,tinned goods ,medicine ,fuel and recruits en-route, also raid local library and book store for survivalist guides and any relevant information on crops and animal husbandry ,All movements to be under the cover of darkness. Spend rest of time fortifying/watching approaches, and send scouting parties to recon surrounds from a distance whilst monitoring air waves and phone lines, to find out wtfs going on.
Reason for going into wilderness- less people less shit that can happen. ie; looting, rape ,robbery and just general mayhem.

 

[ace_of_something]

First thing is first: I need Figure out what crazy football pad, chains, gimp mask combo I'm going to wear in my motorcycle gang.

 

[wooty]

Go hunting for the nicest and coolest car I could find, go joyriding around the country for a few days until I get bored, then I'll probably just drink myself to death because there would be nothing worth staying alive for after that

 

[James Hueick]

If that shit went down no one who care about jay walking.

Depends whether you're on the side of the Atlantic Ocean that speaks English or thinks they speak English.

Slightly more on topic: I'd rearrange my civics and wait a few turns until order is restored.

More more on topic: I'd probably end up panicking and trying to find people I can actually trust, holding out in a supermarket or something.
