    Disaster Preparedness and Survival Training

    Not much you can do unless you know scientists from a good chemistry department/research hospital except stock up and hope civilization restarts quickly. Also buy A Barefoot Doctor's Manual - I think they had acupuncture for asthma, IIRC. Edit: for the record there is hope for diabetics if...

    @Phazael the world doesn't go immediately to shit, and 9/11 should show you that the people affected by a disaster don't all immediately go "fuck you all I'm getting out." The only world ending events that don't have some warning such as global thermonuclear war are generally so devastating...

    Depends on how well he has integrated into the community and his particular skill set. I would agree, it would be a little tacky for him to expect the community to help him if he had previously done nothing for the community and wasn't a doctor or other needed specialty.

    Yep. The smart prepper wouldn't be building a bunker in the middle of nowhere he'd be buying a house in a small town somewhere, maybe with a little acreage, and joining the local elk club.

    Yeah. I didn't get Vaclav's point at all. One of the best places to survive is in a small town, particularly if it is in an agricultural area. Small towns stick together.

    Speak for yourself buddy. As long as a person is not planning to stay in a big city they have a decent chance of survival. As a species we've survived ice ages, wars, black death, famines and etc.

    You should be more concerned about a nasty quake not the end of civilization. At the least, you should own a motorcycle so you can get out of LA if the big one hits and hang out in Phoenix until things improve.

    Disaster Preparedness and Survival Training

    You are describing a scenario more likely to happen to the non prepped or the poorly prepped. The trick is not to prep via unsustainable storage of a limited amount of goods but to prep your own going forward food supply like Brutal's ranch (though he should also be growing some basic foods...

    Cow manure = source of potassium nitrate, locate a source of sulfur and you have gun powder (charcoal is easy). Read up on Fischer Tropsch, and coal gasification. No reason for you to run out of gunpowder or diesel. Or for anyone to take your shit.

    This is wrong, also the Wolf v. Sheep guy is wrong. Trey Parker got it right. You've got pussies, dicks and assholes in the real world and in the MMO world. You are only describing 1/3 (I'll guess) of the playerbase: the Pussies who want Monty Haul no-risk/all-reward games. You are not...

    Will add that the two biggest data collection nightmares are the original starting areas and APW and post 50 content. I could give a crap about the post 50 content but would be nice to save the original starting zones (though starting gnome zone is a goner along with original pota and that...

    At close of beta they gave everyone griffons Kojani goes to around 20-22. There's Ceros Isle which had level 50 content and the random level 50 Ulvaris that used to be (still are) in the middle of nowhere. Not sure if Ceros still has content either. The crazy stuff is that the...

    Eh. Once you start pick and choosing your tedium you are screwed. Eventually people will bitch about whatever tedium remains in the game and developers will cave. Things shouldn't be eliminated because they are tedious (book in face) but because they're unbalancing and (book in face opens...

    You don't want "unnecessary tedium" which you don't define and which runs counter to your earlier "some tedium" comment. Your post is unclear and farty at both ends. But whatever I think you were the first to realize Pantheon will be vanilla WoW so you are still a winner in my book in the face.
