But that would entail me getting closer to the people I would be trying to shoot, thus giving them a better chance to shoot/stab/murder/burninate me.

Ahhh kk. So get the saw off and I can let you use a hunting rifle with a good scope and you can snipe. hows that?

Hey Jihadin, I may have to take you up on that Hockey Rink - we've covered a lot of our survival aspects, but we haven't looked into recreation at all. Won't be all action, all the time. We'll need some sort of sport to keep us entertained - why not make it Hockey?

My recreation is blowing things up and experimenting on making new weapons

Never seen a bunch of canadian in a cement hockey rink?




It was the most watched sport on Kandahar lol

We can do it and they will come


Corpse...detcord....ugh....like I said...our demo guy atm till something enlightened happens

Like I said, won't be all action, all the time. And we'll want to avoid too much racket, lest we become a target for Zombies or hostile survivor groups. Plus, blowing stuff up for amusement uses valuable resources. We can't waste Bonbaonbardlements like that in a Zombie Apocalpocalpse.

Sigh, you are right I suppose.

I guess I'll just cook then.

And Jihadin, it's called a 'Street rink'. Even though there's a profound lack of a street through it.

Corpses, you're an Englishman. And the first thing any trueblooded Englishman would do post-apocalypse is start up his own Brewery. We'll need beers for those hot summer days, and a still for making hard liquor which is a must for any first-aid kit in the absence of proper rubbing alcohol. Plus, it could catch us some good loot trading booze to other survivor communities. You know in your heart you'd make a mean brewmaster.

Corpse....its an old american tradition...a still....make it happen...we have birthdays to celebrate...and everyday a birthday...if not...hungry calf time

Metal...there it was hockey and fun...10 minutes in the rink...at that heat...

I should probably go learn how to make booze then, drinkable booze that is.

Atta' boy. It's a great way to dispose of any fruit or vegetable trimmings/shavings and bad produce.

if its bad for human consumption but ignitable....I can show you how to make napalm mines.

One thing of abundance we have is 550 cord. Since we're in a wooded area...trip lines every three feet. Zombies are dumb. Humans trying to approach us will give away their position from all the cussing....napalm mines work good to

Jihadin wrote:if its bad for human consumption but ignitable....I can show you how to make napalm mines.

And flamethrowers. People say that flamethrowers are useless in the Zombie Apocalypse, but I beg to differ. They'll make defense much easier against living opponents, we'll be able to start cooking fires in wet weather, we can heat water quickly with the same tech, and we can use the fuel as an igniting agent for lanterns as well, since supplies of electricity and batteries out in the field will likely be rare at best.

Cider seems pretty easy, beer and spirits seem to be quite a bit harder.

corpsesarefun wrote:Cider seems pretty easy, beer and spirits seem to be quite a bit harder.

With good instructions, you can make all of them with random scrap, but yes, cider is easytown.

Oh, I KNOW what I can do. I can cook! I can make cheese also!

And I know my way around a handful of guns, so I wouldn't be useless there and I know a lot of chemistry, that can't possibly fail to come in handy.

Much better.
Less of a chance for me to get horribly, horribly murdered.

Excellent, you and Corpses can be in charge of brewing and chemical weapons. Probably a good idea to have both operations in seperate bunkers though...

Two lacation is playing it safe I agree. So every friday night we can "taste test" the product and try to vote who is better.

Trit your in. Sure we can get chemicals for you. No tailor made drugs for recreation. We do not need a building to explode because you wanted to make a "root beer soda" of course you can also spend time helping with booze section

corpsesarefun wrote:Cider seems pretty easy, beer and spirits seem to be quite a bit harder.

I got the gear and a couple of good books to get you started on beer.

Jake

Excellent.

Will anyone be wanting wine? It's pretty easy to make but getting that quantity of grapes will be a pain.

Oh! I just remembered! I have a beer making machine! It even has a tap right on it! All we need is some yeast, sugar, water, and those mini CO2 cartriges. Raiding paintball, airsoft, general DIY and outdoor sporting stores should be at the top of the list so we can always have a choice between carbonated beers or ale. I mean, sometimes you want a good blonde, lager, or pilsner after popping zombies, and sometimes you'll want a nice smooth amber ale or a hard-hitting black ale. Just because the world is ending doesn't mean we can't have a choice of brews

corpsesarefun wrote:Excellent.

Don't worry, if we can find someone certified to fly aircraft, and if we can strike a deal with Okanagan Valley survivors, we could get a tonne of grapes from remaining BC Wineries once a month in exchange for booze and any excess/salvaged weapons that we don't have the logistical capacity for. The great thing aboot Canada is that because Western Canada is so spread out, and major population centres tend to be few and far between, most of the farms there will probably still be operating.

This is turning out nicely. So how would we run our little fortress. Gov't wise...I'm not for Might makes Right....Common sense rule appeal to me.

Hmmm I can see Metal idea gaining popular support. I like that. I've no desire to store 2nd/3rd rate weapons but as trading material...It'll do very very nicely.

Council ...discussion...one man one vote.

Council ...discussion...one man/woman over 18 one vote.

Fixed it for you

I can go with that.

I'm not for excution individuals for capital crimes. I would perfer hard labor in ankle chains. Prisoner will not get a free ride. They will contribute to the community. Of course I leave that up to discussion at a "Round Robin" sitting around the ole bonfire...taste testing some home brew

I think 1 vote, 1 man would be the best plan, with any laws implemented sans vote being of the 'common sense' variety (ie - citizens may only carry sidearms in camp, except for posted guards. All other weapons must be securely stored in armoury when not in use)

I do think we would need to discuss the idea of being prepared to implement marshall law, as well as basic law enforcement needs, should our community ever branch out at all. Your land will sustain us for a time, but reclaimation and settling of the surrounding land will also be inevitable as our population increases with other survivors joining us. War with opposing groups of survivors is also a reality, and we need to be prepared to handle violent opposition when we annex future lands for the good of all.

So if they roll up in a Challenger Battle Tank? Which wouldn't suprise me....just locating space for it be interesting. Thing FoB Fortress Dakka is going multinational. Think we can recreate a world gov't?

We could probably get a few onto a ferry and sail it on over. The great thing about being an island nation is there are lots of big boats, and lots of people who know how to drive them.

I can see that but intimidation and envy is a pain in the arse to deal with. So if we need to do a face to face with another group to trade with need to overawe. I would like for them to slide into the fold of Fortress Dakka. Just because they're going to see how well we are off. If the balloon goes up I want to crush them as quickly as possible and take out the shooters.

Royal Navy has amphibous ships of the Perseus class. You can get quite a few challenger and what not onto them. More people and supplies. Make way to the great lakes and land north of Green Bay. I figure with US armor along with UK armor....we're making the bad people guessing what the Hell on who we are
