As far as executions...I would say that, IMO ..would depend upon the crime that was committed.
In certain cases I'd much rather just spend a bullet than spend time/manpower and other resources monitering a " chained laborer"

Hot sauce man..hot sauce solves everything.

As a disciple of Namira, I find your lack of tolerance towards cannibalism offensive.

**SilverMK2**

It would also depend entirely on the "end of the world" scenario as to how valuable a human life would be.

**MrDwhitey**

Yeah, never make the mistake of "evicting" people at least. That never ends well.

Also I do believe I've never had hot sauce..

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.

No doubt, I think most groups will either be families and their friends or poorly organized groups that will gladly join us or just won't care if the Dakka Repulic absorbs them. They probably wouldn't object to the sense of security that comes from regular militia patrols. But we'll undoubtedly face bandits and gangs as well, which we'll need to be sure we're prepped for.

@ Dwhitey...

No Fortress should be without them...

**MrDwhitey**

Those bottle labels are worth it by themselves.

There wil be no canabalism. No long pig BBQ, no pull thigh pork sandwiches, no cocksandwiches, nor actual "tea bags" If you die so be it. I divvy up your gear and personnel effect and find a use for your body. Of course I've no issue doing the insurgent thing and packing your body full of explosive and lying it on the road near a observation point

Now now. It's called Cremation. After all, what's stoping the Zombie plague from resurrecting the dead? Besides, it's not cannibalism if we're only using their bodies as fuel for a cooking fire. And that way, the dead are helping out one last time.

**FITZZ**

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating cannibalism...but if for some reason things get bleak, and we're facing starvation...well...pass the hot sauce.

**Corpsesarefun**

Bodies are pretty crap fuel, you have to dry them out for them to burn well and that takes heat and time.

**MrDwhitey**

Plus the smell of cooking meat can drive a man wild, so it's been told...

**Jihadin**

Make sure we get the name on who already volunteer...but do you really want to take that chance on catching the zombie virus? Ever ate bugs and worms? Field mice? Weiner dogs are around..

Besides every reserve and national guard armory have MRE's. Not many people know where to look for them.

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

I could probably help with that, seeing as I've done distillation quite a few times in my Organic Chemistry labs.

Heck I could probably steal some O.Chem sets and other equipment from a college lab if I had plans for it beforehand.

**Corpsesarefun**

Distillation and the production of non-edible alcohol I can do, making something that actually tastes nice is slightly harder

The gear would be greatly appreciated though.

**Jihadin**

why do I see a small mushroom cloud appearing......

Well...If the zombie virus wasn't present in the body prior to death then it won't be there at all ( if we're going by ZSG rules).
Haven't eaten bugs or worms since I was a kid...but don't turn my nose up at " strange food"..field mice..nope...but I eat squirrel...which is just bushy tailed rat.

I can make scuppernong wine..

**Ahtman**

Your in Georgia just outside of Atlanta and you will eat squirrel, which I believe makes you Daryl from The Walking Dead.

**Corpsesarefun**

And now I can too, the process is pretty simple and a lot like cider making.

Yeah it's a pretty easy process, my Grandmother used to have tons of vines in her back yard and made the wine quite a bit....they can be used to make jam as well, and require very little care to grow.

@ Ahtman....

...I love squirrel meat...so Daryl I shall be.

In most cases, the dead will probably have bled out pretty quickly, So a lot of the work will be done for us. And I said they'd make good -fuel- for a fire, not a good source of kindling. Once we get a good fire going, putting the prepared body of one of our honoured dead on it for fuel would be a pretty good idea.

I'm good with this...when my time comes feel free to use me for fuel...just make sure the bastard that got me is burning somewhere as well.

my grandma makes apricot everything...she showed me how to make them into jelly and preserves...

so if you guys ever have a craving for apricots...

**metallifan**

I just realized, we need a storyteller and historian to chronicle and retell the tale of the fall of civilization and the rise of the Dakka Republic to future generations. After all, those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. I'm a fairly decent writer, and I love history. I could easily document the D.R.'s rise, though my storytelling is a bit weak. We need a Scandinavian. Or at least someone of Scandinavian descent. Where's Shadowbrand when you need that red-bearded bastard?

Time and heat I'm not sure we're willing to commit. So I'm for "fertilizer" or a IED...with 3rd rate weapons in view alongside of road in view of an OP. So when a "visitor" comes upon it...he/she will follow the directions to ensure we are safe before we start a dialogue. Besides...a body can be trading material to...example giving is True Grit....some survivor group going to have a dentist in need of teeth...I'm for fertilizer still..minus the teeth. We can grow quite a bit of food
