Depends - are they raiding out of necessity? Entertainment? Greed? If it's the former, I say offer them a place in the Dakka Republic under probation. If it's entertainment, they're obviously dangerous and will likely kill someone the first chance they get. In this case, I say we execute them, though give their corpses the same preperation and respects as we would any citizen of the Republic. If it's Greed, we exile them and caution them never to set foot within the borders of the Dakka Republic, now or ever. There's no place for greed in the process of rebuilding civilization.

Wow..seriously...not sure what to say...killing a man is simple. Its the effect afterwards that one has to deal with. That flip comment right there shows your lack of knowledge on that. Its easy to squeeze the trigger at someone in your sights while in combat. After four shoot outs you become aware how easy it is to take another mans life. I'm not a murderer which I seriously hope your not implying. To be blunt I can be a killer when the need calls for it but I can't walk up to someone and "gun him down". So really what were you trying to say.

I will bow out before I get mad and start spewing gak at you. We are 2 different types of people, lets just keep it at that

Exactly..we're two different animals with two different background

Well, I think the taking of a life should be a last resort in pretty much any situation but there are some cases when you catch a guy who is just a sadistic killer or thief or rapist or a group that intends nothing more than to take your life or your supplies from you...

There are some situations where you just can't negotiate anymore. But you can use that to send a message...

Nothing says "Don't feth with us." Like a body swaying in the breeze under a tree...

Yeah that's morbid and cruel, but the apocalypse won't be a cake walk and it wont be your average sensationalized court case either...desperate time, desperate measures and all that...

Thats a situation that calls for it. I be the frist to say...run a serial child molester, rapist, killer up a highway lamp and let him swing. Straight out killer well he/she be determined to take a few of us along for a ride. Raiders/looters I say brand them on the forehead "raider" or "looter" and let them go with nothing. Those with tech skills we give them a choice. Mind you we interrogate them seperately and keep them seperately apart.

Do we have any teachers? If civilization is falling, a few of us might be handy. I would leave it to you guys to think of short term needs and goals for survival. I would be worried about long term effects on society and what future leaders would need once civilizaiton started to rebuild. We may have chemists and engineers, but teaching is a whole other skill. I'm a quick learn and can pick up new subjects easily as well as being able to present them to kids in a way that they can understand and enjoy.

I can teach K-12 Music, Social Studies (Political Science, Economics, Rhetoric, History), Language Arts (Literature, Writing) and K-8 Math, Science.

I can play just about any wind instrument (trumpet, clarinet, tuba, ect), voilin, viola and cello and I sing pretty well too. I play piano and guitar as well. I can compose and teach others to play and sing with reletive ease.

I'm 5'8", 170 lbs, very good shape. I camp and hike frequently. I'm an avid gardner with a keen interest it botany.

You fit right in. We're going to have to maintain a standard of education. Granted I know a lot of us would breathe a sigh of relief if there were no kids but ankle biters are going to be there. If someone brings up "no child left behind" or some silly program in effect to today well...we throw in classes like Reload, home explosive, and Pledge of Alligence Dakka

Aye, entertainment in the Dakka-pocalypse is going to be important for morale. we will need teachers too; it isn't all about blowing apart zombies. What are our thoughts on people who protest to established rules, for example, if we outlawed beer/ drugs/ insert appropriate item here and a large group of the settlement rebelled against it?

Outlaw.......beer?
drugs...well...figure after a year we really won't be on the supply line for drugs from the south
Insert appropiate item here...we're talking sex right?

I have one question:

How much Ramen Noodles will we have? It's the one food addiction I can't seem to get over

I'd be on the "rebelling against it " side...
If people want to drink. smoke...do drugs and shack up with a dozen people...it's their business...so long as no ones high or drunk when they're supposed to be TCBing I couldn't care less about enforcing some silly concept of " morality".

Hell, the damn things have a shelf life of almost forever...and come in boxes of 24 or more....you can have all you want.

yeah, good point.

Actually, I was speaking generally as a fill in the gaps kind of comment, but yes, that will suffice. Basically, what I'm asking is what would we do about an inside rebellion or schism.

Well....if we have ramien noodles...and only ramien noodles to keep from starving....pass me the chopsticks and hot sauce

Jihadin wrote:Well....if we have ramien noodles...and only ramien noodles to keep from starving....pass me the chopsticks and hot sauce

ill stick with my worms and dirt,covered in the chicken/beef flavor powder from the noodles. ill leave the plain noodle to whoever.

Exactly, stay focused when your OTJ...but when your on your time ( as much as one could expect to have) do what you will.
... BTW, first person who starts griping about/persecuting "gay couples"...gets shot..

More food for Liquid. Needs the carb to keep up his sprinting needs. As for say we have a break in the Fortress I'm sure we can hammered it out in the council meeting. If any of you all call me a elder I...I...eat my ramiens

If this can be implemented in vehicles by the zombie apocalypse, we may not have to worry about fuel after all:

Endless fuel supply...nice.

I have to draw the line at open dating on the lambs....need to keep that behind close doors...we have kids running about

Wait..wha?...You have to draw the line at dating lambs?...Dude...I'm pretty damn open minded about what folks do between the sheets....but I'd have to agree that lambs...and other food sources...are definitely off limits when it comes to " relationships".

Yea, I'm not fond of the idea of "Cream of Lamb"

Another Question: Where is Fort Dakka going to be located?

I'm assuming not close to any major cities? And close enough to America's Hat that our Canadian brothers can get there?

Hmm, dealing with some harsh winters if we're that far up...
I'd definitely suggest we locate somewhere near abundent hunting and fishing grounds, also somewhere that crops wouldn't suffer.

Unless we're in the South, there will always be harsh winters...I live in St. Louis and we still get 2-3 months of below freezing weather, and plenty of snow/ice to go with it :/

If we go further up north, the weather might be enough to deter some of the less dedicated raiders.
