Bullet would be quicker. But it's not just nursing homes. Do we need to send "care teams" to all of the hospitals and hospices?

Why go out of your way? If in the course of gathering resources you find one, pick it over and do a case by case. Who know one of those codgers may know how to witch water, or build a natural filtration system. I wouldn't gas them out of hand. Still some scary ass Vietnam vets around too. My Grandad is nearly 80 a veteran of Korea and Vietnam and I'm pretty sure he'd survive longer post Apoc than most folks half his age.

Back to the topic of Women. Will there be women?

Of course they'll be women, and further more I'd see absolutely no reason for limiting the amount of partners one could have ( other than personal choice).
...If a man/woman wants to have multiple partners...and everyone ( involved) is happy with the situation...go to.

**Jihadin**

I can see that now. 80 yrs old vet knocking aside a person on a crew serve weapon to the side to show him/her how its really done. I would even pause in fire to get a good laugh out of it...and go back to firing if he looks my way

**lord commissar klimino**

it seems the only law we will be keeping is 'no murder'.

Yeah...again I'm not advocating sending out " hunting parties" to the old folks homes, but if one is encountered...assessments of the people there would be in order before any actions are taken.

**Jihadin**

Yes...no murders...help opting out or easing one's transition I can see. If we come across say a raider force in their post celebration of taking over another commune I would not hestitate in putting a round in a rapist head. Be a pause before I do it like "You are hearby condemned to death for raping innocents" BANG

edit
The case by case does appeal to me to. Like whats are status in supplies, how many mouths we have to feed, what are needs in manpower, what can they offer/trade skills, and if any us a "granny" fan...I leave it at that. I pretty much ask if they wanna opt out or keep up if you can.

**kronk**

We'll need building materials.

You'll want to make homes energy efficient (keeps the heat in during winter and out during summer) to keep fuel usage low.

There's lots of wind turbines in West Texas, but farm land isn't that great out there. Perhaps solar power cells.

Yep. We'll need to raid a solar power warehouse.

Hardly...Stealing from the group/individule would be a high crime, in fact most " laws" that we function under now would still be in place in some form or other...
Of course many would be modified for practicality...two folks fighting certainly wouldn't result in some goofy lawsuit or incarceration...it would be a simple matter of " settle you gak...we've got bigger fish to fry."

**kronk**

If you are caught fighting, you get shackled together for 24 hours.

Worked for the Pilgrims!

well,they deserve it.

i think it would save time to just list the rules were ARE going to keep,not all the ones we arnt.

also im sure morals will almost cease to exist. and self control. i know ill have to fight back putting rounds in so many people heads.

idiot: "hey guys...i put the wrong fuel in this car,and now something broke."

Yeah...forcing anyone into an unwanted sexual situation would ,IMO, be a crime punishable by insta-death.

... Hmm, you'd do well to keep in mind that others , who also have guns, may decide that your urge's to shoot other survivors for your own motives is detrimental to our situation.

**Jihadin**

We've a gladiator pit. Why shackle them for 24 hours while we can have an evening of entertainment. No lethal weapons. Either fist fight till last man or woman standing or get in the sumo wrestling suits

edit
I think if someone screw up a equipment we can figure a non lethal way to punish the individual. We do need labor to spread manure by hand. Throw in half rations or bread and water for a week.....or we start caning. Can't see anyone putting the wrong gas in a vehicle...because for one I put "diesel only" or "Reg gas only" above the gas hatch.

**kronk**

Dang. Why didn't the pilgrims think of gladiator pits? Stupid pilgrims.

it was a joke. i was merely stating that things like that probably would happen,and it would defiantly give me the urge.

im also certain i wouldn't be the 1st to shoot,and that that guy probably wouldn't b allowed to be around the car again anyways.

*shrug*

and as for fighting pits,i say sumo suit fight to the death.

the only head id want to shoot are idiots/ criminals heads.

(criminals by what are new standards would be) and you cant leave me defenseless....hmm....ill take a machete,and a hockey mask.( im also sure very few get that joke.

**Jihadin**

Can see the gladiator pit be our main source of entertainment. If two females are going to fight....do you think we can find enough KY to fill a kiddie pool?

Oatmeal, man. Google Attack of the Show Oatmeal fight and you'll understand...

See, it's a tricky spot...we need for our people to be " defensive ready", so wearing side arms at all times would be a must.
However...If for some reason one was to draw that weapon and fire on one of our own ( with out a hell of a good excuse...and no..." He made me mad" isn't a good excuse), then I'd say the shooter gets to experiance the sensation of their brains exiting the back of their head at 900 FPS.
If some one has an " issue" with someone else...either talk it out or slug it out...but inter camp gun play...

**kronk**

Intercamp gun play may be inevitable. However, INTRAcamp gunplay is to be a no-no.

Accidental discharge is not an accpetable excuse either if you opted someone out. Its only acceptable if its harms or kill you....I'm sure everyone who's quite fimiliar with firearm safety will rub off on other people not as experience. If you accidently opted yourself out will no need to worry about. If you accidently opted someone out well..

I'm for booting the guilty out of the fortress with nothing...and I mean nothing....kk...I might have a bit of compassion...so I will boot you out with just two rubber bands and a peanut shell..if a peanut shell cannot be found then I can give you 3 foot of 550 cord

edit
not wasting 3 feet of 550 cord. I'm planning on getting it back...just have to untie it from you first eventually on down the way

Again I suppose it depends on the actual " crime" ...I would be concerned about those who are booted out showing back up with a group of their own in search of some " payback" for being booted.

**CoI**

I say why waste the rubber bands? Two rocks and an empty book of matches. Let them keep the peanut shell if we have some spares.

**kronk**

I don't understand the two rubber bands and the peanut shell reference...

i do know would try not to be kicked out,but if i did......
