Apparently I did it incorrectly as I managed to survive step 4 by generating an 11.

Odd that all other results were within the 1 to 6 range.

That, or my computer has predicted my ascension to Mount Olympus, where I will subsequently slay Zeus and grant the power of the gods to Man.

Which is the true meaning of "turning it up to 11."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330551/2166342.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330551/2166342.page GMT Realistic After The Bomb game http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330551/2166632.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330551/2166632.page GMT Realistic After The Bomb game

Living in a Post-Nuclear World

Effects of Global Thermonuclear War


Nukes would kill us as sure as the break down of society that will follow a global thermonuclear war.

Besides a full scale exchange against the UK would leave nothing more than burnt toast.


I rolled a 5 so my war ended mercifully early.

LIke, what do you think would happen if a 1 megaton nuclear bomb detonated in the center of the city of London? What do you think would happen? If your answer is that the city goes bye-bye, then you're wrong. A 1 megaton, surface level iniation would result in the destuction of.....oh 5% of the city's assets, and 20% of the population, meaning that most of the city is still standing, and even mor eimportantly, most of the city is still alive.

Beside, nuclear winter has been completely disproved. So that 'global cloud' thing the game mentions killiung us all? NOt going to happen, sorry. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330551/2167258.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330551/2167258.page GMT Realistic After The Bomb game

What about loss of infrastructure and the collapse of society?

I think your view of nuclear warfare is very sterile.

And it's not 'sterile' it's realistic. Infrastructure would be severely damaged, and society would be changed forever, but neither would 'collapse'. They would just be knocked back a couple hundred years. I suggest you read the links I posted for an explanation of why I hold this point of view.

And Paris? Nuked?




Done.

I've now read both of the links above. Some of it is interesting.

However, I think the global situation has moved on from the scenario posited in the second link (set in the 1980's), so that a total nuclear exchange is unlikely to take place now. I also think that, while not directly prepared for nuclear war, much of the western world now would fare better than suggested.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330551/2167938.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330551/2167938.page GMT Realistic After The Bomb game http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330551/2167946.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330551/2167946.page GMT Realistic After The Bomb game

Fair chunks of it would still be standing, remember nukes don't exist to just kill the population. You don't aim an ICBM at Moscow...you aim an ICBM at the Moscow Rail Yard, or the Kremlin, specific targets that you want to destroy.

Regressing back two hundred years would involve a massive societal collapse. Sure, humanity could theoretically bounce back, but I doubt we would want anything to do with this brave new world.

Especially if Melissa survived.


I would rather get back to nuking France as an experiment in thermo-nuclear war and its after effects.

Have you ever been to Norfolk in the UK? Its already full of mutants and douchebags I can imagine you shouting 'Get Orf My Land!' in a broad accent though.

That's if you want to shout first or are you a shoot first kinda person? I

...How can I be a traitor to the crown? I'm not even British!! I don't even have British blood anywhere along my line, closest I get is about a quarter Irish.

But yeah, nevermind, I think I'd rather live out in the blasted wasteland that was once known as France instead of having Melissia constantly aiming a gun at me...THat really does seem kinda scary, as I have a feeling she'll have no problem putting her Commissar hat on and start killing us all.

America is part of the English Empire. We are just biding our time before returning the colonials to their proper place.

I don't see us going back even a full 100 years which is where a lot of the ground work for our modern technology was discovered.

The biggest problem we would face I believe is that we (our bodies) are not used to drinking water that is untreated so we would all of a sudden have to fight off natural parasites found in ground water, things like disentary would kill many people and even if a real hospital survived or emergency crews from a freindly state arrived they wouldn't be able to handle all of the people who are too stupid to boil water you found in a puddle in the street before drinking it. Then I think the next biggest problem would be panic, hoarding and looting. People are selfish and unless there is a system in place to keep them in check they will grab more then they need from the limited stock piles of resources and make proper distribution impossible.

We won't even get into the problems that countries like America and Canada would have in dealing with the ignorant and obese people in our populations. One confrontation where a crowd of morbidly over wieght people have to be told that an expectant mother requires more of anything then them and the mention of discrimination would turn into a riot. I'm curious as to what that scenario looks like over seas if anyone cares to comment.

EDIT: Side note did anyone see this link to the public license of this VIOLENCE RPG on this site? It looks like it's worth a read.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330551/2168294.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330551/2168294.page GMT Realistic After The Bomb game

What.

I have never seen such a thing, and I live in the South where we do not eat healthy as a matter of cultural pride.
