Recap.

Questions that need answering:

How long will we be in the bunker? How cramped is it? Are we ultimately expected to defend ourselves as a pocket of regrown humanity? Because fighting ability is irrelevant if we’re in the bunker for the rest of our lives, but fighting ability becomes deeply relevant if we’re expected to return to the surface after five to ten years to try and scratch together a meager existence post nuke.

To be honest, this wasn’t really meant to extend too far into the future; I’ll give that there was a lot of personal speculation that one would have. I might just make another scenario with even more detailed people, with a pre-set plan (i.e. leave the bunker, not the ONLY humans alive, but severely scattered), etc , etc.

This was mostly an exercise to show what the different people of FWZ think about who they would take and why they would take them. The ambiguity of the scenario leads the reader to judge for themselves how they see the world unfolding, and planning ahead as such. It shows what people are willing to prepare for first, and what traits they have on the tip of their minds as good reasons to keep certain people in the bunker.

For example, on a related note, I thought it was interesting that you were the first person to point out the Mr. Franklin would now be an EX-smoker, so long as he was locked in the bunker for a few weeks and didn’t split off from the group to find new cigs. Most people didn’t say that; maybe they bumumed there were cigs in the bunker. Perhaps it was the cancer risk that turned people off to him. I know several people didn’t pick him because of his possible genetic faults. All of these bumumptions are what make up the game. Feel free to decide just what happens inside the bubble of your own scenario, or judge others on how effective their team is in your own mind.

Like I’ve said, I’d like to make another one with more people and a more detailed plotline if this thread turns out well (which it looks like it has so far).

Thanks for the feedback!
