The Doomsday Game
« on: October 16, 2007, 11:16:49 pm »
I got this great idea off the 'random questions' topic. We were discussing what we'd do in the event of all power mysteriously disappearing in the world, and it evolved into a very interesting discussion. Basically given a described apocalyptic scenario, what would you do to ensure your own survival? Simply put I will outline a cataclysm and you will post how you would adapt to the scenario, with the goal of prolonging your death. After that I figure we'll judge answers, and whoever is deemed to have the most logical plan gets to outline the next situation. Fun will be had by all and if nothing else, survival skills will be learned and/or gauged.

I'll start, of course.

Scenario 1-Someone Left the Faucet Running...
One day with no explanation whatsoever, an inch of water rains down on all areas of the Earth, and it doesn't evaporate. It doesn't get absorbed. There's now at least an inch of water covering all of the Earth. Everyone is highly intrigued, this has never happened before and perhaps a fundamental flaw in our understanding of the universe has been revealed. Day 2, the same happens, the same general reaction. Day 3, Day 4. Now everyone is wondering what the deal is here. Mild panic is sprouting but, 4 inches, what's the biggie? Day 10, day 15, same deal. Everyone's bought out the stores of their provisions, and guess what? You didn't have the foresight to do that. Suddenly the full scale of this has been realized. This will continue indefinitely. What do you do to maximize survival?


I HOPE YOU DO

I build an ark and load a male and female animal of every race onto it.

Or I build a boat, try to get seeds and some dry soil and begin to plant vegetables.

I would attempt to buy seaweed from a local aquarium and farm it. If I used a small enough boat, it would eventually become subsistent within a month or two, and would eventually start a minor ecosystem, as it would attract animals.


My idea (inspired by California wildfires) would be a fire rampaging across the entire United States. The area you live in has been relatively spared, but the smoke will soon cut you off. What do you do?

I'd be sitting tight in Australia, watching the fires smite down the unworthy. :)

I'd use the water from the first question to put out the fire, which should take care of the smoke.

1. I would go and yell at Eggmen asking him what he was doing this time.
2. I would LOL at the Americans getting burnt whilst I watch the fireworks in Australia.
