Imagine the following scenario and answer the following questions:

Some large-scale disaster (i.e., nuclear war, meteor strike) occurs so that you and 99 people are left alive, all on a relatively small yet somehow miraculously habitable area. You are somehow appointed in charge of these 100 people and must rebuild society. There is no remaining technology besides some pre-Industrial Revolution-style tools and some damaged structures.

Now, answer these questions:

1) Where would this society be?
2) How would you rule/gain power?
3) How would you shape and build your society?
4) Which NSers would you like/dislike to see alive there?

3) How would you shape and build your society?
4) Which NSers would you like/dislike to see alive there?
1) Most likely in a place where we'd be able to grow/hint food and seek shelter easily.
2) Let me think about this.
3) I would base it around realism and "love thy neighbor".
4) Like: You, Ifreann, LaDame, TBD, Ruffy, Zarakon, LG, WYTYG, Kat, ISA, TPE, DFD, Londim, Chandelier, Smunkee, Maraque, Curious Inquiry, LNI, etc. Dislike: Not sure.

Now, answer these questions:

4) Which NSers would you like/dislike to see alive there?

1) some tropical paradise

2) I wouldn't really care I'm not the bossy type but I guess I would rule with a apathetic foot

3) simple farming mostly can't do much when most of the world is uninhabitable though I will work of simple boats to scout for things

4) I wouldn't like any NSers there because as a rule your a lazy whiny bunch of savages

First, I'd get to work on repopulating right away.

Somewhere warm, so making new clothes becomes less of a priority, but not to the point that the heat would kill some of us off. Fertile soil would also be teh shiz.
I'd accept power reluctantly after a vote by secret ballot in my favour. Ruling would be teh suck.
I'd let it shape itself mostly. Chances are I'd be dead before there was much of a society beyond pure survival tactics.
The ones that were/are in some manner of army/etc would be useful. And teh sexeh wimminz, of course ;)

1) Where would this society be?

Wherever possible. Preferably in a fertile area with moderate climate

2) How would you rule/gain power?

I wouldn't. I would instead opt for a direct democracy, where all decision concerning the community will be decided by vote

3) How would you shape and build your society?

There wouldn't be many options. 100 people make for a very small society, so the important thing would be to have an accepted authority to decide about arguments. Other than that, unless this group will grow larger in time, specialising and producing technology wouldn't be much of an option, everybody would have to be a generalist to feed and clothe themselves.

4) Which NSers would you like/dislike to see alive there?

Anyone's welcome.

1) Disney World. :)
2) I would bend other to my will through an elaborate series of pranks and threats of more.
3) With trowels. They are really handy. :)
4) Pretty much anybody who has good aim and isn't allergic to chocolate is welcome. :)

1. Somewhere warm and with plenty of fresh water.
2. Once everyone understands I'm the boss, we're all fine.
3. Survival comes first, with industrialization coming next. Won't be much of a life without blacksmithing!
4. I don't know any NS'ers.

4)I don't want any of you whiny sons-of-bitches to ruin our experience.

1) Where would this society be?

iowa. good farm land to get going with

2) How would you rule/gain power?

i would convince everyone that i was smart enough to do it and too old to be of too much use as a farmer

3) How would you shape and build your society?

100 people? simple democracy. with so few people, without coopration we will fail

4) Which NSers would you like to see alive there?

none that i can think of, is any one out there even a gardener?

Democracy my friend

I can dig holes….

1) Disney World.

aginst whats ever left in the waste lands

aginst whats ever left in the waste lands

Radioactive Zombie Mimes. *nod*

Radioactive Zombie Mimes. *nod*

I hate mimes!!!

Radioactive Zombie Mimes. *nod*

and radioactive zombie cows. Much deadlier. Imagine all that radioactive manure! :eek:

Radioactive Zombie Mimes. *nod*

We should have known you'd survive a nuclear holocaust.

Radioactive Zombie Mimes. *nod*

I hate mimes!!!

and radioactive zombie cows. Much deadlier. Imagine all that radioactive manure! :eek:

so are you still laughing at me now :p

Thats why we stay in Hawaii! Blissful days wearing straw skirts and singing songs around a beach fire, while a zombie burns on top of it. Ahh bliss......

I hate mimes!!!

They're deadly because they're silent. If spotted however, they are easily thwarted with giant glass boxes. *nod*

We should have known you'd survive a nuclear holocaust.

A mime is a terrible thing to waste. :D

4) Which NSers would you like/dislike to see alive there?
1. Hawaii, because of the weather and natural resources
2. Me and a few other dudes get a hold of the few remaining firearms and force everyone else to get along.
3. It’d be based mostly on just survival, I imagine.
4. No regulars that I can think of. Occasionally a n00b will come along that I don’t mind too much, but they’re soon gone.

I'd immediately order a mass suicide. Breeding pool is just too small.

1. Southern Canada
2. I would use a stick. And be supreme dictator for life and beyond.
3. I would empower myself and make a democracy when I'm dying.
4. I can take bribes.

1) if possible: moderate climate, with a lot of wildlife. if not: anywhere we could live i guess.

2) i would not (see 3)

3) if possible (with enough animals and plants to eat) anarcho-primitivist. although i don't know if it would be possible for modern people to live like that. if there wasn't enough food we could hunt/gather to survive, i'd shape it to something that's close to anarcho-communism and eco-anarchism. (the first because it actually seems doable in such a small community, and the latter because it looks the most sustainable, especialy because there wouldn't be a lot of resources left due to the apocalypse.

4) i don't realy know a lot of people here, but i'd welcome everybody who'd like to participate and wouldn't be too much of a burden on our society.

3) How would you shape and build your society?
4) Which NSers would you like/dislike to see alive there?

1) Near water, Fertile Land, not far from a sizeable cave/ Mountain.
2) It would be a democracy to an extent, every decision approached by all 100 of us. Majority rule.
3) We would have no society, we would just be people trying to salvage Humanity. At least i would not be part of said society if it were to hypothetically exist.
4) Not nessicarily new, i was The United Sandwiches... but that nation fell into decay. But truthfully i hope all of you were there. I might not agree with you but i want you to live with us regardless.

2. Me and a few other dudes get a hold of the few remaining firearms and force everyone else to get along.

SO it'll turn out to be a 95 vs. 5 Dictatorship? Not a good idea. Even if they didn't overpower you, if it's just you and "dudes" you just killed off your last possibility of rebuilding the human race. Congrats.

4) Which NSers would you like/dislike to see alive there?

1) Probably located somewhere in the Rhinelands, of Germany, due too fertile enviorment, and water.

2) I would rule based on communistic ideals, until the population grows, and another little spec of land develops across from us, then we become competitive capitalists.

3) In the theroy and teachings of Jesus Christ.

4) Uhmmm probably I would not like too see Blackhelm Confederacy there.

First, I'd get to work on repopulating right away.

i agree. this task would be my primary concern and i would persue with great exuberance. :D

1) Where would this society be?

Someplace temperate.


2) How would you rule/gain power?

Terror.

3) How would you shape and build your society?

By command of the God/Emperor, me.

4) Which NSers would you like/dislike to see alive there?
The ones who would gladly leave offerings of squash and lightly seasoned grilled chicken at my altar.

If you can't take a joke, then this post is not for you.

4) I wouldn't like any NSers there because as a rule your a lazy whiny bunch of savages
I resemble that remark. :p

First, I'd get to work on repopulating right away.

Giggity giggity goo.

1) Where would this society be?.

On a fertile island, about the size of Devonshire. With only one possible location for a port and mountains around the plains and an animal population big enough to survive the odd animal being eaten. And it'd snow in the winter. Ooh, and it'd be close enough to the mainland that we could go and salvage things from the post apocalyptic wilderness. Like solar panels - I need a stereo.

2) How would you rule/gain power?.

Direct democracy.

3) How would you shape and build your society?.

I can't see there being a huge amount of choice in this matter. The society is going to evolve around the enviromental conditions and the personalities of the individuals within it, whether I like or not.

4) Which NSers would you like/dislike to see alive there?.

Anyone who answers 'direct democracy' to question 3, especially those with any relevent skills and Imperial Isa can come and guard us from nasties.

Although, thinking about it, that question basically asks 'who do I think should survive the apocalypse' and I don't think I'm the right person to be given that level of responsibility.
