Good catch @Didymous ... I meant to include a 'Hand-to-Hand Combat & Louisville Slugger Survival Instructors' team... It would appear that @Woodsrun and I both have some experience with Martial Arts... This is an area where we would have to develop mobile training teams to both train the trainer and to train the masses in the arts of self defense...
I have some small skill in various martial arts, and know a little about the use of blades. Unless there's a zombie apocalypse, I don't foresee using them, though. :cool:

I'm not sure what this duty entails, so please elaborate. :cool:
LOL, as you are familiar with TWD - you are basically responsible for overseeing all logistics operations. The idea being that different teams will have demands for beans, bullets and band-aides - and it is your and @LittleMermaid 's role to help ensure that everyone receives all their requisite supplies at the time and place of their needs... :)
You guys are the managerial level - we'll need to recruit some of the Deputies for deliveries... haha
Of course, I anticipate that if you feel better suited in a different role - I'm sure that we might be able to align volunteers for varying positions that everyone is better suited for. haha

Hmm.. well honestly for me it would be about survival but I would be far more concerned about my team mates than myself, I know some survival techniques like boiling water to purify it and believe it or works the same with pee if you can't find a source of water then boiling your pee basically turns it back into water.
I am a swordsman at heart so that would be my main weapon of choice along with a gin on the side for those rebels who just relish killing others.

My choice of companions would be anyone really but I do think Didy and koji would be my first two picks Didy looks pretty touch in his avatar lol and koji and I are similar in a lot of ways and I feel like we would make a good combo Blur lady bug without a doubt she is fierce and doesn't put up with bull though I feel like she would assert herself the leader XD

I am small and not exactly built but I am a thinker and I plan things and there is also no limits I won't go for my freinds even if I have to be eaten

The following was spawned from an observation in a very busy McDonald's on a very hectic Friday... yesterday in fact. The observation was, "So many people have become dependent on restaurants that if they all suddenly went out of business, two thirds of the city would starve to death!"

SCENARIO: All the local restaurants have said "Forget all these new regulations! Covid or no covid, we can't stay in business like this!" and have closed their doors. Since so many people have been going to restaurants for so long, very few of them know how to cook any more. Despite stores full of food, many are in danger of starving to death.

GOAL: Start cooking and selling food (for a very reasonable price) in very large quantities before these poor, dependent, helpless people starve. Individual taste is irrelevant and we will not have a very diverse menu - we will sell what we cook and they will eat it or do without. We will try to include options that avoid the most common allergies though. The main objective is to cook a whole lot of a few different meals, and try to cover all dietary needs - not WANTS, but needs.

TEAM: We'll need some planners for this one.

- Solemateleft will be the leader here. He can coordinate everything from procuring supplies to laying out delivery routes. Not personally of course, that would be too much... but he will have a team of people handling all the details, and they can report to him.
- cinder and seousearch can be in procurement. They seem to both be good at finding things. They can keep the ingredients coming.
- Lynx will be in the kitchen, taking the ingredients that come, trying to make something appetizing with different combinations, and cooking large pots and wide roasting pans full of whatever he comes up with.
- tourist, get in here and help cook!
- love_comes_softly will be the delivery coordinator. She probably already knows two thirds of them anyway.
- Random other people will report to either Lynx for kitchen duty or love_comes_softly for deliveries. Probably deliveries will need more people than the kitchen. When you cook on a large scale one person can cook a lot of food.

What fun thread!! =) Great job @seoulsearch!

2. You're Going on Vacation and Leaving Your ( Choose from: Your Beloved Pet Iguana, whom you've raised from an egg; A Rare Exotic Plant that's taken 5 years to grow; Something Top Secret, that must never be opened; or, fill in the blank) Behind. Why, my beloved reptilian pal, George, of course!

* Who would you trust to watch it for you, and why? Love Comes Softly, Danja, Laughingheart, Solemateleft, or Blain -- because they all see to like furbabies -- so wouldn't they love my scale baby just as much?:cry: (I'm sorry if I missed any other pet owners -- this your chance to stand up in the forum and say, "Hey, what about ME?"
:)
This made me laugh so much!! I definetly love pups, but an Iguana?? For you and only you would I attempt to take care of your baby, as long as I didn't have to touch it. :ROFL:


Solemateleft- Incredible job! This was a lot of fun to read, but this duo and their task cracks me up. I can totally picture this and I'd love to be a fly on the wall watching them with this task!


- love_comes_softly will be the delivery coordinator. She probably already knows two thirds of them anyway.
- Random other people will report to either Lynx for kitchen duty or love_comes_softly for deliveries. Probably deliveries will need more people than the kitchen. When you cook on a large scale one person can cook a lot of food.
Lynx, this actually sounds like something I'd really enjoy! =) :D

You know, on second thought I'm going to be the biggest supporter of @danja , @laughingheart , @Solemateleft and @Blain. I will make sure they follow your instructions and have the materials needed to take care of your sweet George. I'm thinking they are way more responsible than I am to actually have him in my care. ;)

Ok so how is this, the zombie apocalypse has been going on for decades all because some person wanted to make a youtube video about how fake the mad cow desease is and was being payed a butt load of money to do the dare. You all know those channels people doing ridiculously dumb things for money and such.
The stores are all but wiped clean food and water and resources are an issue and the place is a waste land. The zombies are not all your run of the mill walkers some have evolved and have learned to use some of their human Intellect they are now able to open doors and are becoming clever in their tactics of ensaring meals but every hoard has a ring leader called hulks they are massive and violent they can easily toss over a truck and can rip a person if half then gives the remains to the feeding frenzy.

However unlike main zombies they have one easy weakness they have a vital weak point on their chest that is easy to spot as their heart is always visible. A group of scientists have made ground breaking progress in making water filters and turning simple herbs into medicine and rumor has it there is a rare herb that grows only at night in a specific part of the region and it suposively has a 97% chance to be able to be made into a cure and can be released and spread like the virus did.
So you and a group of people have been recruited to fetch this herb but it is a very long ways away and A GOOD 6 DAYS AWAY ON FOOT BUT IF YOU CAN SECURE THIS HERB THEN YOU WILL SAVE THE WORLD.

Now I am not a leader so I would need someone with good leadership skills, Lynx won't do because he would just become a dictator there can only be one, so I would have Diddy be the leader and if he chose a better one to lead I would trust his judgement. Koji has extensive knowledge of zombies and has read the survival tactics so he would be in the one who helps teach everyone the know how and helps keep us safe with his knowledge.

Susanna sadly wouldn't be on the team lets face it when push comes to shove she gone everyone for themselves lol. I would be part of the planning and gathering squad along with tourist for has cool thinking and mel because she clearly would kill zombie first ask for cure later she a boss. I would be useful with my small body for getting itno smaller places and planning is something I am good at I like to think about solutions and the bigger picture. Lynx aside from being my pet your on cooking duty we would have to find a way to gather supplies on the way so if we happen to come across any non mutated animals we need the meat cooked. And Sussana I was kidding your also on cooking lol.

Our weakons are basic but you can choose whatever suites you best I am going with duel wealding swords and a gun on my side for long range. Sorry if this is off it is my first time doing this lol

SCENARIO: I'm running for political office in a small town.

GOAL: Get elected no matter what!

TEAM:
- I'd have to get GOOWZ to finance it, as I don't have the money to run a political campaign even in a small town race. The honesty part might get in the way of politics though... He would also be good with strategy.
- laughingheart would be the volunteer who runs all over town driving signs in people's front yards. She would also provide legal counsel to figure out what we can get away with without actually technically breaking any laws.
- love_comes_softly would be the faceman... er... facewoman... well, faceperson, the one who talks to the reporters and writes the speeches. If she can get a class of kids to learn something, she can get a message through anybody's head.
- OneofHis did not post in the DIY thread, but I would have to get him on this election campaign because he is so good at saying something and retracting it. We're always fussing at him for deleting posts. He could make the most outrageous claims and then deny he ever said it with such a convincing demeanor that people would be left wondering if they had misheard him before.
(Sorry man, had to pick at you. Love ya bro.) :cool:
Dunno about financing that, but if you need one of these posted on a billboard i got you lol.

Here are combinations for 4 different situations. If you don't like these basic templates, feel free to use your own ideas! The sky's the limit -- I just wrote these ideas for people who might be too shy to think of something on their own.

Have fun and use your imagination! And if you'll give me a few more minutes, I'll write my own answers as an example in another post. :)

1. "Natural Disaster" (Choose from: Zombie apocalypse; Hurricane; Earthquake; or fill in the blank.)

* Personal Goal (Choose from: Survival; Going in style; Avoidance) and Why?

* Best Pick(s) for Your Team and Why?


2. You're Going on Vacation and Leaving Your ( Choose from: Your Beloved Pet Iguana, whom you've raised from an egg; A Rare Exotic Plant that's taken 5 years to grow; Something Top Secret, that must never be opened; or, fill in the blank) Behind.

* Who would you trust to watch it for you, and why?


3. You're Going On (Choose: A lovely summer picnic; A movie you've wanted to see forever; A Worlds of WhompCraft gaming championship; or fill in the blank):

* Who would you choose to go with you, and why?


4. Dang Nab It, You're Having Problems (Choose: Opening a pickle jar; Tying a necktie; Finding your dentures; or fill in the blank):

* Who Ya Gonna Call, and Why?
I'm thinking we also need a social morale team. It is going to get stressful so we need a team of merry makers and encouragers. I nominate @BlessedByGod, @Mel85 @Godsgirl83 and @Poinsetta

Now I am not a leader so I would need someone with good leadership skills, Lynx won't do because he would just become a dictator there can only be one, so I would have Diddy be the leader and if he chose a better one to lead I would trust his judgement.
No way dude. Being a dictator is too stressful. I'd be more likely to curl up in a tree, take a nap and forget what I was supposed to do until it was too late. Have you ever seen a feline dictator? Never happens.
