This is a Post-Cataclysm RPG. Here's the story behind the game:
It's the year 2017. Many changes have taken place between now and the year 2011.
July 2011: Minor uprisings occur in Mainland China, a threat to the Communist government. September 2011: North Korea stockpiles more nuclear weapons, adding even more tensions on their relations with the rest of the world. October 2011: Turkey initiates a mass-genocide of Kurds within the country. Their EU candidacy is revoked and the UN imposes sanctions upon them. November 2011: A coup occurs in Moscow. The Prime Minister, the President, and several members of Parliament are gunned down, but the coup masterminds were incarcerated and executed, sending the country into complete disarray. February 2012: A revolution rips apart China as the Communist government is dissolved. The Xinjiang Autonomous region and Tibet are both independent while Taiwan's government assumes control of the rest of China. May 2012: North Korea launches an offensive against South Korea. They are repelled and driven back to Pyongyang, but the South Korean army is severely weakened. November 2012: A coup occurs in Turkey, and the government is reformed as a single-party fascist state. April 2013: Turkey launches an offensive against Eastern Europe. They invade and conquer Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, and Moldova. May 2013: The European Parliament unanimously decide to declare war on Turkey. June 2013: North Korea invades Japan. They invade Tokyo and sack the city. Japan unconditionally surrenders, and Japan becomes a satellite state of North Korea. July 2013: North Korea joins Turkey in their war against Europe. February 2014: The United States aid Russia in its crippled state, transforming the country into a satellite state of the United States. March 2014: South Korea and China declare war on North Korea. April 2014: North Korea invades South Korea. They unconditionally surrender, unifying the peninsula under North Korean rule. July 2014: Turkey invades Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. September 2014: Russia, Finland and Sweden declare war on Turkey. January 2015: North Korea launches a missile aimed at Portland, Oregon. In response, they shoot it down and declare war on North Korea. July 2015: Turkey continues, conquering Denmark as well. All of 2016: The countries battle a stalemate, but neither side wishes to negotiate peace. March 2017: In desperation, Europe petitioned a lift in the nuclear weapons ban. April 2017: The petition has been approved; the European Union Forces drop nuclear bombs on Istanbul and Ankara, but Turkey refuses to surrender. Instead, they send their government in exile in Kaesong, North Korea. July 2017: North Korea fires missiles in all directions. Efforts are made to shoot them down, but hardly successful at averting the danger. They effectively wipe out 5/6 of the Earth's population.
This is the time. You're a straggler in a wasteland. Here are the rules to the game:
*You're on your own. You're more than welcome to form alliances, but you can't control another person's card. *Only post your actions - DO NOT POST THE RESULT. I DECIDE THE RESULT. *You fill out your card with the form provided (which I give later on), and I will decide where you will start. You start with zero supplies and a certain amount of stragglers. You have to go scavenge, and remember this is set on a WORLD scale, and this game is set in REAL TIME. *Some areas are actually rendered unsafe, and certain natural disasters will occur at random. I will announce these warnings and disasters in posts. *Conflict is definitely a part of the game. In the event you fight another player, each post is a turn, and you cannot respond until I post the result. *You must repost the card each post.
So here's the card layout:
Name: <insert name> Gender: Age: (Age minimum 13) Inventory: <Leave this blank> Number of Stragglers: 20 <THIS IS A STATIC NUMBER. EVERYONE STARTS OFF WITH 20> Morale: 100% Energy: 100% Health: 100% Field of Expertise:
You're attacked by a bandit. You get bruised up, but you pull out your machete and rip out his guts. You find a dead dog and you decide to haul it back to camp.
Name:Jake Lawson Gender:Male Age:27 Inventory: Machete, 3 blankets, dead dog Number of Stragglers: 20 Morale: 100% Energy: 100% Health: 100% Field of Expertise:CIA Agent

Darn idiots xD, well I keep security high in the base and train the stragglers so they know a little combat.
@flash - Richmond, VA is an inland town. No beaches.
@zorsca - A straggler shoots into the air, and 2 minutes later you're invaded by a pack of feral dogs! You fight back, but they manage to steal a can of food and deal substantial injuries to 2 stragglers. You chastise the straggler who fired the shot.
Name: Vlad Dietrich Gender: Male Age: 22 Inventory: 2 cans of food, shotgun, 3 rifles Number of Stragglers: 16 Morale: 83% Energy: 40% Health: 97% Field of Expertise: Spec Ops

Aren't there any fences? o.o and this time treat the wounded and lock the base >:O
@zorsca, there are no fences. Misfortune finds you again as a ceiling starts to crumble and a chunk lands on a straggler's head. Fortunately, only his sense of humor is damaged.
