The Adults are attracted to noise right?.. Because the boys at Westminster Palace may have a problem.

This could be used as an introduction point for the hordes.

How much maintenance does Big Ben require? Like, up until now I was operating under the assumption that it was broken down

Too much for teenagers to keep it functional.

Too much for teenagers to keep it functional.

I've been doing some research into this and some other things. Apparently the clock needs to be wound three times a week, so Big Ben would go silent after only a week. As for utilities (I don't know if any utilities are being used in the RP), electricity would be gone after only a few hours for coal/nuclear, but wind/sun could last upwards to a year depending on how the parts hold up. Running water would be gone within the week once electricity fails, and natural gas failsafes would trigger as well cutting off major gas lines.

Would they even want to keep it functional? Seems like something you'd want to smash to death until it shut up so it stopped making noise.

Unless they want to use it for other sort of means later in the future.

Honestly it wouldn't be that difficult if you knew how to wind a clock. It's time may get a bit off but so long as nothing breaks it could likely last for a long time. Plus the bells work with mechanical gears connected to the clock to chime, so even without electricity it could work.

But the biggest question is if you want something so noisy alerting zombies every hour.

Though having time would be nice.

Hey, I'm just the technical guy. Why you want to do something is for you all to decide.

[Terintania]

Just to be sure, who is Marcus talking to?

Of course, what wants to be done with Big Ben is up to the group in charge, which I currently have nothing to do with.

Sylvaniaa's character.

Syllvania's character.

Alright

It would make a good trap should the group ever lose the tower. When defeat is on the horizon, just wind the clock up and get out of doge, leaving whoever took the place to deal with the adults that come stumbling over for a snack. By that logic one could turn a wind up alarm clock into a dangerous weapon.

Hmm, yeah, that is definitely a good use for it.

I always like figuring out little details like this.

Or if shit's already hit the fan, it could have a 'beacons are lit' sort of usage.

I need to find some alarm clocks now. Most kids are too busy looting and having a jolly good time to think logically about the situation they're faced with. Logically speaking should the few smart ones survive the chaos of the first few months a lot of the trouble making groups may well kill themselves off, run out of supplies, or realize that changes need to be made if they want to make it longer than half-a-year.

Or if shit's already hit the fan, it could have a 'beacons are lit' sort of usage.

A warning system, but given how hostile the gangs are to each other that may not be as useful until some peace has settled over London. Alternatively it could be used in a sacrificial way if a horde shows up. Bring them all to one location so others have a chance to escape.

I don't see any of the groups on the north of the Thames being too overtly hostile to one another, they're all also very close (geographically speaking).

Maybe. I haven't been keeping tabs on every little thing so far (probably should) but by the looks of things a lot of people are just running around doing whatever they want at the expense of others.

I'll have a post up just after Atito post's.

Great going, Sylvaniaa. Thanks to your inability to create anything other than one liner posts, I have to restructure Beowulf Connor's entire character arc.

Sylvaniaa, I'm going to have to ask you to put a bit more work into your RPs. Grammar, what your character is actually doing, 'cause right now your not up to par. I get that this is your first (or one of your first) but this requires some effort to be put in for you to have a decent post.

Look at someone else's post, then look at yours. You have to see quite the difference in quality between them. I like to think I am very lenient, but I have to ask you to do better.

I am still going to have to alter Beowulf Connor's character development to compensate for Anowa leaving the RP. RIP James Avery. He was the only faction leader my character would have respected enough to follow.

I'm pretty sure Anowa was just memeing.
