NO MAN's LAND: A Survival RP (OOC/ENDED)

[Unified Free Lands]

Grestin you still didn't answer about Mira joining the Vultures

I'll tell you what I told Laurvier, if you can pull it off convincingly, then yes.

If you have some Vultures drop by her house outside of Grand Junction she can join. She is a bit lonely which is why she took in that runaway instead of killing him.

Is it long enof

[Maverica]

School is starting soon for me as well, and Football (American) practice has begun, also limiting my time.

Same here, I've actually got to go now because of that. I'll still be on most nights though which is usually when I'm active anyways.

Remember....... Marching band is what keeps the audience at the game.

You should spoiler that image and give a link to the RP example.

I can't say I've ever knocked someone's teeth out in marching band when I was in it.

But let's not talk about busted lips.

Something that hasn't been pointed out yet is that your character has a 'four wheeler'.
Gas is very rare 27 years after the Outbreak, and because gas only takes a year to decay in best conditions, it's unlikely that you'll be able to use the vehicle very often.
I'd recommend removing it. However, another RPer here used his truck in an introduction post and crashed it, removing from the RP. If you want to do that, you probably could.

I didn't crash it! It had an electrical fire! I'm a great driver!

And because of that fire it crashed

Lauren's car crashed when a reaver decided that she and her friend looked like a nice, balanced breakfast. Hugh's car was just left on the road to burn out. Either way, New Orleans isn't giving either of them cars again.

I'll just crash it into something or someone

And who are the walking men

[Partially Blind People]

And who are the walking men

Crazy edgy sword guys who will probably kill everyone by the end of the story.

Sounds fun

The crashed car from earlier had a decent backstory and it was hell to get it running or even fuel it. And the electric car burnt up. Not saying you can't have an ATV but keeping it running and fueled is gonna be difficult. I'd also ask if there was anything you could add to the bio. Just feels a bit skimpy. Also keep in mind that people with no immunities are very rare, and already we have 4 people in the RP (though 3 are older).

ACCEPTED.

If you have some Vultures drop by her house outside of Grand Junction she can join. She is a bit lonely which is why she took in that runaway instead of killing him.

The Aspen group is likely to arrive towards Junction way before the Vultures do. About a 2-4 day walk from Glenwood (rough estimate) while Denver is a several day walk in the other direction. It's also unlikely that some random Vultures would be hanging around so close to a major settlement, especially when Emperor Bill is rallying his men (which I assume his bandits are in Denver right now).

Could he make biofuel from his crops

[Beiarusia]

Could he make biofuel from his crops

I think we had this discussion before actually. Bio fuel may seem like an easy solution but it takes a lot of corn to make the fuel, and in these times food would likely have a higher priority than fuel, given that farming is becoming harder as time goes on.

Ok well maybe he'll have a small amount of stabilized fuel for emergencies

And I added some more is it enof I could try and add more

I play as one of them, so be careful

Another thing, aside from some grammar issues the mask would hardly be useful 27 years after the Outbreak. Filters don't last long while being used, and scavenging sealed, undamaged filters would probably not be a viable solution as they would have been a commodity during the early days, especially those rated for biological agents. His best bet against infection would be to avoid close contact with people, not relying on an outdated gas mask.

He does but it's more of a habit and a slight comfort than actual use

Sorry, was out and about. Very well. ACCEPTED. Don't be too overpowered, follow lore, etc. etc.

Also no ATV I know of can run off of Ethanol.

Future reference, most gas combustion engines can't run off of alternate fuel. Diesel loves to thought. Hell I've heard of Diesel engines running off of burning leaves.

Edit: It takes a lot of work, and almost exclusively requires power tools, to convert from running on gasoline to alcohol.

At the risk of opening that can of worms again, apparently the Abrahms can run off of just about any sort of liquid you can burn. However, it will be a lot less efficient and thus require even more fuel that you don't have and can't make and will cause increased wear on an engine you can't fix so no; no-one is getting to run their tanks on chip fat!

No-one should have any running tanks whatsoever. Unless you want that one tank to be your entire military, as that's pretty much the only way to support it
