[QUOTE="Remus Lupin, post: 5841979, member: 12760"] I just wish the ZA were better populated by engineers and scientists, rather than school teachers, stay at home moms and testosterone fueled cops. Honestly, give me one engineer in the fall of civilization -- somebody who can jury-rig devices to help us survive, improve the fencing, help us develop some solar electricity or a generator of some sort, then, rather than leave the farm and roam, we hunker down, build up defenses, keep the zombies out, breed us some live stock, and wait for civilization to rebuild itself. Keep Rick and Shane around as security, sure but why the hell are they in charge anyway? In fact, here's my "wish" list for a survival party in the ZA (assume a party of 10-15 or so adults): 1. 2-3 people with engineering backgrounds, at least one with some civil engineering experience. 2. 1-2 people with military/law enforcement/security backgrounds. 3. 1-2 people with real backgrounds in farming/agriculture/livestock management. 4. 2-3 people with some form of medical training, even if it's just at the level of first aid, but at least one real doctor and/or nurse. 5. 2-3 Scouts/Foragers. The rest of the group can be populated by a wide array of people from other backgrounds, but each of them would be actively trained in at least one of the above skill sets. So on day one, I'm useless in a zombie apocalypse, since I'm a college professor who specializes in the humanities, In the ZA, that becomes my hobby. If I'm lucky, I'll also scrounge a guitar somewhere. Also a hobby. But on day two, I'm being actively trained to build turbines, treat wounds, forage for supplies, fire a gun, or birth cattle. Then we hunker down on the farm, build a big wall, and wait. [/QUOTE]
