Would you game through a nuclear war?

[Emirikol]

I wouldn't take time away from my two children..maybe my wife..but not my kids.

Friends and co-gamers-but-not-quite-friends just aren't that important.

Hmm...now that I sense a little less craziness, I'll toss in my opinion.

If it were to happen right here and now with the nukes flying across the seas but not over here...I'd be pretty damned sure that the "good ole' U S of A" would be next, as we stick our rather large shnoz in everyone else's business. That known, I'd be really damned pissed. I'm single, live with my parents, and my life consists of work and school, with the occasional gaming session thrown in. Heck, I'd just go on living normally, for lack of anything better to do. :\

Buuuuttt... if it were a few years down the road, with me having my nice high-paying job, loving wife, nice quiet house, I'd spend the next month with my wife, enjoying ourselves while living off our savings account, since it looks like we gonna die. So we gonna die together. Screw the game, wife comes first! And if everything turns out OK and the world returns to semi-normal, I'll return to my job as a Psychiatrist knowing that with all the problems in the world, I'll have no shortage of work.

Exactly. But my kids game, so I could game with them. Maybe my wife would finally try gaming, just this once....

Would you still meet up on Saturday?

We game on Friday nights, so we'd probably game while the missles were flying

At any rate, not my continent, not my problem.

Incorrect. Even if nobody actually drops a bomb on the North American Continent, the effects of major nuclear exchange would be global, both in terms of effects on weather/climate, and upon societies.

Folks here are short sighted. No, I would not meet up for gaming so soon. If you don't die immediately, you spend some time making sure you also won't die in the forseeable future. I'll skip one gaming session to make sure I have a long life of future gaming sessions, thanks.

Think like the ant, not like the grasshopper.

We got plenty of nukes to go around...

Hopefully that was made in jest.

At any rate, not my continent, not my problem.

 

[Angcuru]

Jeez, Umbran, didn't you realize that we had already coated our homes in fifty layers of anti-rad paint? And don't forget the stockpiled food in the basement!

 

[Bloodstone Press]

Yeah, we would still game.

 

[Dirigible]

One again, a dicey looking thread fails to dissolve into politics/sex/cussing/naughtiness.

ENworld, I take my hat off to you.

Think like the ant, not like the grasshopper.

OK by you if I think like a human, instead?

I'm a bit ashamed to say it, but I probably would be able to ignore anything that didn't affect me personally.

 

[Trickstergod]

That's how they get ya...

Gah! Dr. Katz reference! One that I often use at that...

I'm huggin' ya, but I'm hittin' ya!

Either that, or that's not the reference you made, and you're just thinkin' I'm crazy right now.

Hehe.
