Alive! but do you want to be?



You live in the middle of no where or are lucky. The planet isnt looking good though. Get ready for some great skiing in the incoming nuclear winter!

You're alive! ... but not for long.The heat from the blast has caused head to toe second degree burns.You'll probably die within the coming weeks from radiation sickness.

It depends on the bomb. If its something reasonable I am ok.. if its the freaking Tsar bomb, I'm screwed.

The heat from the blast has caused head to toe third degree burns. It would have been better to have been vaporized. You'll probably die within the day.


That was with the castle bravo bomb...



Its funny this thread came up, I heard some interesting stuff. I live in the Australian equivalent of maybe... Portland? Its basically the only city on the west coast, and is bland to the extreme. In the northwest corner of the state, there is heavy natural resources mining, so the town is usually flushed with cash. Anyhoo, in the event of a nuclear war, Perth would have received three out of the five nukes heading to Australia. One to the port in Fremantle, which is a US naval port in war time. One to the city to kill all of the naval brass, and one to the oil industries in the south! I would get heavily dominated.







Hell, in WWII, the government decided that if we were invaded by the Japanese, they would basically defend all that is east of the black line and ignore the rest of the country. There better not be a war any time soon, eh?

wheel_of_steel gets another + for another LOL and the truthiest map of the day. You win this thread, even if you live in upside-downland. Here's a big thumbs up to you!



oh, and: this thread fails. The way to kill EVERYBODY in the country is with three high-altitude airbursts that destroy every electronic thing in the whole country immediately with EMP. TIDO lasts a couple of weeks, then a few months later everybody that will die is dead, but the structures are still standing. Wait a few more months for the dead-american stench to fade away. Then you ship in a few million peasants and set up a classless agrarian society the way you always wanted to . . . with, of course, a few more-equal people to make sure the workers stay in their places . . . .
