I agree that the resource score isn't going to be stellar, no matter what. But, there are population centres even in Lappland, and all of those have pharmacies. Also, schools and other such have smaller medicine cabinets, as well as most of the population. Also, given that the people who'd go raid the same stores as me are about four times my age (somewhere between ninety and death. Literally) I wouldn't have any problems getting to the raidable foods first. And no, I wouldn't be taking any of them with me. The people who'd come with me know these plans and either get to the boat on time or get left behind. Yes, I'm that big of an ass-hat . Now, natural resources. I agree, the minerals and vitamins will be the most difficult to come by in the north, but by no means impossible. Remeber, we are the people that survived famine by literaly eating tree bark! There are plenty of edible mushrooms and berries (some might not taste real good, but you're not allowed to complain during the zombie apocalypse!) and you can even eat the light green parts that pines grow every year if you boil them. It's actually one of the skills taught to the elite Finnish guerillas in the army. True, there are poisonous berries and mushrooms, but we're taught what those are as early as grade school, so we can identify them and not eat them when we're kids . Then the population. I'm still disagreeing with this most viamantly. Finns aren't vikings, we don't all sail. I'll bet you anything that the majority of the populace either stay where they are or go to their own summer resorts. And they'll go by car, because everyone has one. What about the two-three million people who aren't anywhere near the coast? What about over half of the people mear the coast who don't have boats and couldn't use them even if they could? If I were travelling through all of Finland on foot or in a car, I'd accept the 5 million people, but the whole point of taking the boat is that we'd NOT meet other people. Even if everyone with a boat were to set off, do you know how much water there is in the Finnish Gulf alone? They wouldn't be likely to try and attack us pirate-like with grappling hooks! Even if we would have to land from time to time, we'd still come into contact with less than 1% of the people in the coastal areas (BTW, the more populous coastal area is in the other direction from where we'd be travelling). And when I said "amazing things with alcohol", I meant more in the likeness of sterilization, molotovs, painkiller when those inevitably either run out or expire, fuel etc. Sure, it's a stress reliever and an aphrodisiac, but that's another story 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0

Regardless of Helsinki, you are still abandoning civilization (which doesn't help your resources score), and you're still traveling along 9/10 of the coastline to get to your Stronghold (population score). You had so many scenarios, I guess we mixed and mashed Helsinki into it, but even abandoning that you still would get the same scores you did. Numbers don't lie. 5 million people is 5 million people. Your plan, despite using the sea to travel, involves a majority of the country. You will be passing nearly 9/10ths of the coast line to get to your Stronghold up north. Being a strong seafaring people, others will have the same idea as you do as well and will take to the sea to travel North where nothing is. You can do amazing things with alcohol....like get drunk and slam your boat into a shallows, or accidentally set your log cabin on fire. Alcohol is certainly a stress reliever and will definitely make those late nights more interesting but it's also not a necessity of life. I know we had a chuckle about the brewery with CCZ's map, but the key to her getting points for that brewery was the fresh water spring under it. Not the beer contained within it. If I throw a molotov cocktail at your log cabin, will it burn? Betcha my concrete building doesn't... Boxxy has nothing to do with your score....but your love of Boxxy does make this a little more satisfying 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
Good job as always, except I disagree on a few points: 1) Unless absolutely necessary, I would never, EVER go to Helsinki if I was leaving on the boat. The whole idea of leaving on the boat would be to get away from people before the solid excrement hits the rotating oscillary. 2) Espoo and Helsinki ARE the most populous areas of Finland. HOWEVER, the people within any likely reach of me and my escape route are significantly fewer that the numbers might indicate. Also, I would hardly be competing against the entire population of Finland while on a boat (a few nasty seacritters aye, but not the entire population of a pretty big country with a disproportionally small population :P) 3) Nik didn't take into account all the liquor stores I'd be raiding on the way. You can do amazing stuff with alcohol 4) Logs on a cabin like that are as tough as a solid concrete wall. No way any creature, zombie or human coming through without some pretty heavy equipment 5) I bet nik gave me bad scores because I like Boxxy 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
I'll drop by CCZs hideout. Beer is a necessity during the zombie apocalypse, wouldn't want to go to Hell AND be sober! 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0

T'will be the last post for awhile from either of us for a while for today is our last day of freedom. It happens when our high school is more appropriately labeled as a college prep school.

I don't know what the brewery looks like, but I think if it's possible to shore up defenses there, I'd do that. That spring is something that would need to be defended in the Zed Head era. Or at least you'd want to be closer to your supply of fresh water and pick a building near it. Like....next door to it. And Hardkor, that is why we are here!

I'll take a B-, that seems reasonable odds to me. I chose the building to be able to share this at work, but there are a couple near I could try instead. It was good to get this feedback, I know what I need to work on to survive the ZA. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
