Fortunately with the help of a ragged priest named Clements, you've managed to escape them before they besieged your home. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dIE9dyN.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] You're having a difficult time remembering even your name, the last few days have taken quite a toll on you. What is your name? Credit to CodeMonkey3 for the [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1482658"]original thread[/URL] and Svinnik for bringing up the Organ Trail idea.

[QUOTE=J!NX;48609561]my name is Buttles McMilkDuds [editline]3rd September 2015[/editline] that or "Hitler"[/QUOTE] Clements thinks your name is too long. You tell him he can just shorten it to "Buttles". [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/c1r2OoS.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] There has to be at least a few people you can rely on here. Who are they?
Saddam!
[QUOTE=emmkai;48609652]Saddam![/QUOTE] Curly!
Pinochet!
John Cena, naturally.
My name's Itchy, the dwarf

You're pretty sure that's what they were called. Yeah. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xlhyHp7.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] The sweaty priest tells you that they're probably in DC, a few dozen miles to the north, if they aren't already dead. And by some miracle, he found a working car to travel in...it's a shitty car, but it's a car nonetheless. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/elRhP7W.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] While driving, within the span of a few hours the priest brilliantly manages to break his arm, contract dysentery, and get scratched by a guy who looks like a meth addict. Despite all that, you've made it to DC. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VrFJX5P.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] You have little more than a moment to relax before you hear a radio blare out: [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/glL78Lc.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Lovely, something extra just to make things a little more stressful. You consider quickly finding fuel and just fleeing before the nuke strikes, but Clements has another idea. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/PqJvXy4.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] You decide to risk heading west away from all of this, like your great grandfather did many decades ago. Your best guess suggests you have a little more than 12 hours before the nuke strikes. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YNWlAn4.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] What will you look for, and for how long? (You can read Clement's suggestions on which supplies to get [URL="http://theorgantrail.gamepedia.com/Supplies"]here[/URL]. I'll try to make future posts much less image heavy, sorry about the wall of text :v:)
2/1/4/1/1/1/1/1 We shall rule this mad world through barter and trade, just like a mobile jew
Find money most
Well, you are 1/64th Jew. With the blessing of Jehovah, you manage to find $200 and the following: [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/27Ekdpt.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] You go back to join up with Clements and are greeted with the lovely sight that your friends aren't dead after all. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/yupx5AI.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Unfortunately, Clements just about is. You knew that meth addict from earlier was bad business. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/yJvBvhr.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jKfLRhy.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] You quickly put down Clements, and group up again with your friends to travel the 230 miles to Pittsburgh. Seems easy enough so far. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/GaTnqhA.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [editline]3rd September 2015[/editline] During the trip, you manage to: Get lost for an hour Lose 44 ammo in a car fire Argue with John Cena for an hour over directions Find roadkill that's seemingly safe to eat, and Have 18 food stolen from your car. So far, that puts your group here: [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/TRUNUqb.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/sBQdXTB.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] And look! You've made it to Pittsburgh. That didn't go the best, but it definitely could have been worse. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/bPmkMuU.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] As you travel through the city, you run into a survivor camp. There's a few shops, some jobs, some buildings nearby you can scavenge, and a place for you to rest/repair your car. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/l5VA10Y.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] What will you do now? (Quick overview of actions: Resting heals everyone's health except yours You also have medkits, which can quickly heal a group member, keep an infected member alive, or heal you You can also put down heavily injured/infected party members, and Talk to strangers for advice/ramblings You can buy or sell goods at the shops You can buy repairs and upgrades at the auto shop, or Repair your car yourself if you have enough scrap. You can also check your route so far Additionally, you can barter with passerbys as an alternative to shops, or Scavenge for supplies in the areas around the camp or along your travels You can take combat training in small towns, to make yourself more versatile in combat Jobs can be completed to earn a little extra cash or goods You can also set your pacing and rationing, more strict rations save food but tax your group's health, faster speeds wear down the car more and vice versa)
i think its only right that we put down john cena
put down everyone other than john cena and then set rationing to ensure that john cena keeps his gains with daily feasting
Try doing a job, afterwards check the market and see what we can get.
The voices in your head are confusing you again. You decide the only proper compromise is to put down everybody. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YuaqDJM.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] After taking care of that, you attempt the two jobs posted. You manage to both recover a dropped crate and take out some bandits, earning you $16 and two cans of fuel. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DZ6q5xl.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] With your hard earned cash, you travel over to the main market to see what's in stock: [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Z1C2GfW.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] You currently have the following supplies: [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1f4GeBv.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] What now?
Buy food and scrap and get the hell out of dodge
You buy 8 scrap and 70 food. Enough to repair the car once and keep you alive until at least the next landmark. You then hurry down to your car and leave the settlement before anyone can find the bodies. You reach the edge of the city, where you are greeted with this: [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/LxHbvHg.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Su4Xna7.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
Break out your guns, those meat puppets are no match for pure American guns.
Hit the gas (sneak)
You break out the old Winchester and clear a path. Turns out you're good at drive-bys, you manage to clear a path: [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/g0kF2dS.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/uvF7wum.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] During the drive: A can of gas starts leaking, losing half the can, and You manage to find some wild fruit. 200 miles later, you've reached the Mall. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tWscAKN.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] The camp here is smaller than in Pittsburgh, but still more or less has the same kind of stuff to offer. Additionally, you can do some combat training here. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jUVSf7K.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/bd3oiBT.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] What do you want to do now?
Buy more medkits.
Do some Combat Training, get some mad gains.
Saddened (or indifferent) over your friends untimely deaths, you think it's time to party. Blow [I]a moderate[/I] amount of cash (of your whopping $214) on booze/hard spirits if there is any, without spending too much like the part-Jew that you are. [editline]6th September 2015[/editline] Only then it is time for some combat training. Or angsty drunken stress relief.
put down yourself
[QUOTE=matt000024;48622662]Buy more medkits.[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, the shop has no medkits. You'll keep it in mind to buy some once you can. [QUOTE=Bat-shit;48625795]Saddened (or indifferent) over your friends untimely deaths, you think it's time to party. Blow [I]a moderate[/I] amount of cash (of your whopping $214) on booze/hard spirits if there is any, without spending too much like the part-Jew that you are.[/QUOTE] You buy 80 ounces of food from the shopkeep, hoping you can have some liquor thrown in. Unfortunately he has none, but at least you have some more food/drink for the rest of the trip. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3vmssXZ.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Bat-shit;48625795]Only then it is time for some combat training. Or angsty drunken stress relief.[/QUOTE] Dejected you have nothing to get drunk on, you ask around about combat training. After a few tries, you are presented with this: [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jQiXYcB.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] You give the man $80 and he then teaches you some new techniques. You have no idea how this will make your bullets travel faster, but you take his word for it. Not like you can get your money back anyways. Afterwards, you head back to your station wagon. What now, is there anything else you want to do before you head out?
Just GO. Carpe diem, bro.
