Alright, I have finally succumbed to the masses and decided to make an Armageddon, Fallout kind of RPG. *sigh*. Here is what's going on... It's the year 2984. Everything is peaceful and quiet. Until one day, a nuke is launched. No one knows what country did it, but panic and destruction ensues.And with panic comes loss of common sense. The Americans immediately assume the Russians did it. They nuke Russia, and Russia retaliates. The South Koreans automatically think the North Koreans did it, and nuke North Korea. North Korea retaliates. The whole vicious cycle is repeated again and again, until there are almost no survivors. In some cases, the radiation has caused brain damage, making the people not human, but some sort of zombie. You must figure out what country launched the original nuke and triggered armageddon...and survive.

You are a young man. You're doing your shopping at the store, when suddenly you hear a loud BOOOOM! and a bright flash of light. You drop to the ground, and you see the store TV crackle to life. It shows the President's face. "It appears that all across America and the other world powers are being attacked with atomic bombs! It is unclear at this point what has happened, but we assure you that the perpetrators will be punished." Then the TV, with another crackle, burst into black and white bars. All around you, people are running around screaming. What do you do?
A) Band together the people in the grocery store and try to get them to remain calm. Panic is our enemy. B) Gather supplies from the store. I'll need them. C) Go outside. I want to see the extent of the damage. D) Take cover in a more secure area of the store. E) Make your own option
You are a young boy at the middle school you attend. Suddenly there is a BOOOM and a bright flash of light, and the TV turns on. The president's face appears, apparently he is giving a speech. "It appears that all across America and the other world powers are being attacked with atomic bombs! It is unclear at this point what has happened, but we assure you that the perpetrators will be punished." Then the TV, with another crackle, burst into black and white bars. All around you, students are shaking, and a few of them are screaming. The teacher is trying to cool them down, but unsuccessfully. What do you do?
A) Band together the other students and try to get them to remain calm. Panic is our enemy, and strength in numbers. B) Look for anything in the school that might help us. C) Go outside. I want to see the extent of the damage. D) Take cover in a more secure area. E) Wait for the teacher to give instructions F) Make your own option
You try to band them together, but due to your rather mediocre Charisma, the panicked people ignore you. You feel yourself being buffeted this way and that by the horrified crowds. What do you do?
A) Leave B) Search for anything useful C) Make your own option
You find some food, water, and a tent. You go to your apartment...or what's left of it. It's totalled. Nothing left. You try your cell phone, but the reception towers must have been blown, because you can't use it. You don't know if any of your friends and family are alive or dead. What should you do?
Dude, you can't do things like that. Sorry, but you can't have an underground bunker. Kind of unrealistic. You look around, but you don't find them. What do you do?
You go outside, but the smoke is unbearably thick. You can't see your own hand in front of your face. You can barely breathe. The temperature out is incredibly high. What do you do?
You find a safe place to hide in the class. Unfortunately the safest place is under the spare desk in the closet. You hear a muffled BOOOM! and the whole thing starts to shake. You start to fear that the roof will cave in on you. What will you do?
