Invading armies can be bad enough, but guerillas can easily be as bad, if not worse. Armies have some form of rules of engagement but guerillas only have shoot first and consider asking questions later. I wouldn't expect them to be fighting in the marshland, the army would want the ability to use armor and get their equipment moved quickly, though the guerillas would like the ease of concealment. My plan would be to move as quietly as possible through the marshes towards the closest border and cross. No matter how much I agree with the guerillas I would never approach a fighting force in the middle of the battle, that's just plain stupid. Their panicking and already not highly trained so not a good idea. Maybe if I can meet with them at another time when their not currently being shot at, maybe when their in a village or on the march but not during constant firefights in marshland. To approach the guerillas I'd want to be sure they knew I was not of the other army and was not a threat, so only day time in a wide, safe looking area, again, preferably a village or something like that. At this point my plan is to still use the marshland to my advantage and continue towards the closest border. If I meet up with the guerillas later at a better time I'd consider joining them but never approach them during a firefight or time of high tension, that's just plain stupid.

Good point. I expressed that point, as they would nto be trusting you. When I ment show them very visibly, is help them in battle someway, if you can, like slitting a invader's throati n front of them, or helping get one away fro ma greande or something. But, your plan is very valid. However, I still need a few more responses for this Scenario.

Then I will mvoe on to the next portion.

If they were fighting I would go around them..lol... Id stick to the marshy parts where its dense with bushes and forest and try to make it to the end of the line where theres none of them, seeing as though both would try to kill you.

Wex. One problem with your plan. YOU have no DARK clothing. So fail.

However, hitting the ground is alright, but you can still be spotted by the helicopters search lights. The branches are a ok idea, but I wouldn't use them. It makes you stand out more in a feild, seeing some large dark, and twisted shape running or sneaking at a high speed, thats kind of odd. So, Wex, you got to think it over a bit more. Consider the circumstances.

2 more people to respond, then we can move on.

Reviving topic, all these crap topics tried to bury this club. WELL LET THERE BE-bang*

I think this needs a new scenario, any ideas?

Yes. Since no one has responded since the last post, heres a new scenario. Oh and Texan, if you want to be able to sign up for the club, just ask, and I'll give you a scenario personally for you.


Now then. Continuation of the former. You slip through the marshlands, however, you have a gunshot wound in your leg. It is very painful to walk, and your now in a village. Your quite exhuasted. Some Geurilla's are in the town, and they notice you, but aren't taking action towards you, just simply staring at you as you limp. You still have a metal bar from the old signpost, and you are in the town. Now then.

What do you do?

That bullet wound needs treating before anything else, infection is a serious threat. Is the wound through and through or is the bullet still in there? If the wound is through and through I'd have tried to get some cloth and wrap the wound up to help stop bleeding and buy me some time, maybe the same with the bullet still in, I'm not a medic. If there's any form of doctor or anyone like that I'd go directly to them as that wound needs looking at. It seems like the gurrellias aren't interested in me at the moment and with the wound I consider that a good thing. Keep using the stop sign pole as a crude walking stick and try to find the doctor. If there isn't one, try to find some alchohol and clean the wound before wrapping it with fresh bandages/cloth, whatever I can find. Not the best solution but the best one I have.

Go to the guerilla's offer them information in exchange for medical treatment and food, however notify them that this will be your only contact and as soon as you're able to walk you will leave. However be sure to hold off on telling them the most valuable info. until you're able to escape.

The bullet is through and thrrough. It went through your lower calf of your left leg. It's a ok answer, but not the best. I would personally do some of what you said. I Would probably see, if I could find some cloth. Then I would get under a tap of water (Which I could find easily) rinse off my leg, thentake alcohol as you said, rinse it, then take more water. Then, I'll see if I can find some string, and a needle, which could be found in a farmer's house, and they'd probably give one to me quickly if I asked nice enough, as it is really only a needle and thread. Then I would stitch the wound up, then wrap the cloth around it.


That would be full flying colours. You did fairly well.


Kyouzou. The Geurilla's know way more then you do about troop movements. And you really have no bartering terms with them whatsoever, unless you want to go naked and give your metal bar.

So, thats not wise. Plus, who said the Geurilla's will give you their things for you. They don't even know who you are.
Also, don't demand things from them. They'll kill you if you do that.

Remember. As long as you don't be hasty or angry towards them, and since you are a wounded civilian, they'll guess your one of their countrymen, which you are. So, play nice with them, and don't be a tough guy. Because your honestly not in this vulnerable period.

I do like how you go up to them though. It would be good to ask them if you can stay for a while, until you recover. That is satisfactory, and I approve of your notifying. Just be careful of what you say, ask, and do. Because the Geurilla's, even if they are fighting for your freedom, they don't give a crap if they shoot a few straggling civilians along the way.


But in overall, it's just needs revising. Texan. You want a scenario?

Sure, I'll take a scenario.

Also comrade could you get me a scenario? this sounds interesting and i wanna take a whack at it

Mhm k. Scenario's for both. And as a little knack... I'll have you both in it.

You, santajoe, and texan, are brothers.
In this case, you are in a house, and you have heard there will be huge floods, but you don't believe it. However, in 5 hours, a huge rush of water comes, and water gushes through your door. Your in a one story house, and have a kitchen, living room, and a bunk bed area for sleeping. You would only have items found in a lower class home of America.

Now then. The water finally breaks down the door, and about 4 feet of water is in your house, and the water raises by about 5 cm every 30 minutes. What do you do? Remember, there is two of you. And yoour nation your in has poor response teams, you won't be rescued for a while. So think of a plan. I'll give you both time.

Even thought the scenario isn't for me, I'm gonna answer it.

I would try and find a large flat object, like a bed, or table. Flip it up side down, and jump on top. I'm assuming there are windows I could break out of on said table.

From there, i would try and get to a tree, or the side of a house or something, and then attempt to get on top. If I am in an urban community, I would jump from house to house untill I reached shallow waters. Otherwise, if Iknew where the water was pushing me, I would let the current take me, while trying to keep from flipping off.

IF the water was standing still, I would find a peice of wood to use as an oar, and try and find dry land, and help there.

Well when the water is in the house i would have texan help me push the bunk bed over to a window of some kind. The i would climb on the top of the bunk bed, climb on to the roof and let texan follow me. Then (assuming that the water won't reach the top of the house) We would wait for rescue.

If the water was going to reach the top of the house, i would take a both the mattresses from the bunk beds and lash them together with a few cords from various appliances around the house thus fashioning a boat, then breaking the window frame and using the broken wood as oars, i would row to shallow waters
