I have a few questions that I would like answers to in order to be able to finish my intro piece.

1. What date did the nukes start flying?

2. If a ship was in the middle of the Atlantic when the nukes destroyed the U.S., how would it have been affected - electronic and mechanic wise...?

3. The ocean itself... would nuclear fallout have any affect on it (aside from the adverse weather conditions)?

The only one I could answer for you would be #2. EMP only affects electronic equipment that is turned on, of if its really close. So if the boat was running and a nuke went of within a certain radius it would no longer run, but if its off your good.

In that case I'm guessing a ship in the middle of the Atlantic wouldn't be affected by any of the nukes.

Thanks for that answer.

Yea, I would assume it wouldn't be. And no problem.

And on another note, if you can catch a re run of it try and watch Apocalypse Man, he goes over A LOT of urban survival techniques. Another good one is the nuke episode of Surviving Disaster on Spike [he goes over EMP and how to stay out of radiatopn areas and shit].

Question 1. You could probably find that in the all-post Jackuul made when he first made this site. It's basically a little article a scientist wrote about the horrific times that were being put into motion. I'll go find it in a sec.

EDIT: Okay, so I tried to find the damn thing... And I can't. It's always been hard to find for some reason. I'll talk to YJ and put the link here, if it exists anymore.

Question 2. Probably wouldn't be working. I don't know why a ship would be stalling in the middle of the ocean for no reason. Although if it were far enough, it would probably be alright. you'd have to ask Jackuul for that one.

Question 3. Again, ask Jackuul.

Nevermind. I think I bit off more than I can chew with the British SAS survivors idea.

I've decided to ressurect my old character and revamp him instead, so say hello to "new Jake" - sheriff of a dead world.

Dude, I totally remember Jake Idaho. Your old avatar was taken from the 30 Days of Nights film.

Yep. Josh Hartnett. Awesome avatar but I think it would make the character appear too young to be a former sheriff.

Who were you playing as back then?
