Stillwater.

So I would just surrender instead of sending the survivors to death.

I would ask if I could keep leading Stillwater to keep rebuilding.

That's actually the trick isn't it.

I would try to convince them, keeping me in leadership would be benefitial to them.

You would presumably be forging relationships with other surviving cities.

Gunpowder literally is black powder dude. You're thinking of smokeless powder

Yeah that is what I think would be a good idea Pratel.

Modern primer is usually a high explosive miss.

WE are already on a different subject Missdanger.

I assumed you meant modern gunpowder, didn't think you were talking about muskets and early cowboy guns

Talking about Forging relationships and dealing with the remaining Untied States Military.

This chat is going 2fast4me

I would try my best to rebuild to the best I can. Forging relationships with surviving cities and establish some kind of government from what is left over.

Try to rebuild, basically that is what I would be aiming for.

Rebuilding.

I actually think you'd see the fragmentation of governments.

really though potassium nitrate isn't too hard to manufacture from urine

No doubt.

That will be the tricky part.

Getting people to come together as one.

Alot of the real arguments would be all the people claiming to be the true government with no representatives actually present.

I think the best way is to position my city in a position of dominance.

Aka Better at everything.

Then negotiate.

Fair deals and trade, then combining government.

Communities along rivers would be trading hubs

With central mayors of city dealing with issues.

Easier transport

I can see that Missdanger, but would the water be radiated?

I don't think you get a choice.

That is why I didn't say collecting from rivers, I said collecting from rain water in my guide.

You're limited by the resources you have available.

Some places will have more and others less.

And there would be power conflicts.

Oklahoma gets so much rain...

It isn't funny.

As long as we have water filtrations and water reservoir storage underground, I think we could survive.

Yo send some of that rain to the west coast, shits on fire for weeks now

Prefer underground bunker to be honest, due to tornadoes we get.

That why it would be important to clear top soil of the surrounding area.
