Protect and Survive: A Timeline

However, the gold wouldn't necessarily be there.

Correct. I'm not sure where the gold would have been moved, though.

Gold, Mr Bond!

Niiiiiiice

its brilliance, its divine heaviness.

I welcome any enterprise that will increase my stock,

which is considerable."

After the Exchange, dosimeters will be more valuable than any gold.

You can nuke Wall Street, but you can not nuke the principles of capitalism.

If you have a dosimeter to spare and three strangers approach you offering either:

- 1000 US$ in cash
- property rights to a lot sized 2000m² in NYC
or
- some gold

...whom would you be inclined to deal with?

 

[Falkenburg]

Do I have a gun, to go with my Dosimeter?

Depends. Where's the lot located? Is there good parking?

Or you shoot all three of them, keep your goods and take the lot

Why the thought never crossed my mind. ()

I said you have a dosimeter to spare. Not bullets.

Concerning the parking in NYC: there is loads of parking space around despite its central location, but you should rather have a 4WD.

Or something more substantial with ABC protection gear and ideally caterpillars instead of wheels.

That, and more importantly, you would loose Karma.


Oh, and if i read the thread correctly: Luxembourg seems to be toast. Well maybe there is still something standing in the Ardennes,

 

[Hörnla]

That, and more importantly, you would loose Karma.

And you would never need THAT more urgently.

Well, I cannot imagine that the Northern half of Luxemburg would be hit much.

Gold, enough said

 

[Biggles]

Gold has the advantage that you can wear it.

Personally, I'd prefer something a bit more useful for bartering - such as bars of soap. Lots and lots of bars of soap.

 

[Biggles]

Hmm, last weekend I was in Newcastle - first time I've ever visited it. Hard to look at it the same way after re reading the early chapters of this TL.

 

[Hoisin Fried Beef Chicken]

Oh Macragge! Where ist thou?

[GAB-1955]

Gold, enough said

I'll take that gold's weight in salt.

 

[Falkenburg]

I'll take that gold's weight in salt.

This man gets into my shelter.

*Holds picket sign - "We want an update, we want an update !"

Seconded!

____________________
For short term purposes, salt has may uses and it will be valuable even in a more destructive scenario, since it can be used in emergency temporary bartering, and can later converted in a formal currency, while in the long term, the gold will also be useful to convert in currency.

Thirded, however Jack seems to be AWOL since being kicked. I haven't heard back from him either here, or on HPCA.
Hope he's okay.

If he is I suggest it's time for us to start forming a mob. I'll bring the burning torches.
