    My position would be the person that hung around outside the village for years and 'accidentally' fell off the bridge when they finally tried to join :)

    I would like to see people like Vorak, Fish, TP and Japes in the chain of military command, but Arthgon has PRIVATE written all over him, so...

    Philes and rroyo will be the tribe geniuses. What with the scarcity of firearms, we need people with the brainpower to salvage and repair those we can find. Spears just don't do a good job fending off Raiders.

    Xiao also has duties to fulfill, as I am implementing the Hereditary Rule civic.

    "wobbler the Enforcer"

    How does that sound?

    Good luck with that, DE, considering my solemn vow to never bear spawn for any reason.

    But it's for the Good of the Tribe! On a related note: Firsties!

    Seeing how I wouldn't like to be too close when Xiao lashes out, you're more than welcome to call dibs on her at your own peril. You also have a possessive dog to look out for.

    On the note of tribe duties, I in my recklessness will be happy to test all experimental equipment. My lifespan is just that vague. Though not as vague as DF's right now.

    I can't promise I wouldn't purposefully rig firearms to explode in the hands of people I don't like DE.

    As tempting as the the position of military authority sounds I think when the apocalypse comes I will stay in Rosie's Zombie Fortress of Doom and have sex while I watch the HOTL tribe destroy itself.

    I bet Yuki is the first to get killed; become a zombie, and get killed again.

    And if you don't get the brain you can just keep killing her over and over.
    It'd be like a 'whack-a-mole' game.
    Only instead of a mole it'd be a Yuki and instead of a mallet it'd be a shotgun or shovel.
    We can charge for it.
    And if you do well on the 'Kill-Zombie-Yuki' game you get little tickets that you can trade in for a prize.

    There's a change maching in the lobby.
    Or if you go to the booth you can get the evening special.
    For $20 you get a pizza combo meal, 1 medium soda and $17 in quarters.

    Sounds about right Chief.

    I could take the Second Carrier of the Sharp Spear job, but perhaps I can take the Special Operations job as wel. That means that I will take the command of some men, and take dangerous missions. Examples: Taking out enemy commanders, retake cities, destroying enemy camps, etc.

    PS: Perhaps a list of positions could be made:

    Chief: Dark Elf
    Right Hand: Vorak
    Shaman:
    Commanders of the troops: JustFishInJar/
    Special Ops Leader: Arthgon
    Second Spear Carrier: Arthgon
    Shaman Apprentice: Xiao
    Tribe Psycho: Minous
    Healer:
    Advisor:
    And more

    As long as "Special Operations" include the eating of unknown and potentially hazardous foods before anyone else in the tribe does, I'm all for it.

    Don't worry, you stand a very good chance of becoming the first mutant of the tribe!

    Good man, the trick is to make it look like an accident.

    We could sell weapons to competing tribes, reap huge profits and watch them die horrible deaths while we count the money, erh, bottle caps.

    Oh, and I'll maintain a private stash of firearms, thank you very much.

    Oooh, advisor is free. I can go for it. Not saying it will be good advice, and it isn't said who should I be giving that advise, but what the hell, I have an urge to point out when people do stupid things no matter the situation, and intentions are half of the success. Even if I turn out to be the local smartass who nobody listens to, it's still better than being the first to eat the glowing plants.

    I'm not reckless enough to not look over a piece before attempting to use it. You'd have to master the art of timed and/or remotely controlled explosions to put me down.

    Fixed again.

    *This will include: Commanding a Special Force who will Kill enemy Commanders, recapture cities, destroy enemy camps, etc.

    PS: I do not know what will happen when someone else shall eat the Uknown and Potentially Hazardous Glowing Food after me, because I have a great constitution.

    Not that I'm wild about continuing this list, but don't forget that people wouldn't be limited to (or expected to carry out) only one duty. I only mention this because I've a number of skills without taking my psychosis into consideration. The plot thickens, the list becomes potentially too complicated for necessity, I stop encouraging its development and head off to finish what I was doing.

    It seems that I have misspelled your name indeed. What for other duties do you want to do?
