As what Bernkastel, not worth reading.

 

[GreeN!X]

Alright.

 

[Bernkastel]

Also, we need to decide the area where this thing should rather much take place. I mean, I've wandered off Italy, so it'd presumably be somewhere in Europe.

 

[David]

Maybe somewhere like center of Europe near Italy. Or we can like make it in Poland, Germany and so on... Also I will be coming from the places where the Balkan is.

 

[Xerxes]

When you say "this thing" what do you mean?

 

[Bernkastel]

Rather much the roleplay. It should be centered at some area. Of course it's not necessary at first. But I doubt people will wander around endlessly.

 

[David]

When will the RP start anyway ?

 

[AIagremm]

Normally I like to center such things around a certain location. Like for instances a ruined city.

 

[Bernkastel]

It obviously starts when Kael finds the time to give me the rights. So I can make it all clear if there will be new people so they won't pop in the rp like "lol can i join tihs?++?+? i wnat friends!2Idl :d.D:".

 

[David]

Lol... Well fine.

 

[Bernkastel]

It's today / tomorrow. It's not like you can't wait.

There's always place for improvement in the character biographies.

 

[Xerxes]

How about concentration on one of the islands near the Bermuda Triangle?

 

[Bernkastel]

I don't want to limit people's nationality, so that's what worries me in having this in one exact place.

And how exactly I just happened to get there by foot?
It should be a place people have a reason to go, we can't just randomly go to the same place.

 

[Binsu]

Right.

 

[kari0003]

Soo all of you said that you are from the US, you are dead! The supervolcano destroyed everything, the whole US. I think the "volcanic erruptions" shaped the world, so maybe it could be a new place, not the ol' countries...

I will be from the Carpathian Basin, so quite near to Italy..
Expect my character soon

 

[AIagremm]

Right you are, Kari. A volcano eruption of such caliber and the following winter would completely reshape the planet, from continents, sea levels and islands, to lifeforms and biomes.

 

[Bernkastel]

It is possible that it shaped the world, not forgetting that winter can do stuff also.

But Vatican is still Vatican.

Mean Alagremm. Posting the same time.

 

[AIagremm]

Yes I am. We still said practically the same thing though. And ancient cities survived thousands of years, they can survive a small apocalypse.

 

[kari0003]

I agree

So could be it masses (or what is left of them) migrating to the most vital places?

 

[Bernkastel]

So what will we have? A new Ediacaran era?

 

[AIagremm]

Ah the Great Migration of Nations. Those were some good times.

 

[Bernkastel]

Happy times. I used to go there when I was a kid! Oh wait.

 

[AIagremm]

Ah childhood. Although the conditions were terrible and no one ever had any tea.

 

[Xerxes]

Hmm... that winter and the blocked atmosphere should have frozen earth over. In 2023 when the sun's light can once again reach earth's surface wouldn't all that ice melt and the sea level rise to a critical level only leaving a few countries above the sea?

Even if 9% of the population survived I'm sure the people would be far separated from each other; and biodiversity has lowered drastically.

 

[Bernkastel]

I am not sure how to express myself.

 

[Binsu]

Hmmm.... MasterTrainer has a point, to be honest.

 

[AIagremm]

You were correct until the melting part. Sun reaches Earth nowadays too, but I don't see Antarctica turning into water in a matter of years.

The nuclear winter ending does not cause a flood, it just makes the conditions bareable. Allowing plantlife of the temperate climate to grow in most locations. However the sea level is stil very low, former seabed is a desert and the glaciers still cover all of Scandinavia, northern Russia, Siberia, Alaska and Canada.

 

[Bernkastel]

They all ran off! Nyahaha!

 

[Xerxes]

Now I'm not sure how to express myself.

 

[Binsu]

Al is just too intelligent. Nice!

 

[Xerxes]

I think though to survive the remaining humans would have built bunkers deep enough underground to harness the Earth's remaining warmth.

 

[AIagremm]

That is correct, puny human. I mean, fellow human. But mostly just re-using the ones left from the Cold War.

 

[Xerxes]

This is only my thought but if, and if, the humans that survived met each other, would their starvation lead to cannibalism?

(I mean no plant life, no food, frozen water...)

 

[Bernkastel]

Obviously in the case of some people, yes.

 

[Binsu]

Hmmmm.... still listening with this interesting conversation... Go on.

 

[AIagremm]

Well, as Ice Age showed, higher life forms such as mammals still manage to survive, so people would use the stockpiles left from civilized age as well as hunting. The more advanced groups could probably have created greenhouses.

Still, cannibalism is inevitable in such situations, as history shows.

 

[kari0003]

Teach more prof!

I will involve underground civilisation in my backstory as i always wanted to.. I only need to draw a pretty image about my char

 

[Binsu]

AL is our Science teacher maybe?

 

[Xerxes]

Now that I think of it, technology should have advanced from 2016-2023, so it might be possible that humans have prepared for the second ice age; but then again that might be out of the question.

Anyways assuming that only half of the total number of creature that survived were humans: if not all of them were lucky enough to stay in some sort of greenhouse to survive, and other people wanted to survive too but the greenhouses can't support anymore life, wouldn't that be a disaster?

So: people in greenhouses + people not in them but wanted to survive = (If and if the two parties found each other) possible disaster?

I don't think I'm making my point clear so I'll try again: assuming that the life-support advanced groups created can only support a limited number of lives, what would happen to the unlucky bunch that can't reach or be a part of life support? Won't those people do whatever they can to be able to survive? Even kill for personal gain?

 

[Binsu]

The battle continues....

 

[Amargaard]

Just for your information, all electricity is broken in my house, so I can only access Hive through other places
I somehow like what you did with history so far tho..

 

[Xerxes]

Then again, with only a rough estimate 156,629 species of life left on Earth's ice-covered land with (estimate again) at least 1000+ humans, I guess humans could have a fighting chance of surviving; with at least or less than half of the total number of humans left when the atmosphere clears... it could work.

 

[Binsu]

Genius.

 

[AIagremm]

Well of course humans will not suddenly become humanistic and do what's best for mankind. Most will just be trying to save themselves, that means that the communities that did establish greenhouses or even electricity would be under constant attacks from other survivors, until the majority of people died.
After that the human survivors are pretty far from each other, people only being able to survive in underground facilities or fortresses with greenhouses.

 

[kari0003]

Yeah fights between groups would be everyday. In a situation like this agressive people have more chances than the ones trying to stay out of everything.
Bad people obtain/steal all the good things that left, so they can survive.

 

[Xerxes]

I agree... if I were in a situation like this I would do anything to survive; "the hell with other people" that's what I'd keep in mind.

So anyways, after the cold, dark, ice age, when the nuclear winter ends: how would life thrive again? I would extend this question further but I rather stop here.

 

[AIagremm]

Well the dust in the atmosphere would fall down, meaning that much more sun reaches the surface. That means that even though the world is still in an Ice Age, it's possible to live on the surface now, unless you're too far north. So plantlife is restoring itself, covering lands where it used to be and animal life follows.

 

[Paillan]

can't we post a supid and nosense image whitout being tiraniced?

 

[AIagremm]

Not in this country, you don't.

 

[Paillan]

The US?
