Teh great COSBI TEOTWAWKI thread!

[Admiral-Flota, CCCP]

Given recent events(news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7001897.stm) that point the way to the end of the world as we know it (TEOTWAWKI), I figured that COSBI members should set eschatological differences aside for a moment and discuss contingency plans.
Primarily, I would like to discuss the merits of Wheeling as a place to gather the COSBI forces in times of trouble. Here are (in no particular order) the advantages and disadvantages as I see them.

YAY!
-Cabela's
-Familiar territory
-Wheeling Island, a naturally defensible position
-Known COSBI allies present
-Good airport facilities
-Solid infrastructure
-Reliable population
-Several hospitals
-Quirk
-Levi's numerous powers
-Lots of booze

BOO!
-Most COSBI souljahs must migrate to Wheeling in case of an emergency
-Large enough population to attract the attention of THEM
-WoB and company
-Even the apocalypse won't stop Jesuit's alumni fund-raising
-??

What do you think? What would you do if this happened to you?

BONUS POINTS: Proboards' dictionary doesn't recognise the word "eschatological." It instead suggests "scatology," which is "the study of fecal excrement."

I'd agree. There is plenty of sub par housing available in the area as well......I should know.

Upon my victorious return I will be purchasing a housing unit up in Wheeling to provide for the needs of the COSBI Survival Unit. All the cogent points were hit on by Our Dear Admiral, but I must add that the terrain also give us an advantage, because zombies dont do well in mountains. Plus we can live off the supplies in the three "MAJOR" Universities in the area, oh yeah and we will have the protection of the back gate. Not to be forgoten DOC is also there, and must be protected.

Pros:
- Jerry returns
- We can continue to practice our sharpshooting on ye old family farm and I can continue to blow up propane tanks
- We can recruit the local hobos and hookers as "target practice"
- Stop sign behind WJU now reads "Stop, Collaborate and Listen"

Cons:
- Jerry returns
- Levi hasn't killed himself yet
- Hammond the Holy is still MIA

On a related note, I am thrilled COSBI has adopted my name WoB in reference to a certain red-headed succubus. Everyone knows that eschatological really isn't a word, because if theologians are notorious for one thing, it is for cultivating words and other knowledge out of our ass as we go along.

Don't forget Mena's midget collection. That's definitely a big pro.
Well, the WOB thing can be a little side project while we wait for TEOTWAWKI. You know, we can go do some undercover COSBI action and try and take her out (with the help of some good Jesuits, of course).

Indeed. When Jerry returns, I'm certain he'll complete a thorough tactical evaluation of his new digs. Strategically, Wheeling is a good place to be. It's only a third-tier nuclear target, and can be held out against zombie onslaught. Also, the lack of tall buildings reduces the number of perches for King Ghidora.

That said, it might be worthwhile to create a "COSBI site two" that is sufficiently isolated from the outside world to make construction of a super doom fort (TM) practical.

Any ideas?

I was thinking about this, and I say Jackson Hole Montana. We can aquire land cheap,, with the homstead act I think its being sold for $5.36 an acre. We would not have mineral or water rights, but when we take over the local economy we can be sure to cheat the poor indiginous people out of those rights.[

For once I actually Agree with Gerald. (It must be a miracle!) Jackson hole Montana...is a great location for a second base of operations.

There's always the family mining town out west. While they might be selling some of it in the near future, it is very remote and ideal for setting up a base.
