Head back down south. No need getting murdered when there are meatshields other players nearby.

To the North!

Thiiiiis.

Why is it everytime it's possible to make the 'Thiiiiis' joke (or any other) on this thread I arrive a post or two after it's been told? I'll swear, it's like a conspiracy to stop me from posting!

...That said I agree with the quote pyramids point. Selling the Titan to Dwarves isn't our goal. It is our Forum Gamely Duty as posters on Bay 12. We must prove ourselves to the Dwarves as their equals in really-bad-and-possibly-suicidally-stupid ideas!

No they would think  "Oh crap the city is dark and there might be robbers and looters" which would lead to "I better get a weapon to defend my home and family" whic segways into "Hmmmmmm... that knife there looks sharp."

If your a crazed survivalist then yes that would be what you'd think.

He might be... genre savvy, perhaps? I'd prepare a flashlight and venture out into the outdoors, if possible. Just to know the situation.

I think the arguement is that roleplaying as a network admin who might be considering using this as an excuse to stay inside all day brushing up on his Quake skills is more interesting than playing to get into the best possible situations for survival.

Basically do we think he's gonna go look on the internet to read peoples facebook statuses or start stockpliling water whilst the taps still work?

... Look at us argueing over the actions of a fictional character in a forum choose your own adventure game.

Set up barriers on the bridge to better funnel enemies into it. Set up ballista using the wood found in the fort and aim them at the bridge for a precautionary measure. Prepare some bats of boiling alcohol to pour over the invaders as they funnel into the fort. Give two crossbow dwarves torches to throw on the enemy as they pass underneath. Finally, recruit a militia and melt down any metal remaining in the fort after the ballista are made to make some spears. Set them up in front of the Axemen at the base of the bridge inside the fort in a defensive hedgehog formation.

Also, get our most charismatic dwarf to deliver a speech to our brave warriors on the merits of not dying. Preferably he must have an exceptionally long beard.

This. Also convert our gardens into farms for some of our more alcoholic crops. Plump Helmets anyone?
