Utterly Mad

Setting

It was six years ago when the Flood happened. It over took all of the sea side cities and surged inland into America and other countries. It stopped before consuming everything, but by then society had collapsed. People formed groups and began living under their own rules, or living lives of anarchy and self indulgence in the apocalypse.
And now here we are, with you stumbling into shelter from the pounding rain.


Mechanics
This is turn based RP with the turns taking one in game week.
Time Management: You will dictate how much time is dedicated to what task everyday for the current turn per person, so if you control two people then you'll dictate both their schedules.
Food and water: You need food and water to survive. You can find these by scavenging or by some other means.
Construction: You can build objects, workbenches, etc. and fortify where you've holed up to better survive. Whether it's rain catchers or covering a hole in the wall, the objects you construct can either help provide resources or help you defend against any possible attacks.

Is being on a boat okay?

John Mattock
You entered the old church to find several pews smashed and only two of the stained glass windows still intact. After exploring the building you found a hammer and some boards(though their not long enough to cover the windows), looks like the church was doing some renovating. You also found large box of crackers and a few jugs of grape juice in the cellar. In the belfry you don't find much, but someone stole the bell, but there's some rope left.

Hardware store 1 hour away
Hospital 3 hours away (flooded)
Gas station 1 hour away



John Wells
The mall was a little over waist deep in water when you arrived. You managed to grab a sledgehammer on your way through the hardware store that you entered the mall through. Wading through the water you found a counter with a jug of water that someone must have left along with a few packets of MREs. You figure you can scavenge around the mall for things you might need, but to go too far outside the mall would require something to help you move.
Nearby Locations
The mall 0 hours away (A mall is large enough that you can scavenge it for odds and ends, and you might find specific locations to go back to)
Hardware store 30 minutes away (inside mall)
Office 1 hour away
Housing district 2 hours away (time penalty, flooded)

Dan Bale
The top floor of the hotel was abandoned, with suit cases and abandoned items left in the hallways and in the rooms. Several people took it as an opportunity to loot and it appears they attempted to steal everything from jewelry to the Hotel's TVs and stereo systems. The roof didn't have anything much to mention, a couple of air conditioning units. You found some vegetables and a carton of water bottles.
Nearby locations
The Hotel 0 hours away (because it's a hotel, it's pretty big)
Wal-Mart 1 hour away
Office supply store 2 hours away
Home depot 4 hours away (flooded)

George Smith
Your apartment was still relatively well kept but the water wasn't running anymore and everyone else had left. You stored some bottles of water and preserved foods, and you managed to find a pocket knife from somewhere. Unfortunately the ground floor was was up to your knees in water.
Nearby locations
Mcdonalds 30 minutes away
small grocery store 1 hour away
Warehouse 2 hours away (flooded)

Paxton Hawke
You managed to find a sea worthy boat before the flood got too bad in your area. Unfortunately now the surrounding area is mostly underwater saving for some multi story buildings you could see. You searched the vessel and found a few cans of food and bottles of water, along with a fishing pole, fishing line, and hooks along with a pocket knife. Unfortunately you don't see any bait. Thankfully the ship already had sails and a motor, but you'll need gas for it.
Nearby locations
3-story hotel 1 hour away
Fry's 2 hours away (for those that don't know, it's an electronics store...)
two story car dealership 2 hours away




Notes to players
you can just explore and find new places to scavenge from or otherewise.
And don't forget to budget some time for sleep, maybe not every day but I'm not going to let you get away with going two months without it.
If you have questions go ahead and ask, I'll answer any I can even if it's not in a full blown update.
Yes, you don't have much, but that's kind of the point. You need to find materials and items to build things to help you survive, and I didn't want to hand you too much, just some things to help you get started.

Max that's not how this works.
Every in game turn takes a week. You assign a number of hours to a given task for each day. So a turn might look something like this

Monday: 4 hours scavenging at Mcdonalds(factor in travel time so you're spending 3 and a half hours scavving), 6 hours building (insert thing here), 6 hours scavenging at home depot, 6 hours sleeping.

and do that for the seven days of the week.
oh, and travel time is totalled for getting there and getting back to your current location.

John grumbles ["Someone must'a really hated this church...",

Monday: He spends 1 hour heading to the hardware store and 2 hours scavenging for what he can find, he spends 2 hours (approx.) Heading to the gas station from the hardware store and another 2 hours looting the gas station. He then heads back and heads up the belfry to look around for any more locations and any possible intruders for an hour. He has a meal of a few crackers and grape juice and goes to sleep in one of the pews.

Tuesday: John looks around the church for an hour to see if there's any intact bibles. He spends around an hour disassembling one of the pews for nails and wood, he then spends 6 hours fortifying the church with the broken pew wood, hopefully the parts that you sit on and rest your back on are long enough to cover the Windows somewhat. He saves one of the pews to sleep on.

Wednesday: John will spend 3 hours heading toward the flooded hospital, and another 2 hours exploring the surrounding area. He then spends another 3 hours heading back. He spends the rest of the day watching for intruders.

Thursday: He'll spend 7 hours exploring for new locations and spends 4 heading back. He rewards himself with some crackers.

Friday: He'll spend 1 hour heading to the hardware store and 5 hours looting. He'll spend 2 hours heading toward the gas station and spend 6 hours looting. He heads back and has some grape juice, ands sleeps.

Sunday-Saturday: He'll spend 12 hours looting the hardware store and 1 hour heading back, he'll spend 7 hours sleeping. He'll spend 8 hours heading to and looting the gas station. He'll head back and keep watch for 4 hours, then he sleeps for 8 hours.
