Conflicted is a game which consists of multiple decks, each deck containing 52 cards, and on each card is a question. The setting is in an environment where some catastrophic event has occurred. Could be nuclear war, World War III, horrible disease, economic collapse, but regardless of the scenario, no form of government really exists or if it does it is unable to help you. No calling 911, no cell phones, no internet. Its just yourself, maybe friends and family, and possibly a small group of people who can help you. Not necessarily Mad Max/Post Apocalyptic, but cohesive civilization with modern technology at our fingertips is essentially over.

 

Every week I will post one of the cards (selected at random), and each participant writes a response to what they would do in that situation or how they might handle it. I will let the thread run for one week, and then post a new question. Post as much as you like after giving your response. Debating and analyzing is part of the game! I won't be playing as I am the one running the game.

 

There are no right or wrong answers as the game is about hearing how people could navigate a stressful or perilous situation.

 

Deck 1 - Downfall: Nine of Diamonds

You see a wave of men in orange inmate suits walking down the street toward your home. They have pipes and makeshift clubs in their hands but they do not seem to be breaking into any homes or bothering anyone. At this distance, you could take most of them out with your AR-10 but, once they get close, you will be overwhelmed if they try to jump you. Do you take the chance and let them pass or do you start shooting people who have done nothing to you? Why?


The idea of war is not to die for your country, it's to make the enemy die for his.

A wave? I will interpret that as at least 50. They're not breaking into any houses, which means no one else is getting attacked... so why should I believe they are just coming for me and give up my position? Let them pass. If they don't just pass, they will have to get through my defenses that I have most certainly put up.

Why is it that I have my rifle aimed at them? Am I a cop that helped put all these inmates into jail? If that is the case and I know they are coming for me, I might consider opening fire. If I am just some person with no association at all, I will likely stay put and do nothing.

A terrible local, regional, or national catastrophe has recently occured and its now apperent jail/prison inmates have broken free or were released for some unknown reason. You are armed to protect yourself and your home against possible looters.
