Conflicted Card Game Deck 2: Week 23

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 2 - Survival Scenarios: King of Diamonds

You were forced out of your survival retreat by an incoming hostile army. Now on the run, food and water are low. You and your survivalist friends can barely stave off hunger by foraging. One of your friends comes to you in need of advice. His spouse decided she'll sell her body for supplies at the trade post, in order to feed the children. Your friend is between a rock and a hard place and needs your input. What would your advice be?

My advice would be that they make a treaty with the hostile army because they most likely have the resources to advance and success. Maybe sell some of their farmland or work for them in change for their protection and food. Even though that is a hard choice because the army was hostile to you and they have the possibility to decline the offer and keep taking your resources and land, it the best option. Diplomacy might work in this situation.
