You go on a food run with your teammates or by yourself. As you walk through the streets, you notice papers stapled all over the walls. You snag one off the wall to read it when you get back to safety.
Later you begin looking at it. It seems to be an ad but in this time of day?

!!ATTENTION!!

WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION NOW UP FOR GRABS!

I have assault rifles, handguns, sniper rifles, explosives, anti-dog suits, and riot shields!

Hold your horses, it ain't free

I'll be willing to barter for these weapons

Any kind of moneys, preferably high values: Handgun

Food: Assault Rifle

Sexy Women (For just one night): One of everything

Gas: One box of ammo per gallon

If you have other deals, I'll compensate

PLEASE STOP BY! I'M AT THE LOCAL SHOPPING CENTER, RIGHT IN THE PARKING LOT

TRADE WITH ME!!!



Questions:

Would you trust this ad?
-If not, why?
-If you do, what would you trade for?

What type of person do you think this is?

You can make more examples from this idea but I'm just putting it out there.
Basically, if someone offers you weapons, what would you do for it?

Barter is going to be how things are done in a Zpoc or any Apocalyptic situation.

If I was in need of something this person might have I would conduct a recon with my group. Keep in mind that whether this is a good guy or a bad guy he is going to have security, surveillance and possibly counter surveillance. You don't stride in like John Wayne. Danger is all around. Don't forget, for the purposes of this site, there are zeds out there. Find maps of the area. Plan escape routes. Plan cover for retreat. Use your resources. Find out to the best of your ability what you're facing. If you can't get a good read or you are outgunned pass it up.

Cool! Thanks for the insight
I think i would have to agree and only go in after proper recon, and leave people near by for back up and then if things go south rob this SOB of everything he has but ya i would only be going in there if I knew almost 100% that it wasn't a double cross, and if this guy was telling the truth i would set up someway of combining our resources
this is when i put on my stealth suit, and use the high power scope on my rifle to scope him out. if it looks legit, i come back, if not, i just turn the other way. you're in almost no danger if you keep yourself far away from him, if he's that dumb to put up fliers, then he will obviously have a tail of zeds on him.
If it's a set up for a rip off and you have stronger forces I say take him out. Life is gonna be hard enough in the Zpoc without assholes like this..
Another one is "The winner writes the history."
it's a trap. what better way to sort out who is "fat" for the slaughter, with little ability to defend themselves than with this ad?

as for gas... people say that there will be a gas shortage. and i am personally of the mind that there will be plenty for at least a little while. the reason is economical. too much demand for the supply at hand. lessen the amount of people drastically, and force the remaining people to completely cut out their unnecessary traveling, and you've got alot of gas sitting idle. tap a tank or 2 for a refill, etc.

this is the reverse of what i feel will happen with ammunition. the demand will increase greatly for it. and the most common calibers in america will dwindle much faster than others due to the amount of firearms available. i expect that .223, 5.56 nato, 9mm, .40 cal, and .45 cal (which are the most common ammunitions other than the .22lr) will dry up very quickly.

so if the guy is legit and wants gas for ammo. i'll drive a couple tankers to his front door.
