Privacy
Author: captainrads on Sat, 2011-12-03 09:48How available will privacy be after Z-Day? And for that matter, how practical will it be to have privacy? The idea that you should always have a buddy is a good idea, but being around someone for a long time could wear on your nerves. And for some of us, we need time alone to clear our heads and think and such. And of course, there’s the question of how would using the bathroom go? Assume you have others with you when the apocalypse comes, of course.
Bluewolf25 | Sat, 2011-12-03 09:56 |honestly I have no shame so dropping trow and taking a dump with someone else in the room doesn’t bother me. Plus I have two young boys that refuse to give Daddy any alone time so Im used to no privacy.

Shadow01192 | Mon, 2012-01-16 20:45 |Privacy is a necessity, I personally suggest a room in the place that your group will be staying in set up as the private room. Where as if something where happen you would still be there and ready to fight and everyone would have a chance to get away from each other. Because it doesn’t matter how much you like someone after a few days to a week where they are your only company, all day every day, You really just want to kill em. Then again the psychological trauma of a Zombie Outbreak could cause you to fear being alone. Or worse it could cause you to fear being around others. Imagine a child who watched it’s mother and father turn, survived simply by luck and running. The child wouldn’t trust anyone. So I mean considering the circumstances I still think the ability for a group to separate with really being far from each other is a bad thing. Going to the bathroom wont change, if you’ve ever been camping that’s basically it, every one scouts the area and then you go behind a tree and do what ya gotta do. If your in a house check the bathroom and then lock the door, and do what you gotta do. If you don’t have people with you when it happens, I do not envy you. It’s true that time around people can get annoying but enough time without people can get deadly. Humans are social creatures and without other humans and the realization that undead are walking and have eaten everyone you loved, after a while your mind alone will kill you. And remember post Z-day I will consider no one my enemy for one reason. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. As long as Zed exists all humans should be allies. Any who disagree with this are just another Zed to me.
. . .problem? Good!

in theory i would have no human enemies, but there are so many unknowns in reality that i dont know if i could do that. For example, my team and family are together, and we happen to come across just enough food for us to get where we r going, and there is another group that wants it. Im not gonna sacrifice my family and friends for someone else. Thats why i say survival of the fittest (lets just hope that the zombies aren’t the fittest).
Also, there may be crazy people who believe the zeds are purifying earth and will kill us and help zombies get to us, like taking down barricades. I would kill them to.
Overall, great idea in theory, but may not turn out that way in reality.
Would you like a side of EPIC with that FAIL?

jaket333 | Mon, 2012-01-16 20:46 |so assuming you have JUST your friends and YOUR family. not your friend’s families also?

and as for privacy i agree with the “privacy room”

Getting sick of people could cause serious problems.

Gabrielwilldie | Mon, 2012-01-16 20:59 |We’re talking about of possible end of human life/litterally fight, scratch, and utterly claw out a new form of existence….one which most people in modern civilization have no perspective on.
Little things like getting those wonderful moments alone, taking a dump in a locked room, ect..ect…They are going to be way down the list on things you should be worried about. You’ll be lucky if you have enough people alive around you to even want privacy. Luck will also be your’s if you’ve food to turn into feces.
Although sleeping in shift probably would provide you with privacy….but that scary ‘i hope they don’t break though, because i don’t want these sleep dudes to wake up still half assleep and start shooting in every direction.’ XD
admiralferro | Mon, 2012-01-16 20:59 |Depends on your situation, if you are out in the wild, then privacy is just something that you can not afford to have. I dont care if I am going to take a dump, I would want someone near me at all times, but if you had a safe house or compound, it might be different. I still would be careful though.
Also you can find privacy in reading a book, or listening to music. This will allow you to get your mind off the situation and off of anything else that bothers you.
You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocketship underpants don’t help.
Marius | Mon, 2012-01-16 21:00 |as far as bathroom time, you gotta go when you gotta go. as far as nerves. i hate my friends i enjoy spending time with some of them, but even they get tiring after a while. so i’d ditch them but still keep them at a safe distance (if that makes any sense).

If possible, I’d prefer to have two take the night shift. If one falls asleep, the other can wake him up. If only one is awake and he falls asleep…

DemonicVengeance | Mon, 2012-01-16 21:01 |Two words. Fire buddies. I ain’t takin a poop without my fire buddy near by, my rifle right beside me and if i’m in a bigger group at least one more group of people knows where I am at all times. If I poop my fire buddy better be in the next room or hell even right by me but not like half a house if a zed gets in if you know what i mean. I’m just unable to phrase this better right now. May edit in the AM

desert zombie | Mon, 2012-01-16 21:01 |actualy the bathroom problem can be fixed. there is something called nature. just stand in different directions holdin your thing in one hand and your gun in the other. SOLVED
we are the future of the world. treat your life kindly.
captainrads | Mon, 2012-01-16 21:01 |That’s assuming too much:
1. That you are near nature
2. That you can actually get outside
3. That everyone has a “thing”The last one was more of a joke, but you get my point. Its possible that you will find yourself holed up somewhere small that can’t easily be left without finding zombies or luring them to you.
And privacy doesn’t narrow down to bathroom usage. Sometimes, you just need some time alone or you want to be away from people in general.

Wrath06 | Mon, 2012-01-16 21:02 |Privacy will be hard to come by, for bathroom needs or other more intamate situations. I would think that women would be more concerned about it than men. I would have no problem turning away if the other person had a problem with it.

nick47 | Wed, 2012-08-08 12:45 |It’s not really private if everybody knows what goes on in the “privacy room”….. Honestly, if you give me a good book and some peace and quite its like you aren’t even there. Ill be lost in some other world and not caring that you are like five feet from me.

gallo_retired | Wed, 2012-08-08 13:34 |Humans are social creatures, but, privacy is a necessity as well. Typically, I’ll spend many hours with my neighbors after work hanging out and unwinding from my day of hell at work, but, these past couple days, I’ve felt the need to take sanctuary in my home, with the shades drawn, and the lights out, just me and my thoughts. They understand that I need to withdraw once in a while, and the way I see it, if I am having a completely shit day, I’d rather lock myself up in solitary confinement than bring the shit up their driveway and crush their moods. My door is always open, and if they want to venture up into the darkness, enter at your own risk. Today and yesterday were those days for me, I sat at home, and for lack of a better term, hid. I didn’t leave the house until around 6:30pm today where I spent all of an hour with my neighbor Todd, until Nie called me to check up. I’m not sure why my fuse was lit, but, I felt that it was best that I put myself into seclusion so that nobody around me got hurt.
As for post apocalyptic Gallo, I may want my space from time to time, but, I expect from my survival group, that they know that, and remain in ear shot if they are needed, or I am needed. I feel that though I may be having a shit day, I still have the capacity to swallow the problem long enough to deal with the task at hand, and once the smoke clears, go back to my corner of the safe area until I am once again myself. In turn, if Bluewolf was having a bad day, I’d leave him the hell alone, until he’s ready to be social. When it comes to the group, we have so many eyes, we can afford to allow someone to “sit this one out” and we can watch over his kiddies, and the rest of the group.

DE | Wed, 2012-08-08 15:00 |Hey guys, I think theres a problem with my battlefield. I start playing, then kill some guys, when I press reload the main menu opens, suddenly. Then I return to the game, kill some people, when I press reload, IT CRASHES!!!! without any reports.
Its not fun without reloading. I hate this shit. I have to solve this problem. Is there any computer savvy guys who knows what to do? By now I guess all girls have stopped reading right? Im asian so I wouldnt want others to look at the size of my weewee when I do my business. Unless if I hang with other dudes with the same hardware.
And this post is merely for laughter and entertainment purposes.
it may come or it may not. But its not just zeds that may ruin your life

WDLKD | Sun, 2012-08-12 07:27 |A “real” discussion? Alright, Privacy. It depends on what your plan is, really. For many of those people who are planning on strapping their pack to their back and disappearing off into the woods i imagine that they are going to experience a lot of “privacy”. Even if they take a few people with them, privacy in the woods won’t be too hard to achieve.
For those planning on bugging in, private time is going to be a lot more difficult to get. Everybody’s plan is different, but i can say with our current alpha site that privacy is going to be limited quite a bit. We will be squeezing twenty people into a ranch house. The only privacy one can really expect is toilet time and perhaps if one is quarantined for any reason. A discussion i’m actively trying to bring up is how married couples can get private time to be able to engage in copulation to reproduce. The group isn’t willing to talk about it now, and seem to be more like, “we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it”. Even though i know that Sex is important to a relationship and mental health reasons and for the continuation of the familial line. Privacy is really dependent on the group and the situation that group will be in.
NORILIS zione | Sun, 2012-08-12 14:24 |Honestly in my plans for post z-day there is not alot of room for privacy mostly because the greatest threat in a fortified position is that someone will not tell you something they feel is unimportant due to there sense of privacy, ie pregnancy, or they’re afraid of the outcome of telling you, ie open wounds/sores. Entering my compound means you will have to endure a complete strip down and inspection for ALL people EVERY time. I also plan to have regular inspections of the people to ensure health. on the subject of bathroom time I am more inclined to give them that as long as they do not waste water, ie 5 min showers once a week instead of 30 min showers twice a day. Finally on the subject of intercourse I think that as long as it is done in a responsible way then there should be no problem with it. I will work to make sure there is an available area so that others can know not to go there if it is in use.

< Penn> Conqueror of the great white north, Nori Of AlaskaDE | Sun, 2012-08-12 16:52 |Actually, I think its not the length of showering. If we just cover ourselves with some water, turn of the water, soap, then scrub, then only rinse all the dead skin cells its roughly the same amount of water.
Also depends on location. My parents house is very near to a river (~100meters). I think anyone can shower anytime they want as long as they carry their own water (except the ill). It may be a bit more dangerous, but maybe we can also bathe there. And shower only in their free time. Not like when everyone else are fighting zombies.
True, I agree with that point Nori. Full strip for inspections sounds important. Why take risks?
it may come or it may not. But its not just zeds that may ruin your life
WDLKD | Mon, 2012-08-13 07:07 |A strip search is only needed under certain situations. In a remote rural area there is more danger from raiders than zeds and probably not needed. The part about telling all medical conditions to the group is also probably not needed because the de facto leader is a doctor. I think any medical assistance he would give would come with some doctor/patient confidentiality as long as it didn’t effect the security of the group.
The issue of how much water can be used in cleaning is easily addressed in many ways without effecting privacy. Besides that, it also depends on where you are and what situation you are in.
