Spoken like a typical POM. For most of us a firearm is just a tool. During Fall and winter I use a gun every day on the trap line. Spring and summer I use a gun for pest and predator control. At least for me a gun isn't a toy but a tool.My only beef with US prep/survival websites is that they're too gun-centred and seem to think owning a gun guarantees their survival in all situations, so as a result their brains turn to mush because they never use them, and I have to keep reminding them to fight with their brain first and their weapons second.
They banned me from Survivalist Board last week for saying stuff like that, I suppose they couldn't handle the fact that a limey was trying to tell them what to do..
Again just play time pictures. No details. Planning to fail.
What's a POM?
As for guns, we'll certainly need you at the Hall to deal with any predators that come snooping around..
Mate you live in a blue anti-Trump state with zero protection on the border, that's planning to fail..:

Articdude is a self reliant prepper, why in the world would he want to join the "Hall" group?
Ooooh can I join and drive the Hallmobile?
Of course mate, that's the fighting spirit we want..

The numbers (if any) the Hall group would provide would be more of a liability to Articdude, than an asset. One reason to maintain OPSEC is to prevent liabilities from showing up at your front door. From the information or lack there of, I doubt there would be a single member of this forum that would want to join the "Hall" group, other than ProudPrepper wanting to drive the "Hall" mobile (LMAO). I seriously doubt any member is going to want to rush out and join your little group of unprepared individuals.

Property of her Majesty. Learned it from one of my Britt friends when I worked for a Britt oil company.
Incidentally women will be welcome at the Hall too and can take up our powered hanglider on patrol if they're as good as Karen Black in 'Airport 75' who took over the controls of a jumbo after a midair collision knocked out the two pilots-..

Nope. I would pass. My family and I are doing just fine. And we live the homesteader life normally. We do the things every single day and already have the place and the stuff to do it.
No imaginary video gaming here.

yep same here.
maybe not the full homesteader thing but we are growing a lot of our own food and I have been "prepping" most of my adult life in one form or another.
and not computer gaming at 2.50AM would be a start for a newbie.
time to get priorities right.

online gaming?? yeah,sure,what ever...I'm talking tactical planning and organisation, not just trigger pulling..
I've been regularly beating firearms owners of all nations on the online computer wargaming circuit for the past 19 years..

I'm surprised you didn't know that Google has an image search feature.Here's the Doomsday Hall communal living room where we meet for chat, singsongs, board games, reminiscences and Elvis impressions etc in front of a roaring log fire-
BUSTED!

I've seen all these photos before on a UK site, including the "5 acre holding" and the country house, he used the name MICK on that forum but the photos and posts are an exact duplicate of those on the other forum. its definitely the same person, he talked about "war games" too.
I wasnt impressed then and I'm not impressed now.

I do some online gaming with friends, strictly for social entertainment and the very basics of knowing about Milsim.
I play airsoft for fun and group tactical skills, field communications, Milsim training. It has its real life benefits for survival.
Yeah, we knew that, now you went and ruined the fantasy!

Airsoft definitely has its benefits. Back during the Obama shortages, I had to use an Airsoft 1911 in the backyard to train for IDPA and Steel Challenge competition. Manual of arms was identical to a real 1911. Some of the parts were even interchangeable, and some were almost interchangeable (slightly different dimensions) I ran an IDPA stage using the airsoft 1911 once. (after the competition).
Let me spell it out again guys- Doomsday Hall does not exist..
It'll only exist after the apocalypse hits, when we go out into the countryside and move into a deserted country house.
Meanwhile we can discuss what it will look like, and pull pics off the net to serve as "models" like the communal living room one for discussion.
Incidentally if you look carefully at my pic, you'll see I photoshopped wooden panels on the windows for security, whereas the original "rustic" pic from the net didn't have any.
Adapt, improvise, overcome..

Yes, I know that. But you are talking about it as if it were a real place, and if someone didn't carefully read your OP, they would get the impression it's real. If you want to be taken seriously, you need to make it clear that this is all hypothetical and use appropriate language. Such as "Here's how I envision the Doomsday Hall communal living room where we could meet for chat..."Let me spell it out again guys- Doomsday Hall does not exist..
Actually I've been wargaming for over 40 years, firstly with figures and boardgames, then the past 19 with computers under my wargaming name 'PoorOldSpike'
I'm currently a mod at the Mission 4 Today forum and my posts there have had over 11 million views..
and i bounce around other forums too, strutting my stuff and teaching people how to stay alive in the wargame jungle-

Here's a vid of me, note the superbly confident body language that says "Apocalypse? Bring it on"..

Good for you mate..
