Hey Guys! So, judging by the title, you should know what this is.

So.. if you've seen The Walking Dead, you know there's small groups of survivors, and HORDES AND HORDES of zombies.

1. The Sanctuary ; Led by JaxenAmethyst / ME

One who wants to become the Advisor must show the Commander that they are fit for the role. Then ALL the Commanders will get together in a group PM in 1 MONTH and talk about who they think fits the role, and what traits they have shown to earn it, or what they did specifically to earn it.

GROUP RANKS:
LEADING POSITIONS
Commander(1)
Advisor(Second-in-Command) (1)
Enforcer(2)

SPECIALIZED ROLES
Communication Specialist+Student(1 Teacher, 1 Student)
Medical Specialist+Student(1 Teacher, 1 Student)
Weaponry Specialist(1 Teacher, 1 Student)

NON-COMBAT ROLES

Engineer/Mechanic(2-5)
Supply Manager(1-3)
Cook(3-5)
Bilingual(2-3)
Guide(2-3)

Agricultural Expert(5-6)
Teacher(2-4)

COMBAT ROLES
Lookout/Marksman(4-6)
Guard/Solder(6-8)
Hunter(4-6)

WHAT THESE POSITIONS ARE FOR
Commander
It may make them unpopular and possibly marked men, but commanders need to lay down the law and keep their nerve in stressful times. Commanders normally are the founders of the refuge or former military officers.
The lead position is something that can be easy to desire, but it is often unclear where the true power lies. An effective leader must have leadership aptitude, logistical planning skills and good interpersonal skills.

ADVISOR
Advisors are valuable in replacing the leader if neccesary. (Basically Mini-Commanders)

ENFORCER
Fear is a powerful tool, but can quickly turn against the Commander if misused. That said, a Commander must not be afraid to assassinate, or brutalize when necessary. Meaning, The Enforcers are for PUTTING DOWN THE LAW on those who don't listen.

COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST
Prior knowledge in communications can be valuable. These specialists would be constantly trying to contact any survivors or trying to see if any governing body, should one remain, be planning a rescue or a city "cleansing". They are also in charge of keeping track where the scouts are located and report to the community about upcoming events or emergencies.

MEDICAL SPECIALIST
In any society, the sick and injured need proper treatment. Everyone should know first aid and other life-saving techniques, but a professional would be preferred. Infections spread quickly to hospitals, and this profession may become scarce. Although one cannot afford to be picky, it is preferred to have medics.

WEAPONRY SPECIALIST
As bullets begin to run out and the focus leans on more traditional weaponry, a blacksmith, though rare in modern society, will be extremely useful in forging knives, spears and swords, as well as armor to further protect its people from dying at the hands of the living dead.

SCAVENGER/SCOUT
Good scavengers are quick, quiet, and observant, and are more useful in the city than in the country. They will need to know vital locations of their designated areas like shortcuts, choke points, dead ends, and more. Scouts and scavengers plan their routes to and from their destinations ahead of time, check buildings for supplies, get said supplies without being noticed as much as possible, look for other survivors, and come back to camp with goods for the fellow survivor.

ENGINEER/MECHANIC
An engineer keeps a well-organized group out of trouble. Engineers can fix and maintain generators, radios and vehicles.

SUPPLY MANAGER
When in a moderately large or larger group, people need to set up a form of rationing to save supplies. In this situation, it is best to take a Socialist approach in which all members are given the same rations if they are pulling their weight. This does not mean to refuse any supplies to a member who is unable to provide supplies or has had a run of bad luck, however. It is suggested that this is a side job for someone who is trustworthy and fair, as well as knowing simple math. These people could end up being some of the most important in a colony, as they can regulate how much people take.

COOK
Food is a necessity and cooks and chefs are the ones who prepare it for safe consumption. It is likely that ways of cooking, such as boiling or fire cooking, will be used, so deep frying and other methods of cooking that require now expensive luxuries will have little use. Good food, rare in an apocalypse, will also help raise morale.
Cooks also know what kind of food can keep everyone in shape and always have good condition, which everyone would welcome.

BILINGUAL
Being a Bilingual is an important role if a group traveling in foreign lands, where it is not clear if native survivors speak their language.

GUIDE
This is another important role in foreign lands. Knowledge of the land, environment, zombie population and potential hazards can prove essential.

SURVIVALIST
An important role if your team is in a rural area. An outdoors man has extensive knowledge in the outdoors and specializes in hunting, fishing, trapping, camping, general survival, and knowledge of weapon usage.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERT
Agricultural Experts, or Farmers know how to grow and manage crops and control livestock. They know the soil, what can grow, how much water it will need, and much more.

TEACHER
Now, more than ever, Children need to learn vital skills, and soon. Teachers can also act as babysitters. They also keep discipline among the children which is important since any noise they make will be heard by zombies or bandits.

LOOKOUT/MARKSMAN
Lookouts take to the highest point in the settlement and keep an eye on the surrounding area. Lookouts will need a light source at night, binoculars, and an alarm which they can use to alert everyone else, in case danger arises. If armed, which is highly advised, lookouts become marksmen and are their settlement's first line of defense. They can take out lone or small groups of zombies or bandits that approach the base. Their weapons are long range, with scope and suppressor attachments.

GUARD/SOLDIER
These guys should be strong so they can help keep the peace among the survivors. During non-conflict times, they will be the police force. If their settlement is attacked by bandits or zombies, they become foot soldiers. Make sure they know the law, enforce it and most of all, perform it effectively and fairly. Military combat arms personnel, combat veterans, and special response team personnel are excellent examples of individuals that can serve in this role.

HUNTER
These are more useful in the country than in the city, as they have a natural sense of the terrain. Hunting either zombies or whatever animals remain in the area, these can help keep the supplies coming in or threats such as feral animals under control. They can supply meats, furs, bones and help clear lone zombies from the area.

UPDATE

The Sanctuary Base:
https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/zombie/images/6/65/Mansion.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/400?cb=20100221025603

Questions I, The Sanctuary Commander, have thought about as PROs and CONs:

Can the Base be secured easily?
Yes. Because Mansions are usually already secured with strong stone, AND not many people could usually afford one, it was fairly easy to clean out and reinforce!

Is it an easily defendable location?
Yes. It's in a rural area.

Is it big enough to support the needs of you and your group?
Yes. It has several rooms to support ALL the different roles of my group.

Is the Location good for your survival plan?
Yes. I plan on having farmers, chefs, hunters, guards, marksman, etc.

Is the location far enough away from known major human/zombie activity?
Yes! It is in a rural area, therefore plenty of hundreds of miles away from any major zombie activity.



Those were the questions. Now--the Mansion has a fairly large attic, which is used as the classroom for teachers/babysitters and the students/babies. It has a large kitchen, living room, MAAAANY acres of land for hunting and farming, large, flat roof for marksman, and plenty of well-barricaded windows.
