Strength in numbers

Or, the benefits of having a group.

Alright, alright; I've been gone for a while, and out of the Running game since I was just a kid. But I've got a few tricks of my own up my sleeve.

Let's start with the cons.

CONS:

• Harder to travel at speed
• Harder to keep up with supplies
  
• Harder to avoid being followed/found
• Harder to find a destination
• Possible to get into fights and hurt each other - beating yourselves down from the inside

The basic things you'd think of. If you have an injured groupie, the whole team will be slowed down (not that being injured on your own would be any faster). Some tough decisions might have to be made regarding basic survival. But in my opinion, even having a single partner is better than none - especially if they've got their own brand of survival. Having friends with you is even more helpful, since you'll get along well and be able to work together.

PROS:

• Easier to sleep at night, as you can take turns on watches
• Harder to go insane - you've got friends to calm you down
• Easier to defend yourselves - three baseball bats and two tasers is better than one switchblade
• Less vulnerable - even the least intelligent Indoctrinated will think twice before attacking a group of five, alone
• More things can get done - true, splitting up ruins the point, but, for example, in a city, some of the group can make camp while others go out and get supplies

For - for...for I don't even know what anymore, this was Nathaniel Crowley.

Seeking applicants

So we've got most of our topics well covered, especially the mystical aspects of keeping Slenders in check. Currently though, we are seeking dedicated writers for Runners, Science, and Combat. We'll consider anyone who wants to join the fight, but someone with experience in these topics would be beneficial to everyone. My goal here is to create a holistic site covering all the possible angles of surviving and thriving despite the interest of our enemy.

Runners
I would prefer someone who has some experience as a Runner or is a survivalist who can give practical suggestions on living "off the grid."

Science
As for science, I'd prefer someone who is not vehemently opposed to the idea of magic, just as I am not anti-science, but I'll take what I can get. At this time, we have many folks here with middling to expert status in regards to magic and mysticism with a passing familiarity in science (because our modern cultures are more or less science-saturated), but no one from the opposite end of the spectrum.

Combat
I would also like to see someone with combat or military training who can give tips to people on how to avoid or fight off proxies.

We can continue to cover these topics in the meantime, but someone with first hand experience would be preferable.
