Survivors, we interrupt your regularly scheduled
programming for an urgent WBN 404 AM breaking
news report. If you thought the Wasteland was
lawless, if you believed that survival was only
about resilience, adaptation, and sheer dumb
luck, you were wrong. The apocalypse may have
erased governments, economies, and sanity itself,
but somehow, HOA regulations have endured, and
they are coming for you. The Bunker and Ruins
Beautification League, or BRBL, claims to preserve
civilization's legacy. And let's translate that
into reality. They've decided that survival requires
aesthetic cohesion. That's right. They say the
ruins are in disarray, bunkers lack proper zoning,
and unplanned fortifications disrupt community
harmony. And now, they have inspectors enforcing
their nonsense, issuing fines, and dictating
how survival must look. Their inspectors are
real, their fines are excessive, and their guidelines
make absolutely no sense whatsoever. No bunker
is safe. No scavenger hoard goes unjudged. Compliance
is mandatory, according to them. We have confirmed
reports of random HOA citation sweeps. Revivers
have been fined for, brace yourself, unauthorized
rest patterns. That's right. Your bunker isn't
resting correctly. Defenses have been flagged
for non -standard fortifications because apparently
spike walls are unwelcoming. And now, they are
demanding the settlement supply for zoning approval
because fortifications must match existing wasteland
architecture. I mean, what does that even mean?
The existing architecture is literal rubble.
But it gets worse. Rumors are swirling that survivors
who fail compliance inspections are disappearing.
What happens to them? We don't know. Are they
exiled? Re -educated in HOA -approved survival
techniques? Duck taped to an aesthetically pleasing
bunker wall? The truth remains elusive. Of course,
not everyone is taking this nonsense lying down.
Some factions have refused to acknowledge HOA
jurisdiction over post -apocalyptic ruins, declaring
the BRBL an enemy of common sense. But others,
they try to comply. and suddenly find fines multiplying
for non -compliance in spirit. Whatever that
means. You try to fix your bunker? Well, violation
notice. You adjusted your scrap hoard to avoid
fines? Well, reassessment is required. And you
question the inspector? Well, immediate penalty.
And, for the poor mutant zombies already rejected
by society, they have now been rejected by the
BRBL's compliance office. Reports confirm HOA
inspectors issuing citation notices to wandering
undead citing unauthorized decay patterns and
failure to maintain aesthetic uniformity. Some
mutants have been tagged for removal while others
face mandatory beautification procedures because
apparently the HOA has a vision for post -apocalypse
zombie presentation. But there may be hope yet.
Sources indicate Pleasant Valley Estates HOA
is preparing a counteroffensive. An HOA versus
HOA showdown is imminent and exciting. So survivors,
stay sharp. The BRBL is watching.
