You're the Leader of A Survival Group in a Post-Apocalyptic World...

It can be whatever "post-apocalyptic" world you'd favor. Fall of society, zombie virus outbreak, natural disasters, alien invasion... you name it!

What basic rules and morals do you set in place for yourself/your group and why?

One of my top rules is KILL ALL ENEMIES. Never let the bad guy get away and form a following. I realize the ironic counter-productivity this could result in, but that's my rule. Death before forgiveness. Oops, I might actually be the bad guy. I get so irked when the characters in a series or movie have last minute second thoughts on finishing off the villain, and he comes back later with a loyal following to destroy shit. 😢

Another would be that everyone contributes. If you can't contribute or refuse to, you're outta here. Pretty basic.

So what happens when somebody puts in years of hard work for the colony but then becomes too old or sick to work anymore? Do they just get thrown out in the cold because they can't contribute?

@JP1119: Honestly, once you cannot contribute/function, you die. Not in such a crass and unforgiving way, though. In an apocalyptic event, there would be neither the means to care for you, nor the person(s) to administer your care. We can make it a beautiful sending, but you're a liability at that point.
