I've been thinking about your comments, Strange Famous, and I think you're on to something interesting. I'm not sure that it fits within the rules of Tilted Weaponry, but it's interesting.
I think that it would depend on the culture. Look at Japan and Indonesia - after huge natural disasters, there were no reports of looting, vigilantes, etcs. The lights go out in New York City, and it's the end of the world. Same with New Orleans.
I'd have to say that it's situational - different cultures are going to respond to different threats differently. If the world ends with a lot of snow, I think there would be less violence since survivors would need to focus more on warmth and food than anything else. Take the need for warmth out of the equation, and that leaves energy to be spent on fighting whatever remaining neighbors there are. Of course a culture that focuses more on the group than the individual would have different results - at least in my mind.
We'll have to see where this goes, and this may get split into a separate thread elsewhere.
