You'd think that with such mutated/decaying bodies that they wouldn't have a very long life expectancy. Couldn't we just, in theory, set up a stronghold of some sort and then find a way to outlast them? If we could isolate ourselves in an area where the zombies would have trouble reaching then send up the necessary supplies at regular intervals perhaps we could simply outlive them. Then again their are so many ways that could go wrong...

Like i said earlier

cabellas makes a nice place bcase they have food, guns, ammo, hunting supplies (which includes bows and arrows), survival food (I think), fish and plenty of it, and clothes

that would make a great stonghold

My codename will be Gunther Penisstein, and I'll be a scout. I run pretty fast, and can imitate an annoying Brooklyn kid.

Hacker, Cabella's would be a great stronghold. Agreed. The only problem is getting the shopkeep to let us in, which shouldn't bear too much burden. "Dude, we're in this huge zombie attack together". If he's infected, you'd need a fast runner, like a Kenyan (JK), to grab a weapon and dispose of the infected.

I don't really know if I like that "multiple guards guarding multiple tents idea." If these are Left 4 Dead zombies, we definitely don't need anyone isolated; someone should be accompanied by at least one other person at all times. Heck, even if these are zombies in wheelchairs, we'd still need everyone to be accompanied at all times, just as a precaution.

Cabella's sounds like a great safehouse, although we'd need some kind of relay station so we could send signals to outside survivors.

N-Bob's idea of outliving them sounds like the best way to get rid of them altogether, because, well, without any zombies, no one else can get bitten and thus, no one else can get infected. However, that plan becomes useless if the virus is airborne; doesn't matter if the zombies are dead if someone can catch the virus just by breathing.

If we have to move around, always in groups of threes. Always.

Everyone carries either a machete or a crowbar for melee, preferably, the crowbar.

Yeah, that's all I got.

I still stand by everyone coming to Chilliwack if it's possible. We can hold up in my house, and it should be pretty easy to get around, whether or not there's zombies.

Canada will be gone within a week with your gun laws.

I say that once we get enough people we modify a car to become like an APC by taking chicken wire (or something stronger) and welding it over all the windows.

then we go and try to rescue our canadian members

Wouldn't it be wise to start as far north as possible while still in the USA?

Crowbars would be terrible weapons! Everyone carries a machete for melee and a crowbar for breaking shit. Can you imagine how easily a crowbar would get stuck in a zombies head? Then they fucking bite you and you're gone man!

Concerning the populated-city but good supplies vs. sparse countryside with no supplies thing?

This is dependent on whether or not zombies bleed-out. For instance, if zombies do NOT bleed-out, I'd rather have the ammo and supplies to last.

If they do bleed-out, countryside works. Here in good ol' Missouri, we have storm shelters. So, grab a shitload of supplies and hide out in the storm shelter until they all die of lack of food.

Then again, the storm shelter idea only works if they can't tear through metal. Neutral

Thay'd actually be decent in melee, but i was prefering them for the breaky stuff.

OXYMORON!

A good melee weapon would be something like an axe; the sharp side would be good for attacking zombies, the blunt side would be good for breaking stuff.

I would rather have a medium sized hatchet. Easy to swing with one hand but big enough that you can break stuff

Posted: Jun 14 2009 03:11 pm

you dont want a weapon that can get stuck in the zombies. you need a good slashing weapon like a katana or machete

I want a katana

and a machine gun

Necrobumping for a reason other than a pun:

The CDC has come up with a plan for such an event
I repeat,

http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp

Potential other concerns they may address include:
- Tsunami preparedness as C'thulhu wakes evacuation plan. You just can't mention the part about how nothing can stop C'thulhu; that might be dispiriting.
- Boating safety as instructions for surviving an undead pirate attack.
- Courtesy in libraries and movie theaters presented in the pamphlet, 'Ninjas Are Everywhere: How to Avoid Attracting Their Attention.'
- 'Do Not Litter' campaigns cast as advice for those 'you never know which object in your inventory will keep you from dying' adventure video games.

Yea, this is pretty fucking terrifying. Me thinks there's more to the "rapture" than some Jesus freak during that time of the month. Though the writer actually name dropping Resident Evil makes me wonder if this is a prank.

At least it's gaining some attention from higher ups, even if only from a joking view point.

Okay, here's the plan. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, y'all give me all y'all sandwiches and y'all guns, y'all. With most of the people I hate having been brutally murdered by y'all zombies, I'll finally be relaxed enough to write more, y'all. Y'all. Y'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.
