Alright. I'm good at making plans. Usually. I have wilderness first aid certification and all that, I'm a good driver, I know basic medical stuff that goes along with the first aid thing. The most I could so though is stitches or a splint. I'm a pretty good shot judging by the couple of time's I've shot a real gun, (better in paintball/airsoft due to the lack of recoil). I'm probably weaker than most of you guys physically, since I weigh like 110 pounds or something in that area. I can fly a plane. Don't have a license, but I have the hours I would need to get one, I just haven't gotten around to it.

Exactly what I was thinking. I AM moving on, but I'm still keeping her in the back of my mind and my heart. Is that wrong? Every time you have a meaningful relationship with someone, a bit of that will remain with you for the rest of your life, even if you've moved on completely. I don't know if you will ever end up being with her again, but, I've know a couple who went out in highschool, re-met 10 years later, and are getting married in a few weeks. You never know what will happen. There's nothing wrong with keeping her in your mind and heart, but if you get into a meaningful relationship with someone else sometime down the raod, it wouldn't be fair for you to be wishing it was her rather than the girl your with.

Zombies have no smell. In WWZ there's a blind japanese monk-type guy, who was able to survive without his sight, but he noticed zombies had no smell, since they repel bacteria, which is what causes rot.

Like shipyard. Sniping on that is impossible. I just use an m16 there. For times when I don't feel like sniping, I play as a stealth class, uav blocker, silencer, and sometimes dead silence. I once got my whole team to go stealth class on an 8v8 server. That was sweet, when the other team got a uav, no one appeared on their map so they were freaking out and shooting at everything that looked like it moved. Oh, the only other guns I use apart from silenced m16 or ak-47, is the ak-74u which works great for me on courtyard or whatever that map's called, and occasionally the g3 for close range sniping.
-
Yeah, I basically think of sort of generic riddle answers til I find one that fits, for logic riddles like this one, and think of all the possibilities and all that. When he said your answer was close I figured it out.
-
My most used guns will always be snipers. Or on occasion, a silenced ak-47 or m16.

[hide=]It's only one question, "If I were to ask the other which direction to go, what would they say?". You only need to ask one of them, because they would both give you the same answer, which would always be the wrong way. So whatever either of them tells you, you go the opposite way. Because the liar would lie and say the truth teller would tell you to go the wrong way (let's say the wrong way is the right fork) And the truthteller would say that the liar would tell you to go to the right No matter which one you ask, the answer will be the same, so you take the left.[/hide] I'm trying to think of a possible solution for the third riddle, but I can't think of any specific questions to ask.
-
Wow, that was almost depressing, somehow. Heh.
-
Ok I think I figured out the fork in the road one. [hide=]You ask either one of the two which road the other one would tell you to take if you asked them what the correct road was. Then you take the opposite road that they say. Because if the one that tells the truth is the one you ask, he will tell you that the liar would tell you take the wrong road (be it left or right). If you end up asking the liar, he will lie and tell you the truthteller would have you take the wrong road. I explained that badly I think. Let's say the right road is the wrong one, and the left is right. If you ask the truthteller which road the other would tell you to take, he would say the right road, since the other was a liar. If you ask the liar, he will lie and say the truthteller would tell you to take the right road. So you take the opposite road that they say.[/hide]

Smell, I can see being improved greatly, since we rarely use our sense of smell for anything other than either "extreme" smells, like a terrible smell, like a skunk, or something really good, like a meal you like, or subconscious smells, like perfumes that you barely notice, but your brain recognizes. I would think we would all smell pretty bad during the zombie apocalypse compared to how we smell now, since there wouldn't be regular showers or anything, probably. I can't see that making a difference, though, over a few hundred feet at most. Sight, probably the same as us, since we use sight predominantly. Hearing, this one depends on who the zombie was. Some people have good hearing, some don't. I would think this would be the most important of their senses other than sight. Touch is pretty much irrelevant. Unless we have something that vibrates the ground a lot, touch won't help them. Taste... not important.
-
I have pretty good senses, I guess. I can tell all my friends apart by the way they walk, by sound. But most people can do that I suppose. Like, my mom walks slowly and her feet are messed up so she sort of limps a bit. My dad walks heavily but slowly, he makes a lot of noise but it's not too fast. One of my brothers walks quickly and quietly compared to the others, and another walks similar way. My best friend walks really quietly for some reason or another, probably because of how light she is. Max brooks said that they don't increase their capabilities, but they use what capabilities they have better than humans, since they use all their senses equally, and presumably, to their highest capabilities.

Just saying to start things off, I doubt either of you love eachother. Who knows where your relationship goes, but love doesn't really happen after going out for a couple of weeks. Ok, advice: With your friend, you need to tell him to cut the [cabbage]. I know he's admitted to it already, but you need to just confront him about it, and tell him to lay off, tell him that some of the things he said hurt you. There's not much more you can do beyond that. It might come down to which you value more, your friend or your girlfriend. As for her mates, I wouldn't worry about it. Just tell them they can hang out with her when your with her (I know that they do, but saying they can might make it a bit easier for them to stay near her rather than feeling awkward) and they can always just hang out with her when you're not, aswell. I wouldn't worry about them too much.
-
Then why the [bleep] would you put something so controversial in your post? Trolling? Uh, slight humor? Chill out. Wow, it took me a few re-reads of that thing to find the asterisk, and than figure out what you were saying you didn't approve of. I need to stop skimming when I read.

At this point, in first world countries, I don't think human slavery is really possible. Too many activists, too many laws that would get in the way. Now, here's the real question. If we created thinking AI robots, andh ad them do all the hard labor jobs for us, but then they became self aware, would we keep them as slaves?
-
I imagine humans can detect smells from a good distance away, but we can't distinguish them, but zombie's brains are different, so that would make sense.

Ok, here's what I'm thinking. If we could manage it, for the first few months, divert some power away from the city and electrify the fence or get an electric fence. It would be a waste of power if we didn't have a temporary excess, but it couldn't hurt. Indy is right, zombies exactly like the WWZ ones would be impossible, barring some future technology that eliminates the need for food or something, but who knows, I could see a person with almost none of it's internal systems actually doing anything lasting for a decent amount of time without water or food. Who knows, they might even be smart enough to drink water. Anyways, on this stupid topic of video games, how's this. If we have both free time, and excess electricity, and all the stuff required to actually play, you can do so. If not, then no. I'd rather excess electricity go to video surveillance if we had the capabilities for that.
-
For the first few months, video games would be ok. That's how long the plant can generate power without new supplies being brought in. And considering there's enough power generated to cover 50,000 people, 1 console won't make a difference. After that though, unless we find an alternative way to generate power, (ie: solar) electronic entertainment would be minimal.
-
Killing zombies isn't too hard. They walk slow, don't take cover, and don't try to avoid "death". It's fairly simple to shoot them, and there's only so much shooting targets can do, and what it would mostly do is waste ammo.
-
You must have missed that whole Crusades thing. Then there's the whole 1000 years ago thing. Regardless of what religion caused it, that was a long time ago. I didn't specifiy this in my post, but I meant people would be forced to convert to christianity, and if they didn't they would be executed or imprisoned. The new converts would be treated like 2nd class citizens however, in all likelihood.
-
There would be time given for breaks, but not enough to allow people to go crazy due to lack of things to do. I imagine, aside from sleeping, everyone would have a few hours off every day atleast, unless there were serious pressing problems. Weapon training can only do so much. Power generation as you suggested would be a workout as well, so it's important enough that everyone should do it. One thing is, once we secure the area, and have a renewable source of food, we're going to have a lot of free time. We won't have much to entertain us though. I guess if we have electricity we can have movies, and maybe the occasional video game. Imagine this though. You're in the middle of the zombie apocalypse, you have electricity, and one of your only means of entertainment is an xbox. Then you get the red ring of death. Ouch.

Thing is, Christianity has so many denominations that I doubt any would be able to get enough of a majority for that to happen. If that could have happened it would have, I think :lol: Just means that it may be Christians fighting Christians and them being too busy to fight back against other faiths :lol: Though I can try to take out WBC early on... While there are lots of variations in Christianity, you never know what could happen. I imagine a similar situation would happen in the middle east, though there isn't as much religious variety there as here, and violence between the sects of islam would increase greatly I imagine with the right leader, and world situations America could become a religious state. It would require a zealous member to come to a position of power, and then have some huge threat to the country. Let's say a group of muslim extremists gained power, and gained control of several "threat" countries, an American leader could use that threat as a reason to establish a religious state gradually. Though, now that I think of it more, North America would be the safest area in a war like this. It's far enough from eurasia/africa that any large scale military assault from abroad would be difficult to impossible, and the latin american countries share similar religion demographics to the US and Canada. In the Us, around 78% of americans are christians in some form, 16% are atheists or agnostics, and the rest are "other". Here's what I think would happen. There would be a three or two way civil war. Protestants (50% of US) would be fighting against Roman catholics (25%ish) unless they could settle their differences. The non-believers would be fighting against them all. In the middle east, I think the sunni's would overpower the shi'a and all other smaller sects, and would then wage war with Israel, which would probably fall due to the fact that they would be hugely outnumbered. In asia, buddhists and confucianists/ "chinese traditionals" would be engaged in a civil war, while the hindus would be combating and spreading, due to the fact that their population is rather dense, and there is not very much religious variety. They might overtake the chinese, because hindus outnumber all but the non-religious, muslims, and christians. Those are my predictions

If a guy were to say something like that to me, I would probably just say "erm.... ok then" or something like that, but it could be handled a bit better. If you found the right opportunity, you might be able to say something along the lines of "bla bla bla, I always get nervous before I see you". My honest suggestion though is just not to worry about it. I spent some time learning the basics of meditation, and I can always use that to calm myself (unless it's something really big that happened). I'm sure there are some guides online that can help you learn the basics of that, it helps me, but who knows if it will work for you.

Form/join a guerrilla atheistic or agnostic group and hide out somewhere in the mountains. Full out religious war is impossible, simply because all religions are intertwined together. I work or go to school with people ranging from atheists or agnostics to Catholics, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Judaists, and so on. But if it were a long term escalation, where tensions grew and people moved into communities where only people of their religion were welcome, it could be possible. Either way, I imagine in America, if this ever were to happen, Christians who are the majority here, would be the ruling class, and would oppress all minority religions (plus atheism). I don't think it would be just like a Christian kills all other religions on sight, but all others are second class citizens or are banned from practicing their religion. Anyways, I'd use guerrilla warfare to fight the religious state.

Haaa, you just bumped it yourself. And when are you Mister Supreme Leader here? Sheesh. Get over it. Yeah, so? You know why so many legitimate rants are getting pushed down off the first page, whereas the first page is full of crappy, stupid threads like this? On the first page there are threads that almost ten days old. We don't need to worry about legitimate *active* threads being pushed down. Mage, regardless of how it should be, is the weakest on the triangle. Range can beat melee a lot of the time, with the best bolts and all, but they have to spend more than a meleer most of the time, since if you die you will only keep a few bolts if any. Mage is best used for hybriding. I had the most success pking back in the day by wearing mystic top, rune legs, dds, barrows gloves and other accessories, freezing them, then speccing them, and hoping they die. And if not, I retreat and use ice spells. I would also bring a whip if I felt like it, so I could do consistent melee damage. Course this was back before the wilderness removal.

Kid, honestly. By posting in this thread you're bringing it back to the top of the page, which is helping your so called "spam". Do you see anyone here spamming OMG JAGX RUIN RS! No. No one here has been acting immature or unreasonable, except for you. I already left runescape, maybe 6 months ago. And yeah, people did care when I left. Now stop spamming yourself, and grow up.
