Zombie Plans-Revised

[Seraphi]

They don't reproduce, so there is no chance of resistance being developed.

 

They use the human body, so unless that body is resistant to the cold, the zombie wont be either.

[Earth]

exactly.. now, does a third person wanna do dungeoneering? im bored..

[The_Mather1]

Won't the parasites freeze to death?

Also, heard of a fireplace?

 

And if you're properly dressed then -20-30 isn't that bad.

Good luck getting firewood. Or food. And yeah, it is. And it's a virus.

[Seraphi]

Basically, zombies probably wont be a problem if you're in an area where that is the average temperature, since there wont be many people in the first place.

 

Probably since the risk of death by hypothermia is so high.

 

What I'm basically saying is that going to said area is stupid, even in a zombie apocalypse.

Hex, another huge disadvantage of a boat is it takes one decent storm to flip and capsize you. Unless, you have a huge boat, or a rescue boat, which are designed to be nearly impossible to flip, and when they do, they do a barrel roll, and correct themselves...I'm now sure how everyone onboard would do, though. But those boats would take more then one person to maintain. I know this - my dad's in the coast guard (canadian) and I have been aboard the boat many times. Often, it takes 2 people to drive, one to keep lookout, and one to be ready to make repairs in a moments notice. Nevermind the pirates which will surely exist. Do you have a boating license? (Just curious.)

 

In other words, getting ahold of a decent boat and maintaining it would be very hard for a very trained person, nevermind the avarage civilian.

Doesn't the virus mutate into a parasite in your brain?

 

If the outbreak happens during winter then Norway will be safe.

 

I've got a wood shed behind my house.

[Seraphi]

Mather, if Where you live drops to -20/-30, and it is still a populated area, then you're even more screwed. The power and water will inevitably be out, and you wont be able to get any from rivers/streams since it will be frozen. Plus, since the decay is much lower, the zombies will be around until you are out of food.

 

 

 

Virus stays as a virus.

[The_Mather1]

Water's not out during winter.

Ice can be easily broken.

Doesn't snow stop the zombies?

The zombie survival guide said the virus creates a parasitic "organ" in one's frontal lobe.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

And food will be nearly impossible to find.

[Seraphi]

Not really, that is just where the virus is most concentrated.

 

The water will be out during a zombie apocalypse, and having frozen rivers will make things much more difficult.

 

Snow would do as much to impede you as it would impede the zombies.

 

Essentially, it's not a good plan.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Yeah. There are plenty of areas where there won't be zombies where you won't freeze.

[The_Mather1]

Only difference is that I'm used to traversing snow, the zombies are not.

 

A frozen creek is easy to break open, having one 50m away is usefull.

 

Most viruses and bacteria are weak to the cold.

 

Also, are you telling me that if this happens during winter then I should flee south, out of Norway?

[Earth]

until they gather enough recources (bodies) to make themselves invulnerable to cold. not a good idea.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Mather, the snow will impede you more then the zombies. Definatly.

[Seraphi]

until they gather enough recources (bodies) to make themselves invulnerable to cold. not a good idea.

They will not gain invulnerability to the cold. They have no blood flow, or body heat.

 

I have no idea where you are getting this from.

[The_Mather1]

So shuffling through snow is better than a lifetime of experience?

 

Try not to teach me how the Norwegian winter is bad for Norwegians.

[Earth]

dude, im not saying invuln to the cold. i meant to say resitance. i dont do grammar and spelling well. sorry.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Norwegian winter is even worse when plumbing and electricty don't work.

[Seraphi]

Earth, why don't you try reading what I said before.

 

THEY WILL NOT GAIN RESISTANCE TO THE COLD SINCE THEY DO NOT REPRODUCE, THEREFORE, EVOLUTION CANNOT TAKE EFFECT.

[Earth]

may i ask, mather. why you not looking at the overlording thread? i thought you liked that game... also, DEAR GOD MAN. i didnt say that. i said they could.

[VEGHATERMEATLOVER]

However mutation can take effect, especially in virus's and bacteria.

Still, they won't gain resistance to the cold.

[Seraphi]

Pretty much. The chances of the virus mutating the ability to give it's host resistance to the cold would be next to nil.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Oh. Hex, this is what I was talking about earlier regarding nervousness and close combat.

 

RANGE VERSUS ACCURACY

Studies have shown that, given the trauma of battle. the closer a

human is to a zombie. the wilder his shooting will be. When practicing

with your firearm(s). establish a maximum range for repeated

accuracy. Practice against moving targets in ideal (stress-free) conditions.

Once that range is fixed. divide it by half. This will be your effective

kill zone during an actual attack. Make sure the undead do not

move closer than this zone. as your accuracy will erode. If engaging

a group. make sure to hit those that enter the zone first before dispatching

the others. Do not discount this advice no matter what your

previous experience has been. Street-hardened police officers. decorated

combat veterans. even -cold-blooded" murderers have ended

up as well-chewed meat because they believed in their "nerves" and

not their training.

[The_Mather1]

You keep saying to me that they survive better in the cold than we do, but to Earth you say the opposite...
