Don't use a gun man, it just makes noise and would attract more zombies...use something with a silencer or use bows or cross-bows.

those take too long to reload, and when you are surrounded by 5 zombies you can't ask them to back up so you have room to shoot arrows at them.

Just watch me :twss:

 

 

 

Use a silenced automatic. That there is a win.

 

 

 

a silencer on an automatic has a tendency to cause weapon problems.

 

 

 

katana+ak47 is what Id aim for.

Noise would actually be a plus. Considering it's unlikely that all of humanity will die or be zombified in the case of such an infection, survivors would likely congregate towards each other and form large groups. They could find you.

I wanna say you play to many zombie games or watch too many zombie movies...but meh.

Um. Okay. I'll just go study zombies at college, like normal people do? It's also my thought process. I have nothing better to do, so why not plan for zombies?

Depends on the scenario. Slow moving + brain controlled + motivated to spawn by bite, this scenario is easy. Lets say for some reason at the same time around the world all the dead come back to life. Using 2006 statistics around 1 out of every 100 people died in that year. We already vastly outnumber the dead, even if nobody did anything with those bodies all year. But they do, they get buried. From the time a person dies to the time they come to me to bury (I work in a cemetery for those that don't know) is about 3 days. That means on any given day the amount of dead people to live people ratio is 1 to 12,000. Once they are buried they are NOT going to be able to claw out of the ground. The likelihood of them being able to break through the casket is small, then they have to contend with a 2 inch thick concrete box with almost a ton of dirt on it.

 

 

 

So what do I do when the zombies rise? Sit in my house and watch the news. People will figure out what is happening quickly enough, the confusion will have died down within days with the main casualties being people in the death business (I"m hoping I don't have any funerals the week this happens :D ). There will still be zombies around but most modern countries will be able to deal with it easily within a few weeks, and have plans set up for new dead people disposal techniques (in the case of people dieing from natural causes also coming back as zombies after z-day). At a rate of 12,000 living to 1 unliving, even if it ultimately kills a few people the living still outnumber the dead drastically. Yes there is an exponential increase at the beginning, but if you see a dead person shuffling towards you most people will run, not many will die at the beginning. Then after that they know what's up and the zombie-deaths will be down to almost nothing.

that is a creepy level of analysis

 

 

 

what about if the virus broke out in a contained area and we started with a giant amount of zombies, say the virus is dispersed at a football game and everyone transforms over the next 3 days?

Even worse scenario: What if people are infected at an airport?

Exactly what I was thinking

 

 

 

Worst scenario: What if they infected an important/huge water source?

 

 

 

we go back to drinking only beer like the colonists in america :lol:

Hm, there's an idea. If there were a zombie virus developed by evil scientists, and they deposited it in, say, the Ogallala Aquifer (most of the central United States draws its water from there, ergo all the farms, ergo all the vegetables, cotton, and meat), most of the world would be [bleep]ed.

A good read, if you can spare the time.

kuro5hin - now that's a site I haven't seen in probably 6 years.

Will finish your RL L4D group for food.

1) put my ipod on

 

2) get a shotgun

 

3) get up close and blow some zombie brains out

 

 

 

:thumbsup:

There are a lot of zombie-like scenarios (like 28 Days Later...) in which humanity is pretty much screwed. But with the general slow moving zombie like from Night of the Dead 99% of people wouldn't be affected in any way.

1) put my ipod on

 

2) get a shotgun

:thumbsup:

 

 

 

 

 

Now THAT is a plan lmao. I'm with you man!

what? zombies? awsome, I finally get a chance to use this katana, instead of it just being decorative...

 

so yeah, play some loud heavy metal music, and hack my way to freedom. or just stand there killing 'em all.

 

 

 

funny how many people actually have katanas...

Helicopters. Lots of helicopters. Some offshore oil rigs would be nice, too. Boats as well.

 

 

 

From what most zombie games portray they cant fly (obvoiusly) and they cant swim.

 

 

 

Score 1 for the humans.
