mmmcannibalism Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Oil rigs are interesting, excluding accidents it would be a decent to good choice. Oil tanker was my original idea, posted back Zombie Jesus knows how long ago. It was still my plan until a few months ago. Think about it; out at sea, no zombies. You'd be accepted into pretty much every major port as long as they at least think you have oil on board in order to resupply. Crew is the only problem. how many people would it take to man an oil rig if we dont have to worry about actually having full tanks of oil? Orthodoxy is unconciousnessthe only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is normal people can't just go up and be the OTL out of nowhere. We need to learn how to keep the thing functional before setting up shop.

I wasn't thinking about actually keeping it running, just using it as free space. Think about it, these things are massive, and its in the sea, so you don't really need oil power, solar and wave power should really be enough. I was more thinking about using it as living space, able to sustain around 120 or so people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can keep it functional then we'll be the only people in the world producing oil!

das Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I can join the zombie party. I can shoot a bullseye for 250 feet with a riffle. But seriously. burn the zombies.

Guest Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Here's another thing I was thinking about earlier. The part that worries me the most about a zombie pandemic (or epidemic. could go either way) is the start. Before the mass media and all catches on and it starts making the news, if someone/something is stumbling towards you, you can't just pull out a pistol and shoot them in the head. There's a good chance they're not a zombie. So, here are some ways I thought of/stole from max brooks to tell. Flashlight/blink method: Back up a few steps, and wait. If it blinks, it's human. If it doesn't, it's not. Zombies don't blink. If it's dark, shine the light in it's eyes. If it's human, it would blink. Reflex test: Grab a long object, like a stick, or a chair, or something, and poke at it. If you lunge at a human with something, they're gonna try to block, or atleast move out of the way, almost definitely. Blood test: This is a last resort. Somehow cut it. If it bleeds, it's human. if it it's like a black goo, it's not. Use a marshmallow gun or something, seriously. Humans would at least flinch. Or fake throwing something at them, or just trying to talk to them. If they follow you and start moaning, bust out the .45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinking serves the purpose of keeping our eyes moist and clear of dust, so when they don't blink their eyes get destroyed. It also means their eyes will look weird after a while.

ProtoGuy Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I'm not sure I should have mentioned before, but I am a bit of a seasoned knife thrower, can stick a bullseye from 20 paces and still kill you from 50. I'm also not sure if I should throw this out there, but I can actually hit three targets in one throw, but only so long as I'm drunk :lol: Don't ask me how haha.

PlzPuddngPlz Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 What about natural disaster such as hurricanes? If one hits, we're screwed. Sig by me, in MS paint, but I'm still working on it.

Guest Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 What about natural disaster such as hurricanes? If one hits, we're screwed. The chances of that are slim, but we'd need to have a tornado shelter and seeing as we wouldn't be near the coast, hurricanes aren't a threat. Earthquakes could be disastorous, but it's not like the majority of us live in earthquake-proof homes. No doubt we'd have to move if our food supply was knocked out, though. Oh, another thing.

Knotch_Blade Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 We need to begin to concrete our plans... I think it unanimous that we need to be on a large-ish island. And the post w/ all the maps is a good looking isle. And I assume we'll pretty much be our own country, besides the fact of holding back a horde of zombies, how about forming a government/laws? I'll quite happily work in a our "nation"'s supreme (only) court. :D ~Knotch My Gamercard | Click for Blog | Mining Guide | Illumination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to make a TZDF user bar. Another thing about the place I posted about in detail before: No hurricanes, ever, the biggest earthquake you could get is barely enough to knock something a few inches off a shelf. Worst thing you have to worry about is blizzards, but, if you have a shelter and enough wood stored, or some other means of heating, you'd be fine. It's not like we'd be driving around in cars anyway, it would be too dangerous during the winter, since without plows and the like, the roads would be hell. But with snowshoes, or cross country skis, getting around wouldn't be hard. Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
