Zombie Plans-Revised

[Wisp]

Fire can be used, if there is excess fuel, or fuel that is otherwise unusable, for burning bodies. Or if we make a trench, and have a fireproof wall (stone, or metal) around our base, and there are lots of zombies down there, we can torch them. Those are the main times we would do it.

 

If we have a lot of growing space, lenins idea for fuel might not be terrible.

Sounds like a plan, I always knew booze and flamethrowers would one day save the world by a bunch of nerds. n_n

Home-made hydraulic or air-canister power-armor.

 

 

 

Would steady aim if you chose to lock joints, and could be used for heavy lifting.

 

 

 

And if you ever did run out of bullets--you could smash in some rotting zombie skulls.

 

Iron man without the flying?

 

Awsome.

 

Would it be feasable to create such armour?

 

Doubtful, but it may be possible. :

[EdgedThesis]

There are some parts of the world where they just have competitions for the strongest power armor created. Amateurs with junk lying around join.

 

 

 

I'm sure it's feasible.

 

 

 

It's not iron-man strong, but can help lift a decent load. And joint-locking steadies aim by removing the shaking common in human flesh. Why not just place all the stress on plastic and packets of water or air?

 

 

 

Also, it's called power armor. Automatically cool-- am I right?

No. It is going to require power, and lots of it. How shall we get anough power for such armour? and there has to be enough power for each person to last them aslong as there is a zombie outbreak, which could be decades at worst case.

Exhaustion would also become a danger. Why carry an extra 45 pounds or so of equipment? Bullet proof clothing (protecting limbs too), as I said, is the best way to go. And aquiring that much power amour would be difficiult in a time of panic, too.

[EdgedThesis]

Only enough power is needed to detect motion and allow flow of air or water between the suit's segments.

 

Wouldn't weigh you down much at all--it's supposed to amplify your movements and actually make it easier for you to move.

 

 

 

Like I've said, people are building their own.

 

 

 

During a zombie apocalypse, I intend to be fully tricked out. That's right-- power armor, hydrogen peroxide jetpack (going rate today is 100,000 dollars) with spare fuel, and guns.

Well when you run out of power and are rendered immobile, I'm stealing your fuel for my own purposes.

I call getting his guns.

[EdgedThesis]

Oh, I won't be running out of anything.

 

 

 

You think a jetpack and armor is going to be used to protect myself from ambling zombies? Oh, no sir. I'm coming for you.

 

Plenty of fuel and batteries there.

 

 

 

Nah I'm just playing.

 

 

 

Though, I want the first portion of my zombie battles to be like a cross between Fallout 3 and Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. After that's over and done with I'll go over to your 'reasonable' side and adopt your tactics.

I admit, the idea of being surrounded by 100 zombies, then just flying away with jetpacks is kind of hawt, but where are you going to get them during a zombie-apocylspe? Nevermind how difficult they would be to pilot.

 

 

 

PS: I call his food supply and ammo. Isn't it funny how un-faithful we are?

[Wisp]

You know what will protect you just as well as a power suit? You know what will be about 10 thousand times easier to do? You know what won't be impossible to fuel? You know what will kill an equal number of zombies?

 

Sitting in a tree, with a rifle.

 

It would take you months and months to build a power suit if there was no war. If you even have the technical ability to make one. Now, with war, it's not like you can go order a few washers of the right size of amazon, or go into town to by some metal sheeting. Your in a small fortified area, a house, if your lucky, as that might have some supplies, or in an area where there would be nothing. It would be impossible.

What if you run out of bullets and have 20 zombies waiting below?

Brainstorm! Just build a platform about 15 feet tall, give it really big surface area, and viola, a place to ride out the apocalypse. If zombies can't climb a tree, no way they can climb handhold-less support beams. And if you just don't kill them, they can't make a big zombie body pile to get up to our level.

Or you could dangle explosives above their head using rope and detonating it, the shrapnel will mostly hit their heads.

[Wisp]

20 zombies below? Easy. Go to the longest branch that's low enough that you can land safely. Run across it away from the tree as far as you can, then jump, and role. You will have easily cleared the zombies. Then run. And, if you have a crowbar, you could bash their heads in while staying out of reach.

 

 

 

I was playing humans vs. zombies (If you don't know how to play, this is how it works. Get like 70 people. All the humans have nerf guns/rolled up socks. One person is randomly picked (secretly, no one else is told) to be the original zombie. The OZ (original zombie) tags humans who are hiding all around a campus/town. Once a human is tagged, in an hour they put a bandanna around their head or neck, and become a zombie. If any zombie tags a human, the human will become a zombie in and hour.

 

Humans can't kill zombies, but can shoot them with nerf guns or throw rolled up socks at them to stun them for 15 minutes.

 

Zombies starve if they don't feed for 2 days, humans win if all the zombies starve. Zombies win when there are no more humans. Games last about a week usually. Crazy amounts of fun) Anyway, back to my story. I was in a tree, hiding, around 10 zombies were surrounding tree, no one wanted to climb up because I could easily stun them. I did the thing I said, and escaped. And if that works on 10, intelligent, RUNNING humans, it would work on zombies.

I'm so doing that!

 

Might get some people to walk around filming it to see how it goes.

[Manafi]

That sounds like so much fun.

Finally, something to do duiring the summer holidays.

 

 

 

On a more serious note, wouldn't the zombies just congregage beneath you, so when you climbed out on the branch they'd follow you below. (sorry if it's not very well explained).

For people interested on humans vs zombies,

 

http://vimeo.com/1956330

 

There's a 50 minute or so documentary of a goucher college game, the college that first made up HvZ. Really fun to watch.

 

And here's the official website:

 

http://humansvszombies.org/

 

 

 

For anyone who wants to try playing, and needs a nerf gun, if you're willing to invest like 50 bucks, I reccomend the following setup:

 

Nerf longshot: Primary

 

Nerf Maverick: Secondary

 

Nerf Nitefinder: Long range pistol

 

 

 

I modded my longshot by removing the air restrictors and adding another spring to more than double it' range. It's also clip fed which is nice.

 

The maverick pistol holds six darts, is a revolver and its a pretty good sidearm

 

The nitefinder is really easy to modify, and shoots really far with little work put into it.

It's going to hit you either way, and possibly knock you out of the tree.
