WolfBoy989 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I grew up dead center of West Virginia, so I both know the area and am used to this sort of terrain. I can tell you right now that there's very low population density here, and more than enough wildlife to sustain a group if they have experienced hunters (I'm in West Virginia, deer capitol of the United States. Damn near everyone has some experience with hunting and/or firearms, and over half are good at it) and don't do anything stupid. Thanks to the proximity of some developed areas (east Virginia, D.C., NYC if we want a long trip) and abundance of ATVs and other offroad vehicles (Again, deer capitol of America), it shouldn't be too difficult to set up a wide territory if needed. The terrain is also very easily defensible (caves, mountains, waterfalls, etc.). The only real problems would be raiders and rednecks, if everyone works together with people who know their [cabbage]. Also, Buckhannon (nearby my area) is a college town AND it's not very densely populated. If we need something, we shouldn't have problems getting it there. Might still be somewhat dangerous, though. A ton fewer jackasses by percentage than out in the wilderness, though, so the only big problems are raiders and zombies (because of the weapon density of West Virginia, should be lower than normal for a while). Ok, so it seems West Virginia might be the ideal place to set up a base/ fort thing. :thumbup: [hide=]"If that dude over there throws that brick, I'll jump behind that trash can and hide" For example.Just like that XKCD comic, if anybody has seen it.A trash can has only a single exit and zero maneuverability within.

Riku3220 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 So what about survivors? Say we're moving along and we come across, whether they find us or we find them, a small group of survivors- a family, say.Do we let them join us? Turn them away? Kill them and rob of everything they've got in order to ensure our own survival? Check to see if infected. If so shoot in the head. If not take them with us provided they have skills/supplies to provide the Force with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well first we check if theyre infected... obviously. :roll: Then mayb if they're prepared and would somewhat help us then I would say let them join! But there might be complications that might cause us to turn them away or even kill them (infected, starving and unprepared, etc). or what Riku said...

Lenin64 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 That works, I suppose. I believe that every member of the TZDF should play Stubbs the Zombie; it's the slow, dumb zombies, and it puts you into the mind of one, know what drives it, and what actions humanity will really take to counteract the threat. Maybe Stubbs himself is a bit unrealistic for a zombie, but it still holds some valuable insight, especially the ending. Also, quit using that bloody :roll: smiley where it's not appropriate. That's all of you; there's 3 places on this page where it's used like that. Command the Murderous Chalices!

Lenin64 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 It's for the original Xbox. If you can't find a boxed copy anywhere-you'd really have to use amazon or something for that, no chance at all really of finding one in stores-then it's downloadable for the Xbox 360 in the marketplace.

sohkmj1 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 The plan - Befriend your nearest and biggest navy's highest ranking person. Use nuclear submarine for shelter when zombies arrive. Live on fish. Have spare parts. Farm underwater and live on that too. Destroy all zombies. Repopulate the world. (unrealistic but idc.) The glass for the submarine should be reinforced, and the forces in water is greatly reduced.... Oh and I'm really new to the zombie concept, so please don't flame me. Flaws in your plan; - Soon as an outbreak is detected all navy personel will be called in (same with the army, airforce and all other forms of military.) - Farming underwater? Very dificult, wold be easier to live on an island. - How close are you to a gun shop? If so have you already started stockpiling ammo that is common among rifles/pistols. Plus the government will become suspicious if you do start stockpiling thousands of bullets. As you read this thread more you should quickly grasp what the ideal plans will be for most situations. : "I'm stockpiling for a zombie invasion, sir" Damn. Guns are strictly outlawed here, no, not even shotguns. The closest we can get to a weapon are antique sabres and bow and arrows. I do suppose I could always just... sneak into an army encampment or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlzPuddngPlz Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Just out of curiosity, what are the signs that someone's been infected? Before they've actually become a zombie. In WWZ it states that caged dogs could be used, they go hyperactive. The caged is emboldened because "I think" it says that a few trainer's throats were ripped out. Sig by me, in MS paint, but I'm still working on it.

EGmaestro Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 meh thats a long [wagon] walk. there would be people alot closer to any zombies than me. and besides half moon bay is really nice. it would be worth it. or i could just find a cliff on the edge of the ocean.

Guest Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Well, if they can't controll where they go, then water is safer as opposed to land, however it can be difficult (at best) to watch underwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProtoGuy Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Well, if they can't controll where they go, then water is safer as opposed to land, however it can be difficult (at best) to watch underwater Set up cameras? It would be very possible to leep them self sufficient, just keep a glass dome around it to avoid any kind of water damage to the camera itself, even if it is water proof, it will still get wear and tear. But then to just power the transmitter and recording device, just install a water powered turbine to keep it going. : I like stir fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riku3220 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 This is so much speculation. In reality, nobody would have the time, skill, or resources to build a shelter like the one you guys describe. Here's what I'm going to do: -Get tons of supplies. -Chop down my stairs. -Sit and wait until I need more supplies. I would have a ladder out of one window for resupply missions. Alone?

Assume Nothing Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I can't see how a submarine wouldn't work, except for the fact it's damn hard to get hold of. The material of the submarine is metal, right? Zombies can't penetrate that, especially with the fact that forces are greatly reduced in water, waterbourne zombies will have a very tough time. Being nuclear powered, you can literally last months under the sea in total safety... it contains weapons too, so killing a zombie persuing you is no real threat. Supplies? Food? I think there is enough fishes to live on, not sure how to catch them but there can be workarounds, heat is just a biproduct of the running submarine, could be used to cook. Perhaps stockpile on dry food lol. The ONLY problem is really how to get hold of one, I suppose it can't be too hard to uhmmm, I have no idea how to get hold of one :oops: . I suppose a college would work too, but wouldn't there literally be hordes waiting for you? And the infrastructure of the college must weaken down over time, there will be too many fatalities imo. And using guns to kill them off must attract more, noisyness of a rifle = giant megaphone saying 'PLEASE EAT ME!' Sure, there are chemicals and books of knowledge, but what use are they when zombies are surrounding you? Alot of flaws in plans but it's not impossible to find workarounds, impractical, maybe, impossible, no. Oh, and as I said, I'm pretty new to the 'zombie invasion' concept, please don't flame me =/.

I do believe you need a crew of about 100 for a sub, all depends on the size. Another thing is knowing how to control the thing. Then we have to worry about things such as explosions (rather deadly in pressureised environments, even worse underwater,) raiders (forcing us upto the surface,) and the Navy confiscating the sub that we nicked off them. Semi-auto rifles = best for some zombie huntin' and if sound is an issue I have an idea on how to make a (crude) suppressor. Steam | PM me for BBM PIN Nine naked men is a technological achievement.
