Something Zombie Related

[Icuownage]

Zombies don't die from the cold.

 

I live in a mid sized town, but no sort of preperation for zombies.

[Seraphi]

They get really, really slow, or frozen if it is cold enough, yeah.

 

Alaska is good. Away from civilisation, and cold enough that the maybe... one zombie a year? that you see will be of almost no threat.

[Retech]

Hooray, let's try to raise a civilization once again with a bad climate for crops and Sarah Palin as one tenth of the gene pool!

[The_Mather1]

Lol, now you begin trusting the effect of cold winters? How 'bout moving to Lofoten, very few people, very cold winters, lots of boats and lots of fish. And the specialization there is dried fish, so the food will stay edible. Perfect?

[Seraphi]

I'd prefer Alaska.

[Icuownage]

To New Zealand!

 

Or just ANY island which had some sort of civilisation on it, like one of the Greek islands. Doesn't matter, as the zombies wont keep coming after you killed most off the island.

[Nexaduro]

New Zealand would suck. EVERYTHING there can kill a human, if you were outside the cities zombies wouldn't be your greatest worry.

[Icuownage]

And Alaska is unforgiving....

[The_Mather1]

And Lofoten's empty... :thumbsup:

[The_Mather1]

You know that pine needles are rich in vitamin-C. They also can be brewed into tea.

[Jehosaphat]

I might be able to survive for a while, if only due to the massive rabbit population near my house, and the fact that I live near a forest.

 

And Mahter, you could brew the pine tea, but do you think you could drink it? I've had tea made with pine needles before, and it made me want to gag.

[The_Mather1]

My guts can take anything but beans... long story short, I used to like them but after an incident on a school trip I gag everytime I see something even resebling beans.

 

Also I tend to chew pine needles from time to time, they taste kind of bitter but work as mild painkillers.

[Nero]

A perfect man would enjoy the taste of beans.

[The_Mather1]

Well I did enjoy beans... until I had to change bed twice.

[Iconic]

Pine needles are not bitter but sour, or atleast they are over in England, or I'm wrong as I often am.

 

A zombie would freeze a lot faster than a human due to lack of blood circulation, they would essentially cease to move at 0 C, It reaches about -18 here so the zombies blood would freeze and turn them into statues.

 

Also, would it hurt to have a roleplay on this forum? I know that dungeoneering type games seem appealing but a roleplay could last without a moderator for... Well forever. One person plays all the zombies and the rest play the people.

If you die you make a new character, no competition element so people will be fairer.

[Earth]

well, there is a free game like that on steam.

[Seraphi]

Edel, Freeform roleplays tend to run out of steam kind of quickly here. The people are more game orientated (The tavern was made to cross games and RPing).

 

Besides, I think Dungeoneering style is better, since you actually get the benefit of seeing the character grow and become stronger.

 

When is this game starting anyway?

They are bitter with a slight sour taste, or maybe it depends on the tree, are you talking about scots pine or fir?

If you only eat rabbits you will die:

So the plan is...what?

We are dropped in a forest with a bunch of zombies?

[Earth]

funny vid, archi.

Suppose your right.

 

Didn't someone have an idea ages ago, I remember when I was reading through the forum. Everyone had stats and their was super tyrants and hive intelligence and that.

[Wisp]

It's two weeks after the evacuations started, that was the day everything went wrong. Telling 5 million panicked, angry, and scared people to leave a city is a disaster in of itself, but add a monster to the equation, and it becomes hell. Maybe some people are still alive in the city, maybe they're all dead. Or kind of dead. What matters now is that we're alive, and they haven't found us yet. But I know that we cannot stay here for long.
