Eek! Zombie attack! The slow stupid ones i mean ;)
What do you do!
A: Short term.
B: Long term!

Short term: Watch Shaun of the Dead in my locked basement with food in it.
Long term: Watch Shaun of the Dead and you'll see there'll be no long term!

Short term.
run down to my best friends house, my gfs house, and his gfs house.
Get weapons.
Move to an island somewhere.
Failing that, get enough food for a year and srow own food in barricaded garden.

Short term : Lock myself in a room and cry for about an hour. Rock myself to sleep, eat, repeat.
Long term : After about five days of short term, my room being filled with feces and what not, I'd have to venture out. In which I'll probably be bitten and eatten alive.

Short term: Gather munitions
Long Term: Become a traveling mercenary assisting towns or militias for a profit. Pfft anyone who wouldnt become a mercenary in this situation is a noob.

Short term.
run down to my best friends house, my gfs house, and his gfs house.
Get weapons.
Move to an island somewhere.
Failing that, get enough food for a year and grow own food in barricaded garden.
Thyat's exactly what I'd do. Except for the run to my best mate's house. I'd just run to my g/f's and his g/fs house.
What can I say? I'm greedy.

make a barricade then go out on a zombie hunt. (barracade would be a guns n ammo store) always good to have an alamo.

It's this situation of why I need to get a double barrel sawed-off stagecoach shotgun...Doom2 style :D

...It is my excuse to get one anyway

I choose milita:mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :sniper: :sniper:

Well if they're the slow kind, like in Shaun of the Dead... ahhh good times... *stares off into the distance*

Anyway, back to the topic. If they're slow, then I'd go all ninj4! on them. Whoo! Swords and chopsticks are my weapons.

id go 4 the island

It's this situation of why I need to get a double barrel sawed-off stagecoach shotgun...Doom2 style :D

...It is my excuse to get one anyway

Mt-Tau, I like the way you and Minoriteeburg think! :)

My problem is that with barricades is that it surrenders the 2 main advantages we have over the zombies, that we're faster when awake and that we're smarter. (I *hope*! ^_^; ). The other problem is that while where I live is nice and comfortable there's just no way either it or the other houses could keep out a determined home burglar even when barricaded, let alone a zombie. There's a distinct limit to what can be done with even an 8 hour lead time (Which is more than I'm assuming I'd actually get). 3rd problem: The longer the necessary counterattack is delayed the worst the problem becomes and the more viable human wave tactics and a reliance on blundering luck become for *their* side. Sooo...

Shortterm: Shovel, chemistry book, grenades (Molotovs count as such) and 2 handed sword if I get the chance (Leaves you open to a counterattack if the opponent's agile since it takes time to ready again but zombies seldon win the gymnastic awards! :D ). Rely on finding good hideyholes by night in which to stash and moving quicker than they do in both attack and retreat by day. Dig a few choice pits and trenches by day since Zombies aren't notable rocket scientists and under the right circumstances might be suckers for such things. Good spot for stashing those I care about might be the top of a reasonably high apartment building (7 stories or more preferred) and disable the elevator (Although here I may be overcautious in assuming they'd have a human necromancer with them) thus forcing them to go up stairways to get at my dependents. High ground tends to win in war even against humans of equal agility, let alone clumsy zombies and narrow stairways cancel out their numbers advantage if my friends play it right. 1 rule of engagement: DO *____NOT____* MELEE WITH THEM WHEN RANGED ATTACKS ARE AN OPTION! Another principle of combat is that the side with the most effective range attacks wins and since zombies aren't noted for their missile skills engaging them in melee when you don't have to just throws away yet another advantage. I would also encourage targeting of their legs since there's a limit to how damage a limb can take and still be functional (I'm assuming they don't regenerate like trolls :eek: ). Pragmatically a zombie who has to crawl after you is even slower than a zombie who can lurch after you.

Midterm: The existance of zombies implies the existance of magic. Time to pillage bookstores and libraries or else beg/trade from them where practical. I'd love to handle that part of it myself but there's too many of my idiot friends I wouldn't trust not to go and get their stupid selves killed and zombified if I let *them* handle the frontline fighting so they're ones who get to handle the necessary research when it comes to developing spellpower for our side (Lucky them! Sniff. :( ). That's necessary because...

Longterm: Zombies also imply necromancer! Find him and ice him before he reaches the critical mass where's he's unstoppable. The fact that he only gets 1D4 hit points per level as a rule should help. The sooner this is done the better but if things have gone too long hopefully the midterm development supplies us with the necessary means to even the odds. The fact that zombies aren't the brightest bulbs in the lamp means that he'd have to be where the critical action is anywhere and that should make him easy to locate. Whether I'd bother with shorterm/midterm or make a desperate attempt to go into endgame would depend on whether I did have time to collect friends and loved ones or whether I was the only one to survive the original wave. ^_^;;;

Cricket bat in one hand, shovel in the other.

Guns are for wusses...

Then get bitten and go on a human eating spree.

Mr. Chuck Noriss only needs camoflage paints and a pair of machetees and he will dispatch infinite amounts of zombies, and anyone who resembles a zombie especially children dressed up as zombies and there parents, pets, friends and relatives... Chuck Noriss will not tolerate zombie posers in any form.

Short Term: Go on a shooting spree baby!

Long Term: There is no long term, I'm going to go out in a blaze of glory with my shooting spree. *nod*

Zombie survival plan.
1) secure vehicle.
2) gather friends and family
3) secure Guns, ammo, weapons, heck, gardening tools if necessary as well as radios and spare batteries.
4) then gather more vehicles.
5) fill vehicles with food, water, first-aid kits, survival books
6a) if on a landlock state, and no quick way out, secure building.
6b) if quick way out is available i.e. Airplane with pilot, then take it.
6c) if not on landlock state, and quick way out is available. i.e. boat. take it... heck, take 2, find Island. turn that into paradise.

while gathering stuff... do not forget simple weapons like bows, swords, axes, machette's as well as sharpening stones.

Rule of thumb. ammo is good. mow them down and secure more ammo.
Do not use guns as melee weapons, do not use Melee weapons as Ranged weapons.

Eek! Zombie attack! The slow stupid ones i mean ;)
What do you do!
A: Short term.
B: Long term!

burn the dirty shits....molotov cocktails..then have a cocktail.

burn the dirty shits....molotov cocktails..then have a cocktail.
you fool do you know how long it takes for a corpse to burn let alone a moving reanimated one the entire area would be incinerated where would you go. Look in a zombie attack you go everywhere by bike as its quiet so you wont alert them. you carry only the essentials (food water weapons,) stay in a group of less than ten and head for the nearest prison the walls will give you protection the grounds agriculture and there will be a generator for when the grid goes down. the prisoners will most probably have been released as the attack will be seen as armageddon so you'll be quite safe here. after that then you go hunting.:mp5: :D

So many plans - when U could just join the thirst for brains and become one - well....now u know what a weak little man I am - but when the zombies come; I'll be happy to tear out your jugular to save you the pain of resistance

Um....DO WHATEVER I CAN DO TO SURVIVE? That's pretty much human instinct and what most would actually do if it actually occured....self-preservation.

Lets say you run out of food.

Can you eat zombie corpses?
Or is that somehow forbidden or never done before?

I think one of the most important purchases/lootings is a thick outfit to resist zombie bites. Maybe denim or thick leather. And including some neck protection like a gorget or a stock. OOh maybe it's worthwhile joining a reenactment society so you have a suit of armour standing around just in case. It won't help you if you're surrounded 'cos they'll literally tear you limb from limb, but it might save your life when one pops out behind you and tries to take a bite out of you.

what made the zomdies that what like to know

The existance of zombies implies the existance of magic.



What about t-virus zombies??? Scientific zombies is what's hip now-a-days.

Anyway, I say create a militia to defend the area. Heading towards your nearest army barracks/police station (army barracks preferably :sniper: :D) would probably be a good idea. Failing that, get on a boat. Make sure it's wind/oar powered, because you'll run out of fuel sooner or later. If you can't find an island you can always make raids onto the mainland to food and stuff. Like Vikings :D

ps. BEWARE the reanimated corpse of Chuck Norris.

well i would get some flame throwers preferbly robot operated set them up outside my house round the sides out the back front etc. sep up some cameras and then get family,friends etc. lock myself in the house weld doors shut and stick it out to some hero finds a way to kill them and then emerge unscathed (note there are bars on all of my houses windows and deadbolts/locks on every outside door and a gate at the front door with a deadbolt) goodnight

are the t-virus like to kill :mp5: :mp5: the makers if they not the walking dead

Lets say you run out of food.

Can you eat zombie corpses?
Or is that somehow forbidden or never done before?
that is a very bad idea according to the zombie survivak guide by max brooks a zombie is formed by the virus solanum and that ingestion of contaminated meat is always fatal. Your best bet as a source of food would be to hole up in a rural stronghold and suside off prestocked canned goods and your own agriculture. remember be vigilant.:sniper:

thats a lot of work you would find it easier to stock upstairs with food water and weapons then demolish the staircase zombies lacking intellegence would never know you were there if you kept the noise down.

Anyway, I say create a militia to defend the area. Heading towards your nearest army barracks/police station
no never a police station thats where the zombies head for cos thats where most of the food goes to (also avoid churches as loads of people head there too) my advice is to head to a prison or a rural stronghold.

burn the dirty shits....molotov cocktails..then have a cocktail.

i like burning infidels...and especially zombies....

did i not mention my arsenal...just for this happy occasion?

gives me an excuse to be an ugly american,and use the thousands of rounds of 7.62 i stored just for this occasion!

i musta masturbated a hundred times for this exact scenario...lol...jk..i will be like my euro brothers,,,,ask nannny state to help me..please help me!
i am so afraid and helpless....please come help me....where are you?????oh your taking care of your own...figures...ok mister zombie..if i give you welfare..will you go away and bite someone elses head off?...please..i did say please!

no i think i will break out my guns...blast the zombies into heaven....or failing the fact i have over 9000 rounds of ammo...just beat the shit outta them with a bat...and if that fails...molotov's are wicked fun...or just run them over with my gas guzzling suv....you know us crazy americans.....always prepared for any possible scenario..

failing that...my thousands of rounds of ammo,and my compunction to kill(since i am an american)i would devolve to my hideout,and initiate the trigger mechanism on my own nucleur bomb...you know us crazy fuckin cowboy americans all have bombs...like the jews...and wait till the exact moment..so i could do a doctor strangelove on the zombie horde( read...palastinians)(no different then commies)and yell woohoo as i pull the trigger and kill myself with the zombie/palistinaian/hordes...and at the least pollute the shit out of canada)

then i will go to my christian god..knowing i did his work..ridding the earth of commies and arabs...plus some liberal canadiens...woohoo.and then i will get....not 72 virgins.....but 172 virgins that enjoy head!!!!

see our god doles out sluts like there is no tomorow...and you have 72...we have 173..cause we are americans...and we got way more hoes then you.

so bring on the jihad,,,,i will get laid far better in the after life then i will ever in real life!

peace..lol

can these zombies swim? cause if they can that island wont do much good.

can these zombies swim? cause if they can that island wont do much good.
no they cant swim but are mobile in water they can walk along the bottom or fill with corpse gas and float.

What about t-virus zombies??? Scientific zombies is what's hip now-a-days.
Interesting trivia.
In both Resident Evil Movies, the word "Zombie" is neither spoken nor written.

1: Arm myself with blunt weapon ie:bat etc
2: Secure vehicle and head to nearest army installation
3: Find and enter armoury, and spend 5 mins drooling over the weapons availiable while remaining alert to any zombies and then grab as much as i can
4: locate any APC's or tanks, fill fuel tanks(if not full already)
5: Use the said APC or tank and proceed to play chicken with the zombies
6: When fuel is gone, grab weapons and blast away using all ammo grabbed until im out and then use said weapon(s) as a melee weapon and go out fighting.
:mp5: :sniper: :mp5: :sniper: :mp5: :sniper:

Short Term: Head to my parent's house. My step-father owns guns, a 10kw generator and here's always a decent stock of supplies in the house.

Long-term: Raid a local mall for a copy of 'Voodoo For Dummies' and turn the zombies to my side. :)

can these zombies swim? cause if they can that island wont do much good.


i keep forgetting...your gov's dont trust the commoners with weapons,so sorry..your all dead....oops...only the aristocrats can defend them selves....you common folk are stuck with kitchen knives...or farm implements.sucks for you i suppose...but i guess you can ward offf an attack of zombie jihadists with pitchforks...it worked against frankenstein....100 years ago.
or however un pallitable it may be,,,,,,your southern neighbor,or the guys that drove acrosss the fuckin ocean...willl help you out....i wont...sink or swim on your own hook is my motto...fuck me once ..shame on you...fuck me twice....i'm an asshole.

you euros got bailed out twice by us..and dont appreciate nothing cause you got foolish pride.

like the french..fight till the last drop of english blood...

if the zombies attack...i know you folks will say...why are you zombies misunderstood?
the americans are horrible..go eat them..we will capitulate and do the chamberlin act...you jknow...appease the scum...and us americans will have to win the war....and you lazy french will reap the rewards of our blood...alll the while...being french.....as long as you dont mind your women hoing to the aliens...cool...we dont

wow..what arant on a zombie thread...must not drink captain morgan..lol

you do realise it was in jest..i hope?

Short Term: Get bitten due to my lack of survival skills.

Long Term: Eat people and slowly rot away. Though it probably wouldn't be slowly actually. Stuff tends to disappear somewhat fast where I live...

Of course, all that's presuming that I wasn't the one to start off this zombie attack in my dying moments. Then we can skip the first part and go right to the second one.

I have just thought of a problem...

....While all of the militia folks are busy taking out the zombies, all the human rights campaigners will probably demand that the zombies be given rights too as they were humans once before and demand that militias be outlawed.

What about the Pro-lifers. After-all, Zombies have human DNA. The sanctity of life must be protected. Even if it's your second, and you crave human brains.

What we really need is a good human brain substitute.

'I Can't Believe It's Not Brains' :D

Nope... the UK,and im for the militias :D

Short Term: Run to Nearest hardware store, gather guns, chainsaws, axes, ammo, Nail guns, ect. Also get building supplies, like thick wood or metal.

Long Term: Use all the equipment to get to a grocery store. Use the weapons to defend yourself, use the materials to barricade yourself in, live off the food. (Tip: eat the produce first because they tend to rot the soonest.)

I know where theres a machine gun in the ground with barrel of ammo. If I make it there with a shovel I might be able to get it and be prepared. That or rob a Guns & Ammo Store nearby and rush out shooting anything that moves and isn't a hot chick or some guy carrying a sack of precooked meat. Anyone else must die! ;)

I will become a predator. Praying on all things that aren't in my pack. Ya know, besides hot women and delicious meat products.

Short Term: Steal a car and hightail it to the Mitchell Street Center - 20 stories high. Spend the next week or two dining on pilfered foods from the penthouses and hocking loogies on the zombies down below.

Long term: Break into the local sports centre and steal my beloved blades - a katana and a wakizashi, four hand scimitars, two long-bladed throwing daggers, two dirks and two fingerblades, to be hidden under my clothing. Also a Glock and a deer rifle to be worn across the back for sticky situations. Wear lots of black, and go barefoot. Steal a car and drive into the main part of town to rescue a certain someone :p get there, and probably blow her away in a heartwrenching scene of angst and betrayal as she is now a mindless zombie and doesn't recognise me. Commit seppuku over having lost the only woman I ever loved, and also as a screw-you to the zombified little sister of hers trying to latch onto my leg (as usual) and trying to eat my ankle (not as usual). Bleed. Die. The End.

Short term: use random imporvised weaposn to hold off the horde.
Long term: Take a leaf out of the pastor in ravensburg's (HL2) book and turn glasgow in to a giant nightmareish play ground full of traps for killing the zombies in sick and twisted (yet entertaining) ways. Oh then hopefully find a gav gun prototype in the basement labs of one of the universities and have fun throwing things at the zombies (cars, buses, CDs, saw blades etc).

Short term-Find a shotgun and a chainsaw, then become like Ash from Evil Dead

Long term-Sail the seven seas with a crew of fellow zombie survivors, raiding other ships for treasure. Aaar

Oh yeah on second thought my long-term goal will be to become one of that guy's zombie-killing pirates! ;) Yarrrr.

short term: get grenades and shotguns, or if those are not available, a simple ax or bowie knife will do.

long term: secure rations, transportation and gas, and find a secure spot - preferrably surrounded by water - to sit it out with friends and family. well, maybe not family...

have u lot think of zomdie dogs they move fast

Yup. Hence the wakizashi. Zombie dog leaps, I swing - SLICE!! And now I have a hood ornament for the car I'll be stealing :p

lemme just get my boomstick

OKAY! :D now lets say your Partner has just been bitten.
Which is the UBERUBERUBER suxxor.
Do you.
:mad: Go mental and kill lots of zombies bare handed.
:( Keep her/him around cuddling and kissing and crying and then shoot them
:rolleyes: Put her/him out of misery straight away
:headbang: Search for a cure and failing that have sex and get infected yourself and live as zombies together.
:eek: Go insane and kill your friends and family before searching for more humans to kill :D

First things first, call freidns, relatives, and fellow gun nuts, and barricade ourselves in a university lab with pleanty of food. Then, capture zombie and find out how infection works. If the only way you can get infected is to get bitten or die, then we eat our way out. ;)

in that order, well i might wait a bit before putting her out so that she can take down a few more zombies with me. also i would use a chainsaw, or machete not the bare fists.

Id do this "..." "..." "..."
Then id proceed to comfort her till the time comes and shoot her.
Then id let the zombies in Bottle-Neck fashion (1 at a time)
Shoot till i have 1 bullet left.
Use blunt weapons till im tired and then shoot myself.

why not after she dies barricade yourself somewhere with lots of ammo and then bottleneck. hours of fun.

Hmm....

My town has about 30k people.

I have about 1200 rounds of 7.62x39

First thing is to get out of town, obviously. Good thing I have a Jeep.

Next, go to a friends house in the country about 20 miles south of town. Between him, my other friends who would congregate there, and our families who we would try to consolidate as much as possible we'd probably have about 30 guns and maybe 100k rounds of ammo (I'm considered to be lightly armed by most) of various types.

At that point you just wait it out, I guess. Although a raid in force to the grocery store in the nearby town would probably be necessary, and given that there are only 9k people in that town there shouldn't be too many zombies. The problem is getting there before any other armed enclaves do.

Nope... the UK,and im for the militias :Dhey, that's perfect. then you send in those human rights campaigners to 'negotiate' and since there should be no mis-understandings, no one takes any guns or ammo. then when all the Human Rights folk are gone, the zombies, slow from being fed, would be easy targets. :D

This is the reason why, in the US anyway, that Zombies will never take over. In the Zombie films, there always one mad gun-shop owner (MGSO) stuck on a roof. Now, I don't know how much ammo a MGSO will have, but it's gonna be a lot. I just calculated that one MGSO, shooting one zombie in the head every five seconds from 9 in the morning to 5pm in the evening with half an hour for lunch and two 15 minute tea/coffee breaks will eliminate 100,800 zombies in a month. That's a hell of a kill ratio - 1MGSO:100K zombies. And then you've got all the militias knocking about, the melee weaponers etc. And not taking into account mankind's two greatest allies in the war against zombies : (1) maggots (2) flesh eating bacteria.

I tell ya, those zomboids ain't got no chance.

Course, in England, we're unarmed so we'll probably get bitten :eek:

Grrraaaaaaaaaaahhhh! Brrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaainsss!

Short Term: Sing "Colt 45. and 2 zigzags, baby that's all we need!"
Long Term: Find as many females to procreate with, even if the end is immenent.

Long or short term, it don't matter.

I'd just go "Madness"

Clowns! Violence! Zombies! The Holy Saviour!

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/172771

Follow the link and then click 'Watch this movie'.

All hail to Krinkels, creator of Madness !!! :D

Short Term: Try and establish a "safe zone" for survivors to live at for a decent amount of time.

Long Term: Grab dad's blades, get in the army pickup, drive near an armory or something like that, "borrow" a LAV III or a Leopord and head to Stoney Mountain (a federal prison).

Eek! Zombie attack! The slow stupid ones i mean ;)
What do you do!
A: Short term.
B: Long term!
A: Blend in.
B: Find higher ground and wait 'em out.

Short term: Get neighbor, give him power tools, send him on a zombie-killing spree.
Long term: Get local firearms owners and Microsoft security guards together, exterminate all zombies in the area, then set up a perimeter. Turn Microsoft van fleet into APCs.

Lucky I live within 5 minutes of Microsoft.

As for food... well, we could send raiding parties to hit the supermarkets after the Microsoft cafeteria is depleted. But with thousands of Microsoft employees to serve in our army, we could retake most of the Eastside. If we can secure I-90, we could get supply lines to the farms, and guaruntee ourselves plenty of food. Assuming that humans can survive on a diet composed primarily of apples. And seafood, once we gain access to Lake Washington.

I would simply sit back and let the Microsoft Armed Forces take things over. If the rest of the world is being wiped out by zombies, I would aid in the Microsoft conquest of the Earth and the crowning of William H. Gates III as Dictator-for-Life.

Hurray!!! Zombies!!! :p
I already have several guns, a ton of ammo, a vehicle, and enough canned food to last me for six months. I'd just go pick up my girlfriend and then drive out to the coast and get a rowboat. Row out to a small island. Erect a shelter with a tower for lookout. Fortify it. Grow a large garden for food, my girlfriends a vegetarian anyways so that works out. Finally, fortify the coastline of the island by building a zombie proof fence, occasionally making trips to the mainland for supplies and to check how things are going. Have fun.

Zombie Attack!
Is that like "Shark Attack!"?

That tropical island option sounds nice.

Short term: The Winchester, or locally, the Greco Pizzeria.

Long term: Three words. Classified. Military. Technology.

Short term: Capture a zombie for study in a barricaded area, with a bunch of other curious people.

Long Term: Develop a system of improving the basic zombie to a faster, smarter, super-zombie, and then getting myself turned into one!

Short Term: walk around moaning brains, so I don't get killed.
Long Term: cry in the corner

I'll consider a Resident Evil type scenario but over a whole continient, no magic.

Short term
I will gather ranged weapons and avoid detection by the undead - ammunition may be scarce. Gather as many survivors as possible while gathering specialist skills like doctors and engineers. Also try to get a few people who can sail a ship.

Long term
Get plenty of immediately edible food (like for a year) and get crop seeds. Maybe some breeding chicken.

Make a dash for some Marina and 'borrow' a dozen sailing ships (no more fueling remember? winds are the energy source for sailing ships). Find an island which can support cultivation and barricade it.

Raid the mainland occasionally.
