Yay! Another zombie thread!

Well, to end my self-exile I start a thread! This one, yet again, talking about the topic that most people here LOVE! ZOMBIES! I recently had a brainstorm session in which I thought about how people of each time period and culture within those time periods would deal with the event of a zombie invasion. So what I want this thread to be about is people giving us situations in which a zombie invasion happens, along with what time period and culture we are in. Then others will respond to the situation, saying what they would do if they were a person in that time period and culture. You can make the zombies into anything you want them to be, as long as they follow what is normally called "a zombie", and aren't ubered up so bad that an entire magazine of a .50 cal machine gun won't kill one, but not so weak to the point to where a twig could kill them with one whack across the head. Try to give a reasonable scientific explanation to how they were made. That's basically it. I will add things if I think I need to. Begin!

Capture the zombies and start a zombie theme park. Zombie museum, haunted house ride with actual zombies chained just out of reach of the customers, zombie night club with an all-zombie band and zombie dancers in elevated cages, all that good shit.

Meh people. I said give us a situation, then we say what we do in it. Not say what you would do if a zombie invasion happened RIGHT NOW! And no Gravlen, I am no zombie. Yet.

In any given situation I can think of nothing better than producing Zombie burgers.

With the possible exception of some kind of zombie tea.

Pssh. Try dual katanas. While not possible in real life, I imagine it would still look pretty kick-ass.

Too much symmetry.
Dual short or broad swords is alright, but once you start using something with the shape of a katana (long yet thin), the symmetry detracts from the actual image => idea of the katana itself. But that's just my BS intuition.

I've seen most of the zombie movies made in the last 5 years now, the last one i watched was set i the Irish country side, basically mad cow disease mutated and transfered from animal to human, turning them into flesh eating zombies.. even the cows... i'm starting to find them rather tiresome.. theres only 2 types of storylines.. The disease was created in a lab an accidentally released like in resident evil and then theres the mutating common desease that comes from animals to humans.. other then that the storylines become the same ie people trying to escape to a safe place, everyone dies cept main character joy!,

...So I assume from the OP, you were looking for something along the lines of:

The year was 1350. The Black Death took an unusual turn when the unknown virus that was hitherto merely killing scads of people right and left mysteriously mutated -- and the recently deceased returned from their graves (i.e. ditches and wheelbarrows). Ministers and "true Christians" knew immediately that this was an ill omen; pagans and humanists were pretty sure this wasn't such a good thing too. Usually they realized the enormity of the situation too late: an old relative knocking on the door, a lover biting a bit too hard, a butcher shop that smelled worse than usual, a town leader that was particularly brainless...

(I'm pretty sure this would go under "Sound & Fury")

The vikings would not have this problem, they burn their dead and they're not advanced enough to make a virus. If the zombie virus came from an animal they'd just kill it. Vikings are just badass like that.

if it were 1350 I would disguise myself as a scarecrow every time zombies would come near hopefully avoiding the apocalypse then I would go fight in the hundred years war like any Englishman’s wet dream should be.

How about New York 1969 the first men on the Moon bring back a mysterious virus with them panic spreads as weird hippies become upstanding zombies jamming to Zombie Buddy Holly

Zombie story...

Once there was a young witch woman, who when her boyfriend died in a freak accident, couldn’t live with the pain of separation, and dug him from the grave, casting spells that made him come back to life.

As bringing back people from the dead is a really hard spell to pull off it went predictable wrong! The boy’s body came alive but nothing but hunger came with it!

After seeing him feasting on many a lushes babes the witch got furiously jealous and cut off his head! It was too late though to save the people he had bitten into turning into zombies too...

What followed was a lot of screaming, killing, and eating!

The end.

Zombies! Let's see, if a huge plague of zombies took place tonight...

Well, I'd grab my bro, drive to my dad's house. Get into his gun cabinets and grab everything he's got, rifles, pistols, and ammo. Grab all of the bottles of anything flammable. Fill empty bottles with gasoline and instant mash potato mix (napalm! :D ) load it all into my car. Probaly have to cap some zombies on the way, go try and find some of my friends. Then shoot, stab, slash, hack, smash, and blast our way to safe place to make into a place of operations...


Or mabye I watch waaay too many zombie flicks too many times...

Use the katana and its shorter companion (I forget its name, starts with a w). thats what its there for, and fighting Florentine is quite possible in real life. The training can be dangerous though, and its usually done with a rapier and dagger combo.

That sounds about right.
