Welcome, Veterans and newcomers! This is the reconstruction of The Zombie Survival Club.
First off, I'll introduce you to some of our staff.
-SkaterKidWhoPwns- This is the guy who is my 2nd in command. If you cannot get to me, go to him and he'll answer questions/comments/concerns.
...We have no other staff? Well then.
READ THE RULES. IF YOU DO NOT IT'S LIKELY YOU'RE NOT GETTING IN.
1. Do not ask "Can I join?" or any other variation of that comment. (instructions on how to join will come soon)
2. Do not make a "Scenario" (will be explained later) unless you are a member.
3. Don't be stupid, use logic and think as if you were in the actual situation. OF course it's unlikely that it will happen, but we ask that all visitors and members be serious and literate.
4. Do not question mod or my/skater's authority (unless a mod directly opposes it)
5. No overly smart-*ss comments against other members, visitors, or your superiors.
6. Do not make a Virus until you are a member. The sheet for making a virus will be given to you upon asking me or skater.
7. DO NOT. ABSOLUTELY NOT, ASK "CAN I JOIN?". I cannot stress this enough.
Now that all the rules are over with, I'll go over some Jargons (slang terms relating to "work" that we use here.
Scenario - This is a term we use for a situation that is meant to test the user (as well as give you something to do). These are non-linear, and are generally Hypotheticals. Any MEMBER can make a scenario. Scenarios are generally matched with a previous story/situation and they give the supplies you have on hand. As well as the supplies near you. There's also generally a map that goes with it.
Virus, Parasite, Infection - These are the general types of a zombie virus. If there is not a previous virus that is mentioned before a virus or a plan, it is automatically changed to the current dominant virus (Goliath). Goliath will be explained later in the OP.
Zed - Is the common nickname for Zombie. I.E. "Yo dude I just shot up some Zeds!" Or: "Gah! That d**n ZED bit me!"
Well that's it for the terminology! Here's the dominant virus. It's gone through plenty of tweaking, and I think it's pretty much the most realistic virus in the club (aside from hungers). If no other virus is specified before a Scenario or a plan, this is the virus to be used.
Name - Goliath Syndrome
Type - Parasite
Speed - Leisurely walking speed (2-4 MPH)
Sounds - A mild groan, much like a man/woman in pain. No screaming comes from the virus.
Infection - Infection comes from the cells. If so much as a skin cell gets into you, you'll be quickly infected (aprox. 10-160 minutes, depending on strength and immune system of the user). It contracts a lot like AIDS, but it can be ANY cell, be it secretion or meat.
Hunting - It hunts by smell and hearing. It can't see that well, but strong light in the dark will attract it. Best time to attack one is in the daytime. They can't see in detail but they can see blurry instances of light, I.E., a fire or a flashlight.
Other - Cannot swim. Cannot fly, cannot run, cannot climb.
Believability Factor - Goliath was made in a lab (Codename: Anthemia, which is a prototype of the virus. Can also be used for begginers). It hyper-evolved and infected a rat. THe rat got out and began to infect humans (as well as certain birds, causing the infection to be worldwide). What the parasite does is: It enters the body as an infected cell. From there, it infects all the other cells, coating them in a secretion that fends off any form of decomposer (In short, it makes the immune system of the host really powerful). Then, it randomly selects a cell in the body (it is generally a cell in the torso). It grows to about the size of a human heart. IT then crawls it's way into the brain. IT preforms a lobotomy and hooks into the brain, feeding it with a steady flow of required nutrients and oxygen. It shuts down all other systems besides the lungs and flushes out the blood in the body (the parasite provides the necessities for living brain), and spreads long, muscular tentacles across the zombie's body, becoming a puppeteer. The parasite feeds by slowly eating the host. IT'll take a couple of decades in order for the parasite to starve/suffocate.
Best ways to kill it - A shot to the head, killing either the parasite or the brain. A punctured lung will also kill it, but it'd take a couple of minutes for it to actually die.
How to become a member
First off, you need to make a plan. You have everything you would at home. IT would happen the moment you are typing up the answer. So if it happens at night, then it happened at night, happened at day, it happened at day. For the sake of not-cheating, we'll use AG time.
Then, you have to answer a Scenario. The Scenarios come every couple of pages.
Wait for Both the Plan and the Scenario to be graded. Each member has their own form of grading. Once it's been passed around me and Skater will figure out whether or not to let you in.
If you are not initially let in, do not be disheartened! You have unlimited tries to enter, and all members (should) give you tips to get a better plan.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why the hell am I doing this?
Reasons vary. Some people in the club do think the Zompocolypse would actually happen, and some people (like myself) do it for fun and practice for writing. Others do it because they just like killing and surviving zombies, while keeping it pretty realistic.
Can I make a Virus?
Sure, if you give me a comment on my page I'll be happy to give you the layout for the virus.
Can I Join?
Scroll up and read the OP. Do it.
Can I make a Scenario?
If you are a member, sure. Just make sure it's somewhat realistic. There are no real parameters for it, it just has to be a situation. Try and make it hard, too.
I think that's pretty much it! There are a couple of tiddly bits for you guys, though:
Titles/Ranks - A title or a "rank" will be given to you if you do something outstandingly awesome, stupid, weird, or just plain out there while still keeping it realistic. For a list of the ranks/titles, visit my page.
Members - A list of the members can be found on either my, or skater's page.
Discussion - Discussions will be held every now and again, as a stand-in for a Scenario. There will be a topic in BOLD (BOLD, MEMBERS) to let you know what the Discussion is about.
and that is pretty much it.
Now then, have fun everyone!

No sh*t. If there is no law, who cares if you steal your parent's gun or find one? That's right nobody. Now unless you have something productive to say I suggest you gtfo with your irrelevant sh*t, captain Hindsigh
Uhh, what about the response to the bug out bag part? If you don't have enough supplies in your house for at least a month you're out of luck. By then the chaos would have died down, enough for you to leave, but until then if you leave your house you're as good as done.

Not everyone lives in the city, and that's what neighbors are for if someone does.
I was referring to their house+Supplies, as some are bound to be gone or dead. If they are alive, extort or kill em, that much less future zombies in the world.
Great, so now you think you can take on your neighbors? Good luck with that. Every time you leave your house, you are putting yourself at immense risk. Thus, unless you have supplies on you for at least month you will not survive.
hemm well i guess i will wait for a new scenario until u see what i have in my house

Again depends on your setting, but in an urban environment most homes tend to be interconnected (i.e apartments, studios, etc.), meaing you're not in as much of a risk as say a suburban one where you absolutely have to go out on the street to go to a neighbor's home.
And carefully rationed, anyone can turn 7 days worth of food into say a month's if it was life or death (NOT to say that's a healthy amount for anything but being idle, like waiting out the panic)
hemm well i guess i will wait for a new scenario until u see what i have in my house
Huh? There is no way I can confirm what you have, so just try to be honest and realistic (For example nobody has a tank parked in the front driveway and a minigun in their closet). Think over all your assets, formulate a plan, and post it here.
Then you sir... are a ****** bag.
......
Ohh, was I supposed to care?
i dont belive in zombies if you can tell me other wise just tell me on my profile
I live on the second floor of an apartment building in Ontario, Canada. First thing I would do after hearing about the zombies is clean my bathtub, then start filling it up with water. That should last me a while. I'll fill all sinks, cups, containers with water. Normally food lasts my dad and I a week or two. We'll eat the cats sooner or later though. We'll barricade the door and peek out the window for survivors. If we spot some and the coast is clear, one of us would go on the balcony and tell them to come over. We would try to open the garage door that leads to the huge garage. (opened by a little button on my dad's keychain + hoping the power still works.) If it doesn't we would have to go down to the lobby to open the door. (Peek out the peephole on the door before heading out.) Considering a disease like Solanum comes out, we'll be pretty safe thanks to stairs and the fact that basically 2-3 people can fit in the stair case side by side, stairs are our biggest defense. When food/water runs out, I'll probably already have a plan. (one of them is to try to get to one of those highway rest stops, they have many vending machines that I doubt people would go for.) For defense we have a baseball bat, a large kitchen knife, one of those meat pounding mallets, and two swiss army knifes (one small (one blade) one large (2 blades, saw). The swiss army knifes are mostly for utility. I'm hoping to survive for atleast 1 1/2 months
Also, solanum zombies would most likely freeze up here during winter.
I have 2 cats. What should I do with them? They'll most likely start making noise which could attract any zombies that are on the floor. Speaking of zombies on the floor, would there be any? All of the zombies would probably be stumbling around inside their apartments...
stuntman is right.
You're dead without a gun, that's all there really is to it.

You'd be best to set them free whenever you leave your home so they don't starve slowly to death inside your home and have a chance of surviving out there.
And the chances, depending on the type of zombie there might not be any zombies in the building at all, as spontaneous transmission is not very likely (again, depends on the way the zombie disease transmits).
You're dead without a gun
Wrong. You're dead without a plan. I'll just be all cozy for around 2-6 weeks in my boarded apartment while you're out endangering yourself and wasting ammo :P
I'll probably start exploring a few days after the initial outbreak. By exploring I mean other people's apartments (knock and yell to see if there are any humans.) and maybe checkout the lobby.
(knock and yell to see if there are any humans.)
Wrong, making loud noise like yelling will be like a dinner bell to the zombies. If you could think of a quieter, more efficient way of communicating without too much noise, it would be much better.
