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!

Epic plan Thoad, though lot a risks involved. I kinda like to go to a place where there may not of been an outbreak and sit out the entire thing (If there was ever to be an end). Though, jumping on roof tops does sound pretty cool...
Huh. Thanks for posting that example story, throad. I think it could be picked apart for good hints on a survival plan, being such a well-made plan. Not as a review (like throad needs a reviewed plan), But I like how you tried to keep defended and think others can learn form it. Instead of the usual casual clothes everyone picks, I like how this plan considers protection, even if he doesn't have gear like a helmet meant to protect a head from a high-speed concussion.
By the way, has anyone thought of a good scenario? I think the only ones so far were skater_kid's example and Bjiscuit's plan waaaay back at the beginning.
If there was ever to be an end
Somewhere near ... 50-70 years.

Is that how long until Goliath dies out, or how long until Goliath wipes out the Americas?
Goliath
Has anyone made a different disease? 'Cause I got a great idea for a new one.
Bacobit, I think that viruses are only created by members.
Which remind me...eh, I'll do it tomorrow.

I thought Skater said I was a member? Oh well, Thoad, is my plan (on page 12) Good enough?
Next time thoad gets on AIm were going to disscus these things.......member thigns. Sorry for making all of you wait so much.
My plan:
I live in asmall trailer park out about 15 minutes from anything. Meaning other homes (minus 4 farm houses) stores, gas stations, anythings. So I would be safe for a bit. As soon as I heard of the outbreak, i would clog all the drains, and fill the bath tubs, sinks and any containers i could with water. I would do this untill I ran out of containers, or the water got shut off. the door to my trailer sits about 3 and a half feet off the ground so If I destroyed the porch, I would be abelt okeep zombies from getting to the door. (windows I can't even reach from the ground and I'm 6 foot) ONce all the food in my house is gone I would the 5 minutes up the road to the lake, in which there are small islands, fish, and alot of animals. I would gather a few things to take with me. My .32 rifle, my 16 gauge shotgun, shells for both, any food Ican find in my neiborghs houses (as well as the .22 pistol, and other guns they have) I would get a fishing rod, a few lighters, and a phone book or two.
ONce I got to the lake, I would take some one of the fishing boats to the lrge island in the lake, there is a tree in the middle where I could Make a small shelter agasint the tree. At first it would only be made of sticks, but as a I dismantled trailers I could drag peices of the metal, and wood and inulation up to my shelter and make it perminatet.
Short term plan, I have to go for now.
Is that how long until Goliath dies out, or how long until Goliath wipes out the Americas?
Until the Goliath Parasite either A) dies from other consequences, or B) Runs out of food.
Has anyone made a different disease? 'Cause I got a great idea for a new one.
You can, and that's a good idea.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Please repost any viruses you have made, but remind yourself, you have to be a member. I'll be putting it an an alt account, so I can put it there.
Runs out of food.
Seven billion munchies. That would be a long time. xD
You would be dead long before it died out.

Can I post a new one?
Hey tray im a bit late, but in 1 the more survivors you have the more food weapons and equipment you can carry.
In 2 im pretty sure silencers are not illegal.
In 3 yes it has something called panears(i think that is how you spell it)wich makes it so much easier.
In 7 no i would fortify it for when i park/dock it.
In 8 i train once a week in survival so....

@1: Yeah, but you can't always trust survivors. If you can trust em, take em, but I wouldn't go up to random people and go "Here, take a gun and follow me!"
@2: You're probably right.
@3: Alright, I'll take your word for it.
@7: Sounds good.
@8: That doesn't explain how you'd get all the stuff. I want to know, I don't wanna take your word for that.
In 2 im pretty sure silencers are not illegal.
Illegal in America. They don't sell them for recreational use. You'd have to be killing a human in order to have use for a silencer, hence they don't want you using a silencer.
