This is a completely serious club, people who make a decent enough plan will be able to comment and review other plans. Here is some zombie info.
run/walk: they walk
scream/groan: they groan
day/night: All da time babey!
what they attack: EVERYTHING THEY HEAR, OR THAT MOVES!
survivors: very very little, like near 100-1000 people on EARTH
guns: This is real time, being your neighboorhood and everything, you have all the resources you have in your house.
cure: there is none.
where to go: so long as you have a plan to get their, go for it.
how much you can carry: AGAIN, THIS IS REAL TIME
family members: theres a high chance they are zombehs too. able to join: if you didn't read, just make a good plan.
durability: they can take ALOT of damage, worse than playing last stand 2 with just a pistol for the entire game when the zombies have twice as much life.
doors: they can't work a doorhandle for the mostpart of their brain is already rotted I am still making my plan right now, but I think some of you can do it. Let the zombie surviving begin!
Anyways, yeah i did think about the fact that it would leave me completely visable, but with luck I would not be found to easily. As for the barth room, it would have one(Maybe out side with a key but astill) For employes. I could live off junk food for a pretty long time. If the weather was cold enough, I could take some of the frozen meat(Like the stuff for the hot dogs they make) And freeze them in the ice containers out side. Drinks would be plentifull, and i could probably find a blanket or coat somewere.
Now as you said about the trailer park....I live in one, and alot of people are very good with ther ehands and make alot of stuff them selfs. And the others are allways high or drunk....So you got mixed qualitys here. Yes if yo uwent to the larger hosues you could find an accountant....so you can give your taxes to the zombie tax collecter!
Hehehe... you got a real chuckle out of me there Skater_Kid! I mean, out loud chuckle... Zombie Tax Collector. Too darn funny.
I was thinking, as this is a small town, the gas station would probably also have a garage, two or three bays, and enclosed. That wouldn't be a bad place to set up camp either. If they have any car's elevated, or pits for changing oil, there would be decent places to hide, too.
Does any one have any idea how long you would have to hide in an unreachable spot before the zombies would give up? I mean, if you were i nan elevated car, there is no way your getting out if there are 10 dead heads around you if you dont have a gun.
Wait is this club seriously serious about SERIOUS zombie matters!? Cuz zombies aren<edit>'</edit>t real and there never going to be so its kind of a pointless club =)
reanimation of a corpse is pretty easy. I have been going into microbiology in order to even make something to this extent. Either way, clubs are almost always useless, but at least this club is good fro training your analysis and comprehension skills. Instead of constant "yeah well kirby will just. . ." of the kirby club or the creation of sigs in sig strikers. This club was normally made so that people could associate with one another, and it's changed into something of an after-school program. Point is, don't rag on the club, you should look deeper into something before you criticize. Jerk.
Obviously i agree with thoad. But i belive what he was trying to say with regards to the clubs seriousness is that it isnt just a place where people say random things about zombies. People put thought and effort into plans, viruses and scenarios and rebuttles. He didnt mean that this is a serious club in the sense that we all belive a zombie infestation is impending.
Does any one have any idea how long you would have to hide in an unreachable spot before the zombies would give up? I mean, if you were in an elevated car, there is no way your getting out if there are 10 dead heads around you if you don't have a gun.
I think it is safe to say that the zombies will wait there, until something distracts them. They have no biological urge, except the need to feed. If they know where you are, they are not going to have any other thought but "Eat Skater_Kid" until some other food (or expectation of food) is brought to their attention.
I doubt anything as simple as throwing a rock behind them would be sufficient.
The key point is, they are never going to get tired, or bored, or forget that you are there.
Your best bet would be to try and find a way out in a direction they can see, perhaps if there is an elevated car in the next bay? Not sure how far apart they would be. Maybe out the top? Tricky...
This is all true, but iwould have thought a garage would be the perfect place to hide. Garage doors are normally relatively heavy metal, which dont let any light in. The zombies probably wouldnt be able to see you, and even if they did they would have a hard time breaking in giving you enough time to plan an escape route.
Based on many years of watching horror films and playing zombeh games, here's my plan:
As my family is a family of hunters, I have about 5 high-velocity rifles (.30 caliber) with about 400 total rounds of ammunition, 4 shotguns (12 gauge) with around 140 total rounds of ammunition, 2 pistols (.357 magnum long barrel and .38 stub-nose special) with 120 total rounds of ammunition, a 7" combat-survival knife, a 3" collapsible skinning knife, and a reloading bench with enough supplies to regenerate 4000 rounds of ammunition (spread amongst all the guns). I will also have a variety of gun cleaning and maintenance kits in order to keep my weapons at the ready.
With this arsenal, I would hole myself, assuming my network of family and friends are either zombies or zombie food, up inside a storm shelter below ground with enough water and canned/non-perishable food to last for 12 months. To prevent scurvy and infection, I would store multivitamins to supplement the canned food and a fully functioning first aid kid. For sanity purposes, I would also attempt to grab any and all reading material possible. I would attempt to find as many matches, candles, and camping lanterns as possible in case of an emergency that called for their use. I would locate a stationary bike for exercise and a functioning mountain bike for transportation once conditions improved.
Since we have agreed that the zombies are not advanced enough to operate doorknobs, we can also assume they aren't advanced enough to dig through the ground covering the storm shelter, break the concrete/steel walls of said storm shelter, or break down the steel door covering the entrance to the shelter.
We will assume that when I enter the shelter, the pandemic has been in full swing for 14 days. That will be enough time for my entire town of about 10,000 people to become infected or consumed. Zombies lack the mental capacity to travel long distances, so we will assume that the most zombies that could possibly assail me at my given location would be around 8,000.
During the first few days of my encampment, I will probably have, in anguish and desperation, killed about 40-50 zombies in close proximity to my shelter and spent about 120 rounds of ammunition (assuming 40%-50% accuracy due to stress). This leaves me with 540 rounds of ammunition (4000 reserve).
Eventually, I will realize that killing the zombies is futile since I would be able to kill them all, and leaving the shelter will expose me to injuring myself or being attacked by zombies/survivors. Also, the noise of killing the zombies will attract more zombies and any survivors in the area. The few zombies that are aware of my presence are of little to no consequence since they cannot penetrate my shelter, and the zombies lack of communication will prevent them from amassing an army to converge on my location.
After 8 months of encampment, I will begin leaving the shelter often in order to locate possible remaining sources of food and water. We will assume that most local water refineries have been contaminated and the water they provide is undrinkable. At this point in time, 8 months 2 weeks into the pandemic, most of the zombies in the area have either wandered off following nomadic survivors or have "re-perished" due to lack of food(humans) to sustain them. The remaining zombies can be dispatched easily, since the majority of my arsenal is still intact.
Once the area has been thoroughly secured and de-zombied, I will search for any supermarkets and stores that might have food or water left. After a couple of weeks of searching, if nothing viable or sustaining is found, I will begin making preparations to leave the area. I will spend another couple of weeks searching homes and businesses for any weapons, functioning vehicles, or medicine. We will assume that I only find one car to which I can acquire the keys, and that it has 8 gallons of gas in it. Lets also assume that I find (at least) 3 more firearms and 300 more rounds of ammunition from the many homes and businesses that I scour.
I will load up my 3 months of remaining supplies and my remaining arsenal and begin my journey. What the road holds ahead, I'm not sure. Maybe other towns will yield more, maybe they will yield less. Maybe I will encounter few zombies, but my gut says I would encounter many.
A few variables exist, such as whether or not any friendly/hostile survivors were found and if any adverse weather conditions affected me negatively during the first 9 months of the pandemic.
And that is my plan. I think it's a good one, but I will open up the floor to criticism!
The origin: The origin of the Omega virus was never discovered, but speculation to an extraterrestrial origin is common, as it began in early November, after the Leonids meteor shower.
The beginning: Whatever it was, it started in the mountains. If they had only been aware, they could have probably stopped it in the first few days, or even the first month, easy. The first zombies had been campers in the mountains, drifting down into the small tourist towns, and dots on that map that would have been busy during the ski season. They came at night, they always do, of course. By mid-December there were rumors, but geography had kept them contained, along the mountain valleys, where the population was thin. Who would notice if Goober Town U.S.A. was empty one day. Not many. Not enough... On Christmas eve though, they erupted. With no warning, cities like Baltimore and Philadelphia became hell holes, literally over night.
The Massacre At Kansas City: For all the chaos, the military still didnât understand what they were up to. The zombies hated the daylight. We later found out they hated bright light of any kind. Anyway, when the military moved into Kansas City, they only found a handful of survivors. Survivors who were thought to be insane with their tales of zombies. Until the sun went down, and the zombies, many of which had burrowed into the ground during the day, rose up, and devoured the entire contingent of troops; two thirds of III Corp, out of Fort Hood.
Zombie characteristics: Omega Zombies are tough. It is not uncommon for one to take a .45 to the head, go down, and rise back up, several hours later. Fire has proven to be ineffective versus the living dead, and they cannot be stopped by rivers, or lakes, traveling even under water to get to their prey. While not intelligent in the human sense, they are fairly canny, and will pile atop each other to reach the second, and even the third, and in one case the fourth floor of a building. Due to their unusual toughness, Zombies of people slain as far back as the civil war have been seen roaming some parts of the country. Rumors of a wandering Abraham Lincoln have not been substantiated. It is rumored that some zombies are a conglomeration of several bodies buried close together. Monstrous creatures have been reported in south-east Asia, as well as parts of Africa and Europe where genocide has been practiced, along with mass graves.
These zombies do not travel during the day, hating the light of day, and bright lights of any kind. If they do find a darkened place to hide during the day, they remain active, but are slower, almost sluggish in their movements. Individuals will burrow underground, if possible, and burst free at nightfall.
Prognosis: Eventual eradication of the Omega Zombies is believed to be possible in limited areas with ten years, with the U.S, Canada and Western Europe expected to be Zombie free within fifty years. Permanent eradication of these living dead is not considered feasible under more is learned about them.
Only thing is, would you dig an escape tunnel for the back? I eman what if a few zombies do find your hide out, and wait for you to come out? As they dont age or hunger..........when you come out they will peek-a-boo you!
Any ways, I did like how you added in the exercise matter, as you would lose a large amount of muscel, and become sluggish if sitting still.
Any ways, you are sure to get in once you awnser a scenario, (when someone makes one) and just stay active. i can see your actually serious bout it, so.....YEAH!
Skater_Kid likes it, dotnetkid, but it is so pretty, pat and perfect it really didn't challenge you much. (And it would make for a boring movie!) hehehe...
Anyway, let us see how you do with a scenario, that might stretch you a little bit.
One the subject of names, just call me skater. it's much faster to type and i hate my long name any ways.
Allright, I haven't exactly made a scenario in quite a while so here we GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Scenario.
You and 3 other survivors are on a 4th floor of a duplex building. You destroyed the stairs, and replaced them with a rope ladder down to the first floor, were you have another rope ladder folded up, so no zombies can rip the rope down and trap you. Your weapons consist of a flare gun, a machine gun of sorts, that you found rading a drug house. (juding by the large piles of crack cocain) A .22 runting rifel, and a home made bomb.
You were just sitting around, drinking some 7 UP when all of a sudden You hear moaning. It isn't comeing from zombies, but form your HAM radio. Yo ucan't talk back, only listen. yo utune it in and here a males voice, with a few others i nthe back round. Hello, we are under attack by zombies, are there any survivors? Hello!
You have no way of awnsering, or knowing were its comeing from. How do you make contact with them and same them from there impending doom?
If you are to find them, you will have to fight off 20 xzombies, but they are all unarmed, and you could allways use extra help.
Please, use your brains with this one, and have fun....Especially you, Mud pie MAck
