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!

Meant like - proboards or something. A link to refer to a whole other forum, where people can get members and stuff, but really should not, because it is stricktly for the information.
That way there could be a forum section for viruses, scenarios, member responses for the "outbreak", so people can see who is a member and who is not. Stuff like that.
Because such forums are free, and we do not need fore for the information only kind of board.


yeah, we've thought of that, but I would prefer it to stay AG native, and I wouldn't like reposting the link every couple 3 pages. I'll feel like I'm spamming :P.

It'll take at least 100 years for a zombie to eat itself. The songies will take a long time before they die out, and using cattle and things of the like isn't too great for a perfect plan. There can be droughts, shortage of fresh natural water, and cattle could just choose not to mate.

Why? If you can create resources (have reliable food/water sources), why not just wait it out? ... Unless we're talking one of those where they don't fall apart after long enough time.
If you can just last long enough, won't the zombies die out eventually?
And, I said reliable sources. Meaning, not being in a place where droughts happen frequently. Nor relying only on a single source of food.
Even if zombies last for hundreds of years, why should you try to do anything more than wait it out if you know you do not have the knowledge needed to find a cure, nor the resources to wipe them all out?


good question, what the parasite does, is it (this is in response to Cenere's questions, hitting 2 birds with 1 stone :P) starts off smaller than a dustmite, then it grows to the size of a heart, it climbs up to the brain, and then hits the life support. About 10 seconds later, it hooks itself up into the brain, setting it back up. With another small, sharp tentacle, it crawls to the lungs and hooks itself up there, for oxygen. The way the bodies don't decay is because the parasite infects each cell (with something of a shell on each) to repel anything that would eat the dead tissue. They aren't so much driven by hunger as they are driven by sheer violence. The Parasite does not need food, for it eats the organs of the zombie, then it moves to the fat, and then the muscles. Eventually, the zombies will die out but I bet they'd take the human race with them.
So how long can it feed on the body...?

Survive!
*goes to most likely die, but hopefully have fun while doing so*

waiting it out would be decent, but to wait it out for the rest of your life, well, there's just one problem. Stray zombies. Sounds stupid, but since the zombies have super scent, hearing, but are a bit lacking in sight, they will follow you around for a good 20 years or so before they actually "give up". So eventually, your gonna get wave after wave after wave of huge waves of about 100 zombie hordes like a zombie suvival video game. That's why I think travelling would be the best idea, or to find a desolate island.

sorry, about 100 years like I said. That's what makes it's lifespan so long, because it completely erases all decomposers from the equation.

Now you make sense.

That's a darn little amount of nutrition it needs.

Btw, I just watched Resident Evil: Apocalypse for the first time. Fascinating virus~

oddly enough, I don't know too much about the G or the T-virus. What do they do?
It really does need almost no nutrients, but it gets alot of it's other nutrients from all the crap it picks up on it's travels. Mosquito's choose not to attack the body for some reason, probably because of the blood being non existent or crystallized (after a super long period of time) and since it takes out the decomposers and the parasites "spawn" as I call tehm (the little shells over all cells) take out any possible threat to the parasite, so it has a pretty solid Defence system as far as illness and disease.
aww, I gotta go schooling now.

I am still not rather glad about your virus, Thoad. Parasites does not actually kill their hosts, because, that would ruin themselves, and a parasite actually controlling the host (or food)... It is too darn intelligent to me. Maybe it is just because I have a hard time making sense of it (I know it is science fiction and all, but the science part would be nice if it was correct).
Reanimation would not be really hard, actually, though the things I have been thinking of is not really dead meat. Or, of course, it could be.
To make any body work, we need electrical impulses, which should not be hard to get, as most of them are made from chemicals.
Another way is to kill most of the consciousness, the body stays alive, but there is no mind left, probably only instinkts. If we imply drugs that force on aggression, like adrenalin (enough will make you aggressive), your virus would work all fine, actually.
Also, your parasite seem to be easy to kill, as puncturing the lungs would kill it too.

Hmm, does anyone know the battlehammer? Or ice picke (something)? Rather nice weapon, and it does a great amount of damage. Sadly it is a close range weapon, which would make it last resort.

At that point it will no longer be able to move, will it? Oxygen required to make muscles work, yes?

And the T virus reanimates the dead cells. It made the creator of the virus's daughter able to walk again... But it got out of hand, and to a point where it became a disease, that attacked the living cells to replace them with reanimated ones... Or something like that, I'm really too tired to make sense right now.

it is fairly easy to kill, but if the outbreak were to happen, I'm sure someone would be breaking a skull rather than puncturing a lung, or just plain running the fraker cracker away (yeah, I just said fraker cracker). So I think it would be a couple of weeks before anyone were to think it through and see my viruses weaknesses and strengths. Plus, the only reason it was a weak virus is because I wanted it to be as scientifically possible as science-fiction can get. You have a point about control, but technically, it is still alive, but just barely. Remember, it re-activates the brain. So in a way, I took your advice of drugging the host, but the host goes into cardiac arrest, blood stops flowing, just enough so the brain can get what it needs (from the virus) and it has full control. It is a pretty smart virus, but there was some bugs in project Anthemia. This is an evolutionary state, so it still has room to evolve.

P.S. In cryptozoology, (kript-o-zoo-ol-ogee...I think XD) several parasites can control their hosts, though none have actually been proven.
P.P.S. Cryptozoology is the study of animals seen but not totally proven by science, I.E. nessie, sasquatch, Takira Adamada, and the "lizard man".

yep, then they are like a shark on a beach, attacking anything close. The way the virus totally controls is both with the brain and something of a skeleton of it's own. I'm working on the drawing, so it'll be eaisier to take it from there.

P.S. sorry for the dble post ^^;

And dragons. I knew that term, though.
Those parasites I know of would not try and kill the host, because it is easier just jo hang along and get fed like that. Like the mistletoe (that wicked plant!!!!11!one!!), though it often kill the plant after some time, or ivy that chokes its host.
I still need to make sense of your virus, but it will probably come along.
As for the punctured lung, well... Not that effective when it come to that parasite, but when it comes to the early states of the hunger virus, it would be rather effective. Also, the battlehammer can crush/puncture the skull easily, so~

Anyway, should I reality check my virus, or did you want to?

Ok, all this like.....info stuff comening out of thoad and cen is hurting me...

Anyhow, I was running out of time when I was makeing that response to thoads scenario.


And as for the new people trying to get in...

If you try and make it in, complete sentences, a good attempt at good grammer, and an overall un-spammy attidtude is requierd.
