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!

So I would wait in my attic for its very hard for anyone to know where the entrance to it is in my house. I could wait there till I recieve extra help or see surivals. In my attic there a vent which lets in air so I could sit there and have a clear view of everything coming towards my house.

Google, I'm sorry but your plan is extremely BAD. IT'S TERRIBLE. First of all, I'm just going to put one thing that considerably concerned me:

I'd then have to kill all my family members ... see if my neighbors are infected yet. If they were I'd have to kill them too

Umm, does this mean that you'd kill all your family members just because? If so, that's a bit sadistic, dude. If it isn't, try to word your sentences better....

Next, Pizza's are TERRIBLE for your health, no matter how much onion you put on it, your going to be fat and then there's several different zombies running at you trying to eat your face. Not a good idea for pizza's, if anything, take frozen veggies and canned foods.

Also, that's a bad thought of you saying zombies won't be able to get you because your secluded. Nowhere is safe, not even the grand canyon. Sure it'd dull out the time a bit, and I'd also like to point out that if the zombies didn't get to you yet, how would your family and neighboors be infected?

I give it a solid 3/10. It's pretty bad, F.

Cen, the kind of attic he is decsribeing wouldn't have any windows. It has a pull down stair case, I have never been in one of them with windos.

Thaod, thanks for takeing one of those off my hands.

As I said, a note. I still think it is a crappy plan. But it could work is it had windows and a way to enter and exit through it.

Google, no. You will die. Fast.

orry as I said I'm kinda bad at this. I meant to say if my family wasn't infected we'd all go check out the neighboorhood and then tell the neighboors what we should do and hw long that we have till they come. Seriouslly I would never kill my family. Sorry.

Termi - What Skater said, basically. Going out to sea isn't the best idea, if you want to avoid zombies by using water as a barrier, fresh water is a better bet by a huge margin. The ATTIC, while not hooked on drugs, like an addict, seems a sound place to whole up, if you are starting out in your house. Plus the method of getting in and out seems suitable complex. Curious, this thingy you use to open it, would it work if you were locked on the inside, or does it have to be used from the outside? COuld be a problem, if so.
I'm not sure about the smelling you thing, do zombies do that? I know they smell bad, but do they smell really good, too? Also to day/night option is a tough one. Personally I would opt for the day. It's more important for me to see them fare away, then it is for me to hide in shadows, and not see one of them. I think Skaters C is about right.
As to the window thing, almost every attic I have been in had a small window, but it wasn't enough to really ventilate the area. They are always hot and muggy. Better then being eaten by zombies though.

CrimsonBlade - yes, it is rather scary, not simply for zombies, but for things like the bird flu as well.

Skater - Well, I have to give you high marks for making an effort, but I'm not really sure that it counts as a plan. Are you going to hole up in the tunnels, are head back towards France, and the zombies? Are you deserting the others, or bringing them along, or sorting thru them for the most useful, and hope to be able to leave the rest behind? These are things a plan should address.

Google - I actually think Pizza's are pretty healthy, (all four food groups in every bite!) but they are still a bad choice as they really need to be cooked to eat. In addition any food that needs to be frozen is also the kind of food that goes bad when it's not frozen.
I'm also uncertain about all the killing, I doubt it would be as easy to do as you might imagine, but even worse, you might be killing off useful resources, people with skills, etc.
So, for a better plan, list the skills these people have in your neighbor hood, and think long term, how would you survive a month, six months, even a year, by which time stored water and food would be gone.

Scenario, the next

Okay, except for Skater, the rest of you FAILED my last scenario, and yes, that includes you Thoad! Make up exams are available however. Mega-kudo's to Skater though for discovering supplies, and a back up side tunnel.

So...

You're working graveyard shift (how appropriate) at Toys-R-Us when the virus begins! You are at ground zero, and even worse, the rest of your shift called in 'sick' to go to a late night Rob Zombie concert! (The coincidences are spooky!)
You do have a radio, and a police scanner, and you learn that the virus apparently erupted at that concert, meaning your significant other, Chris, is most likely a zombie already...

You have the supplies in the store to work with

http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=2255956

so I better be able to find your resources in the catalog.

For this scenario, your parents are out camping in their RV, and are well stocked with weapons and ammo, as Dad likes to hunt, but it's going to take them at least a week to get to you.

You can count on cell reception for most of that week, but if you want to use your CB radio, (which they also have) you will have to risk dashing out to your car to snag it, and there are already shadowy figures in the parking lot, that may or may not be zombies.

Come on, this one is CHILD'S PLAY!

hehehe...

Hey, I did not even get to read the scenario, how can I fail it!

Hmm.. *tries to remember how Toys'R'Us looks like*
They have candies.
And... Those, uhm... stuffed toys to sleep on... Usually "spy" stuff as well, and computer stuff like webcams and toy computers... So those and the "spy" stuff is probably usuable...
And... Nothing good for defending... I might need to come back to this.

*Writes in blood "I AM SO F*CKED"*
*holds chin*
*writes "Hey, it's okay to be f*cked" beside it*

Yyyyeeeaaah.


You know? I had a dream about being in a toysRus with a bunch of "The Flood" around, so I think I might do fairly well this time.

First of all, my concionse will kick my arse making my time surviving the actual zombies a biznitch if I don't save my mum and dad. You'll be AMAZED at what ownage you can pull with nothing but a few toys. First of all, I'd take one of those remote control raptors (I think they still sell those at ToysRUs) and strop-on (:3) some lunchmeat from whatever lunch I had for the nightshift, and set it out into the bac. Since Goliaths have great hearing ability, they'd go after something screaming rather than some light footsteps. Going to my car, I'd nab the CB radio, baricade the main door, and then tell my mother and father of the current situation.
I'd leave 1 door not heavily barricaded. That's the door I would tell my mother to enter. After I heavily barricade all entrences except for that one (most likely the back) I would take a flashlight. After taking the flashlight (newly opened with batteries) I'd turn off the generator, not attracting any more goliaths than possible. There's always a back room, and I'd go in there to contact mumsy and dad through CB radio. On the way to the back room I'd take any airsoft guns if they sell them, as they are something, and if not, I'll take an aluminum baseball bat, then find some sort of sharp inplement duct-taped to the end of it.
Sharp object would preferably be a small part ripped off any type of toy. I've made several deadly implements through toys. *looks at death drawer in closet* yyyyyeaahhhh. Also, I never leave home without a pocketknife, so I can cut a piece of plastic into a crude stabbing implement. If my parents make it to my position, I'd hole up there with my makeshift stabberbats. Once they get through the door, I'd also heavily barricade it, and further barricade the other entrences with the huge unfastened shelves of ToysRUs. Once it passes about a week, when most of the chaos in my position has dulled out, I would try taking the car, and get out when needed.

I hope I get a good grade...off to the MW.

Hey hey hey, not my plan, just trying to figure out something!
And I saw the link, I was trying to remember how the shop itself looks like.
But fine...
*looks at link, gets really tired*
Rather Faetter BR...
Why does all kinds of toys need to suck these days.
Net from trampoline, poles from swingset for defence. Hmm, nice a pitching machine with bat. I wonder if it will be good enough. The skateboards are probably good for traps, as well as marbles. Good old trip traps.
What it is worse, I might not want to think too much of how to defend myself as much as getting a safe place to be in general. And I still cannot remember how the shelfs are place, how tall they are, and if it would be possible to camp on top of them, using nets, poles and sleeping bags to make a nest. Darn unsafe, but the shelfs should be able to hold it, and usuing enough poles for batminton nets and so, as well as a good deel of nets that is checked up on every day, it should hold fine.
And it will take them some time to get in anyway. Sadly candy is not great food...

I seem to be too tired.. Not the good kind of hyper logic tired, more like low logic tired...
Oh well...

good plan cen, but I think they actually have tents at toysRus. The shelves go somewhere to half up to the ceiling, and are freakin' HUGE. Not sure if you could make the camp in time though.

Also, you forgot about the issue with the CB radio and your parents...

Yeah, pretty fail. Though I think there will be time for making the camp, as it would be like barracading a mall or something. A day or two, max.
I am not sure what I need a tent for, though.

Yeah, not sure if I would risk the cb radio, mainly because there is enough to do with the camp and barricades, and if I got my cell, I should be able to call my parents, right?

But yes, pretty fail, keep failing as well. Tired..

well even though I am too lazy to write a fully thought out plan right now.A few ideas would be to go into the back of the store where they store everything and grab a box cutter as a weapon.Then grab a wooden bat as another one,and make a run for my car before more "mysterious figures" start to surround the store.Run back fighting my way through the best I can,and grab some of that cheap spy gear.Put up trip lines,and one of the surveillance cameras that you can see through a pair of sun glasses or whatever,to keep and eye on the doors in the front after I have barricade it to the best of my ability with shopping carts.I would grabbed marbles and throw them all over the front of the store,along with whatever else I can find to make the zombies trip.Then I will go back to the back of the store and find anything else I can use as a weapon,such as possible a stapler gun,and then fortify myself in that section of the store.

as a note:Seeing as how I worked at the store I would think I would have access to that part of the store.
