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!

But once you realise the truth, stab her with a scalple to the head, and beat her with an oxygen cylinder...

What would the medical staff not say. What are the chances of them looking at you after you smashed the head of your mom, and say "Good call, kid"?
Might not be the only infected, but the first you have the knowledge of (when you get the knowledge)...

I'd say for one that you would be screwed.

There is not enough room to move in the back of an ambulance, nothing that would be an effective weapon.

But! I bet she would have an oxygen mask on, which would prevent her from biting you until it was knocked off somehow. Also, there is no chance that you would be alone with her back there. There would be at least one staff member back there with you, making sure she was fine.

So chances are that she would come back, the staff member would check her and possibly get bitten. All that yelling and bleeding and such would cause the ambulance to stop and pull over to see what all the ruckus was about. It is likely that your mother would be subdued and strapped down, injured staff attended to and such, and potentially 2-4 infected being brought back to the hospital.

Cut your losses, get the hell out of the ambulance, get somewhere secure to make plans and do not go anywhere near the hospital. It will be over run in two hours at most.

Best bet right there.

Crap, that's a tough call, considering that I had no idea if she was a zombie or not.

Basically, in a situation like that you're automatically labeled "Dude, you're so screwed, you should be a lightbulb". I'm really not sure what I'd do, but the first thoughts would definitely be "Mom! You're alive!". When she eventually tries to bite me/strangle me, I'd probably scalpel her eye if the paramedics didn't help.

Or, if the flatline was still going when she re-animated (since I think hunger/anthemia/goliath doesn't re-animate the heart), I'd probably try and break the grip out of freight. Since we all know that unless I'm angry, I can keep a cool head when in stressful situations. Most of the time at least.

Once the groan start and she attacks the paramedics, I'd probably break her out of it, considering that I made the club and know zombies pretty well. So yeah. Then I'd pursue to scalpeling her face, or unlock the back of the paramedic vehicle and tuck and roll.

O, yeah......so with the ambulance, if you did kill your mom, using her, and the bed she would be on to soften the fall out of the back of the ambulance would help alot......

Last thing I'd want to do right there: Ride out of a moving ambulance on my dead zombie mom. Mainly because you couldn't kill her. Have any of you even seen the back of an ambulance? No?

I doubt that most amublances these days even have scalpels. You do not operate in the back of an ambulance, you stabilize people. Yet, if for some reason they did they would not just be laying around. They would be secured in some drawer. And I doubt you would be able to find one while going "OMG mom zombie!"

Ah, I love when scenarios make people think!

And ambulances have no space to do anything at all, no. Least of all kill your mother.
I know people say that it would be hard, but sure they could kill their family if needed. I highly doubt that you would be able to do so. Just think of how hard it is to got to the vet and get your pet put to sleep? Now, imagine that you should kill that pet with your own hands. And multiply it a number of times.

Escaping would probably be the right and only choice.

Yes, I am not sure how much room you think you would need though, just raise it up, and bring it down...thats all.

hrm, scalple or none, pxygen cylinders, which are often times secured to the walls by velcroe or a nothing sort of strap, could be easily lifted.

3 words everyone: Tuck and roll!

Escape really is the only option skater, there's pretty much no hope of killing your undead mother. I mean, your emotions would get in the way and there isn't much you could do until she bites you. Which brings me to my next point:

She has a tight grip of our arm, how are we gonna get away from it? Goliath's are slow, but it'd take nothing short of a few seconds before she lashes out at you.

To survive zombies, all you need is a shotgun, and flamethrower. Any high powered rifle is useless because the bullets would just punch through the zombies. Since they are already dead, this will be pretty useless.

Maybe the use of microwaves (in a gun form) could help too >.>

Ohk, dude. Despite all the video games and what everyone says, FLAMETHROWERS AND SHOTGUNS ARE BAD! For one, unless you have a 20k slug in your pocket, you're not gonna be able to hit a zombie fer crap. You wanna stay AWAY from zombies, not get in their face and shoot them in the head. Second of all, flamethrowers are possibly the WORST thing to bring on a zombie killing spree. Hell, zombie killing sprees will actually get YOU killed. Flamethrowers don't set flesh on fire instantly, unlike video games. Plus, flamethrowers aren't gonna make the zombies suddenly stop and die. They don't have life bars! What they're gonna do is continue to burn, feel nothing, and then what do you have? A FLAMING zombie trying to kill you. Not good, dude.

Maybe the use of microwaves (in a gun form) could help too >.>

If you could find one, be more than happy to. I'd expect that to be in the middle of roswell, or something. Seriously dude. No.

there are hypodermic needles and lots of tubes (for the IV drip).

sorry didn't know that constituted as spam.

so hopefully this will not be considered spam (lunch meats...)

Since you beat my other idea down, and after reading a book called the zombie survival guide, I have decided to give another go.

I agree that the shotgun would be too noisy and it will lose power with distance.

so a handgun:
When it comes to handguns, I would assume weight is important. The smaller the rounds less it will weigh. However, it is important to consider that while a handgun cartridge is overall shorter than a rifle cartridge, they are often denser. And I guess you'll have to take into account how plentiful ammunition is. The .38 Special/ .357 Magnum is plentiful and light weight making it a spectacular handgun for minute defense (in my opinion).

I would also assume you need a CQC weapon just in case you have run out of bullets. I'm guessing you need a light weight and long weapon, Claymores reach about 6 feet long but are extremely heavy (2 handed sword, 10-15 pounds) but Katanas are around 5 pounds in weight for a 4 foot blade and 1 foot hilt. Swords would be better than a bludgeon weapon in my opinion because it can render a zombie immobile, leaving time for you to run.

A good place to barricade would probably be sports authorities. I've read walmart on the previous thread, but I think that would be implausible because of lack of ammunition/guns, sports authority is better, because not only does it offer camping supplies, camping foods, ration packs, but it also offers a wide variety of guns.

equipment to prepare for Z-day:
.38 magnum:130-150 dollars (moderately expensive)
folded steel katana: 60-100 dollars
box of 400 .38 rounds: 40 dollars

and the food is free at sports authority because everyone will hopefully be a zombie and not give a damn about making you pay.

Nah, it's not spam at all, it's just that you had the stereotypes of zombie survival, when it's far from the case. Using those weapons would get you killed fast. Hence why if there is an outbreak, people are gonna try and use those tactics and die.

Really, I don't see a plan, but instead a supply list.

When you're thinking of your survival, here's some tips and good ideas:

If you're in nevada, the Grand Canyon is a good place to go, it has huge streams, rivers, and is a reliable rain-bucket. Also, if you have your shelter backed up to some sort of wall, or even if you sleep in the abandoned native american caves, it'll keep from zombies gettin' to ya. Also, if you spread your scent around the bottom of the crevice, zombies will just start walking into the canyon, falling and breaking into pieces.

Guns aren't a necessity, in fact most users (such as myself) prefer to use a CQC weapon, and try and stay as far away from zombies as possible.

Also, try and stay in your house for about 2 weeks, so the virus can die down and the riots/chaos won't be able to kill you.

Barricades are important if you're gonna hunker down in your home, so use couches, shelves, and books. Everything that isn't necessary for survival.

I also don't recommend staying in 1 place for more than 2 weeks, unless you have a solid defense and a panic room, as well as an emergency escape.

So, I got a question, If you have all of the supplies in your house already, how would zombies go into your house? Can they think?

Don't play zombie games, I only read the "zombie survival guide" published by max books.

But really how will zombies know you are there? :|

and wouldn't you want to stay in a place where the zombies will be focused through one point? (hot gates from 300 the movie)

I need moar data and information.
