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!
Learn your facts before you call things unreal. personaly your the idiot. moron
Your funny. see we do this type of things to weed people like YOU out. If yo uwere to want and prove us wrong yo uwould link us somewere that would do that. And we would say thank you, give you a nice gold star, and move on.
But things like that keep you from gaining entry to the club.
um your an idiot. i will upload pictures if you want. we have electrified barb wire you twit. simply keep it from touching the wood/metal post with the insulators. and wrap a bit of electric ire to it. the charge is slightly reduced due to the grade of barb wire but it still can hurt like hell.
also, we hdo have a years supply or more.

Lol, I'm being incredibly nice just dignifying this with a reply.
-pics or it isn't true
-you can't judge how long a food supply will last just by looking at it
-it doesn't matter if it's electrified, since the Goliath virus can't feel pain
-you really would have a hard time putting in more contrived and cliched insults
Fail.
Anyway, me, thoad, and skater all deny you.

>:P
No-one answered my scenario . . . . *reposts it*
You're in your office building, working. Pushing papers. Booooooring. You're signing yet another piece of paperwork, when suddenly your boss bursts through the door, uglier than usual. He's groaning and moaning. Normal. You ask him what he came in for, but he doesn't answer. He slowly edges toward your desk, groaning more. You get a closer look - he's obviously infected with the Goliath Syndrome.
You have a metal & wood nametag on your desk, a bobblehead, a small garden, a stress toy, a few pens and pencils, a mug of hot coffee, a dry erase calendar on the back wall, a potted plant behind you, the spinny chair you're sitting in, and a half-eaten piece of meat lover's pizza from the freezer vending machine down in the basement. By the time you realize what happened to him, he's only a few feet in front of your desk.
Goal: Kick his ass and keep yourself alive in the process.
First, I'd kick him, then throw the tag into his face. I'd run out my cubicle (or office) and find one of my neighboor's office in order to get one of those note-pad things where you stick a note through a sharp spike in it. I'd grab that and pierce it through his eye, making a clean kill.
Aight, so here's what's going to happen. I'm not a member, but I'll answer anyways because your solutions seem flawed.
First of all, the last thing you want to do is get near him. Since you said that the desk is between the two of you, I'm assuming to are in an office as opposed to a cubicle, since the desk would never be in the middle of your cubicle. The first thing you need to do is distance him from you. Kick your desk over towards him or just slam it forwards if it's to heavy. This should knock him back or (hopefully) knock him over. Now, if you're on the first or second floor, while he's repelled, grab your chair, smash it through the window and jump. Aim for hedges. If you're a daring man you could jump from the third floor but that is highly ill advised. Now, if you have no window, the glass isn't breakable or you're on a high floor you're going to go past him. This poses a problem because 1. Offices are small, you're going to get REAL close to him 2. If he's infected and came in from the outside, chances are there are other infected outside 3. You have nothing that's lethal with you (no that one pound block of wood wouldn't do anything). Now in a perfect scenario, the desk will knock him over, he'll be sprawled on his back with his head in the door frame and you can crush his skull by slamming the door on it. Chances are that this won't happen. First, hit him with the desk as before. He's still going to be in your way. Go for his eyes with something. I suggest the coffee cup and pray that is breaks. If he's on the ground jump through into the office. If he's stumbling slam past and hope for the best. Maybe use a desk drawer as a makeshift shield. Now make a B-Line for the door, you don't want to meet anyone else who may want to snack on your brains. IF you are absolutely stuck and must fight I'd hit him with the desk then smack his head with the potted plant. If it's a small potted tree you could use that to jab at him when the pot breaks. If you get stuck you're pretty much f*cked though, your best bet is getting out and away.
after reading what Cen posted, I realized I wasn't very clear on all of the details about the 'Parasite' El Diablo. (Thank you for reminding me what that is by the way, I am having brain farts a lot lately.)
How does it do this? And why does the increased brain matter make the host more intelligent?
What it does, is it goes into the brain, and increases the thought process for the 'Host'. It slowly starts to increase the amount of brain power used by humans, from 10% of the brain, to near 60%. The reason is still unknown. (PS: I am going by what the 'Doctors' of the time have been able to figure out about the parasite, it is still a rather new one, with little to no knowledge about it.)
In what way? Humans are rather big beings, and the skin would have rather strong 'hairs' to do so, if it is based on the gecko.
The parasite has rather odd features to it, it is 5 different things, one for sure, is the Gecko, and the four others are still unknown, though many speculate that it is Spiders, Dragon Flies, Bot Flies, and Praying mantis'.
How come this does not affect the stomach of the victim?
It does, I just wasn't clear about. What it does is it retracts the stomach to the smallest possible, and then the fluid within the stomach becomes acidic. Though it is still unknown why, the parasite seems to make the insides of the 'host' become invulnerable to acid, and other chemicals. Though the chemicals they are immune to are still unknown.
"Changes the blood"? If you are talking virus still, and not parasite, it is quite possible for the virus to spread to the entire body, and thus the blood. A parasite could do the same thing by cloning itself and let the offspring live in the host body.
It's a parasite, I just couldn't think of the word.
Why?
The reason why the Parasite only infects women, is still unknown. (this time, its because I can't think of a reason why. My creative juices have been stunned lately...)
Soulhack, you still need to work with it quite a bit. It might be that zombies are not real, and thus you should be able to do whatever with the virus/parasite, but actually explaining what happens to the victim in a way that makes it believable would help you greatly in getting the parasite accepted when you are a member.
There is implied a certain kind of intelligence in your parasite, and it seems to have extraordinary powers when it comes to morphing the body, so it seems to me much more than a parasite. Normal parasite behavior: I need food. I need food for offspring.
So let me see. To start from the buttom: If the parasite only infected woman (aka, the can infect men, but the parasite will die too early, taking the host with it) it might be because of body fat. Most men does not have a lot of that, while woman kinda have to. This means the parasite lives off of fat for most parts. This also means that fat people can be infected too, but the chance of survival might be lessened due to the condition of the host. Anorectic are very likely to die with the parasite, and some men might end up immune to the parasite, but might get killed by the zombies anyway.
As mentioned, it simply infects the blood, yes?
One of those I am not really happy about. These body changes.... Anyway. I am not sure if you can affect the cells' way of making new cells, to make them faster, but if that was possible, it might be what is protecting the host stomach to an extent. Trouble is that spitting/vomiting the acid will, on a larger scale take an effect on the rest of the host. I am also not sure if this would be something a parasite would do, as it is "interested" in spreading its spawn one way or another.
Spiders, Dragon Flies, Bot Flies, and Praying mantis'.
So, besides the hairy skin, it has....? It could take great genetic mutations to make the host' skin grow little hairs, especially on the palms, as there is no hair there to begin with.
I wonder why the parasite would want to make the host more intelligent. If it is simply to enable it to merge with all parts of the brain, I guess. At least it end after the merging. And for the stronger part, I think you mentioned adding muscle fibres, which again is something that seem somewhat impossible. Instead, increasing the amount of adrenalin and increasing the heart rate might give the same effect...
And you should tell what you know, not what the doctors of that time knows, simply because there are too many questions in that, and your parasite will be ruled unfit in that case.
To answer a scenario? No. To make a scenario? Yes. To make a virus? Yes.
Plus, unlike other clubs, the reason why you must be a member is in order for there to be a reason to join. Dunno about you, but I wouldn't join a "club" where all you did was talk about zombies. This is a club, not a thread!
This is sad. your all upset simply because your logic is flawed. I really hope a virus does happen someday so that i can watch your sorry hides become infect and then i will be blessed with the pleasure of killing you ^^, that would be awesome...
but anways, im off to gather pictures and such.... Hope when your proven wrong you wont cry to much =/
and did you stop to think that. Electric current running through nerves in your body. Weather your zombie or not. Can destroy them if the voltage is high enough? no? didnt think so. Or how about, maybe its a dual purpose. To keep scavengers out and zombies.
but no, as usual yout hink yourselves to be gods and such your logic is flawed.
I think the best way to look a it is consider what would work on someone high on PCP. If it would bring them down then it should have some effect on a zombie.
OK, um....soulhcak. YOUR NOT A MEMBER! STOP WITH THAT YOUR VIRUS FOR NOW! THOAD SAID NOT TO POST IT HERE BUT TO EMAIL IT TO HIM!
....sorry.caps lock.
Any how. Possibleinsanity......please make a plan. Wether thoad likes it or not, you have a fairly decent knowledge of things.
OK, as for this scenario....I am not sure were my desk is, or if it is moveable, but i would try and get the desk between me and him. After that, my chair would be used to knock him down. The bottom of the chair (with the wheels and things) Would certainly do the job. there is nothign here to really kill him, so it's looking like getting out is gonna be my best bet. I would take the chair for smacking zombies (heaven forbid there were any) I would make a bee line for the stairs to the roof. From there I could easily defend my self. And could easily be rescued if need be.
