My plan might be a total facepalm, i hope not, but it probably will be. It's a little long.

All right, here is my plan for what I would do if I woke up in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. In my plan I am assuming that I know there is a zombie apocalypse as soon as I wake up, so I donât need to meet one to realize it.

After getting out of bed I would be alone in my room; my family would be somewhere in the house, all zombiefied. In my room I would initially grab the most dangerous thing in my room, which at the moment is a heavy blunt French horn. (Hopefully I could also use sound to disorient the zombies, it can be quite loud. Note: The sound would attract zombies, so never mind.) I would probably also grab a light t-shirt that I could throw at their faces, temporarily blinding them. I would stalk around the house looking for them, ditching the French horn as soon as I found better makeshift weapon. Whenever I encountered a family member I would throw the t-shirt at their faces and bash them with whatever weapon I was carrying. If I encountered them as a group they would probably be feasting on my dog and would not notice me, if this were the case I would gather multiple blunt objects to throw at them, if worst came to worst, I could make a Molotov cocktail an put it out with a fire extinguisher.

After making sure my house was zombie free, I would find as many canned non perishable food items as I could and stick them in duffle bags and backpacks, along with multiple water bottles and any miscellaneous items I could find. Now, at this point I am lucky because my neighbour is in a military band, this means 2 things. 1: He has a standard issue rifle, and 2: He is currently away on tour. It would be very easy to sneak into his house and quickly grab the rifle and ammo, depending on how much time I had, I would raid his house supplies too. I would load up my supplies into my minivan, along with my bicycle, gas tanks we have in our garage and possibly a chainsaw. (Canât have a zombie apocalypse without a chainsaw :P) If I had time or felt reckless enough, I would stop off at another neighbour, a few streets away from me who is also in the military band and take her weapon, ammo and possibly supplies.

I would then drive away, to my nice little rural cottage, no one is around there in the winter, so there would be no zombies except a little town (pop: 100) about a mile away. (This is getting to be a lot like SKWPâs first plan, this is purely unintentional.) Including the surrounding cottages, I have enough firewood to last for a few years, and I have all the tools I need, along with gas and any small mechanical parts. We have our own generator, so power isnât an issue. Many of the surrounding cottages also keep a gun or two stored, ranging from a pistol, to shotgun, to rifle, so I have plenty of ammo and whatnot. I can hole up here until I am ready to head a bit more south, where there is a small port. I can get to the port via motor boat, which I have at my cottage. I can drive my motor boat (loaded up with supplies and lots of gas) to the port, where I can transfer everything to a bigger and faster boat. I could do this from the safety of the water. I would load up the larger boat with gas, weaponry, food, water, an axe, a bow, a knife and knife sharpener (for fletching arrows) and other rudimentary useful tools. I would actually be able to take several trips delivering supplies onto the bigger boat. I would soon set off, driving the large fast boat to Sable Island, a pretty large island off the coast of Nova Scotia (where I live). Itâs only inhabitants are two scientists studying this island. If the virus has spread there somehow, then I would kill the residents and live my life on Sable Island, eating wild game that I killed with my bow and fletched arrow, drinking rainwater. (The island is known to be quite stormy, so there will be no shortages.) If the virus hasnât spread there, then I have to people to live the rest of my life with.

I would go down stairs and grab my .22 and my 20 gauge, yes I do own them. Then if my family is already zombified I would blow them all away with the twenty gauge. Then I would raid the pantry for goods that keep for a long time. I would proceed to fill up a back pack with these goods. Then I would go to my barn and get the machette and hatchet. Go back to the house and fill up the rest of the back pack with ammo. Grab a duffel and fill it with the guns. Then I would go and kill all my neighbors out of mercy (they are all seniors). they live a good distance away so I would not have to worry about them sneaking up on me. I then would get in my (parents) car and drve north, and do as my last few plans have said, and survive for as long as possible.

What happens if you meet your family on the way down the stairs?

haku, what don't you understand? I iwll awnser anything you may be wondering to the best of my abillity.

I don't understand what is this, game or what?

Mkay, let's see here. The first part of your plan has a few holes but it otherwise solid. For example, blunt objects such a French Horn or other bludgeons that are household items and aren't typically thought of as weapons are... well, useless. Taking the time to shatter a human skull and totally destroy the brain with something such a French Horn would be a bit of work. Also, the T Shirt wouldn't do much, they would still stalk after you, blinded or otherwise, although to your credit they wouldn't be as effective. And that Molotov wouldn't deter a zombie in the slightest, and by the time it took to completely burn the zombie(s) your house would have set fire. So if you put it out before then, it would be a waste.

The only real problem with this is the chainsaw. I hate to put a damper on the mood, but as much as we all love chainsaws, it's a terrible zombie killer. Stalls, catches, kickbacks, weight, and gas use alone make it god awful. Then there's noise. Used for shredding the walking dead or otherwise, the noise will attract nearby zombies right to your location. Ding ding ding, dinner is served. Other than that, though, a solid plan.

Hmmm. I like the idea of the cottage, but odds are your vehicle will draw some zombies from the town you may have passed towards your location. The chances of that are rather low, but still possible.

And you may have firewood to last years, but what about your food? You've only raided 3 houses, including your own, and whatever the nearby (zombie infested) village contains. Providing you come back from that raid uninjured, you have food to last for, if rationed correctly, anywhere from a few weeks to 1 - 2 months, maximum.

Plus, before setting off for the trip to your new home, you have some things to consider, such as means of rescue. If there are any humans left, how will they find you? You and your (possibly zombified) scientists are on that island without means of contacting the outside world.

And you need shelter, you should've thought to bring supplies. 2x4s, nails, a hammer, etc. Even basic supplies would help you greatly. Other than that, your plan has an average\\decent chance of letting you live.

Alrighty, thanks for elaborating, much better.

Ok, schockwave, who the hell are you? Why did you jsut come in here and do a members job? Not untill your a member.

The two who recently made plans. I will answer those when i have more time. Someone other then comrade want to make a scenario?

Ok! Ok!

Here's my scenario.

You live on a 100 acre farm out in the middle of Alaska. When the zombie invasion hits you are in town buying supplies for the next week. Then the grocer trys to eat you. What do you do?

Then the grocer trys to eat you. What do you do?

Presuming that there are no more than ten zombies; If I'm not mistaken the cash register is quite a handy machine...my first exploit would be to heave it at the grocer or, if possible, heave it onto his head, this should buy me ample time to collect my usable supplies (which I have already bought) and grab cans of fresh meat, a knife(if present) or a can opener.
Running frantically for the exit I'd strew the floor with the open meat while tactically dodging the more-than-frequent lunges at me with the use of the knife/can opener. Since, you're probably talking about an ideal grocery store, it wouldn't be more than three stories high, so I'd head for the fire exit and then make my quick get-a-way out of the building. Once out, I'd dash towards my vehicle, open it, pull out my hand-gun aim at any pursuing zombies, fire at them just to buy me sometime to start my vehicle and zip out of there.

It would have been better if you would've included more details for your scenario though, valkery. Just a thought.

Ok, schockwave, who the hell are you? Why did you jsut come in here and do a members job? Not untill your a member.

Schockwave, i over reacted, and apoloagize. Just plaesase make plan, as to where you owuld go, what you would, what you would you take, ect.

the plan should be as if you woke up to a zombie appopcalypse.

Valkery. Only members can make scenarios. You can not make them, you can only answer them (if you become a member you can make one)
