Welcome, Veterans and newcomers! This is the reconstruction of The Zombie Survival Club.
First off, I'll introduce you to some of our staff.
-SkaterKidWhoPwns- This is the guy who is my 2nd in command. If you cannot get to me, go to him and he'll answer questions/comments/concerns.
...We have no other staff? Well then.
READ THE RULES. IF YOU DO NOT IT'S LIKELY YOU'RE NOT GETTING IN.
1. Do not ask "Can I join?" or any other variation of that comment. (instructions on how to join will come soon)
2. Do not make a "Scenario" (will be explained later) unless you are a member.
3. Don't be stupid, use logic and think as if you were in the actual situation. OF course it's unlikely that it will happen, but we ask that all visitors and members be serious and literate.
4. Do not question mod or my/skater's authority (unless a mod directly opposes it)
5. No overly smart-*ss comments against other members, visitors, or your superiors.
6. Do not make a Virus until you are a member. The sheet for making a virus will be given to you upon asking me or skater.
7. DO NOT. ABSOLUTELY NOT, ASK "CAN I JOIN?". I cannot stress this enough.
Now that all the rules are over with, I'll go over some Jargons (slang terms relating to "work" that we use here.
Scenario - This is a term we use for a situation that is meant to test the user (as well as give you something to do). These are non-linear, and are generally Hypotheticals. Any MEMBER can make a scenario. Scenarios are generally matched with a previous story/situation and they give the supplies you have on hand. As well as the supplies near you. There's also generally a map that goes with it.
Virus, Parasite, Infection - These are the general types of a zombie virus. If there is not a previous virus that is mentioned before a virus or a plan, it is automatically changed to the current dominant virus (Goliath). Goliath will be explained later in the OP.
Zed - Is the common nickname for Zombie. I.E. "Yo dude I just shot up some Zeds!" Or: "Gah! That d**n ZED bit me!"
Well that's it for the terminology! Here's the dominant virus. It's gone through plenty of tweaking, and I think it's pretty much the most realistic virus in the club (aside from hungers). If no other virus is specified before a Scenario or a plan, this is the virus to be used.
Name - Goliath Syndrome
Type - Parasite
Speed - Leisurely walking speed (2-4 MPH)
Sounds - A mild groan, much like a man/woman in pain. No screaming comes from the virus.
Infection - Infection comes from the cells. If so much as a skin cell gets into you, you'll be quickly infected (aprox. 10-160 minutes, depending on strength and immune system of the user). It contracts a lot like AIDS, but it can be ANY cell, be it secretion or meat.
Hunting - It hunts by smell and hearing. It can't see that well, but strong light in the dark will attract it. Best time to attack one is in the daytime. They can't see in detail but they can see blurry instances of light, I.E., a fire or a flashlight.
Other - Cannot swim. Cannot fly, cannot run, cannot climb.
Believability Factor - Goliath was made in a lab (Codename: Anthemia, which is a prototype of the virus. Can also be used for begginers). It hyper-evolved and infected a rat. THe rat got out and began to infect humans (as well as certain birds, causing the infection to be worldwide). What the parasite does is: It enters the body as an infected cell. From there, it infects all the other cells, coating them in a secretion that fends off any form of decomposer (In short, it makes the immune system of the host really powerful). Then, it randomly selects a cell in the body (it is generally a cell in the torso). It grows to about the size of a human heart. IT then crawls it's way into the brain. IT preforms a lobotomy and hooks into the brain, feeding it with a steady flow of required nutrients and oxygen. It shuts down all other systems besides the lungs and flushes out the blood in the body (the parasite provides the necessities for living brain), and spreads long, muscular tentacles across the zombie's body, becoming a puppeteer. The parasite feeds by slowly eating the host. IT'll take a couple of decades in order for the parasite to starve/suffocate.
Best ways to kill it - A shot to the head, killing either the parasite or the brain. A punctured lung will also kill it, but it'd take a couple of minutes for it to actually die.
How to become a member
First off, you need to make a plan. You have everything you would at home. IT would happen the moment you are typing up the answer. So if it happens at night, then it happened at night, happened at day, it happened at day. For the sake of not-cheating, we'll use AG time.
Then, you have to answer a Scenario. The Scenarios come every couple of pages.
Wait for Both the Plan and the Scenario to be graded. Each member has their own form of grading. Once it's been passed around me and Skater will figure out whether or not to let you in.
If you are not initially let in, do not be disheartened! You have unlimited tries to enter, and all members (should) give you tips to get a better plan.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why the hell am I doing this?
Reasons vary. Some people in the club do think the Zompocolypse would actually happen, and some people (like myself) do it for fun and practice for writing. Others do it because they just like killing and surviving zombies, while keeping it pretty realistic.
Can I make a Virus?
Sure, if you give me a comment on my page I'll be happy to give you the layout for the virus.
Can I Join?
Scroll up and read the OP. Do it.
Can I make a Scenario?
If you are a member, sure. Just make sure it's somewhat realistic. There are no real parameters for it, it just has to be a situation. Try and make it hard, too.
I think that's pretty much it! There are a couple of tiddly bits for you guys, though:
Titles/Ranks - A title or a "rank" will be given to you if you do something outstandingly awesome, stupid, weird, or just plain out there while still keeping it realistic. For a list of the ranks/titles, visit my page.
Members - A list of the members can be found on either my, or skater's page.
Discussion - Discussions will be held every now and again, as a stand-in for a Scenario. There will be a topic in BOLD (BOLD, MEMBERS) to let you know what the Discussion is about.
and that is pretty much it.
Now then, have fun everyone!

First: I want to know what POSSIBLE use the AXE flamethrower or the 9mm pistol have.
Second: You only mentioned the weapons, is there anything in the immediate area that can be used? Such as a bicycle?
Sorry for teh double, but you don't have to answer the first one if you don't want to, bacobit.

No use at all
As for the later...
Your house has mist., outside there is a Beaten and worn bmx bike that is held together by duct tape and super glue.
Alright...
I stick the spear facing forward in the duct tape cross-sections of the BMX bike. I grab the crowbar and pedal down to the SZ as fast as I can. If my bike breaks, then I'll run the rest of the way to the SZ. Hopefully, I can run that far that fast. I wasn't the best at running, but adrenaline and berzerker blood will solve that problem...
You two.
Your both members now right? Well you guys gotta calm down. I'm glad to see your both making scenarios, and stuff, but try and keep them as realistic as possible. Your not gonna find 300 goliaths in one base, or 60 people so close together. And since when would they have a toxic gas pouring into the city?
Calm down, and think your scenarios, and your replys through.
Any ways, I have a new foundness for shot guns. While I'm not saying there good to use on zombies, deffinatly take them along if you have them, for hunting, and if need be zombie killing.
If you have deer slugs (pretty much a rifle round in a shutgun casing) your gonna have a rifle essentially.
So yea, if you have one take it, but don't go looking for one.
And since when would they have a toxic gas pouring into the city?
*Flamable gas
Saw it in "28 Weeks Later"

I see my information has swayed you ._.
xD
Saw it in "28 Weeks Later"
I thought it was 28 days later?
And he makes a point, if they were going to dispose of an infested city they would simply nuke the area. Unless it's manhattan, they'd nuke the bridge to contain a population. Flammable gas wouldn't be the main thing they'd do. But if anywthing, I'd keep a way to have the lighter going all the time and then just throw it into the gas, getting rid of most of it while I'm still safely outside the zone. Which is ANOTHER reason why they wouldn't do it. If you wanna do something similar, just name a time until the city is nuked out.
Though I like the amount of difficulty. Though skater has a very good poitn with the 300+ goliaths in the area, as well as 20+ survivors. Unless this was several decades in the future when humanity would start rebuildings, I kindly ask that you keep survivor levels to be about ... .003 per square mile. Meaning, at most you'd see clumps of 2-5 survivors. It depends on where they are as well.
For instance, if it's a schoolyard you'd likely meet some kids with melee weapons (likely high school).
Also, for the sake of not wanting cops on us, I think we should keep very small children as far as possible from scenarios. Though I haven't even mentioned them yet in this thread, try to make sur ethere are now child zombies in your scenarios, simply because I, again, don't want authorities coming in and saying: "HAY. THAT NOT PG-13 DANGIT"
I thought it was 28 days later?
Yes, but the seuquel is called "28 Week later." London, or someplace of that sort, starts rebuilding and-well I'm not going to give any more away than that, you'll just have to see it.
Well if they knew that the area was filled with a decent number of survivors, they might not ignite it immdiately, and give them a fair amount of time to evacuate. Or better yet, send in EVAC Heli's. Unlikely though.
Just prepare to smell like sh*t, or worse.
Use Scent-Lok. Its essentially hunting clothing, that magically blocks your scent. It cost a bit more, but...
And am I in, or what? I havnt seen/recieved anything about it, so...
Yeah.

If you really wanna know, just look at my page and if your name is there, you're in.
My name still isn't there -.-
Going back to the subject of Zombies...
Scenario
You're living in the back of a truck, with high sides, and your running very low on Gas and the city you're in is infested with walking corpses. You look out the window and see a Gas Station. There's around 5-6 looters, all with military grade weapons, along with a makeshift wall around the Station, Aprox. 7 ft high. It looks like it could be knocked down pretty easily. Zombies are constantly banging againsed your truck, and there's a huge horde around the Gas Station.
WEAPONS
Baseball bat
1 Moltolv Cocktail
9mm Pistol 7 rounds
Various Kichen knives
DANGERS
!5-6 Looters with Military grade Weapons!
!Many Zombies!
!7 ft Wall!
!Low on gas!
USEFUL THINGS ABOUT YOUR AREA
Micky D's across the street from station
Lighter in your front seat
Book of matches
Road flare
Good Luck
If you really wanna know, just look at my page and if your name is there, you're in.
Darn it >
Oh well. I guess i should make a new one. Oh and Babobit i think you should include a map with your Scenario....

Sorry, I'm posting-images Impared
2. Do not make a "Scenario" (will be explained later) unless you are a member.
Ahem*
If you gys want a scenario so bad I'l make one in a lil bit, about to eat dinner with family so cant atm.
Use Scent-Lok. Its essentially hunting clothing, that magically blocks your scent. It cost a bit more, but...
it only cost's more if yo buy it before the outbreak, afterwards, its free :P
Now I would like to bring somethign to the Senior members attention, this would not include myself as far as I know, im still a novice/veteran but not as expierienced as others. but anywaaayyys
Say its been awhile after everything happened, i mean like, quite awhile, What would be good forms of currency, if this did happen, im sure certain items and commodies would be more valuable after awhile, I.E. solar pannels, rechargable batteries. water puroifiers, just random stuff like that. or crank powerd devices. you see what im getting at now? stuff like ammo, or a reloader even. maybe smaller stuff liek flints, strong rope.
what items would be good for barganing with pother survivors provided you dont kill them or vis versa
