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!

the bat has more reach, and sine i have 2 guns might aswell use them both.
plan is, get friends to distract the zeds. get into room and i should be able to get a few killed before they even turn around.
the plan is, to let my friends know that after they hear a few gun shots, wait till its clear enough for them to come out, through the bat to them and il keep the machette, and ill shoot as many as i can slowly backing up, whent hey start getting too close ill use the machette and drop the colt, keep using the berreta. and by doing this, should wear them xombies down to only a few left.
I live in a weapon shack and i sleep by a Ak-47 the end....
Yeah, there's two and you can only shoot one in time for the other to rip your frikkin' neck out. Congratulations. You're dead.
Bjiscuit Nice plan but really if you think about it you just did the same thing skater did with a different way of usage...
But also if you think that you going to take on 30 zeds in a stair well you must be crazy they'd eat you alive especially if your going up against the Goliath zeds (<------t sure if that's the alternative zombie we use if non is named......thoad could you clarify for me about that?)
Ok ill help you out lil bit...you have 2 floors to your disposal the 2nd floor you came in at and the 3rd floor theirs a fire escape thats at the end of each hall, you have all this in your inventory
Cell phone
Titanium bat
Colt python
Beretta M9 9MM
Lighters
Machete
hey i just though of something.
Ok!
Get the zeds attention, run down the stair well, wait till i see or hear some getting near. climb up the fire escape to the next level, room empty of zeds, get friends, get the zeds to come back up here, climb down, then figure out a way to get outa the building....
Does the fire escape go up to the floor there on? For what ever reason I thought it didn't. Anyways, Ilike that idea. Of course they might not be great at getting back up the stairs, so you might just want to head down the fire escape, instead of getting the zombies to climb staris. They don't go down stairs, they kinda tumble down...
I infect the thread with Goliath Syndrome.
I wish to see a bit more from you guys!
By the way, the fire escape is likely the best idea.
so I know I've haven't been active in this thread at all lately.
well thats probably because I had classes/ and also getting my rifling license.
anyway my collection ranges from 3 AK-47 (1 with 100 round drum) each AK costs around 700 dollars USD and the one I built from scratch is around 400 dollars for parts.
1 MP5, 2 AR-15, 1 UMP45, STG-40, sturgaweir 44, FAL (which fires the NATO round (7.62x51mm)) 1 50 cal black powder rifle, 1 223 calibur CZ527 sniper rifle, 1 self built Arctic warfare magnum military sniper rifle (CIV). 2 shotguns
2 45 calibur pistols
1 338 magnum with black chrome
1 head hunter 50 cal magnum
1 walther p22
1 walther p99
some more handguns I cant remember off the top of my head.
and from what I can tell you the bullets are extremely easy to obtain.
now none of my guns I own are fully auto, because 1 that wastes ammo, 2 it's inaccurate 3 it's stupid and makes the gun cost 10000 (thats right 10k) more.
the best kind of bullets are the lead softnose, and hollow point bullets. these bullets are harder to obtain but are much better against zombies since they expand 2-3x larger than its original size, and this allows more stopping power against zombies
look at it this way:
a normal 45 caliber pistol bullet creates a 3/4 in diameter hole. a 45 cal softnose bullet creates a 1.2 in diameter a hollow point makes an almost 2 inch hole. and from what I can tell you. it makes hunting so easy, especially when you buy rifle rounds.
blew the head off a deer with a 308cal hollow point bullet from 200 yards.
the same goes for zombies a 2 in hole in a zombie's head = no zombie
now these rounds you have to buy from a police/military warehouse and it requires you to document how many bullets you buy/ fire. each one is tagged so they will find you if you decide to kill people for the lulz.
ok so this is just some info I've compiled from my experiences with guns and firing guns at human sim targets/wild game
the best guns for an apocalypse
would actually be the AR-15 (i have one with a 22 cal, the other is 223 cal)
the best idea would be the 223 cal which is the perfect size for a bullet (about 1.7 inches-2 inches) the recoil isnt horrible and it may be a little strong for the younger people, and the cost is about 600 dollars WITHOUT MODS.
the other assault rifle that would be good is the AK47 (or ak103) (1947 kalashnikov) though the recoil is much greater (it was hard for me to handle when I was 16) but the good thing is. requires MINIMAL cleaning.
a pistol: my chose would be the CZ40. it is the best gun maker in America (opinionated)
a 45 caliber all metal very easy to clean (but somewhat easy to rust where the alloy chafes off)
for a sniper rifle:
im not going to M40A5 (or A3) because first of all this aint COD. second of all many people who spout off military sniper rifles havent really fired or touched one in their lives.
the CZ527 is one of the most accurate civilian sniper rifles of the 20th century. a bolt action 5 clip sniper rifle that is accurate up to 600 yards.
chambering a 223 round ( same as the AR15, though it means going through ammo faster, but its less of a hassle to forage for ammo)
anyway hopefully this clears up a lot of things for those of you who arent 18 yet and can't legally own guns.
anyone call out bs, can ask strop/ kirbzy because they've seen em.
post script: do not want to really post the videos I made since people can see my facebook account, and I'd like to keep that private
anyone call out bs, can ask strop/ kirbzy because they've seen em.
inb4 bs call: I believe Differential is telling the truth, I've seen him operating these articles on video.
I've seen them...just not fired before :P
yea.. live rounds in my basement is not a good idea
You certainly know yer guns.
I mean really, you know your guns. Grats
I wonder how well you'd fare against EVZ. D
I wonder how well you'd fare against EVZ. D
well
a normal ak with a drum round (i've got a 100 round mod instead of the store bought 75 round drum) now with those hollowpoints. omg delicious.
but the thing is an AK in america costs about 600-800 dollars and if you get it fully auto it is 7000 dollars.
but in Africa and Afghanistan you can get one for 25 USD.
this is because of the law that says the US will not be importing automatic weapons for civilian use. and you have to get a special license to own automatic weapons. which costs a butt load and is a pain in the behind to obtain anyway. you also have to keep track of all the bullets fired from it.
but if some of these scenarios take place in other countries plans could revolve around obtaining fully auto weapons, and from what I know it is extremely easy to do so, just can't do it in the united states haha.
(then again who NEEDS full auto)
I have a 32. wichester specail, deer rifle, and a 16 gauge shotgun. Both aren't great, but there better then nothing. The 32. blows some nice holes in things. (never measuered so not sure how big)
The Ak-47 is pretty easy to controll. I was fireing one at about 120 yards at small wood cut outs. I hit them every time (which was suprise, I was expecting it to be very inaccurate) And on semi auto the kick wasn't bad. It suprised me a bit the first time, but nothing to magar.
but the thing is an AK in america costs about 600-800 dollars
Dunhams (store like d icks not sure if dunhams is a nation wide store or just local) Has Ak-47's for 300. I fired the box magazine for the AK, I wasn't even aware they had a round magazine.
yea I know they go for 300, but my assembly is the ak47 but the body is an 103 and 74u mod so it costed a bit more than the street price.
plus guns inflate every year because only a certain number is made of that one kind, such as the svt 40 which only a thousand were imported to the united states, and therefore the price of it ranges in the 1500 USD.
Plan: I would drive during nighttime to a weapons shop, pick up grenades, something automatic, and lots of pistols and ammo. I would find a wholesale store with an upper level, bring up some food, and camp out on the stairs, with all the windows and doors barricaded, as well as vinegar poured over the entire parking lot. A hiding place to get some sleep. Not very complex, but It'd get it done against Goliath Syndrome.
First, roads will be blocked, second, weapon shops will be looted. third. Weapons shops will NOT have grenades, as they are illegal under all conditions, and most will not have automatic weapons, as a liscense for one is in the 10K range.
