Zombie Apocalypse
 
Picture this:
You're watching the TV and hear there's a new disease that turns people into zombie-like beings. They say the disease is spreading more rapidly than any disease ever has, and there's no stopping it. Government officials say that they've studied it and there can be no cure for it. The disease would have earth covered in a week and only a few million people are immune to it for unknown reasons..

What would you do on your last week before the zombie wave?
What weapons would you use against the zombies?
Where would you go?

What a completely novel and original idea.

What would you do on your last week before the zombie wave?
Stockpile resources, tune up my bicycle and organize a survival pack, probably buy several 18 Gallon water bottles and fill them, then fill up all of our sinks and the bath tub. Stockpile batteries, get a generator and a shitload of gas just in case.
What weapons would you use against the zombies?
A Trench spike for individual Zombie termination, basically a heavy, pointy rapier type thing.
An easy to handle handgun for emergencies.
A carbine rifle if I'm traveling.
And the Pfeifer Zeliska .600 Nitro Express revolver. You know, Just in case.
One of these:

Where would you go?
Somewhere rural with low population density, probably North; far enough for a winter, but not so far that travel would be impossible during the colder months.

What would you do on your last week before the zombie wave?
Probably get three other mates, venture for a nice secluded area to brave the horde...reinforce the new found building and add resources (tinned food, office bottles of water)

What weapons would you use against the zombies?
Machete, crowbar...I don't really intend to be going up close and personal with the zombies but I would have them just incase I did.

Where would you go?
Scotland harhar...naw...that place is already godforsaken...I don't know.

What would you do on your last week before the zombie wave?
Hoard food. Mainly canned goods that can last a long time. And Cherry Coke. Lots of Cherry Coke.

What weapons would you use against the zombies?
Anything light and easy to carry around. I do have an idea for clearing out places that involves bear traps.

Where would you go?
I would use the oppertunity to see the world. With no tourists to spoil everything, it would be the perfect time! First, go to dover and take the train to France before transport is shut down. When in France, steal a car and go anywhere, seeing as Europe is the gateway to most of the world.

What would you do on your last week before the zombie wave?
Stock up on supplies, water, food, weapons. Fix my car up as best I can in a week, so it won't break down. See if anyone I can stand will join me, say goodbye to those who don't.

What weapons would you use against the zombies?
I have a metal bat for melee, I would get the following: A shotgun, some sort of machine gun, and a hand gun. I would have some knives as well, and a grenade if I ever get cornered and know I wont escape.

Where would you go?

West or North, to the sea or to the cold. Probably west since it is closer to me.

I had to write a paper on this scenario for school. I think I'll just post excerpts from that when I'm on the right computer.

Oddey 05-15-2010 11:55 AM

What would you do on your last week before the zombie wave?
Realistically: Probrably just get on a boat or something with a big wall and a large cabin and stockpile a whole hell of a lot of food and water.
Daydreamingly: Stay right where I was and make a stand against them.
What weapons would you use against the zombies?
Realistically: Most likely, whatever I could scrounge up. Going within melee range doesn't seem like a good idea at all, so whatever it was I'd want it to be able to pick off zombies at a distance.
Daydreamingly: Everything at the gun store and some homemade stuff.
Where would you go?
Realistically: Probrably on the boat as I said earlier, and hope that zombies can't swim. Or stay in a blimp. Or a very tall building with barricaded exits.
Daydreamingly: Walk around the world, slowly ridding the world of zombies.

I can see no way to last with only a week's notice. Ultimately, I'll probably be killed by living humans in the panic.

Strike Witch 05-15-2010 03:40 PM

I'd relax because there's no such thing as zombies.

Your hubris will cost you when Z-day arrives. REPENT! REPENT!

Strike Witch 05-15-2010 04:39 PM

Sure, if they ever show up.

So how does one catch the Z disease? Standard bite/scratch transmission only, or can water sources be contaminated? My survival skills are pretty okay. Camping for me essentially involves only bringing emergency supplies and living off of the land for a few days, so I could do that indefinitely I guess. Except, you know, with weapons.

Wings of Fire 05-15-2010 04:46 PM

Disgruntled Intern 05-15-2010 04:48 PM

Best of both worlds!

Disgruntled Intern 05-15-2010 04:54 PM

What the fuck is wrong with you? You used to be funny and great.

Strike Witch 05-15-2010 05:02 PM

Zombies are like the western nerd equivalent of Bleach.

Disgruntled Intern 05-15-2010 05:09 PM

Then why the fuck even post? Jesus christ, just fuck off.

Strike Witch 05-15-2010 05:11 PM

Wahaha!

If only I had the attention span to post on other message boards.

Mac Sirloin 05-15-2010 06:43 PM

I think everyone needs to heat up off the roof and establish a positive dialogue. No more fighting! Make Hate! Hate Hate

STM 05-16-2010 03:32 AM

Ah ha, now this I know,

1.) Demolish my stairs since supposedly (according to Max Brooks) only one in four zombies have the ability to climb vertical ledges.

2.) Take necessaries upstairs including tool kits, meds and my household 22. rifle (no jokes) I would then draw a bath for clean water when the pipes inevitably stop working

3.) Sit it out with my TV and order lots of gas masks, oh and lots of molotovs

Josh 05-16-2010 03:57 AM

4) Die of starvation.

MA 05-16-2010 04:03 AM

5) Question own gender.

MeechMunchie 05-16-2010 04:09 AM

Go to Cuba, take a few friends and any nearby medical personnel, set up a load of mines and sit on the front porch with a shotgun on my lap. Preferably with a rocking chair and a banjo.

Mac Sirloin 05-16-2010 05:23 AM

6) Get AIDS, get eaten by zombies, now the zombies have AIDS, be a hero.

STM 05-16-2010 05:35 AM

Oh and die gloriously by being ripped to shreds after taking out the town populus of zombies then do a kirk cobain or something. Hell yeh

Josh 05-16-2010 06:03 AM

I love it when you talk dirty.
