How would you survive a Zombie apocalypse? : Othor Games

Hey all the people going to Haiti we, after we become sorcerers we should go to Hawaii and take over all the islands and start a new civilization

You do know they have some Cannibalism there already right? I'll go to Jamaica or somewhere more close to home, like out in the Pacific.

So I suggest that you don't make too many plans for something that probably won't ever happen.

The classic "The dead coming to life!" is impossible,unless we use NANOBOTS! if cracked has taught me anything.
If it ever does happen,it will likely be a mutated mad cow disease or rabies virus.
neither of those are actually dead and will die by themselves eventually.

They're not cannibals, I've been to Hawaii and I have play with some people online who are from Hawaii and they said its great

I meant Haiti... and actually, all Polynesian's have had some cannibalism in their family history. (Polynesian's in the old days, were notorious cannibals. So I don't doubt they could go back to it if needed?)

I have Vinyls and a Cricket Bat. I fail to see the problem.

Also, I'm English but I'm not going down south. All them Southern softies will be Zombies :meh:

I think it would be wise to take such claims with a grain of salt, as claims of cannibalism are offensive in the extreme and still made for political purposes rather than as disinterested statements of anthropological fact.

Good point. We, as the forum members, need to decide what is a "Zombie" to us. I, for one believe it should be defined by these characteristics:

Infection is caused by bites
No one is immune to the infection
Once infected, the person only has a few hours left before dying
Once dead, the corpse will shortly reanimate
The reanimated corpse is now a "Zombie"
Zombies can only be killed by destroying the brain
The zombies are only capable of what their body is
Zombies do not have any form of intelligence, and can not "think"
Zombies can't swim, and can barely climb
Zombies do decompose, which is our advantage

At least, that's what I think of a zombie.

I'd add destruction of environments through rage and also no appreciation of "pain" but still sensory beings. They could go all superhuman for a day or so but that would require massive calories to fuel and recover from such exertion. And as the need and action of sleep would be questionable, zombies would become increasingly unpredictable and possibly dangerous. No skilled climbing, but through adrenaline they could scale more than a few cliff faces.

I've got 37 different zombie plans.

But where are you going to get a steamroller on such short notice?

Grab a shotgun and prepare for WAR!!!

Go to my shed and get a chainsaw and earmuffs. Then grab my i-pod. Then I get a riding lawn mower, put it my i-pod and then the ear muffs. So I start cutting zombies while ridin and listening to this.

Don't you think there are easier ways to die?

» Sat May 28, 2011 10:32 am

IDDQD and grab a shotgun.

Then head to Walmart and have an epic war against the zombies with schnell and any one else who wants to pwn some zombie n00bs with me.

I'd get some really thick clothes (so it'll be harder to get infected), grab either the axe or the machete, and then with my family try to fight our way out of Brooklyn and get upstate. Hopefully.

I would be thankful for living in a country where there are many guns. Probably get a car or something (always move) and go into Canada where the Undead will freeze in the winter. In the winter, move even more north until the undead are always frozen. Basically my plan. Though if I can't find transportation or get stuck somewhere, I'll probably go to the military fort near my house.

Wait, with Haiti or Polynesians? Because I know for a fact, that Polynesian tribes before the Western Europeans got to them (and even sometime during,) did have cannibalism. Haiti is more or less, something to do with certain ceremonies from what I know. But I'm not pressing the matter.

The corroboration for reports of cannibalism is very weak, and the temptation to abuse such reports for racism and propaganda is very strong. On the subject, it is fair to say that we know considerably less than has been previously thought, and facts that can be substantiated are very scarce. Only a few reports withstand scrutiny, and because at least one of the peoples concerned has present political objections to being so characterized, we are going to drop the subject.

Yeah, didn't notice the "wander from place to place awesomely killing zombies as I go and occasionally saving the poor desperate saps who can't take care of themselves or the damsel in distress who managed to make it this far even though their horrible survival skills have landed them into the most easily avoidable predicament from which I am going to save them" option.

But that's what I would do.

After I got some super sharp samurai swords. Yup. Katanas don't run out of bullets. Nope.

» Sat May 28, 2011 5:16 am

I'll be loading my shotgun and shooting them in the head of course.

» Sat May 28, 2011 10:33 am

None of the above because its all [censored] stupid, and it also depends on zombie type. At the VERY LEAST bring my copy of the zombie survival guide. Just in case.

Take my collection of medieval weaponry, my bowie, my two-year supply of tasty crab chips, all the vitamin pills I can find, books, books, books, and me love with me and barricade ourself right here. Works fine, our door can be locked about as good as the one from the father and daughter in 28 Days Later.

From what our profs reported during Asia Studies, specifically on topic of Polynesia, the whole cannibalism thing came up because a common practice among many tribes was to cut off their defeated enemies ears and chew on them until they were just a mess of cartilage, skin and blood, and then spit it on their lifeless bodies. To many explorers this might have seemed like corpse-eating, or it was only Chinese whispers from the Pacific to Europe.

I would simply accept my mental divergence, when they come to take me away to the institution.

» Sat May 28, 2011 5:06 am

I've given this some thought and have come up with 2 options:
1. Move to the North of Enlgand (the zombies are after brains)
2. Go to my mates farm and barricade the barn. Whilst there I will have a shotgun and a shovel to defend myself with (come on video games taught me these are the ultimate anti zombie weapons). During this time that I'm hold up I will learn to work the combine harvester and when I feel good enough I will venture forth and attempt to rescure any survivors. When I have enough of these I will come up with a plan to dump every single zombie in the UK across the channel and into France. :evil:

WOW, guy. I'm surprised you've made this topic! I now agree that Walmart is the best location.

wouldn't a katakana be best? Sharp for cutting the head off at the neck.

Yes and No. Remember, a severed head can still bite and zombs don't feel pain at all.

wheres the option to go left 4 dead on all of them. at first ill find a hiding spot and shore up its defenses but eventually im gonna get bored with no cable and when the internet gives out, thats it, im gonna be really bored. when i get really bored, things go boom.

as for weapon. sledge hammer or axe.........where the hell are you going to find an weapon quality katana and no those cheap knockoff you get from the internet couldnt even slice bread.

for weapons pistol, hunting rifle (7mm calibre), and shotgun. pistol is useful for tight quarters and close up headshots, medium if your a good shot. hunting rifle to reach out and touch them at long ranges. i picked 7mm chamber cause i noticed that during hunting season most of the popular calibres almost disappear which is exactly what is going to happen if a zombie outbreak occures. 7mm is very powerful but niche enough so that there is a good change of it not being taken by looters.

as for the place i would also pick a walmart. an easy solution to keep the zombies out is to simply arrange those cord barriers so that they go in the entrance door but get directed back out the exit door. this also has the advantage of basically setting up a carnival like game similar to shooting ducks in a row. you can sit in one of the many cheap walmart lounge chairs they sell and pass the time by headshotting zombies after the go through the exit door.

I disagree with Sledgehammer, it's very heavy and you'll loose control when you hit plus it's somewhat hard to find. Axe is not bad but it's heavy.

The poll options kinda svck. I would go all nomad, start a convoy, travel from city to city resupplying and killing zombies.

I agree.

Zombies don't breathe.

Solonum type, no but Rage type maybe.

wait, I'm half northern... :unsure:

Yes, Walmart might be the best place. But wont those places be looted first, when outbreak starts?
Best place would be your home. Wait until major fighting is over, and then move out and find proper place to defend.
