Go towards a shelter? Go towards the woods? Go north? South? Who would be there with you? What would you bring with you? What would you do if you met other survivors? I'm curious to what other people would do in a Zombie Apocalypse My alts: General John Ripper, Draxus Prime, MoonEagle A, Anarchide, Long Evity And this is why I am the #1 forum warrior

I'm curious to what other people would do in a Zombie Apocalypse How is this apocalypse occurring? Does it have an epicenter and spread from that point? Or is it suddenly everywhere surprising everyone like the Spanish Inquisition? If the former, just continuously travel north (zombies most likely won't have the common sense to wear thicker clothing as the weather gets colder) from the infected areas slightly faster than its spreading. If the latter: Immediately leave populated areas after grabbing whatever survival/camping/non-perishable supplies you have Travel North (same reason as above) Stop at the first small town that has a store that has both food and basic supplies (such as a dollar general)

Artificer Ghost Learning Coalition College 1267	Posted - 2014.02.21 01:00:00 - [10] - Quote Whoever said "Go North" had the right idea. Zombies, like he said, don't have enough brainpower to wear thicker clothing, or bring any sources of heat (or know how to use them, for that matter). Zombies also don't give off any body heat (being dead and all) meaning that they'd easily freeze in the north. Northern Canada will be an excellent location to go. Get the right supplies, and find yourself a steady source of food (fishing will be pretty good, I'd say, as I doubt a zombie will try to infect a fish, even IF a zombie could get up there without freezing). But it also depends on if this is an airborne virus (like in The Waking Dead, except it kills you, it doesnt wait for you to die), or if it's ONLY bites. It's likely it will be from only bites, but originate from a certain species of animal or bug/insect. Otherwise, there'd be no zombie apocolypse, as it's pretty easy to kill one or two guys trying to eat you. It's different when its a swarm of bugs that wiped out a village, and then spread all over the place. Virus in the air = You're probably going to die anyways, unless you're so far away from the source point, it's too weak by the time it reaches you. Through bites from other zombies or bugs = Go north. It's likely the bugs wont be able to survive in colder weather, and a dead body definitely wont be able to. Everyone remember that once the situation is 'solved', going anywhere near the ocean is a no-no. Due to being dead, Zombies can't really drown, and it's more than likely that the next hit series, as a sequel to "Walking Dead" will be "Swimming Dead". Not swimming. But imagine putting your foot in a pool and a dead person's hand coming up to grab your leg. The first thing anyone should do, at the FIRST SIGN of any sort of Zombie Apocolypse, is go and get as much canned good as you can, as well as anything else non-disposable. Camping kits are excellent, as they normally come with a sturdy cooking set, meaning that Ramen Noodles are your friend. Cheap, easy to make, fast, and they don't go bad (if they do, it takes a long time, but I'm pretty sure they dont). Also, you see in a lot of zombie movies, people making fires to have light... It's ok for cooking, but if you just want light, electric lights are your best friend. Fires are noisy, what with all the crackling and whatnot. If you have a portable electric stovetop: Extra Good. Give me a like because I taught all of you a couple things. :D ~Art, CEO and DoE at Learning Coalition College, Co-Founder of the Learning Coalition Maken Tosch = 1000th Like!

DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 4350	Posted - 2014.02.21 04:13:00 - [11] - Quote Art, your idea works if you only have to worry about infected. Though, as any modern survival zombie book or city black out will show, people become increasingly violent the second authority slips. Which means that after your supplies run out you'd have to return to cities to look for supplies, and you wouldn't be the only one there. Also, while winter may save you from initial infected/zombies, the summer months would negate this. So what do you do about other survivors and what about when your supplies are out?

Artificer Ghost Learning Coalition College 1269	Posted - 2014.02.21 04:45:00 - [13] - Quote Hm. Well, supplies... Explain what you mean. Because as I said, fishing can keep you fed for quite a while, if you don't want to eat as kings do constantly. A fish a night per person, you're good to go. In the summer months, it can still get pretty cold in the far north (Like I said, Northern Canada), however if you ever come across a zombie (which will be not often, as you should be keeping yourself isolated), even a slightly chilly temperature will at least slow them down, enough for you to use simple, homemade tools to poke their brains with. Also, to be able to survive in the weather you live in, you'll need lots of padding from the cold, meaning a bite has less chance to get to you, thanks to your 5 layers of coats. If you didn't need to worry about being infected, there'd be no Zombie Apocalypse. Unless you're special, and you're IMMUNE to the virus, the "Apocalypse" will only last a couple days, maybe weeks. In fact, if no one had to worry about being infected, then it would last for 1 hour. 59 minutes of chaos and cannibalism, 1 minute to put a bullet in the thing's skull. If you could explain what you mean by "not worry about being infected", that'd be excellent. :D Other survivors... It's a gamble, really. I wouldn't say kill on sight, because violence, even in the zombie apocalypse, isn't ever the way to solve a human disagreement. But on the other hand, you need their stuff. If they have guns, you'd need that, and if you have food, they'd need that. Humans are unpredictable and stupid, which means that it's tough to plan for them. I'd say above all else, try to make peace with them. If they have a gun pointed at your head, tell them you have things they don't. Let them know WHAT you have, not where you have it. There's a 50% chance you live and create an alliance, and a 50% chance you die. WHERE you die, is also a gamble. Do they kill you after you show them what you have, or do they kill you on the spot? Like I said, humans are unpredictable. But if you died trying to be as peaceful as possible, at least you died with your common sense intact, which is what should be most important. Freaking out and becoming a bandit never helped anyone. Sure, you get stuff, but you could also befriend them, get their stuff, their trust, AND their help. The Governor, from The Walking Dead, had pretty much the right idea. Except he was batsht crazy, so you know. The point is he built a city instead of killing everything he saw. He let people in to his city. If they're infected, explain the situation and let them know what needs to be done. If YOU'RE infected, don't hide it. Tell your friends and family, and then give them the option of watching you kill yourself, or letting them kill you. But either way, if you're bit, don't even ask to be saved unless there is a legitimate and actual cure. Also, people will be putting out drugs, claiming for them to be cures. WHenever a new one pops up, go out, get a box or 2, and then DONT TAKE ANY until you know they work (usually it's on the news whether they work or not. I say news because if it's still safe enough to be manufacturing and developing 'cures' just to make money, it's safe enough to broadcast a news network).

Knight Solitaire Brutor Vanguard Minmatar Republic 313	Posted - 2014.02.22 03:05:00 - [21] - Quote Curious what everyone's weapon of choice would be... For show, I'd probably like a Katana, even though I wouldn't know how to use it. At least you died looking like a badass. For practicallity. I'd choose a bow or crossbow, and learn how to use them. They're silent, long ranged, and the arrows can be retrieved after being fired. I'd probably have to start off with something simpler though. Like a big ass stick, a kitchen knife, or seeing as how I have like 5 or 6 of them laying around a Hurley. They look cool too.

Cutting threw flesh in bone can hard and can take several swing to cut threw. Then there is the risk of it getting stuck in whatever you were cutting. Light blunt objects like hammer would be most useful, they are more durable and are unlikely to get stuck in a body. Not to mentions they can be found in any hardware store. Signatures?

Light blunt objects like hammer would be most useful, they are more durable and are unlikely to get stuck in a body. Not to mentions they can be found in any hardware store. Blunt weapons tend to be very heavy and unwieldy. Also I would change that hammer into a sledgehammer, because there's less chances of you getting scratched because you will be farther away.

Krom Ganesh Nos Nothi 1430	Posted - 2014.02.22 16:11:00 - [26] - Quote Weapon of choice? Riot shield. The danger of zombies is being overwhelmed by their numbers. To effectively use a melee weapon, you are going to have to stop or slow down as running by and swinging at speed increases the risk of your weapon getting caught on the zombie causing you to lose it, or worse, fall. However, stopping or slowing down just gives the zombies more chances to swarm you. The riot shield you can use at full sprint to bowl zombies out of your way as you flee the area. However, a riot shield is not the best weapon in all situations. For a ranged weapon, I'll agree with Knight on a bow. Not only is it fairly quiet, you can make more ammunition. I'd also carry a shotgun with buckshot to use as a last resort weapon.
