The Zombie Apocalypse starts now.
Wherever you are when you read this - those are the cards you've been dealt. No zombie will approach your building for 24hrs. Whatever you have there, you can use. The power will shut off in 1 hr. No water pressure after 24 hrs.
99.999% of the population appears to have been infected. The zombies are those fast moving SOBs from 'Dawn of the Dead' (new version): they don't walk - they run, flat out, & they never tire.
How will YOU survive. Are you reading this from a fully stocked nuke bunker, lucky you! If not, what will you take with you? Where will you go? What do you need to get there? How will you survive once there?

Ok, wherever you are, I'm not gonna go for a start.
I'm at home - small town, Australia. Single story dwelling, windows composed of large sheets of glass. Not good.
Ok, it's bad outside now... don't know if it'll get better or worse. I'm gonna hide out in the ceiling space for a few days for a start. I'll be drilling holes in ALL the room's ceilings so I can see down, make sure the coast is clear.
I have a few buckets & pans for water. And enough food for maybe two weeks. Water is the problem.
Weapons: none to speak of. Large buckmaster knife, kitchen knives. Not good.
Clothing: leather motorcycle jacket. Only got denim jeans - they can bit through those. I'm gonna take the viser off my helmet... bore some holes in the side so I can hear better.
I'm just going to run like hell. Zombies aren't known for their quickness ~

sorry man :( 'Dawn of the Dead' zombies run faster than normal humans... they run flat out without ever tiring. Rent the movie! :(
Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Scream horribly as a bus load of zombie middle schoolers devour you from the feet up. :(
Where's that... I need a tactical shotgun thread...
first, i book it for home. i'm on an enduro so i can go offroad without too much worry since it hasn't rained for a week. home is where the weapons are. plently of long range edged weapons. i can prob store enough water for a couple of weeks. i'm in an old 2 story home that has been divided into 2 seperate apartments by floors. i'm also in a highly populated area so chances are i won't make it. it might be better to risk driving out somewhere less populated.
i'm not sure what i would do about food. there are a few restaurants and deli's nearby. i could prob get a few non perishables from there, or do i risk going to the grocery store and grabbing canned goods?
step one is to take out the stairs leading to our deck and door.
step 2 is to barricade the 2 doors leading into the apt.
step 3 is cover the windows and pathways
step 4 is to make sure the weapons stay sharp and try to wait as long as i can.
hell, if it's that bad just douse yourself in ketchup and lay down in the middle of the street. why make yourself suffer longer than necessary?
Around here, our zombies are mostly vegetarian hippies, so your pretty safe as long as your not made of
GRAINS...... GRAAAAIIIINNSSSS
I always thought DC is make the beast with two backsed w/ Arlington being so close.
Zombie soilders w/ all the great American Army / Navy / Air Force leaders next to the capital? And even a dead President and his family too... Thats a bad make the beast with two backsing card delt there...
Well, I'm in a 3rd floor window office with a strong door, and a shopping bag full of munchies and 2-liter bottle of water, so I could hole up and be fine...but make the beast with two backs that, going home to get my wife & kids is priority #1.
I've got a well stocked lab across the hall with plenty of nasty acids & flammable solvents, but that's not much good if the zombies are fast. No other weapons except a pocket knife. I didn't ride my bike today so there isn't even a helmet for protection. I'm in a heavily populated area outside DC so there are lots of zombies around. Shit. I can make it to the car by jumping onto the 1 story roof below, and from there to the parking lot without being seen. Full tank so I don't have to worry about getting gas. I'd get in the car and hightail it for home, grab the family (yeah they're still alive), shotgun, bows, plenty of knives, and backpacking gear, and make a bee-line for a place we have in the middle of bummake the beast with two backs west virginia to wait things out.
I figure the zombies will run out of food in a few weeks, maybe a month, then we're good to go!
I'm at work right now in a lab bout 5 stories up i could hole up here but thats no good, this is on Long Island in NY. As tough as the door is and as good as the water supply might be its too populated here with the hospital and all right next door more and more zombies will be coming in every second! I grab 1 jug of water and a steel pole from the lab my backpack and get to my car taking all the outside exits starting on the 4th floor to avoid being seen. I take my Club as a weapon from the car. Call the GF on the way home she is upstate, which is impossible to make cause i would have to go thru NYC, and hope she can find a secluded spot there somewhere, give her all the tips i can.
Race home, with only about a 1/4 tank of gas, plenty to get home, i have a Toyota 4runner so offroad will be no issue if needed. If i have to i will ram anything out of the way and my area near my house is very sparsely populated. On the way home stop at my buddy lewin's farm he has tons of guns and ammo and stock up telling him the plan. Call pops on the way home too he has a helicopter or plane we can take to the nearest island.
Make it home and grab my motorcycle race suit, boots, gloves, helmet. My bro has the same gear and hand my extra stuff out to my mom and her friend. Throw all nonperishables and water into the my car and our chevy avalanche. Dogs go in the Chevy. Head out to meet my dad at the airport 5minutes we take the plane or chopper out to one of the islands on the bay and setup in any of the abandoned homes out there . Hole up for a month or more and hope they all starve to death.
This whole plan can be executed in 24hours easy.
Im at home with scrap metal and a welder and a Ford E350 and a full tank of gas and knobby tires (1.25 inch long knobs). Gonna go hide in the garage and chill for a few with my welder to make a vehicle capable of killing anything in sight.
no one is home so chances are everyone is dead.
run to the local gun shop, grab some weapons and some brave souls, load up the van and try to kill.
I live in brooklyn, so at this time of the day 60% of hte populartion is in the manhattan, so im sure i can clear 10,000 bodies within a sqaure mile. maybe it would be less than that. Zombies wont be able to make it across the bridge because they would be jammed with cars and zombies cant navigate tight spaces. unless they are RAGE zombies, which arent really zombies, just infected humans. in that case, im gonna get my flame thrower out.cut a hole in the van and burn a pile of dead bodies around me and laugh.
Might set an explosion causing all the cars jammed onto a bridge to detonate chain reaction style. That'd slow 'em down!

My girl got me this book a while ago and I went to http://www.72hours.org/, so I'm ready. 8)

I made the mistake of watching Diary of the Dead a couple days ago. What a crap movie. Constant poor decisions by everyone involved, yet somehow this is the only Romero zombie movie where the protagonists are alive at the end. Makes me yearn for a real zombie invasion so I can show 'em how its done :)
I work for an industrial distributor and am at the office now.
In the ware house is about (50) 55 gallon drums of water soluable cutting oil. I will dump all this down the drain and rinse the drums to refill with water.
The building is solid but there are a lot of doors that would need covered. Not sure there's enough around to board everything up.
There are a ton of power tools here but without power they're worthless.
I suppose the Paslode Impulse nail guns would be good as they're gas operated and cordless. I could disable the safety and shoot nails with it. Probably only good at close range.
There is a fully stocked vending machine with snacks, and another with Pepsi products.
Warehouse is also full of things like sledge hammers, picks and axes [evil] I suppose I could build some sort of spring loaded circular saw blade launcher and have some fun with that.

My bro got the same book i read through it too and i feel prepared enough. I think maybe a NYMMC anti undead biker gang would be in the works? [beer] But with most of our bikes, ducatis and rc51s, the poor range might gimp is badly lol
Zombie guide says bikes are bad. If you get severely injured you are stuck and lunch meat waiting for the hungry.
i don't know that i would go after anyone if they weren't on my way to my hiding spot.
if i can't get ahold of them they are prob dead so it's not worth the risk. it would be hard to not try and save some people, but it's what i would have to live with.
Pak, my sister got me the same book. i keep it on the coffee table. [thumbsup]

If you could I'd recommend coming here. I've got enough wood and metal to barricade everything, I've got cases of water and enough random crap that weapons of mass destruction could easily be built. Plus, once I used you to help me build shit, I could use you for trade with the zombies to make a treaty with them.

How about a 1977 Jeep Wagoneer? I have one of those.
[clap] OH!!! Fun game!!! Let's see. I'm home.... I fill four five gallon buckets with water. All my pantry items and I'm going to the attic. Solid attic only one way in and it's small I'd say 12"X24" It can be braced with a 2X4 I have from the inside. Easily defendable like the 300 of Tripoli. As well it isn't readily apparent, and is located in a small closet with a high ceiling improving the defensiblity of it. Outside roof pitch is 12 on 12 so it would be difficult for unintelligent beings to get me by coming through. As well my walls and ceiling are 100 yr old lathe and plaster. So they are as hard as concrete. I've got 5 boxes of 12 guage skeet and small game shells. Sufficent to remove heads as they poke through the small hole. As well as three boxes of 9mm for my hand gun. Unfortunately my blackhawk .30 is a paperweight with no shells. Crap. I have shovels if I need to resort to it like I said, small hole. Sadly my wife and little girl are with her parents right now so I may die of a broken heart if I comptemplate their fate to often. If we have 24 hrs before the shit hits the fan, she could get here in four from her parents....... I do have my dog, and if suppies get low...... well she'll go before I do. I can't really thing of a position I'd rather defend than my attic. If we were quite enough we could easily wait out the infestation without being found. Really it would take the accidental shoe drop or an intelligent person to see it. If this was going to be a long thing.... or even if it turned into one, I live at the base of the mountains, with my fishing and hunting gear I could easily bolt for the mountains. I have maybe a mile over densely populated ground between me and the beginings of the wilderness.

Every time I see a zombie movie, this is the only thing I can focus on: why the make the beast with two backs don't you people get out of the city and into the mountains where there's not enough food to support a zombie horde??
In fact, forget about zombies, any invasion-style movie will do. Take the War of the Worlds remake. Tom Cruise is actually *trying* to get to a large population center (Albany?). WTF?? "Hey I know, let's go to a place where it will be easy for the aliens to fry us all in one shot!" Dumbass.
When the shit hits the fan, I'm heading for the hills.

or making noise to attract zombies!
I'm going to book it for home, break into the local gun shop along the way to get ammo since I'm down to one box.
Fill up 5 gallon buckets with water, take them, trash bags of food, can opener, my dogs, dog food, chain saw, gas for saw, my girl friend if she's vistiing, tp up stairs. I will then rip down the stairs and have a seat by a window ready to rock some zombies.
It's now 7pm, I'm in mid-town Manhattan (NYC) on the 6th floor of a very large building.
50 / 50 I'm make the beast with two backsed.
On the off chance I can live the week, I'd have to make sure
a) the power stays on
b) the 2 levels of security doors hold
c) the vending machines can last a couple of days
d) weapons... lots of stuff to improvise with.
e) the ventilation system can be isolated (no sneaking through the vents)
f) unless the zombies can climb vertical walls, I'm not worried about the glass.
g) my role models - the dad and daughter from "28 Days." [thumbsup]
If I was at home, I'd start setting up a command post in my apartment. I live on the fourth floor, and odds are there will be a few people in the building I can coordinate with. First step would be to barricade the glass lobby with whatever furniture we can, and cut off any of the entrances except for the door to the parking garage. For safety I'd get the keys to one of the SUVs down there and use it to block the door. Fortunately there are no windows on the first floor except for the lobby doors. Any apartment that is unoccupied would be broken into and raided for supplies and tools. We would stockpiles these in a single apartment so everyone can access them, a sort of central supply room for a collective effort. Odds are no one in my building would have any weapons, so when things quiet down outside it would be time to make a run for the gun shop. We'd setup a team of two with a tough vehicle from the parking garage and add on some makeshift armour to prevent window smashing and allow for easy zombie-mowing down. Grab some jerry cans and siphon the gas out of some of the cars to make sure they are well stocked with fuel. They would go out directly to the nearest gun shop equipped with blunt weapons and some tools to break into the door. Once they (hopefully) return with the weapons stockpile, we set up sniping positions on the rooftop terrace and keep watch on the streets, picking off any zombies that come into range or threaten to rush the barricades. Everyone is issued with a sidearm and a rifle or shotgun for personal defense and given basic training on the rooftop on how to handle their weapons. We repeat the supply system when food or supplies are needed, assuming it was successful the first time. Sitting tight with minimal weapons and food runs, we might be able to hold out until the zombies start starving to death. This plan would work best if only a few people were in the apartment building - the fewer mouths to feed the better, and the fewer people who might get nutty or violent the better.
If you have not read Max Brooks "Zpmbie Survival Guide" you might as well just kill yourself now. Seriously, read this book. Preperation takes time and by the time the outbreak happens, it will be too late.

Lol - half you guys are wandering outside to look for weapons, or family when 99.999% of the population is
already infected and shambling about. Ek, I think maybe I didn't make that part clear: my bad. Sorry to everyone who died horribly. [bacon] :P
Meanwhile, I'm not happy about sitting in a roof for the passed two days. I've been looking outside quite a bit... the zombies are kinda random - some will stand in one place for hours, others stagger passed on 'the way' to somewhere. I saw a guy get eaten before - not nice. Well, half eaten. Once he became a zombie, they lost interest.
Humans have poor hearing and eyesight. I'll have to leave here soon, travel by night on foot. When I do, I'll be moving 2 blocks west. There is a small corner store nearby, so I'll be able to stock up on food. I'm honestly not sure how I can get to the countryside from here. :-[

It has doors and an engine in fact believe it or not that POS only has about 60,000 miles on it, the transfer case is just make the beast with two backsed up. If needed I could get that thing moving under it's own power. I just have it buried at the back of the garage because I have more important things to do but my priorities would change if zombies came knocking.

Well im def not staying right next to a hospital thats the worst possible place ill take my chances getting to a safer place, i could always just head straight for the docks nearby in port jeff and steal a boat
This game sucks (no offense intended) because we couldn't ride anymore, so I ain't playin'. Ha!
BTW ever seen Resident Evil (I think 4) It's a really good Zombie Apocalypse movie.
I guess if I did play, I would get Milla Jovovich to help me, she would, don't ya think?

you winned!!! :D
I just got to this thread and I don't remember where I was when it started, so I'll go with right now. I'm actually in pretty good shape. I'm in a second floor two bedroom apartment, with three solid doors between me and the outside.
Food? Check, I live above an Italian restaurant which has walk in freezer.
Water? Check, I have access to the roof for rain catches.
Beer? Double check, restaurant has a well stocked bar, and I have beer making equipment and supplies
Whiskey? Check, see above.
Defense? Check, 12ga shotty, HGs, rifle, and around 4K rounds of assorted ammo. (also tons of maintenance supplies)
Only problem is the owner is downstairs right now tending the bar. I guess first order of business is go down, split some wigs, stack the bodies outside, throw some veal on a skillet, and raid the whiskey. I figure I can stay sane (read:drunk) and fed long enough until the zombies starve, then wait or look for survivors.
Jeep also has a full tank of gas, guess I'd take the jeep up to west point or down to fort dix if I had to leave.
One other problem, only 1 pack of smokes... Guess there's a corner liquor store raid in order.
Good thread [thumbsup]

"Janice, can you come up to the roof for your firearms training? No, I'll hold on to the gun until I think you are ready."
Problem solved.
Sorry to jump in late, but I've been very busy...
I was on the roof with the kids, wife and dog, and a few other scattered folks from connected houses on the block.
The good news :a large stockpile of ammo and guns (who knew so many San Franciscans closeted gun owners like me) We've got food and water for at least three weeks (I figured we be using in in the event of an earthquake, not zombies)
We've also demolished any and all staircases leading up the the roofs.
The bad news was the crowd of zombies was about 5000 strong and growing daily. I guess once all the available 'food' was gone they slowly began to congregate around our neighborhood.
Luckily for us I was able to tap my old NavCom handheld pilot's radio into a neighbor's solar panel and charge it up. A quick broadcast on 121.5 (SOS) and I got in touch with a coast guard rescue chopper. We cleared a landing area and got a quick flight to the ships moored over on treasure island.
Apparently they are using commandeered container ships as a makeshift fortress for the few hundred survivors....
UPDATE: UPDATE: UPDATE: UPDATE: UPDATE: UPDATE: UPDATE: UPDATE: UPDATE: UPDATE:
So it's been a rough couple days.... I managed to stay locked up in my attic for 36hrs.... they came faster than I expected. I haven't heard from my wife or daughter. Course the lines are all dead. I don't know if they are safe or not. There is an armory in Albuquerque. I can hope they made it there or somewhere safe.... The first 24hrs was fairly quiet they must've still been able to find plenty of food out there. I can only surmise that food sources are growing scarce for them. I heard a couple wonder through the downstairs occassionally, schuffling through the bedrooms probably looking for survivors. All hell broke loose early this morning. Earlier this morning while I was catching a cat nap, one snuck in the house and it sounded like it threw the aquarium to the floor. This unfortunately startled Paige(my Beagle) who awoke and let out a yelp. That sent the zombie into a frenzy I couldn't see down there but I could hear it tearing the place apart looking for us. It was only a matter of time before it attracted others I knew. I hoped to get to it first (http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s202/Sazkey88/Animations/zombiepanic.gif)but they came outta nowhere I barely got my barricade back across the trap door in time to keep them out. I thought this space would be safer but the frenzy I hear on the other side makes me doubtful it will hold up more than an hour or two now that they know I'm here. Action, action, I gotta do something...... to tight and not enough ammo to fight my way out, make the beast with two backs!!! I shoulda bought more after my last camping trip.... shoulda bought a damn flame thrower. OK, how do I get out? One way in, one way out, I chose the attic for that reason. Now I'm trapped like a spider in a jar. I'm gonna have to go between the rafters and knock a hole to the outside. I need to be ready to hit the ground running though, no time to load the pick up. Throw all the ammo I have into my pillow case. I loosen a brick from the decaying mortor in my 100yr old chimney and start hammering to loosen the boards. Ah, I hear the frenzy downstairs increase, they sense their prey is leaving them. Lucky me they aren't smart enough to figure out how. YES! Finally loose enough I can get my hands in and pry some. I put my back against it and push... not enough, a couple well placed kicks. Ah-ha a sliver of daylight, I peak. No zombies, they are all trying to attack my trap door and are unaware of my exodus. No time for anything now, I break through and run on to the kitchen roof, "Paige come on!" make the beast with two backs she's being a chicken shit!!! Do I slow down to grab her.... make the beast with two backs! make the beast with two backs! make the beast with two backs! I can't leave her, yes I throw her under my other arm and jump for the ground. DAMMIT!!!! Between the pillowcase full of ammo, the shotgun and carrying my dog I don't land well. Something is hurt in my foot. Not so bad that it'll slow me down right now, but I will be paying a price for it at some point. Grab my shit, scruff my dog I sprint/hop the twenty yards to the truck. Hop in and thank God ol' reliable is still true. She starts immediately, unfortunately with the glass packs she's loud. Every zombie in the neighborhood is going to be here in seconds. I throw it in gear and careen out of the alley way onto the street. To my right I can see them pooring out of the front of my house in pursuit. I have one chance for a plan B I knew from the start, I have to head straight through the heart of downtown Colorado Springs for the mountains on the other side. It's about a mile of densely populated area, if I can clear I-25 I'm golden. I'm hustling along now but I have to slow down... this old truck literally has no brakes, I lost them last time I drove it. Not that there is anything I wanna be stopping for anyway ............. holy shit...... I'm skirting to south edge of downtown heading west and I see them pooring across the lawn of the old courthouse. They must've heard my truck coming for blocks. Brakes or not I stamp the gas pedal to the floorboard. The old F-100 responds with everything it's got, I'm absolutely terrified! I'm weaving through abandoned cars. I bash along the side of a dead city bus shattering my passenger side window. Paige is beside herself in terror cowering on the floorboards with the whites of her eyes showing(I later realized I was screaming through this whole experience, but only after I realized I'd lost my voice). I bounce a zombie off the corner of my truck, shit they're fast and in the close confines of the urban waste here they are far more manuverable than I. I hit a Prius, bashing it aside, (my poor truck I've loved this truck, I often credit it with my sobriety). Now it's saving my life one last time, I finally get into the warehouse area, a lot more room and a straight shot into the mountains. I've made it out of town.... I have no supplies though. I have my dog, I have my hand guns on my belt, acompanieding by my hunting knives, I have my shot gun and a pillowcase full of ammo. The truck is empty except for some automotive ramps and a used rear dunlop bike tire. I'll need to loot a shop somewhere, and trade my beloved truck before I wreck. Now into the winding pass I go, Ute pass, once one of my favorite roads when I was leaning on the Monster, now looks like a nightmare in a 45 yr old truck with no breaks.....

Pasty green make up is all you need. Pretend you're a zombie too, infiltrate their ranks and save the world (if you care to.). You'd be able to go wherever you want... set up zombie HQ at a Krispy Kremes and live the high life. I really don't see the problem. Besides- zombie chicks are hot. Well- cold akshully, but in the hottest way possible. I think. Mebbe not.

So it's been a rough couple days.... I managed to stay locked up in my attic for 36hrs.... they came faster than I expected. I haven't heard from my wife or daughter. Course the lines are all dead. I don't know if they are safe or not. There is an armory in Albuquerque. I can hope they made it there or somewhere safe.... The first 24hrs was fairly quiet they must've still been able to find plenty of food out there. I can only surmise that food sources are growing scarce for them. I heard a couple wonder through the downstairs occassionally, schuffling through the bedrooms probably looking for survivors....
Bravo! [clap] [popcorn]

i couldn't get in touch with my girlfriend. i hope she is ok, it would be nice to be able to see her again.
i tried to take streets to get home, but there were so many abandonded cars, fresh bodies, and pools of slippery blood that navigating them was slowing me way down. i finally got onto a RR bed and made my way home from there. those zombies are freaking fast! i thought i was going to be taken off the bike a few times, but luckily their bodies are pretty soft so they just kind of exploded when i hit them or gave them a nice kick. i did hurt my knuckles when i punched one. if it weren't for the armored gloves i think i would have broken my hand.
i managed to get into the house before they descended on it. i'm not sure how i'm going to take out the stairs to the deck. right now i have a blanket over the door and a bookcase blocking the door. all my weapons are sharpened, but i'm quickly realizing that of all of them, the best one is my machete. most of the swords are too long, and the axe is definantely unweildly indoors. i have a bow and a few arrows, but once again, they arent' the best in close quarters. since my neighbor has guns i decided to try and get into his apt to use them. when the house was turned into apartments all they did was wall up doorways so it wouldn't be that difficult with the proper tools. i have a couple of claw hammers and my body. i tried calling his cell, but there was no answer. i don't even know if cell phones would work right now anyways. i knocked on the walls and called out to him, but got no response so i started on the wall. when i got a hole in the wall i peeked through and nearly lost an eye when he reached through to try and get me. he had been infected and knew i was there. make the beast with two backs me that sucked. i grabbed the machete and headed back to my work area. i got him to reach through again and whacked off his arm just below the elbow. god did that make a mess. i then realized i would have to get his other arm and then figure out a way to get him to poke his head through. i got his other arm, but the head was definately not going to come off like the arms did. i had to make the hole bigger which meant i would have to be close to the hole without my blade. eventually i got the hole big enough that it was becoming very dangerous. i got the bow and was going to shoot him through the hole i just made. when i came back down to the work area he was breaking through! lucky for me he had no hands so he wasn't making alot of progress, but he did have most of his upper body through. i lopped off his head after a few tries since he didn't want to hold still. thinking it was over i pushed the body back through the hole and grabbed my hammer and set to work.
here is where i will pause to give out a warning. THE HEAD STILL BITES!
thank god i was wearing boots. i was bracing myself to rip some of the wall down when i heard a snapping and felt something on my foot. i looked down and there was his head trying to bite through my shoe. the hammer took care of that.
i tossed the remains out of an upper floor window. i think i got a couple more zombies with his body. the stench is bad right now. it's only going to get worse too. i'm wondering how we are all keeping these logs when the power went out days ago, but i guess that's a story for another time. i managed to spot another neighbor a few houses away who survived as well. there were so many zombies around that we are isolated from each other though only 30 yds away. they seem to have dispersed today so we might try and get together. having someone to stand watch would be great. i don't think i have slept much more than an hr at a time for the past 4 days. water is running low, i stink, but i do have enough food for a few more days. i didn't have anything set up to catch rainwater so everything that the tropical storm brought through is just mocking me as it dries.
has anyone noticed that the zombies dont' seem to see well at dawn and dusk? i'm afraid to try going out at night because i will need a flashlight and they could see it before i could see them. i can't outrun them since i'm painfully slow. i think i will try heading over to the corner deli for some water and other supplies at dusk in a few days when i desperately need them. after i stock up i'll have to find a way to dismantle the stairs. i've also got to come up with a new game. the cards are getting boring, and i can't play dice by myself. ohh and i really need to find a way to take a shower or something. i'm starting to offend myself.
The Zombie-off spray I made at the time I first created the Zombie virus itself is working beautifully. Any zombie within 100 yards gets a whiff of what smells to me like minty goodness and hightails it out of there like it was just set on fire. As I travel about looking at the mayhem I've caused, I think to myself, "What a wonderful world."

though now i'm wondering...do zombies poop? they never seem to chew, just rip off a hunk of flesh and swallow. if their digestive systems are still in tact that would mean they are moving things along and it breaks down like living humans. i'm thinking that since they don't really bleed their systems have shut down. if their systems have shut down then they aren't moving anything through their digestive tract. if that's the case then won't their stomachs just explode from undigested rotting flesh? i'm thinking that they don't poop.
Here's a hint to help you survive.

The 'eating' is a primal response. Swallowing moves the food to the stomach, but it isn't digested. Eventually, if a zombie eats enough, it's stomach bursts.
Smells bad :(
Hi. I'm a zombie. Not much food left out here, and we're getting kinda hungry. Lonely too, the other zombies don't talk much, would you mind coming out for a bit to chat? No? Probably for the best, even though I haven't eaten in a week if I munch on one more brain I think my gut will explode. Hope you don't mind if I sit out here for a few more days, you know, in case you decide to make a break for the 7-11 across the street. Oh, and sorry for biting your girlfriend's ear off, but you've got to admit it was kind of funny the way she freaked out. Bummer about your shotgun being out of shells now that you put the last round into her head. Well, it's been nice standing here with outstrechted arms clawing at your door. See you soon.

That's what I've been counting on.
Tonight, I climbed down out of the ceiling cavity after using spyholes to check each room. My supplies: I knife, an empty backpack, & a pair of binoculars I forgot I had. Just on midnight, I slipped out the back door, moved to the end of the yard, and behind the shed.
All quiet. Oh my god, it's way too quiet - NO sounds from anywhere: no tvs, passing cars. It's like a crypt. Ok, bad analogy.
Stuck my head over the fence.... looked and listened for a good 10 mins: nothing. Then spent another 15 mins trying to quietly climb the steel fence. I had to work my way through 3 yards; cross a street; & another 3 yards to get to corner store. It took me 6 hrs.
I had just gotten to the yard behind the store when I heard a moan from hell. Not close.. but too close for comfort. I scuttled across the yard.. pulled myself up the side of the building to the second floor using spouting and windowsills. Crawled across the roof, looked down in the street.
Zombie Ducsix is sitting on a Ducati out in the street. He's moaning & burping, pushing the starter button again & again.
I almost feel sorry for him - he's not going anywhere unless he untrips the kill switch. [laugh]
I'm stunned the internet is still up here in NYC [thumbsup] Glad to see there's other survivors [thumbsup]
The city is scary quiet... I can see the street, but no one's out there. The cars and cabs and buses look quiet - even. None of that "crashing chaos" that you see in the movies.
Over Saturday night, the remains of Tropical Storm Hanna moved through the city, and while it probably didn't deter the zombies, it did have the benefit of washing all the blood and gore from the streets. That's one of the reasons I said it's scary quiet.
Yesterday some people came down from Orrick after their vending machines ran out. Who knew lawyers had great zombie jokes?
Our water and vending will probably last the week, but the brownouts are starting. I fear for the people barricaded in ConEd facilities.
We finally got a little organized and set up 3 person teams to "sweep the perimeter." This is what happens when you get a bunch of finance types and lawyers in the same room, it turns into a bad re-make of "Predator." Unfortunately, we're all too afraid to see if we can get to the roof up on the 40th floor - we're on 6... There are too many self-locking emergency doors and when the power goes - how will they hold.
Just looked out the windows again on 52nd, 5th and 53rd... quiet.
I just went outside, my dogs have been whimpering about doing their business for over a day, but at least I can take my laptop outside [thumbsup]
The Zombie mail man has been checking my mailbox for mail every 3 mins, for about 2 days. I don't think he has my Netflix movie >:(

Quote from: KnightofNi on September 09, 2008, 06:35:25 AM
what happens if you eat a zombie?
One of three things:
1. the same thing that would happen if you ate rotten meat?
2. you are infected?
3. the zombie eats you 'cause you weren't paying attention?
mmmm, or maybe all three :D
I'll head to the bus garage (still got keys, very inaccessable to most and few employees up there in case they got zombie-fied ont eh job). Got shotgun for taking them out + plowing over the mechanics, in my truck. There's a couple of buses in the bays with all governors disabled and a couple older buses with few electonics. I grab one of the older ones, a bit smaller & more maneurable, no electroics to worry with either, and it's got a full tank of diesel. It's already on a lift, the air compressor is running off a backup generator, so I've got air for the tools. I grab a bunch of cans of Great Stuff & fill the tires with it. It'll crush a little so the ride's not too harsh, but keep the tires shape. I grab their huge welder & weld a few random pieces of metal to protect the grill/radiator and keep things from entering through the glass, even if it gets shattered. Just in time too, I hear the generator cough a couple times & sputter to a halt. It's either out of fuel or been damaged by some approaching zombies. They can't stand the whine of those big industrial generators. I run through the garage with an axe & headlamp, smashing & raiding the vending machines for food & drinks. Use some bungies right there in the bay to strap some tools that would make some excellent hand-to-hand weapons. *Rattle rattle* comes from one of the huge bay doors. Time to go, those doors aren't secure at all. Hit the starter switch, the angry Detroit under the hood roars to life just as one side of the bay door gives. I floor the pedal, creating a horrible shreik that a zombie can't even make as the duals spin on the polished concrete floor looking for just a bit of traction. The zombies coming through the damaged bay door howl in pain from the sound and choke on the combination of black smoke from the rich running diesel and the acrid tire smoke. The duals grab some traction and the 9-ton beast jolts forward toward the door, knocking a head-high toolbox out of the way, launching random sockets & wrenches through the bay. The bumper catches a couple of the zombies coming through the bay ripping their rotting mid-sectsion from the bodies. The speedometer edges just past 40mph, hopefully that's enough. Covering my eyes, I slam into what's left of the breached bay door and over the waiting zombies, it feels like I'm ripping through a rhythm section at the local dirt track from all the zombies getting caught under the wheels, fighting for control, I turn the wheel toward the exit. So much for the fiberglass fenders, they're hanging loose and flapping around now, catching the occasional zombie that's too curious for his own good by the head or chest. Damn, I should have topped off the windshield washer fluid. I make a bee-line for the local grocery store, so far so good.
My hell-bus seems to be holding up, air pressure is holding, temp looks good, no steam, normal smoke for the laboring Detroit. Heading for the grocery store, it looks like it's been looted already, maybe there's something useful still. Looks like a zombie looting too, meat packaging strewn all over the parking lot, bits of blood here and there. Slamming on the air-brakes & turning the wheel hard I spin something close to a 180º turn in the parking lot hear the heavily damaged store front. Flipping the road weary Allison in reverse, I stomp the pedal and crash through what's left of the store front the bus slows as it starts catching checkout counters. I stop, shut the engine off and listen... one hand on the ignition, one hand on the shifter. Just the groan of the metal left hanging from my freshy installed drive through... at least I think that's where the groaning is coming from. Listening, listening... silence. Looking around from the inside of the bus, still wearing my headlamp, I notice the stench, awful, this place can't be safe. No sign of movement through, just silence and a stench I'll be smelling for weeks if I manage to out-live the zombies...

i'm not planning on eating it raw. it'll be cooked first.
if i don't have any open wounds then i shouldn't have to worry about getting infected. from what i have read it's a virus.

Maybe you turn into the zombie king or maybe just get leprosy.
Ok, I'm ok, kinda. lack of blood really making it hard to think. I found one of my daughters strawberry granola bars in the truck though that helped. Wrapped a piece of the pillow case around my head to staunch the blood flow. Gotta get going, need to find a stocked cabin, I'm not gonna last long with out finding enerhy after that kind of blood loss. Damn head wounds. I'll check in later gotta move now, gotta keep moving.
Update: Haven't seen anyone for days. I've only come across 7 zombies and those were in pretty bad shape. I did manage find a cabin, stocked up and rested but figured I better stay on the move. I'm outfitted fairly well at this point...... from the lack of further posts on this thread I fear the worst. The cabin had an old two-stoke Yamaha IT. I'm gonna head south, see if I can find my family. I fear the worst. It's remarkably quite, you never notice the sounds of man kind until they are silenced. No airplanes for days..... I wonder if Airforce One is up there circling somewhere? Probably out of fuel by now...... If anyone gets this and would like to meet up, I'll be traveling through the San Luis valley, it's less populated than the front range. It'll probably take several days for me to reach Alamosa, assuming I can continue to find vechicles that can handle the terraine. I remember a Jeep shop in Salida, maybe I'll pick up one of those. Not much danger out here of being over run by zombies. They pretty much come up on you one at a time. The biggest danger is them finding you during a nap.... fun my sense of smell has improved, especially were rotting flesh in concerned. I smell them and can move around them without them being any the wiser now. I'll continue to check here as I can.... hope there are still others out there.
I am happy to report that peace negotiations w/ the zombie leaders are progressing nicely. they seem to agree w/ the need for immediate zombie/human separation and have expressed some interest in our n/s dakota offer, though any tells are thoroughly masked by their horrific appearance(kinda like trying to sell joan rivers a car before her morning cup of coffee). we have talked about the details of the containment fence and the zombies feel that electrifying them is inhumane. we attempted to explain that the fence is for their protection(surviving humans have been taking the nonlives of zombies at an alarming rate since the upheaval) they don't seem to believe us. the tension present at the meetings is overwhelming, who knew that they had been paying attention to all of the anti-zombie propaganda pouring out of hollywood, who knew it would turn out like this, who make the beast with two backsing knew...one thing is for certain, we can never go back, not to the way things were, not after this

Negotiations broke down suddenly today when a zombie diplomat declare BRAINS!!! and ate the human negotiators. Game back on!!! ;D I like this game.... more people should play.

briiiiaaaaaannnnn....
Continued from my earlier post......
I quietly open the emergancy door and prepare to venture into the store for what I can find. I immediatly notice that most of the batteries and flashlights, candy and useful things you normally see at the counters is gone. There's definantly been more than zombies in here, there might even be some other survivors. Obviously, they're not here now, so I'll make a quick pass through for canned goods and get on the move.
Thinking through the layout of the store, I think I'll stay near the front. The meat department is in the back where they keep all the stock in meat. That'd be a likely place for a zombie to hide. Dark, quiet, surrounded by rotting meat and such. I'll also avoid the where the deli is for the same reason. The 8 foot high aisles make for a easy ambushes, especially with the lack of light as you go back through the store. My puny LED headlamp doesn't do much to penetrate the cavernous darkness in the back of the store.
Quietly strafing the aisles, 12-guage shotgun ready to blast anything that moves. I find a couple boxes of cereal that haven't been ripped open. Most of the canned goods are gone or already split open. I do manage to find a few cans of beans and such that will allow me to eat a couple or three days. Some bottled water would be good, if there's any left. Shit, it's dark over there, no windows near the drink part of the store. I'm gonna need better light to go to that section. Too risky with my feeble head lamp. Really, it's a 2-person job, but I'm not holding my breath on finding someone to help me out. Looks like my raid of the grocery store was pretty much a failure.
With the fading light, I fire up my bus. Time to find somewhere secure for the night.

I was just about to cross-post that one...
Monsterlover = like lightning
I hop into my car, drive 5 minutes to my boss's slip, sail to a nearby island which has it's own power plant, several farms, <100 summer residents, and maybe 40 year-round residents living on the island. I bring all of my ammo and p239. Commence extermination. If it's too hot on the island, I change plans to raid the marina and hotel / restaurant for food & water. I drop anchor miles out in the ocean. Or I set sail south to Bermuda. By the time I get there, things should have quieted down nicely.
I'm thinking this will be pretty nice. The island of first recourse is hooked up with big summer houses. The Zombies won't be able to swim out to the island; it's too far. I prattle on the DMF while I wait for the Zombies to starve.

"The guy was, like, tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told him, 'Get off!'" Vega said. "The guy just kept eating the other guy away, like, ripping his skin..
Vega flagged down a Miami police officer, who he said repeatedly ordered the attacker to get off the victim. The attacker just picked his head up and growled at the officer, Vega said. As the attack continued, Vega said the officer shot the attacker, who continued chewing the victim's face. The officer fired again, killing the attacker."

Eugene was found nude and attacking another man on a causeway; a bystander flagged down police, who were amazed and sickened when they discovered Eugene eating parts of the victim’s face. The victim has not been identified but was in critical condition when the story went to press and was missing his lips, an eye and one ear
The story garnered huge headlines when it broke over Memorial Day weekend, prompting theories of a zombie apocalypse and speculation on drug use. Police say they think Eugene was high on “bath saltsâ€, which is exactly what it sounds like and is now being used to create the effects of LSD. One of the effects of the drug is internal heat, which raises the temperature to a dangerous level and makes the user feel like their organs are baking, which is reportedly what caused Eugene to take his clothes off. In the surveillance still above, the victim appears to be naked as well, but officials haven’t commented on why. Officials believe Eugene found the homeless man lying on the causeway and saw easy prey and, for reasons unknown, attacked. When police told him to cease his actions and he refused, they shot at him; officials say they got in at least half a dozen shots before he went down growling, flesh still dangling from his mouth.
Several cases of bath salts-related violence have been reported in the area, according to officials, and it almost always involves almost super-human strength in which the user attacks with their jaws. The drug can cause heavy psychosis and a state of delirium.
so now we know what the cause of the Zombie Apocalypse is... Calgon.
It took him away...

Time to move the gun purchase higher up on the 'to-do' list...
Well seeing that the Zombie Apocalypse is starting here in Miami, I think i'm well prepared. My hurricane shutters will do a great job of protecting my windows and doors. And since hurricane season is fast approaching I will already have supplies at the ready. Oh and if a hurricane did blow thru that means the zombies get swept out in to the ocean by the storm surge.

They're undead, they'll just walk back to shore.
Crap.. need new swords.. just remembered stainless isn't sharpen friendly. Maybe this spring steel one http://www.swordsoftheeast.com/springsteelwakizashi.aspx (http://www.swordsoftheeast.com/springsteelwakizashi.aspx)
Or would carbon steel fair better at decapitation and being light

carbon holds an edge better.
make sure they are full tang as well. no show pieces. you wouldn't want the blade coming loose from the handle inthe midst of defending yourself.
machetes seem to be a good choice too. light, rugged, multi-purpose, one handed use.
also try the woodsman's pal mentioned earlier
Wow. Site has good deals.. fully tanged carbon 50% off.. just doesn't mention rc rating.. http://www.swordsoftheeast.com/musashikatana.aspx (http://www.swordsoftheeast.com/musashikatana.aspx)
Yes, machete is a must.. some reach is always good though..
Swords are nice but so are these. ;) Nice sales price too. Cheaper than the local Bass Pro Shop sales price in their flyer. Nice alternative to the Woodsman's Pal tool.

I ordered 2. One for the farm for brush clearing and one for the camp box. Just wish the sharp blade side went the full length and didn't stop 2" from the end. Oh well... price is right and I will put them to good use. And besides, any zombies out there should watch their ass!! [laugh]

I don't know about that one. If you use the hooked side, it might just get stuck in the zombie. Of course, if you wanted to use the hooked side, it might be effective to hook around the back of a zombie's knee joint, in which case you could then pull the stuck machete back towards you forcefully, taking out said zombie's knee and perhaps even severing the lower leg while doing it, in which case the zombie would then stumble and become vulnerable for a decapitation blow from a regular machete held in the other hand. Could become you signature move! Hook, decapitate, repeat.

i'm going over the mechanics of that signature. it couldn't be used every time, justa few here and there to set it in your companions eye's that you are not to be trifled with. (zombies have no emotion so they won't have a reason to take pause at attacking you)
i was thinking of the hook to the shoulder to pull them back and then the opposite hand comed in with the machete aross the skull. yours definately has more flair though. [thumbsup]
I could use a signature move. I've been lacking one for years. ;)
Machetes are nice but I was leaning towards a SOG tomahawk for the final head blow move. Distract/incapacitate them with the Woodmans Pal thingy then finish them off with the tomahawk. Sweeeeet. ;D
Again, I need a trademark move of some kind named after me. Besides the one about falling down drunk! [laugh] [popcorn] [beer] I'm liking the tomahawk/Woodman's Pal idea. Fear and loathing among your friends is not a bad thing... next best thing to actual respect. I believe there was once a doctor of some sort that wrote a popular book regarding that concept involving a town in Nevada. ;)
Hook to reverse side of neck pull down n chop.. ex.. left hand hooks zombie left side (your right) pull down.. zombies back becomes exposed, chop away.. maybe one is only needed than... I like the double sided machet, full size one is damn long though..

is that meant in the tenor like Robert Duvall saying that "Charlie Don't Surf" ?!?!?!
I don't work for them, I am not affiliated with them, but I think they are cool as hell. Zombietools.net for all of your zombie slashing-stabbing-cutting needs. I also mentioned them in the knives thread. Oh, and in the event of a full scale zombie outbreak, I'm probably one of the first ones bitten.
Taking one for the home team? [popcorn] [laugh]

Read "World War Z" zombies only need something to climb up, including anchor chains.
I'm partial to the Benchmade Tomahawk and my Kukri. It has nice weight behind a swing.
Bangor, ME has been having a huge problem with bath salts for the last year.
Issues that could be handled by a single cruiser now requires the entire department to respond, simply because of how "superhuman" a user becomes.
And the reports are not joking - it does take multiple well-placed rounds to take down someone on bath salts. They feel no pain whatsoever.
