Where would you go if Zombies attacked?

[Liquid Blue]

Zombies are not tactical geniuses.

And first, I would go pick up Nick, then on my way back down I can swing by panda and LB, squeezer lives in a more difficult place to reach though.

you don't understand homie

you wouldn't pick me up because I'd already be gone, I would have dipped the fuck out while you're trying to figure out who to pick up

and the open field is a terrible idea, TK and I were talking about that a few pages back

I still want this question answered...is bbq'd zombie safe to eat?

because this solves food problem straightaway

A) All phones are useless. Dude, not only do you know it's the Zombie Apocalypse, but at least 4 billion other people do to. Phones are jammed, everywhere.

B) I'm saying no on the meat. First off, you'd have to be beyond desperate to eat the zombie meat at all, for fear of becoming a zombie. I think you'd find people drinking each others blood in order to survive (friends I mean) than those eating dead zombie. People would eat dead human first, which could lead to hilarity when people mistake them for zombies, and kill them.

1) Y'all a bunch of nerds, I'd just laugh at you stupid liberal americans and your "zombies" :turned:

2) If it went down like NN said, the first thing I'd do is gtfo of work, jump in my car and get the hell out of dodge. Keep going north to where my parents house is, (noone home, and the area is very secluded) then I'd raid the gun cabinet which would net me 3 shotguns, 3 rifles a pistol, a crossbow and a whole bunch of ammo.
Grab all of the warm clothes I could find.
Grab whatever produce there is in the cellar.
Fill up the car with gasoline from the shed + take Jerry Cans with me. Grab the rubber dinghy from the shed.

Drive further north, up to lapland, up to the Northern most end of Norway, use the dinghy to get to Nordkapp lighthouse and hole up there.

Its an island and i doubt zombies are good swimmers...
theres max 1 person there from before manning the lighthouse = ez kill if it has turned into a zombie.
lighthouse = high vantage point, good lookout.
pretty large island = possibility of foraging + catching fish in the nearby water.

EZ

really the issues with going on a large ship aren't nearly as bad as the nomadic ones.

to be honest, none of us, and I mean NONE, would survive a week in the wild with what we could carry on our backs. Forget the zombies, just carrying around shit would be exhuasting.

carriers run on nuclear power, so they'd have to refuel... once a decade if you conserve energy. helicopters would have to run on fuel (and you'd nee pilots) but that's a dream scenario anyway. could just as easily use a boat to get to places.

being on a crusier allows you to look for safe places on land. note i said look, not fight off zombies. there are plenty of places people could live but don't currently... so there'd be no zombies there.

in fact, you could probably go straight to an island/atoll and be starting your new civilization while everyone else is running out of food in walmart. the nomads have been dead since the first week.

assuming you won't be found by a zombie on land is a big assumption... bigger than having time to prepare, getting on military installations, and bigger than fuel/food sources. Just shy of being bigger than actually having a zombie invasion.

actually nuclear propulsion means they never have to refuel ever, its all based on water fission, and there is plenty of water in the ocean

[PaulOakenfold]

It runs out. It's just more efficient than any power we know of right now.

[Exalt]

In a submarine, with some kind of infinite energy source, and desalination for drinking water, fish for food I guess. Seems like a solid plan.

this would work... as long as nothing breaks or you have the right people to fix it and run the boat... you can produce infinite energy through nuclear propulsion and you can have infinite drinking water through desalination just like you said.... fish, forage, whatever.... even still you have enough food to last 6 months on a sub to start with... and if you had to you have enough guns on board to take over a port and steal all the food and take off again

[Exalt]

it takes so long for it to run out that its almost infinite... trust me I was on a nuclear powered submarine in the navy... that shit lasts forever as long as things don't break... I'm not going into it any further since its classified, but im sure you can google it and find something

[PaulOakenfold]

There's the Groton Sub-base, Millstone Power Plant, and Electric Boat (who makes the Virginia Class ships) within a 10 mile radius of me. It's not like one has to look it up, nuclear fission is pretty common knowledge. You're arguing it's infinite, and it's not, that's all I was saying

30 years will seem like infinity with a zombie invasion. I think most people would be happy to make 1 year :P

The problem with choosing a tiny island is the lack of food sources. You need an island sufficiently large and with enough natural resources you can be self-sufficient, (ie you can grow some shit and breed some animals (if any are even left, breeding rats for food might be a good option, they tend to be good at surviving these things) but small enough to be able to easily clear of zombies and take over and then defend.

Once you have that island you then just need to wait it out...i assume after a few years all the zombies would die (lack of food?) and you could easily then repopulate the world (albeit cautiously

They are dead and their flesh rots, so the meat would be rancid and you would die of food poisoning.
I wanna know what happens after a couple of years and their flesh has completely decayed.. Skeleton zombies?

[Galleleo]

How do zombies die? They is already dead!

And LB, I have implanted you with a gps tracker for just such an occasion.

[paradise!]

You need electricity to 'operate' the Wal-Mart (for the most part). What happens if the zombies take over utilities or destroy them?

Assuming that zombies can't climb vertical stony walls, I'd get into a castle with lots of food and boiling hot oil at the ramparts, then cement the door shut.

Wait..they have cognitive skills? WTF?

This is too unorganized we need to establish how smart/stupid the zombies are. I'll start off with 1 thing they CAN'T/CAN do.

1) can't run, just limp, sway back and forth slowly and walk, that's all.
2) can't swim, BUT can move underwater (like pirates of the carribean, they are like rocks when they touch water, just sink to the bottom)
3) CAN die, by a headshot, or several shots to the upper torso, and more as you go down.

This could run a lot smoother if we explain things like these out.
