[YOU]

Last year I made a thread like this and it has since become dead and buried (how ironic). So I thought I'd resume the disscussion with a new 'Zombie Plan' thread.

The premise is simple; What will YOU do in the event of an uprising of the undead? For fairness sake lets say that the legions of zombies include both types, the slow and fast varieties.

Disscuss.

Oh, I most certainly have a plan.

*I have a 2-foot sold steel crowbar. (painted to look like the one Gordon Freeman has from half-life) This would be my main weapon.
*I live on the second story is an apartment complex. Below me is car port. Above me, an annoying fat guy. The two ways out of the complex is the steel door two the car part (already zombie-proof) and an open exit to a garden. The exit to the garden can be blocked with book shelves, or a car.
*On the third story, directly above the exit to the garden is a walkway. A great place for zombie-sniping.
*The walls between The verandas can be knocked down to facilitate communication/emergency exits.
*I live within a few miles of a gun shop and a hardware store. Weapons will be easy to get hold of.
*Food might be a problem. A few people already grow vegitables on the verandas, so we will all be going vegan.
*Water might be a problem. I'm a ten-minute drive away from a major water source, if we can find a way to filter it.

bring out my achery set and take out the fast ones from a distance, and use my swords to remove the heads of the slow ones.

safest method i can pull off for sure ^^

I suggest, in order to prepare for the zombie apocalypse, we stockpile the following items:
Firearms, for obvious reasons;
Ammunition, for the same reasons;
Petrol, because petrol stations are dangerous enough without zombies;
Food and water, because it would be really embarrassing to die of starvation in the middle of a zombie attack.
Car batteries, not because they're useful, but because sulphuric acid is otherwise difficult to obtain in large quantities.
CB radios, since communication is vital and it unknown whether the cell networks and internet will still function.
Kerosene lanterns, because your flashlight batteries are always flat when you really need them.
Kerosene, for setting zombies on fire with. Oh, and lantern fuel.

My zombie-proof garage and all its supplies would be all I need. I could wait out in there till its thermodynamically impossible for the zombies to keep functioning.

If there were a zombie uprising, I'd eat your brains.

It's all I'd want to do. It's not unreasonable; I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes.

Words can not describe how awesome that post was.

I'd lock the doors, go upstairs, and live on food supplies for a week, then I'd die. I don't have swords or guns. The best luck I'd have is that the zombies rise when my friends come over. (They got 2 sword sets. which means 6 swords. 2 for each person.)

If their was a zombie attack I would.
Grab my cricket bat, barracade my self inside, and use my radio and phone to get assistance.
But in the end I'd probably get ripped to pieces. -_-

Gotta love not havin' a gun? :p

My bears would kill all the zombies. Therefore I wouldn't really have to do anything.

TBH, I'm not sure how effective shooting a zombie would be (unless you had a shotgun or RPG)
Arn't zombies supposed to be not controlled from their brains and more like... I dunno, the decentralized processing that insects use?

Thus explosives or blades would be more effective at neutralizing them.

In most stories the only way to destroy a zombie is to destroy the brain. If you just hack them up, the body parts are still kicking even after being dismembered.

That makes no sense, since if they are removed from the brain, which you're saying is still the control center, how could they keep functioning?
My idea was you could hack them up into non-functional units.

I'd imediately jump behind Dex, because he's the zombie expert in the house and I'd be far too busy screaming my head off to fight then o.o

I think it depends on the story. In some, it's the brain that controls the Zombie and thus destroying the brain kills the Zombie completely. In others if you hack off a limb the limb will still be twitching when it hits the ground sometimes dragging itself toward you. In Return Of The Living Dead they were screwed no matter what they did. Not even burning the zombies stopped them because the smoke coming off the bodies infected the rain clouds which rained on the local cemetery and made more zombies. Not even taking out the brain would stop ROTLD zombies. ROTLD Zombies were smarter than average too. After eating the local police force they got on the radio in the police car and said "Send more cops".

Although since this thread is asking what you would do in a real life zombie apocalypse, I would think that the zombies still have to obey the laws of physics.

The laws of physics always take a backseat to the Rule of Cool. ^.^

When it comes the the real world, everything takes a backseat to reality, annoying as that is >.<
Now hypothetical situations are a different story...

I'd do like I said in the last thread. I'd just run them over in the truck. Grilled zombie anyone? Get it? Get it? *Grilled* zombie....from the grill of my truck! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I crack myself up sometimes.

I'd put on Thriller. And we'd dance.

I mean, duh.

Ideally, I'd have a silenced .45 and a Crowbar. Crowbars are like the swiss utility knife of the zombie apocolypse. They can be used to access locked doors (Giving a new avanue of escape, or hiding), can be used to bludgeon zombies to death, can be used to break into cars, ect... Whereas sound attracts zombies. A silenced pistol would be able to headshot the few zombies around you with ease, without attracting leigons of them. Enough ammo would probably be around 10 clips at a time, and make your checkpoint system getting from gun store to gun store. Now, as for transportation, you want sturdy more than quick. But keep in mind, something like a bus is way too top heavy, and a pickup truck is too exposed from the underside. Unless you fortified the truck, it would be useless if a zombie decided to sink his choppers into your gas line. Ideally, an APC or a Tank would be perfect, but this is "reality", we don't have access to those kinds of vehicles. Your best bet would probably be the cab of an 18 wheeler. (Narei Wins. ) Just a quick spot weld to shut the doors, and you're set. When it comes to getting out, slip out the window. The windows are high enough that the zombies can't get in.

Well I think the idea of a corpse rising from the dead and eating human flesh already breaks natural laws so if you're going to accept that zombies exist you may as well be willing to accept that they can do things natural beings can't do. When dealing with zombies, you're already dealing with something that can't happen in the real world.

Well, I wasn't thinking so much of corpse zombies, but that would work too, if the corpse was not too decomposed, some of the cells would still be able to function, and it would be possible to repair the motor neurons and the muscles to a workable extent within the laws of phsyics, and eating human flesh is very much easily done within the laws of physics.

I would simply get my guns and drive to the nearest supermarket and barricade myself in it 

I see zombies, not as zombies, but humans with a disease - It's easier that way.
You don't have to hack off someones brain to kill a human with swine flu.
So why would you have to do it on someone with ZOMBIEDISEASE?

That would certainly make it easier. They may have a higher tolerance for pain but they'd still die as easily as a normal human.
