Dan_Dare Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 See, all these plan are somewhat good for a while, but how would we cope in the long run? I mean, do we try to stop the virus, or do we simply try to survive for as long as possible? Would some of us follow Cypher's example: Choose the easy way out and simply let ourselves be zombified? Read World War Z. The whole process is in there. the particularly grim part is that, unable to save the majority, the government and armed forces in all the major countries that survive the outbreaks withdraw inside natural geographic boundaries (in our case, Scotland) and seal themselves in with as many people as possible. Anyone outside of that barrier is considered a lost cause at worst and a good distraction for zombie herds at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaggis Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 If the zombies were any of you guys on here, then I'd probably just hole myself up in my house, and shove some speakers on with trashy pop music booming out of them. I'd be amazingly safe, you wouldn't come anywhere near. Though, tbh...I'd probs be one of the first to die. I'm not good with the stealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the great Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 id grab my swords and a team of mates, backpacks with long lasting food and water carriers. id wear a leather jacket to protect from the bites, as well as strapping several knives to my self for a quick grab. in a emergancy. id quickly find transport, and head to the nearest available sorce of firearms, gun store etc. taking these guns id find a large area witha single, narrow enterence, and start a survivors refuge. keep constant guards on the single lookout and arm them, having riot sheilds and a large sealable door at the ready.

Shorty Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 How can anybody say swords when in this scenario blood/saliva = infection? If you have an open wound and you use a sword, you're a zombie. If blood goes in your eyes, zombie. If it goes in your mouth, zombie. If a tiny bit goes on your hand at the hilt of the sword and then you eat a sandwich, zombie.

dwarf Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Yeah you've probably thought about it too much. Where is this place you would seek? And there wouldn't be any emergency escapes. Now you're gonna say that this place has a manhole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I would try something a la dawn of the dead and build a fake wall, I think that would totally confuse zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hm, if one could just find a protection suit like this: That'd be good in protections against the infection. Then you'd only have avoid direct bites, making hackin' 'n' slashin' your way through a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Go at it Charlie Brooker style and break in to the Big Brother house. Though, now that I think of it, that didn't end up too well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 I'm...not sure I follow you. It had a proper structure, cliffhangers, a well rounded plot, great characters, fantastic writing. What was missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Well the first episode was great because it was an hour long. However the adverts were still annoying, and it made the next 30 minute installations less enjoyable. If it had been on the BBC or transferred into a film it would've been a classic (maybe too strong a term) but as it is it's relatively forgotten about. I love Brooker though, actually the funniest being on this earth I think. In many ways at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 They did show it as a feature length the day after the "series" was on. Not sure if adverts were involved or not mind. It was still a great show though, and was actually the first thing I saw by Brooker. I'd like to go back and watch it again now that I'm a raaather big fan of his and see if I pick up on little quirks of his he might have put in.

CoolFunkMan Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I also think it'd be a good idea to equip yourself with this: I've read that book, it's actually quite interesting, especialy the zombie related sightings detailed at the back. Anyways, here's my survival plan... - Gather any vital food/drink/eqiupment within the house and take it upstairs - Destroy the stairs, so that nothing can get up or down - Use the garage roof as easy access to the outside world, if need be (the garage roof is directly outside my parent's bedroom window, so I could just walk accross it, and use a ladder/rope to climb up or down - I'd use close combat weapons to break the zombies leg, so that they'd be even slower, giving me a huge advantage. Hopefully I won't end up catching the virus this way... - I'd always travel light, for fast get-aways Somewhere in there, I'd gather close friends and relatives, to save them from the zombie hordes.

Dan_Dare Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 I've not read that, though World War Z gives a long term look at the outbreak, and your chances for survival. You basically have to be in remote, rural areas to stand a chance. Cities are total death traps unless you get out immediately, and you pretty much need to try and be where the army might be headed too. basically about 95% of us are fucked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I think hiding in the house and staying quiet is a good bet, attics, garage lofts etc can't be reached when you take the ladder away. It all depends on what your zombie can do and how long you think it would take to last. Tbh I think a country would nuke Britain if it had a plague of dangerous zombies.
