Thread: Zombie outbreak - What do you do?

Lets say you wake up tomorrow morning and you flip on the TV and see a massive zombie out break. The reporter's are saying to stay inside and people are being killed everywhere by a mix of fast moving zombies (28 days) and slow moving zombies (night of the living dead).

Your cell phone does not work and the land line is also down so communication with authorities are now cut off and you can not get in touch with your people's.

At this point you are home alone and it is 8:00am and outside is complete chaos and just outside youre home you notice that zombies are now encroaching upon your house.

What do you do? What do you take? Where do you go?

What would be your game plan for the zombie outbreak?

Well if I'm at school I'm basically screwed in the bum. I got no weapons up here in school.

Now if I'm at home, Id take all the furniture up stairs and throw it down my stairs to block the zombies from being able to get from my basement to my upstairs (we got big windows in the basement). Id then go the gun cabinet and load up all my rifles and go to the attic where I can find a sniping vantage point from the roof to survey the situation.

Judging by how many zombies are outside my house I'd determine if I would hit the streets to help others or not. Weapons I would take is my shotgun, .22 rifle (you can take more ammo than other rifles), a large knife, and crowbar.

I'd move to Hawaii or other similar small island.

I'd find out how people are getting turned into zombies then let it happen to me.

Fuck it, if you can't beat em...

Me and my best friend would go and get my mom and my girlfriend and go to a bar and drink and wait it out.

Wouldn't have thought of that in a million billion katrillion years.

[QUOTE=djwolford;44817I can't really put it on paper, but I have an exact battle plan laid out in my mind as I've gone over this scenario quite thoroughly many times. As a matter of fact if it ever happened it might be the highlight of my life.[/QUOTE]

Is it wierd that I'm the exact same way?

No. Just gay. You guys should hookup.

superman punch to the dome(s)

My first concern would be finding a weapon. In the house i currently reside i don't even have a baseball bat...I feel so unprepared. The good thing is that the car is just outside the door and i could brandish something hard and blunt and it would suffice until I got to a place with more weapons. The first place i would go is the Academy sports store down the street from my house. Not only do they have a lot of guns and ammo but they also have survival gear and a lot of things such as axes, hatchets, and baseball bats for defense when you don't want to waste bullets. I would then go looking for my friends so we could rally together and find food and survive together. In the end i would hope to be held up in a secure place with some animals and enough space to plant some small crops and take care of some chickens that way we would have what we need and only go out to kill zombies and get excess supplies for fun and to exceed our comfort. The in between process between finding weapons and my friends and forming a nice hippie like commune is the hard part.

That's just the opposite of true just because a person plays table top role playing games does not make him automatically not have a life. First of all it takes friends to play such games and these games have a huge fan base where people socialize and talk about it and gain more friends through their shared interest. I play these games but it is not all i do i have a very full and rich social life. This thread is about your plans for the zombie apocalypse not to make fun of those who have a plan.

Well I know the rules to a number of tabletop roleplaying games but the reason I only play them online is because the people who do play them are fucking weird and I don't know that I could tolerate being in the same room with them. In high school we played 40k and when we would go into the store the only people in there playing were the most vile, disgusting human being with neither hygene nor social skills. I know not every person who plays these games is that way (obviously, I am not) but the thought of having to spend time with people I would otherwise never associate with makes me content to do it online if at all.

Anyways, my plan would be to unload our gas tanks, throw food, rifles, and warm clothes in my truck and drive to my dad's in Wyoming. I think our tank is 150 gallons, so that should get me at least through Nebraska. From there, between the sparse population, mountains, and wide open spaces it should be no problem riding it out. If anything we to happen, we have ATVs and would just head up higher into the mountains.

If for some reason that didn't work, I'd get on my buddy's sailboat and head to the Caribbean.

ohemgee srs internetz.

Relax. I was using an old cliche which everyone is familiar with to make a joke. Don't cry just because it was at your expense.

Honestly, if you have to defend you 'having a life' on the internet then you're just providing evidence to the contrary...

haha sorry to get all serious i was tired and the cliche joke that people that play rpgs have no life made me upset for some reason. But seriously what would you do if the zombie apocalypse had happened this morning?

I would be wary to get on a boat i think once you ran out of supplies it would be hard to get back ashore later in the outbreak. Also it is true that many of the people that play rpgs give it a bad name but that is not a reason to just role play online you get alot more from playing table tops with a good group of people.

I would find emos and beat them up. Nobody will care because they will be too busy fighting the zombies.

Well I mean we're both perfectly capable of fishing, and I think it would be easier to get on-shore from a boat to get supplies from a survivalist standpoint that it would be staying in an urban area. It's a sailboat, so not only is it durable and equipped for living, it's also very energy efficient (yes, modern sailboats also have emergency engines.)

I mean I look at it this way: the fewer the people around, the less likelihood of zombies. The more remote your location, the less likelihood of the zombie plague reaching it, the less likely any person would contract it, the less likely it would spread from the first contraction (the danger of infection comes from there being multiple zombies; a single zombie is easy for even an amateur to kill.)

A boat, especially a sailboat, would be easy to pull up to shore, replenish supplies (namely, freshwater in the event the purifier stops working), and leave. It's versatile enough to use shores rather than harbors (harbors imply a greater population, which is a greater risk.) Even if one were forced to use a harbor, a harbor will always have a multitude of boat-related supplies, living supplies, and fuel, and the harbor itself is relatively unpopulated and still low risk. I wouldn't want to venture far out of the area, but if nothing else you could salvage other boats.

Man there are like 3-4 people ITT I could see surviving something like this. lol

isn't zomibfication a type of "surviving"?

i mean, i don't know if i would bother resisting at all, or at least not that long.

Turning into a zombie isnt surviving. Thats just giving in.

I think that the boat idea would be good if you found an island that wasn't too overrun with zombies that way you could kill them and live happily tending to the land and living together in peace. Only going to shore to gather more supplies and kill zombies and stuff. That kind of makes me want to buy a boat house and live near some small islands.

well ill be for realsy here

if i woke up and everyone was wtf zombified i would probably get in my car and drive. maybe grab some weapons we have in the house. while driving im sure the government would have sort of safe havens set up so the radio would tell me where to go.

well actually realistically, if i woke up and there were zombies some how i'd probably think i was tripping balls and end up getting eaten
