    I'm going to become a zombie, and then rise in their ranks because of natural leadership abilities. Once I have organized my ranks, I will eat all your brains, because you have shared your plans with the future zombie leader.

    I think somebody's been playing too much plants vs zombies

    Love this topic!! Haha I was the same way. "OMG. Zombies! Must...Click..Now.."

    I was actually watching The Walking Dead last night and thought of this. I thought, I MUST get my butt in shape if I want to survive if this really happens. I was watching one of the characters that was heavier, run from them and they were so out of breath. As of right now, that would be me.

    Until I get in enough shape to run then, I would try to find a bow and arrow if this happened because that seems to be more useful than a gun :)

    Some of those people you are planning to run over will be families. With children. If you are thinking about this' realistically' then I doubt and hope that you are not that heartless.
    ...
    I think from your plan the biggest obstacle will be the owners of these places. Do you think they are just going to let you waltz in and hunker down? Or take their guns and ammo??

    Do what's necessary to ensure your survival and the survival of those you do care about. THAT should be rule #1.
    Just remember - the *kitten* in the movies that does stuff like this always dies in some horrible fashion. And the audience will be cheering. Seriously though if you are willing to run downliving non-zombie children in order to survive you dont really deserve to. And by you I dont mean any of YOU in particular. I would rather die than lose all of my humanity. Which really isnt that the underlying premise of the zombie theme?

    still taking notes, all these brains will be mine.....mwhahahahahaha
  • Depends.

    Fast Zombies?
    If yes, cry a little bit that it's not fair, then:
    1) find guns, ammo, and a bow
    2) stock up on food and water and survival gear
    3) get fishing supplies,
    4) head for the ocean.
    5) Find a place to hole up (preferably a boat off shore) and stay put
    6) Become lonely and bored
    7) Still Bored
    8) Really bored!
    9) Come back on shore convinced that I should do something else because it's better than just waiting to die
    10) Get eaten, die thinking maybe staying on the boat was the better decision

    Slow Zombies?
    Jump for joy, then:
    1) Steps 1-4 from fast zombies
    2) Find a group of people to take shelter with
    3) Challenge their leader for control, win, and take over
    4) Become corrupt with power, start acting irrationally and not in the best interests of groups
    5) Do evil and unspeakable acts that result in the needless deaths of others in my search for more power
    6) Get betrayed by group due to my now evil nature
    7) Die getting eaten, thinking of the irony and how I probably shouldn't have been such a d*** to everyone
    I'm pretty sure zombies don't have to breathe, so water does not necessarily equal safe. But apparently you are prepared to die either way so I guess it doesn't really matter! Haha.
    But above and beyond ALL else:
    DO NOT SHOOT BILL MURRAY, THAT'S JUST NOT COOL
    ^^^^^This!
  • I've definitely got my plan worked out with my husband. And again, can't share, because future Zombie-Leaders are reading!
    But, we are actually pretty serious about being prepared for this type of situation to arise. And I mean, seriously. I believe in zombies, I do! I do!

    You are correct, however that wasn't my thinking at all. My thinking was that I grew up near the ocean, but now that I live in New York I can't afford to live near the beach anymore. If I'm going to go, I want to go with some ocean front real estate!

    Also although zombies don't have to breathe, I have yet to see a movie where they can swim (if Romero is reading this and his next flick has zombies doing butterfly I'm going to be pissed). I'm pretty decent at fishing, so between the escape vehicle, a big enough rain water collection system on said vehicle, and a potentially unlimited food supply, I like my chances at a survival attempt near the ocean over just about anywhere else.

    I'm also less likely to shoot Bill Murray if I'm not driving around Beverly Hills.

    It's going to be in Pittsburgh next year. I saw this a week or two ago and I really want to do this. I just have got to get my butt in gear and lose all my weight as well as in shape for this. Gotta be on my game when running from zombies during the 5k/obstacle course.

    Land of the dead has zombies walking underwater.

    Also since people have never encounter a zombie before. You don't really know what to expect. Who knows, maybe they could mutate, sprout wings, and fly. It could be a biological zombie or a supernatural zombie. And in those two categories there are very many different sub categories. I would think if we encounter biological zombies there would be a greater chance of survival since we might be able to figure out how to reverse it. Supernatural..ehh...I'm not so sure. I say we would be screwed

    To clarify, my reasons for being near water with a boat would be to take the boat out deep, there could be a billion zombies in the ocean, if they're all 300 ft beneath me and can't swim up to the boat I don't care.\

    Flying zombies...that would suck...

    The zombies walking under water is just stupid. When I was watching that all I could think is 'What about currents?'. They can't fight those.

    I think once they start sprouting wings all bets are off. Its no longer a zombie apocolypse - its a mutant zombie apocolypse. I will be the first to admit I am not prepared for the MZA.

    Anyone see 'Zombie Strippers'? Worst movie ever. I lost a bet and had to watch it twice.

    they'd probably just eat the dolphin!

    If a floating zombie can catch me on a sail boat...well then I deserve to part ways with my brains!
  • During a kill or be killed situation if you are trying to stop me from surviving you are on their side not mine, which in turn makes you my zombie bait my plan may not be flawless but in all theory no one knows how a zombie would actually be Romero depicts them as slow but can move fast in spurts, as well they can learn. Others depict as slow and stupid, so the best plan is survive my plan is just that survive. semi and reefer trailer for storage and transportation and as many guns and bows as i can find. The gun shop I speak of is owned by an old guy who is too old school to survive. Sharp and close range weapons are not smart maybe for 1 by 1 zeds but not for hordes you may not run out of ammo but you sure as hell run out of energy no matter who you are.

    In the short term, Zombies would just be good target practice..what worries me is how long could I hold out, how wide spread would the infections be, where did it come from and is society going to survive this?

    Zombie Plan:

    Grab Oh-****-Kit, dogs and guns - haul *kitten* to bunker stocked with food, water & ammo.
    Wait for the zombies to raid/eat everything/everyone.
    Resurface in 3 months near a military base (it'll be abandoned by then cuz the zombies will go there first)
    Set up defensive perimeter.
    Kill zombies as needed for survival.
