The Zombie Survival Thread!

[Creed of Heresy]

Now for the meat!
What is your style of dealing with the threat of the undead in the short-term?

1. Stealthy evasion: If they don't detect me, they can't kill me.
   
2. Rapid movement: Even if they see me, I won't let them box me in.
   
3. Stealthy straggler termination: The few that I encounter, I kill quick and quietly.
   
4. Rapid elimination: Move quick, kill what gets in my way, don't fuck around. Time is precious.
   
5. Misdirection: Grab the horde's attention - somewhere I am not.
   
6. All guns blazing: Hit them with the force of a hurricane, punch through the horde, get to the objective and slaughter my way free.
   
7. Blow 'em to bits: Utilize explosives or the environment to decimate large groups to thin their numbers and spread them out.
   
8. Traps and tricks: Plan for the horde, use the stragglers and outliers to create obstacles and bottlenecks.
   
9. Run like fuck: OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK!!
   

What is your long-term solution for dealing with the undead?

1. Evasion: I constantly keep to the shadows; being near the horde is not a concern when I know how to slip past them.
   
2. Group survival: Maximize number of survivors in group; every person saved is another source of productivity.
   
3. Dig in and defend: Alone or with others, I make my stand here, until the day I/we die, or the day THEY all die.
   
4. Keep moving: Never stay in one place, never stay static; keep movin' and scavenging. Live as long as I can.
   
5. Exploitation: It's a man-eat-man world out there, and if that means taking what I want from others, by force or by subtlety, then so be it.
   
6. Kill them all: Rifles, pistols, explosives, knives, improvised weapons; whatever it takes, I'll take as many of the undead down as I can before my life ends.
   
7. No plan: Live for the moment, and hope to fuck my luck doesn't run out.
   
8. Bullet to the head: 'S not like there's anything to live for, anyway.
   

What is your typical carry capacity?

1. Bare essentials: A canteen of water, some canned food, basic tools; only what is absolutely necessary.
   
2. Light: Food and water, a weapon or two, some ammunition, more advanced tools.
   
3. Moderate: In it for the longer haul, I carry several weapons and/or a fairly respectable quantity of ammunition, tools, and/or general equipment.
   
4. Heavy: Speed means nothing when you have the firepower, versatility, and sustainability of several platoons of troops.
   
5. As much as I can carry: Whatever tools, supplies, weaponry, and equipment in general I can carry; I am the pack mule or the one-man army.
   
6. Nothing: I've got nothing, I struggle to obtain just the basics, let alone find any substantial quantities of either supplies or equipment.
   

What is your typical mode of transportation or movement?

1. On foot: Obstacles? What are those? May not get anywhere fast, but I can still get anywhere without worry.
   
2. ATV: Quick, efficient, and capable of going where bigger vehicles can't get, though the carry capacity is limited.
   
3. Motorcycle: Quicker than an ATV on the roads, and versatile; more carrying capacity, retains maneuverability...but if I get stuck, I'm fucked.
   
4. Light vehicle: Sedans and sports cars, much better carrying capacity for supplies and/or fellow survivors, better speed, and can be used to ram through smaller groups, but limited in maneuverability and fuel efficiency.
   
5. Medium vehicle: SUVs, pickup trucks, etc. High capacity, more durability, some offroad capability, but at the tradeoff of maneuverability and even more fuel consumption.
   
6. Heavy vehicles: RVs, buses, humvees. Very high capacity, low speed and maneuverability, but can be used as a mobile weapons platform, supply wagon, obstacle remover, or even a very very big-ass bomb on wheels, at tradeoff of large fuel costs, though fuel supplies can also be easily stored.
   
7. Super-heavy vehicles: Military vehicles, from APCs to tanks, if I can commandeer it, I'll juggernaut the fuck out of anything in my way, at the cost of huge fuel resources and speed and maneuverability, though with the benefit of obstacles and terrain meaning little.
   
8. Whatever can be scavenged: I don't care what it is, if it drives, I'll take it.
   

How do you obtain your supplies?

1. Scavenging: The PoApoc world is littered with essentials, and I know just where to find them.
   
2. Jury-rigging/scrapping: One man's junk is another man's means of getting by.
   
3. Theft: Those who still live have what I need, and when they aren't looking, it's mine for the taking.
   
4. Raiding: Either alone or with others, it's a cruel world, and cruelty is what's needed to survive. Kill or be killed, so kill those too weak or stupid for what they've got.
   
5. No idea: I'm out of my depths, and completely overwhelmed and terrified and not thinking clearly; I don't know what to do.
   

What resources are you most concerned with?

1. Food and water: Can't live without them.
   
2. Medical supplies: When the situation becomes much more complicated for surviving, I want to be ready for the maladies and injuries that will inevitably happen.
   
3. Munitions: Guns guns guns, bullets bangs and booms: The best way to survive is to project as much lethal force as you can.
   
4. Fuel: Gotta stay mobile over long ranges, and the world's enormous reserves of energy supplies are no longer being used; what is left over from the apocalypse is what I need.
   
5. Sex: Men/women, I've got urges to satisfy, be it for pleasure or keeping humanity from extinction. Be they willing...or unwilling; I either respect the right to choose, or I put no value on freedom in this hellish nightmare reality.
   
6. Tools and equipment: Fix it, break it, open it, lock it, trip it, bypass it, manipulate it, build it.
