The Zombie Survival Thread!

[Gooders1002]

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

1. Blow 'em to bits: Utilize explosives or the environment to decimate large groups to thin their numbers and spread them out.
   

Why kill one when you can kill mean in one shot

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

1. Group survival: Maximize number of survivors in group; every person saved is another source of productivity.
   
2. 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.
   
3. Keep moving: Never stay in one place, never stay static; keep movin' and scavenging. Live as long as I can.
   
4. 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.
   
5. 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.
   

All of these

What is your typical carry capacity?

1. Moderate: In it for the longer haul, I carry several weapons and/or a fairly respectable quantity of ammunition, tools, and/or general equipment.
   

You need a descent amount to make a stand and to keep visatile

What is your typical mode of transportation or movement?

1. 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.
   

No amount of zombies is ever going to stop a Bloody tank.

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. 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.
   
4. No idea: I'm out of my depths, and completely overwhelmed and terrified and not thinking clearly; I don't know what to do.
   

All of the above. I would get it by any means.

[quote}

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. Tools and equipment: Fix it, break it, open it, lock it, trip it, bypass it, manipulate it, build it.

All of these as you would need them to be able to survive.

9. Run like fuck: OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK!!


2. Group survival: Maximize number of survivors in group; every person saved is another source of productivity.

2. Light: Food and water, a weapon or two, some ammunition, more advanced tools.

Vehicles:
8. Whatever can be scavenged: I don't care what it is, if it drives, I'll take it.

1. Scavenging: The PoApoc world is littered with essentials, and I know just where to find them.

The last one I'm a mixture of food/ water, medical supplies, weapons first, and then lastly: I'm out for the sex. Lots, and lots of sex. I don't care if they're willing or not, either.

Pineapplebunnybounce, if I ran into her, I would take as mine and make her have me some babies!

Ivy too, though I think she'd be a. more willing participant.
I wouldn't make her have babies, she'd just be my therapist/bed warmer.

Bolding mine.

Now that I've seen that, my new concerns are to raid a hospital/pharmacy for contraceptives and morning after pills. Since I would likely kill myself if I got pregnant in the middle of an apocalypse.

New strategy: capture a zombie and experiment. You know I'm quite sure there's a biological weapon that will work with them and not affect humans, I'm not sure why the movies don't explore this. But that will be my strategy.

[Mystical]

New strategy: Capture Pineapplebunnybounce at the hospital, Take contraceptives and morning pills for self, smack her ass a few times for being feisty, and harness her biochemist ability by protecting her as long as possible and ensuring her success and compliance with the threat of making her have babies.

If she failed, I'd take myself and her to some cliff dwellings in Colorado, with Ivy, and our pet robot Marvin (as enforcer), and we'd survive quite nicely up there on the cliffs. I wouldn't bring anyone else up, either. They can go die. It's mine and mine and mine and we'd be safe and sound up there until the zombies die out. Of course scavenging and such like the indians did is what we'd end up having to do.. But there's plenty of room up there for all of Pineapplebunnybounces' babies to run around and grow up in

[freedomfromforum]

I've set fire to all neighboring camps using napalm. As a leader, I've had access to abandoned high level government facilities where high tech AI and mind control experiments were left for scavenging, and I've devised a method to force all low level humans (scavengers and below) to do my bidding. I've enslaved the scavengers that I've encountered and purposed them for meeting only my seeds. I have made all of my slaves into eunuchs so that my experiments on them won't have to compete with hormonal urges. I am currently stockpiling weapons and biotoxins for the slave militia I'm assembling to use as offensive agents in coming insurgences I have devised. All humans and zombies (including zombie morphs) are fair game as targets, and only well established alliances will be recognized - all others will be terminated on sight. I've securely distributed the reprogrammed micro-implants that I stole from zombie tracking station Zeta, and I've sourced guaranteed alliance confirmation tracking utilities. Right now I'm headed to the Farse river that flows through three camps to the North, once there I will release the veno-virus Gasm into their water supply. I expect to make the hill country by dawn where I will reassemble my minions and commence operation Forced Dogma. Anyone who wants to join me as a peer must demonstrate their worthiness. All others are doomed to meet the business end of my apocalyptic wrath! This will be my final transmission before heading North.

Thankfully we're both females. (As far as I can ascertain).

I've thought of a new selling point for myself, I can teach math and science up to high school proficiency. For all those who have kids, you kids will be well prepared for the demands of the post post apocalyptic world if you take me into your group and away from missluckie.

Freedomfromfallacy, holy shit.

Being at a high level of command I must make certain unpopular decisions with regard to certain situations and events. The 'post apocalyptic' world is much darker than most humans are aware of. I can't disclose much more than I already have. The world you live in is what it is (or what it appears to be) because of agents like myself. Your concerns are noted.

fff

[Mystical]

I dare you (FFF) to come within 500M of my enfilade and live to tell the tale. Ivy will be on machine gun, and that's assuming you get past the perimeter IUD's and tripwires. In short: you can't use technology on me if you aren't within range. So go fuck off.
Pineapplebunnybounce is mine, all mine.

Yep, fuck you people. You're subversive, greedy, needy, stupid, and you're gonna get us killed before Pineapple here saves the world. So fuck you, fuck you, oh yeah and fuck you.

Thankfully we're both females. (As far as I can ascertain).

Listen, shorty. Let's just say you better succeed at killin all the zombies with your biochemistry whatnot. Or it's not going to be pretty. I may be a female, but I also know how to get you pregnant. FFF here would be happy to share his seed, apparently.

[pineapplebunnybounce]

That escalated quickly.

missluckie, I'd kill myself, or you, thank you very much.

fff, unpopular? You have a flair for politics.

More to come!

1,3,2/8

I couldn't decide on the last one. Being an F-18 weapons tech, I see requirement to have to choose. I want to set my traps, but I also want to be able to pick them off should they evade my trip-wire.

p.s.
I keep a S.O.G. Tomahawk strapped to the driver's side roll bar in my jeep...just in case a Travon Martin or Zombie equivalent wants to dance.

Now for the meat!

I can't pick just one of each!

[*]Traps and tricks: Plan for the horde, use the stragglers and outliers to create obstacles and bottlenecks.
[*]Blow 'em to bits: Utilize explosives or the environment to decimate large groups to thin their numbers and spread them out.

[*]Group survival: Maximize number of survivors in group; every person saved is another source of productivity.

[*]Moderate: In it for the longer haul, I carry several weapons and/or a fairly respectable quantity of ammunition, tools, and/or general equipment.

[*]Medium vehicle: SUVs, pickup trucks, etc. High capacity, more durability, some offroad capability, but at the tradeoff of maneuverability and even more fuel consumption. (My fucking Jeep Wrangler 4x4!)

[*]Scavenging: The PoApoc world is littered with essentials, and I know just where to find them.
[*]Jury-rigging/scrapping: One man's junk is another man's means of getting by.

[*]Food and water: Can't live without them.
[*]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.
[*]Munitions: Guns guns guns, bullets bangs and booms: The best way to survive is to project as much lethal force as you can.
[*]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.

(if I can use it, it's coming to base)
[*]Tools and equipment: Fix it, break it, open it, lock it, trip it, bypass it, manipulate it, build it.
