I dunno about you guys that want teams of people -- isn't that how you're likeliest to get zombified? A member of your team gets it and then, they're inside the perimeter or whatever and put the chomp on you before you know what's happening? I wouldn't feel comfortable with a bunch of potential zombies around me; I'd want to know that if it was coming at me, it was a target. It's like a good FPS -- EVERYTHING is your enemy; kill it all.

I think I'd stand a better chance alone (or with one other). Certainly keeping in touch (via radio or whatever) with other survivors and the occasional one-on-one meeting to exchange supplies/news/whatever, but if you've got 10 or 15 guys together (living, eating, sleeping) and one of them turns, that's bad news for all concerned.

Well, I've gotten my wife to work with the Glock once or twice; I certainly would bring her along no matter what!

I agree, JP. I'm best on my own. Invariably someone will slip, fall, break a nail, or forget how to reload. Not to mention, I've always found few people can keep up with me - over any terrain.

Remember DaFoe in Platoon when he went down in that tunnel to kill those Viet Cong? That'd be my job...

remember, you dont instantly become a zombie. you are going to have to keep an eye on your team. beside, extra bonus if your team consist of a bunch of grid girls, you get to search them throughly for flesh wounds. find one, then it is a quick mercy shot with the nine between the eyes, quick decap with the sword. nuff said.

I am laughing, but it's nervous laughter. I just saw "Hero"and will start working on my flying martial arts and sword work. May come in handy.

Newton knew cooling? How cool!

Superman 09-09-2004 02:43 PM

What about some James Bond-esque specialty items to help you in a pinch, when your life is on the line? I'd probably wind up with those insane inventions from "Tango & Cash", like Kurt Russell's exploding bazooka boots, or Sly Stallone's shoebox lasersight on his pistol.

Realistically, I'd pack a big handgun, something hardy and simple, that will work while full of mud. It'd have to be a wheelgun, as autos would require maintenance that you may not have time to provide. Ideally, a .44 Magnum, with a nice red-dot competition sight on top. I'd probably carry something bigger, but something a little more unique (for the artistic/comic book theme) like a pump action rifle.. .357 IMI Timberwolf, perhaps? or just maybe something practical, like an HK53 with folding stock and optics. A nice backup gun would be a .22 auto (it's a backup), loaded with supersonic hollowpoints for popping heads.

Outerwear is something to consider. Although it may restrict movement, I'd probably wear biker leathers or something that's relatively bite-resistant. No good wearing flimsy chinos when you're knee deep in the bastards. I'd probably carry a small, but razor-sharp tomahawk for close-in stuff.

I'd probably remain on foot and just commandeer random cars (like Grand Theft Auto) when required.

Very, very cool thread, though. ;)

BlueSkyJaunte 09-09-2004 03:42 PM

Are you Aussies actually allowed to own any of that stuff? :D

Adam 09-09-2004 03:51 PM

Sadly, no... I'd be doomed! :(

Without getting political, my government would prefer it for me to face off against the Zombies with a sharpened piece of Mango... :rolleyes:

Actually... speaking of Australian Survival chances, I'd probably make a beeline for Steve Irwin's Crocodile Farm. I'd have to dispose of Steve, on the suspicion that he may be a Zombie (I'm not convinced otherwize), but I'd set up a hideout in the middle of his crocodile farm/swamps. The slow-moving Zombies would be easy pickings for the hungry crocs, while I sit back and smoke a cigar. :cool:

Men, know your enemy!

and Tabs, no offense but we're not interested in Las Vegas losers (present company excluded) wandering around in the middle of the night. We are talking about real zombies so stop joking around!
