Well I'd make sure the zombies were placed in strategic places to cause the world governments to collapse but leave intact those things essential to rebuild my own new society after I release the zombie killing plague I made in advance.What? This is a plan right? Therefore I'm obviously on the side that caused the zombies in the first place.
Of course, you would have to be in a position to control them.
Pfft you make it sound like I don't have minions to do that for me.
@tsuyoshiro: Well zombies would obviously only be stage one of the plan for world domination. Also I don't really care if I make making more zombies impossible. People will already have figured out how to deal with zombies anyway. It'd be better to pull some different sort of unholy atrocity out of my hat the next time.
Minions are only so dependable.
Also, they can't be war crimes if there isn't anyone else around to judge you.

We have a little saying here in Tennessee: "If you don't like the weather, wait a day, and it'll change."And goddammit, it's true. One day, it'll be low 40s, the very next day, it'll be high 60s, and even worse.
I want it to be cold. I love the feeling of snuggling up with a warm blankey. But no, we can't have that here. It has to either be chilly or warm. Mother Nature is a bitch.
We say a similar thing in Virginia. Only it's, "wait a few hours" instead of "a day"
I don't care a lot about the weather, though.
I generally just wear a jacket anyway unless it's the middle of August.

First time meeting. This isn't dangerous for me at all. :roll:Wouldn't be surprised, when I was younger you and I were probably less than 10 miles apart. It is rather slim that we were never in close proximity to one another at one point in time.
Hey, I said you DIDN'T seem like a rapist or a serial killer.
Seriously, that's about as close as I come to complementing someone.

Seems like it's already pretty thorough on the subject. That said, we can easily shift the focus of the topic around a bit.
For instance, since everyone already has a plan for survival, what would you do if you were on the opposite side of the war?
Undead are taking over the earth and you have to deal with these clearly well armed survivors, so what role would you play to bring them to an untimely end?
There's always the option of just becoming a regular zombie in the horde and advance in large numbers; as long as you aren't the idiot up front, you most likely won't get shot before reaching your way to the humans and sinking your teeth into their flesh. Then again, if it is a war of the undead, why go zombie at all? Studies show that alot of people would prefer to be a skelton to a zombie; less surface area to attack, almost completely immune to arrows (Since you run into so many wackos with a bow these days), agile and able to think and move almost like a regular person, despite the complete lack of a brain or ...you know, muscles.
Well, when you start talking about things like skeletons, you start getting into necromancy and the like. And while zombies, by a considerable stretch of the imagination, can be made to seem possible (i.e. by some sort of virus or something), reanimated skeletons and the like are entirely in the world of magics and shit. We might as well take "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" to be an actual threat, and concern ourselves with the alignment of the stars.
You are most certainly correct in your assumptions that skeletons are the least likely of our problems. That said, do we face any other threat besides Zombies? If we take RE movies as a reference, should we be just as concerned over something like this?
Spoiler:
Or is the very idea of it impossible?
The concept isn't completely impossible. The concept being genetic manipulation. But for it to be exactly like it is in the movies isn't likely. And for it to be on such a large scale is unlikely.
But as I've said, you can never be TOO prepared.

Seriously.
When I lived with my grandpa, occasionally we'd get the little thousand leggers, if I came in my room and saw one on the wall, I'd be paranoid all night whether they're in my bed or not. I'm so scared of them I'd probably scream if one touched me.
Although they may be unpleasant little creepy-crawlies, remember: at least the ones you deal with don't have a perverse agenda.
Come on man. It's Man Thing.

Swords and knives.I have a collection of these as well.
I just didn't mention it because I've been too poor to buy any in a long time.
But I AM prepared for the zombie Apocalypse.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
I'm +reping you, since you have weapons for the same reason that I do.
Right on. No such thing as being TOO prepared.
I guess my collection is swords and my Gungrave and Hellsing
Have you guys decided whats the best place to take refuge when there's a zombie apocalypse
Take refuge? Screw that, gotta keep on the move when Zombies are about. Those little bastards will eventually get into any fortified structure, no matter how safe you may think it is.
True that.
A lot of people think a mall is a good idea for some reason, but I don't think so at all.
A place like Wal-Mart would be great if it wasn't a 24 hour place. If there was noone in, you could get in and have supplies for a long time, and it would be relatively easy to defend.
But you are right, the best way to handle it is to be on the move.
You could put together a caravan, you know, strength in numbers, but that might slow you down a bit. On the other hand, by yourself you'd be more vulnerable, in general.
The best response would also depend a bit on the type of zombies, you see.
But that's another issue.
Oh very true, since zombies come in all forms, don't they? You have your slow shambly type with the powerful grip, which are probably the easiest to deal with. Unfortunately, there are also the ravenous, almost ghoul-like ones that are quick like feral animals. You can't hide from those too well, and running just means you'll die tired. The worst ones are the zombies able to use tools. Maybe if you manage to get onto a Boat stocked with supplies and just hang out at sea...don't think I've ever seen zombies swim before...
....
I'm sorry, we kinda zombie-jacked this thread. Please, continue about things you collect.
The way I see it, it's all in how the zombies came to be zombies. If you want to be slightly realistic about the whole thing, and it happened by something like a virus, then their ability to move would be determined by the state of their muscles when infected. If it caused dead brains to be restarted on the most basic level, then however much decomposition had occurred would result in how much they could move. If it infected people who were living, then they would have the same movement capabilities they had alive. Either way, their ability to move would decrease with time.
If it was some type of necromancy or spiritual world thing, then their movement wouldn't be restricted at all, because they would be animated by an outside force anyway.
Really, there are many other scenarios to consider, these are just two major ones.
But it would be easiest to handle the slow moving ones, obviously.
The most difficult would be the ones capable of learning, like you said. Also if they did not decompose as a normal dead body would and coudl be active indefinitely.
...
Maybe this should have it's own topic?
Edit:
It does: here

Yup, I was a boy scout. I started out in cubs and then moved onto scouts. The reason I joined was my mother was trying to get me to do new things. It was her last push to try and get me to do something (I had already done numerous activites before but had dropped them due to them being boring)I got quite a few badges and got to a pretty high rank. I also had to carry the flag a couple of times on Remembrance Sunday. I remember it being pretty damn heavy and had me wobbling all over the place.
Then when I grew to old, I popped over to Scouts and just lost interest, not getting a single badge and generally not enjoying myself. The whole aspect of sleeping in a tent on cold, hard ground didn't go well with me. Ended up dropping it.
Couple months later the Scout master was arrested for having CP on his computer and was convicted a pedophile. Good thing I left when I did eh
Not that it takes a pedophile to be a Scout Master, but does it really SURPRISE you when they turn out to be one?
come on...

Those are true hereosLooking at this video makes me want to join
I love how they say do you want to have fun? All I am thinking is do you want to be in pain?
It is very tough like I said for me I had to study all day and all night everyday not kidding either. When I wasnt going over stuff I was running so Id be able to keep up. I passed out 6 times while I was there just from it being so tough. But yes the things you will learn and gain from this program are greater then anything else. It will change your life forever.
By the comment makes me feel special thank you ^^
I was thinking similarly. Obviously I haven't been through it, but realistically thinking...fire is hot. And people die in that profession.
But I guess saving lives is a noble pursuit and shit.
Also reminded me a bit of those commercials for the military that are like, "Join the NAVY! Be awesome! Fuck YEAH!"
I like to think they are completely diffrent because the only thing the lafd is help people. They dont do it for the money or anything like that and they worked to their limits just to get the job todo this. The navy all you do is sign up. The navy if you stop doing anything you get thrown in jail fire fighters can leave at any time but they continue to put their lives on the line to save people. The sad thing is down in L.A. fire fighters are hated and are being shot by gansters. They see us treating someone they shot so they come back and do a drive by on us.
Oh, I wasn't comparing the two, I just meant the style of the advert.
