Zombie Apocalypse

-
As I am, I would die in the apocalypse, but if the question is who I'd want to be in a zombie apocalypse,the answer is very simple.
I'd want to be crazy maniacal A-10 pilot, because it's strapped onto this awesome gun:
!
Flying over zombie hordes… unleashing this upon them... cackling psychotically... I wouldn't even care if I smashed into building or something, the depraved fun would be well worth it. -

Our internal strifes would eventually cause even DarkFalcon's demise I'm afraid.
-
You'd turn children into zombies? How shameful.
No! Just…. train them appropriately... and help them find their true nature.........
That's actually a good tactic. :ninja:
:ninja: Shhhhh!

Our society discriminates against all non-living persons, corpse and revenant alike. They aren't allowed to vote, can't hold jobs, aren't eligible for government assistance of any kind, and are forced to live in segregated communities away from all of us decent, moral, upstanding live folks.

Don't count me among dead yet.
At least not until I organise the following:- Hydro-power plant base, with fence under high voltage and alarm system and at least two alternative escape routes and seagull proven shelter (also observers ready to direct fire at nearing gulls or warn others about danger),
- network of easily accessible (for humans) magazines (far from places frequented by living dead),
- parties scavenging for resources and data,
- points for monitoring movements for living dead,
- radio communication with Chrissie's boat, Aohige's castle and person from the farm. We can at least exchange information, maybe more,
- signs to direct survivors to some place, where it will be easy to check if they are followed by living dead and than transport them or guide to my positions,
- set of signs among people, who would decide to follow me and lists of most crucial resources,
- negotiation with mortally-challenged enthusiasts, aiming at protection of my people without loosing those of different opinion, People are especially valuable in this situation, so no loosing them in stupid way. However protection is unconditional.
Of course with all this I don't plan to die.
-
I would start looking for Vampire or werewolfs. I mean, if i'm already a vampire of werewolf i can't by extension turn into a zombie right? And even if i can i would be a vampire zombie or a Werewolf zombie so that's pretty awesome.
That or i would be the one that founds a gun and turn the barrel towards his face to see if it's loaded and blow his brains out. Darwin award stuff.
-
What about preserving knowledge, so we don't fall into second stone age?
Librarian? Sounds like a person, who can organise data and possibly is good and finding necessary informations.
Maybe if I work for the zombies, a library for the undead, because you know, books are the food for brains.
Some titles:"How to cook brains with no stress", "Philosophy for zombies' and "50 shades of gray matter" -
Just read all the chapters of Magical Girl of the End.
That's got to be one of the most hopeless zombie apocalypse ever. -

That's got to be one of the most hopeless zombie apocalypse ever.The scanlation is butchering English in the very first chapter, but that was an interesting read nonetheless. That's probably what an apocalypse would be like. Without the creepy lolita zombie, that is.
Dammit, another manga I like whose scanlation is reaaaally behind (missing eight chapters)

Umm guys, are we all still arguing
zombie"people of questionable mortality" politics or are any of you still accepting fresh blood (pun intended) in your teams? wavesseveredhand -

Any skill and type of personality may come in handy later.Thanks, DarkFalcon, here's my resume a bunch of posts back: @Pachylad:
which one lets me do the most math that seems useless at first but will actually be practical?
-
Thanks, DarkFalcon, here's my resume a bunch of posts back:
counting our supplies and spendings. Calculating for how much time our supplies would last.
There is also a lot of counting with power plant. Since would we need to produce about as much energy as we use and that needs to be calculated beforhand -
Yes miss/madam!
OK, let's see - supplies will depend on number of cooks willing to use
zombie"people of questionable mortality"* flesh and level of sustenance for the survivors, so we'll place that aside but if it's really urgent I'm guessing a conservative estimate would be… 6 months. (I did not just pull these measurements out of my ass. Totally.)The power plant? Even when excluding costs for initial security measures such as wired fences (so we'd need to do guard duty at first), I'd still need details on suitable locations and provided technology. Oh and labour. Unless we can get robots.
! And not
zombie"sentient object of questionable mortality"* robots like in Space Dandy*Thanks, Robzilla!
-
No need to be so formal with me.
We have someone (person from under the sink) segregate food by due dates. that should help with proper estimations.
I case of power-plant we need to investigate more. It would help to have some engineers, and if possible precise maps and hydrological data. Surely some data can be found in the power-plant itself, but how much of it would be on print and how much only in electronic form).
Also we need to count how many of our people we could assign on power-plant duty. -
If you want to escape the zombie outbreak, study histories greatest pandemics. For example, let's refer to the black death from the 15th century. It devastated both asia, and europe, but had no effect on the inhabitants of the sahara or the americas. Why you ask? Well, to escape the effects, you would need to find a place that was isolated, and remote. For example, the americas were isolated from europe and asia, since people were unaware of their exsistence, and believed there were only expands of ocean to the west of europe, and africa.
In conclusion, if there's ever a zombie outbreak, retreat to some sort of remote, and isolated place. (an island, the desert, the arctic, and so on)
-
Wouldn't we be safe up in the air? In something like a floating fortress.
Or deep down underground. Although I'd try to avoid this one due to several reasons.
-
All right, guys, which one of us is doing the heroic sacrifice?
-
those are good strategies but require a lot of preparations first.
If we go unprepared to he deserts or to the Arctic, it's likely that we all die not knowing how to survive there. The weather itself would kill us. If we go to desert island and cut all our ties with the land we are likely to run out of supplies, and really we would first prepare some infrastructure on that island.
Building floating fortresses or underground shelter would require some time and we really would need a lot of people, many of them qualified in mechanics and architecture.All right, guys, which one of us is doing the heroic sacrifice?
No one. Heroic sacrifices are waist of human resources, especially crucial and especially scarce during Individuals of questionable mortality Apocalypse. And surviving is more heroic than sacrificing oneself.
But I can't stop you if you really feel you have to. -

But I can't stop you if you really feel you have to.Is it really a waste of human resources? I mean, if you impulsively jump out just to be heroic, then maybe it really is good to support darwinism in this case.

As long as he takes a few zombies with him, I don't see why KC shouldn't sacrifice himself.

@Purple:

I understood the question as "so who would volunteer to be heroic sacrifice?". Of course I can't stop people for offering themselves, but first I'd like to point out idiocy of it and direct them to more favourable alternatives.
I do not want to cultivate culture of sacrifice. -

But I can't stop you if you really feel you have to.You raise a good point, but humans have the ability to adapt. If our early ancestors had to thrive in such conditions, why couldn't we? Plus, the move would only be temporary. Assuming zombies would eventually perish because of hunger (since there's a finite amount of humans in the world) or decay (since they are walking corpses, and are exposed to the elements like snow or heat).

Adaptations don't happen overnight.
Our ancestors, who lived in the harsh environments were prepared to live there. From childhood they were taught how to deal with conditions. Same modern people who live in those conditions. And all people who want to go visit those places always prepare.
We would die very soon have we decided to go to go unprepared. We would die from dehydration on desert and of cold in the Arctic environment. And not knowing well those environments we would make stupid things and get ourselves killed. -

I feel like we get along pretty well Enzeru, but this necrial divide is driving a wedge between us.

LOL, this again? That is some really clumsy Vietnamese right there.
When I saw the username below the thread title on the main page I almost thought there was another Vietnamese-speaking member other than myself.As for the topic, if a zombie apocalypse happens, I'd probably be the mad scientist behind the whole thing. Good luck, mankind.

I do not want to cultivate culture of sacrifice.Well once I have my Cattle Farm secured.
I will look for the nearest Quarry/Strip Mine/Large Inland Gorge, Start building a new secure compound that backs onto the Drop. Then live life normally - anytime a horde comes by I should have gotten a Crane-Truck and I will hoist one of the cows out over the long drop and entice the horde to fall into the ravine.
Such a fall will detroy their bones and no matter how long they can remain undead for they aint crawling out of that pit.If I got stuck in the city I'd do the same thing just with the tallest building with a crane nearby - making sure they fall on the opposite side to the enterence.
-
On the upside, if I do end up being a zombie, I can totally recreate Iron Maiden album covers for fun.
-
Plus, I can finally figure out what's with all the rage these days about zombie hunting games from a zombie's perspective.
-
Ah, to finally see the other side of the undead coin.
That's the dream, bro.

@Purple:

Sounds like a demented straight-to-DVD sequel for Wreck-It Ralph, starring everybody's misunderstood video game bad guy: Zombie!
-
I actually have 24 different zombie plans and one way or the other they all involve Tite Kubo.
-
Getting a gang of my undead friends together and re-enacting the Thriller video has a certain macabre appeal to it as well.
-
I wouldn't be so hasty to become zombie if I were you, at least not until phenomenon is thoroughly researched.
-
Research Smesearch, I'm all about what's hip and up and coming. If I have to lose some brains over it then so be it

"1, 2, 3… go-"
"I lost my hand."
"I can't find my ear."
"Where's my head?"It's gotta be difficult to make it work, buddy.

Ach well, as long as I find some fresh brains on a regular basis I'll be able to work at it day and night for eternity.
Get the ultimate undead thriller dance crew together.

Well seeing as I live next to the world's largest naval station, I would hope that the military had some competence and immediately head there. I'd specialize in culture preservation and bring my One Piece collection (among other things) so that it wouldn't die in a post-apocalyptic world. I suppose I'd also be a fisherman/first-aid guy. We would live on base for as long as it was safe, until the townspeople I had rallied convinced the military to move us all to a nearby relatively secluded island. Once we got there we would send in able bodies to clear out the island, and then start anew there without any fear of zombies (cause everyone knows zombies can't swim). We would learn to be self-sustainable and create a paradise in this new world.
It will be glorious.

I sometimes wonder why zombies are so popular in our current pop culture. I have spoken to people who were literally excited about the prospect of a zombie apocalypse and bought gimmick manuals that contain advice on how to survive. They even hatched actual, concrete survival plans (e.g. don't go down that highway, everyone will try to escape from there, avoid the hospital even if you are hurt, travel to the mountains since the seaside's too far away to reach safely etc). Of course they probably mean it in the hypothetical kind of way like saying "visiting Jurassic Park would be really cool" even though dinos would probably eat everyone after three seconds.
I think what makes it so fascinating to me personally are not the zombies themselves but the collapse of society I guess. I always loved reading Dystopias and to see how the order of a community is actually pretty fragile.
But I think in an actual zombie apocalypse I would be completely useless.
I guess I could be a decoy who could run around to draw the attention of the zombie hordes to mysel? I'm a good runner! :DI'd specialize in culture preservation and bring my One Piece collection (among other things) so that it wouldn't die in a post-apocalyptic world. .
Oh my god, now you made me think of a civilization build upon the messages from One Piece…
Leader: Gather around, children! Today I will tell you about pre-apocalypse literature.
Kid 1: Great! Can you tell us a bit about Shakespeare today? Before zombies ate my mom, she really loved his poetry!
Leader: No Shakespeare today, but there is another great romantic whose name begins with an S! Everyone, open your volume 42 and turn to chapter 403.
Kid 2: Ugh... Sanji vs. Califa? Again? I'm sick and tired of this sexist crap.
Leader: Watch your tongue, little lady. This "sexist crap" saved your life. Remember when you were trapped in that infested building and we relied on the chivalrous example of Sanji to save you?
Kid 2: Yeah, and we lost three men because of this bullshit. Should have just left me there and got on with it, dude!
Captain: Never! A true gentleman NEVER leaves a lady in danger even when it costs him his own life! Have you not understood the teachings of Enies Lobby? And it's not "dude", but captain to you!
Kid 2: Listen, I'm sorry, "captain". I don't wanna sound ungrateful or something. But can we read something else for a change? I found this book called "Lord of the Flies"..It's similar to our situ-
Leader: Mutiny! Get that out of here! Only "One Piece" can help us build a paradise in this dangerous "New World", our own personal "Raftel", where all "Nakama" can find their dream. It will be glorious.

Leader: IT WILL BE GLORIOUS! -
There's nothing wrong with preparing for a disaster.
For example, there was a guy I used to work with that was you know, a bit…crazy.
Anyway I had my escape route all planned out for how I'd escape if I was working when he finally came in with a sawn off shotgun and started shooting people.
You can never be too prepared.
-
I was looking at a thread in a image board when someone asked your best qualities for an impending zombie apocalipsis. Someone answered this:
"I can beat off pretty quietly to prevent being caught by zombies"
Now i realize: i need to step off my game if i want so survive.

OK, there is always the chance that this is a crazy inside joke I don't get.
But just in case you are not joking: WHAT THE HELL.
Did he hurt someone? When did this happen? I'm sorry you had to go through this and I am just happy you made it out!
We see this stuff happening in movies a thousand times but in real life this is a completely different experience. I hope everyone made it out safe…But I guess, you're right. It is a good idea to prepare for certain situations.
After I graduated I remained in touch with my favorite teacher via E-mail. The conversation came to school shootings and she told me that of course the staff tried to prepare for this. For example if there was an armed individual in the building a certain announcement would be made. Something like "The class on Old Greek literature has to be cancelled today. The next class will take place in the second floor".
The thing is, there was no Greek class offered in our school in the first place. Students would tune this out. But for teachers this was the code for "Worst case scenario, armed person in the second floor". With this the teachers could be made aware all at once, while the students remained calm.I was looking at a thread in a image board when someone asked your best qualities for an impending zombie apocalipsis.

I want this guy in my team. We will probably die within 1 weeks, max, but at least I will die laughing my butt off.
