With zombies running around, the only way it will be economical for you to do any looting is if you're going to loot a store that sells a fair amount of ammo.

We can loot when everyone else is dead. In the meantime, we are fortunate, as the zombies have started in Cambodia (according to the reputable news site), so we have time to prepare.

Gentlemen! Grab your women and make for UT!

link pls?

As far as we know, the zombie outbreak in Cambodia was contained and neturalized by their armed forces.

What I find quite menancing is that the virus is spread through mosquitos.

Get your DEET ladies and gentlemen.

That is the link. But look at the date on it and the URL, it is obviously fake.

5/1/2005 4:32:53 PM

Okay. I checked that out.

But what if the zombie virus was spread by mosquitos?

That would put a twist on the situation.

SCREENS OVER WINDOWS?

TRY METAL CURTAINS?

where do they sell those anyway?

5/3/2005 2:51:03 AM

what if the zombies spread their disease by farting?

5/3/2005 2:54:35 AM

What if farting wasn't mentioned every 4 seconds for the sheer joy of seeing the word farting?

5/3/2005 8:32:34 PM

Could zombies even really exsist

I said that a few pages back but didn't get many responses...

Look, we covered that issues: if it's spread my mosquitos, we're all fucked. It's one thing to hide from six-foot-tall zombies. That's doable. But little mosquitos who can get in through the smallest of holes and who are probably already in the building anyway and who will outlive the zombies and still be around when we need to get out? Just give up, man.

vombies alledgedly exist in the Carribean, where they are poisoned with a Puffer fish by a Vodoo Priestess, its stops all vital signs and local doctors declare them dead. They are then dug up and taken to work on plantations, periodically stunning them with the puffer fish in smaller intervals

5/4/2005 12:05:54 AM

I say that if the magical zombie virus was spread via passing gas, i.e. farting then we all better hold in our gas in really, really well.

5/4/2005 12:35:40 AM

WOW 14 Pages.... its amazing how little people have to do...

5/4/2005 1:13:04 AM

We all take time out of our busy schedules to discuss zombie. If it ever happens, we'll be glad that we took this time to prepare.

5/4/2005 3:24:22 AM

you aint no count

5/4/2005 3:27:37 AM

Holy shit....do you guys realize what the population density is 'round campus. Its fucking huge. I live in a dorm and im pretty sure that while I am pretty sure I could barricade my suite and hide in the bathroom for a few days, I would certainly die of starvation. Then you have to think, are they mindless like in Dawn of the Dead or just blood thirsty like in Day of the Dead, cuz if its the latter there is absolutely no chance. For those of ya in a dorm room, could you imagine waking up to see your roommate a zombie...jesus. I think I would just shit my pants and die. Ever since Ive seen that movie ive been having survival dream about this very senerio, and lemme tell you I have a pretty good imagination and no matter what i come up with in dreams the zombies almost always get me. Good post, and I would love to see an article in the technician.

You would have to be a pretty heavy sleeper to be able to sleep through a zombie breaking into your room, biting your roommate, then leaving (and shutting the door behind him so the screams from the hall wouldn't wake you up).

5/4/2005 9:08:38 AM

Last night i had a zombie dream, and i dreamed that it was time to enact our plan.

in my dream dogs were affected too. that sucked.

5/4/2005 12:11:23 PM

Well dogs could be affected if it were like the T-Virus.

i tell you what... zombie dogs are some bad ass mother fuckers.

5/4/2005 1:11:07 PM

My plan of action is as follows:

-Find and steal weapons.
-Stay as far away as I can from the massive amounts of people making their way to UT and a sure death.
-Hole up for a few days.
-Make my way to a bike shop and steal a motocross bike. This will get me out of the city, no problems.
-Find Snewf and hang with him while eating twinkies and smoking up.

I've seen every zombie movie out there. At least 75% of you who join in this foolhardy endeavor will die. Most likely there will be 2 or 3 survivors. 1 of which will be either an ex-cop with an attititude or a young, precocious scientist who finally found something to live for.

You people stand no chance. Make your time.

I'm still seriously disturbed by this guys fantasy of being hero and lord to groups of helpless women

I think the only fitting way for him to be dispatched is to be devoured by a zombified harem

5/5/2005 5:58:26 PM

I hear that. The guy who always wants to possess women in the zombie situations NEVER EVER makes it out alive.

5/5/2005 6:00:49 PM

*cough* FLY BOY *cough*

5/5/2005 6:02:18 PM

btw Snewf, since i was an eagle scout and know how to shoot a gun, i can you, right?

Plus i'm good zombie fodder if they need to be distracted while you get away.

That particular statement was intended as a joke, to go along with the joke article, both of which were nice diversions from the otherwise deadly serious conversation we've been having.

I, meanwhile, am seriously disturbed by your complete self-centeredness and total disinterest in the future of the species, which you seem to have casually written off.

Quote :

"The guy who always wants to possess women in the zombie situations NEVER EVER makes it out alive."

I don't want to possess anybody, I want to see the continuation of the species. That's never going to happen without rigorous planning and structuring. The odds of individual males and females not only surviving the attack, but subsequently finding each other, having children, and meeting other families with which their offspring can procreate are virtually zero unless all the reproductive partners are together from the start.

Quote :

"My plan of action is as follows: -Find and steal weapons."

Yes, surely you will do this with no particular problem while the zombie chaos is going on all around you. No, really. It should be nothing for you to walk up to the gun store -- which surely no looney will previously have entered and fortified with the intent to shoot anyone who approaches -- and nonchalantly fill a bag with guns and ammunition, which will clearly not already have been looted. Idiot.

Quote :

"-Hole up for a few days. "

Holing up without proper fortification is the sure suicide, and "proper fortification" doesn't come from one man in an extremely temporary domicile. You will be isolated, overrun, and zombified with ease.

Quote :

"-Make my way to a bike shop and steal a motocross bike. This will get me out of the city, no problems."

So what you're assuming is that:
1) You'll make it to the shop without being eaten
2) There will be any bikes left
3) You will be able to consistently move at a high rate of speed without crashing or having to stop for anything (either of which would leave you exposed and surely dead).

How long were you planning on keeping up number 3 for? Until you get into the middle of the country? You don't think that anywhere between here and there you'd have to stop in some dangerous place? You've clearly spent too much time watching the movies, and not enough processing the information.

5/8/2005 1:29:37 AM

Please understand that I would never publish my full plan for 3 reasons.

1) I could care less if you guys survive, and I'd actually get a kick out of seeing your reanimated corpses. You have no idea how much pleasure I would get from decapicatating Smath74 and NCSUStinger.
2) I don't have the time in the day to do this while at work (only place I have internet connection atm) without getting caught. Therefore my posts are generally limited to "OMG" and >.<
3) The Zombie Survival Guide that I bought 2 days ago says I'm right.

5/9/2005 6:21:56 PM

^ if I run into you you're welcome to try to survive with me

5/9/2005 6:24:06 PM

I'll carry my 250 page manual at all times in case of an infestation. That way you can refresh your zombie knowledge if you haven't read it.

5/9/2005 6:25:48 PM

its sitting on my bookshelf right now, actually... no wait its behind me on the seaman's chest

next to my shotgun

5/9/2005 6:32:03 PM

Just remember...

I'm the pitcher, you're the catcher.

5/9/2005 6:32:58 PM

let me reitterate... shotgun...

5/9/2005 6:34:01 PM

K, well while I'm making my way out there, you'll need to find some farm animals then. Preferably something we can eat once I've had my way with them.

5/9/2005 6:35:05 PM

get all my swords and knives in my car
steal all the food i can from the gas station and other shit while stealing gas too.
try my best to get to my girlfriend and get her with me.
try to make it to some place fortefied with lots of stairs and floors and locks lol
like somewhere i dunno.
and hole up till things stop being so insane and chaotic
then get in my car and make a run for it
hopefully i could slice anyone who gets in my way with gf helping
and hopefully my car could run over anyone in my way
then i would be home free.

but that would prolly not work
just like every other plan someone would come up with
maybe id just go to gregs house
and team up with him and his bazillion guns
and hole up there
try to get my gf of course first.

you don't need a million guns

nor do you need automatics

you need something that you can make repeated headshots with

5/9/2005 6:57:02 PM

Those denying the presence of zombies may very well be zombies themselves.

5/13/2005 10:31:27 AM

Zombie invasion, I would head out to Jordan lake steal 3-4 boats(withthe help of friends) and just anchor them in the lake way out, fish for food, plenty of water, enough woods on Islands to get for fire wood...could live for awhile on a couple pontoon boats lashed together

5/13/2005 1:41:04 PM

^ hmmm that's actually not a bad idea

it would be better if you could get cooking supplies so you can boil lake water before drinking it. Rotting corpses don't make for very clean water, even if they are re-animated corpses.

5/13/2005 1:45:40 PM

yeah but figure I got wood for a fire, I woul dhave a pan to boil water...

5/13/2005 1:52:51 PM

I think you're both neglecting the factor that, historically, boats and fire don't get along well.

That said, your plan is solid for a group of four or five. Don't forget shelter (death from exposure sucks) and the potential for bad weather, though.

5/13/2005 4:20:54 PM

never been on some of them pontoon boats, they got grills and all sorts of stuff on them, my buddy parens have like 3 rooms on theirs and a back porch! and a shitter!

5/13/2005 5:39:30 PM

there are a bunch of tiny islands out in Jordan lake with no people on them

they would make a fine residence in a pinch, and it's more solid than a boat in case of a storm

5/13/2005 5:42:39 PM

Islands are definitely a good bet, assuming, as we've mentioned several times, that you manage to get all the way out there without incident, and have time to pick up supplies, etc. It also assumes you'll have a fairly small number of people to support, and that nobody else has had the same idea.

5/13/2005 10:48:54 PM

your right the idea sounds right and people will even belittle you about thinking about this but when the shit hits the fan everyone knows theyve given this some thought, b/c im sure everyone has seen at least some zombie movie and i think everyone would think alike. especially after DOTD and head for a island.. my solution head for the hills... i think if i had a nice rural home i would be ok. a little ammunition and a isolated open fields... grow a little and target practice

5/13/2005 11:01:25 PM

i love this dream, i always fuck zombies up with strange stuff.
