    OP? What is that? Is that what I'm asking, the plan. EDIT: Oh, you made the topic... Sorry -_- I just noticed that now.

    Still confused but I will try and answer...If you are asking what's my plan for killing a zombie...it's aim for the head, any weapon will wo

    Plans are for suckers, I'll just wing it.

    As for morals I think everyone I know would agree that I'd probably die pretty quickly from my ridiculous moral code, my nature is that of a martyr you could say, I make sacrifices to help other people, of course I'm an asshole so I rub it in their faces afterwards and call them useless pieces of shit, but whatever, in any case my morals would probably kill me rather quickly since someone with that kind of attitude would only survive if they are a total badass and while I think I'm pretty badass I'm probably not and I'd probably die trying to do something that is far beyond my capabilities, since I'm kind of an egomaniac asshole and highly overestimate all my capabilities.

    As for cannibalism, considering I almost threw up in the dinner scene in episode 2 it's probably safe to assume I wouldn't do it or let anyone do it even if my life depended on it.

  • I believe in safety in numbers. And yes, I know, the cons of it. But I'd rather have a huge group than be by myself where I could be overpowered. A group like (TV) Rick's, where everyone is your family.

    Of course, I'd keep my morals and only kill if it's needed. I've come to realize, that usually it's the people with morals who survive the longest. People view them as weak, meek and frail individuals, but in all honesty, they overcome the inhumane threat. E.g, Governor, Carver, Terminus, Stranger, etc.

  • Yeah, I originally just posted that, don't know why I edited the rest in afterwards, lessened the punch of the first thing that my head came up with, in any case there's no point in planning all plans go wrong eventually.

  • Same. Every plan has a fault, winging it is the best we got.

  • I'd join a average size group and try to be nice to everybody.

  • Of course I would do anything for them.

    Sounds very protective, very respectable.

    Okay, time to put my TWD knowledge to the test. I'm pretty sure that most strangers wouldn't be nice, so I'm rollin' solo. I would get as much food and weapons as possible and then I'd get away from the cities and perhaps try to survive in the wilderness. In the beginning all of the zombies will head towards towns where people live. I wouldn't trust any communities because usually, they're ruled by a madman, they fall eventually and sometimes they just don't exist. I wouldn't resort to cannibalism and I would try to be nice to everybody, but I would be constantly paranoid and suspicious of them. And I wouldn't have the stomach to cut my arm if I got bit, even if someone volunteered to do it. I'd just put a bullet in my brain. And even though I'd try to keep my humanity, I would do everything if it meant my survival. I think I could survive for like, a year but when the supplies got scarce and the zombie herds increased I'd be fucked.

    Strategy:Get my relatives, people i know etc., get guns, get food and water, get a way of transportantion and/or look for a save place, i'd also use the technique that Milton uses on the TV Show (wrap clothes around your arms with duck tape) and helmets.

    Morals:Kill only if necessary, no one is left behind, family and friends before strangers, try to keep my humanity, hope is the last thing you lose.

    How long would i last?: Hmm hard to tell, people depict zombies like slow unintelligent creatures, but what if they can run? what if they have some sort of intelligence? so it depends on the type of zombie.

  • I belive that Christa is right and big groups are dangerous. However, it depends on your plan. If you keep moving on, you better have no more than 6 people since it will be easier this way. If you want to create a settlement, a big group will bring you a lot of help in creating a community. I will have a mixed plan - I'll get a small group and keep moving somewhere further from the cities and them find a good place to create a big commuity. It should probably be near the river or in the outskirts in the city.

    Talking about morality, I'd say that world goes to shit and we've got too much problems to become cold-hearted individuals. I'd try to be nice yet quite suspicious (basically, I'd act like Christa again). I'm an introvert and I'm taht kind of person that can trust people that are very close to me, so it'll take time to gain my sympathy. Once a person proves that he's good then I'm cool with him. It counts for everyone - and for liabilities too. I'll create a list of rules and one of the first rules there will be "don't leave anyone behind". If I can help people to survive then why not do it? Ben, Sarah and other weak people deserve to live too.

    How far would I go? That's a tough question. No one knows how he would act in a dangerous situation. But in my opinion, there are two debatable things I can do: killing and stealing (NOT robbing). However, if I would steal in any way to survive, I'd kill only if neccessary. For example, in a self-defense or out mercy Though I have no idea how ZA wil change me. What if I will grow up cold-hearted?

    It's also a hard question about how long will I survive. I will try try to analize myself.

    Pros:

    • I'm smart and I can always come up with a good plan

    • I'm careful, calm and rational and I won't do debatable things in a heat of the moment

    • I learn pretty fast so it won't be a problem to find out how to defend myself

    • My parents are doctors so I know at least something about medicine

    • I do not take any unneccessary risks

    • I'm quite mature for my age so I think that I will be able to adapt to the new world

    • I'm healthy and I can run pretty fast so it doesn't make me a liability

    Cons:

    • I'm only 12 and it will be hard for me to survive

    • I'm a quite stressful and emotional perosn who cries a lot, I might get into depression or worse

    • I panick in fast and dangerous situations

    I think I might survive for at least a year. Most of the cons will be erased 'cause I will learn how to survive and my personality might change. It's hard to tell, honestly.

  • Strat: Get my family and go to the closest oil rig because zombie survival guide told me

    Morals: Be passive unless threatened, help as many people I can (as long as I trust them)

    How long would I last: Depends if my lungs can handle the salty air + how sturdy oil rigs are to storms and such

    Running zombies or I Am Legend zombies? Off myself.

  • Strategy:
    Get to my parent's farms and try to get as many supplies as possible along the way.
    The farm is 25km away from the closest town, which has a population less than 30. The farm should have a steady supply of sheep/food and in the surrounding (25km radius) area is at least 500 tonnes of grain. Additionally, there is sufficient water around in tanks, dams and wells that surround the property.

    Mortality: Help who I can when I can... I pretty sure virtually no one will rock up to farm house to ask for help anyway

  • NO MORALS!

    NO STRATEGY!

  • To be honest I would probably die within the first week of the outbreak, well I think most people would because people would have no idea what's going on and will make dumb decisions which results in there death!!!

  • lol this is kind of similar to my ebola strategies thread XD. We should merge them together, so we can talk about our strategies for both outbreaks

  • Yeah I don't want that because yours is different and I don't want your Ebola paranoia everywhere here.

  • I choose 3 months because I think I would die from hunger if anything.

    Still hard to tell,there's lots of variables, but maybe i'd survive around 1 year.

  • Luck would be a major variable...

    You lucky?

    1. I would form a group with my friends, but the problem is, iwouldn't trust anyone because when it's a ZA, people do crazy unexpected shit. You form groups who will have families, if a family member is in danger or infected, people will change and go to drastic lengths to try and save/help a family memeber. So i'd probably form a group but would rely on myself more then others.
    2. If it got to the point where i was that hungry and weak then i would resort to eating people, you have to do what you have to do to survive. If it was bit, it really depends where, arm i'd chop it off, leg or anywhere else, just leave it and try to stay and help people for a slong as i can.
    3. Really depends on what i have. First thing i'd do would be get weapons, then try and get supplies. I actually wouldn't mind an underground morgue, like what Vernoon and his group had. It's hidden, you can sneak around. If i had that, then who knows how long i could go on for but the problem is, with the outbreak getting bigger and bigger, its going to be hard for anyone to stay alive for a long period.
  • Despite the fact that I work in a bar and probably would be there if any apocalypse was starting to happen, I'd lock the place down, get drunk and die happy among the spilled alcohol and broken glass.

    I invite all of you.

  • I might come.

    • Strategy: Get me and my family out of town, and into the countryside. Perhaps somewhere closer to a small town and stay at an isolated place such as a farm.

    Try to keep organised. Stockpile on food, water and medicine. Make sure our defences are up, never get lazy and always try to stay protected.

    • Morals: Help other people when you can. If someone is being swarmed by zombies, there's little to no chance of saving them unless they're putting up a good fight.

    Put down family members if they're bitten.

    Take in one or two people, but keep an eye on them. Check for bites or wounds, and make sure they're not bandits. Be nice to them.

    If we do get attacked by bandits, we simply run. Even if we get split up, surviving is better than fighting at this point.

    • The Question: Would I survive an apocalypse?

    No.

  • Ebola outbreak? Sorry, but EUA already have the cure, simply because I do not fall in this ''experimental vaccine''... They just come up with this and heal a person, but had no news of this experimental vaccine before. EUA government: Fuckers.

  • it's not paranoia. Don't you watch the news?

  • Save the more lives possible, take a extra care of kids, find a good place to survive, ect.(something realy close of Rick or Lee group)

  • That I do! Hahaha a long shot plan, but would be an awesome experience none the less :)

    TWD zombies...Oil Rig? Let's hope you leave near a coast. :P

  • More Americans have died from obesity, tobacco, and alcohol (All separate) but we are worried about a few single cases in America of Ebola. The news says shit for views.

    it's not paranoia. Don't you watch the news?

  • There are much deadlier diseases such as cancer or tubercolosis (which is air-borne).

    Ebola is deadly but not deadly enough to wipe the human population.

    it's not paranoia. Don't you watch the news?
