Your siege defense tactics for starters. You are relying on weapons that can do a lot more damage to the user than to the target, especially to the unprepared and amateur, weapons that also have their basis in large part, on causing fear and pain to the target. You're trying to use traditional defensive means to fight a non-traditional enemy.|

Then there's that whole having to deal with other living people thing. |

There's just too much going on to rely on going solo with a machete/crowbar, ninja skills and Max Brooks. (Especially if we're talking 'Return of the Living Dead' zombie types  )lol, debating zombie apocalypse tactics.

two things:
first, there can't be a "new version of LSD", LSD = lysergic acid diethylamide, so it's either lsd or not. at best it's a horrible facimile, that apparently makes you strip naked and eat peoples faces. there can be some bad side effects from lsd, but i don't think face eating is one of them.
second, i think discounting the initial cause of the zombie apocalypse as designer drugs in bath salts as an impossibility is a mistake, sounds very plausible to me.
third, (i know i said two things, but just deal), because you seem to be trying to suppress the truth about the end times, you will not be allowed to borrow any of my machetes!

Thanks for the update. Well it's a good thing that I've been working out and sparring. Let me know if you guys want me to tag along but I will warn you I will not be the hero...I've seen plenty of horror movies and I very well know that Zombies find Dark meat to be very tasty. *BURP*

awwwww, come on, we can call you Tater "token" Todd.
actually, i've always wanted to test that theory, by screwing with the monsters/bad guys, i say we get 5 or 6 black guys, baddies will have no idea who to kill first, all the good guys escape while the baddies wander around confused or argue over who gets it first. it's a good plan!

Looking into what it would take to up the amps on a typical stun baton/cattle prod to make it 'lethal'. 1amp to kill a normal human; ?amps to off a shambler with a prod to the face?
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars

I agree though I always wanted to test that theory as well. Maybe if you get a black guy who is immune and also gifted with high regeneration lol. The perfect Tanker!

Switch the insecticide in a crop-duster to a propellant then dust-n-burn? Low tech carpet bombing.

T-Dogg is a joke...a fluke lol. He's just there to keep the suspense up because we all know that he should of been dead by now according to horror movie law :P
I am SO going to get a super soaker with Holy Water and Lemon juice :P.

You're not Frank West. You haven't covered wars, you know.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the dude was apparently on enough drugs to buzz Keith Richards.

Any chance of a link to this?

Read it this morning at work, can't remember what publication/site. I'm sure if you spend a little time using Google you'll find it.

So how long until we have more zombies than living? I have a plan but no supplies yet and still havent figured out who exactly of the people i know would be reliable and not just extra weight.
Quote:
"Extra weight" can be useful in certain situations. Such as needing a distraction for the zombies so the useful people can get away. Just be sure to give the extra weight a liberal dousing with steak sau...err...zombie repellent. |

Infection would be quick during the first few days as people will assume "zombies" are just a news invention/hoax. The sheep won't recognize it till it's far too late. It'll probably be along the lines of an exponential curve that'll reach a plateau eventually. It also depends upon the countermeasures used and whether or not countries can keep their borders closed. Obviously, places like Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa are boned. New Zealand, Hawaii, Australia, Japan, some of the Phillipines might hold out longer if they can cut off incoming flights and freighters. However, that'll only last till the drifters and the ocean-walkers reach their shores.

I'm tagging along to. I have 12 years military experience and have been a nurse for the last 2 years. I'm also a decent shot. And strong as an ox.
Me, I'm headin' to the Caribbean if it happens. Get a boat, load it up with fishing gear, seeds, some tools, basic medical gear, books, solar charger for my mp3 player, and some barbed wire. Find me a nice little island with a sheltered cove to store the boat, set up a barrier fence on the beach to keep out the ocean-walkers and any potential pirates. Build a nice little shelter, plant some crops, and ride out the apocalypse in paradise.
