plans for the inevitable undead uprising

<< < (2/184) > >>

KharBevNor:


This is an ocean fort. It is a couple of miles off the coast from the Isle of Wight. I own a boat. In the event that we have zombies that can walk across the seabed or the Isle of Wight is somehow infected otherwise, my plan is to get a good selection of hand to hand weapons together, attempt to acquire some rifles and shotguns, hopefully successfully, and a good store of canned and otherwise long-life food, and hoof over there. At least one further food trip would be made immediately, whilst the zombie uprising was still ongoing. I would take in a certain number of other survivors apart from family/friends, based on a careful analysis of survivors and food. The rifles and shotguns, hunting and target weapons ineffective against zombies, would mainly be used for fending off those deemed unworthy, or other such threats. Fishing would hopefully pad out food stocks a bit. Scavenging from coastal towns and stranded boats also an option. Ideally acquire necessary supplies (compost, seeds, maybe some animals) to set up a small-scale farming operation on the fort itself.

I guess I have no good plans for my current location in student accomodation in Bournemouth. I own an axe. I know how to use it in combat. I guess that is as far as my plans go. Actually, I would probably go to Poole, steal a boat, and enact this plan.

i ain't gonna team up with anyone in the event of a zombie uprising unless they can assure me with a straight face that they are willing to shoot anyone, no matter who they are, in the event that they get bitten. there will be zero tolerance for "but he's my friend, a bloo bloo bloooo" nonsense. that's how you DIE. i would want any of you to do the same for me*.


*please make sure first that i have actually been bitten and become a zombie before shooting

Ozymandias:
Slick, you're thinking well, but you've missed the middle step of getting around. If you're in a rural area, keeping on the move would be easy and you're not likely to encounter much resistance from the undead, so getting to a long-term point to hold out isn't much of a problem.

But, if you're in a city, you can't move faster than the person next to you. Getting anywhere in the city is going to be nigh impossible. Cars are useless and running leaves you vulnerable. Unless you are a le parkour master, you're effectively fucked 30 feet outside of your front door, either stopped by a horde of the undead or a mob of stupid, stupid humans.

Unfortunately, my own plan is only effective in the short term. I've considered ways to keep alive for longer than a week, but it would require a mad dash across my town. Lucky, it's small and open enough that I think I could survive but, without a vehicle, there's no way I'm getting out.

Also, I claim Tania for my team when this day comes. Staying alive is cold business; the jaws of the undead are colder.

Johnny C:
Don't isolate yourself anywhere that you can't escape. Khar's is a good idea. RWS' is bad. What if there are zombies on board the ship, or one of your survivors turns zomboid on you? You might get caught by surprise and lose a few of your comrades to zombification. Then what? Get into a lifeboat? You're in the middle of the Atlantic, effectively screwed.

With Khar's ocean fort, you have at least one handy escape route.

michaelicious:
Fuck y'all, I'm joining the zombies. Brains are delicious.
