Erm. ESCAPE PLAN 29!

*Flash Bang*

[wehtamjd92]

also things can live without oxygen there are anarobic bacteria which dont use air or the deep sea variaty which use volcanic chemicals

[Duke 2.0]

 Idea for perfect zombie protection: Volcanic caldera. Sure you won't be able to breathe with all the toxins in the air and the heat, but at least the zombies won't get you.

[WorkerDrone]

Ah, but then that would be quite against the point of trying to survive. The only thing to do about it is go back to the drawing board, and try and find a plan that doesn't get us all killed. That seems to be harder then I first thought it though.

[Duke 2.0]

 Sealand?
 Unless some smart zombies take over an oil tanker and plow it down, you could survive reasonably well. Then set out boats to salvage supplies from the English mainland to create fields for plants. You will literally build your own country.

 And considering that Sealand is supported by vertical supports, climbing from the ocean depths is not an issue.

In my mind, no zombie attack can wipe out the army.
What can zombies do against, say a sov. BMP?

Other then forming such a large pile over it, that there is no air, after it's already out of bullets. And gas. It would end up being one armored veicle destroying a couple of thousand zombies each.

^ EXACTLY!! All the "official zombie books" depict zombies as being able to convert 5 quatrillion humans before they die, but in reality, the average human would be able to amass such a high amount of kills before they go down that zombies would be a cinch. Our only real threat is if they convert the carp.

[WorkerDrone]

By the way, If you would say WWZ was kinda unrealistic, well zombies are kinda unrealistic. Its fiction. Zombies, of the non-voodoo variety are pretty much defined by British and American Pop-culture. 28 Days(Weeks) Later, Dawn of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead...Night, Day, Land. You name it. Comics? Sure. Books? Even better. Its suppose to be fun, but its been named possible because of the way it happens.

One zombie, the spread, the blood bath, the slow burn, the failed fight, destruction.

Survival. Thats what draws us to the idea of zombies. Undead, which do not breath. Which do not sleep. Which do not 'need' to eat, but feel a neverending drive for flesh. Those, which can not feel emotion other then a lust for blood.

Or anger, uncontainable rage that is triggered by chemicals from some freak lab experiment. If you don't see my point, its that zombies as what were talking about, have all those attributes and more. If you say your talking of zombies that can breath, then your talking of zombies that arn't zombies. That arn't UNDEAD. The very idea of zombies is simply them being mindless eatting machines, that spread terror, and the infection itself, until were either all dead, or they burn themselves out. Whether or not one gets stuck in the snow for later terror is not the point.

A zombie, is defined by what the majority, hence the pop-culture, define it as. I think it's really a way of saying that if Humanity grows to large, it'll eat itself to near death, then burn itself out. Engage restart.

[Jetman123]

Again, there are usually larger undead. Like Left 4 Dead's Tank. Which could probably take out a tank. It moves like an angry gorrilla and would be hard to hit with a main gun, and you need something along the lines of 200 7.62 bullets to take it out. (Or concentrated fire) By the time you got off 50 the tank would have crushed the gun and then crushed the turret, plucked the crew outside and murdered them horribly.

[wehtamjd92]

but only a head shot kills the rest will just mangle it but its still alive

[umiman]

I was going to provide an argument using physics to explain why even a tank would die to a real machinegun, but it's pretty obvious that real physics don't exist in the world of fiction.

[sonerohi]

In the world of fiction, zombie breath can spread the infection virus to all people in a 500 mile radius, the heads are the only weak points, they can disappear to dodge bullets, etc. etc. etc.. Really, the whole zombie thing is a tired concept, because of exactly what WorkerDrone was talking about. People need some sort of thing, they got zombies. They need to humanize it and make it impossible to beat, even if it means telling physics to piss off. The whole Zombie media oilfield has gotten so many fanboys that have "proved beyond a doubt" that if zombies were to ever be real, they'd all be Shaq, with a laser from their mouth that leaves gaping crates in the whole of a continent, and are; despite normal theories; immune to bullets and all sorts of weapons.

[wehtamjd92]

I think that everyone has their own idea of zombies which makes it hard to talk about since each would have to deal differently based on thier zombies mine just happen to be Max Brookian which means i'm prepared but lets say their more like 28 days later well then i'm boned because i have nothing prepared

[Strife26]

Mind you, even if a tank *may* get destroyed by a gaint tank, what about a warthog? Or even an apache? As much as I hate choppers, they'd be effective zombie killers.

[Strife26]

I shall, once again, resurect this thread.
The most popular work of zombie literature is probably The Zombie Survival Guide, by Max Brand. What do we think of the steps he sugests?

For example, I'd think that an M-16 would be a superior weapon for use in a zombie situation. Although a .22 is a really novel idea.
