Decided to make this, since the discussion was taking over the rage thread.

Lock yourself in a room with food and water.
Wait for zombies to all rot away.

Profit.
Die lonely and forgotten.

Surviving zombies is easy enough. Destroy the handful of people originally infected and the disease can't spread. Unless the zombies start out in the hundreds or thousands and widely spread, it would be a cakewalk to eliminate them before you even had to satart worrying about 'survival'.

Go to a small convience store with a truck
Raid the shit outta it
head back home
Make a wall around your house, about 8 feet high.
make a garden in the back yard

peofit and survive like a boss

Get chainmail, axe and a nice safehouse and you've beaten the zombies. Good luck rebuilding!

Zombie Hunter at your service!

Just  drop bircks on their heads from a 3rd story window.

Depends on the type of zombies.

Romero-style slow zombies probably wouldn't get very far, unless you have a situation where everything recently dead rises up at roughly the same time.

28 Days Later-style raging out zombies would spread quite a bit, I imagine, before word of the problem could spread or major institutions could be mobilized against them.

Goodluck as they will never stop coming, and will eventually break in.

They'll rip that up. 100+ zombies will grab you, and eventually crush you to death.

If you start killing people before the outbreak is large, you'll be arrested for murder. Dontcha luv it?

[Taricus]

Well, you could steal a battleship and fire the shells at the zombies. Gibs everywhere!

I think that the whole point of the zombie genre is that they're easy to survive against (yet somehow they manage to eat everyone else), thus giving you free rein to do whatever you want in a world filled with humanoids who are acceptable targets for shooting (and also move slowly).

BTW: Salmongod, have you played Cataclysm? (check the other games forum if you havent)

[Nadaka]

In a Romero event, all people who die with their brain intact become zombies. This presents an advanced persistent threat of outbreak that the modern plague style zombie threat does not present.

For a slightly different take on this kind of thing, you can check out the Monster series (Monster Island, Monster Nation and Monster Planet). Where all dead rise, but if you can avoid the brain damage from hypoxia during death you rise as an intelligent undead with all your human memories but an insatiable hunger for the flesh and life force of the living.

In all honesty, I'd probably drive out into North Carolina's more rural regions for a few months and wait for the initial burst to calm down. After that, my group and I would loop back around to Fort Bragg and salvage as much as possible: guns, ammo, artillery, tanks or aircraft if any are left, and enough cargo trucks to carry all of it and more. Then we'd head back to Raleigh and clear out the city block by block, walling off areas when we stopped until the city belongs to us again. Then we'd establish the Free City of Raleigh and I would try to win the first election. That would eventually be expanded to the Republic of Carolina as our manpower and cleared areas expanded, and eventually we might re-establish the United States with any other states that have sprung up in the time it took for the infection to subside. And then, conquer everything that is still infected by destroying the zombies there and annexing it under the authority of the New Union. Of course, that all assumes that the world manages to fully collapse under the zombie menace, which I doubt.

Oh yeah, the zombie genre is a complete power fantasy. You get to spend your whole life shooting zombies and doing whatever you want, dangerous, but certainly not boring.

At least nowadays, I guess. Coincidently, most modern zombie movies suck.

Except 28 Days Later.

[Grimshot]

 Zombies freeze right? Well I would just get my family together, load up our guns, ammo, and MREs and keep heading north until its too cold for the undead. Alternatively, we could just take over Mackinac Island, I bet it would make a good stronghold.
