Shadowbrand wrote:Zombies again?

Lame.

My answer is as before. Great-axe and pagan rage. No zombie will be left.

Shall we cleave them in twain with mighty Claymore and Great-axe?

We shall! These "Guns" folk speak of are the tools of the coward!


Besides not even the Undead can rise again after being struck by such.

And my reply is as before Shadow...you storm into a horde of zombies with nothing but an Ax and you can change your name to Shadowchow.

There will probably be a heap of dismembered zombies and a single necrofied Norseman leading the zombies to a bloody victory.

Not saying you wouldn't make a good showing Shadow...but ultimately...your still dead my friend.

Wait.

I have a shield. I could keep them back and hack at them.

And Vikings never raided alone. There could be a shield wall. And archers ready to shoot down turned Norsemen and the zombies as well.

It could work.

But we shall rise, once again, TO VALHALLA!

We shall go to the promised lands to feast, fight have sex, and slumber!

We shall raise an army!

Wait, we have one. DOOMFART.

Shall we assemble them in the end times to fight the Zombies?

I have a better idea.

Now that I am dead I am now obviously a Lich. I will ally with Doomfart and turn the mods into hapless zombies. Then read their minds gain their powers.

AND THEN TURN EVERYONE UNDEAD!..Wait

No I mean maintain the peace over the new Dakka with Doomfart of course!

Of course, of course...

*Sharpens sword with post-it note saying "For the mods"*

Great, now I have to use some TNT to blow out my basement, mount a cannon, obtain some blast resistant body armor, and fire myself out of it to escape the impending swarm.

Also, does anyone know the rough average of how many zombies an average human who does not know how to fight zombies kills before they themselves are killed? Given that roughly 15-25% of my area will be infected before they realize what is going on...

That's difficult to approximate since your dealing with a gak ton of variables.
If your towns population is say 5000 people,of that number,how many are physically capable combatants?,how many would panic in the face of the collapse?.how many would doubt what was happening until a zombie was gnawing on their rear end?

It would be fair to assume that over half of the town will go down without much of a fight in the initial outbreak,of those remaining probably half won't have the capability to survive for various reasons,from that half you can subtract a fair amount who will most likely get bit at some point....so the human to zombie ratio is spread by a wide margin...there will be a lot more zombies then humans.

Erm... Grab a cruise ship, float it of shore and farm ontop of it. No zombies could get you.

There's several segments in "World War Z" where survivors do just this,some do pretty well so long as they insure zombies don't crawl up the anchor chains.

This thread needs troll spray badly.

Shoot, long time no see, Shadowbrand!

My plan is still the same; Grab some women, grab a farmhouse, and raid the town until winter comes, so I can run out and break the Zombies apart as they freeze. Plenty of ways to "pass the time" while locked up with the wimminz, too.

Well met Slarg!

It is good to see you as well. A bird told me Dakka needed Odin's messenger to return.

Yargh matey. Plundering ain't no fun without a bit o' Compatition, ain't it?

Raiding alone never ends well.

NEVER does.

Shadowbrand wrote:Raiding alone never ends well.

I lost me left leg to the Kracken raiding his infernal lair alone. Thankfully, I got his leg. All 12 of his legs to be specific.

I got a spear in the nuts last time I went alone.

Bloody Stamford bridge.

I giggle at the viking references.

Tbh, zombies could never take down a Viking. The sheer norseness of such would bring fear to the hearts of those who can feel no emotion.

Golly! In a zombie apocalypse would Shadowbrand believe it is ragnarok? I'm sure the last thing we need to deal with, along with zombies, would be giants, huge frosty wolves, giant serpents, long dead Vikings, dwarfs, and of course, not forgetting Gods.

Between such end of the world Valkyrie and einjerhar filled battles, I think one or two zombies are going to be the least of the collective problems.

Wouldn't the zombies just kill, and not infect people, when there starts to be alot of them?

A group of zombies would just tear someone apart not bite them, kill, feed and move on as one zombie would.

Yes that would happen, but the numbers would still be in the millions. The initial outbreak is where youd get most your zombies.

One bite is all it takes to introduce the infection into the victim's body, regardless of how many zombies are doing the attacking at least one will bite the victim before the victim dies (in all probability),but I understand what your getting at.
If one person is attacked by 100 zombies.will there be anything left of the victim to reanimate?
The answer...If the brain remains intact/undestroyed,the remains will reanimate...so,you may be left with an extreamly damaged zombie,even a reanimated head incapable of movement...but the victim will indeed reanimate.

Mother of god...

And I thought good ol' severing the head stopped the zombies right in their tracks. How foolish was I.

If I remember correctly all 3 of the romero zombie films point out this doesn't work, as do both of the brooks books.

you're sort of right, it will STOP the zombie, but it won't kill it

Destroying the brain is how you KILL the zoimbie

HIGHJACKED!

What would we do doing a Necromorph attack?

First off, you spelled Hijacked wrong.

But I would grab my electric carving knife and go at it.

I reject your reality and substatute my own.

I don't know, I don't think it would be wise to get that close to them. But seriously, what do we have that could sever their limbs at range?
