It's not like they'd be able to make a private army or anything.

Did somebody say Tomahawks?

I rather avoid going even near a military base. The idea a safe haven there is insane. Post will prepare for like 100K people seeking sancturary and wind up with 600k on the word go. It'll be a mad house because thats a powder keg waiting to go up. There are quite a few reserve centers and NG armouries around......

Well, one of the "appealing" factors of an apoc scenario ( at least IMO) is that by and large money becomes useless...and those who wield power based on wealth and not merit/ know how / fortitude or character find themselves with nothing ( or very little) to " barter" with.

I definitely agree with this....I think that the last things anyone who really wants to survive should do would be to follow the " heard" expecting what's left of " the system" to protect them.

I always love the idea of "let's go to the nearest panw shop/gun store to get weapons."

I am going to guess that the people who own the shops and weapons are not going to be very receptive of people coming to help themselves to them...

D....I we avoid the quikimart gunstores...military weapons....I made a reference..every building has a....never mind...we be very well equip on firepower

Just to clarify, I was deliberately suggesting a REALLY bad idea

I was talking more about the usual "end of the world movie" bad idea of going to the gun store....

I'd say it's somewhat situational...you could encounter a gun store owner who's not exactly a " prime combat specimen" who'd be willing to trade his stock for protection...or you could just end up getting shot in the face.
... Again I agree that following the " heard" to loot Wal-Mart and gun stores would by and large be a pretty bad idea.

Well...I see getting a few hunting rifles....find a place....have a compitition..and shoot famous people that look like people...political...entertainment (female pornstars are not allowed to shot)/news caster....you know....nevermind

Dawn of the dead remake style?

... ...Hollywood Squares DOTD style huh...
EDIT: I should have known corpse was going to ninja me on that one.

Thinking back there were quite a lot of things I liked about the dawn of the dead remake, if only it was possible to combine the best parts of the original and the remake.

@FITZZ what can I say? I have the advantage of youth

I claim the run mill scene

That you do my friend.

I personally liked the remake as well, even though I'm not a big fan of the running zombie genre...I still felt it stayed true to the original.
...Now, the " Day of the Dead " remake on the other hand....I strongly contend that those responsible for that film should have their bellies sliced open and have a starving badger inserted into the cavity.

No...save the badger...we might be starving with a good supply of hot sauce

Jihadin wrote:No...save the badger...we might be starving with a good supply of hot sauce

Oh the badger would get to live through the process, insert it into the offending film makers stomach cavity...let it eat it's fill...then later , if need be, we can make badger gumbo...
...Or were you suggesting we eat the film makers instead.?..

The film makers aren't worth eating.

I doubt we want to have any type of influence over us....I do have a need for decoys...get into a shooting situation..have "decoys" in brightly dressed cloths sprint out in the open...

You can't stand fried food?

I'm not sure if I can like you anymore...

I can't drink any sort of alcohol without my stomach returning it to sender shortly after like one of those picky, pedantic shoppers who buy stuff online just to send it back the day it arrives.

You cannot hate all of us!

More fried food and beer for the rest of us..

... ..My capacity for hate is boundless...but it certainly wouldn't include those who can't eat fried foods or stomach alcohol...more for me I say.

I do enjoy fried food until half an hour after eating it, from then on I'm not a happy bunny.

I do drink though.

I think after careful consideration, I'm going to go with FITZZ. He is a man of wisdom and sense.

Also drinking is best when someone else is paying.

You won't get any more of it really; i'll just eat Corpses' fried food and he'll have my drinks.

Not a fan of beer though, I greatly prefer spirits or cider.

think everyone going to drink whats at hand...and food to...

So you'll die of thirst and he'll starve... then me and FITZZ get more of both! This works well...

Cider is nice, but I prefer whiskey. None of this faffing about drinking lots, I want to be drunk now!

... ...Well...thanks for tossing a monkey wrench into my plans.
...Of course there is one small flaw to your plan....if you consume corpses share of fried food along with your own, and he consumes your share of alcohol along with his own...he's going to be falling over and useless...and your going to be too fat to run if we have to.
