Really, if Solanum zombies began a class-four outbreak and the Panic and the army (Poor army) getting it's aft end handed to it at Yonkers was going on, what would you do? and try to think of it as someone who is thinking 'Ohmigodzombiesarekillingpeopleandmakingmorezombies!' rather than with rational forethought.


post, then we will try to guess what would happen...

Go to the pub and wait for it all to blow over.

Standard.

...

See 'how to become a zombie with a very bad liver'

More like "Go watch Sean of the Dead"

but that has no bearing on WWZ...

the zombies became the dominant creatures on the planet in wwz.

Shoot myself.

Kill zombies, what else?

I'd be happy that it had finally happened and this kind of thread will become extinct.

I'd capture zombies and dress them up like clowns.

Whenever I see these (oft repeated) Zombie threads I always think:

'Feth the Zombies, its the human survivors I need to watch out for!'

What are Solanium zombies and what is a class four outbreak?

Gives a wholew new meaning to the phrase: "send in the clowns."

Class 4 outbreaks are more outbreakier and zombier than class 3 outbreaks.

Well, it's a solid plan.

Although I'm being swayed by Monster Rain's Zombie Dress-Up Extravaganza.

Run to my nearest RAF Base and try to arm myself up.....

Or just lock myself in my flat and **** until I go blind......

:/

I think we can combine to the two plans...

It's the next best thing to being a necromancer.

1. So situation normal in regards to any government office.
2. Maybe dominant where you're at. In Texas, we finally have something to do to take our minds off the heat.

Frazzled (throwing the ball to TBone): "Anything you want to do this weekend dear?"
She Who Must Be Obeyed: "I heard there's a Zombie roundup Saturday. We could to that and then go dancing at Oasis. They have a great 70's cover band playing."
Frazzled (sneaking pizza scraps to TBone and Rodney): "Sounds like a plan. I have to walk the dogs first though. Ask GC if she'd like to come along. "

Troy wrote:What are Solanium zombies and what is a class four outbreak?

solanum is an aggressive vermiform virus that melts the frontal lobe and reshapes it into a fully functional organism. Solanum can only de transmitted through direct fluidic contact, such as bites.

a class four is when zombies become the dominant (un) life-form on the planet-you know what? here.

(From: The Zombie Survival Guide0


Solannm works by traveling through the bloodstream, from the initial
point of entry to the brain. Through means not yet fully understood,
the virus uses the cells of the frontal lobe for replication, destroying
them in the process. During this period, all bodily functions cease. By
stopping the heart, the infected subject is rendered ''dead." The brain,
however, remains alive hut dormant, while the virus mutates its cells
into a completely new organ. The most critical trait of this new organ
is its independence from oxygen. By removing the need for this allimportant
resource, the nndead brain can utilize, but is in no way
dependent upon, the complex support mechanism of the human body.
Once mutation is complete, this new organ reanimates the body into a
form that bears little resemblance (physiologically speaking) to the
original corpse. Some bodily functions remain constant, others operate
in a modified capacity, and the remainder shut down completely.
This new organism is a zombie, a member of the living dead.

''It's the best next thing from being a necromancer"

I just do it to see you rage.

ineptus astartes wrote:I just do it to see you rage.

Then you failed even at that.

First off, i LOVED world war Z, easily one of the best books i've ever read. I have read it front to back 35 times and counting.

As for what i would do and have knoledge of Solanum, read Brooks' survival guide, i'm certian survival would be easy. I would hold out until the battle of yonkers took place and wait for every one to head west, chill out in the East as a LaMOE(well Robinson Crusoe since i would not fire on the military forces if they came back). I'd probably head towards New Rochelle(outside the bronx by about 10 minutes) and build my outpost on the very top of the parking garage with the bus station under it. I grow food as is, but the only problem for me would be my Diabetes, im a Type 1 so i need insulin constantly, i do know that diabetics who had no access to insulin and survived infancy and very rarely made it to adulthood would maintain a balance of exercise to keep themselves healthy.

I agree through I don't drink, still just wait for it to all blow over and make game shows about Zombies.

Get to my boat, and leave.

/thread

Be a stow away on Chowder's boat.

Go down swinging.


Come up biting.

Kill myself.

I live in Chicago, and not in the suburbs.

...Fantastic observation there Monster...well done indeed..

...Anyway, anyone who's read one of the multiple " zombie" threads that have appeared in this forum already know "my plans"..I won't bother rehashing them here...

EDIT:...Wait, I will add one thing to my list of " things I'll do during a zombie apocalypse"...I'll make sure to laugh at the dead bodies of all the people that believe they have the slightest idea of how to survive in a full blown gak hit the fan situation simply because they happened to read a few books ( even though they're good works of fiction)...

I'd be patient zero.... Obviously

What's with all these people saying "Kill Myself." Wow... way to take the path of least resistance there buddy...

...Especially for someone who plays Wargames for fun!!

I'd shoot zombies till I ran out of bullets. Then I would stab Zombies till I ran out of sharp sticks. Then I would bludgeon Zombies till I ran out of rocks, then I would probably get eaten by zombies, till they ran out of me.

I bet, given my diet, I taste like a bacon wrapped steak. Mmmmm, I hope they enjoy it... I would.

I would run to a remote region in wisconsin, sururbs where i live will get busy with activity once they run out of food in chicago. Sadly I would only take 4 other people.
