Nah man, your plan is good, just use a black colored RPG and play Black Betty for them to show up
And I can't play yet, still working on it, but getting alot better alot faster than I thought I would. Also, do you know how to keep generators up and running?
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

Yes,but Wild Thing is about as simple as you can get when it comes to playing...no need to BS around being technical.

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

So, like white car, corner house is 6541 address, gas station, doors. I find myself absorbing information a lot easier doing these exercises. I often find myself nowadays mapping a place out when I enter it and locating all exits. I then calculate survival rate by environment, exits, and so forth. I actually pretend sometimes the people in public are zombies, and I do very simple things to avoid detection or to draw attention to myself.
These little games are fun, and they teach you a lot of basic instincts.
I do the whole pretend the public are zombies thing.... but it is to hurry my other half up when cloths shopping....
Word from the wise gentelman... it works, i swear it cuts down 40% of shopping time.

No...zombie strippers=bad,both in the film (yes there actually is a film about zombie strippers) and in any other capacity.
@ KC...
My friend,your "fortress" would be excellent...
Now...if only I could get you past the "Brain Eating" zombies and introduce you to the "True Zombies" of filmdom.
Wow I did write brains..... I honestly thought I wrote flesh eating. Now thats odd. I blame the fact that my brother took both my kids for the night, maybe the lack of "PUT THAT DOWN" and "DAMMIT GET OFF MY REFRIGERATOR" dulled my wits

2 films about zombie strippers iirc. 'Zombie strippers' and 'Zombies Zombies Zombies'....both crap.
Also, do you not class ANY brain eating zombies as 'true zombies'? Yeah, it is annoying when people think all zombies eat brains BUT I do think RotLD is a good and funny film and as quoted in the film "...not people, BRAINS!" It is sometimes a nice change from the 'Romero' zombie, i can even tolerate running zombies most of the time. (I do draw the line and zombies crawling across the celing! Yes, i'm looking at you Day of the Dead '08!)

...I thought RotLD was a funny movie,I own a copy and watch from time to time,and yes...I do consider the brain eating zombies to be "zombies".
My primary problem with them is that it seems (in some cases) they have "overshadowed" the far superior Zombies of Romero and Fulci...in that it seems many people equate zombies to the brain eaters of the RotLD films...if you follow me.
...And I wholeheartedly agree about the Day of the Dead remake....the creators of that film should be fed to Bub.

Yeah, unfortunatly RotLD seems to cause a big divide in the 'true' zombie fanbase. Some love it some hate it, BUT regardless, you cant argue its pedigree as the creator John Russo helped Mr. Romero make NotLD.
I agree 'brain eaters' do overshadow the, imo, better zombies and that hasn't really been helped the last few years with zombie 'interest' becoming much more mainstream than it ever has :(

True,but with "The Walking Dead" and " Dead Set" drawing in respectable sized audiences,perhaps the " Brain Eaters" will begin to be seen more in their proper "Comical" side of the genre.

Dead set was...ok, i guess, have actually been enjoying The Walking Dead but yeah, they do represent the 'Romero' zombie which is a good thing but, though it may make me sound a bit of a d**k, its kinda annoying they are getting/have got so mainstream. Like im assuming yourself are, I have been a 'hardcore' zombie fan for a long time now and, ok, its a good thing in a sense we're getting more 'material' butwe're also getting ALOT of crap plus everyone and thier mothers seem to think zombies are cool to like. Its the same with music really, you like a fairly obscure band and have for a long time, all of a sudden they are really big and everyone is a fan, although i guess it's selfish not to want everyone else to appreciate it, it kinda takes something away from it and why you love it.

Yes,I've been a hardcore zombie fan since I was very young,saw the original Dawn of the Dead at a drive in during it's initial release and haven't looked back since.
I definitely understand were your coming from concerning the new found love the zombie genre is experiencing,it does mean that true fans will have to wade through a lot of garbage to find the good stuff,but...it also presents opportunities for even more "good stuff" to eventually make it's way out.
We can also be thankful that no matter how badly some people butcher the zombie genre,there are certain elements that simply won't come into play unless there done for laughs, a zombie will never be the romantic interest (as a general rule) unless the film is a comedy...or really twisted,so the genre will never suffer the same indignities that the Vampire genre arguably has.
Personally,I just plan to ride this current crest in popularity,enjoy the good...dismiss or ridicule the bad and know that sooner or later the general public will find another Monster de'jour

Hay fitzz, if my zombie free island does not take off can me and my mates come over to america im our boat. we have many bb guns and bow+arrows so we can help out at the fort.
also i can play an awesome jazz solo on clarinet to keep up the troops spirits.
It would be hold up at my work for me. The whole area has a 10foot fence around the edge and every door is 1inch thick steel and bars on alll the windows. It also has a large wearhouse on the rear for storeing cars etc out of site so no one comes to steel them.

All we have to do is blow the bridge.

Every Normal Man Must Be Tempted At Times To Spit On His Hands, Hoist That Black Flag, And Begin Slitting Throats.
For me and my (5) friend's zombie plan, we would grab all of the guns we own. A LOT between all of us, probably something like 40. (I live in the south). We would then gather up some other people we trust, and go steal three school busses. We would load one up with all of the supplies we could gather, one up with all of the fuel we could find, and one with all of our stuff. We would use the hatch things at the top as gun turrets of some sort. Most of us would be in the main bus, with the driver and one or two guards on the the other busses. We've got more thought out, but that's all I feel like typing.
May the the blessings of His Grace the Emperor tumble down upon you like a golden fog. (Only a VERY select few will get this reference. And it's not from 40k. )
