Since I was silly and completely forgot to include the machete, I took pictures of it and the sheath. Very cool looking indeed, and very functional.

Woah... is that dried blood on your machete?

Please let it not be blood, please let it not be blood...

To my knowledge, it is not dried blood. But then again, it was bought in a bazaar in an African village. I see no problems with it at all and it is a very very sturdy blade, not to mention razor sharp. It has the sharpest point on the end of the blade than I've ever encountered.

So, why would this be sold is the question. It very well might have been a murder weapon because it is obviously high quality. Then again, it could've just been sold for cash and no other reason.

Isn't boxing a martial art since it is a sport AND a fighting technique?

I have seen boxers because my sister's boy friend is a boxer. I didn't put him on my list because they live in Florida.

Heres a short story for you: I wasn't there cuz they live in FL but my sister, her boyfriend, his sister and mother were all jumped by 15 black gang members (no one knows why). They knocked out everyone (they were ARMED) except my brother-in-law because he fought back and broke their noses (4), ribs (6), arms (3) in only one punch.

In the end justice was not served. The cops watched but did not help, and only caught the injured because they were in the hospital. My brother-in-law had to take anger management classes afterwards. Florida has the worst laws in America.
Was the Black neccasary?
seriously though sorry about your family dude.

Here's a zombie quiz I saw from a facebook group one of my friends joined:
http://www.justsayhi.com/bb/zombie

I had a 32% survival chance....
Woohoo! 52% for me!

After answering the questions truthfully, I tried to get the highest percentage possible. I got 97%--I'm not sure how to get that last 3%. Maybe, when there's a zombie invasion, absolutely nobody is safe--not even Indiana Jones.

I was able to get 100%. Maybe it was the, "You hear a noise" question (Be silent), or the other question where "Mall" is the answer.

I know this may be digging up something which doesn't need digging up, but ever since I stumbled upon Infection mode in Halo 3, by some strange coincidence, alot of things that occured had the subject Zombie.

Zombies are one of my worst fears. second only to spiders, the thing that creeps me out about Zombies is the fact that they are mindless, they are hard to kill effectivley and they come in MILLIONS!!!

my plan? well, I have a room on the second floor of my house. I am a big fan of the middle england period, the crusades and all that, so i have a broadsword, and a heater shield. not to mention an ornamental dagger from a trip to spain, a baseball bat from a trip to florida, and my dad's sledgehammer in my garage.

my room is situated a little way from my door and right next to my sword and shield. this may be an advantage, but I have a habbit of sleeping on the side furthest away from the much needed blade. if a Zombie breaks in, I'm furthest away from my survival plan and effectivley cornered.

Plan;

1. Survive: use the sword to take out the heads of zombies and try to get to my dagger. make sure the other members of the family are ok. if dead, I'd lop off their heads before they ressurect themselves (it's the only caring thing to do, really)

2. gear up: assuming that I've managed to hold off a wave of zombies, and the area I'm in is quiet for now, I'd get all the equipment needed. I'd suit up in such a manner that all the weapons I need are accesible. brave a trip outside and use which ever of my parent's cars are faster. (thankfully I know the basics of driving) I'd take as much water and non-perishable food as possible.

3. search for survivors and get some ballistics: use the car to get to the police station and get some projectile weapons. if I find survivors, get them geared up and in any disgarded police cars.

4. get out of the urban area: take the convoy out of town and into the country. search everywhere and anywhere for an abandoned farm or house, get in, baracade selves and wait until the appocolypse is resolved

however, because I'm crap in combat, I'll probably die during phase 1.

well, that's my plan

It's been long enough, I can write out my plan now.

First of all, Zombie in my room!

Luckily for me, I have two katanas right there. Now, just to be clear, they're fake, but they are strong enough to bash at least one skull in. If not, the point is sharp, and I could definitely drive it into the eye, then through the brain. Dead zombie.

Now, I gather all my family. I have two elderly that live with me, and they won't be good for much. My sister is generally at college, and the only other person is my mother, who isn't is shape, but is a Nurse. We rush to her car, which is bigger then mine, but built on the same engine, so her gas millage is still good for it's size. After they're in, I leave the garage door open so I can grab supplies. We have several cases of bottled water in the garage, which I'd immediatly put in, along with baseball bats, wrenches, hammers, ice axes, sledgehammers, screwdrivers, basically every tool known to man. Shovels, too. I grab as much as feasibly possible (going for the ice axe/shovels first) and place them, along with the water, in the back of the car while my family stays inside. After that, we get in and go off.

As we're driving, I start to call my friends. Of my close group of five, three of them play Lacrosse, while the other is in incredibly shape from Track. I call them, and tell them to head to Sam's Club. My other friend has a truck, and I'd call him too. The rest of my friends are either too far away, or do not have anything very useful for zombie attack. They can watch after themselves.

Hopefully, at this point the zombie attack is still in it's begininng stages, and so most people will be waiting for the police to quite it. And hopefully that's what happens. But we know better.

We go to the Sam's Club, which is around 15 minutes away by car. If there was a zombie attack and piles of crashed cars, we go on the shoulder.

We get to Sam's Club. Two possible situations. 1, zombies outside. I get out of the car with the ice axe/shovel and start bashing in as many as possible, to try and clear a pathway for the elderly. My mother can help too on this. We clear a pathway, break in the front door (sledgehammer would be great for this), and then escort my grandparents inside, while my mother goes in to protect them while I kill the remaining zombies outside so I can do in as well. If there are too many zombies to kill at any of these stages, we drive off. The sams is close to several smaller stores, we break in to one of them with food and hope for the best.

If there are no zombies, we all get out, break down the door, and get in. Either way, we're now inside.

First thing we do is go for the tires. They're close to the door, and will help. We pile as many of the ties in a massive barricade, thick as possible, but with a single small pathway that is barely blocked for the friends that are coming.

After this, I stand guard while my mother and grandpartens go grab several large boxes of stuff that's not needed (several TVs, desks, dog food, things like that) and use it to reinforce the barricade. I call my freinds to see how they're coming. When they get there, there is again two ways to do it. Either there are zombies, and then I go out with extra weapons for them to help fight their way in, or they just come in. Either way, once all the freinds are inside, we finish the barricade, and make it impossible for a zombie break in. As much heavy stuff as possible.

We then go scope out the store, to see if there are any zombies inside. The three lacrose friends will be given long poles, or an object like that, to help them fend off any zombies. We kill all the zombies inside, no matter how many there are. If there are too many inside, we die, but we'd also die going back outside. We kill them all, no matter how many. No retreating at this point.

After this is done, we start to fortify. We look for all possible entrence and barricade them. We look to find ways to get on the roof (which they have), and make sure we have a temporary barricade that can be easily assembled, in case there is a breach and we have to hold off there. Just a few boxes should do, if we have to go to the roof we'll die anyways, so it's just to make us feel better. Moral.

After all that is done, we look for all possible weapons. I'm actually not sure if Sam's Club has guns, but if it does we get all we can, and move the rest to a more accessible position. We then inventory. It's boring, but we'll find out how much water we have, which is the most important thing. Hopefully we'll find an inventory list somewhere in the manager's office, which will really help matters. After that, we get a list and go through, marking off how many boxes we have of everything. If it turns out there is way too much to make it feasible, we just mark the important stuff (Bread, water, ext), and leave the rest.

We give everyone a flashlight and extra batteries, to have at all time. In case the power goes out. It's for moral.

After all that, we get as much stuff as we can to make a banner with. My friend with the truck is an artist, and he will make a massive sign (with our meager help) to draw people's eyes to put on the roof. It will say "Hello, we're still alive here. Alive since (date)." The date part will not be attached to the rest of the banner, but will instead be spelled out in boxes of non-required things. Every morning, we rearrange the boxes on the roof. This is so, if the Government does launch a mission to help people, they'll know that we're alive, and haven't died in the months or so it might have been. This is very important, because a lot of people will be making signs, and they will not know which ones still have survivors inside, or where made before they died. Very important.

After that, there isn't much else. If we need to go save someone outside, me, my lacrosse friends, and the guy in amazing shape (who has a job at a fitness place, he will be training us to get in great shape, which is needed) will get into my friends truck (who will be driving it). Lacrosse guys in the back with poles to knock zombies away, boxes inside as a sort of truck wall to help them. If needed, the in-shape guy will run like the wind (remember: track) to draw the zombies away from us, before he outruns them and comes back to us with the zombies on his trail. If the rescue is more then 30 minutes away from the Sam's, we don't go. If it is too dangerous once we get there, we don't go. We'd only go in the morning or mid-day, not in the afternoon. We'd not let ourselves get caught out in the open after dark, if something bad happens.

That's basically the entire plan.

Slow to medium zombies, I'd say. If it's fast zombies we're all dead.

If a Zombie appears in my room

Well, I consider my room down in the basement of my house, but I have another room where I sleep. If a zombie should appear in my basement, then I will simply grab my baseball bat and smash it on his decayed cranium until he is dead. . .again. In the situation if the zombie would appear in the room where I sleep, then I will bludgeon it to death with my 360 adaptor or my laptop. Or I might stick a clothes hanger in it's eye(ala Halloween).

Stuff to grab before leaving the house

1. Grab my backpack.
2. Fill the backpack up with some food, a flashlight, bandages, and knives.
3. Get my wallet, cell phone, car keys, house keys, my baseball bats, and a knife just in case I can't use my bat.
4. Get my parents and friends to come with me(if they are not zombified). I am gonna need all the help I can get.


Hiding spots

I have a few locations that I can go to hide at. The zombie outbreak shouldn't be too big since I live in a rural town, so I don't think the situation would get that bad.

The first place I would go to would be one of my friend's house, it's in the middle of nowhere(literally) and they have chainsaws there. The chances of encountering a zombie there would be slim to none.

I also have another friend who keeps a crap load of guns at his house and he also live not too far from my other friend.

I would probably go to the friend who has the guns first and grab a few and some ammo. I would also get him and any of his family over to the other friend's house and hold out there. As I mentioned before, I doubt we would encounter any zombies but there's always a chance.

My Zombie Posse

The Leader/Nerd/Slayer: Myself

-Powers/Skills: I am very smart on the subject matter of zombies and I can be very deadly with almost any weapon I have. I can probably make good decisions, but I might need some advisors for other stuff.

-My weaknesses are: I can run out of breath easily sometimes and while I am kinda strong, I am not like pro wrestler strong or anything. Just strong enough to hold off a couple of zombies.

The Driver/Medic: My mom

-Powers/Skills: She can drive really good and really fast, making the chances of a clean getaway pretty high. She is also an RN(Registered Nurse), so she can be useful in cleaning wounds, etc.

Physical Powerhouse: my cousin

-Powers/Skills: Is a good marksman and has a couple of guns. He is strong as an ox as well.

Royal Advisor: My Dad

-Powers/Skills: Knows the surrounding area like the back of his hand. He would know what would be best in certain situations.

Bonus:

Chances are that I would be barricading the doors, windows, and any other possible entrances in whatever building I am in. I would probably try to calm down anybody who is flipping out about the situation. Depending on if we have power, I would probably watch TV on a low volume so that I can try to hear any moaning, etc coming from zombies.

Man if I was President I would create the "Mandatory Cementation of Coffins and Graveyards" law. I'm telling you all, the zombies will come. It is inevitable.

And LOL did Smashboozer just quote me in his sig?!

Lovin' the new avvy, but I would die before I ever became a zombie!

Also smashman, check out my buddy's credentials for the Slayer. They're pretty hefty.

I'd prefer a cremation approach...how could anyone afford to have their coffin encased in cement?

agreed. it's cheaper, easier and faster to burn bodies than to encase them

last night, I was looking on a site call the Order of Zombie Outbreak Resistance Tactitians, and they say that a few Zombie Viruses are real. Rabies and Ebola are both categorised as Zombie Viruses (but I doubt they come up with the same effect as something like the T-Virus from Resident Evil)

they also say that a sword and brass knuckles are not good weapons. brass knuckles for obvious reasons, and a sword isn't good because (unless it's a katana, or you are a god of all swordsmen) your sword will get stuck in the zombie skull. plus the arms may get in the way.

they also say that Zombies can run, jump, climb and swim, but can't concentrate hard enough to climb a ladder. things that prevent them from running and jumping are decayed limbs, if the limbs are fine, they can chase you down.

heres the link

on the subject of anti-zombie people, I'd say we have our own international militia, with our little discussion of zombie escape plans :)

I'd grab my switch knife that's usually on my person or nearby and would stick the zombie in the neck and struggle to take it down. After a decisive fight with the zombie, provided I win then I'll confirm it's dead by stabbing it repeatedly for safe measure. I'd then check its pockets for anything I could potentially use before leaving.

Evil Eye said:
Five minutes to grab some items from your house. Take your pick!
I'd grab my huge travel bag and then run to the pantry and raid it of several cans or packs of food (I'd probably grab the Ramen first because we're usually in large supply of it). Then I would grab any butcher knives in the kitchen nearby. You can use them as tools and weapons so they would be very useful. I might grab one or two pots for cooking in the wilderness if neccessary. I'd also grab the lighter which is also found in the kitchen. I'd secure my grandfather's shotgun which is in a room very near to the kitchen. Finally, I'd grab any close and personal possessions that are dear to me (I'm not telling you guys what's dear to me).

Evil Eye said:
What's your haven? I have a long-term zombie plan, but there's no time for it if a zombie just got in my room. You need a big safe haven with all the supplies you'll need for the years it'll take the zombies to rot/starve. Arranged in order of increasing zombie urgency... (if you choose to make one, pick one pit stop per haven)
Evil Eye said:
Haven #1

Caution - Just enough zombies everywhere to put any longterm plans to rest, but enough to travel at least half an hour.
Hmm... I'd go to our city's mall about 15 minutes from me. Since I have more than a half hour then I'd go to a pitstop, maybe any random gas sation or a Win-dixie about two minutes from us and secure as much food as possible in the alloted time frame. I usually have a very descent amount of cash on me so I could afford any neccessary supplies. I'd make sure to pack my car up as tightly as possible.

Important things I'll have at this mall:

- Food: There is a lot of food in all the different courts and they all have freezers to avoid waste.
- Weapons: I believe their is a hunter's mart in the mall somewhere. And if not firepower then there is always a large supply of bats or knives.
- Other people: More manpower, intelligence, reliablity, and in desperate situations, decoys.
- Cleaning Supplies: Hey, just because zombies are destroying the world and attacking humanity doesn't mean you should just forget about personal hygiene all together.
- Possible Communication: I understand the electricity could be out but given it isn't then I could use this place as a form of communication and keep updated on the attacks or reach loved ones.


Evil Eye said:
Haven #2

Imminent - Travel time limited to half an hour or less:
The mall still. It isn't too far away.

Evil Eye said:
Haven #3

Danger! - Zombies are everwhere. Travel time limited to fifteen minutes.
The mall again. :p

It's conveniently not that far away and it's the most fortified haven with the best supplies so that would be my destination at all costs. No other place offers as much as the mall does and it's very large too so if zombies do break in then at least I have a lot of space to run and hide.

Evil Eye said:
Haven #4

Abandon all hope - Travel time is limited to running distance. Two minutes by car, if that.
I have to put that shotgun to use in this scenario. If I could, I'd evade the zombies to the best of my ability and force a path to the Win-dixie. It isn't that far away, maybe two or three blocks. It has plenty of food, entertainment, freezers, room, quite a few people, and alcohol (it would be a good time to pick up on underaged drinking in this scenario).

Evil Eye said:
Okay, picked your haven? 'Kay. Let's assume it's one of the less bleak Zombie Imminence levels and you have time to summon friends and family. Be warned: You don't have time to save the weak, not anymore. Think up your own skills and those of your closest friends and family... who could really help you if you had to survive the end of days? What role/skills do they have? It's time to assemble... your zombie posse.

Note: Try to figure out what role they play (not necessarily one of these I've listed or even one already seen in zombie lore), why they are essential in combatting the undead, what skills they have, etc. And remember, this is limited to people you know well in real life and in your immediate city or township. No uncles from the East Coast, unless you live near said uncle on said Coast. Oh, and try to say where they'd get their weapons from.
My Zombie Posse

The Survivor

Refers to a person that's used to living under hard conditions and knows plenty of things to help live for long periods of time under with limited supplies. Is also a very strong person and could double as the muscel. This would probably be my uncle who can think on his toes and is very intelligent and strong. He's also very protective.

- Fighting (Close): His own dagger, bat, overwhelming strength.
- Fighting (Long Distance): Shotgun, random objects like bottles or rocks.

The Brains

Someone that knows the layout of the town and the best locations provided we don't use mine. Also knows several things we could do in this situation or could figure out what we could do eventually. Could potentially increase our survival rate by a significant margin. This would be my aunt.

- Fighting (Close): Probably in need of guarding, possibly me or my cousin as guards.
- Fighting (Long Distance): Random objects.

The Protector(s)

Guard the other members of the team. Descent fighters that will do whatever it takes to protect the group. Not above acting like decoys. Me and my cousin probably fit into this group. Being young, we have enough energy to make quick escapes in case the need arises that we need to be decoys.

- Fighting (Close): Knives, bats, descent fighting skills.
- Fighting (Long Distance): Random objects, guns if neccessary.

The Driver

She's a mad driver and has been thrown in jail for speeding several times. She's also crazy and gets pumped up on adrenaline easilly. This would be my mom. I doubt she would do any less than 90 mph in this situation (or in regular situations either).

Fighting (Close): Knives mainly, also a descent fighter.
Fighting (Long Distance): A gun if neccessary, random objects.

The Cook

Knows how to cook anything and can turn things that would normally be viewed as non-edible into edible things. Or can turn something nasty into something tasty. OR can cook with few to no tools. This would be my other uncle.

Fighting (Close): Knives, bat, descent fighter.
Fighting (Long Distance): Guns.

Well, in ROTLD(Return of the Living Dead), they cremated a zombie but the gas coming out of the burner went into the clouds and caused a rain storm, soaking the corpses in the graveyard with some zombie goodness, giving the people at the morgue a crapload of zombies. But then again, those zombies were reanimated with a nerve agent called 2-4-5 Trioxin.

Secondly, we don't know how this zombie outbreak is started from like nerve agents, virus, etc. So if this was started by special nerve agents, it might be a bad idea to cremate them unless you want to fight even more zombies.

I think we should start covering bodies in cement or bury them with their feet facing the sky, that way they shouldn't be able to climb out of their graves.

Yeah I though so lol. You need to be careful burning the bodies because the disease might be air borne. But that is highly unlikely and it would be convenient if it weren't.

1) A flesh-feasting bugger stumbles into your room. What do you do?


Forget long-term planning. How do you escape your room when he blocks the door? Weapons? Diversion? Window? What's your escape?

Seeing as how I've actually been thinking about this and I want to be ready for anything, I've been keeping my hunting knife directly beside my bed. Roll left, snatch it up, swipe until that dang zombie is down.

2) Alright. So you've escaped your room and mentioned how. Five minutes to grab some items from your house. Take your pick!


I'd have stayed in my room once the zombie is down, but actually, What I would take depends on the zombie danger level, so that will be thrown into the next section.

3) Okay, your five minutes are up and you have to get out. Time to find a safe haven.


What's your haven? Arranged in order of increasing zombie urgency... (if you choose to make one, pick one pit stop per haven)

Haven #1
Caution - Just enough zombies everywhere to put any longterm plans to rest, but enough to travel at least half an hour.

In this case, I would be able to take a few bags, because I could use a car.


First things I would do is grab my hunting knife, and then grab the duffle bag from under my dresser. I would fill that with: Fishing wire, anything with a blade, tools, cards(sanity matters), my binoculars and possibly my telescope, and maybe some glass items.

Then I would take out my other duffle bag, and fill it with any arosel cans I can find, anything marked flammable, and canned food.

(The separate bags are to avoid a knife puncturing a can.)

The next part of my plan, would be to grab and lighters, matches, and anything capable of starting a fire.

The final part before departing would be to run across the street to my grandfathers house, and raid his garage for chainsaws and garden tools.

All of this would take no more than 10 minutes, and finally, given enough time, I would take my parents car to Fairview mall and meet up with Kada, and many close friends. We would use whatever time we had to set up traps, some survallience, and a safe area.

This plan has room for some variables however, some things would be left behind if there was not enough time, most likely the flammable items.

By now this has been either about 5 minutes or a little more, which would come out of my travel time, but that's okay, my Haven is only 10 minutes away.


Haven #1: Fairview mall. It's the biggest mall in my area, and has many supplies. Has a Wall-Mart, a food court, a Sears, and a small antique store which actually sells model swords. (By model it means they are modeled after something... Still sharp.)

Pit-Stop: Brothers house. My brother is a sword fanatic and actually has a large collection. He lives a bit out of the way, so this would cut things quite short. He has about 2 dozen swords, and a few battle axes and many other things. An Ideal ally.

Important things I'll have at this haven:

Pros:
-Food: There's a food court, and many popcorn stands. There's also many restaurants in the immediate area if one can venture out later through the outbreak.
-Other people: Very popular mall. Always full parking lot. Many people would be needed to guard all the entrances and set up rationing ares. Less able people can cook, or work behind the lines.
-Entertainment: 2 EB Games' and the antique shop has chess sets, and there are small things like LEGO throught the Wal-Mart and Sears'.
-Weapons: Sportco.. Many blunt items like hockey sticks and baseball bats, as well as baseballs.
-Everyone know of the Fairview plan. Kada, Elucid, Jeko, and many other close, and more importantly, reliable, friends would be there.

Cons:
-Other People: What will happen if someone gets infected and is afraid to mention it? What if someone goes mentally insane and starts causing problems? The idiot masses would not help my survival rate.

Haven #2
Imminent - Travel time limited to half an hour or less:

My Haven remains the same, and so do the items I take. The only difference now is my pit stop, as I don't have as much time.

Pitstop: Canadian Tire. Two minute drive. Many tools like Chainsaws, wrenches and other things for zombie wacking.

Haven #3
Danger! - Zombies are everwhere. Travel time limited to fifteen minutes.

Once again, my Haven stays, but this time I have no time for a pit stop. This would cripple some of my strategy, and also, there's a possibility of my Zombie Posse being different because of the fact that some people might not be able to make it to the mall. And one final blow to my plan, I would not have time to raid my grandfather's garage.

Pitstop: No time

Haven #4
Abandon all hope - Travel time is limited to running distance. Two minutes by car, if that.

This time, I would not have much to bring. No car, no double duffle bags. Because Of my final stop, I would grab my knife, My fishing wire, and a few cans of food. I would put a few other items I see on the way out into my spare backpack, which I keep under my bed.

Pitsto (And Final Stop): Canadian tire. It's very close, and would be easy to hold up. One side has entrances and one backdoor. No side windows.

Important things I'll have at this haven:

Pros:
-Food: Not as much food as at my other haven but there is food around, and it's on a very popular road ridden with fast food places. Food trips would be made.
-Few people: would not be considered by most, and isn't very popular. Most likely 10 people at most, and therefor less hidrences to me.
-A LOT of zombie killing weapons. Coulod solo here for a while if need be.

Cons:
-Few people: Very lonely, and no one I know would make, except for possibly Kada. Sanity would be an issue here.
-Food: Trips neccesary for food very soon. Combine that with few people, and we could lose our haven.
-Along a big street: Many small roads off of this street and in a very dense area of town. Zombies might be plentiful.



4) Okay, picked your haven? 'Kay. Let's assume it's one of the less bleak Zombie Imminence levels and you have time to summon friends and family. Be warned: You don't have time to save the weak, not anymore. Think up your own skills and those of your closest friends and family... who could really help you if you had to survive the end of days? What role/skills do they have? It's time to assemble... your zombie posse.

Hey Ikural what about me, The? and Flan. What if we were over one night having a smash fest or tourney. It could happen we are in the same crew. We could also help carry more things and would help fight if need be. We could happen to be very essential.

1) A flesh-feasting bugger stumbles into your room. What do you do?
Forget long-term planning. How do you escape your room when he blocks the door? Weapons? Diversion? Window? What's your escape?


i dono, throw weight plates at it? maybe try to bash its head in with an airsoft shotgun.
seeing as how my room is the attic and i only have a skylight...i would have to run down those ****ing stairs as quickly as possible.

2) Alright. So you've escaped your room and mentioned how. Five minutes to grab some items from your house. Take your pick!

i guess i would take my backpack, airsoft shotgun, at least 5 bottles of water, fresh socks :), some chef boyardee, cell phone and a few knives.

3) Okay, your five minutes are up and you have to get out. Time to find a safe haven.

Haven #1
Caution - Just enough zombies everywhere to put any longterm plans to rest, but enough to travel at least half an hour.

uhhh, i would probably run to the mall about 20 mins away. probably go to the english trading co. and stock up on some broadswords. then i would chill in the gamestop and play gh3.

Haven #1: mall
Pit-Stop: nowhere...

Important things I'll have at this haven:

Pros: swords, video games, people, food, water, clothes, just about everything.

Cons: i guess infected people

Haven #2
Imminent - Travel time limited to half an hour or less:

still the mall.

Pitstop #2: nowhere...

Haven #3
Danger! - Zombies are everwhere. Travel time limited to fifteen minutes.

steal the car and drive to teh mall :).

Haven #4
Abandon all hope - Travel time is limited to running distance. Two minutes by car, if that.

stay in my room and barricade the stairs and doors...

Me- sharpshooter, melee
ok, not really a sharpshooter but you never know how much time a few airsoft pellets may spare you. ive studied lightsaber combat forms, but never used an actual heavy sword. i have ****ing huge pecs for an asian guy. studied karate for 5 years.
Melee: Bo, knives
Ranged: airsoft shotgun, weight plates?

Friend 1- melee
2nd degree taekwondo ftw. some experience with bo. very strong.
Melee: bo, knifefighting

Friend 2- melee
halo 3 much? owns a few swords. agile, volleyball player.
Melee: double katana, other swords.

Friend 3- strategist
weak as ****. cowers in corners but good for the intelligence factor.
Melee: poking zombies with pencils...

Friend 4- strategist
also weak, but a little stronger. i guess he might throw rubiks cubes at zombies. pretends to know how to use a sword...
Melee: sword, but will fail

Friend 5- beast

Cajoled a few zombie plans out of people at a party, my favorites:



"I keep a crowbar under my bed for that reason. I'd smack it in the head, then run to that apartment place across the street, up to the second storey. Completely lock down the first storey no matter what, then systematically kill every zombie on the second, third, and fourth floors."

Some other guy with a counterpoint: "What good is an empty apartment building?"

"There's always a crazy redneck or two that will survive. And even if everybody dies, I have every apartment's worth of supplies."



The guy with the counterpoint: "I'd walk along the river and get as north as I can."

Previous person: "You'll never make it."

"Hitchhiking works."

"Even if you get there you can't possibly survive up North."

"If I make it to Alert..."

"You won't. Even then, after the military base is out of food you'd need a guide to survive."



Then it kept going into people arguing about how best to survive zombies. It was great.

Your plans are solid EE, but you're not likely to survive such an ordeal without my patented zombie inoculation. Follow me beyond this ominous looking door.

1) Well...i have a wooden katana in my room plus a model keyblade that could do some nice bashing (i would know...ive threatened my idiot neighbor friend a few thousand times...). I'd bash him up and probably jump out the window in my room. Or at least get on the roof of my house. Or, if no zombies are downstairs, im goin there!

2) Duffle bags are nice. I'd grab a couple of lighters, my mechanical pencils, quickly wrap up the knives (ive recently discovered we have a nice amount of kitchen knives), other sharp kitchen utensils, my car keys, the aluminum bat from my garage, and the tool box. Plus the gasoline tanks that are sitting in my garage. Tool box and gasoline tanks will chill in the trunk...just in case. And my money/credit card for emergencies. And random food that i can find.

3)
1- Caution - Hmmm...getting to the docks near my grandparents house (40 minutes away). Pick up some of grandpa's tools, some of the food they have, and hijack a boat. TO CANADA, AWAYYYY!

And if we're lazy, the mall near my house works. Quick to get to and lots of useful stuff.

2- Imminent - A mall a few cities away. Theres a bunch of stores (its like a freaking mazeeee). I could probably find a nice hiding place there.

3- Danger! - Suprisingly, my high school. I work on plays there and i know where all the tools are plus where all the secret areas are. its about...10 minutes away when i wanna be speedy. Plus...my school has archery in gym...

4- Abandon all hope - Well, there is a mall that i can see outside the current room im in. i live a minute car ride from it. It has a ***** sporting goods....with lots of hunting equipment. AND THE KNIFE STORE THAT SELLS KNIVES AND KATANAS.

And i know where the food is at all the places. ...yaay food x3

4) My sister (the slayer)
Shes violent. VERY violent. I cant believe shes a little teenage girl. -shudders-
Weapons: Fists, legs, field hockey stick, field hockey ball, aluminum bat, lacrosse stick, whatever else she can find. We'd probably try to protect her the most though, since shes the kid of the group.

Denzi (the driver/hunter/strategist)
I wouldnt leave Denzi behind! He's fast (runs XC), can drive, and is strong. I'd definatly need him on my team. And he has a dog named Toby. TOBY WILL WIN D:<
weapons: himself, whatever hes armed with

"The Colonel" (the general/strategist)
Weapons: ...i dont even want to ask. I never know what hes armed with. He makes model weapons...and owns other random weapons. Plus, he takes martial arts (Tai Shin Do). And hes hilarious. which we need.

Grace (The pyro/slayer)
My awesome friend of awesome.
weapons: fire, fire, more fire, knives, whatever the heck she can get (...usually fire though.)

Myself (pyromaniac/driver/strategist)
weapons: FIRE, whatever i can pick up, kitchen knives, wooden katana, aluminum bat, my car. And if i can find a bow and some arrows, i'll be set.

My neighbor (slayer/guard)
He was basically made for this job. we made zombie plans when we were younger for fun anyway. hes strong, so he'll make a good guard.
weapons: his fists, whatever weapons he can find, civil war era sword, random ninja star he bought (wtf?)

Manda, Megan, and Jose (slayers/strategists)
Good friends, will keep us saneeee
Weapons: their minds, motorcycles, whatever weapons they get ahold of

And whoever else wants to tag along...as long as they dont weigh us down

5) Well, if we're staying in one of the malls (id hope itd be the one close to my house...), we'd have a LOT of entertainment.
We'd practice our skills, of course, and we'd try to keep eachother sane.
