    Sure, at least we'll have coconuts to throw if it's a Dead Island kind of apocalypse.

    well depending one what kind of zombies they are, that decides what plan I do.

    the short versions.

    if dawn of the dead style, I will need a fortress. Wal mart would work nice.

    if shaun of the dead style, I will grab a few bats and just crack some skulls.

    if L4D style. I plan on hiding. I'll just sit in a hole and cry.

    There is one thing you should know about Zombies, Sparky, and that is that they never tire. You can run, but eventually they'll get you.

    So either be food, hide, or Drag them Back to Hell. Hiding and surviving is actually a lot easier than both of those, provided you're smart and cover your tracks.


    Me? I'd stay away from civilization, stay in the woods, make traps, never trust anyone, and most importantly... survive.

    You mean "Dawn of the dead remake" style. The zombies in the original 1978 Dawn of the dead are just like the ones in Shaun of the dead.

    As for me, I'd either try to find a group of survivors who hopefully won't shoot me, or I'd just sit in a hole and cry like Echoax but regardless of what kind of zombies. Why? Because think about this: For all the amount of guns and food you can get, your going to run out eventually since civilzation has collapsed. When that happens, if the zombies don't kill you, starvation or suicide will. And if you die from something that doesn't remove the head or destroy the brain, your still gonna end up as a zombie even if you don't get bit {This has happend in George A Romero's original zombie films, and it's a classic rule of the genre}.

    And that's why the whole world would be screwed if zombies were real.

    On contra my friend, zombies are in fact one of the most venerable and impossible of apocalypses.

    Reason 1: Zombies are dead, so therefore have no why to combat decomposition. Any zombie would fall to pieces in a couple weeks tops.
    Reason 2: Zombies spread by bitting their victim, aka, not one of the most effective way to spread ones self
    Reason 3: Zombies are forced to go against their top predator every time they want a meal or reproduce. In essence, that is comparable to having to go toe to toe with a lion every time you wanted a sandwich or sexytimes.
    Reason 4: The world has a little something called massive military force, aka, any zombie horde would likely be blown apart by the country it happens to be in
    Reason 5: Nukes, if a zombie outbreak occurred in a city, said city would likely be quaritined and wiped off the face of the earth

    Those are just a few. Anyways, continue with your survival plans.

    And if you nuke a city, any bodys of the living that wern't incinerated {You got the humans who don't get incenerated but instead die from radiation poisening} are going to turn, and then we get Nucular zombies. Also, if you've watched Land of the living dead {And to a much smaller extent for a certain scene, the original Dawn of the dead}, you'll know that it's possible for zombies to get smarter as time goes on. And if Left 4 Dead, the original Day of the dead and Land of the living dead are any indication, the military is either going to eventually be completly helpless or also a threat to survivors {Sometimes even a mix of both options}.

    Again, you also forgot about the fact that anyone who dies from something other then anything that removes the head or destroys the brian will turn into zombies. This includes anyone who died recently and didn't rot into a skeleton yet.

    The amount of facepalms this requires is unreal. Reread what you just said, MOVIE! GAME!
    HEre's a summary of what a real zombie invasion would look like: WE HAVE NO FLIPPIN CLUE!
    Sorry if I sounded rude at all.

    Also, did you forget about Nagasaki and Hiroshima? No zombies were ever made in the bombing of those two cities.

    No, but their were dead bodys that didn't get incenerated, and horribly scarred survivors too. I've even seen photos of them. Not particularly pleasent to look at.

    Also, think about this: When I say that anyone who dies from something other then a headshot {Or headstab} or head removel becomes a zombie, this includes anyone who died recently. Say for instance any murder victims killed by criminals {And I mean the ones that didn't die from a bullet or knife to the head, or decapitation} whose bodys wern't found yet, or almost any dead bodys at a hospital. Their going to turn into zombies and get up. And their's also the chance of the zombie invasion being started by a virus, which means that people can get sick and then turn into zombies. And sometimes, all it takes for a group or even an army to get overrun is just one or two people who got bit but manage to hide their infections, or even people who go crazy from the trauma and let the zombies in their fortress/hideout........

    And another thing. If your going to talk about zombies in real life, think about the guy who came up with the flesh eating zombies we're all familer with to this day: George A. Romero. He invented the original rules for the genre and how the zombies behave and get up {Albit leaving how they came to life ambigious enough for the viewer to decide}. We wouldn't even be having this thread if it wern't for him. I'm mostly going off of how things went on in his films, and to be honest, most of it seems like how I picture a zombie invasion to go.

    But what if your 3 friends/partners end up saving your life? Or would they just sit there and laugh while you die? Come to think of it, I'm not really helping this situation much, am I? :p

    there is no karma hunter only karma charger. He will find you if you do wrong, he will make you pay.

    IRL I'd never like to meet him.

    Quite so. And if they were, somehow, to come into existence, it wouldn't matter that much. Just hide out for a few days. Weathering will wear down zombies. The sun will dry them out, the rain will rot them - they'd be pretty useless in a few days.

    Of course, if they're magical zombies . . .
