Why do I keep having these zombie attack/survival dreams?

How about a large ship? Outfit so that you can grow food, recycle/purify water. If zombies can't swim, you're home free. If they can only walk along the bottom, take your ship to deep water. If they can actually swim, they'll have a hard time climbing up the side of a large ship like a converted oil tanker or freighter. There, now all you have to do is save up the cash to buy a large ship and convert it so you can grow food on board. Better start taking some navigation classes and move closer to the coast so you can survive when the zombies rise from the dead.

Youd be overrun when you tried to stop for gas.

And ships don't last forever.

Eh.. ships pretty much do last forever. An aircraft carrier or super tanker? They'll last for at least a hundred years.

If you use a nuclear aircraft carrier, make sure the reactor doesn't leak, otherwise you'll have a mutant problem on top of your zombie problem.

great googly moogly mutant zombies!

I did like the ending for Shaun of the dead and the solution to the zombie problem.

The point is, few places have 4 million+ rounds of ammunition. The logistics of shooting everyone in a city just don't add up. Guns wear out, and sh!t happens. Now a tank, a tank would be a great thing to have in the zombie scenario. You could roll over hundreds of them while remaining untouched. That would be a great way to escape the city.

But a tank would be hard to take without keys. And it would also be impossible to use nuclear weapons due to the safety measures involved, and all the people with the keys and codes being zombies.

I have quite a few rounds of ammo in my gun case... thousands. Heck, even KMart and WalMart probably have several hundred thousand rounds of ammo. For example, I haven't needed to purchase 22 ammo in years.. last time I bought some, I picked up several thousand rounds, since it's only about 2 cents per round. When hunting season arrives, they sell pallets full of ammo at the local stores.

I have 10,000 rounds of .223 and 3,000 rounds of 9mm in my closet. That's still not enough to kill all the zombies in my suburb. Forget about the whole of Dallas. Simply put, guns aren't an effective tool for mass murder.

You guys have put way too much thought into surviving a zombie attack.

Well, I guess I know who'll be one of the first to go.

I think the only way to be sure of surviving is to purchase your own totally isolated island in the middle of the pacific with enough fertile land to grow enough food to feed whoever you want on the island with you.

I've accepted the fact that if the dead ever came to life and started eating people, I'd be totally fvcked I live in the middle of the most densely populated area of the country. I think I'd be physically safe if I was at work when it happened, since we have super strong doors with biometric locks, but I'd run out of food in a week. heh.

You could always cannibalize your coworkers to stay alive. The irony would be more delicious than their flesh.

The critical flaw in zombies is that they can't reproduce. There's a limit on them. I've long figured out how to destroy the entire human population; it's quite a simple matter. Our ICBM's and launch apparatus were built in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Most of us on the forums here know enough about electronics to commandeer an entire launch facility if we were unopposed by defenders.

Well, there's no limit on their prey, that's how they reproduce.

There IS a limit on their prey. There is a limited quantity of human beings available for consumption. If only TWO of those (one male, one female) survive and manage to commandeer a single American missile launch facility: Game over; humans win.

i have them all the time.
seriously, just try and stay out of P&N more...it seems to help me.

They wouldn't have enough of a gene pool to create a viable population, and you're vastly overestimating the power of nuclear weapons. You could take out all the cities, but the rural areas would be untouched. Meanwhile, the resultant climate change and large scale radioactivity will be bad for the human population, but leave the zombies largely unharmed.

on new meds lately?

I'm taking some slight liberties with the structure of the world's nuclear defense network; if one fires, they all fire on an automated (or staff-assisted) basis. I know if I happened to be sitting in a launch silo and news of a zombie invasion started coming in, I'd seal the damned doors and start working on ending it all. The chances of any human survivors is virtually null, along with the chances of any zombie survivors, but can't say we didn't TRY to survive. Unless cockroaches can be zombies, too. Then we'd be toast.

I'd call that more than a "slight" liberty. The systems still require human intervention to launch or retaliate.

No reason to go nuclear anyway. Zombies can easily be taken care of with conventional weapons. No reason to limit ourselves to only guns, Grenades, mortors, landmines, claymores, artillery, etc would all be of use since the zombies tend to cluster in groups when attacking.

Very true. I'm channeling visions of "28 Days Later" at the moment.

I had another one last night.

 

[myusername]

Well shit, dude. It's your muse .. write them down in detail and then expand them to novel or script form.

Are they in 3rd person? or 1st person Doom style? I've had some weird FPS type dreams.

I've had weird dreams where I was fighting all turnbased active RPG sytle. :Q

 

[JoeKing]

All of my dreams are like this

OP, go to sleep with a loaded shotgun and see what happens

[Freejack2]

I have horrible dreams that all the cows turn into zombies and then burn down all the burger joints in the world.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO BESSIE DON'T BURN DOWN THE BURGER KING!

 

[RandomFool]

the zombies weren't wearing loafers were they?

 

[Joemonkey]

me and a buddy came up with a few plans depending on time of day when the zombies hit and where we are (work, home, restaurant)

trust me, it's completely sane to come up with plans for when the zombies come
