In the unlikely event of a zombie apocalypse, how would you do? On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being dying in the first few minutes, 10 being dying of old age while taking a couple hundred (or possibly thousands) zeds with you. This is assuming that the outbreak first occurs in cities (major labs and corporations are there), and that the zombies are killable by normal means, this following the most likely scenario.
8.5
I say 8.5 because I do have an above-average chance of surviving, although it's not quite a 9. I live on a farm far away from major metropolitan areas, so it would take a while for the zeds to get anywhere near me, and there is a lot of open land surrounding me, so we'd be able to see them coming. We also own a large spring-fed freshwater pond/lake, so we'd never have to worry about water. Weapons are also not an issue.

I have killer evil koalas... which would easily get zombified...
I'd say I have a low chance of survival, say 2-3/10, as we don't have many guns in Australia, and because you can never keep a good zombie down.

5 or 6/10 while I'm at college
My room's 3 stories off the ground, with only one door leading in, which has another door beyond that. Both have pretty heavy locks even without being barricaded, which I could do with a chair and various other heavy things. I don't have any real weapons besides a pair of scissors, so the best I could do would be to barricade myself in. I'd last at most a few days, and that's only if the door remained barricaded.

4/10 I have weapons at home, but recently had a conservatory with large windows put in.

I'd probally do pretty well. I have a Gun, and I could get to the top of my house if needed. And i'm in Scotland, in a kind of Town. Although i'd more than likely assemble "Da Posse" and get drunk, because I rule.
7/10

7? maybe 8?
I live far outta town, and conveiniantly, have a huge stockpile of food. I also have more weapons than I should possibly have...and even when they're exhausted, i have a garage full of zombie smashing tools. I would most likely eventually die due to sheer laziness, not closing the door for example.

I'd say a 4-5/10. I do have a bit better knowledge than most on zombies, and I live in a 2 story house in a gated community of about 12 houses. I also live in sort of the outskirts of town, so unless the zombie is from out of town, it'll take a while for it to get here.

10 Let me explain why though. Ever since I was little I have been getting ready for it. Be and the rest of my buddies have named ourselves the Regulators and have a plan on what to do. I own a 1994 Ford F350 four wheel drive. I go pick them all up and we heat to Varters country first. The origional is very near my ranch and not many people know it is there. After cleaning out the place we head to my ranch. I have a 42 foot gooseneck trailer to carrie all the firearms on. There is a Walmart, HEB, Randalls and many other little stores in the little town to get food from. Melee weapons are no problem. I have chainsaws down to axes macheties and hatchets. Even in the back of my truck at any given time I have seven or eight deadly objects. All of my friends are crack shots and most have at least a little military traning. We are up to living a long fruitful life of killing zombies and making babies with our significant others. The house its self is zombie proof. Built in the 1800's it was made to last the windows are to small for any zombie to get through and the door...well I doubt anyone could knock it down and the hinges are made out if 1/4 inch railroad car grade steel. Oh there is also Union Tankcar with in a mile where I can get enough metal to make any kind of defence needed. I am also good at welding so we are good there.
Did I leave anything out?

Do you own a tenchcoat? I don't know for sure, but many UD players seem to think a trenchcoat helps in a zombie apocalypse.

No I do not own a trench coat and anyone seen with one on will be shot for general stupidity. I do however have a cowboy hat but that comes from actualy being a cowboy.

Cowboy hats are good, real fighters wore cowboy hats. John Wayne, Chuck Norris, I think somebody in Highlander wore one.
Now who does the trecncoat community have representing them?

Neo, and that guy in my Web Programming class. Neither can be considered 'fighters' in the classic sense. Actually, it's a bit of a stretch, but you could go with Jake Busey from Hitcher 2. Of course, he was evil.

Hitcher, hitcher....was that the one were the woman gets tied between 2 tractors? and the guy busts out of a prison transport and kills everybody onboard?

Post by Ty on Oct 16, 2006 17:12:01 GMT
I think that was the first one. The second one is a crappy excuse for a sequel, but Jake Busey's performance in it almost makes it worth watching. He's got that whole bad-ass maniacal villain thing going on.

I like the bad ass villian, villians in most horror movies suck, too many superpowers.
Hannibal Lector, there was a villain, he could break you down just by talking to you, then beat you sensless with his bare hands

Just make sure that the trenchcoat is leather. Have you ever tried biting through lever? It's hard. And trenchcoat people have Snake Plissken from Escape from L.A./New York.

Just so we're not going too far off-topic, I'll do my rating again, but this time at home.
7
My house is in a pretty small town, not too many people around. It's also at the top of a hill so I can see them coming in advance. On top of that, my house contains my dad's gun, as well as a garage full of sharp things in case the zombies get too close. I lose 2 points for the lack of extra ammunition and supplies, and one for the huge window in the living room that can be easily broken through.

okay, move mine up to five, a construction crew has dug up the road, when they get killed, I can take their tools and truck. Bit mean I know, but they should'a been prepared.
