are these zombies attractive? Or do they look like in movies?
A zombie virus that also makes everyone extremely attractive, intelligent, eloquent, hard working, and smell like cotton candy? It's a terrific new world.

I'm not sure we want to raise such a grave subject in this kind of thread. I'd hate to kill the mood...

I wouldn't mind, honestly, but things would get awkward when you try to kiss them and they try to eat your brains.

I don't know what my plan is. If there's ever a zombie apocalypse I wouldn't want to hide, it seems so much more fun to roam around and kill things.
My crew would include Skreeran cause he's good at shooting things, Lombax because he's good at stabbing things, Vikey cause he's completely insane and possibly a ninja because of reasons.
Rude. :( I would've invited you to my castle.

But I can't have you in my zombie killing crew, you'd trip on something and get us all killed. You can stay back at the castle and cook!
I'd give you all food poisoning but okay. :D I could be like the trophy wife.

I'm actually well prepared for the (unlikely) case of a zombie apocalypse.
1: I live on an apartment on a second floor, mine is right at the end of a hallway, which is right in front of the only stairs to access the place. In the case of a zombie apocalypse, I can booby-trap the hallway to create a deathzone, impassable for the zombies. Seal off the main door to my house, and use the rooftop access to exit and enter.
2: My building is within walking distance of the factory sector, that means tons of food supply, specially since I know of at least 5 factories of canned food that are within walking distance.
3: While I don't own firearms, I do own a couple of good weapons. Starting with a baseball bat and barbed wire, which when mixed together form a nice shredding weapon. Then there's the fact that I know how to make bombs from common house-hold materials (don't ask
¬_¬
) and not just explosive ones, also incendiary ones as well.
4: My crew? asides from my immediate family (Wife & Kids) I'd say my brother (we make an unstoppable team, me being the brains and he being the brawn) and my two best friends. The good thing about the buildings in "El Pinar" is that their structural design makes them good for improvised fortresses, assuming all my neighbors turn into the undead as well, I'd have to dispose of them, which would be the hardest part of surviving the apocalypse. If I can manage to live past that, then turning the rest of the building into a self-contained impregnable fortress would be easy and would take at most 6 days assuming me, my brother, wife and 2 best friends all pitch in to seal off all entry points.
5: Plan of survival? bunker up inside the apartment. Only going out to gather food, we wouldn't bother with guns, as none of us has any experience with firearms, our accuracy sucks, and thus we'd be unable to hit the broadside of a barn, much less a zombie head (Hitting a human being anywhere but the center of mass (Torso) is ABSURDLY HARD even if they are standing still, much less if they are actually moving.)
If push comes to shove, we'd use our car (asuming its still intact) to drive to the Lake of Maracaibo (If my car is not available, I know how to hard-wire a few old model cars................ again don't ask
¬_¬
). I know a boat-rental agency, and I'd be able to grab one, and simply sail from island to island. There's a full archipelago of islands to the north of venezuela, including Los Roques, a collection of hundreds of islands, were we could live on the move to avoid detection from the zombies.
Rules of survival? Never going alone EVER. Strength in numbers, engage from distance whenever possible (bombs make a nice scatter weapon for crowd dispersal), only eat canned food (less risk of eating contaminated food) and of course, stock up on as much bottled water as we can.
if there was one place I'd raid for supplies it would be a pharmacy, its amazing how much people underestimate the danger of a simple infection, and having anti-biotics and antiseptics in hand can be the difference between life and death.
If there was a place I'd raid for weapons it wouldn't be a gun shop, but a hardware store. A chainsaw, a hand-held lawn-mower, and nail-guns (with the adequate modifications) can be lethal when handled correctly.
We'd move by day to spot danger more easily, and avoid cars whenever possible, my brother is training to be a pilot, so if we get a helicopter, we're set (except for the fuel =/ so I'd guess we'd only use it as a last resort option)

So we just roam the world killing zombies?
Awesome sauce.

I agree with Tionjewlnique, actually. As much fun as the zombie survival scenario is, I don't think it'd get that far. There are many horrible diseases out there, that are airborne, or exist on surfaces for significant periods of time, and don't have nearly the spread. Most diseases that are spread by bites come from insects, because they're hard to see coming and stop before they get to you. The closest disease I can think of to this is maybe rabies, and that's very rarely contracted by humans. For a disease that can only be spread through the bite of a much weaker creature than the average human, and with a short enough incubation period that it probably wouldn't cross oceans, I don't see this becoming a global epidemic. With mass media, everyone with a computer would know how to kill them within a couple of hours. Too many people are too well armed to not be able to deal with small outbreaks. And since it's pretty easy to tell who's infected, because it requires a bite and the incubation period is pretty short, I don't see quarantining people to be too hard to do humanely and with as little loss of non-infected life as possible. In the movies, the threat is always the shambling horde, and not each individual zombie. If it never got that far, I think we'd be ok as a species.
The most realistic scenarios, IMO, are:
1) Shaun of the Dead/Original Night of the Living Dead: In some places, when people don't know what's going on, if they are isolated or completely unarmed, you'd have small pockets of zombie infestations. But within a day or two, vigilantes, militia and military would contain the problem.
2) The disease is airborne, and many healthy people are coming down with it without being bitten. The survivors are a group of people with a natural immunity- at least to the airborne strain- which would then create the numbers needed on both sides for a normal zombie movie to play out.
3) Zombies are much more indestructible than in most movies, and a bullet in the brain does nothing. In some movies where it's magic based zombies, and in Return of the Living Dead (at least some of them), you just can't kill them. Bullet to the head does nothing, cut off limbs and the limbs keep coming, etc.. They just keep coming. And then when they were burned, the ashes infected people who breathed them in, and soaked into the ground to infect corpses. THAT would be an aggressive enough strain that there might be a real epidemic. (In this movie, though, they were also still semi-intelligent, and could speak, set traps, convince their loved ones to let them in, etc.- without that, they might have had less success eating everyone)

#83- What's a good cake flavor combination?
You know...if I was hypothetically planning for like a wedding cake or something...

Raspberry. Like, nothing else. Just raspberries. In fact, scratch the cake and eat raspberries instead.
