Zombie Apocalypse: What would YOU do?
Since we've been having a lot of more serious, and even heated discussions on topics that can inspire the flare of tempers, I wanted to introduce something new and maybe a bit more fun.
The prompt: The impossible has come true and fantasy has become reality. The dead seem to have risen, or maybe it's the living who are just shells of themselves. Whatever it is, it's an apocalypse, and these zombies are killing everyone in their path. You've heard it all over the news and over radio broadcasts, and for now, you're stuck in your room with your computer, windows and doors boarded up, and as far as you know you're safe. Safe enough to give your opinions and build on theories for what's going on, and what the best course of action would be.
First topic of debate: How did this happen? Is this God's punishment? Is it a virus? Is the government behind it? Make your best guess, or even an educated hypothesis on how and why this is happening, and debate the likelihood of each theory.
Second topic of debate: How will you survive? If you wind up with other survivors, how will you help provide food, water, and shelter for the group? Is it better to stay on the move, or to stay in one place? What kind of weapons are the best suited for battling the zombies when you have to?
Third topic of debate: Someone in your group has been bitten. Do you mercy kill them? Do you leave them behind to their fate? Do you try to find a cure? What if -you- have been bitten? Would you kill yourself, ask someone else to kill you, or face your own unfortunate fate in the hopes that someone might cure you someday?
Let's keep this fun and on topic. :} I'll give my own answers after a few other folks have weighed in.

Oh, heck yes. Major Left 4 Dead fan, here.<br /> <br /> First topic of debate: How did this happen? <br /> A scientific experiment gone wrong. A cure for an unknown illness had just arrived, and their first test subject died less than five minutes ago, they decided to shoot the cure into them but they ended up not cured and brought back to life. The test subject was hungry and bit the scientist, and it spread worldwide.<br /> Second topic of debate: How will you survive? <br /> To provide food, water, and medication you may want to find a nearby grocery store to stay for a while. It would be better to stay on the move to see if you can find more survivors and a better food source or place to stay. The best weapons would be M16 Assault Rifles, chainsaws, machetes, chrome shotguns, pistols, and AK-47's.<br /> Third topic of debate: Someone in your group has been bitten. <br /> Kill em'. No other choice unless you want to be bitten. If I were bitten, I would kill myself.<br /> <br /> Oh, and don't be surprised when I say I'm a girl :3

Second: Sort of like the thing I do in video games when I get bad teams. (Oh yes. COD fan here. Prepare to be trolled. Augh, no.) ^-^ Find a room with a door in a corner, but with enough room to be in the corner and be able to look out. Then just wait there until everyone else figures out what's happening and fixes it. Hopefully that won't take too long, I dont have any food. XD<br />

(Ah, I love topics on zombie apocalypses <3 )<br /> <br /> 1- Personally, I think [if this ever happened and I highly doubt it shall] one day a mad scientist will create a "cure for cancer"- hence the quotation marks. I think that from there, he or she will think the new cure//vaccine is a success and so they will apply it to cancer-stricken patients, but everything goes wrong, mutating the patients; in this case turning them into a flesh-craving human; a zombie. From there it will spread and eventually go on to pass through cities, then states, and so on. <br /> <br /> 2- First and foremost, I'd get a good supply of water that is light enough for me to carry a good, long distance but is enough to last me at least a couple of days if not less. That is the most important thing- to always have water before food. Food can wait a bit, but you'll die without water. I'd probably then hijack a car, preferably white -to reflect the sun and keep me cooler-; spacious -to gather survivors and equipment//supplies; good on gas-it's more reliable to have a car that can take you and others a good distance before breaking down/running out of gas. I'd heavily supply myself with melee weapons, and have at [least] ten rifles of choice with a good stock of ammo. I'd be sure to always try and use melee weapons first, even if they aren't weapons of choice, using them will give you a slightly better chance at survival. Zombies are attracted to sound and the scent of live humans, so always try to avoid coming in direct contact with one -unless in a dire situation and you've got no other choice-, and NEVER use a gun unless you absolutely must. They'll come running from all directions and then what? You're practically dead-especially if you run out of ammo. It's good to have multiple safety locations or "bases" for yourself and a group of survivors if you've got one. That way your resources are spread out and you've got a wider range of eyes and ears, especially if you've got radios and walkie-talkies, a must have. <br /> <br /> 3- Honestly, I would not prefer doing it but if someone in my group had been infected by being bitten, I would "put them out of their misery". It is not something I would have wanted to do, of course, but I would first have asked what that particular person would have wanted: to be killed by gun, or left to Turn. Personally I'd want someone to kill me, but I would have tried everything in my best power to stay alive, even if that means severing a limb or two. Double tap is essential to survival. Come on, you only [live] once, right?
I have thought as if I was in a real zombie situation. This would be what I'd do...<br /> 1# Okay,it is certinly that weirdo who lives down the street,he is always killing animals...maybe for a re-animation experament. O.o<br /> 2# I'd have a painc moment,probably cry and scream. I'd grab all the freinds,animals,and baby stuff (ducklings,tadpoles,all that jazz) and food and water,and take it to allans Pizzaria. It's a mini mart where I live. They keep a gun under the counter. I'd train all the animals to be a lean,mean Zombie killing force. The ducklings would quack them to death. 3# I'd lock any bitten in the allen's freezer! I'll freez 'um then thaw them out to train my attack force. ;) All in all,I'd make my attack force super huge,then attack the weirdo who started this all,thus leaving the zombi forces without command,and to implode,killing each other. I'd be left with my freinds and family,and a super strong gaurd attack force incase this ever happend again! <br /> Me- *Drops re animation junk on grave yard full of dead people* Opps...<br /> Zombies- *Rise from the dead* Brainz!!<br /> Me- *Runs around screaming.* Not again!!!

First topic of debate: How did this happen? <br /> <br /> How did this happen? Simple! My mad scientist cat has been planning to destroy the world! What better than to bring the dead back alive, and form an army of brain-sucking minions?<br /> <br /> <br /> Second topic of debate: How will you survive? <br /> <br /> To survive, I would stock up on chocolate, pickles, tomatoes, and other neccasary items when in craving, and move into my favorite Sushi Restaurant as I possibly can (along with everyone important to me. Most certainly not my cousin >:P), after making it as Zombie-Proof as I can. Since I am a family member of this mad genius, I would manipulate her to make her army attack the owner and manager of the restaurant, to ensure that the place would be under my command. With food water, and "beds" off the list, our group would have pole and bat weapons, so if some zombies came and tried to eat our brains, we'd smash their heads right off their shoulders, killing them instantly. for years, our group would grow, and the actual war would start. I would lead our own army to battle, and try to defeat the apocalypse. As a side note, I would be the one ot go after my cat, and a slightly Star Wars like moment would happen.<br /> <br /> Missy/mad genius kitty: (Insert Name Here) I am your kitty.<br /> <br /> Me: Nooooooooo!! *pushed off bridge X_X*<br /> <br /> <br /> Third topic of debate: Someone in your group has been bitten. Do you mercy kill them? Do you leave them behind to their fate? Do you try to find a cure? What if -you- have been bitten? Would you kill yourself, ask someone else to kill you, or face your own unfortunate fate in the hopes that someone might cure you someday? <br /> <br /> If someone in my group had been bitten, I'd throw them out with the other zombies. Sorry, I don't have the hear to kill you, so now you have to live with my cat's army >8C! If I had been bitten, there's no way I'm letting myself get killed! I'd go and join Missy's side, support the apocalypse, and eat some braiinnzz!
First topic of debate:<br /> How did this happen?<br /> Some weird government experiment went wrong. They were probably trying to create some new type of highly infectious disease and then it all went wrong. <br /> Is this God's punishment?<br /> If this is really happening, and I don’t wake up in my bed the next day to a normal situation, there is no God.<br /> Is it a virus?<br /> It’s possible. <br /> Is the government behind it? <br /> More than likely.<br /> <br /> Second topic of debate: <br /> How will you survive? <br /> I consume macaroni and cheese and water. I protect only my family and my pets. I stay hidden in a highly protected underground area and only come up to the surface in an emergency.<br /> If you wind up with other survivors, how will you help provide food, water, and shelter for the group? Is it better to stay on the move, or to stay in one place? <br /> I would only stay with my family and no one else. It’s better to stay in one place that you know is safe, easy to protect, and has all of the necessary equipment for survival.<br /> What kind of weapons are the best suited for battling the zombies when you have to?<br /> A gun, obviously since it’s a long-range weapon. (and for those of you who watched “Zombie Landâ€) Don’t forget to double tap!<br /> <br /> Third topic of debate: <br /> Someone in your group has been bitten. Do you mercy kill them? Do you leave them behind to their fate? Do you try to find a cure? <br /> I mercy kill them because the lesser the population of zombies is the better. And of course I try to find a cure… But I’d still mercy kill them; I can’t lug around a flesh-hungry zombie until I find a cure, that is, if I ever do find a cure.<br /> <br /> What if -you- have been bitten? Would you kill yourself, ask someone else to kill you, or face your own unfortunate fate in the hopes that someone might cure you someday?<br /> I would ask someone else to kill me because it seems like it’s the right thing to do… But I would make sure that I watch the zombie that bit me die because if I’m going down, the zombie is, too.

Oh yay! I've thought about this before, and I'm totally mentally prepared for the real thing! :p (not!)<br /> <br /> 1<br /> It's a disease. Maybe the government was doing tests and some of the "lab rats" got out and spread the disease<br /> <br /> 2<br /> Stay in one place to rest and gather supplies for a few days, then move before the zombies find you! Kill them with bullets, and don't forget to double-tap!<br /> <br /> 3<br /> We have to kill them. We can't let them stay in the group until they turn. Chances are they'll chase us down until someone else gets bitten, and before you know it, we'll all be zombies. If I was bitten, I'd tell someone else to kill me.
