Poll: Zombie Apocalypse or Nah

[notricksanchez69]

We all know there is no such thing as fast zombies. However, many of us have made IRL preperations of some kind for the inevitable (slow-zombie only) Zom-pocalyspe. You know who you are. So here's the scenario, normal spring day in Atlanta, partly cloudy, your bank account is low but your stockpiles are moderate, and your hard-drive is full thanks to your new P5 status. You're strolling past the CDC and think, yep, that's where it'll start. (Too many years of that other Rick) When, KLAK! A heavy door leading outside to the dumpster slams open againts the ally wall and out stumbles what you instinctively know is, the first one...

The first one? Like the very first zombie? Option 5: I find a big stick and queue up the DOOM music on Spotify

Same, I think I'd try to bash its head open with a stick or a pipe. That or get a cop to do it for me

Kind of a cheat answer, but since i have my conceal permit, just cap it, check for others, then call it a day and go back to usual routine with a new story for bar night

Perfectly good answer, pollster is a noob. Fixed it.

Walking speed, its just the one, and I know its infact not a homeless dude with some disease? I'm getting in my car and driving away, no way am I getting taken in for murder, my claim of zombie isn't going to cut it if I kill the only one.
If zombies are known I'll throw rocks at its head, hopefully knock it out, than run it over with my car. park on top of it, than bash its head in with a large rock or other heavy object after finding something to shield my face from the infected blood splatter. I ain't taking risks with this.

I like your style. Just let it happen...Naturally...

 

[Genowefa]

just walk away. Nothing to see. Move along.

All that potential, wasted. Enjoy your P5... (jk, thanks for playin)

 

[Grimtown]

...and wait for all of this to blow over?

 

[mikeross]

None of my business. Let the more responsible people deal with that. I have played enough Resident Evils.

Yes, avoid personal responsibility and let the world burn... I especially love your brand of evil... Delightful

Call me Feng Min the way I'll be looping that Zombie (recording it all) until the CDC realizes their fuck-up, then demand some monetary compensation for preventing their whole foundation from becoming public enemy #1, and if they don't give me my hard-earned money, the video goes online. If somehow I start to get tired I'll just walk to the nearest shop, tell them to call the police and lead the Zombie to somewhere where people won't be, probably an alley, where I'll be killing it through the ancient technique of throwing trash at it until something sticks. Or I cave its head in WWE style with a borrowed chair from a shop.

Points for creativity. Mildly evil.

Well I think we can call this one. You lowlifes are just gonna let it happen, and I love you for it. But what did we learn here today.
Well 12 of you/us would rather let it burn, or at least burn long enough for us to emerge as the Governor and make everything right in the world.
8 of you would end it before it happens without the slightest concern for the rest of our fantasies
3 of you really want P5, whatever that is, pffft
2 of you are funny, or secretly want to be the LI in a BlondieBear game
and no one is calling the po-po, good job LC, stay thirsty my friends

 

[YesPlease]

I've been having a rough go of it in life for awhile, currently unemployed again, was playing the last of us part 2 and thought about this. Yes I wish a zombie apocalypse would happen, because no matter what happens, my death or survival, life would be easier.

See, heres the thing. If I *know* it's the first one, my answer isnt listed. If it's the absolute start, that's a golden opportunity. We're bagging and tagging that fucker and profiting. Take it to a small backwater area and do a few tests to see how it spreads. Does it have to bite/kill to turn or can I milk it and forcibly turn people? If I can use its blood or saliva or something to poison peoples food any and all enemies I have are fucked harder than a newbie lurker thread member by Conzi. If it has to do the deed itself I'm taking advantage of the small area to let it spread and capture doezens. Relocate them strategically to use against my enemies and make sure I can cleanup the aftermath. Once people realize I can literally zombify them and are good and scared, negotiations begin. Build a thriving undercity full of loyal followers who help with taking out targets and cleanup.

Succsessfully building an LC safehaven, protected by zombie nukes = profit.

That sounds like a plan - well thought out though dependent on them being the "slo" variety. I would add that maybe your LC safe zone should be on an Island or perhaps small town completely walled off by shipping containers double wide and double high. In addition I would add a bent or indirect entrance as a defensive feature in medieval fortification. With a bent entrance, the gate passage is narrow and turns sharply. Its purpose is to slow down attackers attempting to rush the gate and impede the use of battering rams against doors. It is often combined with means for an active defence, such as machicolations, in effect confining intruders to a narrow killing zone. Its defensive function is related to that of a barbican in front of the gate. but I really have not given it a lot of thought
