First you have to tell us what type of zombies these are.
Living dead or virus? Shambling or running? Can they use tools and/or communicate? 7/23/2010 2:19:48 PM |

Living dead. Assume it isn't too airborne to be contagious by breathing near them, but you don't want their spit or other fluids. They can sustain mortal injuries for a prolonged period of time. Death by eventual loss of fuel for the body to move in roughly 6 months time (the typical zombies outlined in the Zombie Survival Handguide).
Jogging zombies. They are American after all. No tool use and communication is limited to simple howling, which attracts other zombies in the area.
Assuming there it was moderately plausible, I would go for 2, attempting to create a sustainable colony or otherwise small establishment. Government quarantines and safe houses have shown to be hotbeds for despicable criminal activity during absolute catastrophes (Katrina) and a life outside of the city quarantine may be more bearable.7/23/2010 2:39:56 PM |

4. Left 4 Dead 7/23/2010 3:10:15 PM |
ThePeter TWW CHAMPION 37709 Posts user info edit post |
Well Left 4 Dead was a play on getting the survivors into situation 1. They had camped out until they either got cabin sickness and needed to leave or they heard about possible survivor extractions, both evidence that they were going to organized colonies. Plus all of the movies (or w/e) ended in them being rescued by military vehicles or helicopters.
I would be curious to see the extent of people that would go option 3, pillaging and looting other colonies. Such a nomadic lifestyle would not be easily sustainable, being that you need fuel for your vehicles (no fixed gears in a post-apocalyptic world) and you would have to prey upon bands of survivors a few times a week. I would think you'd have to stick near civilization, but that means you're closer to the zombies.
I could see a possible nomadic marauder transferring into an option 2 situation, where they scavenge and steal until they have supplies to make their own colony. That would, however, be them stealing from existing colonies. Hmm 7/23/2010 3:31:24 PM |

i need more information
are the zombies stronger or weaker than their living counterparts? faster or slower? smarter or dumber? do they have the ability to use all of their senses or perhaps even extrasensory abilities? how does one become a zombie and how long does it take? bodily fluids or viral? do they require food (other than flesh)? can they swim?

Depending on the situation, options 2 and 3 sound good to me.
2. Join a group of civilian survivors and establish a new colony 3. Go rogue, pillaging the landside alone or with a group of marauders 7/23/2010 7:01:53 PM |

If the base becomes zombified, the last thing you want are zombies with guns. Then again, if you hijack a tank, you should be good to go, until you meet that one fucker who is there to one up you with his rocket launcher 7/23/2010 7:53:02 PM |
Wraith All American 27246 Posts user info edit post |
^Unless he is trained in how to drive a tank, that wouldn't be too practical. That and tanks would run out of fuel pretty quickly in the long run. I guess you could horde fuel inside the tank but then you gotta get the tank somewhere quickly and quietly to fill it back up again and tanks aren't exactly quiet.
And also, like you said, if you are in an environment where you have access to a tank, you know some ass will be running around blowing shit up with rocket launchers and land mines. 7/23/2010 8:20:58 PM |

Can we please direct this conversation to the zombie invasion thread? 7/23/2010 8:48:02 PM |
shmorri2 All American 10003 Posts user info edit post |
I vote for the mountains. Lower population means less chance of coming across a zombified being. Also, there's more natural cover and undisturbed resources. I hear a lot of hunting goes on in the mountains though, so then there's the issue of whether or not deer and bear are plentiful there. I imagine if you could find a decent plot of land, you could start growing vegetables and just fortify your location, making random day trips to nearby cities for medical and ammo supplies. This is my plan at least. 7/23/2010 8:53:25 PM |

I definitely know of that thread, I've posted in it quite a few times in my day. I was making a parody thread, but also hoping to get discussion on the scenario outlined above. A lot of the "Raleigh Zombies" thread is focused on individual and group survival tactics immediately after the outbreak, and from what I remember not so much on the long term survival. There are a few long tangents about thoughts on where to go (based mostly on camping out for sustainability), but not so much government vs colony vs marauder.
