Morals vs Ethics in Zombi-dom

    -So you're bitten. Some undead bastard in a lumber-jack shirt just took a chunk out of your arm. The group you are travelling with didn't see the **** go down. You bandage up the wound with a rudimentary dressing and catch up. Do you tell them you're bit, or do you act like nothings happened and carry on with them?

    Does anyone else have a zombie scenario that they'd like to share? I've f***in' loads.

    I'd try and make myself as useful as possible but make sure that the minute I turn I get shot in the head.

    What if a scientist might be able to create a cure, but needs to watch the infection from scratch to do so, and you are the best candidate for it? Would you sacrifice your life?

    You've only got so long before you start getting sick and your best friend/ lover uncovers it and is faced with the uncomfortable choice of ending you, thus taking the issue out of your hands.

    It's their fault for not stopping you from getting bit
    tear them limb from limb......

    tut tut.

    Come Z day, you must learn to rely on no one.

    Accept responsibility for your own Zombiality, if you get infected.

    What about mad scientists?

    I'd position myself next to the person how I thought would have tastiest brain. Then when the time came I'd go to town on them. In a post-Apocalyptic situation you're gonna be badly stuck for food. Take what you can get.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭MooseJam


    I think I'd tell them and make sure someone took care of me when I turned, wouldn't fancy spending too much time zombiefied


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,282 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    I like to think i'd be all brave and lure the zombies away from my party, using the last bullet in my gun to off-myself. Although, if i dont have a gun, i guess i'd try and kill myself some other way...maybe lure them into a building and burn it. I'd probably die from smoke inhalation before getting burned to death.

    Calm and peaceful either way

    I wouldnt tell them for fear of being shot on the spot, I'd keep in a secret but ensure that I helped out the group as much as possible, then I'd go have myself a last stand with the zombies...

    Ideally I'd have some sort of explosive or maybe an old fashioned tank of gas to blow them all back to hell when they overrun me :)

    +1

    Help out as much as i can then sneak away to take down as many zombies with me as possible before killing myself. I like your idea of the gas tank, reminds me at the end of the remake of Dawn of the Dead where CJ shoots the flare and then the gas tank, blowing up the van and all the zombies around it :cool:

    yeah ths how I would do.
    that or Run into a big mod weilding a chainsaw


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 65 ✭✭Ans Blix


    I'd kill the zombie, making a particularly big mess of it, say goodbye, let the one i love know the truth, then put a bullet into my temple (not nessesarily infront of her)

    What, like Tom Dunne?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭Martron


    i reckon the best thing to do would be tell noone. then when you turn kill everyone you are with because i am pretty sure they would not want to carry on life without me anyways

    Yeah, this forum's about survival, right? That means your own survival, be you human or zombie. And if you get turned, your former mates are going to be your best source of food for survival! :pac:

    Shame on you both. It is about survival of the human race.

    You need to make a heroic last stand!

    F***in' eh right its about survival. A grand heroic gesture would be all well and good but youre still killing yourself. Although scraping a living death dosn't sound too appealing, it's bad enough scraping a jaysis lving.

    Well, if I got bitten the best thing to do would be tell everyone goodbye, stock up on ammo, put 1 special bullet in your pocket for when the time comes, and go outside and take down as many of the fùckers as possible. Chance are as you progress to Zombism the undead will be less likely to attack you due to your rapidly detioriating health and appearance. Nobody likes gone-off meat, not even the undead.

    Then, when you don't have much life left in you load that special bullet into your gun, turn it around and *BANG*, one less zombie for the survivors to deal with.

    The only answer.

    in all fairness what good is that. not only did you waste a load of ammo (because as you said your declining health you could hardly aim a gun properly)

    then in your **** state of affairs you manage to pull a bullet from your pocket and load it into the gun. again i think the clawing zombies would prevent that.

    and then what happens to the gun. you are dead you will have no need for it. but the other survivors can just look out the window at it surrounded by limpers!!!

    and then you would have to pray that a zombie did not take it off you in the first place and knows how to use it. then you just created a bigger problem.

    i figure if you are well enough to fire a gun you are well enough to stay with your mates. and as your survival is limited its up to your mates to look after their survival when you turn. so i reckon take your chances inside and let your mates deal with you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0


    Well tbh, if I stocked up on ammo for a glorious last stand, i'm not gonna give a **** if the rest are missing a gun ! I'd be dead !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭Martron


    well maybe you could tie a string on to it and somone can pull it from your dead hands.
