Scenario

Mahatma coat

Right, So its Zday +150

you have been surving in your hideout, thr remaining group is tight after having slaughtered its way there, ye are out on a scavenging mission

you hear voices from the other side of a wall, they sound human, but you hav'nt lived this long by just blurtin out your position

so you climb up and discover that the voices are coming from Z's

these Z's are different, they look well fed, they are moving dexterously and more than that they are comunicating with each other and demonsterating a capacity for complex thought. and reasoning just as if they were humans but now they have imortality.

as you listen covertly you discover that most of these guys got smart, strong and imortal after consuming the brains of between 20 and 30 breathers.

you realise there are about 30 people in a confined area back at your base.

does it change your mind about becoming a Z??

Evolute

Hell no you start mashing them mofos or start shooting.
Would you want to be a disfigured mess forever?

Mahatma coat

well I taid they were dexterous, so not disfigured

and yeah, the forever bit has some appeal

Kill em, a Z is a Z no matter what.

It would be interesting though if one would be able to capture a "smart Z" and if ye had a doctor, surgeon, psychologist; back at the base to examine it.

Agent J

Well there is an assumption that you can kill and eat 30 people before they can react.

And these are 30 battle hardended people who have survived 150 days of Z warfare.

However moving past that.

Kill and eat 30 people to be immortal?
No thanks.

Although if that was the case that the Zs got smart.. Do they still hunger for flesh?

If they do and are organised and immortal. Well we're boned.

Nice

I like the idea of the Z's being smart, just makes smashign the brains in more fun.

If they can talk they can scream, personally i would mash as many as i could before leading the smart Z's to our hideout where my 29 other boards buddies would be ready and waiting (walkie talkie radio ahead). One by one we'd kill them and listening to their screams would be music to our ears.

I would make sure 28 are killed leaving 2 for the Z science lab. I would like to get a closer look at their brains and internal organs to find out what kind of mutation let them become so smart or at least start to become smart.

Finally I would torture them by dismembering them piece by piece purely for the craic factor. Since they are immortal they'll survive and feel everything right down to their final moment.

I'd put the whole ordeal up on youtube of course

geeky

Indeed. I'd report back to base and consider passing out the kool-aid.

Oh snap, I never even noticed what he was implying.
Anyway, as with all nightmare scenarios my response is this, if a frog had wings he wouldn't hit his ass when he hopped.

OP I like the way your thinking. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

Interesting, the rules would automatically change, we would be fighting a different enemy, we would need to adjust our stance and tactics. Not for one moment would i consider turning my coat.

The war would change, we know fight humans, that are smart but could also feel empathy, they would react differently in battle. We would need to capture some and torture run tests on them. Can they be controlled to fight in our army or will they forever be bad? we could feed them looters and raiders if they decide to fight on the side of all things human. Then of course we would kill them.

Jesus, Micky...

Anyway my stance is kill kill kill. Making alliances with something that might eat you is a terrible idea.

Sure once you are a zombie you won't remember you have loads of survivors remember it takes 30 survivors to make you smart somehow.

Mahatma coat

see I had thought about that, I would go back to the base and when it came to my shift on the nightwatch, I would tie everyone up and hide all their weapons, then I could mooch off, capture one of the smart Z's take a blood sample to infect myself with, get back to base, barricade the doors so no one can get OUT (cept me obviously when I becoms a supersmart badass imortal)

but yeah the key thing here is that being a Z in this case isnt as bad a proposition as you might think and if the z's have all the capacitys of a human then I would be very swayed to that line of action.


Course I jut buggerd up my plan cos now none of ye will let me eat your brain crash at your safehouse

Knocking out 30 people and bind,gag them before they can raise an alarm?
30 people who have living in Z world for months?

And putting only one person on watch at night?


I dont like your chances.

Mahatma coat

D00d bearz in mindz that I'sllll be the Tooled up boardsie with the safehouse
Plan for ALL eventual outcomes :D:D:D

Evolute

You have thought about this too much also best of luck getting a blood sample from the smart zombies. Although I don't see it happening and not from eating brains well Irish brains anyway.

But they are dead and obviously disfigured in someway even if they are dexterous they can still have disfiguring gashes and stuff cause they dont heal they just keep going and the immortality bit there is no guarantee that they are immortal

Mahatma coat

See I'm thinkin disease wise more along the infection/mutation scenario, theres always gonna be some trait of the human left, the reaso there are so many shufflers to contend with is that there are so many shufflers out there already aimlessy wanderin around

there will always be the few from the start tho that were more agressive to beginwith, or smarter, throw a thirst for human flesh inta that and if movies have taught us antyhing its that if you were a spotty trollyboy as a human, we can muzzle you and put you back out in the carpark on a chain to guar the trollys, but if you were like a Badass Bmovie 7foot baldivillain then yore gonna bee one BADASS Zombie.
