    Similar to the horror tourney we had,I thought this one deserved it's own thread.


    Rules:
    The competitors face either;
    100 Sprinting Zombies or 250 Shambling Zombies

    They will be random locations[Submissions welcome]

    Kill or Be Killed we want survivors not escape artists,they must eliminate all of the horde using only what limited resources they have available to them.

    Humans Only

    First to 5 votes [Horde or survivor]
    In the interest of practicality,they will be given a small amount of ammo for a generic gun[or their signature weapon,where applicable]

    Let's get reeady to ruuummbbbllleeee!!

    Round 1:

    Jason Bourne

    VS

    28weekslater.gif
    The Sprinters[100]
    28weekslater.gif
    IN

    The Supermarket
    supermarket-rear-case-aisles.jpg

    While out doing his groceries the agent stumbled across an informant,after disposing of this spy in a back room,Bourne emerges at the rear of the main store to find a rather large crowd of angry looking zombies waiting for him.

    As this was a relatively civilian trip has 1 Glock 17 [13 bullets] in his Jacket pocket.The Zeds have not seen him,yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭DakotaYoda


    Bourne is killed.

    Having only 13 rounds of ammo on him, Jason quickly heads for the cleaning chemicals to whip up some homemade bombs. These are quickly detonated resulting in fires which begin to engulf the store.

    Bourne has to resort to hand to hand and tho he's tough - there are too many and they are just tooooo fast.

    Dunno for sure... but thats a start at least. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74 ✭✭Goodoak


    Bourne lives and gets the girl.;)

    Ok on the face of it things look bad but if we stick with Bourne’s character here he’ll do a hell of a lot better if he has a young lady to protect.

    So Bourne re-enters supermarket to see “cute checkout girl” being chased by zeds. His protective instincts and hard ass black ops training kick in and he easily takes down the chasing deadheads. Then using “cute checkout girls” intimate knowledge of the interior and back rooms of the supermarket Bourne is able to evade and eliminate the zombies one by one or in small groups until the end when he discovers the whole thing is a covert black ops programme gone wrong that he was once a part of (insert convenient memory flashbacks here:rolleyes:) and now must expose and destroy.:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Bourne re-enters the main supermarket silently, as soon as he sees the horde, he quickly retreats the way he came back into the stores.

    He gets to work using the forklift to place crates around the floor making a giant food obstacle course. He knows if he can push them into a bottle neck he has a chance, incidentally Bourne had just watched 300 the night before.:P

    He makes his way to a high point in the store, and carries a few crates of tinned food with him this will be his fall-back position so best to stock it now, he also has a large fire extinguisher.

    He then makes lots of noise, with the infected only able to enter a few at a time he has plenty of time to pick them off with a flying tin of jumbo valve baked beans.

    He also has his gun it things get hairy.

    Bourne to survive with ease.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Bourne turns the entire shop into a furnace. Luckily the shop was having a special on cooking oil, He breaks down the store produce and shelving mostly around the outer walls leaving the middle covered with good absorbent materials to soak up the cooking oil and rigs some shelving to collapse once the Zombies are in.

    Get's up on the roof finding easy access down to the ground , lets in the Zombies, traps them and sets the place on fire, mutters something about kippers.

    That makes it 3-1 to the newspaper killer himself.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    I just can't realistically see Bourne surviving this. He good, but he just doesn't have enough time to prepare, and while his combat skills are top-notch he isn't going to win against that many opponents who are singleminded in their desire to kill.
    Bourne eats the last round in his Glock. Zombies win


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 ZuluPunch


    Well as Bourne is played by an actor and that actor wouldn't be seen dead ( excuse the pun) in a supermarket, he would send his entourage to do his shopping.
    They be quickly overpowered but ironically would kept some deep rooted sense of serving their master and return to his abode, with some metrosexual beauty products for Bourne.
    As Bourne opens the door to his returning serfs, he quickly gets his face eaten off. Even those beauty products wont help him now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja


    4-2,I'm surprised this is how it's turning out.One more vote for the secret agent will get him through or will the zombies sprint into the lead:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,976 ✭✭✭Brendog


    Bourne obviously escapes.....but not without taking a few zombies heads first




    LONG LIVE BOURNE

    Well,I'm calling this a success,he does get out alive and make it home[if he dies at home it's his own problem]

    Thought it was kill or be killed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭DakotaYoda

    Yup - no escape. Either all the Z's are dead or he is. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja


    Thought it was kill or be killed.
    which is why I'm not counting it.Until it's clarified[I'm not going to god-mod the decision]

    The score is 2-2;

    For Bourne:Micky;Goodoak

    For the zeds: Dakota;Cyberwolf

    A bit confusing;ScumLordurl=http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=67144982&postcount=101]See here[/url


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    He's not burning and going, he stick around to watch them burn it's half the fun for him.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Mahatma coat


    Bourne Kicks Ass.

    Takes to the top of the Aisles where he's out of reach, then systematicly funnels them into bottlenecks and Smushes theit squidgey little heads til theres none left.

    Bourne Realises that if the Shop Filled with 250 Sprinters in the time it took himto beat the Snot out of some Infornmant(not very Long) he'd be fairly Daft to venture outside.

    he uses the last of his mobile phone battery to call whatever friends he can and get themto the Supermarket

    Once bourne has secured the Premises he burns the Dead Z's in the Shop incinirator and establishes a camp on the Roof, Diligently lookin survivors he can Rescue.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74 ✭✭Goodoak


    Ok so if we count scumlords i make the score 4-2 to Bourne.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Is there a time limit on this round?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja


    Is there a time limit on this round?
    Yeah,I've been crazy busy with stuff for college,it'll run more regularly after a while.

    4-2 Bourne Survives and carries on.

    Round 2:
    rambo.jpg
    John Rambo
    VS
    250 Shamblers
    20100222-d44p41nb4tf38u4rq6s37ng2jp.jpg
    IN

    The Scrapyard
    Allied_AZ_00_scrapyard.jpg

    On a wander home from a camping trip,he stops by the local scrapyad as his first port of call, all rambo has is his trusty hunting knife and the shirt on his back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    John is in his element here, loads of places to hide and climb and loads of sharp metal around him.

    He would move and kill, move and kill.

    Easy win for John.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74 ✭✭Goodoak


    Too easy, John wins this one in under 45mins


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    John walks through the shamblers with ease.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Mahatma coat


    if he can Defeat the entire Viet Cong by Himself then I cant see any problems with a few Shamblers

    Rambo FTW

    Again standard procedures

    Divide
    Isolate
    Contain
    Squish

    Repeat as required


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Mahatma coat


    On a Side note, I think I know that guy in the Blue hoodie, Zombification seems to have done Wonders for his complexion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja


    4-0 to Rambo,he's having a field day with this one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭DakotaYoda


    Yup - have to agree on this. Rambo would take down the Shamblers. His up close and personal methods of killing would work just fine for the shambling horde.

    He'd rig up a number of traps to take out large numbers at a time while using the terrain to his advantage.

    Rambo FTW.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 783 ✭✭✭Kromdar


    i keep missing the start of these threads! i like what i'm seeing so far, keep it up!

    as mentioned:
    rambo, sharp metal, hidey places, win.

    he might get tired. but thats about it. and unless he finds a workers lunchbox, he might just get too tired. but still, i wouldnt put it past him to hack off a z limb and chow down on it.

    6-0 to Rambo,I can't say I didn't see that one coming.

    Cause Rambo's that good. :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    So what about them Yankees? :pac:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Mahatma coat


    Right, so who's next into the fray then?????

    I nominate Ocean Liner as the Location, if we're allowed do that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja


    Well balls,I thought I had this round up last night :rolleyes:

    ROUND 4:The Italian Stallion
    2006_rocky_balboa_008.jpg
    Rocky Balboa
    VS

    250 Shamblers

    IN

    OldGym.jpg
    THE GYM

    The Stallion was working out as he did every thursday,when after his first set he noticed the gym to be empty and a groaning coming from the entrance,as he checked he sees a stream of mouldy corpses shuffling towards him.

    The beefcake was mid routine so he has no firearms on his person,what could this ordinary joe rustle up in a Gym.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Either

    A, the Zeds think he is undead from the lack of brain impulses

    or

    B, They corner him and rip him into a million pieces.

    we all know that Rocky only comes good after taking a proper ass whopping, well, Afraid he can't come back from this beating.

    Zeds win by way of KO.

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Mahatma coat


    Concur, wheras rambo was a creature adept at sneakin up on his prey, Rocky, the Pugilist that he is, would doubtlessly resort to Punchin his way straight out, inevetibly leading him into the epicentre of a horde, where if we are lucky he is promptly torn to shreds.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Rocky's skill set does not lend itself to his survival. While he may be able to bottleneck the horde for a short time they will eventually overwhelm him and bring him down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    we all know that Rocky only comes good after taking a proper ass whopping, well, Afraid he can't come back from this beating.
    He can come back as a Zombie which is pretty much what he was like to begin with so win for Rocky?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭DakotaYoda


    Trying to come up w/ a plan for Rocky... but I can't. hehe.

    He goes down using a side of beef as a weapon - just too many of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja


    That's 5-0 to the horde.NOMNOMNOM Rocky falls in a landslide of zeds.

    That champion belt ain't worth much now is it sunshine?

    Next round up shortly

    ROUND 4: Yipee-kai-ay mutha F*cker

    John McClane

    VS

    100 Sprinters

    IN
    THE AIRPORT
    airport05.jpg

    While reliving his previous achievements at the airport,John is trapped in the familiar location by the weather,he can't escape until they blizzard clear,but will he be around to get the chance? The zombified staff may have something different to say about that.

    With his signature SIG P220 in his chest holster this could be a long stay[9x9mm bullets]


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Mahatma coat


    McClane COULD Survive his way through this, get some supplies and hold out in the Tower or somewhere els and hope that the debilitating cold of the Blizzard hinders the Zom's somewhat as he drops heavy objects on them from a safe height.

    He WONT Tho, McClanes inherent Gung Ho Nature and emotional attachment to people will see him doing something Heroic but Retarded and gettin himself eaten.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 783 ✭✭✭Kromdar


    A close win for McClane. i would see it play out as it has done in an of his previous films, escape the initial fray, get stuck in a ventilation duct somewhere, and engage with small groups of the sprinters; each time getting to safety just as something explodes.

    How it would go down:
    During the initial escape from the terminal he picks some off from an upstairs balcony -10 Z's, he's now out of ammo.

    Gets to the tower via some fire escapes and some air ducts, finds some ammo in a security post. There's firefight down the tower stairs with a few CRT monitors thrown at the oncoming horde. -15 Z's.

    Rappels down the side of the tower by means of knotted electrical cables to the field, heads for the fire station. A few z's might try to follow him out the window, lessening the numbers. -5 Z's.

    he has a head start anyway, all the rest of the z's have to run back down through the building.on arrival at the fire station he acquires an airfield fire truck and proceeds to mow down the majority of the horde. -50 z's

    The truck is damaged by all the carnage, and john makes his way on foot back towards the terminal, being chased by the Z's. uses most of his last mag firing wildly. -5 Z's

    running for the nearest plane, he passes a fuel truck. laughing, he turns and says, "yippie Ki Yay, mother****er" and empties that last round into the fuel truck, detonating it and ending the final few sprinters. -15 Z's

    cut from the glass in the tower and the crashed fire truck, and scorched from the exploded fuel tanker, McClane survives, barely.

    Good movie would watch again....oh wait.

    1-1 for John McClane vs the horde


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭DakotaYoda


    Krom -thats freakin' great. I could not have thought up a better explanation. I was going to vote for him to live - and you NAILED how he does.

    McClane emerges beat up bit victorious!!!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    I'm with kromdar as well. McClane has to survive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,968 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    McClane FTW!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja


    That brings the tally up to 4-1 for Kromdar McClane

    I'll call time on this round in an hour or two,can the zombies sprint to a late lead?


    I'm sorry,couldn't resist


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Will he have enough ammo? How many rounds does he have on him? You can't play hide and seek with these zombies. You can't play divide and conquer. I don't think McClane would have brought enough ammo for a party. I think the initial shock will make him stand his ground, will take down the first few sprinters. But in his naivety I don't think McClane will realise that these poor souls are truly lost and will fail to go for head shots. Hence, this is why I think that the Sprinters will be too much for him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    I like McClane but he has alot of issues in his life, problem with drink, problem with wife.

    This could be the breaking point. He would go down fighting, fighting the demons in his own head.

    Sprinters.
