Is the Zombie Apocalypse inevitable?

Mr Benevolent

The zombie apocalypse will never happen, sorry to be the one to tell you all. There'll probably be a flu pandemic, but that will be survivable by simply staying at home.

We’re already experiencing the zombie apocalypse over here in the states. But here we refer to them as Liberal Democrats.

So that's what's wrong with the Tea Party types - liberal zombies ate their brains!

Hey, don’t blame me for the comparison… blame Bob Hope.

And I think you are confusing us (the Tea Party) with the leadership of the GOP – whose brains have been eaten. The Tea Party is currently on a more focused mission... sort of like Tallahassee’s quest for the ever elusive Twinkie.

Nah, they're both loopy crackpots.

And "Amerika" should either be spelt with a "c" or a triple k.

Clever, but Amerika, as spelled, is correctly representative of the triumph of the American Spirit against oppressive occupation... perhaps worse than zombies.

It's not a matter of if but when. Don't fear though. A specialist Boardsie survival team has been in training for years. Their objective is to save a select list of current Boardsies. To ensure we can protect the core of boards.ie.

I hate to break it to you, but the chances of the Native Americans repelling the oppressive white occupiers are looking increasingly slim.

In fact, day one of the zombie apocalypse I'm burning that place down.

Honestly, i felt a bit wary of mentioning it. Then i realised i might be taking it too seriously.

As long as once it hits you avoid the
Hospitals: I mean come on, you deserve to be a zombie if you think thats a good idea
Ports: Both air and sea, Unless you're confident of getting there first, but where do you go?
Gardai: If you go to them for help you'll probably have to fill out some sort of statement by the time you're halfway through you and everyone you love will be dead
Churches: All the oul Marys will head straight to the chapel for a mass to pray away the evil dead and they are zombies on the best of days so imagine them after the zombie apocalypse. Madness I tells ya

In the event of finding yourself in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, get yourself a fat friend, or well anyone you can run faster then will do.

We're at a disadvantage in this country, very limited access to automatic weapons. If most zombie flicks I've seen is anything to go by you need to raid gun store first off, then take your survival plan from there. The old smoothbore shotguns loaded with Rook Be Dead pellet cartridges will be of limited use in repelling denizens of the grave.

I find myself thinking all the time what would i do right now if zombies attacked. Always have a plan when im in new places haha

Augmerson

There's a game on the internet called Day Z, and it's about surviving in a post-apocalyptic world filled with Zombies. The biggest danger however is from people. Teams of people stake out towns or forts, raid abandon posts for supplies and kill other survivors and take their weapons. I reckon that'll be the biggest concern, not Zombies but people.

Ill just go ahead and leave this for yall :pac:

There's also a running app called 'zombies, run!'...

Lotsa fun. And lets you train for outrunning the dead, with scary sound effects.

Most people dont have emergancy food supplies never mind anything else. If there was some major incident and food supplies ran out most people would be starving. Even keeping a few tins is better than nothing.

I knew there was a reason I was saving for flying lessons. All you need is a chopper and some poxy little island off the west coast. One of the uninhabited ones, to be safe. Might be boring as hell living on nothing but sheep/seaweed, but at least you'd survive.

Mr Benevolent

Hold on, this stupid zombie apocalypse idea has a fatal flaw:

Zombies eat brains. Zombies are killed when their brain is destroyed. Anyone who is killed by a zombie will have their brains eaten. So none of the infected will have a brain as it will have been eaten. Logically then, they can't become a zombie if their brains have been eaten. So the 'zombie apocalypse' would be a self-limiting problem.

QED. You're welcome.

Common misconception. Zombie vegetarians crave cauliflower.

Am I on it? Yknow, since I started the Zombie Survival forum? Yeah? Well, I better be! :pac:

The Zombie Apocalypse isn't as far fetched as people make it out to be; all it'll take is for the Rabies virus to mutate and we're all pretty much screwed.

If it does happen it wont be anything like the movies. Everyone will get infected, go crazy and die. Those that survive the infection will starve to death, be killed by the crazies or kill themselves due to lack of internet.

I think it will be a more drawn out process, the major factor that will kill most people will be the breakdown of international trade. Without that there won't be food on the shelfs, essential services won't get the maintenance they need. It will reach a critical tipping point where society crumples. That will force everyone out onto the streets in desperation and that's when the zombies will be the most effective.

You cant just stay at home. Most people don't have the supplies and even if you do you'll have all your neighbours wanting a piece of it. Zombification is happening in the natural world. WE're just lucky it's not happening to us yet.

If there are any telecoms engineers I've still got an opening on my kidnap list of specialists. If **** does go down there's no need to worry, I will find you.

That's not a disadvantage at all. You'll be much better off if your friends and enemies aren't armed.
