Poll: Faith in The Zombie Survival Guide
- Thread starter Diablini

I don't think anyone should. It's common knowledge that those two hate each other. Anyway, robots are too awesome to be survived.TraumaHound said:
OT:Never heard of the book, and I honestly doubt I could get it around here. Oh well, guess I'll have to make sumthin up.
Where in Madagascar? I'll meet you there bringing about 5 people seeing as all my friends are morons... then again, most of us have played a zombie game now and then so we should be smart enough not to get bitten.fenrizz said:
My Plan:
There is a gun store nearby... ransack it
Next to the gun store there is a food store... ransack it
My uncle owns a boat... hijack it
Get somewhere safe (i guess madagascar now...)
Ok fine its not that simple, but you get the idea.
Having not read ZSG (yet, it's on it's way,) I can't say if i'll folow it.
On the other hand, why not just go and get infected?? It will save you the big headace of rebuilding society, plus you'll become a zombie, if there was ever a way to die it vould be zombiefication. Well the other ways vould offcourse be jumping out of a burning car while yodling or being sexed to death.

Dude, you ABSOLUTELY have to read World War Z. Here's a hint: it's not about zombies.CaptainCrunch said:I'd probably eat you if you weren't pulling your weight, before the zombies could get to you. It's likely the cleanest source of meat in such circumstances, and it's best to keep moving in any situation involving the undead. It's nothing personal, just survival.
Being prepared for survival doesn't mean preparing to prolong survival instincts. If you really want to be prepared for Z-Day, learn the critical skills you'll need when your supplies run out and your weapons stop working. Stockpiling weapons and going to Canada is just a really elaborate way to freeze and starve to death, IMO.
It's not so much that I disagree with the ZSG strategy, just that the overwhelming improbability of zombie apocalypse is slightly less improbable than zombie apocalypse happening the way the satirical fiction portrays it.
Are you serious? Can you back it up? No offense, but "Max Brooks is the son of Mel" is too awesome for my brain to accept.Jamash said:
I too bought it for a humorous read, and that was dispelled soonafter. Great book.
However it makes no mention of Castles as a place to hide in event of Zombie attack. My plan involves a castle and I don't know if it's any good. Plus where the hell am I supposed to get a gun in the UK?!

I didn't know such a book existed.
Well, I might as well get it and make it into my own personal bible.
How much would said masterpiece cost a poor chump like myself?

OK, checks out. Sunuvabitch. Also found the article about the movie, written, not incidentally, by J. Michael Straszinski. Ohhh, my head asplode.UncleOvid said:
Did I mention that EVERYONE SHOULD READ WORLD WAR Z?!? There is a chapter specifically about surviving in English castles.thenumberthirteen said:
Also, I think the final view on guns is basically, they're nice to have, but don't leave your machete behind.

It's relatively common knowledge (well, it's on Wikipedia), and you can see the family resemblance (especially around the mouth, cheeks, nose and hairline).
Plus, he's obviously inherited some his father's talent for comedy and satire, or at least learnt it growing up (nature or nurture).
My favourite book, and I have a full plan just in case.
Being a sailor, my current plan is to get some friends together, head to the marina, take out my 40-footer, and any others we can get together, and form a floating convoy with hydroponics and fishing to sustain ourselves indefinitely.
*Wink*

I haven't read World war Z as the ZSG made me scared enough about zombies, and WWZ would probably finish me off. If, however, there is a part about Castles then I'd better buy it.UncleOvid said:
