Poll: Oh No! You've Been Bitten by a Zombie!

[Agarth]

"Nuunnghuh..." "What the hell? Oh shit!" *crunching tearing sound followed by gunshot* "Ow! God. Damn that hurt!" *examines bite* "Shit... That got past the armor... and there's no cure... exept this..." *Sound of loading a pistol* "Well... I always knew it would come down to this... The others. Yes they'll find this recording on my body. I just hope they can survive without me..." *Cocks gun* "So long world... Good luck with the zombies... Cameron better not try to shag... Nngh... Or else I'ma hauntin' him. Brain... meet high speed projectile... Goodbye everyone... I'll miss you all..." *Gunshot*

After that the rest of the scavenging party will come to investigate the gunshot and my screaming. I just hope they don't arrive to see me blow my own brain out with a Dessert Eagle. Also, I don't have a girlfriend now, but if the zombie apocalypse, or any apocalypse, happens I know I'm going to meet the love of my life, and probably die before "Repopulating Earth with her". This is my future. I just know it.

Best case scenario is that we have someone who can rig a bomb with me. Im already a zombie soon right? Time to go on a rampage. and should the horde take me down or i become fully zombified have my my buddy hit the switch and BOOM blaze of glory and scorched zombie flesh. screw taht bullet to the head shit.

It is better to die in a blaze of glory(and explosives) rather than to fade away.

 

[Kevin Maccaull]

I think id try to go out in an epic blaze of glory and if i survive that, and am still alive then brain meet bullet

Random fact: Bites are a very ineffective method of spreading disease. So if its only the one bit you still have good odds on not being infected.

that is true for all existing viruses, all zombie viruses however, have been known to be transferred at the slightest break of the skin, usually only if said skin is broken by teeth though

However for any virus to infect someone it has to enter the blood stream and bites are not a reliable for drawing a deeper enough wound. Zombies don't get superpowes and razor teeth (unless they had those power becoming undead).

 

[Kaymish]

well if its your fairly traditional zombie and since i am the only one who can do what it takes it will have to be Mr brain meet Mr pistol and Miss bullet

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Well I guess I'd better grab a screen door and start shuffling slowly towards someone's house.

don't bother with my house I have tons of cabbage and giant corn growing on my lawn.

Oh shit! Not the Cobb Launcher! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Save me ZomBoss save meeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

oh yeah when I say "lawn" I actually mean "farmland" and when I say "house" I actually mean "underground base"

oooookay, this guy's brains aren't worth it. We'll try that highrise over there, plenty of brains and not a plant in sight.

yes, they get the superpower to transfer the virus by bite! why do you deny logic? it's a known fact that a zombie infection or curse is passed on to a human by said human being bitten by any zombie! don't apply known viruses to zombie infection! if viruses can be spread through the air, they can be spread by a bite

I didn't say they can't be spread by bites; just that its not a 100% chance of infection. Airbourne zombie virus would screw us all though.

Also if its a curse there's nothing we can do; as it suggests a necromancer or some other hellish power is involved.

Assuming that if I kill myself, I'll come back, and I wouldnt want to hurt anyone else, I'd just have my friends weight me down and toss me into the bottom of a lake or something.

 

[hoboman29]

Quick bite my friends as my final "you're an asshole" move besides we can eat other peoples brains

 

[Cid Silverwing]

What, no "Seek a cure" option?

 

[AngelSword]

My plan? Close the book I'm reading, as I've begun to take the possibility of a zombie-pocalypse too seriously, and need to get back into reality.

 

[DEATHD0DGER]

Where's the "badass last stand" poll option?

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Courage Wolf and its infinite guidance once again saves me the thinking process.

GUYS!!!! Someone HAS to be immune! If it ever actually happens, it will most likely spread through the air, which means anyone who doesn't turn into a zombie immediately is already immune! Also, what if it spreads like any other infection?? TOO MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE KILLED BEFORE WE REALIZED THESE THINGS! Movies and games have conditioned us to believe there is no way to stop the spread of infection, and that the infection would spread incredibly quickly. Don't make assumptions based on television, if there WAS a zombie virus, we WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING about how it actually works unless we tested it.

I always wonder why people assume a zombie virus. No virus could ever live in a dead cell, so after the human died the virus would do so too. I'm writting a zombie fic, and I'm working from a fungus. One that travels to the brain and protects only certain parts while destroying other parts to do so. If this fungus would spread across the entire nervous system it would actually be possible for a rotting body to listen to the brain. Of course such a fungus can never exist, but it feels more plausible then a virus to me.

Nice...I've thought for a while that we could make a "zombie virus" by using PCP and reprogramming some basic neuro-transmitters to make humans seem like edibles. I haven't worked out how to make it spread through bites, maybe a form of aids? But yea, the PCP (or pcp-like substance) would cause them to hallucinate, with a little tampering it could also make them very angry (a little more tampering could make the results permanent). Then, we just make some chemical (I'm sure there's something out there...maybe not a chemical, I'm not a fucking scientist) that would cause them to view humans as food. So...yea...not so much a zombie virus as a zombie drug.

Actually, the zombie virus only lets a human body stay dead for the maximum of an hour before taking over, so not all of the cells would be dead. Therefor, the virus could still control the body. And just to clear some more things up, the zombie virus, Solanum, will not be airborne. Though be advised that it can be waterborne. If any zombie tissue, blood, drool, or any other substance gets into a food or liquid it will be infected. And furthermore, if you see something on the news, something involving brutalities were the attacker used his or her teeth as a weapon, or the said attackers being executed by being shot in the head or decapitated, this could very well be a sign of a small-scale zombie outbreak. The government will no doubt try to have a coverup for such a situation, as would be expected. Make sure you do your homework on these events. Metaphorically speaking, of course. I for one am prepared. My best friend has an anti zombie base, and I have guns. Along with the proper knowledge and training no zombie can stop you. Unfortunately, ignorance, a zombies greatest ally, is all over the world. My time reading and memorizing the zombie survival guide has served me well... And I will rest easy knowing I will survive.

 

[finecrazydud]

no one can fight for ever i would make sure to kill the one that infected me and just go one with my fate. it happens.

oh my god... you and i have the two most awesome pokemon avatars in existance! but in the interest of side-stepping vanity- hehe, your avatar's hilarious!

i dont know man yours is pretty epic

 

[Flyingchciken93]

First i kill the zombie, then its either
1, Concentrate really hard and not turn into a zombie.
2, Mix the zombies and some human blood together say an incantation and drink to avoid turning.
3, Simply meditate and ascend to a higher plane of existence
