Re: A Zombie Discussion with Zeth you would use medusa as a medic? isn't she more of the "evil kill you with arrow-snakes" type? don't recall her ever healing anyone.
Re: A Zombie Discussion with Zeth It took me a moment to remember what I was talking about in that last post.
Re: A Zombie Discussion with Zeth I would not even mess around. I would hoard all the guns, rifles, grenades, swords, knifes, bow and arrows, cross bows, and such. I would recruit a few mechanics to my team so that we can have operating dirt bikes and 4-wheelers. Both are easy on fuel. I would attempt to also steal a few fuel trucks so that my raids on gas stations can be kept to a minimum. Then I would gather people who can shoot and who are willing to do what is needed for survival. If I am lucky I would be able to save a good many women. Mainly I want girls who was working at a strip club when the zombie out break occurred, but not for mine or my men's entertainment. They possess a mindset that I need to maintain my survival. They also already have the mindset to do what is needed to survive because most of them was already in a survive or die mode long before the Zombie apocalypse. First step after raiding weapons, food, and recruiting people is to go to the mountains. We need a place by a river or creek so that we can always have water, and hopefully the woods would provide us with plenty of vegetation and wild life to eat for food. The out in the woods part will also allow us to be placed in a spot that has very little human traffic. The less there are of human traffic, the less there will be Zombies. Then I will have my men track the area to find a common walked path for drifting survivors. These survivors will be beneficial to our survival. It will allow us to recruit holes in our team, like doctors, cooks, and fighters. Now when worse comes to worse, I will have one of my strippers play as bate on high traffic roads. We will use her as a Dane to set a trap so that we can steal food and weapons from drifters. The goal will not be to kill the drifters, but sometimes you got to do what you got to do. I will also set up a defense just incase our raiding parties attracks Zombies, vengeful drifters, or a bear. This will give us multiple escape routes and ensure that all paths to us is bolstered with hundreds of traps that only my people know of.
Re: A Zombie Discussion with Zeth Hell, you've put some thought into this. But there's a thin line between surviving and becoming the monsters you fight. Any person who came near my base would be ambushed, searched, and then questioned. Once they were no longer a threat, they would be set free, unless they wanted to join, in which case I would weigh their skills against another mouth to feed. People to look out for would be mechanics, farmers, police officers or ex military, engineers, handymen, welders, etc. We would need all of those things to build a thriving community inside Fort Grant. If the people were threats, they would either be taken far away from the fort, and dropped off with half of their gear, or killed, depending on the threat level.
Re: A Zombie Discussion with Zeth Zeth, one must evolve with the world. When money rules the realm, you must become a money minded person. When monsters rules the world, you must become a monster to survive. Those who hold on to their charity for too long will end up costing the lives of them and their team. Where as my crew only priority is our survival and well being. Though that is just one of my many plans to survive and probably the most effective one.
Re: A Zombie Discussion with Zeth Probably so, but being the sentimental dummy I am, I'd rather die a person, than live a monster.
Re: A Zombie Discussion with Zeth And what makes me a monster if I lived out that situation? Someone's perspective? My colony would be set up for survival of my group. We would collect doctors and nurses for medical purposes. Protect our women and children at all cost. Maintain food and water for those who live among us. Sure the drifters will be screwed, but it doesn't mean we will go after all drifters. Women and children and those who watch after them will be offered a pass or even a home. My death raids will go after all male crews who are loaded down with weapons. Who knows, maybe we are eliminating horrible people from this world. See it's all in the greater details and in the the eyes of those that will determine if we are monsters or saviors. And I will allow myself and my fighters who are ready and willing, to be the monsters if it allows us to be the saviors of my colony. It is just evolving with the world that falls before us.
Re: A Zombie Discussion with Zeth But what happens when somebody inevitably sends the tow truck in? The rich and powerful, world leaders, they're all going to bunker down and make it, and they won't be the nice ones. They'll be the ones that abandoned us, so when they send out an army to wipe the countryside and slate clean, do you join them, or fight back? It's not like they're going to moral and ethical, without somebody to slap them on the hands when they **** your women and children.
Re: A Zombie Discussion with Zeth Personally, I'm not going to let anybody, NWO, Bandits, anybody take away who, and what I am. I wouldn't roll over, I wouldn't surrender. I'd rather die fighting than in a ditch with my hands tied behind my back begging for my life, as some unchecked soldier ass gunned me and my comrades down.
Re: A Zombie Discussion with Zeth When you are the head of a colony of monsters, what stops them from tearing you and each other apart? Zeth is right, stayin human is best. Humans, when faced with one common enemy, band together. Monsters would only see their would-be allies as people to exploit and kill.
Re: A Zombie Discussion with Zeth Ah, when the rich come back with their bombs and their tanks. My only option then, if I am presented with an option to join or be killed is to let my colony vote. If we join, I will have my fighters attached to family groups and make exit plans incase they want to abuse our women and children. This result may get us all killed but hopefully it will let us at least be a staple in the resistance as a martyr. If we join and do my people good, then we will assist them. If we don't join, then we capitalize on our location and build a more complex set of traps and a tunnel system. This will allow us to effectively commence in gorilla war fair. All of my preplanning and execution would already set me up in the best situation to fight the NWO. We are in mountains, surrounded by an area that humans do not travel. This means there is no roads and no path for heavy equipment like trucks and tanks to travel to us. We already rigged our entire area out to prevent avengers and big game from attacking us and we have a multiple point strategy to grab and go with multiple of fall back locations and paths that are all heavily set up with traps to slow them down. A bombing raid on us will work to a point but since we are in the wilderness, we would be hard to locate, and I will already have displaced our colony to prevent to many people to be stuck in one place. So My plan has it's many effectiveness. And since I allowed my men to be monsters to a point, I know they will have no trouble with night raids and ambushes on the NWO military sites. This allows for cut throat and grab maneuvers. Zeth, you will be in a prison that could be leveled with a few well placed bombs. How would your prison withstand an air strike and how would your escape out run a military convoy?
