Okay. In honor of my "rising from the dead" (ie. sudden return), I'd like to ask the SG a very important, life-or-death question.
What would you do in the event of a zombie invasion?
I'll post my own "plan of action" in the event that somebody actually replies to this but until then, er... I'uno. I'm Annabel, as my username might suggest, hope you all remember me. :D

...xDDD And welcome back xD
Oddly enough, this is a conversation my sister and I have regularly. (we watch a lot of horror movies... xD)
Brittany (sister) has said that in the event of a zombie apocolypse (come on, gotta go all the way while we're at it!), we would need to have stocked up on enough canned or non-perishable foods to last at LEAST two years. (olol that's a helluva lot of food XD)
We've also cooked up recipes for the most potent Maltov cocktails (though my argument is that the only thing worse than hoardes of the undead chasing after you is the undead chasing you whilst ON FIRE), various ways of decapitation, and the ever important question of what to do if one of us should join the league of Zombies.
We both agreed we'd take a machete and decapitate each other XDDD

Welcome back (:
Hmmm @_@ insect swarms (excluding butterflies and woolly bear caterpillars) infections, and zombies are I suppose my top 3 horror-phobias. Depending on the nature of the zombies... if they're kind of just there and I can manage to stay unnoticed, I'd hole up somewhere far away and live with my pet birds. If it was an infectious undeath and the zombies were actively trying to eradicate the living, well hell, I'd probably first try running away and then 'accidentally' drown while swimming away from them. lol
I tried really hard to take it in a real life context <o< when I think zombie invasions I start thinking of like 4 different games.

LEFT 4 DEAD. The only thing to do when zombies attack is to break out the snipers and automatic rifles and blow the suckers up.

STEEPLEEEEEEEEEE! (or was that AA90D-le?) Welcome back! I'm not really the most coordinated of people. I think, if it was looking like I was doomed, I'd just lie back and enjoy the zombiefication. Wouldn't have to file my nails or wax my legs anymore! And I'd get plenty of fresh air and exercise (:

On the topic of Molotov cocktails, fire isn't an effective eradication agent for a zombie unless it's hordes of them and a lot of space between you and where you're planning on lighting them on fire. The time it takes for a body to burn to the point of being unable to move - I think they'd eat your brains before that. :P
I'd be chasing you guys down enjoying some good old brains, of course. It was me, after all, who started the epidemic in the first place.

Frosty: Yes, there's nothing like announcing a return to the SG with a topic about zombie invasions!
Jan: XDDD That's pretty much what I think I would do though I'd try to have at least some means of defending myself.
Lain: Always save one bullet for yourself!
Laur: Good point actually---zombification is starting to sound not too bad. Mother always said I could use more exercise.
Kai: I'd prefer high power explosives tbh. :U And a fast getaway vehicle. I think if I was living in a zombie infested area I'd want them to nuke it. rofl ...Oh. It would be you. >:\ Thanks a freaking lot, Kai, I'm eating your brains for that.

DAMMIT KC I TOLD YOU TO NOT START THE INFECTION PROCESS YET D< (and puh-leeze, you'd have to do it like in 28 Days- from the ROOFTOPS 8DDD)
...whoops
I took a quiz once on my chances for survival in the event of said apocalypse- I've got a 79% chance of making it, evidently. It did unsettle my mom quite a bit that the only reason I'd stay in a group of people was because I'm the fittest one of my family and therefore would ditch them to survive 8DD.

I just finished reading a book titled ''ride and prejudice and zombies'' based on Jane austins classic... featuring zombies. its by far the funniest thing I've read this year. (give it a go, I assure you'd all probably enjoy it) so in the event of a zombie invasion, I'd probably Arm myself with lethal weapons and become some sort of zombie slayer, just for the heck of it.

I've heard about that book! I read the blurb and wasn't quite sure what to make of it.
Is it actually the entire plot of pride and prejudice but with zombies? d:

I'm currently reading, "The Zombie Survival Guide" (Complete Protection from the Living Dead) by Max Brooks (And really want to read his other book, World War Z) and I have a few ideas...One of my brothers and I have talked about this actually...
It depends on the outbreak. If there's only a reasonable number of zombies, it's possible to hole up in a two story apartment building or home. Prepare defenses as much as possible and get supplies to the second floor, especially water. Then when you can survive for quite some time on said second floor, knock out the staircase. Zombies can't climb, you see.
However, if it's a more massive invasion, I would need to get away. A military complex is usually a good option when considering for a possible fortress. An offshore oil rig would be another very potentially good option.
And of course, I would always keep my Glock handy, along with various knives. Yes, I own a gun. Basically. Lock n load baby.

...it's like I do a time warp every time someone mentions The ZSG and WWZ. D8
HAS NO ONE ELSE READ THEM UNTIL NOW? Both of my copies are worn coverless from reading ahaha.
P.S. Glock /=/ Decent Zombie Protection
I'll be darned if any of you could shoot straight with a bunch of moaning, foaming brain-gnawers up in your face. D8

I haven't read either FFFFFAIL
Anyway. I'd probably become a zombie. Or lunch or whatever. I have the survival skills of a dented pie-plate.

Yeah... I'm with Ferret on the survival skills thing... I'd probably shoot myself in the head just to get it over with. If there's one thing I hate, it's the suspence. That and being scared spitless 24/7 is not a very pleseant existence. |:[ If I read anything having to do with zombies I end up worrying the invasion is imminent. So I tend to avoid those books. c: However, they do sound interesting.

Doesn't fire work well against zombies?

I wouldn't think so. Considering the time it takes a body to burn and the time wasted preparing the fire, it's not the most practical weapon unless you're in a place of ensured safety, like a helicopter or on the moon. If you weren't and simply chucked a torch into a crowd of zombies, then you'd have flaming zombies, not dead ones. While it may be a nice gesture, no zombie is going to get sick from eating raw flesh.

I suppose that's true. Fire doesn't burn souls or anything.

Souls? There's actually mention of souls on a board about zombies!?
I guess it's how you're schooled in zombies. For those of us who see it as a virus/drug-induced brain-damaged state soul plays no part. They're already too-far gone to have any sense in faith. It's a cliche term but technically speaking, they have no souls.
As for the spawn-of-hell-risen-from-the-dead-etc. sort, I don't know how well fire would work. Holy fire? Holy anything, really, I have to see in person before I'll believe.

If I were in a Zombie movie or Zombie Attack situation, I bet I'd be the first person dead. "Hey guys, look outside, more people want to come to our partyyyyYEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" *chomp* ^^;

yes it is the entire plot of pride and prejudice, with the entire continent of england inflicted by a strange plague of zombies. the Bennet sisters have been trained for combat in china xD along with Mr Darcy who's also a master of the lethal arts lolz. think ''resident evil'' as for not being able to shoot straight, I'm actually pretty skilled with guns, I've been shooting since I was 7 and regularly compete in clay target competitions. shotguns are more my thing but I can shoot with just about anything. try hunting kangaroos when you have a 6 foot angry red kangaroo male charging straight at you lolz it ain't easy.
