complete panic wont happen till about the 3rd day, because you will always have people trying to mediate and make people calm down. Complete sh*t wont hit the fan till about the 4th or 5th day.

Plus i have some insurance policy...enjoy:
{insert pics here}

this is jus some of my stuff. Too lazy to take more pics, but ill get some more later. This is just an idea :D


Hi there, new best friend. :grin:

Anyway, what kind of stuff do we have access to? Obviously, money isn't going to be an issue once zombie outbreak starts, but having a bunch of cops on your tail for robbing a ton of places isn't going to help much. Are we just going with whatever we have right now?

Oh, and I'm surprised no one's mentioned flamethrowers yet. :perk:

well link the thing is when you have undead corpses running around eating people a few armed civilians taking over a wallmart is going to be the least of there worries so dont worry about cops. When it happens it will simply be those with guns and zombies (take not the "people" without guns will be zombies).

and flame throwers? honestly when is the last time you saw one. And if you had a choice at a weapon that burns things at close range or a weapon that explodes them at vast distances, which one would you choose. IMO the farther away it is when i kill it the better.

Yeah, in a major apocalypse, cops wouldn't be doing sh*t to stop crime. They would probably all be held up in their precincts with their families and co-workers and kill anyone (human or zombie) that comes near there. Hell, I know I would. Not getting eaten alive > Protecting a city that is about to be filled with mass amounts of undead.

Okay, duly noted.

Improvisation, my good man. :perk:
I'd rather have the guns, but if you need to go RE-style and burn them so they don't reanimate, flamethrowers would be handy for close-in combat or clearing the field of the dead ones.

Five days, hmm? I'll have to make a detailed plan for this.
There's a big, three-story brick high school near me--one of the largest in the state--so I'm thinking I could hole up there with supplies. There's a hardware store nearby, too, so I could load up on supplies from there and bunker down in the school with others. It's all brick and stone, so it should hold up pretty well. The roof would make for an excellent sniper post as well--there's plenty of cover and you have a clear shot for a great distance.

Day one would probably be for recruitment and getting supplies the "conventional" way--getting guns and stuff, getting lumber and all of that, and food. That and starting to work on fortifying the exterior entrances of the building. We'd probably want to strongly fortify doors, windows (on all three levels, not just the first--I'm going to assume the zombies are smart enough to climb and stack up if necessary). I'd also pour some concrete in front of doorways with too much glass and do some bricks there as well (I'd be having my recruits help me with this, obviously). Storage of food would be important, so freezers/refrigerators would be brought in, as would airtight containers and multiple generators.

Day two would be more "unconventional" methods, like stealing stuff that we really need (more guns, ammo, better weapons, more food, etc.). I'd start by closing the security gates in nearly every area (with the exception of maybe one path that leads to cafeteria, bathrooms, and one stairwell. Then it's time to pour some more concrete and brick up the areas behind the gates. Oh, and I'd use the elevators to transport the vending machines upstairs to the second or third level--I wouldn't just smash them because I'd want to keep the drinks in them cold as long as possible. Priority would be securing all entrances not yet completed and reinforcing those that were already secured. Those routes deemed crucial (cafeteria/food storage/bathrooms) will be reinforced at least two times. Certain hallways will be sealed with bricks to give the appearance that there is nothing but a wall there--there are several locations ideal for this. Stairwells will be sealed, with the exception of the one route. All windows will be boarded from the outside if feasible, and bricked up from the inside.

Day three would involve further reinforcement of the crucial areas, going to the roof to build solid concrete/brick structures around entrances that lead into the building (and adding the thickest, sturdiest doors available, be they steel or anything else). Only necessary rooftop entrances will be given this treatment; the rest will be sealed as thoroughly as possible so they cannot be opened. A few classrooms branching off of the "crucial" route will have been left unsealed (with the exception of the windows). These will be fortified and will contain weapons caches and stores of food, so any single one can offer a strong defense on its own. Ceilings will be fortified as best as possible, whether through sealing holes or any other method. Most likely method would be strong plywood.

Days four and five would be the completion of these projects and further fortifications as needed. There can never be too much reinforcement! Enough building supplies will have been looted to keep us busy and leave us with a supply of repair materials.

haha btw, Dawn of the Dead had a nice little "how to" section regarding dispatching multiple zombie targets in the extra sh*t on the dvd.

also, don't forget the proper modifications on your vehicles.

That much work would take quite some time without a large workforce. I'm sure you could easily find enough people to come and help in an area with such a large school, but you would also have to feed all those people for months. I would dampen down a bit of the fortification and send people on looting sprees in large numbers to get more food/weapons/useful objects (vehicles, gas, generators, tools). Note, the zombies are afoot while you are doing all this, just not total infection has occurred yet. Doing all this construction in such a population area might be a difficulty. The cement would have to dry before it became effective at anything, so you would have to kill any zombies or people that might want to ransack you fort. You would need to ration food, just in case. Most people would not like this very much at first and would try to overthrow your order. This could f*ck up the whole plan if your still in the building process. I, personally, would prefer dormant places over highly populated areas.

If I couldn't make it to Billy's, then I would still have a backup plan of my own. There's a Winn-Dixie less than a mile from my house. There's also a hardware store, gas station, three gun stores (not to mention my neighbor whose a gun freak), and a walmart (sells guns, food, hardware supplies, clothes, pretty much anything your heart desires) within five minutes. I live in a forest where there's not many people at all. I would fortify the Winn-Dixie, because there's already the food problem solved and it's close enough to all the essentials to grab sh*t - even in the middle of our survival. There's plenty of stock trucks that are parked all around, so I could just park two in front of the only two entrances. I would weld sheets of metal on the inside of these doors, as well. I would only allow a few people in there (my family + my neighbor(s) for their guns [might as well help them instead of kill them]). Anybody else trying to get in would be killed on the spot for the first few days. If the infection has been released for a while, then I would let stragglers come on in, because they have, at least, shown they can survive under these conditions and won't be a huge liability. In every zombie movie, there's always some asshole that f*cks up and gets 95% of the others killed. f*ck That. Pedestrians can f*ck off and die. I doubt there's 10,000 people within 20 miles of the Winn-Dixie. I believe it would be an ideal place to chill for a few months.

see he left out the part where we would be holding shotguns on our newly found mexican slave workforce to ensure work is done in a timely manor.

very good idea glacius i forgot about that, my father has all the reloading stuff we would ever need, we would just need some more brass and maybe a new powder (i would be scared to move some of his old stuff).

massacre I can't remember where you live but if you hop on US 41 and go north you will find me waiting on the side of the road after about 1.4 hours into GA. 41 is less crowded and you won't go through any towns. and all the retarded people will be trying to go up 75 so it should be clear for a while.

Like i said before i geuss i could pull off a wallmart or a sams or something but it is so big and so many other people are going to have that idea you are going to have to kill alot of civi's or have a bunch of people you don't trust in there. I would much rather be in an isolated spot. I just need to fix a bomb shelter :)
