OK then, weapons: Shotgun, dual pistols and either a sniper rifle on my back or two swords. Or maybe all of those. I'd get those from the TA (Territorial Army) base in the city centre, though to get there I'd be limited to using blunt instruments from my flat or campus to defend myself. Or a makeshift flamethrower using a match and a can of deodorant.

Hideout? Well, there's plenty of places on campus to hide. The Union - shops there provide food and water supplies, there's a limited number of entry points allowing easy blocking of routes for added security, and Leeds Sturdent Radio (LSR) are based upstairs meaning I can try and use their equipment to broadcast messages for aid. Otherwise, there's a TA place near the city centre, though it'd be a bit of a L4D style trek to get there.

Companions - pretty much anyone who can still walk who I meet. If someone is too badly injured to walk I'll shoot them or simply kill them in whatever way causes the least pain. Simply because I can't take them with me, they'd slow me down, and I wouldn't want to leave them to the zombies' mercy...

Where would I go? I believe I answered that already.

Supplies, I'd get food and water and stick them in my bag that I use for university notes. I have food already and can fill an empty bottle with water, then there's the student union, plus various cafes on campus to get more supplies from. Campus isn't far from the city centre either so I'll be able to break into the shops there for extra supplies (Millets is a great place to get camping stuff from and there's a branch on the main street in Leeds).

tinned food, an axe, owning a boat. fundamental points of win.
bring tinned food and lime tree onto boat (see Waterworld), supplement diet with fish, wait seven years until majority of zombie hordes are gone.
Only thing I'm working on is desalination. Ideas?

It's very simple.
Do you know how humans tamed wolves?
I do, as I know all things.

Meat. A warm place to sleep.
They fed and cared for them, basically. In return, the wolves were dead fucking awesome and they also hunted and shit.

Zombies are like wolves, but less cool and much less intelligent.
Less agile, too.

But the point is, if you feed them consistently, they should eventually realize that killing you would end your ability to provide for them.

So if you get them thinking long term...
Then you're safe.

Think of it!
You go into human hideouts, convince them it's safe, and BAM. The zombies attack!
You take all the human supplies, they eat all the people, everyone is happy except the jackasses who died, but it's okay, because they were jackasses (seriously, they said some very uncouth things about your girlfriend and her extreme promiscuity.)

In return for you being their tracking hound (or in this analogy, their "dog,") they protect and serve you.

See?
Simple.

I can find no fault in your logic.


wonder if you can teach them how to fetch?

Go to my friend Tom's house, he only lives a good ten minutes away and his dad owns a garage. We'd hijack a bus (In our bus depo there's a little office with the keys to all of the buses). We'd drive the bus into the garage and start armour-plating it and taking out most of the seats for room. We'd then start driving around and rescuing anyone we know and can trust, which will at most be about 10 people, seeing as most of our friends are wimps and would only survive due to luck.

We'd then use the remaining space to store food and beverages we'd loot from the ocal supermarket and the petrol stations we encountered furhter along the way. Oh, and if we HAD to split up, we'd all be strip-searched after-wards, I've seen too many zombie movies to know that one dumb fucker will get bitten and not tell anyone. One person would always drive, and we'd all get out to load up on petrol, and defend it extensively.

Unfortunately we'd mainly have to use melee weapons, what with lack of easy weapon accessibility in England, but if we're talking shamblers it shouldn't be a problem. Oh, did I mention we'd all have to wear leather trench-coats? Because:

A.) We'd look AWESOME.
B.) Leather is tough to bite through.

We probably wouldn't survive, seeing as nobody survives a zombie apocalypse, the military doesn't really prepare for this situation.

Or maybe one of the others, there's plenty of them.

EDIT: This is the big one (18 pages, I think we should petition the mods to sticky it...)

This.

OP: I'm sure your eagerness is appreciated. I'm sure you'd love to start a popular topic. But please, for the love of all that is holy, use the search bar.

I'd go for the quiet, accurate gun. Ammo efficiency means you have to carry less.

something along the lines of TF2 pyro+sniper.

-flamethrower/sniper rifle, bow and arrows, shotgun(face it, you cant battle zombies without a shotgun).
-the CN tower, sniping off people from my little room filled with ammo, food, and a PS3.
-my best friend and some other survivor(if there are any) and a cat.
-stay wg=here i am, venturing out for supplies if needed.
-*mentioned in first point*

generally id just pick stuff off, flaming stuff that got too close, with my friend using the shotgun.

It's simple, really. Pick up your Great Sword and your Full Plate and watch as the Zombies helplessly claw at your steel plated body.

my plan is to steal a nuclear aircraft carrier. because it can stay out to sea for months or years at a time. it has planty of planes and helicopters that can attack zombie hourds any where in the world. it can hold food and water to keep people going for years. i can atreact the undead and let them fall into the sea. it has enought ammo to take on germany. and it has more than enought beds for all the page 3 and playboy bunnies to help me repopulate the planet.

my second plan is to steal a nuclear submarine and use the nuclear weapons to destroy the main cities in the world starting with newcastle.
