Zombie Informed Survival Test (Z.I.S.T.)

[nuba km]

snip

you get c, need to plan ahead and don't put yourself in a situation were you might have to kill yourself unless absolutely necessary.

Well you did sya that I was in a hardware store with a flat roof and a ladder. I can get up and zombies can't but there would be no way out as your description claims that there are 200-300 zombies outside and I wouldn't be able to fight through that. If there was a buggy in the shop then I would drive that, but get up a ladder is the best defense: 'real' zombies can't climb ladders but the crush of hundreds or thousands can knock down any quik-fix barricade.

Sorry, but just thought I would get a better garde and you didn't grade situation 2 or 3.

I did include situation 2 and 3 in marking it's just 1 has the most to talk about also many others have come up with reasonable ways to escape the 1st situation.

1. Suicide
2. Suicide
3. Suicide

what can I say? I'm not great at fighting zombies

So who is so far in the survival team? There's what, five or six of us? Can we get a round up of the 'must haves' and those in the maybe list?

HSIAMetalKing A+
MGlBlaze A+ and bronze trophy
you ^same as above
Pyro Paul ^same as above
Daverson A+
and me you can see my quality as a survivor by looking at my critiquing other responses though I think I may have been a bit generous with marks

so that's six though their are about four to six others that have A's and we should team up with seeing as it's a zombie apocalypse.

1.you have ran into a small hard ware store that has: gardening equipment, tools and cash register. you have locked the front door and there is no back door. their are around 200-300 zombies out side what to you do? (in this situation it's slow hard to kill zombies)
2. you have teamed up with a police man and injured 5 year old girl, the police officer is out of ammo and only has a baton left you are carrying a frying pan/combat knife/grenade/pointed metal pole (pick one) zombies are hot on your tail you are about 500m away from a save house what to you do? (these zombies are left 4 dead zombies)
3. you and the person closest to you are 100m away from a helicopter that will rescue you when the other person falls over with the zombies 50m behind you have a pistol with 20 shots left what do you do? (these are 28 days later zombies)

1. Craft myself a makeshift bomb from the garden chemichals and fertilizers, light it and chuck it at the zombies. Then take cover, and run away before the smoke is cleared.
2. Give the policeman my grenade, take the girl and run to the shelter at full sprint. She'll be lighter to carry then the policeman, and the policeman will probably know how to throw a grenade better than I.
3. Hand the person a gun when he inevitably says "Go on without me", then run towards the helicopter at full sprint while the injured guy holds off the zombies.

B, having a sense of humour is a good thing in despaired situation, but your zombie knowledge needs improving as well as your choice of weapon needs improving.

1. run into the hardware store and get between two of the aisles to create a choke point, i find a nailgun, ammo(nails obviously) and bags of soil. i use the bags of soil to create cover (assuming the zombies are slow enough for me to create a small fortress that they will fall over or have to walk around). i take a pitchfork as a close range weapon (with a straight handle, no bumps or secondary handle at the top) and use soil to blind oncoming zombies by throwing it over the crowd causing some of them to stumble, possibly creating a small domino effect. Do i survive?

2. I kill the police officer, quickly slip on his armour jacket and leave him as meat for the zombies, stabbing him with the pole in the neck to kill him. Assuming the pole is long, i swing it around my head at the zombies focusing on me (these probably being few) while carrying the little girl in my other arm and sprinting for the safe room. I knock over things like trashcans with my pole on the way to hinder the zombies' progress. Did i make it?

3. Assuming i don't know this person very well, i run off without him, sprintign for the helicopter, he follows me close behind, i notice the zombies are gaining on us and realise this whole thing would be a waste if none of us got out of here, i yell ''FOR HUMANITY!!'' and shoot him in the head to give him a painless death, leaving him to the zombies i run to the helicopter. Did i get rescued?

So? what do you think?

B, your weapons choices are good but in the first situation even though the zombies are coming in a manageable number (at a time) you are under estimating the sheer power in numbers they have and how long it would take to kill them also knowing you I think you should realise how screwed you8 are against L4D zombies by yourself and a injured five year old girl that lost you a good number of points, also shooting the person in the head if he is making it could lead the pilot to not trusting you.

I understand completely. However, did i not do the man a favour by shooting him? Still, pleased with my mark.

1. grab a axe and climb to the roof
2. baton bat myself out of there and grab the map (L4D2 zombies have fragile skulls)
3. kill some zombie,s and help my friend (assuming the sniper gives me backup fire)

1)there should be some propane tanks around somewhere, and there should be a second floor. Strap 5 tanks together, open valves, attach handheld blowtorch on bottom and throw out of the second story window and wait for the fireworks. After my explosion went off, i'd duct tape aluminium siding on my arms, legs and neck, leaving my joints open for maneuverability. Put on goggles, the toughest pair of gloves I could find, make a makeshift shield out of metal, then grab a hatchet and go braveheart on their asses.

2)Have the police officer give me his baton and carry the little girl, with my frying pan and baton, I'd tell the police officer to haul ass to the safe house, while right behind them fending off zombies as much as possible(not worried about zombie bites considering i am immune, or else id be a zombie in the l4d world.) I would continue with the 2 unless the shit gets real, and I'd give the police officer the frying pan and tell him to continue on and save the little girl, yes very heroic aren't I?

3)Simple, cut back, pull my friend back up while cutting up the fastest zombies with my pistol and haul ass to the helicopter. Providing my friend isn't hurt of course.

EDIT 600th post!!

C, not well thought out plans

B-, while your plans are thought out your heroics will get you killed
