akiliMVP Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 [quote name='Tigris' timestamp='1341785374' post='1138255'] Did you watch Walking Dead? Those zombies can move a distance. I wouldn't feel comfortable without a barrier. You can be self-sustaining on an island as long as you don't grasshopper around. Farm for three seasons and shelter the fourth. You could always boat to land and go out on searches for anything you don't have and anything you may want. I'm not talking a 25 yard island either... I'd think something a 2-4 miles wide and thick would be ideal. Well, I guess that would be pending how much people are there with you. [/quote] I'd definitely pick a farm with fencing. Would put another barrier around the house also. I think deep trenches would be effective. Have to steal a backhoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akiliMVP Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 [quote name='Tigris' timestamp='1341785567' post='1138258'] And say it started... who would be the most valuable people? Medical? The hunter? An athlete? I would guess if you had one of each out there it would suffice. Your athlete would be your laborer and your runner/scout, the medical would medicate of course, and your hunter would feed you. Any other must haves or close to must haves? [/quote] I'd want someone extremely mechanically inclined. Like an engineer or something. Someone to keep up with car problems and jerry rigging shit to work in the house, building shit, etc. You don't have to be a hunter to kill zombies, they pretty much come to you and are slow moving. Anyone can be taught to shot, especially with a rifle or shotgun. Who would your dream team be? Make it 5 people, 2 celebrities, 1 pro athlete, 2 wild cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You could make a moat... that would be an island as well as staying inland. Use a draw bridge to get in/out. Hopefully you'll have time to build yourself up before anything attacks. One thing I'm worried about is birds.... no matter what kind of force you have, those little suckers could fly above you, take a shit somewhere on your farm/island, and infect your entire place.

Tigris Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Maybe we can trade women if we ever meet up. Yours may be hot now, but in a while, she'll be old news. You'll be salivating over some strange... Octomom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eva4ben-gal Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 You guys are taking completely the wrong approach. Your tough guys like Jared Allen are going to take the ONE chick you brought along and you will be their bitch. Keep that top shot chick, add Eva Longoria and Hope Solo, another one to cook delicious food, and one like Danica Patrick that may know a thing or two about mechanical stuff, now you are king with a nice little harem as long as you can avoid a mutiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 [b] [size=6]KRTV's Emergency Alert System Hacked To Warn Of Fake Zombie Apocalypse (VIDEO)[/size][/b] The zombie apocalypse hasn't happened yet, but a few thousand people in Great Falls, Mont., are to be forgiven if they thought it was. On Monday, the emergency alert system at [url="http://www.krtv.com/"]KRTV-TV[/url] in Great Falls was hacked during the "The Steve Wilkos Show" to send out a message that "dead bodies are rising from their graves" in several counties. The warning also told those watching [url="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2013/02/someone-just-hacked-an-emergency-tv-system-to-tell-people-zombies-were-happening/"]not to try and apprehend the dangerous individuals,[/url] only to get to shelter and stay safe, Gizmodo.au reported. Just in case you didn't know, there wasn't actually a zombie outbreak. Nevertheless, KRTV-TV felt obliged to let viewers know both on the air and online that [url="http://www.krtv.com/news/bogus-emergency-alert-message-transmitted/"]the earlier report of zombies rising out of their graves was not accurate.[/url] "This message did not originate from KRTV, and there is no emergency," the station explained. "Our engineers are investigating to determine what happened and if it affected other media outlets." So far, [url="http://gawker.com/5983516/montana-tv-stations-emergency-alert-system-hacked-warns-of-zombie-apocalypse"]no one has been able to figure out who did the hacking[/url] or if it was some kind of viral marketing for the AMC series, "The Walking Dead," Gawker reported.

Bengals1181 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I've always felt on The Walking Dead they were incredibly lacking in securing a home against Zombies. Given that the zombies don't do any thinking and don't try to open doors or break windows, etc... It should be relatively easy to find a place, secure and fortify it.

[/quote] They have the prison now. I guess there's a non-secured place in the back of it (per one of the new characters - black dude who looks like that street fighter guy). If you ever got a place like the prison, you would think you're golden for a while, right? They seem to have so much freaking trouble. As slow and immobile as those zombies are, if you were ever cornered by one, you probably need to be bit because you weren't mean to survive.
