So I just finished reading some threads on another forum about what to in a Zombie Apocalypse. We talked about it a bit in the URT thread so I decided it needs its own dedicated thread... so we are ready for when it occurs.
My plan would be to go to a prison or nuclear powered aircraft carrier. Some people argue for a cruise liner over aircraft carrier but I think the weapons on an aircraft carrier are to valuable. Staying in a prison would have to depend on the type of zombies. If they are the slow *uuurgh must eat brain* type then I think it could work. However, if it is the super smart kind it wouldn't be any good. I know for sure I would be staying away from shopping markets/malls. Lots of supplies but shitty security.
I think the aircraft carrier is probably a bad idea due to time to get supplies (food,etc.) once you run out/get low. Where would you port? You'd be going somewhere you're not familiar with (as far as zombie population).
Personally I'd probably wind up a zombie since I'm not too strong and don't own any weapons beyond some steak knives. Lol.
I'll be honest, I find the idea of a Zombie Apocalypse so damn. I mean, think about it. They're not super mutants, or evolved humans. They're rotting, slow, breakable, stupid zombies without even the ability to climb a ladder (Damn you, dawn of the dead!).
I have a headache right now, so I can't go on about this. If you want to know more, just look up Cracked.com's article(s) on the issue(s) about a Zombie Apocalypse. Personally, I'll be on an ocean oil rig why you're all freaking out in the middle of a park.
EDIT: I will say ONE thing, though. Biting/clawing isn't a very good way to spread a disease/infection. Granted, the human mouth is one dirty son of a bitch, but teeth themselves aren't infected needles. They don't inject anything upon entering the blood stream. Same with finger nails.

This cracked me up in the office. ;P Why did the last 2 posters want to be zombies? I started considering it myself actually since it would be an interesting existence. What if there were a few zombies of the Albert Wesker variety? I know he's not a zomber per se but that would change the status quo a lot.
Aircraft carrier does sound good actually. You'd need some help manning it though. Care to take me onboard? I have military training. =)

Ha ha..not that I want to become a zombie. I'd probably try to leave town in my car, but wind up in traffic like you see on the cover of Walking Dead season 1.
Another thing that has always baffled me about zombie apocalypse movies.... if humans are the food source for zombies, why do most zombies only have like 1 little bite out of them? If they were supposed to be food...wouldn't they be devoured basically?

I think the idea is that they were bit but escaped, then turned.
*TV is on the News with the hot anchor woman telling us that Zombies are rampaging.*
*Sigh...* Let me go fire up the grill. I'll go until medium-rare. Honey! Could you bring out a bowl of fresh blood, preferably virgin blood so I can baste myself before I get on the grill?

Heck even if you take it seriously like some people do zombies will die in a month or so purely because they aren't feeding and muscles etc will decay.

They don't need food, they are undead!
That's where you are wrong. Their muscles are still moving, living parts of the body. They're still going to need nutrients ect. to survive. Otherwise, their bodies will just collapse and rot.
Schools might be an option. They generally have some good security for keeping delinquents out over the weekends. School tuck shop for food. Big open areas could be a problem though.
I will say ONE thing, though. Biting/clawing isn't a very good way to spread a disease/infection. Granted, the human mouth is one dirty son of a bitch, but teeth themselves aren't infected needles. They don't inject anything upon entering the blood stream. Same with finger nails.
It would depend on how virulent it is. For some viruses and diseases a scratch or bite may not be significant. But most sources of zombie lore agree just how highly contagious the disease is.
The zombie apocalypse is at hand, "Change, Change, Got any change"
Zombie stuff is conditioning people to be good lil psychopaths resilient to screwing over our fellow man.

Naah, schools have too man entrances and windows at groundlevel. You need a place that allows you to point all your firepower in as few directions as possible.
Dunno what schools your used to but ours are prisons without watchtowers, 10 foot solid fences all round, barred windows, completely gated and only actually a couple entrances in most buildings.
What you really want is buildings you are able to climb with reasonable ease with fire escapes and blockable stairways.
Our schools even let you get up on the roof.

Just a little sidenote, I hate it when you people quote someone entirely just to respond to one of their sentences. So fucking lazy. See how I excluded the parts I'm not replying to here?
If someone was eaten slowly enough to be infected as they were bit, then of course they would die while being eaten. So as they're being eaten, they would turn into a zombie and zombies don't eat other zombies.
And what kind of zombies are we dealing with here? Shaun of the Dead, Dawn of the dead, 28 days later, Zombieland? If the slow kind, no sweat, i can run.
That is a very important factor to consider ShoXz. Dawn of the dead style probably wouldn't cause much trouble. However, the 28 days later "smart" style zombies could be a serious threat.
How about a well mixed variant caused by different strains of a virus. The slow zombies could have an early version of the virus and the newest ones could have a virus that has mutated to a super virus that allows strategic thought functions and better motor skills and we can have it so that the stronger viruses can override the more primitive virus that was in a fresh host (ex. still living). Let's say one of the slower zombies manages to bite somebody on the ankle, but was promptly dispatched. And then that same person suddenly gets ambushed by a small group of two or three zombies and gets bit. They make it out of there, all the while succumbing to the viral infection. When they finally turn they would be the faster, more advanced zombie. This allows the virus to get better not worse.
Should I baste myself in hickory barbecue as well?

What about you guys?
If you skip the maths bit of this http://mysite.science.uottawa.ca/rsmith43/Zombies.pdf its gives an interesting insight.

Why would we skip the maths? Although I did have a hard time following the model with quarantine...

I just assumed the mathematical models would be boring for most people and that few posters would understand them :(.
