What would your chances for survival be?

http://www.newsandentertainment.com/zFzombiequiz.html

I got a Z+, which I think is a good score.

Discuss:

Zombies and what you would do if you woke up one day and your town was suddenly overrun with them.

I got an A. I think most of the trouble I had was with the specific questions about zombies. I knew what I believed to be the best answers, but I was trying to guess what the creator of the quiz had in mind. There are just so many different zombie mythologies to consider. I also don't have all that much technical knowledge about firearms.

The other thing is, I know that survival is the primary concern, but on the question about what to do regarding an injured friend, I chose to carry them and find a place to hide. I know it's dangerous and possibly counterproductive, but what's the point of surviving if you're giving up all of your compassion, all of your humanity? What are you surviving for if you're going to let a friend die over an injured leg, absent zombie infection? Is survival an acceptable long term goal if you're going to be the last man alive? Reasonable compassion is a quality that I believe would aide survival. Help the guy, fix his leg if you can. He may save your a** someday.

I like to think I'd be relatively prepared. I've read the Zombie Survival Guide. I know how they operate and act. I have a pretty good understanding of how they respond and know the Do's and Dont's in the field of dealing with them. My weapon of choice is a machete and shotgun. My biggest problem would be helping others if I could save them which would slow me down and make me a more likely victim. BTW, I read a good deal of books and comics, watch movies and play games on the subject. Heheheh! ninja

Oh, I forgot to mention, I got a Z+ as well, My only downer is my emotional involvement in things. I believe in the power of numbers perhaps irrationally in some cases. sweatdrop

I'd be screwed with living in England and having no gun shops.

I wonder how effective bows and arrows would be. They're not too difficult to fashion if you know how and have the right materials. Of course, no matter how effective they are, they'd only be safe to use from a distance, and preferably elevated.

I got a Z+. The quiz seems based on Max Brook's Zombie Survival guide. If my town were over run I'd grab a couple of my more functional swords and head for the nearest grocery store. Guns'll be there later, food will go bad and become increasingly scarce as people stock up on it. After stocking up on canned goods (and a can opener) I think I'd try the old barricade a mall trick.

Yeah, but you'd need to be an expert to get head shots with enough power to puncture skulls from a distance. Longbow maybe.

I got a Z+. I would only save my friends...everyone else I'm not worried about.  
PostPosted: Sun Aug 03, 2008 12:18 pm
i got a z+ too. seems i'm pretty numb when it comes to saving friends and family. they get attacked by a group of zombies, and they become zombies themselves. i will move on.
