but there is one elite force out there that has been preparing for this day. yes ladies and gentleman Judgment day. the day the dead walk the earth and society is thrown into a post apocalyptic wasteland of kill or be killed. or the P.A.W. as the seasoned professionals at zombie squad forum like to call it.
so in an effort to bring TL.net up to par in the case of an event involving Zombies/Nukes/Zombies with nukes i have decided to put together this guide for the hopes that maybe just maybe TL.net will be able to stand strong in the faces of slowly stumbling and shuffling doom.
after you have extensively filled your mind with vital zombie knowledge. its time to move on to important Questions of survival and what to do.
Build your BOB (Bug out bag) you will need lots of supplys. in the event your neighbors are trying to eat you it makes going to wal-mart for toilet paper exceedingly difficult.
WEAPONS Arm yourself! to the teeth. like an absurdly large amount of weaponry. dont forget ammunition. stockpile that shit. the people at Zombie squad have already declared ammunition the new form of PAW currency.
And most important of all is a properly fortified shelter. now there are 2 routes to go here. some of the more wealthier members of ZombieSquad take the route of buying Pre made survival retreats of course not all of us have that kind of money to invest many people just build up there current home into a zombie proof fortification that is constantly being upgraded with the latest zombie thwarting technology.
SO.. Now you are Prepared for any and all zombie scenarios. what do you do now? you can start by joining your localneighborhood zombie watch
yes. they are out there. and from the looks of just this 1 forum there are alot of them. And they have a ludicrous amount of Firepower stocked in their "zombie fortresses" And they Cant fucking hardly wait for the zombie invasion to begin so they can start running around blowing heads off.
Haha, this is hilarious. I was just having a conversation with my roomates last night about how to zombie proof our house after watching Shaun of the Dead.
Oh jeez. I can understand wanting to exploit the fear of others to make money. Hell, I'd do it if I were smarter. But zombies? I just can't see that working. I mean it just makes no sense. Now nano bots. That would be a real worry. And you could have drapes that keep them out and acid spray to burn them out of the air. Oh, and you'd actually have to breathe special air so you don't accidentally inhale them. So I'd warn people to stock up on my air which was sealed before the day of nanobot vengeance. That'd be a business. Zombies, you just sell people shotguns. Nanobots, you can sell them air.
Thanks for the link though, had a fun 15 min browsing through that shit haha. Awsome guns and hideouts tbh. Now they just need some pics of the Zombie Mobile.
at first I thought it was a game, like I had some sort of objective...
Anyway, about this thread: I went on a vacation to Ithaca, New York once (or nearby, I don't remember) and there was a guy there who was staying in the same place as my friend and I... and he was constantly thinking / preparing for a Zombie attack. Funny stuff because he wasn't creepy about it, just serious. It was fun, to play along actually.
It's really sad how much time people spend developing these ideas considering they all suck so bad at it. It only took me a couple of minutes to come up with the ideal zombie counter: Suit of armor? Hello? Zombies have to bite you to kill you, and they can not bite through mail. Suit of armor + Sword = 10,000 dead zombies.

wheres the fun in that , fortified home and sniping from the roof sounds much more fun :D
oh my god the weapons thread is sick. some guy has like, 30 guns, 40 knives? even if zombies ARE coming, I dont think 30 guns and 40 knives will help you. A gun, lots of amo, and a metal pipe is all I need.

No way dude. Considering how slow and weak zombies are, there are going to be a lot of uninfected people. 30 guns and 40 knives is enough to arm a small militia. 20,000 zombies dead, Zulu style.
I'm surprised noone's said flamethrower... AoE + Splash, you'd basically be unapproachable. It's like, firebats, with longer range. Guns are secondary weapons, best to have hollowpoint bullets I guess.

zombies all round you, you with a sword, swinging away... fuck that would be so fun.
the people on that forum stocking up on 12 guns, 32 knives, survival kits etc, to fight zombies in the near future... have failed at life.

if i see a bunch of pussy resident evil zombies i wont even care, ill go inside and play video games.
im thinking the zombies from that one movie.. 30 days or whatever i forget what its called. resident evil zombies.. pshhh
obviously a a flamethrower is the best option in a realistic sense, I'd think. a sword is not going to do that much good. sure you can chop of legs or something but they'll keep coming til you chop off all the limbs. and then your arm would get really tired. lots easier to just pull a trigger.
why the hell couldnt i get something like this for christmas... All i got were those damn nerf guns.. They just dont hurt bad enough Aint that right Coagulation Lmfao.
Yes clearly a flamethrower is the best option for killing someting that has already been killed.
OR
You could transform into a fucking bear. Maul the shit out of them. I mean, if we are going to fantasize about a world in which zombies exist and have some completely fabricated (by horror movies) intent on causing us harm (if I came back from the dead I would be on a 24 hour sex hunt. I would not have the strange desire to eat someone's large intestine) I would contend it is equally possible to transform into bearform.
a bear wtf. if u are a bear i will just shoot u once and u die.
However, as long as we are spouting off random bullshit, I would turn my skin into metal, and cary around an anti zombie spray that kills all zombies within a 25 mile radius just incase my metal skin doesnt work quite like I planned. Then I would have sex with jessica alba and natalie portman. At the same time.
I'm sorry but flamethrowers have to be the stupidest weapon to use on zombies. The only thing worse than going toe to toe with a mob of zombies is going toe to toe with a mob of blazing zombies. It's bulky, it probably weights a lot, and you'll probably get a few minutes out of it before it runs out of juice.

Whatever your spray has no effect on my and a bear would love to play with a shiny hard skinned toy like yourself. Than I would eat Alba and Portman for being horrible actresses.
Flamethrowers and swords would be teh suck vs zombies... You must remember that there's THOUSANDS of zombies to fight... You'd get tired wielding a sword, and a flamethrower wouldn't kill them
It's more fun to speculate what you would do in your current situation if you suddenly came to the realization that zombies were about.
Looking around my room right now, the best weapon I'd have immediately at my disposal is my guitar and I sure as hell wouldn't start swinging my baby around as a plan A.
Man, it's times like this that I think I should take up cricket. Cricket bats are fucking awesome zombie weapons. Anything blunt with weight behind it is perfect. All you need to do is destroy the brain, so skull crush away!
a sword wielding gundam that shoots missles with embedded gernades that explode and create a firestorm. underneath that gundam metal mail suit is a FUCKEN BEAR!! RWAR!!!

I would use a baseball bat or fireplace poker. Maybee a large kitchen knife if they are the slow kind, but like I said if they are the slow kind I wont even be worried. I will just keep my dog inside so he wont get bitten.

i got one. this thing would mow every damn zombie down. i would travel around to every wendys around and buy all the double melts while smashin zombies. ill have to install rocket boosters though..
edit: i just realized that i would have to drive it backwards...scratch that.
FUCK YES!
on a more serious note: i think it would be more realistic to use something like an axe or a bio implanted paintball gun with laser sight and an optional bayonet that shoots anti-zombie jello into all the zombies i stick it into.

Depends on what kind of zombies they are... art they fast and agile like in dawn of the dead, or slow like in (umm) every other zombie movie or are they diffrent kind, like super fast hauling zombies like in hl2...
My wife has a very serious fear of zombies. I have yet to capitalize on this fact, for fear for my own life if I actually shoke her foundation too hard. We don't have any real weapons in our house, but she's watched me knife them mofo's down on RE3, so perhaps that might have a major impact on her weapon choices.
She can't watch Zombie movies, but the horror genre in general has been bothering her lately.

that was night of the living dead, the granddaddy of all zombie movies
this is all assuming zombies are slow, unresponsive dumbasses.
what if a zombie outbreak occurred that changed people into super smart heat seeking acid shooting motherfuckers with giant claws and a particle beam cannon on their backs. what good will a bear do then?
Hi, I'm not actually a member of Zombie Squad, just a member of their forum.
The people at Zombie Squad don't actually believe in zombies. It is really a disaster preparedness/survivalist site that uses a zombie theme to keep things fun and interesting. The money they raise doesn't go into their pockets but to charity and to keep the website up. They organize many events, such as Zombie Movie Nights, to raise money for charity and help promote disaster preparedness. If you're not into zombies, you can check out the American Red Cross website for more information on getting prepared for realistic disasters.

I'd like to second what Quazi said- we do not believe that zombies exist. My personal standpoint- that anything can exist until proven that it can't- is an attitude that many would do well to keep in mind- specifically if any of you have any desire to make anything even slightly easier for mankind in the long run. Regarding zombies, though, take the entire situation into consideration before you make any claims to our sanity. Such a thing would cover: Social breakdown. Loss of power. Loss of running water. Loss of communications. Collapsing infrastructure. Riots. Quarantine of hazardous agent, and survival in that quarantine zone if you weren't able to escape. The list goes on.
I'm digressing, though- back on topic. Before you actually attempt to judge Zombie Squad, please take a look at the other functions we perform. Contingency planning for any given situation. Charity relief and fundraisers. A relaxed, open atmosphere, so long as you follow the handful of rules in effect.
As for whoever claims that it's a "bad thing" that our forum member- whom I'll elect to leave anonymous- is introducing his child to firearms at a young age, please keep this in mind. Would you trust someone who has had no firearms experience with a handgun, or someone who's been instructed in its proper use all their life? (No, first-person shooters do not count as firearms experience.)
If you visit our site objectively, and stop forming preconceived notions about our members and our function, you may find yourselves learning something. Hell, I'm one of the friendlier members on there most of the time, but I'm also extremely loyal to anything I agree with- and extremely territorial as a result. Contingency planning = good in my book. Zombie Squad = contingency planning organization. Therefore, ZS = good in my book.

actually thats really inefficient. since a dozen armed vehicles and specters/apaches should take out thousands. Couple hundred can be dealt with 40 or so men who are well armed and can hold a position.

Lots of paranoid maniacs with 10 semi automatic rifles and hand grenades = bad in my book.
contingency plan, what about planning for a more realistic scenario like "my wife hates me because ive spent all our savings in a bunker", or "omfg my child grabbed my desert eagle and shot his little sister!".
Zombies or not most of those guys clearly suffer from slight to severe paranoia... its scary they are heavily armed.

I have seen neither the paranoia nor the mania to which you are referring. Please give the basis for your diagnosis. If you know of anyone on the site owning hand grenades please enlighten us about that as well. The site is very clear about not allowing the discussion of illegal activities and will quickly ban individuals that post on such.
contingency plan, what about planning for a more realistic scenario like "my wife hates me because ive spent all our savings in a bunker", or "omfg my child grabbed my desert eagle and shot his little sister!".
As to planning on a more realistic scenario, many of the discussions are on disasters far short of zombies. There are discussions of terrorist attacks, trains carrying toxic chemicals derailment, civil strife, and the mundane such as a mugging. Try not to worry about people’s marriages. There are many wives who are members and people that would spend their life savings on a bomb shelter are probably the same ones that would have spent their life savings on that uber character on eBay anyway. By allowing children at an early age to see that a firearm is just a tool and that there is nothing mystifying about it the children will not have the strong desire to play with them. It is called being a responsible parent.
Zombies or not most of those guys clearly suffer from slight to severe paranoia... its scary they are heavily armed.
Again I don’t see why you are making a diagnosis from reading a post but I am sure you have more than my BS in psychology so you are much better prepared to make such a judgment.
how does it make you feel every time you turn on the news and hear about some kid that blew their head off cause they were fucking with their dad's gun? makes me sick.
Why do you guys spend all this money/energy on preparing for the world to go to shit Why not spend that money/energy on raising the quality of the world.
why make bomb shelters when there are Homeless
Why stock food when there are hungry people everywhere.
it's time to end this inter-forum hostility. zombiehunters would be a powerful ally in a PAW scenario. With their brute strength and our strategical knowledge we can be an invincible force. this potential must not be overlooked

Yes that a parent would bring a weapon into the house and not train everyone there is sickening. Here is link on the matter If a person owns a firearm they must be responsible, it really is that simple. I am much more comfortable with a person being around firearms everyday and taught their safe use than having loaded and unsecured firearms sitting where the children or their friends will find them.

We do. ZS is a charity organization and we have fund raisers as well as blood drives and canned food drives across America and in Canada. Many of the members are volunteers for the Red Cross and other organizations that dedicate themselves to helping after disaster strikes.

I store food for when an event occurs and I need food. This can be as simple as a winter storm cutting off power for days or a flood destroying the surrounding area. An earthquake could occur or simply having a number or tornados. The time to prepare is before an event. The site is dedicated to disaster preparedness and a large part of that is having the food and water necessary for survival. If one is uncomfortable carrying a large camo bag then there are many companies that sell the same basic needs equipment including the American Red Cross.

I think the word you want is paranoid. It don't think it will affect you in any way but the individual in question spends a lot of time at the range and in the post mentioned that he went ahead and bought a year's worth of ammo. He did not buy ammo for zombies but for pieces of paper that are several yards away in front of a berm. Some people relax by shooting digital weapons at digital people, some do so by shooting real weapons at paper. To each his or her own.

From the website you posted: "American Academy of Pediatrics has concluded that the most effective way to prevent firearm-related deaths and injuries to children and adolescents is to remove guns from their homes and communities. It makes no sense to keep a gun at home for "protection," if that same gun puts your family members or visitors at risk."
"Common Sense about Kids and Guns believes that all adults have a responsibility to assure that no child or teen in their home ever encounters a loaded or improperly secured firearm. The decision to have a firearm in your home comes with an enormous responsibility."
I do not see anything indicating you should be teaching young kids how to use/handle a gun (although i haven't looked at the whole website, so I may be wrong).
I don't have any problem with parents who want to take there kids hunting (although there is risk with this like every sport or activity). The thing with the picture of the girl holding the gun is its giving her the image of guns being cool. The problem with that is now she may be tempted to show her friends when her parents aren't around. Now hopefuly the guns are safetly locked away and unloaded but I still can see this possible leading to a terrible accident.
But seriously though. Its like fly paper for zombies. We lay it out in a large field somewhere and lure the zombies there with a big jar full of brains. When the zombies get stuck to the paper all we have to do is nuke the field or cage them and sell them off to zoos.

It makes no sense to keep a gun at home for "protection," if that same gun puts your family members or visitors at risk."
"Common Sense about Kids and Guns believes that all adults have a responsibility to assure that no child or teen in their home ever encounters a loaded or improperly secured firearm. The decision to have a firearm in your home comes with an enormous responsibility."
I do not see anything indicating you should be teaching young kids how to use/handle a gun (although i haven't looked at the whole website, so I may be wrong).
I don't have any problem with parents who want to take there kids hunting (although there is risk with this like every sport or activity). The thing with the picture of the girl holding the gun is its giving her the image of guns being cool.

Well it would have been selfserving to use a site like the NRA. They had pages on if you own a gun how to store it. This one. As they said in the part you quoted it is the responsibility of the parent to be responsible.
Actually it is not the children that are exposed the guns daily that hurt themselves as much as the neighbor or the child that is never around the guns. Children are given the image that guns are cool on television, movies, and those oh so cool video games. Having a responsible adult telling them about how to be safe can make anything uncool.
I only know that girls father from the forum but in my private conversations with him I believe he is a dedicated father and I know he takes great effort to teach his daughter gun safety, after all he is a ranger master and instructor.
