So, in 9 minutes it will be the supposed day of the rapture. I hope that it happens, not because I am religious and am looking for salvation, but because I have been training my entire life for a zombie invasion.
I have an elaborate plan to move supplies and people onto a boat. From there, we will be heading for Bear Island off the coast of North Carolina. If you want to join our group, I encourage you to seek us out. Bring as much water, food, and gas as you can. Weapons will be provided upon arrival if you need one.
I think it is important that we share our plans just in case. It makes sense to organize NOW before shit starts going down and we still have the internet to communicate.
If you have similar plans in place, please share them here so that others may join up if they desperately need to.
Good luck, everyone.
Edit: It seems we have until 6:00 pm. That should give everyone enough time to plan ahead.
Well I'm on the west coast, so we'll be headin' east I'll try and meet you there. We have a ammunition stash at our house currently. We'll be picking up as much as we can on our way. There will be able 5-6 other people to start off with, hope to see you soon.
I guess I'll be asleep when it begins. I hope there's not a lot of customers at the store tomorrow at work, though. Seeing as how they'll all be dead. Or maybe we'll have zombie shoppers.
The primary passage used to support the idea of the Rapture is 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, in which Paul cites "the word of the Lord" about the return of Jesus to gather his saints.
... and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.1 Thess 4

That is by and far the oddest interpretation of that passage I've ever heard.
I mean, I've read it, I've heard it. Re-reading it, I still struggle to see how someone can see it as that. It seems like quite a stretch (Though all religion is a stretch)

They are. But some crazy people decided to radically interpret the text and here we are now. This happens every decade or so. The mormon's have a patent.

This has happened many, many times before. Through whatever mystical means, people decided that 5/21/11 would be the day of Rapture. Give it two or three weeks and it'll blow over until the next scare. That and there's nothing else to sensationalize on the news while they wait for more bin-Laden information to get out.
This thread is suppose to be a joke right? :D. How can people prepare for this nonsense instead of doing others things...like playing SC2 is beyond me, lol.
Wikipedia actually has a list of notable rapture predictions in the last 200 years:
* 1844 - William Miller predicted Christ would return between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844, then revised his prediction, claiming to have miscalculated Scripture, to October 22, 1844. The realization that the predictions were incorrect resulted in a Great Disappointment. Miller's theology gave rise to the Advent movement. The Baha'is believe that Christ did return as Miller predicted in 1844, with the advent of The Báb, and numerous Miller-like prophetic predictions from many religions are given in William Sears book, Thief in The Night.[57] * 1914[58], 1918[59], 1925[60], 1942[61] - Dates set for the end by the Jehovah's Witnesses * 1981 - Chuck Smith predicted that Jesus would probably return by 1981.[62] * 1988 - Publication of 88 Reasons why the Rapture is in 1988, by Edgar C. Whisenant. * 1989 - Publication of The final shout: Rapture report 1989, by Edgar Whisenant. More predictions by this author appeared for 1992, 1995, and other years. * 1992 - Korean group "Mission for the Coming Days" predicted October 28, 1992 as the date for the rapture.[63] * 1993 - Seven years before the year 2000. The rapture would have to start to allow for seven years of the Tribulation before the Return in 2000. Multiple predictions. * 1994 - Pastor John Hinkle of Christ Church in Los Angeles predicted June 9, 1994. Radio evangelist Harold Camping predicted September 6, 1994.[64] * 2011 - Harold Camping's revised prediction has May 21, 2011 as the date of the rapture.[65][66] * 2060 - Sir Isaac Newton proposed, based upon his calculations using figures from the book of Daniel, that the Apocalypse could happen no earlier than 2060.[67][68]
Is it weird that I'm more afraid of a zombie infestation than some religious nonsense? Seriously I've had some scary as nightmares and I hope I don't have any when I sleep tonight =((( Maybe I just won't sleep at all...

THATS THE SPIRIT. Stay awake. Drink at LEAST a gallon of coffee (4L, I believe, for you normal people) and PLAN. Do NOT let yourself fall asleep, for thats when they will surley come.
Quick! Distract yourself from worrying about rapture by preparing for a different fictional crisis: ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! Starring Steven Seagal as Bick Manweed.

I don't think so. It's more logical that some kind of virus or alien contamination causes the undead to appear on the streets that some magical man in a robe descending in a blinding light from the clouds with trumpets in the background imo.
Would just like to let the world know, from +12GMT NZ, it's past 6:00pm (the supposed time of the rapture in each time zone), and um, yep didn't happen.

what? that is the most blasphemous thing i have ever read. science + religion LOL
Haven't you seen the most recent Resident Evil? They climbed the tower in Vegas you fool.
I'm sure this is just another fail apocalypse, but boy would it be cool if zombies were real just as it would be cool if pokemon were real.
Hm... The question is which Zombies will happen?
Because the classical oldschool ones can't climb, they're stupid, walk slowly and are stupid...
But all those new ones, jesus... They climb, they jump, they explode, they spit, THEY EVEN HAVE GUNS SOMETIMES!
I hope it's the older ones.
I am a lazy person i will admit that i probably wouldn't do well in the neo-zombie apocalypse. I prefer them struggeling to keep up when i go for a stroll through the wasteland.
Y'know, in view of this talk of Zombies. I think I might watch Zombieland. Any good? Any other zombie movies to sort of celebrate the paranoid moment of an incoming life-ending event?
is this for real?!? i saw this on the news this morning but not paying attention, and i thought they're just discussing Y2k since it was metioned by the news anchor and the tech bubble since linkein IPO. aren't we preparing for dec 21, 2012?
but yeah! zombies are cool! haha i'm a resident evil addict that's why! i wish i have shotgun, machine gun, and launcher when this happens lol

zombieland is not a good zombie movie for me. it's fun esp. the first to middel part, but towards the end, it's quite dragging. for me, the best are the land of the dead and dawn of the dead. i'm talking about the zombie movie where they were stuck inside a mall, that's dawn of the dead right? i like that. i imagine myself stuck in a mall with zombies... lol and of course, i'm hoping for dumb zombies like in re1 and re2 and not those ganados in re4 and re5! and pls. no people mutating into monster!
p.s. i am currently playing re2 (again) and just finished playing re1 2 weeks ago, so i'm so hyped on this zombie thing haha
I just woke up, the world ended yet? Mine may as well have, I killed the hardware in my computer 2 days ago. So I am playing on my piece of shit laptop
A zombie proof house wont help much in a zombie apocalypse. Soon as one realizes your in there it's gunna camp your ass. More will come as well. Then what? Your stuck in house quickly running out of food and water.
just for fun: i think i should start doing some gardening since it's spring now! i want to plant peas, wintermelon, sunflower, fumeshroom, cob corn, and little yellow mushroom, just in case - i think this would help me prepare to fight for zombies not not eat my brains lol
O, did I miss another rapture? Man, can't keep up anymore.
As for the zombie invasion... with all the brainless people in this world, we don't really need one. The tips on how to get rid of them are much appreciated, though. Well then, where is my shovel?
Head to your nearest bookstore. Purchase The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. In the even of a zombie apocalypse, your life will be saved. You can thank me later.
I have a Spear ay home and only a replica of the tanegashima as a firearm. I'll fight my way thru the waves of zombies at try to meet up with you at the Evac point -Blaster out
Bah, I'm in Jersey, and my only anti-zombie defense is a blunt sword and a couple of kitchen knives. But yeah, I'm up for the challenge. If I don't make it to the evac point in time, don't worry about me, I'll manage somehow.
Glad to see this topic being made as this is of grave importance and well affect us all. In Holland we say a prepared person counts for two, so it's excellent to see some initiative from the community and yes I'd be happy to join forces with fellow TL members. When the apocalypse does come about and I inadvertently have to kill my housemates, neighbours and several stray cats with my bare hands or possibly blunt objects I think I'll try to make it to Utrecht. It's central and HC, despite having multiple entrances, is big enough to provide shelter and provision for at least a week. After that I think trying to head for England might be a good idea as on an island a zombie crisis is more easily contained. As to weapons I unfortunately do not own a katana sword or baseballbat. However, I do have several worn out drum sticks and a shovel or two as well as some chainmails. Since everyone in Holland rides bikes fuel should not be a problem. I seems I posted just in time for the internet blackout. I hope to see many of you survive as we prepare for a TL-based take over of the new world. Stay strong brethren, see you soon.

lmfao
Well, so much for a rapture. I was teasing my devout christian friend lol It would have been cool to kill some zombies. No holding back. I don't have a gun though. I do have a sword > I really have no idea where I would go next tbh. Probably meet up with my friends and fight some zombies yeah!

Um, I remember something about this but I forgot so here goes: wouldn't the pressure kinda do something to the zombies?
Edit: Oops, double post, meant to edit the quote in my original post lol
I think its funny how supposedly after today we have 5 months of Christs rule in which we will be dealing with wars, anarchy, torment, etc... until Christ defeats Satan.
But considering in the bible it states that will be a 7 year war.
One crucial fact neglected from the long tradition of Zombie movies and the The walking dead comic series is that not Zombies but humans will become your worst enemy so always be beware of who joins your group.
For some reason at work i already feel it has started.... every monday morning everyone looks pale and its impossible to communicate with them. OH MY GOD IT STARTED!

In World War Z which is all about a zombie-pocalypse the author talks about swarms of them in the ocean. It's not so much that they can walk to the island, or anywhere specifically, but when there are millions of people that have died/risen in the water then the chances that some will eventually be washed to any given place are high.
Yeah WWZ says that, but they'll only follow you underwater if you're making enough noise or are big enough for them to see you. Also they do decompose a lot underwater after time, so when they do wash up on shore (after months/years) they won't be much of a threat as long as you don't decide to go swimming.
I live on Vancouver Island, in the event of zombies, I should have enough time to stock up on enough crucial supplies and sail over to one of the less populated and secluded islands.
Well, I technically have 20 minutes until the scheduled time. The crazy man did say 6pm est and it is currently 5:40 est.
Concerning the lack of lan comment someone made to my first post. With the lack of fear of banning from bnet, lan is a very easy thing to hack in if we have nothing better to do.

I have a tub of cottage cheese I think? In the fridge that moves.
I meant to post this earlier and forgot. I took this picture while driving down I-85 in Atlanta yesterday. I would feel pity on the guy, except it is just too damn funny.
A wild Zombie appeared! Zombie used Apocalypse! But it failed.
Even though the apocalypse doesn't seem to be happening quite yet you gotta applaud the creativity of the fanatics. Claiming that a Zombie Apocalypse is coming in a serious fashion deserves baller status just because it's such a hilarious thing to claim. Maybe next time the zombies will appear.

LOL I'm going to annihilate the zombies. I'm f'ing great at Night 2 Die in SC2, and I assume those skills would translate 100% to surviving a zombie apocalypse.
Alright, so here's my plan. Better get ready, this shit is going to get intense.
Right, so what is the first problem in a zombie invasion? Staying alive. Now, we all got the easy part down -- shotting fucking zombies. Mossberg 500, Colt .45, and a Machete or Axe will handle that just fine. But what about food? water?
Well at first signs, it is clear that the grocery stores will be packed out. So where do I go? The vet mother fucker. I'll get like 50 bags of fucking dog food. Know why? It has 100% of the shit you need to survive. Dogs LIVE off of that crap for their entire lives usually, so it has everything you need in terms of vitamins, proteins, etc. Also, it tastes like so much crap no one will go to steal YOUR food.
Now, escape plans. I live in South Florida, not an ideal place to be during an invasion. Where I'll go? To a harbor and acquire a boat. I know this part is not original for my location, but it is what I'm sticking too. Nab a boat any way possible and go out into the Gulf. Then go to a fucking Oil Rig.
I can guarantee that almost everyone, if not everyone there has left to go help their families. Know what's on an oil rig? Water purifiers. Enough food to last dozens of people almost a year. Imagine how long it can last under 6 people. That dog food will not be the only thing on the menu! It also has weather trackers on it, of course, for if a major storm is coming in. Can just move onto a sandbar or something more inland and wait for it to pass over and if the Oil Rig is destroyed somehow, we move onto another. Although unless it's like a Category 5, I dont see an issue there.
Along with multiple communication devices, a definite wireless internet, and security from bandits and zombies due to being in the middle of the fucking ocean and the possibility to also fish, I think I'd be set.

There's a greater chance of zombies than humans successfully predicting the rapture.

Oh yes, let me do what hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions will have going through their heads. Brilliant.
I live way out in the country in Hawaii... An electric road sign on my far-from-civilization road said "WARNING! ZOMBIES AHEAD!" just like in that picture that was going around the interwebs a few years ago. I've never seen anything that interent memeish around here (once I heard someone say "all your base" in the grocery store and stopped dead out of shock), and had a good laugh.
I believe there was a book related on how to defend yourself against Zombies. From gathering knowledge from that book, it said the most effective weapon for zombies is not guns, but a spade.
I can probably see the reason why, and that could be the fact that it has infinite uses; well at least until the spade loses durability.
Generally speaking, there are 3 types of "Zombies".
Type 1: The slow, clumsy, idiotic ones that are really only able to get you because they get a sorround on you or just zerg you with their numbers.
Type 2: The far more dangerous ones. The quick, fucking athletic, OP zombies that will outrun you unless you're a good runner. But they will (by definition) require no rest so they can run forever. Once you're running, you sure as hell better find somewhere to hide or something.
Type 3: The worst ones. The deformed ones, that have the attributes of the second type of zombies, but are also capable of scaling walls easily and come looking messed up with abilities like spewing harmful bio products and whatnot. This is mostly just movie based.
For arguament sake, let's keep this as "realistic" as possible. So type 1 and 2 are really the most realistic there is, should it ever occur.
My plan was taken from a movie, but altered. I forget what movie (and yes I realize movies are fake blah blah. Bear with me). There was a group living in an apartment building that sealed off the stair case with a gate. I thought this was briliiant. It allows a very low flow of zombies, and an easy domino effect. But, this wasn't utalized to full effect.
I thought why not cut off half the building by destroying about 2 floors worth of stair case. This completely cuts off any threat of zombie attack. The only downside is being starved out. This is where it comes to being prepared to deal with this. Finding a well located apartment is a must. Where stores are nearby, and hell even fishable water. Of course the stores are going to be ransacked by every by passing survivalist but they can only carry so much, and there's a LOT of food in large grocery stores.
So, a rope is required for in and out access. While in stores do not forget video games on portable devices as well as batterys for entertainment. Candles, flashlights. Vision is a resource . Get sport equipment. You'll have people there with you, and if you don't; Broadcast. Let people know you're there. Find as large a cloth as possible. Knit pieces together. Write that you're there. How to reach you. You have access to basically the whole top half of the building. Hang it. so people can see it. Once you have enough, clear a room and play some indoor sports. Keep yourself fit. What else can you be doing that's a permanent form of entertainment?
Keeping in mind, internet will be out, electricity will be out and a lot of technology like vehicles, automated weapons(guns), will be obsolete. A radio is usable if you're able to and others are able to catch it. Since radios are workable with batteries. Same with portable dvd players so you're not completely in the dark on lazy entertainment.
Anyways, that's just what I would be doing. Of course, if there was a weakness (Zombies can't be out in the day time, they're attracted to glowing lights, afraid of water, etc) I would take advantage to get what i need. That's something that goes with the situation.
Have you guys seen the cracked article about zombie invasions and why they will definitely not happen? Pretty funny--hilariously true. Seriously, there is no way a successful zombie invasion will occur :|

Actually that article only lists ways the a zombie apocalypse would eventually fail. The whole point of an outbreak is that it is fast and very hard to contain. Yes all the zombies would probably have died out or have been killed within 2 weeks to a month. But can you imagine 2 weeks where you fear that every person around you could be waiting to bite you and infect you? It would sure as hell fuck the world up a bit!
Although the one thing they did not mention is the one thing that I actually think would make a zombie apocalypse never happen. The fact that (in most cases), one zombie would start the whole cycle. Now lets say this zombie goes out and starts to eat someone. Now IMO two things could happen. Either the zombie would eat the person to the point of him not actually being able to do anything useful as a zombie. Or the guy would kill the zombie who is currently eating his arm of. Either way in both cases we went from having one zombie one zombie and one dead body. Not exactly the fastest way for a disease to spread!
Never fight zombies with fire. If there is one thing worse than a zombie chasing you trying to eat your brains.... its a zombie on fire chasing u and wanting to eat your brains.
You cant kill zombies, zombies are already dead, your only chance of escape is seriously maiming or dismembering.
Trust no-one. Even if they say "I am not a zombie" isn't that what a zombie would say in order to get closer to you?
Cut all emotional ties to your fellow man. Nothing is worse than falling in love with someone who then becomes a zombie and tries to eat your brain.
If you require social relationships, make sure your social/travel companion is slower than you. Sometimes you dont need to outrun zombies, only the person running next to you.
perhaps fpcon bravo for military bases had nothing to do with osama bin laden.. maybe it was prep for the potential rapture. anyway.. AFAIK, no zombies in Florida as of tonight.
