How useful would you be in a zombie apocalypse?

Postby Viazon » Aug 04, '14, 10:58 am

How handy do you think you would be in a zombie apocalypse? If you were in a group of survivors, what could you offer? What could you bring to the group to make it worthwhile for them to let you be in their group?

I don't know how well I would do when it comes to dispatching and killing zombies. However, I do work in a huge warehouse which stocks medical and pharmaceutical supplies. I could lead a group of survivors to a huge building full of medicine and other kind of medical equipment that I'm sure would come in handy. Also, this building is surrounded by a fence and a big security gate. That should be enough to keep the zombies out. The warehouse could be a safe place to make into a home and it has plenty of office rooms which could be made into makeshift bedrooms.

How about you guys?

I'd be alright. I'd go to the Winchester, have a pint and wait for it all to blow over.

I probably be ok with the zombies once I had a gun (which I could get), but really bad with the apocalypse part. I'd be one of the people who wanted to bring everyone along and gets the group screwed over. The thing is, I know this, and I'd still do it.

I would probably be reliable but hesitant to trust many people. Only those who I know or who I have been with for a long time and have had a chance to observe. When the shit goes down, true colors show and I won't forget that.

I am pretty athletic and I know my way around guns and other weapons, I would probably be good for retrieval of supplies/rations, but I would either operate completely my way or completely to someone else direction. I work best with small teams, so if you start bringing more and more people into the group opinions get meddled and things get unfair and I would have trouble dealing with that. I can be around people, I just won't work with them all.

I'm bilingual.

I realize that this may be worthless to some of you but hear me out...

I live in an area full of mostly Hispanics. A good number of which speak only Spanish. With that in mind, I could easily rally up more Spanish speakers to join a group. Bilingual broadcast announcements could help others locate our/my location.

It truly is a small role to play, more so if there are other bilinguals. But that's what I've got to offer. Other than that, I'm an average young man so building, hunting & killing is mostly a given.

Seeing as I've just shat myself playing The Last of Us and had to come on here to get away from the terrifying clickers I'd probably be next to useless.

First thing I am doing is finding @prophet and taunting him with all our Merican guns. :D
Seriously though I would last a while. I am very resourceful and know my area very well.

That funny what it the zombies invade the pub you staying in then what would you do then.

For me I most likely die within a week or so. Since I do have knee problems which preventing me to run fast if need be so I most likely be zombie food if I had to stop for rest. LOL

Just hope there is a lot of vehicles that I can use so I can stay safe and drive away with out running.

My personal favourite bit is when they batter the zombies with pool cues to Queen's Don't Stop Me Now. That shit is gold. :D

This is why I've always thought they should set a zombie game in Ireland. It'd make things so much more interesting (and creepy) if you had to deal with this shit in a world without guns.

As for how useful I'd be in a zombie outbreak, I don't really know. A lot of my skills don't really translate that well to a post-apocalypse scenario. :lol I'm a healthy amount of paranoid though, so I'd be good for looking out for myself in a group dynamic. And I used to be really good at Manhunt as a child, if that counts. :P

I'd probably just take the Bill Murray route and dress myself up like a zombie and go on with my life. I'd be useless to anybody else, but I think I'd have a fun time myself.

I have actually put some thought into this as much as I would love to say I survive... in truth I know I would be killed easily and likely only be a great bait/ distraction along the way.
