Author Topic: Where would your 'Alamo' be in a zombie outbreak?  (Read 6430 times)

I would stay away from any kind of large retail store or shopping center, because that is where everyone is going to be going, likewise military installations (And police stations, hospitals, etc.) while seemingly a good place to go will quickly be overrun by infected trying to get help before they die.
It would be much better to stay mobile in sparsely populated areas raiding housing areas for supplies, as soon as you make a permanent settlement you are just asking to be overrun and killed.
Although with no safe place to sleep you will eventually get tired and die anyways yay!

Also 'Alamo'?
You do know that nearly everyone defending died at the Alamo right? There were only two survivors. I think we would prefere to live.

an Off-Shore Oil Rig
Good luck getting to me you stupid zombies, you can't climb.

I'd definitely go around the ocean in a boat. After all, zombies are too stupid to climb and too stupid to drive.

Good luck staying warm, getting supplies, and getting food and water.

If I had a large group I'd pick the oil rig.
Smaller groups I'd either travel or defend a store of some sort.

I'd choose a sailing schooner simply because your oil tanker will run out of gas or experience some kind of technical problem you won't be able to fix or replace making it useless to power. Or bring a lot of people and a lot of bicycles. lol

I would choose my house because my dad has a few shotguns

 Island house, food and fresh water. No zombies, and all the testicle tattoos you want.

Well the reason I called it tha Alamo was for the reason you stated, barely many people lived and say what you want but the majority of us would die in the event of a zombie ridden world. And honestly even though there are many places to go there are even more flaws to them. I mean here would be some of the flaws to the places I stayed:

Mobile: you would either run out of people or resources or maybe even get killed by other survivors or goverment if they climp out of their bunkers.
Building: either you will run out of resources or you will have so many zombies around that you are over run.
Oil rig: something breaks or run out of gas, purifiers, bait ect.
Boat: crash, something breaks, someone gets sick, you run into an area without fish to eat ect.
Island: raiders find it and take over, you run out of resources, or the zombies find a way to get to it.

As you can see so many things can go wrong that it would be a small chance you would make it through the mess. That, my friends, is why I call it the Alamo, many people start off thinking they will make it when more and more enemys show up. Leading to a long and growing doom you face, however like the people that got out some may live through the nightmere of a zombie apocolypse.

   I'd go to the closest, and empty-est as possible mall, they are very close to a Wal-Mart, but have more supplies, and tend to have cars inside the building that they use for contests and whatnot. It would be better to have a car already inside than having to run to  a car outside, through zombie-infested territory. There is one problem though, so many people are at malls, it will be almost impossible to find a non-fombie-infested one.


Entertainment- Now some people might think why entertainment, if your in a group you will need something to take your mind off of the hell your currently in.

Entertainment also because after sitting in a place for lets say 3 months. Doing NOTHING but watching your back, you can drive yourself insane.


What?  Bass Pro shop is vulnerable to attacks.  They have no automatic guns too?
I agree bass pro shop wouldn't work out very well however i don't think an automatic weapon would be a good idea. For example if you had a .22 rifle or a 9mm uzi you would most likely run out of ammo faster with the uzi and get less kills than the .22; because its more tempting to go and spray the attacking zombies than pace yourself and go for headshots...since the idea of zombies is that you only kill them my destroying the brain, not spraying them down.

mainly beacuse of their large quantities of shotguns, and other hunting rifles and equipment. they also have a large surplus of off-road vehicles, out-door gear, stuff to hunt and catch food, etc. i wouldn't exactly choose that place as my "alamo", but thats where i would start.

also have good fudge, too :D

I read a book called "The Zombie Survival Guide" it says the best place to be is on an oil rig.

Until they learn to swim...

They are zombies caused by disease. They're brains stop working but thier body still works... It can't learn anything...
