Which type of character do you think you would you be in a zombie apocalypse?

The leader? The crazyhead? The coward? I think i would be one of those random nameless ones who is killed in the beginning. People never really consider this when talking about those things. They always assume they would be the Rick Grimes of the story, but when you think about it the odds to be what you would call a survivor are very small. If i did make it through the wave however and was still around when things settled i can see myself as someone who mostly tags along, not calling the shots or anything but rather just kinda being there.

The guy who is self sufficient and holed up in a compound. He trusts no one and thinks everyone is a zombie.

I think that would be me as well. We have emergency rations for a year and a bunch of guns.

I think being skeptic about people as much a possible is smart, naivity would be nothing but a weakness in such a world, assume everything and everyone is out after you and your close ones.

I’d be the hippie dude that always say things like: “come on guys it’s the end of the world, let’s all get high and love each other until zombies do us part!”

Not so bad to have someone like that around to lighten the mood.

I'm the one who says " Well fuck THIS" and scarpers.

It's not cowardice. It's good sense.

I can understand that, i would enjoy it for some time and then i would start considering to get out when the excitement wasn't there anymore and it became nothing but survival.

I would be hiding out on an abandoned oil rig.

Don't feel so safe though, water doesn't necessarily help, i saw a movie where they could walk on the ocean floor.

[–] halomaniac88 (1736) 5 years ago

how will they climb up to the rig, zombie are dumb

Not sure, in some depictions they are dumber than in others, hard to say what a real life zombie would be capable of.

[–] halomaniac88 (1736) 5 years ago

you would need a stable foundation for that, the ocean current would easily wreck a zombie column,storms at sea, cold water temperatures are also factors.

Maybe, it would still be better than most land based hideouts, i can agree on that.
