The Walking Dead

guessing that tank is WWII left over as it didn't look like an Abrams? wonder if they have any shells?

one thing that I learned from 'Walking Dead' ... humans are more dangerous then Zombies

how can you trust a stranger in the ZA

Wonder if the tank will help invade the prison?

 

[Sean Renaud]

They might not have a real one but I dont see how they couldn't make one or something. Even just luring zombies into a field and then setting it on fire would work pretty well. They just stand around and do nothing, also how do they keep living, they don't eat each other. Wouldn't they die of thirst eventually? It all seems very poorly planned. At least magic undead zombies have an excuse I can live with.

Burning doesn't kill zombies. That's why. They don't need to drink, maybe they get enough liquid from blod but it seems more likely that they just don't care. And all zombies are magical.

Seriously Jen go stay in the retard threads. I leave you be in the story ideas, I have no such obligation here you piece of worthless shit.

It looked like an M60 variant. So I guess Mitch was in the Army in the mid-1960s and time traveled to 2010 to be in the zombie infested Georgia.

Probably rented from a collector, who undoubtedly teared up at seeing his tank onscreen.

I've noticed that holes seem to trap zombies. The people in the prison need a backhoe to dig a trench outside the fence line.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Holes do work, but they are a bitch to get the zombies back out of. What they need to do is just start sending people out to lure the zombies away every day and kill a bunch. Like you take a car out, part of the job is playing the radio/CD player as loud as you can and drive slow for the first few miles so the zombies leave the the prison. It wouldn't take long.

Do ever look at your work colleagues and imagine what they'd look like as a Walker? We do this a lot at work. It passes the time...

 

[Sean Renaud]

nope, I just wonder who I'm sending out for food and anybody who claims they wouldn't shoot Otis and leave him to the walkers to bring my child back life saving medical equipment is officially not allowed to go for anything more important than toilet paper.

Be Alert!

Just the ones I want to shoot in the head.

At one location we were talking about a zombie apocalypse, and I was talking about how it would be cool to be in a secure VIP location, totally self sufficient for years, and one of my hot co-workers asked if I would let her in.

I told her I would only let her in if she stripped naked. She said that only I would even be a pervert in a zombie apocalypse. I assured her it was only because there is always someone who sneaks in hiding a bite or scratch, and I would have to check.

Being a pervert was just a side benefit.

 

[JohnnySavage]

I don't have any co-workers, but if I did, I'd be thinking about them naked, not as zombies. Well... only the good-looking ones. I don't want to see the ugly ones naked. In fact, I'd never work anywhere that had ugly people there.

Fata is weird.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

6000 people die in a normal day, with medicine, without zombies. Figure that goes up by a factor of 10, that's 60,000 new zombies a day, that's 1.8 million new zombies per month. Gotta like those odds.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Except it's heavily implied that the vast majority of the population died in the opening volley of the virus. Probably six point something billion people didn't make it through Rick's Coma.

No, usually I look at my coworkers and imagine what it would be like if they worked somewhere else....

My boss is half-walker anyway. The cunt him.

Yeah, hear ya. The amount of stress some of these guys are under, with their divorces and kids....they all look like zombies

Oh it's not stress. He's just a fucking ugly wanker. And his teeth are walker-like as it is. Plus he's scruffy and smells like he's been dead months.

it's that quality healthcare ya'all got over there?

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

So, why did the Governor turn around and go back when they came to the pool of mud-stuck zombies?

 

[Batch]

maybe it triggered his fishbowl collection memories
and walkers trapped has some meaning for him

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

My take is he came to the conclusion that there was no other place safe to go to, except the prison. Except, there are like 80 prisons in Georgia. Pick one.

 

[Batch]

or gated communities.

He doesn't like working too hard.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Doing all the wrong things for the right reasons.

 

[Batch]

Indeed. Doesn't play well with others.

 

[Sean Renaud]

In the comics (which aren't really that similar to the tv series at this point but for this it should be fine.) The gated communities they have found thus far have been pretty bad. The same gates that would have kept the hordes of zombies out normally simply kept the zombies that formed naturally from escapping and wandering the countryside. Knowing what we know now you could probably clear Atlanta with a fucking party wagon but they didn't know that early on. (And remember at this point we know that the virus that makes zombies infected every human being on the planet at some point. Our heroes are just strong enough that it didn't kill them naturally. 90% of the population simply fell down and got up one day)

I can't speak of Georgia but not all prisons are on the ass end of no where with lots of usable land just outside it. Worse most prisons would still be filled with guards and prisoners (this one was too but apparently few enough that it was easy to clear, though they seem to keep finding another few they missed. In the comics it's explained that there are at least two "types" of zombies. The first "walkers, Biters, Geeks" actively hunt down prey. Those were easy to clear out of the prison. They basically opened the doors, did the hokey pokey and killed whatever came out. Brilliant plan. However the second type "lurkers, waiters, traps" usually sit or lay in place until something comes close enough to be grabbed and bit. Those ones tend to snag a lot of people who aren't paying enough attention.

In short The Prison may be an ideal combination of it's already been cleared (as far as the Governor knows, has room inside the walls for farmland, two separate gates at that and it's well cleared (at least from the one angle we can see) with a tree line that's far enough back that nobody can sneak up on the prison pretty much at all. He knows where it is as well. We don't know how many maps people have and it's easy to forget that as big as a prison is, just like a crap ton of farms or even a sports arena it's really easy to walk right by something that you don't know is there.

That was upsetting. Now what?
