Leader.

Hm. But what kind of leader? Some are incompitent and are quickly usurped.

Likely to be voted most valuable team member in the Zombie Apocalypse High School yearbook.

I knew the times will come when being control freak will finally pay off.

You support the leader most of the time, but are far from brown-nosing; as a matter of fact, you'd be willing to go against direct orders if you feel it's better for the group. More often than not, you are the rock's rock, the one the leader goes to when they don't feel strong. Should anything happen to the leader, it is without a doubt that they would put you in charge.

Stores would be mobbed with everyone else thinking the very same thing. I’d rather be as far from metropolitan/consumer areas as quickly as possible. I’d be good with my pre-purchased Walmart stuff.

*adds “machete” to next month’s shopping list*

That shark suit does sound cool in theory, but I’d wonder about upkeep. And if it’d be ok to sleep in/wear all the time. I don’t think zombies will wait for me to get dressed. I do like the idea of anti-bite clothing, though.

You might not need that much to stop a zombie bite in reality (if that's not a stupid thing to say when talking about zombies). They only have human dentation and jaws - even with a bit zombie strength upgrade, they won't be able to bite like a tiger. A lot of protective sports gear would do the job without being too heavy. Failing that tough cloth would do the job. If you've got a sharp knife (or machete) you might be able improvise something out of carpet or rug. a roll of duct tape would be useful, as always.

My role is as the chick that would be kicking some serious zombie butt if I hadn’t started to feel super weird about myself and insecure about my intellect for never having come up with the same basic survival strategies [MENTION=8554]Andy[/MENTION] presented in his post so I go to live alone in a barn loft.

I'm first to die and good because zombies are boring and overused.

Relax, your inability to come up with zombie survival tactics on the fly is just an unfortunate side effect of having a life. Not having such a thing myself, I have plenty of time to sit around watching low budget horror movies and imagine how much better the characters chances of survival would be if they weren't so fucking dumb.

On the plus side, if you pull up the ladder, a barn loft would be a very secure location.

I cant imagine any apocalypse scenario in which I'm not a loner, none at all.

I liked the way the screenwriters rewrote The Postman in many ways (a faithful adaptation of that book would be crazy and resemble the Hulk movies more than anything else) and had Costner's character teased as "Shakespeare" by the photocopier guy turned tyrant, he had binoculars and books so obviously he "enjoyed people from afar". Isnt that a fact/good idea.

There used to be great coasters, posters and stationary a while back, my brother got me one of the coasters, it said "never underestimate the stupidity of people in groups", that's a truism.

Another great apocalypse scenario, one boy and his dog,
I'd not want to run the risk of that scenario. Or similar ones in the book of Eli too.

I would just need to be careful when I'm smoking reefer...

I LOVE how you think I have a life! I am going to get so much mileage on this one thought today...
Thank you Andy for this :wubbie:

That's cool I got the leader! :thumbup:

You sit at the helm and everyone looks to you for guidance. You are the rock of the group. You have your group’s best interests at heart, and your decisions are based on that, even if they would prefer you do something else. You make quick decisions based on what you think is the best option in the moment, and most of the time, it was the right choice.

I wasn't trying to pick the leader options but I guess I did anyway :shrug:
Looking at the stats there are way too many of them.

I didn't like a lot of the options, and they all seemed based on movies and tv shows, so my result is probably inaccuate due to choices.
