That map is shit, no logic at all.
I just gotta swim to Tasmania and I'll be fine... Fuck Zombie Sharks.
Fuck the entire of England is infected. I'm down!
All of Japan is gray? Wouldn't at least some of the islands off the mainland be safe? And why is one tiny island all the way north of Canada black? That makes no sense.
[QUOTE=-ZeeBo-;17971677]That map is shit, no logic at all.[/QUOTE] Because the OP needs to read WWZ again.
I think I might get this book.
so i guess im swimming to cuba? lame.
How did Scotland survive/ Why did they make Scotland a safe zone first?
[QUOTE=iPope;17974533]How did Scotland survive/ Why did they make Scotland a safe zone first?[/QUOTE] Yeah it's not like the scottish are any important or anything. :smug:
Uberman, is this book some sort of bible to you or something. You treat it as if it's defenition of zombie was true and anyone else's wasn't. How would a disembodied head harm you? The only muscle it can move is it's jaw. How in the world can that harm you? Also that whole "omgzz tanks and shellz and moder weponz dun work" thing is really dumb. A tank shell can and will obliterate somone's head. And how would zombies walk underwater? It's just so absurd, it's just so illogical. And how would they find their way through underwater? They could only reach land through the beaches, and I doubt a zombie understands the concept of "beach", much less be able to navigate underwater with all the obstacles. The bottom of the sea isn't flat, you know. Not to mention, the brain is destroyed by the lack of oxygen. How would zombies get oxygen underwater? Unless the book invents some bullshit like "dey fitlre teh air"
[QUOTE=Zombii;17967049]Where do you live? Barnes & Noble carries them, so do most stores.[/QUOTE] I got off the computer to go to sleep... didn't see this post, I live just several miles out of Springfield, in Missouri, I think there is a Barnes & Noble store somewhere in town.

[QUOTE=Izan Specter;17966511]Wait a minute, There is only like three big cities in Missouri, other than that there are plains and hills(Parts of Missouri shouldn't be a mega swarm)... I mean I live near the town, but probably 30 miles from the closest and 3rd biggest city in the state itself, (I live outside of Springfield) 100s of miles from Jefferson or KC. On the bad side, I live in the suburbia, neighborhoods are not good for zombie apocalypses.[/QUOTE] The swarm originated in NYC and moved west in search for food.

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;17976316]Explain how I would be "done for", and explain how the hell the head would turn to bite me.[/QUOTE] You'd be done for because the virus would infect you and it'll turn it's neck if it had one?

[QUOTE=Billiam;17976343]You'd be done for because the virus would infect you and it'll turn it's neck if it had one? [/QUOTE] It would turn it's neck, but would the head itself turn? No.
[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;17976373]It would turn it's neck, but would the head itself turn? No.[/QUOTE] I guess it depends on the position of the head for it to be lethal. And I'm certain there's situation in urban or swampy environments where a disembodied head can hurt you.
Ireland. Yeah, woo, IMMA SAFE
[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;17976132]How would a disembodied head harm you? The only muscle it can move is it's jaw.

Shells like that work on the principle of shrapnel inflicting mortal wounds on a living human body - they wouldn't do fuck-all to a walking corpse, unless a lucky bit of shrapnel did enough damage to disable the brain [QUOTE=*Freezorg*;17976132]And how would zombies walk underwater?

I think I am the definition of safe. [IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/2z6wnlc.jpg[/IMG]
Fuck I'm infected. Sweden. But if we could make it down to Denmark then we'd be okay
Nah, Ireland's way more safe. We've got Craggy Island, and Father Jack to yell at the zombies and throw drinks at them if they get too close. Sadly, I do not live on CI.

A disembodied head can still get you, people are stupid, and the stupid ones go first. (After the fatties) [editline]05:01PM[/editline] Also, Zombies are not self aware or aware of anything except prey. Hordes happen by chance because every zombie is heading toward the same place.
I just finished reading World War Z. It was pretty good read. I was sad that it was only 200 pages :(
Somehow I don't think New Zealand will be that infected. It's too small and insignificant. And also, don't zombies die after their head is destroyed or cut off? And seriously, heads still being alive is dumb, because the brain needs blood to function, and with a beheaded head, you've got no blood /death. Zombies aren't really dead, they are just reanimated, they SHOULD die if their head is cut off.
You guys are too narrow. When the Great Panic set in, everybody went everywhere to escape the zombies. They didn't know that bites spread the disease, so infected spread across the globe. Also, the infection spread via organ donors.
I'd rather be infected then be safe in TASMANIA!
how can it spread via organ donors if the virus only exists in the brain
Damnit, i'm in a infected zone Argentina FTL.
[QUOTE=abcpea;17982609]how can it spread via organ donors if the virus only exists in the brain[/QUOTE] Small tabs of infected blood cells left behind on the tissue. They said in the book that it can sometimes take weeks to months before people reanimate. If its the heart its only a matter of seconds
