What I'm saying is that if a zombie outbreak reached the continental U.S. and started growing in numbers, everyone would start to flee. To the police station, to their cabins, and out of the country. Canada would normally be a smart choice, as it is large, cold, and sparsely population compared to the U.S. The one problem is that everyone else will think the same thing. That decision is based off common sense. At the start of an outbreak, everyone will immediately begin to panic and start stocking up supplies. Gas stations won't be able to handle the demand and go dry everywhere, including Canada. If you plan on driving up to Alaska, you better have an enormous gas tank or Jesus at your side, because that's one hell of a road trip. Everyone will bring food with them for the trip, but they won't be able to bring enough to last them. Hungry people look for food. It's simple instinct. If you, the typical fat american, haven't eaten in three days, and a man nearby you is roasting weenies, chances are you're going to try to obtain some from him. A fight might break out because they are his last weenies and he wants to enjoy them. If you're both packing heat, someone will get shot. NOW. If "zombie apocalypse" means that every corpse rises from the grave, then your plan is much more sound as most people will be consumed or reanimated within two or three days of the event. |

I would think, and hope, that if you americans contracted some virus that casued half your population to turn into zombies we would quarentine off the borders, and say no go, as you would probably infect us too :/ Anyways, how many zombies can you think of that can push 20 desks out of the way? Or climb to the third floor of a building? Of all buildings in a city to hide in, a school is the best. |

Assuming you're a canadian, you're fucked regardless. I doubt the military would be able to effectively quarantine the entire border, and if they did manage, they'd be responsible for maybe a hundred million deaths. And then they'd have to fight them as zombies. You're screwed. |

That depends on your definition of the average human psyche and how many people actually have 'common sense'. I'd like to think I'm a bit more intelligent than the average person and I'm willing to stake my life on the fact I can prepare enough and be able to improvise in the event such an attack would occur on my way to Alaska.
I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying, man. We're talking first day the news reaches me this plan goes into effect. Widespread panic is a given, there will be looting, killing, etc. That's given in a panic such as that. I've also taken into account the state I live in. Gas stations just 'going dry' based on the assumption everybody is going to bolt, is ludicrous. Maybe a couple days after? Sure. And I'd be traveling with a full tank and two gas canisters filled enough to tip me off full again until I make it until another gas station. Believe me, I've thought this out. I'm good.
I resent being called a 'typical fat american' and I think it'd be in your best interest to leave 'national pride' out of this discussion if you're debating with somebody from the U.S. I've read enough about survival to know that I can go a couple of weeks without food if I had water in the most dire of cirumstances. And the chances of running out of food and getting to that level, in the U.S. of all places, is fucking slim when I'm in a car and I'm moving from state-to-state. You have to take into account the migration paths for fleeing, panicking 'americans', your planned route and your ability to prepare as well as a bit of luck. I'm not going to lie, there are going to be some situations that I won't be able to control. That's a given. What I'm saying is that I wouldn't resort to 'stealing' from somebody in less I absolutely needed it, and there would be no 'fighting' involved. If I have to run them over with my fucking car to get food, I'll do it. If I have to put a bullet in the back of there head when they aren't looking. I will do it. I don't think you really understand the lengths some people will go for survival and I think the road trip to Alaska is plausible and very possible to do as long as you know what your doing. |

First off, I'm pretty sure I didn't call you a "typical fat american." I've had my posts edited a couple times by other people since I got on here, and there's no way in hell I would say something like that, or group an obviously intelligent guy like you with them without knowing you on a personal level. I apologize regardless. Secondly, are we talking about a "all dead rise overnight" scenario or an infection out of control? With the former, I would say that driving north would not be a good idea unless you know the side roads very well. The number of drivers on the road, driving to their family or to the gas station or to the store, would effectively stop the highways and freeways. With the latter, your plan would definitely get you up north if you left early enough in the outbreak that no one really knew what it was or how dangerous it could be. I really want to know which situation we're talking about! :P |

Apology accepted. We'll go with an infection scenario via 28 Days Later/RE for the Alaska project. As for the 'magic zombies pop mysteriously out of the ground via Jesus' Second Coming', I'd like to stray away from. I think in either situation I'd be fine with the plan, but the infection would be much more ideal to operate in if you were able to know how to resist becoming infected and depending on where you live when the outbreak occurs. I live in a rural part of Ohio in a town of about 20,000 (I'm not going to lie, the town I live in has the best school district in the state, but the fact remains that I live about a mile away from Amish land and my house is situated in a township that is not in the middle of the city). And I still think this plan is much better than gathering all your friends and family and trying to wait it out at the Winchester. ;) Edited by Ozmodious, Sep 25 2008, 06:13 PM.

Obviously, and with no offence intended, you don't know much about Canada's land, it's military or its people. First off we can easily abandon the praries, as there is too much empty land to bother with, that leaves poor Vancover alone, but oh well, then we move into Ontario and Quebec, and we have more then enough military to defend the borders for those. If we need to we can also head over to our maritimes, and few zombies can cross raging rivers. An hour from where I live I can get out of any problemed areas simply by going into Lake Ontario, up the St. Lawrence River, and I'm free to the Ocean, unless we have super zombies, they probably can't swim, and water is safe. Then depending on the boat I can head north along the coast, gathering food along the way, and if it has a sail then I have wind power, and head north to Alert, where its too cold for zombies. |

By "borders" I meant the entire U.S. Canadian border, which is about 4,000 mi or 7500 km, not including the Alaskan border. It's not an insult toward the Canadian military. It's just impossible to defend that much space with so little time to prepare. I assume that terrified people would have no problem fighting someone else to escape a horrible death at the hands of the undead. And if they're Rage Virus zombies. . . We're all doomed. ;) We really should do this RP. I think it would be a whole lot of fun with you guys. Edited by Emerik, Sep 25 2008, 07:08 PM.

I didn't take it as an insult heh which is what I tried to say with "No offence intended" although a bit backwards. I was just pointing out that just because we have land, and we don't run around shooting everything doesn't mean we can't abandon some and kill some zombies. Although I have to agree, if its Rage virus there is no hope, except for strong swimmers that can swim for weeks (Not happening). We should rp this, it would be fun, shame only a few are paying attention. Edited by Admiral_Dealin, Sep 26 2008, 11:19 PM.

I think we should start setting it up. Between us three we could have an interesting RP. |

We used to have a forum RP like this, but it fell through after a while. I think something along the lines of what you guys are talking about would work better over all. If you get something started, count me in. |

Same. It should be easier to keep up with a forum rp anyway, I just started working and I usually get the evenings off no matter what day I work.

What we could do, is continue the Resident Evil RP, since it lasted so long, but with a twist. As this happens now a days, why not just do a timeshift to the past of the resisdent evil rp? I was enjoying my character after I finally got him done up :) |
