Could be better

I got 52%.
But can you take out 21 five- year-olds in a fight?
Posted by: S.Roit on November 1, 2008 01:24 AM
I lost points for a certain reluctance to kill plus a lack of firearms in the house (although my attitude towards guns would shift rapidly if zombies not humans were society's main problem). Plus I think I should have got a few extra marks for how good I'd be at improvising zombie traps and homemade weaponry. Can't fly a helicopter though and studies have shown that's a key zombie-survival skill.

Bum. I got 51%. I bet I could totally kill more zombies than you, Rob.

I think you are mistaken, Em. I think you meant to say that you could totally be more afraid of zombies than me, which is true. (Also, you probably lost some points because I know more about making explosives.)

Ah no, but Rob you have made a schoolboy-type error, for it is you who would cower from the zombie foe whilst I would bravely engage with them in hand to hand combat. There were no questions about hand to hand combat, hence my artificially lowered score. I hope that clears things up about who would defeat the most zombies out of you or I, Rob. It would be I.

53%. It's looking a little like 50/50 for all of us isn't it?
My plan is:
a. Drive to Dartmoor.
b. Hide in Bellever YHA.
c. Starve there...

I lost points for not having a gun, and no doubt, for being short.
I'm with Em. There should be marks for hand to hand combat.

Oh dear. I have a less-than-50% chance of surviving. I think it's because I spend so much time picking kale instead of reading up on explosives.

S and Em (snigger), I'm not sure how much store you should set by your ability to spar with zombies. Not sure that works. I think it would all come down to the availability of pump-action shotguns. In Britain there are a total of about three, whereas in America Anna could just nip round to one or her neighbours and ask to borrow a couple of theirs.

*Snicker*
Well, rather stereotypically, I do know how to fire more than one type of gun. I get docked for not having one in the house, apparently.
