    No, I admit I don't know many RenFaire folk, but those I do, and especially those with full suits of armor and weaponry, are much more likely to dive for a shotgun than a longsword.

    A combonation of the two, however... :bergman:

    Hey, even a knight's got to eat and poop. Plus that armor's not suited against a swarm of fearless drones.

    If you're talking about Max Brooks, he's of the infected humans school. :shrug:

    34%. Although the results are somewhat skewed by me bein' in Hawaii.

    Anyhow, it is a poorly-designed test. It asks about skill with firearms, but doesn't say anything about accessiblity to firearms. Or ammo. Unfortunately, my zombie loadout is stored in Oregon. My only hope is, being in the middle of the ocean, Oahu would be relatively sheltered from the outbreak.

    I have no idea what book you think you read but it clearly wasn't World War Z or The Zombie Survival Guide.

    The Romans knew how to handle zombies though.

    Hawaii ended up as the center of the US Government.

    But towards the end of the war, no coast was safe because of all the zombies wandering the sea floor.

    As the resident black guy, I don't need a test to know that my ass is grass. :garamet:

    His zombies live underwater and are impervious. They're "infected", but they're still magic in my eyes.

    :shock:

    In that case, I'll send you some of our special-variety "Resident Evil Anniversary Edition" zombies. They're beginning to pile up a bit over here.

    I refuse to take the test, cuz it's safe to assume it doesn't factor in that my mutant blood factors are the zombie cure.

    I think a lot of it has to do with where you live. If you live further from the crowded coasts, you have more time to prepare, after all the undead can only move so fast.

    Could be my elevation too (5600 feet). It takes them a while to climb that high, especially when they keep falling down.

    My location suits fleeing the zombie hoards (right by the ocean), but my complete and utter lack of firearms or fighting experience (save for some marginal wilderness survival one picks up when one lives in a wooded area and likes to read) really did me in.

    What I needs is a man with a gun. And a boat. I can provide the ocean. And pie.

    34% chance of survival... I think that living on the eastern seaboard helped somewhat..

    But some of the questions didn't really apply. I chose Eastern Seaboard because the South wasn't an option. Plus I said I wasn't close to the ocean, I'm actually about 3 hours away so I don't know if that really counts.

    31%. But, on the other hand, I do know how to make napalm.

    41% given the limited scope of the choices. :marathon:

    Seems like the whole quiz assumed you lived in California. :shrug:

    This test doesn't factor in a lot of things, and is wildly inaccurate. Gunforge alone would ensure survival of a good number of their closest. Remember kids, all you have to be is smarter than the dead.
