Your Specialization

[Dave Of The Dead]

Yeah, being educated is a good skill for after z-day. I'm working on a Major in Psychology right now which will come in handy for pretty much any disaster if you apply it right. My minor for Criminal Justice won't though...

[Flesh Jester]

Well lets see, what would help me in a zombie apocalypse situation. My current employment has me stationed in the middle of nowhere, there are lots of guns, I know how to "properly" use those guns, even if I'm not that great a shot, I'm obsessed with zombies and don't categorize them into just one slow shambling hoard category. However, If we take a look back to Day of the dead, Its not exactly a good idea to be on a military base during the apocalypse. The higher ups around here are maniacle controlling ass holes as it is :x If I wasn't on this base however Id be able to survive on my own, Being a USMC grunt has its benifits like being able to hike for days, knowing how to properly fortify a position, Clearing out rooms of zeds (which would be a whole lot easier then breaking through a door only to find Habib there has a PKC pointed at ya) Good with knives and slight martial arts training.

Oh! and I'm pretty good at cooking too. :puke:

[Ball Tripper]

I don't have any special skills like mechanical or computer knowledge beyond that of a lay person. I like to think that I would still be useful to have around though. I'm quite intelligent in general and I'm a good problem solver, I think outside the box.

[kiltedninja]

Education is a given, I'm not too good with complex mathematics, but I could teach reading, writing, what I know of history and science. I could teach close quarters combat, something which, in a ZPAW, wouldn't be the best skill, but I believe that being able to use weapons that don't need reloading is a valuable skill which I can teach.

[3030]

Ok, well I am certainly not capable of being a sniper, like all the 15 and 16 year old kids on here :) but I have been hunting for a great while, and I'm a good enough shot to bring meat home. I'm much better with my revolver however, so that's pretty handy.

I am currently pursuing a degree in Bioarchaeology, and I'm about to apply to graduate school for Forensics, so corpses are my specialty. What I can do with my current degree is pretty much nothing, besides all the labs I had in my Anthropology classes making lithics weapons like axes, hammers, and knives from flint knapping. I also got to make a spear and throw it, which was pretty cool, and I would feel pretty comfortable throwing that at a rabbit or something about that size for food, or a zombie skull.

The trick is knowing your limits and exercising them, and not giving into your imagination and believing you can do a job that you can't.

[Birdman44]

The trick is knowing your limits and exercising them, and not giving into your imagination and believing you can do a job that you can't.

Indeed, if you believe you can do it then you can do it! Except for the guy who thought he could fly by jumping off a building (he didn't believe hard enough:lol:)

[3030]

Right, I agree. However, I was more or less saying that just because you watch the Sniper movies, know someone who is a sniper, and/or are able to fire a weapon, that doesn't mean that in an emergency you should be given a M21 SWS and told to give support for a group that is being attacked 700 meters away. I really meant that when everything goes wrong, you resort back to your training, and that sorta doesnt work when you've never had that training.

[Birdman44]

You are absolutely right! I sure wouldnt try taking that kinda shot without practice, which i haven't yet.

[dudeskis]

The #1 person I would be looking for post Zday would be a boat captain and someone who knows cartography. You can have all the special forces dudes you want to fight the zombies but one thing is 100% certain post Zday and that is that small island nations are going to avoid infection. Not all of them will but some of them will. Getting to an island will solve all your problems. If you get to an island you can build the ultimate zombie vehicle and then barge it to the mainland and look for survivors. Boats are going to be so important I can't express this enough. Can you imagine the fishing after society breaks down?!! You'll be able to live off fish, soy beans, and rice. And GPS isn't going to work so you'll need someone who can read nautical maps and get you to safety.

[Bob]

One question.
How are the zombies going to bring down the GPS satellites?

[dudeskis]

One question.
How are the zombies going to bring down the GPS satellites?

The electronic monitoring centers that maintain their software and stuff will go offline. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think that GPS satellites are launch and forget. If they will continue to work on their own that would be awesome!!!

[fomyowen]

im great with computers i could probably set up a camera security system with the right equipment and im pretty good knowledge with weapons and cars but im only 13.... so kinda droopy.... but im not lying about the pc stuff thats a good skill right??

[deadrising08]

I want to know what your role would be in a group

[Darkness]

I want to know what your role would be in a group

"You really should read through the Index, before starting threads." :naughty:

[Dave Of The Dead]

This has already been done in the "Hastily Formed Militia. What Role will You Play?" thread. But I'll have to either go with leader or co-leader. I just know that in my group there are two of us who have the best survivability chances of anyone else and therefore we will probably both take charge.

[Scud]

i think i would fit a bunch of those, leader, medic, maybe a few more :drinking:

[Birdman44]

I dont know how much of a leader I'de be, however, I think I'de be a pretty good scout for the group. I know the town like the back of my hand and can find the fastest routes to anywhere around here, not to mention I'm not too bad with with guns or a bow and I hunt so it wouldn't be that bad for me to go out and spot where the zeds are or where any important places or people are at.

[Bob]

My position would be pusher.
You know the guy who pushing you into doing things you don't want to do.

[Dave Of The Dead]

My position would be pusher.
You know the guy who pushing you into doing things you don't want to do.

those are always good for morale

[kiltedninja]

I won't say it! I won't say it! I'm gonna behave and not even THINK the words 'GIRL on GIRL' because that would be wrong and stuff....

Damn! Ok, am I the only one thinking this stuff? Wait! Don't answer that!

I was never here!

You're not the only one thinking this stuff man... You're just the ballsiest one of us all. BALLS DEEP!!

[Birdman44]

My position would be pusher.
You know the guy who pushing you into doing things you don't want to do.

Ha :lol: As long as you dont push me into a pile of zombies ill be good with that, I may need an extra push if I whack out.

[Bob]

I won't push you into a pile of the Zed unless you deserve it.
More likely you would get pushed into searching that dark building with all the moaning coming from inside.

[Birdman44]

I won't push you into a pile of the Zed unless you deserve it.
More likely you would get pushed into searching that dark building with all the moaning coming from inside.

I can live with that (I hope) :) Just give me a good gun a flashlight and a big knife or machete just in case I get into a little squabble with the enemy.

That being said I know that I don't really know of my capacity as a leader but leading small groups of people on scavenging mission would probably be where I'm at, especially around here.

[Bob]

Being a leader means making the hard decisions look easy and sticking to them.

[Birdman44]

Which is why I'de rather be the leader of scavenging parties then of a whole group. Less people to order around and I've done my time of leading fire teams in paintball (even though they are very different scenarios :x) but it may provide some stability during a sticky situation. I'de start off with taking one or two people with my, close friends if they are there that would no doubt follow my command and once i built confidence in that i would move on to bigger parties to go looking for goods.

[Bob]

If a member of your team did not want to go into a building and was refusing to go what would you do?
I have some thoughts on this but I want to hear what you have to say first.
Think about the choices and ramifications his and your choices.

[mattifikation]

The coward can guard the door.

We'll all vote later to change his nickname to "Shaky McShakersons" later on.

[Birdman44]

I would make him hold the heavier stuff that is more specialized for house busting. Like maybe a battering ram we found at a police station or something. And after we got in we would just leave him at the door to let him guard it and carry extra ammo.

[Bob]

Ha

Ok so he refuses to go in.
Now George refuses to go in, he says why should he risk his neck when this guy doesn't have to.

What do you do now?

[UNDEAD FRED]

I can roll good joints, I will be holding the blunts when the TEAM returns.

[Birdman44]

Ha

Ok so he refuses to go in.
Now George refuses to go in, he says why should he risk his neck when this guy doesn't have to.

What do you do now?

True, tell both of them that if they don't want to help out the group then there is no reason for them to come back to the rest of the group with us and threaten to leave them. Or I will force them in and make them be the point guard as punishment for holding us up. Usually If im leading though I go ahead of everyone setting an example first so if its our first time out it ill have them come in or leave forever and I'll take front reguardless. After that they will be forced to the front if stopping me for any reason as such.

[Bob]

Thats what a pusher does.
I think the Army calls them sergeants.

[Betterdayz]

I would try and take charge of everything that is sort of my character. So I guess that would be my job..lol

I see your point, but taking into account that since they are not very disciplined, it is more than likely that they do not have any type of military training, they are not trained to follow orders, and the fact that they have weapons to, how are you going to force them to do something if they refuse? It kind of reminds me of Steve from DOTD04, he was giving the job of simply gaurding the door, he left, resulting in the zombies getting into in the mall. Im just going off the scenerio of you might not have a choice of who you will stuck with in a zombie apocalypse.

[kiltedninja]

Y'know, I've known very few people with the name Steve that are responsible people. I do have one friend, but other than him, they're all :poo: heads, fictitious or not.

I'd be the guy that runs ahead the rest of the group, scout things out, and reports back. I could hunker down and do static fighting, but very little of that would actually be done in zombie warfare I assume, since there's likely only two scenarios where I'd be ordered to kill zombies.

1) Small numbers that would get in my way, which then I'd just use my machete.

2) Large numbers that are laying waste (Or attempting to) to our defenses.

Other than that, it'd be like a big adventure, that smelled like dead people everywhere.

[Eaterofkittens]

I am unskilled in combat. I've swung a boffing sword with some skill.
I do not currently know how to drive. I don't make bombs or sew flesh. I'm not a woods guy. I've never touched a gun or seen a real one up close.

But I am a big guy. 6'5. 230' lbs. Pretty good shape.
I'm a good follower and will listen when someone makes sense. I've got heart and can give when it feels like there's nothing left.
I can cook (though delicious ingredients will be hard to acquire), I'm funny, I care about people. In times of calm, everyone will want me in their camp. In times of crisis, I respond.

By the way, videojunkie, you can make Beerijuana. Just replace the hops with the herb and sweeten it with honey. I had some that was delicious and 'potent'.

[homelitexl]

i wanna be the mortician so i can study the dead to find there ultimate weakness.

[Eaterofkittens]

I thought their ultimate weakness was the head?
"Hit the head and not the chest. Headshots are the very best." -Childrens rhyme from FIDO

[kiltedninja]

That's what the movies say, but we won't know until it starts.

[Betterdayz]

Well the brain provides the main functions for you to move. If you take that out they wouldnt able to move. Thats your best bet instead of pumping tons of bullets in the chest.

[kiltedninja]

I'd go for head shots everytime, just because a head shot has rarely not worked on anything. Except rocks and trees...they don't have heads.

[homelitexl]

I thought their ultimate weakness was the head?
"Hit the head and not the chest. Headshots are the very best." -Childrens rhyme from FIDO

good luck because i could possibly be the surgeon too, so i need to find there weakness so i can save the bitten or just dissect the undead. i thought that might be fun.

[Dave Of The Dead]

good luck because i could possibly be the surgeon too, so i need to find there weakness so i can save the bitten or just dissect the undead. i thought that might be fun.

How could a surgeon find a cure or save any bitten survivors? Wouldn't you have to be a toxicologist, virologist, bacteriologist, parasitologist or something to do that pending on what the cause is?

[Bob]

I think he is going to be looking for the alien life forms infesting the supposed infected. Like in the movie Days of Darkness.

[homelitexl]

bingo bob you got it right. dont worry ill use ether and a hacksaw to work and you get a free nose job for getting it right.

[CityOfChicago]

In the event of Z-Day - or any other apocalytic catastrophe - what are your personal statistics and the training/skill sets you have?

Me:
32 YOA
5'10"
230lbs

I played fullback in college and for my department, so I have some athletic skill. I also competed in powerlifting and strongman, but haven't competed in a meet or event since '99. I also train boxing, but have never fought in the ring.

I grew up in a family full of military and LE members, and have been shooting since I was 9. I've received additional fight, weapons, and vehicle driving since becoming the police. I work in a very busy Southside district, so I get to practice my fighting about once a week. I have been involved in many car chases and a few shootings, and I've discovered how to remain calm when the SHTF.

However, I will admit that I am not built for running - 2 miles is about as far as I can plod. I had shoulder surgery some time back, and since then my ability to get over an obstacle taller than me takes a few moments.

What do you feel are your stregths and weaknesses?

You're skeet team had special rules for homosexuals? Is that legal?

[mattifikation]

I'm trained in Jedi skills, I have mutant healing powers and ultra-heightened senses. My healing abilities cause me to have above-normal strength. They also helped me survive an experiment where an indestructible metal was bonded to my skeleton and three lightsabers were implanted in each hand. Plus, I've been riding a hoverboard since I was like five.

It's scary how young some of you are.
I am so old that I would probably be more interested in your grandmother than your girlfriend.

[Dave Of The Dead]

Me:
19 Years
6' 2"
140 lbs

I've only been shooting the past two years, but I am better than both my father and grandfather who have been doing it since they were kids. So far I am best with a shotgun.
I've been running since middle school, both cross country and track. Not so much since graduating though.
I work out both cardio and strength from time to time, but not so much muscle in my arms.
I drive everywhere so I know my way around the midwest and east coast pretty well. I have sort of an internal compass too so that isn't so bad either.
I've been obsessed with blades since I was 12 so I have quite a collection and know how o use them rather well. My favorite are my kukris.
I have an incredible pain tolerance with as many injuries i've received from broken bones to lacerations to severed fingers (re-attached, thank god). And from all that, I've learned a bit of first aid.
I'm dexterous and a quick learner. I know my knots and how to fight.

Weaknesses: I have a bad back and get frequent headaches which slow me down a bit.
Sometimes I think I'm too much of a leader and can get the "my way or the highway" mentality in tough situations.

[Bob]

Nothing wrong with my way or the highway as long it's Bobs way.

Be cautious with your body.
I was not, I fought hard, played hard, worked hard, drank hard, dated hard :evil:

I work out regularly and can carry heavy loads.
I played soccer for 2 years.
I played baseball for 2 years.
I play golf.
I skateboard.
I have a 3.5 GPA
I'm can greatly suppress physical pain to the point where I cannot even feel a broken bone hurt. Probably because i have a history of self injury...
I know how to think under pressure and would probably be the one making the plans.
The suffer from depression, which really leaves me at a loss if I'm not in a group to socialize with.

So really, I'm SOL unless there are perfect conditions for me.

17 Yrs. Old

If you're into MMA, look up Fedor Emelianenko, that's how I fight, but my boxing is tighter. I fight MMA currently after 15 months of Karate, a year of Jujutsu, and six months of boxing, my Boxing record is 2-0, my MMA record is 1-0. I can write, draw, I'm a fairly good teacher sort of, I'm in amazing shape, I work out in a gym, and run, and walk everywhere. I can lift more than my weight with any of my core muscle groups. I can take stuff apart and reassemble it, I can actually use a katana pretty well, from practicing Iaido at my Jujutsu school. I can iron sight shoot with my Lee Enfield at up to 150 yds. I know the difference between combat shooting and target shooting.

Weaknesses; Women, bullets, penecillin.

[JJ Ritonya]

My specialization would be knowing when someone's going to die. Like when someone says "I'll be right back." They're pretty much not coming back.
Or if anyone was having sex. Most likely the dude would get it first, then the chick would die half naked and screaming.
Yeah, if I had a superpower, that would be it.

[UNDEAD FRED]

No one has picked cook yet, I think that would be very important unless you like to eat out of cans, or plastic pakages all the time.

Oh no doubt, I was the same way with ramen back in the day when I was low on cash (minus using them as a toilet). I visit my parents as much as possible and thats where I get my weekly intake of actual food.

Lol @ the closed poll. 4-out-of-7 of those who responded said they want to be a leader in their group. If everybody's a leader, who you gonna lead? Ridiculous.

i could be a breeder or a rambo commando.

[kiltedninja]

They call him Homelite the drunk.

I can cook...I just didn't stop to think that it's a useful skill.

Being able to find, recognize, and prepare food in the field would probably be the most useful version of "cooking."

and have 6 yrs military exp. And i raced boats professionally, just not real well(never won a race)

[homelitexl]

i am good with small engines nd guns plus i have experiance being a leader

[kiltedninja]

I'm good at shooting, melee weapons in general, and breaking into houses.

[Dave Of The Dead]

Sometimes I like to sketch reinforcement plans for building, doorways, windows, whatever. I've come up with some pretty zombie-proof plans for buildings, though not something you can just do on the fly.

[Sammo909]

I'm 25,
182cm tall, (5' 11.5")
weigh 68kg, (about 150lbs)

I can follow orders and have a willing to help personality. I took a first aid course and have a forklift license and can/have driven a tractor, can also drive a manual (Is that really a mentionable skill? Do you all learn automatics in USA?). Three years of working as a storeman, my job was working with 20kg drums, filling, shifting, carrying etc. Who needs the gym? Did wall-climbing for a year, I can still clamber pretty well. Learned Tae Kwon Do for a while, but that was years ago and to be honest it was kind of piss-weak.... may as well have left it out. Took kenjutsu and ju-jutsu for a year, not as bad as prior but wouldn't stake my life on it. Can cook basic stuff, meat and veg.

Not too long ago I didn't even know Parkour existed but seeing stuff on YouTube now I have to say: "Wow, I used to do that kind of thing." Not at the advanced level as the guys in the vids do, but hopping around, taking unconventional routes, climbing short heights, changing directions on a dime.... Damn, if I had known this existed I would've taken it up ten years ago, in fact I'm tempted now.

So, pretty quick, agile, climber, can carry weight. I guess that would make me a Scout/Scavenger but unfortunately I'm not good with directions, I've got a few routes I know and travel regularly, that's it. I guess that leaves me with Guard or Tag Along.

Oh, and my most important skill: Teetotaler - that might not seem so important to you all but when the scavving party comes back with a haul of booze, or the moonshine's ready who's gonna keep level-headed or volunteer for guard duty so the others can unwind?

[Deej]

I'm a decent cook who can improvise with what's available - I have fundemental knowledge of edible plants and insects, I grew up in a wooded environment and know my way around forests; I am decent at rough carpentry, but my real talent there is in fine work - simple wooden chess sets and engraving and the like.

I can't drive, but I'm in decent physical shape and have a great deal of leadership experience - but I prefer to follow direct and simple orders.

[Dave Of The Dead]

Of course a lot of us have leadership experience in the kind of situations we face today, but in the ZPAW most of us will face situations that many of us wouldn't be able to handle without an extensive knowledge of mediating and psychology.

[kiltedninja]

I Have a fairly good knowledge of psychology, but not extensive knowledge on mediating. And I'm very impatient with stupid people.

[Dave Of The Dead]

I've been in a couple situations where I've had to be the mediator. It pisses me off, but I get the job done. Usually it just turns out to them turning to argument to me and I argue VERY well :)

EDIT: 1,000th post!

What do you mean by "training"?

[kiltedninja]

Using foam and PVC weapons doesn't count as training. If you have real training, lets hear where you're learning from.

[Dave Of The Dead]

I think a lot of people mix up the terms "Training" and "Practice" around here. Like I practice with all of my weapons regularly, but I have never been properly trained by a personal instructor. I'm sure its the same with many others around here.

[kiltedninja]

I practice with my old bokken a lot, since my katana is at my dad's until I get it. But I haven't trained in a long time, since I broke my hand to be exact.

True. And maybe "practice" might be just enough to get by on z-day. After all, you only need to be proficient and efficient at swinging that sword; you only need to know how to effectively cut through things with it. You don't need to know how to duel or defend unless you expect zombies to have swords of their own.

[MallNinja]

During 4 years playing army, as a 19D, then later as a 11B, served in Iraq for 496 beautiful and fun filled straight days, assisted in training Iraqi personnel of both regular army, Iraqi national guard, and Iraqi police. Have qualified on the M16A2, M16A4, M4A1, M4A3, M203, AT4, M2, M249, M240B/C/G, and M256. Have had familiarization training with the M21, M24, M82, SR25, and SPR26 at a unit level DM course. Have been familiarized with the MP5, MP5SD, PM12, UMP .45, and proceeded to use the MP5SD for FOB pest control in my free time for a few months. While working with local national forces was qualified by SAT personnel to operate and instruct on the AK47, AK74, RPK, RPG7/16/22, PKSU74, and the Dyshka 12.7MM. Very strong in land nav with a map, don't really need the compass so much anymore, just a map and protractor. Can load for sling load, correctly mark a LZ for hazards and direction of landing. blah blah blah. In short, I was in the army and theres probably about 700,001 Joes just like me in right now, and god only knows how many in the general population that still remember their shit. BTW, I'm heading back off into the army here once some paperwork on my reenlistment clears. I can't wait.:puke:

[CAVU45]

Damn! I envy you. I would be back in uniform in a flash if I could. I miss it every day.

i practise with clubs and knives and that sorta thing alot

i am fairly good at machanics like cars and stuff

and i can buld things like walls from working with my dad (builder)

[kiltedninja]

You may be good at H2H, but what happens when you're cornered by three guys that are say...my size (5'11") and are all just as skilled and meaner than you. Well, I guess the obvious answer would be shoot them, but Darkness wouldn't like that.

Anyway, make sure you don't let your skills get to you, when I was 12 I tried to fight the older kids and got my ass kicked all the time. Keep strong, keep fit, because there's always someone tougher than you. Or someone who's going to have friends.

What division did your dad fight? I fought Golden Gloves welterweight.

[Dave Of The Dead]

I fought No Gloves, Anyone Who Fvcked With Me Weight.
I used to be in a Friday night fight club. We would go to concerts where we knew there would be moshing and pair up to fight so we knew nobody would call the police. I never have had the shit kicked out of me, but I have walked out of that place with a concussion, 2 broken ribs, and a broken nose... in the same night. Haven't fought in a couple years though.

Now I never got on anyone's bad side. What me and my friends did was purely for sport and bragging rights. And like I said, that was a couple years ago. I don't expect anyone coming after me at all.

I don't mean to offend anyone when I say this, but I'm not a punk. I didn't fight unwilling people that didn't stand a chance. I didn't fight people I was mad at or had a problem with. I fought people who I was close with, who I knew personally, and I knew would put up a decent challenge. Every singe person I fought knew what they were going into. Like I said, we did it for sport and bragging rights, thats it. If you want to go around beating the shit out of helpless kids for your enjoyment, go ahead, but don't think that I'll be surprised when something horrible boomerangs back.

I'd totally be a tag along =[. But I'm really good at sweet talking... I'd make you feel terrible if you left me to be munched on. :-(

[mattifikation]

Well, if you're really that good at "sweet talking" then you'd probably survive.

[Dave Of The Dead]

I'd say charm is a good skill to have. You're not going to be a good diplomat or mediator if you're an asshole.

[bandits1]

The sweet talkin' gotta be accompanied by a fair amount of good looks, though. Can't sweet talk too many guys into too many things if you're a 200 lb. beast.

[kiltedninja]

Look up the song "Spicy McHaggis jig" and you'll doubt what you just said Bandits.

I still fight that division Dave, unless I'm too inebriated to know what's going on.

[bandits1]

Look up the song "Spicy McHaggis jig" and you'll doubt what you just said Bandits...
Haha. Gross. But it looks like the guy in the video didn't need to be sweet talked too much. He was already a chubby chaser or had the same affliction as Jack Black had in "Shallow Hal".

And that is a video I would've never ever watched in my entire life(and will never watch again) had you not mentioned it.

I'd rather be chewed alive than survive with a bunch of perv men. (Unless they're beautiful...) . My ideal life would be to move towards Japan, find sexy 'female' asian samurai, start an almost all female civilization, keep a few trustworthy (Good luck with that, huh?), non-smelly, men around. :clap: What a dream life.

I don't think she'd be liking me too much either, since I've made it known on several occasions that I'm an asshole. Lighten up Kayla, if you can call internet shit talking rowdy, then us folks on ATZ are a rowdy bunch.

Honestly, my specialization is that I know my limits. I know how far I can push myself, and I heal quickly.

[Dave Of The Dead]

Another "skill" I have, if you can call it that, is that people underestimate me. You've all the pictures of me and you all know how gaunt and scrawny I am. But I can do a lot more than most people assume. I can lift, carry, and do a hell of a lot more than you'd think. To give an example, a couple days ago, I lifted my body weight with one arm at a sporting goods store.

[kiltedninja]

I never underestimate the scrawny guys.

[Dave Of The Dead]

We fight till we're burger, don't we?

[kiltedninja]

That we do. Plus not so long ago, I was a skinny bastard. Then I learned of Bruce Lee.

[mattifikation]

Well, I'm sure the gay guys would have a tough time keeping the woodpecker peckin' in a fort full of womenfolk. I, for one, like the idea of stumbling across a giant lesbian colony that's desperate for somebody to donate sperm. I have to question the taste of any man who doesn't.

Darkness, "Hot chick who can manipulate anyone with her feminine wiles" is a specialization and we're simply discussing that. I'm sure you can relate, right? ;-)

Anyone specialize in therapy or building time machines?

[kiltedninja]

I have a time machine. It goes forward at regular speed. It's called a watch.

I have my own brand of therapy that I've found very...therapeutic. They usually call it fighting, but I call it therapy. I'm sure others agree with me.

[mattifikation]

Therapy will be in very high demand.

[kiltedninja]

I also think that means of clothing repair will be in high demand. Any man who can't patch up his clothes needs to be taught how. It may not seem like a big thing to have a hole in your jeans, but imagine it's your backpack.

[Bob]

I need a time machine to go back before I got upset.

Percussive noise therapy.
I am going to the local gun club this weekend for some therapy.

[homelitexl]

use my knd of therapy drink your cares away the bottle is yur friend and it helps you out:drinking:

[kiltedninja]

It also kills your brain... Nevermind, you don't have to worry.

[Dave Of The Dead]

I'm a psyche major, so therapy and and all that good psychological shit is all taken care of. I'd expect some good stress relieve would just come from getting on the room and popping a few zeds though.

[Bob]

I would think not unless it was done for sport and even then only if there was no pressure to win.

The problem with this thread is it calls for a two line answer at most.
For some a single word would suffice and so it tends to drift.

I'm resourceful and durable.

[Dave Of The Dead]

I always make people feel comfortable in whatever situation they're in. I don't know if it would work as well in an apocalyptic situation... but I think it would help.

[kiltedninja]

It's a good ability to have. I can do that sometimes, but not always. Just with my people.

Honestly, I don't think it's within gravity's power to kill me. Try as it might, it's failed four times out of the four times it's tried. So I imagine that's a skill in it's own right.

[homelitexl]

i can drink alot i used tobe able to run far til i stred smmoking so now i just drive whereveri go

If you still feel that way 60 to 90 days after the fall you can go with me.
If the Zombies come my meds will run out and I do not intend to go quietly.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

[homelitexl]

bob i dont intend to let the bastards take me alive and plan on takin a couple f them with me if im gonna go to hell im gonna take me some company

[Captain]

Being in a wooded or natural area, I specialize in forestry and wilderness survival. I can identify 90% of whats in any landscape, know whats safe to eat, fire making, shelter building, and survival in beautiful mother nature.

It helps a bit being a 6'5, 215lb rugby player. Ive got plenty of muscle to donate to the Z-Day survival cause.

[SuperJuggernaut13]

I can hunt, am a good shot, can make armor, good with needle and thread, know basic first aid, was a boy scout, and have basic outdoors survival practice. I can cook, field dress wild game and drag home the kill over my shoulder or with the help of my back up person. I offer already built armor, spare weapons, and the ability to suggest things to people thus helping them do it and work together as a team. I'd say I could serve as a good co leader or leader but if I had to i'd settle for less than that.

Five years of boxing is a unique skill on this site. Most people around here go for other martial arts. What weight class are you? I fight at welterweight, and have fought at lightweight.

I'm getting into Muay Thai now, as well as Kali and Jujitsu all at one place, classes are back to back. So I guess pretty soon I'm gonna have crazy endurance. Which mine is already pretty good, but it's about to get better.

I'm a Heavyweight at the moment, but Light Heavy, when I'm in the ring.

I've always wanted to do Jujitsu, but there are no classes where I live.. I've tried Muay Thai, but I think I need to be a little more flexible before I get very good. And the shin conditioning was crazy hard:scare:

There was two pro guys that I boxed with, and they both walked around at heavyweight, but fought at light heavy as well.

I'm already quite well conditioned for it surprisingly, from my karate classes, and my natural flexibility, as well as what I've maintained through some basic yoga, I'm still very flexible by standards of most men.

Don't worry Godzilla_rules, Hotlead keeps everyone safe from the dirty ol' zombies:shotg:____________________:zom2:

[kiltedninja]

my role was not on the poll. I will be the gal hiding behind the big man with the gun :lol:

Unfortunately, I don't fall into this role, since I'm neither very big, or armed with very big guns. As a matter of fact, I'm quite small for my height.

Ah, well, one less ass to watch, which could be a good or bad thing, depending on certain factors related to ass watching.

anyway, I'm pretty good at telling stories, and burning stuff.

Well Hotlead we seem to have a difference of opinion.

We should settle this like men.

My specialization: Hammers.

[homelitexl]

to streak is my new specialty

[Bob]

You know in all honesty I think my specialization would depend on the group I was with.
I have several skills and would probably do whatever I could do better than anyone else.
I would rather distill corn liquor than grow corn.
I would rather repair weapons than stand guard at night.
I would rather run a track hoe than a shovel.
I think you get the idea.

[Noc]

I've though of some more skills I have.

I can bake bread. (Worked at a bakery for a year)
And I can bone, fillet, etc, etc meat. (ex-apprentice butcher)

[kiltedninja]

I can entertain people, digest about anything that's put into my stomach, make my way through about any terrain, and generally break anything I get my hands on.

[rowdyrugby]

Security/Leadership. Did a few years in the military and am employed in Law Enforcement. I also have survival skills. By that I mean I can tell you what plants are edible and whatnot.

[Dezzoram]

Well, i can handle a gun and a knife. I wont say im a pro or anything, cuz im not. I can use a bow pretty well, better then a gun. I can hunt small game, never tried large game, but i know how. I can fix stuff pretty well, build stuff pretty well (bombs and shelters and such). Im decent with camouflage and spent most of my outdoors time in the woods. Im an Eagle Scout, so im a decent survivor. Ive been a leader for a fair chunk of my life. Im also a firefighter, so ive received a better-then-normal crash course in trying to put people back together again. Im not exactly in prime physical condition, but ive the willpower to go and keep going (gotta love those burning buildings,fun to work in!) I am a wiz with my mind. Not going to lie, ive a faster mind analytically then anybody i know, excepting my dad. Im doing my best toexplain it without bragging, but my mind works fast. Having said all that...Anybody got a clue which catagory i fit in?

Was the poll reset? cause I remember voting on it and I didn't pick leader/co-leader. Also, anybody else find it funny how 4 out of 7 people want to lead? No offense intended to anyone, but too many captains sink ships. I get the feeling that situation would end up like NOTLD with Coopers and Bens all around.

Its amazing the things one can build with a basic understanding of mechanics, chemistry, and common household items. I wont mention specifics, but its not too hard to make an RDX based explosive(used in some plastic explosives). The real challenge is conforming it to a method of deployment that is effective and relatively safe. Idiots make useless piles of dangerous chemicals..

It is a leader's job to lead, and a scout's job to scout. Neither requires you "get into the thick of things."

I never saw a "leader" within 10 miles of a FOB, and I never saw a scout at all since their job is to remain unseen.

I'm logistical and prefer to avoid situations rather than get into them. Unless there is another non-standard definition for these roles you're applying, I'm going by their relation to military specification.

And another comment like this... on this site is there a non-milspec definition of "leader" or "scout?" Leaders who lead from the front are targets. Scouts who "get into the thick of things" are either very bad at their jobs, or are acting in an infiltration role which would be mission specific. I don't see that happening in the apocalypse.

Funny. I saw leaders of all kinds both on and of the FOB. If a platoon leader isn't in the middle of things, he isn't leading. If a squad leader is somewhere in the rear, away from his troops, he isn't leading. Scouts find the enemy. Simple as that. They can't do it from a safe distance from behind the lines. Thata's the truth of it.

[mattifikation]

Cav, I think we might have found the only person on the Internet who's actually willing to admit that they're a spineless coward.

In addition to being a poor leader and a worthless scout.

[mattifikation]

You know what, let me make a few points for clarity's sake.

1. If you're the leader and all you do is demand that other people lay their necks on the line for you, without showing that you're willing to do the same for them... then you're going to be the leader for about 10 minutes before your entire group tosses you out and leaves you for dead. Thus, I call you a poor leader.

2. If you're a scout, then by definition you are the FIRST ONE going into a potentially dangerous area. You don't know where the bad guys are, so you aren't going to know where "300 yards away is" at all times. The only way you're going to be able to stay in your little comfort zone and be a scout is if you're scouting areas that are already known to be safe. Thus, I call you a worthless scout.

You have come up with this because I said I choose to stay 300 yards away from trouble?

FYI, while it's not Combat Control or anything... I was in the military for while I wasn't a scout I was in a leadership position and no one threw me on my ass ;)

There is a difference between a leader and a platoon/squad leader. What you're describing is squad structure. I'm referring to large group dynamic.

[LJHolcon]

If a squad leader is somewhere in the rear, away from his troops, he isn't leading. Scouts find the enemy. Simple as that. They can't do it from a safe distance from behind the lines. Thata's the truth of it.

Scouts find enemies alright. They don't "throw themselves into the thick of it."

And again, as I stated you're referring to squad based rank and file, not large group dynamic.

edit: Since when is 300 yards a "safe distance?" There isn't a single weapon short of an air rifle I'd like to be shot with at 300 yards.

If you're going to quote me at least do so properly. At no time did I use the phrase "Throw themselves..." No, I said a good leader would be in the thick of things, not throwing themselves at the enemy fololishly. There is a difference. I'm not talking about a small unit dynamic (you use the squad), but even larger. I've seen battalion commanders leading from the front and smack in the middle of the action. Hardly "squad based" I think you'd agree. Furthermore, you seem to be focused on a military type command structure when it's very doubtful that would be the case. Most likely, unless one were actually in the military at the time, it would be a group of civilians with possibly some military experience banded together to form the group. Those civilians would likely not cotton to a "do as I say, not as I do" leader or one who refused to share the burden.

As for 300 yards, that's about the max range of the M4 and pretty much beyond the capability of the AK.

Well... I can tell you the SPRs are hitting out to 500 (Hornady makes some 75gr loads that are slightly above ice-pick at that range) and while it's difficult to place the rounds with an open sight, the 7.62x39 still has enough energy to end someone's day at 300. And in my position (I'm not longer in the military but I am involved intimately with a defense contractor) short of immediate apocalypse I would be involved with at least 32 men I'd suspect.

I'm not sure where you were stationed but I never once saw a single bar, much less an Eagle in the thick (well an inspection once.) But then again, I was AF. We had air conditioned tents and internet ;)

[CAVU45]

I don't know if I'd go that far Matt. But I definately wouldn't want him for a leader from what I've seen so far. I've known more than a few who said pretty much the same, even while down range. It was like, "fvck that. I don't want to get shot at". While I can understand the sentiment (I didn't want to get shot at either), and I wouldn't call them cowardly, they weren't people I'd follow.

[LJHolcon]

Maybe I should clarify what I said. When I said "I prefer to stay 300 yards from threats" I mean that's the distance I feel most confident in engaging with my preferred weapons platform.

I use a scoped 1903a4, and it's likely the weapon I'd grab first if I knew I'd be part of a group. 300 yards is about the max most people I'd encounter could hit something at, and I'm more than confident in my ability to hit a target from there.

I said nothing about the round, but the weapon. And in many instances it's the operator who is the weak link. Saw it enough overseas. In my experience I saw O6s in the field quite often.

That's more understandable.

Keep in mind that zombies don't shoot back though, and a zombie 300 yards away is a zombie that's probably not going to be a problem. I know there are... uh, things that can be problematic within 300 yards... but it's against the rules here to talk about shooting at them.

Oops, I probably should have read the rules more closely. I was thinking broad-scope apocalypse. Well in that case, I retract my 300 yard statement!

At first I was thinking "What the hell? Who in their right mind would PREFER to be within 300 yards of a target in a combat environment?" But now I see that under the forum rules that isn't a consideration. I admit it. I'm the noob who didn't read the rules.

But I'm not assuming that about the person, jus making sure.:lol:

Oh and on the Leader/Scout thing, in a rag-tag bunch of civilian survivors I know I wouldn't be to willing to follow a guy who sat 300 yards away while I had to bash zombie face in.

If you had a good leader, you wouldn't have to get that close to begin with.

I don't care what sort of disaster/apocalypse it is. The plan should always be to avoid engagement unless mission protocol requires otherwise. Noise/light discipline should always be observed, and silent running the Modus operandi.

You guys are some aggressive Mo-fos up in here ;-)

True.

I don't even know who said that in the first place either, I was just saying if i was following a guy in ZPAW I would want him to do more then bark orders.

BUT, if he was smart sensible and kept us out of conflict like you were implying id have no problems with that.

I said it, but not because I would be "sitting 300 yards behind everyone," but because there's no reason I'd see putting men in that situation. That's what scopes are made for.
