A good leader doesn't get his men into a position where it's an issue.

Not true. A good leader can't determine the circumstances for his men, only lead them through it to the successful completion of the mission. I can't imagine any leader refusing to assault an objective because it's too dangerous. He would make sure his men are highly trained and well equipped, giving them every advantage to make it through the upcoming action. And a good leader would be there with his men.

[CAVU45]

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 ;-)

No plan is perfect and engagement is always a possibility. While noise/light discipline and stealth may work in one scenario, speed and aggression would be the key to success in another. Different missions, different plans. The only guarentee in combat is that the intel will be wrong.

"A plan violently executed today is better than a plan perfectly executed a week from now" or however good ol' Patton said it. I'de want to be the co-leader as usual, I like to be in control of situations. If I ever chose to go into a building with my men, I'de want to be first in. To make sure that I'm the one that gets it if I screw up, and to show the men I'm deserving of the position. As well as I would just want to be the first one in so no one else screws up and gets bit.

[Bob]

Wanting to be a leader and thinking you would be a good leader does not mean you WOULD be a good leader.

[mattifikation]

If everyone's a leader, who are the followers? *watches all the kiddies shout "not me!"*

I'd probably end up being some kind of mercenary.

[Faran Brigo]

@Matt - That's exactly what I thought. I wouldn't mind being a follower, honestly, most of what I know is technical, not combat related anyways

[Noc]

I said co-leader because I would want my decisions counted, but in a ZPAW with a bunch of survivors everyone would be a kind of co-leader. So I'd probably be a tag-along, I'd pull my, help kill, cook, build, and fix. But I'd put myself first in the survival part.

If me and another survivor were running from a horde of the undead, they tripped and to save them I had to risk my life... Sorry but your a corpse, because real life wouldn't be like the movies the guy who put himself first would survive the hero would die for no reason.

[the_velociraptor]

I'd be that one guy who annoys everyone else and is killed by zombies halfway through because he couldn't shut his yap.

(( Ssrsly. All I know is basic first aid. ))

[Bob]

In my version of the ZPAW if you are annoying you will be dead unless you have some special skill I value more than your life.

Does anyone know the correct term for a group of Zombies?

Herd = Cattle
Murder = Crows
Gaggle = Geese

Here is a hint, it's actually an acronym.

[IncaWarrior]

I'm an auto mechanic,served in the USMC as a Motor T mechanic. Pretty decent with a rifle and handgun. I have basic survival skills. I'm in excellent overall shape with years of hand to hand combat training. I guess that pretty much sums it up.

[ShotGunGuy93]

I'm VERY knowledgeable when it comes to firearms. If I see a 1911 I say "hey look a 1911" not "oMg no ways iTs a colt 45!!1"

I own alot of firearms (see signiature)

[Patrickwontsurvive]

I am an ok shot and have basic first aid training but I am definitely not medic material. I would probably be a follower because I am usually an agreeable person. however I do have a mind of my own and wont follow someone blindly if their idea sucks. If someone tells me to go search a building that we don't need to and its a risky looking situation I am going to tell said person where they can stick their "orders". Since I am a lot bigger and stronger (powerlifter and strongman competitor) than most people I will probably be serving double duty as "pack mule" as well. :x

[Birdman44]

Well, while were on the subject of listing what kinds of stuff we can do: I can shoot rifles (muzzle loaders, semi auto, bolt action, lever action), pistols (and revolvers), shotguns (pump action, semi auto, and O/U), and compound bows well. I just got cpr certified and am learning the minimal basics to first aid at the time. I'm not that bad with being strong (stronger than all of my friends), but I sure as hell ain't the fastest and I don't have the most endurance either.. I wouldn't give an order that I wouldn't be willing to do, and I would probably prefer doing it myself anyways, e.g.- searching houses, clearing stores, moving.

As to what matt said, I wouldn't mind being a follower to someone I trusted, but if it's following someone that I know wouldn't be good for a situation then I would just be there for myself, I wouldn't listen to them unless I deam it as a good Idea myself..

[angekfire]

I'd probably be a co-leader or guard. I have some fat on me, but not enough to be a hinderance, and I am pretty active regardless. I do kickboxing, Mantis kung-fu, chinese martial arts weapons, and fencing. I've studied european bastard sword & shield tactics, and Kenjutsu. I will be continuing to learn new weapons as time goes on, probably in spring I will start learning either staff, or chinese straight sword. Over the summer I am considering learning some Krav Maga. I'm the best person among my group of friends with melee armed combat. I am generally pretty decent with combat tactics as well.

I'm a pretty fast runner, but only for very short bursts due to asthma (but strong leg muscles). I've got endurance and can outlast most of the people I know in general physically straining activity.

I am a capable cook I suppose. It won't taste great, but it isn't going to make you sick.

[kiltedninja]

I'm fast and have the endurance of an ox, so I could move all day long. And I'm a climber, there's very little I can't climb.

I'm also a fairly skilled wood builder, If given the means of building something out of wood(tools, supplies, space, etc...) then I'm going to build whatever I need to. I'm also good at improvising.

[unnamedbaby77]

I would be comfortable as engineer/cook/soldier/scout/medic

[kiltedninja]

Being a scout is something I'd be able to do given that I can keep myself in one piece. I'm an experienced climber and a good runner, and I'm good at hiding on the fly.

I'm proud of you, I truly am.

You may own a lot of firearms and know what specific model this gun or that gun may be, but all that knowledge is mostly irrelevant in a critical, life-threatening situation. The skills fostered through constant training with weapon systems you are familiar with are far more crucial in keeping you alive at the end of the day.

[kiltedninja]

I'm proud of you, I truly am.

Someone had to say it DC, I'm glad it didn't have to be me.

[Patrickwontsurvive]

Yeah but can you hit the toilet?

My specialty? I would be the only one to remember toilet paper and as such would be treated like a god. Thats how it was when I went wildland firefighting too.

[kiltedninja]

Man I forgot toilet paper on my last backpacking trip. That sucked.

[Darkness]

"I'm willing to bet, that 90% of the women remember to bring it." ;-) :lol:

[kiltedninja]

"I'm willing to bet, that 90% of the women remember to bring it." ;-) :lol:

Forgetting toilet paper is a guy thing. We forget it all the time. Women, never(or very rarely).

[Genocide X]

I am a good leader

I am a tactition and strategists.

Concealement is a specialty of mine

I know alot of zombie survival techniques and new ones that many people havent thought of

I am a long distance runner... Ive been known to run 12 Kilometres in about an hour

I can handle a blade fairly well.

Im an edurance expert

Time managment expert

and many others

and Ive been told that Im very smart too

[Genocide X]

I forgot to mention a couple of things

I am quite familiar with some strong psychology

I am knowledgable of the human anatomy

I know the environment pretty well.

I dont fear quickley as others.

I am not a bad shot with a rifle

ahnd to hand combat is a good quality

persuasive skills

Grade A student...

Athletic

[kiltedninja]

Minor spelling errors, but aside from that the list seems pretty advanced. Where did you get those skills though? It could be said that I'm a good tactician but I haven't learned them anywhere, so what good are they?

What do you count as fairly skilled with a blade? A chef is fairly skilled with a blade, a person who carves a stick into a chess piece is fairly skilled with a blade.

What do you mean by 'strong psychology'? that term makes no sense to me at all. I know about some psychology, because I'm taking it at school. Can you tell me about classical conditioning and how Pavlov figured out how it works?

[angekfire]

I also don't think persuasive skills, being a grade A student, or having "strong psychology" (not even sure what that means) are very effective against zombies either.

And yes, I could tell you about Pavlov and his dogs, but I'm not the one making that claim.

[Dark Comic]

What do you count as fairly skilled with a blade? A chef is fairly skilled with a blade, a person who carves a stick into a chess piece is fairly skilled with a blade.

Indeed, as a cook I am rather skilled with blades of many different shapes (We have a habit of dicing tomatoes with a cleaver at work). I feel very comfortable holding one, and like swinging them around. Can I fight with them? I doubt it, and would rather use a bat/crowbar/lead pipe than find out.

[kiltedninja]

I particularly liked that question because I'm a decent knife fighter and I work in a kitchen, so I'm skilled in two ways with a blade.

Genocide, don't feel like this is personal either, we do this to everyone.

[mattifikation]

I cut my fücking thumb while cleaning my knife the other day. I am apparently not skilled with a blade. Incidentally, if you're ever in the market for a pants-shittingly sharp pocket knife, the Smith & Wesson SWAT assisted opener is great.

[homelitexl]

surgeon or prefeshunal smoker

[mattifikation]

c0ck smoker. :lol:

i kid!

[homelitexl]

give me cigaretes and a scalpil and im good

[Darius]

Im good at staying quiet and unseen (stealth) im also pretty good at making plans like how to escape places and stuff if it wasnt for my escape plan me and my buddies would have got our asses kicked hard last friday by a far greater number of assholes. I guess im just good at keeping me and others out of trouble.
