One Line Survival And Defense Tips

[Leeboy]

Travel in pairs.
Never go unarmed.
Wear protection.
Move as quietly as possible.
Stay hidden.
If someone around you is bitten, kill them.

that seems gd, but i would travel in 3s, have simple but only blades and clubs 9i live in uk), wear protection as im limited to close combat, move when needed, stay cloak and dagger style and shoot anybody even with a scatch from a zombie

[Leeboy]

Sounds efficient to me.

Don't drink the water
Always look for an adam's apple
If it burns when you pee, get penicilin

Thanks for those pearls of wisdom dad!

Also: Stay away from the cities
Avoid alleys
Keep track of your rounds
Dry your socks each day

Um...cry? eep,I'd be helpless. I'm only 5'3 and three quarters though so I'd be pretty good at hiding.So ummm tips...heh. Blast the shit out of em :D!

*Make sure your vehicle is in good running condition
*Never trust a military person
*Always have a melee weapon with your guns
*Only loot what's necessary (except maybe a CD or 2)
*Only kill an infected person if they want to die (and stay dead, I mean)
*And check out every room, shadow and crevice in a place you plan to hold up in

[Slash Maraud]

Prepare Now
Too much is never enough
Failing to plan is planning to fail
Not if, when
Fortify, Fortify, Fortify
Multiple concentric rings of defense
Clear fields of fire
If you can’t use it to kill or eat it, its useless
Never open the door if you hear a sound
Nothing is secure unless you have secured it yourself (this means that the room, building, house etc is not clear of hostiles unitl you have cleared it)

• Don't split up the group.

• Don't be the funny guy, the funny guy always dies first.

• The slutty girl always dies too, but I ain't saying don't be slutty

• There's always a zombie behind the closed door.

• If you look under a bed for the zombie, he'll be on top when you come back up, so don't look under beds.

if you're carrying a six-gun, don't shoot at a crowd of seven.

Never, ever, EVER go "down there to check things out."

...unless you can line them up like in "Quigley Down Under"...

[mattifikation]

*If you absolutely MUST find out "what's down there," send the angry jerk who thinks he should be the boss to check it out. (He doesn't die until just before the end)

[Leeboy]

As much as I hate to say it, never start making out with a hot girl. You will DIE.

[Augustus Desius]

Keep your blades sharp, and your wits sharper.
When in doubt, shoot it again.
Silence before violence.
Avoid all conflicts.
When avoidence fails, make an escape.
When hunting, always use the right bait.
NEVER enter without a cetain and safe exit.
Stay well nurished and well rested.

I have a list of things NOT to do that would normally be seen in movies and other places. Most of these will probably get you killed faster.

1. Wearing a sword on your back.
No! Even though it is easier to move around with a sword on your back, it is near impossible to draw it from your back. Now I have long arms and I can't do it with my own replica katana. It might work with something that is about a foot long, but not a 3 ft piece of steel.
2. Dual wielding just about anything is a good idea
Again, NO! If you dual wield pistols, swords, even rifles, then you have a major disadvantage to your aim. You are not Rambo! Swords might look really cool, I mean they did it in God of War... but, it is very clumsy and you will die.
3. Go ahead and jump out of that second story window to save your life
I'd rather not. During the zombie apocalypse, you want to be in the best of health. A twisted ankle or fracture can impair your movement and even end your life indirectly.
4. Blow sh*t up!
Okay, but it you want to burn down your HQ and even possible raiding sites, I would think otherwise. It also might kill you!
5. Yell "Die pond scum!" at the top of your lungs!
Yes, it is dramatic and awesome, but you have to realize that a zombie has no idea what you're saying. Intimidation is impossible and all you're doing is attracting more undead to your position.

Any more?
