But the term "undead people" could refer to any number of different types of undead, not just zombies...

Does anyone know the root cause of this outbreak? Virus, chemical agent, voodoo, etc?

Heretics, blasphemers, and criminals. So I'm going to go with voodoo...

Yeah, it was my fault. Sorry.

My nations' Organization For Undead Citizens Killed In Terror will be holding a memorial service to honor the fallen, post Zombocalypse.

Freezing them slows them, and can stop them entirely, but without extremely low temperatures which are difficult to obtain in controlled, large areas will not cause any permanent damage.

Also, you must have had some bad flame. What color did it burn?

Clearly the spirits of the dead have become unsettled and are attempting to exact their unholy revenge.

WITCHCRAFT! WE MUST BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!

I did the math on this and luckily did not hurt myself in the process:

Undead=Not dead

Not dead=Alive

Zombies=Undead=Alive

So therefore Zombies are living creatures.

Ceardia wrote:Not dead=Alive

Not necessarily, they could be neither alive nor dead.

Reanimate does not imply life, it implies a restart of previously stopped processes.

Dead: no longer living; not endowed with life; inanimate

Good old religion.

That's actually a quote from the movie "Dawn of the dead"

Yep. Sorry, chyrium.

The oldest modern zombie film.

Actually, that would be Night of the Living Dead

but wouldn't corpse reanimation have a downfall of itself too? i mean there's rigor mortis, if we keep the citizen locked up protected wouldn't zombies die by itself? especially if that country is hot they'll start to die out and then it's only a matter of time right?

Read Max Brooks' The Zombie Survival Handbook. Then ask any remaining questions.

Is this from the same guy who says that tanks are useless against zombies yet crowbars are perfectly fine?

Maybe. But let's be honest, an average civilian trying to single handedly operate a tank would be pretty dang ineffective, and a group of them wouldn't be much better. While everyone knows how to swing a crowbar.

Movie or book? I haven't read or seen it, but I'm pretty sure he didn't market the book as a true story. I'll check on that, though.

Also, if it enters and leaves without causing any damage to the important parts of a zombie (namely, the head), yeah, it'd be ineffective.

book, and A 120mm sabot hitting you is going to both overpenetrate and tear you in half if your lucky, he had it literally do absolutely nothing to zombies.

Well, a story is a story. Sorry if you base all of your opinions on one thing in a horror novel that doesn't fit the reality you inhabit, and are unable to look beyond.

..... I was just nitpicking, it's a fine book, I just happen to like nitpicking at everything.

Then don't do it around me. I can't resist an argument.

Anyway, our discussion has taken up enough of the region chat. Anyone else wanna talk?

I am hoping to make a sort of Switzerland place where every citizen is required to have military training and immediate enrolment in service if attacked or another major crisis

Good luck getting the right issues to make that happen in a timely manner.

I think that the outer countries should take military actions providing time for inner countries to fund for a cure

Hey guys, check out my new flag

Yeah, It turned out pretty well for being made in ten minutes on MSpaint

Wow, really? Good job, then!

OMG WHAT ABOUT ZOMBIES I HAVE NO MILITARY OMG

I've been thinking of joining a International Incident RP, should I wait a while before trying?

Kimochi, just research the cure! We'll save everyone!

Kimochi wrote:OMG WHAT ABOUT ZOMBIES I HAVE NO MILITARY OMG

Extra target practice for the rest of us =)

Send your most useful humans to Skanes and we will see if they are cleared to enter our beloved country

How do you get a millitary anyways?

There is no actual military force. It is a number that nationstates generates based on your decisions in regards to certain issues.

i see... one choice can turn you into an all powerful army and one into a country with no defense at all... interesting

Well, not just one. Several different issues can add or remove "funding" to the military. No single choice will make or break your military.

ah i see, so if you want your country to develop a certain way, you'll need to choose your choices so it moves towards your goal. right?

Yes. That would be the idea behind the issues.

i see, how does war and negotiations work then?

Salax or Caerdia or one of the other, more experienced players can explain that to you

Every time I try to start a new topic on the Citizenship Application board in the forum, I get the message " You do not have permission to start a topic in this forum.

Error Code: 13002:6010728 ". Can anyone help?

Have you joined the forum? As in, created an account and signed in?

I've been using the link on this page. there does not seem to be a "sign in" or "register" button when i get there.

scratch that. done now thanks. :)

Are we all prepped and bunkered down?

My people are going to frolic freely in our forests and hope for the best.

We intend to negociate with the zombies.

Close the borders guys!

and prepare the cientists! XD

You can't negotiate with mindless reanimates. Especially not carophages.

WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!

Well, I'm not, but the rest of you might.

TWO HOURS TILL OUR DEATHS!

I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE!

What time is it in your timezone?

Saxophonistan wrote:Very precise.

Thank you

as long as everyone puts in research for a cure

Know what a good tactic for bringing a region down in the rankings would be? Wait until there;s only one or half a minute left, then invade before they put the password up. Then all the invaders submit to the zombies, and that region plummets.

WE'RE ALL DEAD!

Cure roll-call. Me.

Research a cure, everyone! We can get through this! WE CAN SURVIVE!!!

However, if this goes extremely badly, I'm shifting to kill. But only if, say, half of the region becomes infected.

I'm researching a cure :)

Cure. Everyone Cure.

-Tim (Founder) Puppet

People have already bypassed your security.

eh. 23 minutes into the end of the world and I feel fine.

Tim's moving in a bunch of puppets to all research a cure. They should be a big help.

Looking for the cure

Defilement, don't switch to killing even if half the region is infected! We need to find a cure; if we do, we can turn them all back!

Not even if three quarters or more is infected?

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

I'm signing off for a while. Be back soon-ish.

Nope. Not even then. The ones that are left might be the scientists hiding in bunkers researching!

Continue Curing, Comrades.

That's a lot of puppets, Tim.

Not yet it isn't. :P

*Graces for more puppets*

researching cure, I hope this works.

SO MANY TIMS! If the zombies don't take over then the Tims will.
