Originally by: Usagi Toshiro So are we to assume that CCP HQ has a stockpile of Pizza and Mt. Dew to keep the Devs running in the event of a full scale Zombie invasion? How much have they stored up, how long can they last before sending an intern out for a supply run?
A supply run invites the opporunity of the virus getting into CCP itself.... Better arm that intern with your biggest Anti-Zombie Nerf guns!
OMG! The beer! What about the beer?
I suggest that CCP implement a training program right now that begins an apprenticeship for each of their devs in the art of brewing beer. I mean... if Iceland is going to be the last bastion of civilization in the event of a zombie invasion, there must be beer! Otherwise, how can you call it civilization?
There's a few abbeys here in Belgium that might take on an apprentice or two.
Good lord! I can't believe we made it this far into this thread without this point being raised. I propose that the first order of business that the CSM takes on is the immediate review of the CCP Zombie Incursion Continuity Training Manual.
Everyone knows that the true yardstick of civilization is the brewers stick. Sheesh people. Must I think of everything?

Originally by: Helen Hunts Zombies + fire = Marshmallow & stick time
again: the only thing worse then a zombie trying to eat your brain, is a zombie trying to eat your brain WHILE ON FIRE. you need something with splash damage, yes. but cut out the fire.
in other news: i love this thread. :D
If you're waiting until the zombies are that close, a shotgun is better suited. (or a chainsaw) Phosphor rounds are for distant targets, not up close. The idea is start the fires way out there so that when they finally die/re-die due to fire, they're not a hazard. Snipers FTW, eh? _______________________________

Funnily enough I got it given to me yesterday for my birthday.
It's required reading at my company.* My copy is sitting on my desk at this very moment in fact.

I'm just happy that here in Tucson, AZ we're completely safe from zombie attacks. Should a horde of the nasty beasties ever come here they'll quickly dwindle in numbers from lack of nutrition and move on.

I did a year and half there with the 57th FS. That wiki article is kind of funny in that those 15s in the first pic aren't even Kef tails. HH is Hickam AFB, Hawaii. Weather is just a tad different there.
Anyway, to put us back on track, the skies over Iceland were kept clear of all airborne zombie attacks during my stay.

If there is a Class 3 outbreak anywhere in the world except Iceland, CCP should immediately declare a mandatory fanfest, and provide free transportation for all players.
In the event that the Class 3 outbreak is contained, everybody has a great time.
In the event that it goes to Class 4, CCP will have at its disposal a sizeable army, many of whom have experience taking orders in battle. An organized force of 200,000 people, all of whom have been briefed on how to kill zombies, should be more than enough to secure Iceland. Furthermore, I imagine that a disproportionate number of players have practical skills related to industry or technology. Even if the servers in London are lost, it might be possible to rebuild the servers in Reykjavik. This comes after Iceland's infrastructure is established.
Meanwhile, the newly formed Icelandic navy institutes a defense policy based on those of 0.0 alliances - NBSI. The only ships that should be trusted outright would be naval vessels of any friendly nations. Ships of unknown origin will not be fired upon immediately, but will be required to follow instructions of naval vessels. At minimum, all ships must undergo a 48-hour quarantine to ensure that the ship is free of infection.
Scientific research into zombies must continue. In my opinion, the effect that zombies have on animals bears study. I say in all seriousness that if sharks that a) could safely consume zombie flesh and b) rather than fleeing zombies, hunted them down, could be created, that would do wonders for security. If they could be equipped with frickin laser beams, all the better.
Finally, regular patrols will be set up to scout for zombies. Cold climates are vulnerable to recurring attacks, as zombies can lie dormant for years, even centuries. Similarly, there is the constant danger of zombies washing ashore. ____________________________________ Caldari by birth, Minmatar by citizenship.

This sounds pretty good but I see one major problem. How would Iceland get the food required to sustain an additional 200,000 people for an unknown but probably extended period of time.

Originally by: CCP Gangleri
Military assets have not been deemed necessary so far, we will all have to fend for ourselves and the strongest will prevail.
Indeed only the strongest will survive the mass onslaught that is the zombie Incursion, but what about those outside Iceland/CCP?
So what are you going to do when the undead start to awake and starts eating up the town, are you just going to sitback and let the foul little devils turn you into man sushi?
Well fear not, follow my simple "self help" guide to surviving the forthcoming Zombie invasion and feel safe in the knowlage that you have an increased 1 in 1874 chance of surviving after following this short tutorial.
1- Know thy enemy....
What the hell is a Zombie? A zombie is a fella who's karked it, much like Princess Di, and then is reanimated, athough not reanimated as in a restored copy of Disney's Bambi, but rather its come back to life. Its probibly well known that zombies love the taste of man flesh and in particular the sweet sweet meat contained within your skull. In rescent testing at the Canberra Institute of Zombie Dynamics it was found that 8 out of 10 zombies will actually go staight for your head, biting at the neck area trying to release head from shoulders in a vain attempt to keep the best part for themselves, so they dont have to share it with their zombie friends. The best protection from this form of attack is actually a 1900's brass diving helmet, and of course a scarf (prefribly made of wool) as its well known zombs wont eat anything other than man, so the taste of sheep will probably put it off.
Ironically a zombies weakest point is its own head, infact the only way to dispatch a zomb is to destroy its cerabellum which im told is part of the brain, if your unsure where in its brain it is located, its highly reccomended to just keep mashing away at it with your weapon of choice until it stops "twitching".
2- Home defence...
While your nations armies are off having fun on the mass zomb shoot, how can you defend yourself at home? Well a deep moat around your home is a good idea, as are a band of headshooting archers, and pots of boiling oil above your parapits. however it has come to my attention that some people outside of the England find it hard to aquire these particular items. So I guess a fence made of pointy sticks or something will keep them at bay. flimsy boards nailed across windows also help. Also I have been told by some americans that guns are great for defending your home. for those that dont have guns/Archers I suggest running like ****.
3- On the run...
Inevitably at some point your home will be infested by the foul zombs, and so you will have to go "on the run" dont be dismayed if your a couch potatoe though, it does not mean you will actually have to run, you can take your car and as a plus factor fuel will probibly be free, assuming the gas station isnt on fire, which they unfortunatly usually are in such circumstances.
also when on the run I reccomend taking the following items....
Packed lunch,beer,pack of mintoes incase of car sickness, toilet paper, cos you never know if your picking up the right kinda leaf. spare socks,passport,mithril shirt,a long stick,first aid kit,fellowship of the ring,beer, and of course an "eyespy" book.
4- Getting Help after Being infected...
NEVER trust a zombie, not even if its an old lady zomb trying to cross the street and her shopping bag has split open, spilling her load of gibs across the road, give her the chance and she'll be munching on your face like theres no tommorow.
If a Zombie bites you - and I'm not going to mince my words - you're ******,
So there you have it, a basic simple guide to surviving against all odds, I reccomend printing this guide, and perhaps laminating it to prevent perishing when it gets soaked in the inevitble fountains of blood that will follow.

Dear CCP and EvE goers:
I represent the PFFTOZL The people for the fair treatment of zombie life. I am writing to say that I find this anti-zombie rhetoric wholly distasteful. There is no need to persecute innocent zombies simply because your respective governments were not capable enough to prevent them from shambling amok. Let us take into consideration the simplistic nature of zombies versus the inordinate level of human stupidity. I am certain once compared you will agree that the zombies are the lesser of the two evils.
In every instance where a person is zombificated, pre-zombie pandemic, that is to say during the initial stages of zombie release. There is generally speaking a single source. A patient zero, who despite clear warning to stay away from the nasty cranial consumer decides that it is perhaps in their best interest to walk right up to the poor helpless un-dead creature and poke it with a stick.
Such blatant acts of provocation against otherwise well intentioned zombies can only lead to immediate reprisal from such simple creatures. One would not strike a dog or cat in such a manner unfit for civilized people how can one justify the blatant disregard for the civil liberties of non sentient human corpses?
I would plead with you rather than encourage your user base to engage in such hateful and biggoted anti-zombie sentiments that you would instead encourage them to treat zombies with the care and respect deserving of all lesser creatures. Sincerly yours.

Originally by: Helen Hunts Zombies are not covered under the Geneva Convention, so your NATO FMJs are not the most potent round available. Load up with something that does lots of splash and leaves great gaping holes upon exit. Hollow-points, Hydrashoks, and wad-cutters all work well. If you can find phosphor rounds someplace, you may want a few replacement barrels handy, but you'll really burn through the dead. Literally.
Zombies + fire = Marshmallow & stick time
I'm not gonna explain wound ballistics of military FMJ rounds in detail but let me tell you this: The military has found a way around the Geneva Convention rules against soft or hollow tipped projectiles a long time ago.
The 7.62mm NATO round starts tumbling almost instantly once it enters tissue. This tumbling and the fact that it has a ring shaped predetermined breaking point at its tail causes the bullet to fragment after a few inches of penetration.
It's really the best of both realms... I know, zombies in body armor are rare but IF an infection affects military personnel you'd be in serious trouble with your JHP or wad cutter rounds.

I'm not that worried about CCP.
The extensive training in the BERZERKERÖ Viking Fighting Arts that all Scandinavian males take up at the age of 3, is proven to be the best anti zombie fighting system.

My corp believes CCP's Icelandic zombie readiness is a clear indication that they fully expect an outbreak may occur - which makes sense due to the ongoing development of the World of Darkness MMO in Atlanta. After all, everyone knows necromancers start with zombies long before moving to vampires. So it only makes sense that CCP would prepare the homeland in the event that things go wrong in Atlanta.

It's really the best of both realms... I know, zombies in body armor are rare but IF an infection affects military personnel you'd be in serious trouble with your JHP or wad cutter rounds.
In battle, it's better to wound than to kill. You get rid of two guys if one has to carry the other one away... At least that's a theory I heard once about standard NATO ammo.
But who cares? Because everyone knows that the best weapons for fighting zombies are: - A cricket bat - A shovel - A double barrel shotgun (if it's only a single barrel, throw it away) - A fire axe - A chainsaw arm - A crowbar (or depending on location, a humungous pipe wrench)
Also sometimes handy: - A bazooka - A turbo-charged dune buggy with a lazer mounted on it - An anti-grav gun capable of hurling Big Ben dumpsters - A pool cue - A magnet crane with freight container attachment - An armored bus with snowplow frontend - One of those giant Rambo knives (but that's really just about looking cool) - A nuclear warhead strapped to a four-wheeler - Old ABBA records

Very true. That's why Nato prefers the 5.56 to the 7.62. The 7.62 tends to pass straight through a body, while the 5.56 prefers to tear it up. A 7.62 will hardly make a zombie blink; a 5.56 will make it pause for a second before coming after you. It's best to use a 5.56 to slow it down long enough to hit it with your cricket bat in order to finish the job.
