Alright, the purpose of this thread is to explain as much knowledge about the zombie to help clear some things up. As I have noticed in multiple threads that people mis-understand zombies.
Brief Summary Zombies are reanimated corpses, thats a given. They feel no pain, no remorse, no emotions, only hunger. When a person turns into the undead, all memory is erased from the mind, all sense of humanity is also gone. Hunger is their only drive as they "need" to feed. From many zombie movies, zombies basically attack a person and devour them. It has been said in one zombie movie, Night of the Living Dead, I believe, that zombies are never not hungry, as they are dead. Movement Zombies are quite slow compared to an average person. They move as if their whole body was made of jello. Zombies were shown to always have their arms extended out, this is only so when they see a food source, as if they are reaching out to it. At close range a zombie is very agressive, due to the extreme hunger. Also zombies cannot run, due to their damaged bodies, it has been said, even seen, that zombies can move fast, but only up to maybe a joggers pace. Zombies are very combat effective creatures. Say if you shot at its right shoulder, and knocks the right of its body back, the zombie immediantly throws his left side forward and recorvers from the blow of the shot. They can take many blows to the body, and rarely will anyone of them stop the zombie in its tracks or slow down its movement, unless it's leg is blow off or something. Even if the zombie falls from a couple of shots, they continue after their target by dragging their body across the ground. Most of the time they will rise to their feet again, but if their legs are damaged enough, they will crawl for the remainder of their existence. In the presence of food they move violently towards it which ups their speed a little and they become more agressive. Zombies have a strange sense of balance, they almost never fall over unless something promotes it. Scientific Explination The zombies from many movies made based on them, were mostly reanimated because of a biological or chemical weapon. Most of those biological or chemical weapon are based on the reanimation of dead cells within the body. As the body dies, all of it's functions cease, and the cells die rapidly causing more and more dead cells to be reanimated. Basically, the T virus, along with others from various movies, rebuilt the cellular structure of the being resulting in a zombie. And it's been said that zombies need to feed or they will die. As the red queen said in the first Resident Evil movie. If they go without food for a month, they will die. Also it has been said, and proven, by game standards, that certain types of humans have different mutations. All of that is dependant on the person, but so far it's mainly dependant on how the body reacts to the biological or chemical weapon. A Few More Things about Zombies It's been said or theorized that when a corpse is reanimated, it's previous senses are highted beyond normal comprehension. This is unknown, but has been close to be passed as true as many examples, from the movies, that zombies can sense flesh miles away. Also the fact that a zombie does not attack another zombie, which further baffles scientists. Which further puzzles scientists is a zombies strength. At close range a zombie is quite strong which makes it difficult to break out of their grapple. Zombies also have a tendancy of being "deactivated." They appear to be a dead corpse laying on the ground, mostly face down, showing no threat and they will "activate" when they sense food. Finally, the main thing all zombies have in common, their moans. Their moans are horrifying to those of the living, enough to send a shock down your spine. They moan as if they are craving food, which they are. Combat Effectiveness Zombies are very combat effective. Even though they lack intelligence and mobility they are still effective warriors. They are very weak at long rang, but in close quaters they are almost unstoppable. Their attacks are basic, Biting, clawing, grappling, and lunging. Biting is their most used attack as it is how they feed. Their bite is very deadly and painful as they are agressive at close quaters in the presence of food. Clawing is another attack which they use, which when their in arms reach of a person they will attempt to grab the person and sometimes in that attempt the zombie will scratch the person. Grappling is used as much as biting is, when they get close enough to a prey they will reach out and grab them. Lunging is basically a combinatoin of bitting and grappling. They mostly lung at a prey when they are laying on the ground and attempt to bite their legs. One thing I forgot to mention is their viral infection. A simple scratch or bite is enough to affect a target with the viral infection. A Little More about Viral Infections Viral infections are mostly aflicted when a zombie or affected organism bites a living organism. Scratching is also enough to pass on the viral agent on to the victim. If someone is infected try to keep an eye on them, and keep your distance from them. As there is no cure for the infection and after a few hours he/she will turn into the undead. It's been said that amputating the infected part will stop the growth of the viral infection but it is still unknown of it's effectiveness. The victim will go through a various number of symptoms: 1: The victim will start feeling tired. 2: The victim will start sweating excessively. 3: He/She will appear as if they are sick and have a high fever. 4: Soon after the victim will have difficulty moving. 5: The victim will start feeling very hungry, and the previous symptoms seem to go away. 6: The victim will develop a cold like cough. 7: The victim will start feeling hot and itchy. 8: Victim will lose sanity and start forgetting how to spell, speak properly, etc. 9: Skin will start falling off. 10: The victims scrating will start being violent to where he/she bleeds and skin is torn off. 11: Almost all intelligence is gone, all sanity is lost. 12: Victim will continue being very hungry and eating excessively, anything he/she can find. 13: The victim will pass out and soon after reanimate as the undead. Final Summary Zombies seem to be reacting on human primal instincts. They hunt when they are hungry and attack with their most primitive weapons in their arsenal, teeth, finger nails, hands, etc. If you look at a zombies eyes, you can see that nothing is going on in their head, as it is still being determined if a zombies brain is dead. It is still under questioning of a zombie itself is dead at all, most scientist believe that the corpse itself is the only thing that is reanimated. But others believe that the mind is reanimated along with many of the mental fuctions. This took me a long ass time to write, if it's in the wrong forum, please move it to the appropriate one, as I am knew to these forums. I based all this off of movies and my own personal belief, I do have much more information but I figured what I typed up so far will be enough. Peace |

Lol, tbh this doesn't have much to do with bb only zombies.
It's like going to a cs forum and going on about hostage situations lol. Gd post though m8. Hmmm alot of that seems to me like speculation. This post has been edited by Blue Summer on February 21, 2005 08:28 pm -------------------- This is what Ive said for the past couple months every time has requested source: BB source is highly unlikely because the mod team (Ironoak) has decided to use the crystal engine to create an rpg, although they have said there is a small chance of going to source but please, for the sake of all mankind, do not request a port and/or create polls, or even useless threads about the porting of BB, because it is most likely not going to happen, thank you for reading.

It took me almost an hour and a half, Had to do a lot of thinking. Would of took me much longer if I typed up everything I thought of. I know it's mostly about zombies instead of BrainBread, but that was what I was aiming for. thanks.

With the exact same flaw, a quantifier was not expressly stated so an absolute was implied. Which allows the whole thing to be disproved with my lovely Multiverse theory. Of course, prefixing the word "some" before every word "zombie(s)" will allow it to be true. That aside, this zombie theory is based entirely on fiction, unlike Renegade's, which is based just about completely on fact. I'm inclined to believe in Renegade's work rather than the work of Hollywood script writers and producers and the interpetation of said films. One more thing I would like to add:
I find it hard to misunderstand a general, fictional concept. Another person's view is different, not wrong. I'd also like to note that my above statement does not hold true in the Suggestions Forum.  -------------------- BB Maps I've made...

Immoral Sniper, shut UP about your damn multiverse theory, Because everything happening in this world is multiverse.If something odds out in a... one in a hundred cases in our universe, it may odd up 100% in another. . . In one universe, you are adoring every idea that pops up, and you have the nick 'the idea hugger'. scary...
so, all theories can be explained with 'In THIS, not in other universes, blablabla' since alternate universes has no possibility to interfere with eacother. If you don't behave, I will have to kill you in my story  Please dont give me a spam citation (Or i will have to kill you more grotesque in my story )If you don't get alternate universe or multiverse theory, read a short story by Arthur C. Klarke, dont remember the name. It tells the story of a policeman investigating several murders and suicides around his city. It all began when someone invented a machine that could travel between the alternate universes. People began killing and committing suicide, sice it didn't matter. Another one was still alive, in another universe, right? So finally, the policeman shoots himself. (Theory in practice: When you walk around, or run , or stand whatever in your world, you meet choices all the time. Should I quit my job? Shoud i buy that thing? should I... With every choice, another universe is made where you do it, and another where you don't. Since there are 6 bill. people on the planet, all making choices, the ammount of universes expand all the time, in an infinite stream.) Maybe I should just get over with it and kill you in the story, and shut up about theories way above my comprehension level... Okay, this WAS the alternate universe theory, but with another name... heh, didn'y get it. Okay, went trough my post to remove oddities.

It was a nice account of "hollywood zombies", but you should try and stray away from the "hollywood fiction". Try to form your own theories, rather than just rely on what "the red queen said".
It's funny I made almost the exact same argument in the other thread. Viking is right: Given the simple fact that at any given moment you can think of an infinite amount of things (a number), literally, every moment an infinite amount of universes are created by you alone!!! (which is absolutely absurd) p.s., lol sniper, you can't keep that up forever! Eventually, somewhere in a post, you are going to state an absolute truth, forgetting to prefix it with "some", and that whole theory is going to back fire on you Just let it go... Could you imagine a multiverse theory believer applying for a job.... "How do you feel your work ethics are?" "Um, well, I can't be certain in the other multiverses, but "some" of my work ethics are really great, I'm "sometimes" a good worker" (p.s. if you are religious/spiritual, you cannot believe in multiverse and spirituality, they totally contradict each other, as you will see in my proof) This post has been edited by |2enegade on February 22, 2005 06:02 am -------------------- |

I'll defend my overall position in the other thread as to prevent our debate hopping from thread to thread. However, as for applying for a job or anything involving quantifing yourself as a physical entity... as you said regardless of where you travel, you are you. As such, you have a past and can draw a conclusion based on that past. ex. "I have good work ethics", "I'm a lazy SoB...", etc. That question relates to a single instance of yourself, thusly, an absolute that follows your current concious path can be formed without being in violation the the multiverse theory. Wheither or not that absolute holds true at any moment after it is stated depends on which choices your current conciousness follows.
I guess then it's good that I am an atheist.  -------------------- BB Maps I've made...

People spend too much time on theories on zombies. My theory is that they are a plague from god to punish us. Like the black death.

Don't get me started on that subject... It would also be important to note that the Black Death has been scienctifically disected, the result? It didn't come from god (or "God" for some of you out there). -------------------- BB Maps I've made...

Arguements for God go either way. I could sit here and explain 1.5 million reasons why a God exists, but none of which are solid enough to prove it beyond a doubt. However, I can offer an explanation why there exists no solid explanations. It's pretty simple:
God, for me and most religions, is an supremely loving entity and wishes for us to love him. However love is empty and hollow unless it is given freely and with "blind trust". If God allowed Himself to be proven to exist, then this love would no longer be given freely and become "fake". Why? Imagine one day, an undeniable testament of the existence of God was shown unto the world. Allowing everyone to know and see that there is a God. Then, everyone knowing that there is a God, they have a soul, there is a heaven etc. will be compelled to love him. The fact that we do not know entirely the nature of God's existence works much like a hidden camera survellience system. If one does not know that it is there, they may be compelled to steal, whether they do or not reflects the true nature of their person. However, if it was revealed to them that there was a camera, then almost no one, even if they had the intention to steal, would steal. It is the same with a "revealed God". In a world where God revealed himself undeniably, everyone would "force" themselves to love him and "force" themselves to do good acts and phonyness and false pretenses would run rampant everywhere. This is why God does not allow himself to be proved OR disproved. Thus, one may conclude, that arguements both for or against the existence of God are fundamentally unprovable and are thus useless in trying to convince the other party. -------------------- |

Too much advanced informmation...head is overfilled... get away before... *PoP*
Kidding, I understand most of it I guess. Now, to make an illusion that I also have something to say, I will ramble a bit about the Black Death Black Death came from rotting bodies that Turks threw into European fortresses during the Holy Wars ( Sometime in the middle ages). There were originally only pest, but evolved into the Black Death, that is recognized by black lumps all over your body. There is no current cure for it, however people in some European countries show resistance to the plague, since only the strongest survived the plague years, or those with bigger resistance for pest. Following Darwin's theory of Survival of the fittest, the ones ummune or resistant to plague survived, and made a line of almost immune followers. Apart from that, I think I have said all I can. (I'll be damned if I can outsmart someone aged 19, in the 3rd year of multiverse theory science stuff., in his own field.) |

Don't know if this has already been brought up, but have you happened to read the "Zombie Survival Guide"?
Great book, you can pick it up at most Barnes & Nobel's, B. Dalton's, etc. Quick Summary: A parody of a wildlife/bomb threat/terrorist survival guide that instructs you what to do in case of zombie insurrection. You have some good points btw. |
