ZOMBIE THEME GENERAL DISCUSSION AREA

[Weaver]

Over here many stores have sprouted "inconspicuous" stainless steel/concrete bollards in front of them. Trouble is, they get to be "inconspicuous" by being low; generally about two feet high. This can be unfortunate when you're in a crowd walking past the front of the store and a two feet high, utterly solid obstruction materialises in front of you at short range when you're looking into the middle distance, not at your feet..... cue comedy pratfall....

Sounds as much fun as cutting between the back of a parked truck and a car at night only to find out tactilely that the car is on a tow bar!

I don't see how that would pass Occupational Safety and Health Administration regs around here. Does give me a good idea for anti zombie fortifications. Put a bunch of post in the ground about knee high and connect chains or cables between them. It would turn the walkers into crawlers long enough to get away or bash'em.

How do zombies respond to electricity? I'm thinking of a generator on the back of the truck and bare wires on insulators strung around it.

Have you ever saw a school bus with the front bumper mounted barricade? The one that blocks traffic to the left of the bus?
Imagine two square pipes mounted on the door sills that swung out to an angle. If you mounted ragged metal facing forward it would be icing on the cake.

They might explode if they were imbalmed!   Seeing as their nevous sytems are pretty much going to H-E-Double toothpicks I still think it might make them dance just from the electricity stimulating the muscles.
"Mommy what smells like burning garbage"?
"Be quiet and watch the funny dancing zombies dear".

I have one question:

Not sure if it would "kill" them but it would be fun to watch!
I'll try it on the fire truck just for fun.

Captain Canada said something about "Zombie Plows should have been a rule"!
So do we amend the rules to say you really need a plow, ram or other or other zombie muncher or masher on the front (at least)?

Or your mates walk in front of you and dodge out of the way at the very last moment 

A question re Zombies please. Do they have individual morale as such (not morals  ) or is it just a crowd reaction ? Could effect the types of weapons you want to use ?

That is a question you will have to figure out as you go.  You have to write your own story for your model build so as we writers say "It's MY world so if I say pigs can fly you must beware the flying bacon"!  
Besides, who is going to pay for a study of zombie psycology, who is going to DO the study and has any government ever managed to distribute a reconizable document that is clearly written?

No - if you want a plough you can have one.  Too many rules will stifle creativity.

Amen!
