    I think I'd just move up north and watch the zombies freeze to ice before smashing them to little zombie pieces with a bat or something.

    Would be great if there was an area on Earth that approached absolute zero. We're really due for one of those.

    Yeah, we are...we're also due for a sort of Zippo revolution, which will be fought only with a myriad of refillable lighters.

    If the "area" is allowed to be really small, you could always check the physics lab at your university.

    Hmmm, particle accelerators would probably take out some undead too.

    The energy's bound to die. If they abandon the powerplants, the electricity's out.

    That gives me an idea, though. What about stationing yourself at, say, a nuclear powerplant? You'll have a almost unlimited powersource, and if it's all going to hell you can at least go out with a bang.

    Plus, the security on those places is awesome. Electric fences will prove fatal, especially when backed up by machineguns.

    What if I have a nuclear powerplant underneath my physics lab.

    prisons and military bases are also good choices. already fortified, armed, and with their own power and water sources.

    Plus if you have any 'leftover' prisoners, you can use them as bait to lure the zombies into kill zones.

    Thank you Blinky. Now I've got this strange vision of chain gangs hammering away at an oncoming zombie horde.

    Well...We are the Elite of the Elite. We are the one that gives the Elite fire support when they are in the killzone^^

    Yeah, and you're the ones that dies in action when you're overrun by the zombies. By that time, I'm headed for the chopper on the roof.

    That's why I use a guard tower with murder holes.
    It's specially designed to make climbing up the sides onto the roof nearly impossible, not to mention very bloody. In this way, if I get bored, I can just climb the ladder to the roof exit and board my chopper, complete with retro-fitted spud cannons and .50 cal machine guns.

    Dude, trust me, if I needed support, I wouldn't be in the kill zone, I'd be pulling a fighting slow draw-back into my next ambush, or be in an all-out defensive retreat and regrouping operation. And just as a tip, wolf, in your position, if you see me start to run away, take the hint.
