just imagine your in a Zombie Outbreak with 2 other surviors and a zombie bit anyone of your fingers ( your pick ) what would you do??
THINGS TO KNOW:
* Zombie Survial Guide says if you cut off the limb of which you were bitten you only have a 10% Chance of non-infection.
* You can have whatever equipment you want
* It's possible your immune but it would be a first and as far as YOU know your not sure if your immune... so you could just hope for the best * ------------ OPTIONS:
1: Shoot Yourself
2: Light Your self on fire and run into a pack of zombies
3: Do nothing and hope your immune
4: Do nothing and hope your not immune, being a zombie could be fun!
5: Get out your gun and take as many zombies with you and shoot your self before you reanimate
6: Cut off your finger ( remember, 10% success rate )
7: cut off your arm ( probably around a 20% success rate )
8: cut off halve off your body ( probably a 40% success rate but you'll probably die from blood loss )
9: get one of your surviors to shoot you
10: ask one of the surviors to stay with you and get the other to search for a cure that probably doesn't exist and the likelyhood that it's within 24 Hours ( you reanimate in 24 Hours ) travel is crazyily low.
11: { Insert your awesome plan here }
I would pick 'Option 6' and hope for the best, what about you?
11) launch a nuclear strike, kill every zombie present there!!!!!!
Zombies aren't affected by radiation, and in the books that they are, it just makes them stronger/faster, so you would only kill the Zack in the blast area, which really wouldn't be that many considering.
Why do we have the option to chop off our finger, chop off our hand, hemisect ourselves, but not chop off our hand? :S
I would: * Chop the zombie's head off, stat. * Chop off my hand asap (WITH A DIFFERENT BLADE!!!) * Cauterise the wound. * Apply a temporary tourniquet. * The next part depends on other rules. There's no consensus on the composition, mode of spread or actual effect of whatever it is that turns you into a zombie. Some fictions have an antidote. The rules in this thread suggest that there is an element of toxin spread, but the figures don't give me a timeframe, so I've just cited emergency measures. * If I survive, I would later apply for a hand-transplant from my plastic-surgeon friend. Given my occupational status I would probably get a good one :P
I would be more worried if the finger didn't come off. Having the finger come off means that the bite won't actually affect me. If the finger stays on, however, the zombie saliva will flow through my veins and turn me into a zombie.
