So whats more dangerous the Zeds or fellow survivors?
Jan 16 2010, 4:19 PM EST | Post edited: Jan 16 2010, 4:19 PM EST
I'm relatively new to the site although I have been preparing for Z-day for quite some time. During the time in which I've been involved in this and similar sites, I've found that there is an ever expanding threat to mankind's survival. The other survivors!! Many of these hapless bastards are simply misinformed, no problem. However, just as throughout history i am sure there will plenty of F**k heads out there, who are skilled enough to escape, but not skilled to survive and most likely never even attempted a simple kit! And now the rest of us are stuck with charity cases (if we're lucky) who could get us in a wicked bad situation due to sheer ignorance. And then there are the more dangerous ones. The Debo type. These are the guys, or girls, that seem to believe that they are "important" or "better" than everyone else. And more exclusively that if those of us who are "readily equipped" are now "readily expendable" and thus becoming more dangerous than the Zeds ever were. Do you find this valuable?

Unless Zed just totally rolls over everything, your fellow survivors will be the biggest danger. If you have something that they need or want many will just try to take it. There is an advantage in numbers. Do you find this valuable?

Well it all depends on where you live. I live about 10 miles away from a town of 9100+, and it's a hunting town so im more worried about raiders than zeds. But if you lived in a big city in like the snobby rich part of town where a large percentage of them will be zombified, i'd be more worried about the zeds. But you're right, people are naturally violent, as we've seen throughout history, so there will no doubt be a bunch of d-bags out there with stolen guns taken supplies from the little guys who actually know how to survive. 2  out of 2 found this valuable.

Both.. In different situations.

I'd hate to see a possibly armed un-frinendly survivor..
But in close quarters a zombie would be more of a threat.

Depends on the level of outbreak and the time. If it's a small out break, then obviously the zombies. If it's a large, apocalypse type of outbreak, then the zombies will be more dangerous at first, but after a few months when there aren't as many and people are just trying to survive, it would be fellow survivors. 2  out of 2 found this valuable.

Regardless of the size of the outbreak, your concern should always be about possible Raiders. Not all humans are nice, and most of them won't realize that we need to stick together in order to defeat the Zeds first. They'll take whatever they want from you as long as you're too weak to fight them off.

If you can make taking your stuff more hassle than it's worth, they should leave you alone.

These are good points. And like I've said, I have been preparing for a bit, though I really don' t feel the urge to get in a big pissing contest to see who is tougher or better equipped. So i'll leave it at I'm confident in my abilities as far as the zeds go. And fairly as confidant in regards to the random ill-informed and self proclaimed "raiders." If it were all left to a "bad-assery" contest I feel that by bragging you lose by proxy! Thanks to you Mr. Edwards, although I most likely wont use fire my booby trap/guerilla tactics will be expanding soon! 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I agree with the "depends on the situation" answers. In some situations such as a city or a roving horde, the zombies are more dangerous because the mobile bio-hazards have numbers. In most other situations, the survivors can be even more dangerous. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

LOLSKIES!! alright well do you have women in your group? there's definitely a higher chance that other survivors would want to......how do i put this nicely....take your women for "repopulation". i also agree with the scenario idea. but as ive said in other threads; what kind of zeds are we talking about. fast moving zombies or slow.....viral or spontaneous?

id worry about the zombies more if they were fast. and the other survivors if they were slow moving zombies.

By my speculations, Viral. I'd say they start just as if any one of us are now only we've gone completely apes**t for living flesh and wont feel the pains of injury or fatigue. Then as they starve out they slow with decay. As for the "taking of our women" well the females of our group can kick ass just as well as the men. Some even better. Do you find this valuable?

It's hard to say. You may be robbed, raped, and murdered (or even eaten) by other survivors and if you attempt to cross a quaranteen zone you will surely be shot. Plus dumbasses can get you killed. I'd immediately ditch any dumbasses if I were you. But the Zeds? I dunno, man. I say be afraid of every biped you meet after Z-Day. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

If a zombie invasion did happen, it'll be the badasses that will most likelt survive and it will be those badasses who will begin looking for supplies. So, i think other survivors will be more of a danger, since they'll obviously be smarter than zed. Do you find this valuable?

Fellow survivors by far. An intelegent person who is possibly armed making it his/her goal to take your supplies or ammo is more threatining than a mindless Zed with one thing on its mind. And lets not just think about the bad"""es who roll up with AR15's and want all your ammo. Picture 34 year old man in the scope of your 30-06 who just stole a bag of your food rations that will last you 3 days, would you shoot them to get it back? Probably yes. Now picture that same man as a 9 year old child who is starving but you turned him away because you couldnt spare the food and he snuck in and took it....could you shoot him? There are so many more levels of "threat" that are associated with human survivors...survival, starvation, empathy, friendship, morality etc. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Heh, I don't think other survivors would give a damn about repopulating. A better word to have used would be "pleasure". Many other survivors will rape and pillage and if you're too weak to resist than you're screwed. Finding anyone who is willing to truly help in a post-apocalyptic world is not common. People will be desperate and they'll only care about themselves. Obviously this is not true for all survivors, but don't trust anyone and don't hesitate to protect yourself. I'd say be especially wary of small groups (between 4 and 7 people) and loners. Larger groups (20 or more people) are most likely survivors that will be more willing to help, but that's just a guess.

However there's no way of knowing how many people would survive Z-Day. For all we know, whatever would be responsible for the zeds could also be lethal...and airborne. It could a toxin that kills anyone who isn't infected. Meaning every last human would either die or become a zombie. If only a couple thousand or few tens of thousands of people survived, then I'd definitely be more worried about the zeds. But if there's still pockets of survivors around then I'd watch out for them too.

if they are your fellow survivors they would be watching your back no if they were just survivors then they would most likely posses dangers than Zeds because humans by nature are almost all opportunists Do you find this valuable?

Your fellow humans would be dangerous in the beginning of th outbreak but in the end when the outbreak is over and there only a few million people left on earth your fellow human beings would be extremely dangerous. Do you find this valuable?
