I think at this point everyone should realize that the world is coming to an end. I mean for Christ’s sake, there are gays getting married! If that does not spell DOOM! I don’t know what does. Anyway, here are my pointers to survive the impending collapse of civilization as we know it.
Here is how I think it may go down. After the infrastructure comes down, there will be mass rioting, looting etc. If you hope to have a chance, it would help if you were a ninja. Seriously, skills in stealth, killing, and general bad-assness will come in very handy. In case you are not a ninja, you are going to have a much tougher go. Figure that it will be the masses of crazy people against you. The thing you have going for you (other than reading this blog) is that really no more than 3 people can attack you at once. This is just a space issue around you. So instead of you against 50 others, it is more like you against 3 others, for 12+ rounds. Does not sound too discouraging now does it? Now the actual fighting, you will want Endurance +20 and to be a flawless killing machine. Again, ninja skills would help here. Otherwise I hope you have some sort of ranged weaponry. The plus here is also after you kill like the first 20 or so, you will probably scare off a good number of the rest of the people.
OK the other plausible scenario is zombies. The undead require a totally different fighting style. First, they don’t get scared and you pretty much have to severe the head or pierce the brain cavity. Second, they can smell your brains so hiding is pretty much out of the question. And finally all they have to do is bite you and game over. Here is what you have going for you. Poor lateral movement. Zombies just aren’t that quick on their feet. They have very poor agility. In fact any one-on-one match should be no contest. Just look for something to attack with. No hand-to-hand bravado (see biting). Two, stay calm and you can out think them. Zombies are seriously stupid. That is probably why they crave brains to eat.
OK, that’s about all the advice for fighting. Remember guns are good for fighting large numbers. Gasoline and water are necessary so stockpile now. You are probably looking at a Mad Max style dystopian future. Me… I will be teaming up with the zombies. I never much cared for the underdog.
