This swap has been a long time coming...

This is a 1 partner swap

You will create for your swap partner a COMPLETE ZOMBIE ESCAPE PLAN. This might get complicated so pay attention :)

You MUST include:

  • Map of your state, clearly marked with your zombie escape route and major areas of infection.

  • Hand drawn map of your immediate area (3 to 4 streets and landmarks) showing your supply route. Use your Post Office or other landmark instead of your home address if you like. No need to give out your actual street address if you are uncomfortable with that :)

  • Your supply lists

  • your method of zombie annihilation (list weoponry or other killing tactic while on the run)

Additionally you MAY include (not required) anything of note that would impact your escape from zombieland (your immediate and surrounding areas).

You MUST also include a fun zombie themed gift for your partner. This gift can be handmade, or store bought. It can be worth 1 penny or 100 dollars. Send something you would like to recieve, NOT CRAP. This is senders choice, please do not put requests below.

RATINGS: Please rate on recieving the listed items, not on the style of the items. Everyone has different tastes.

ELIGIBILITY: You must be in good group standing, and not be a flaker. This swap is a little bit crafty, and requires imagination and time to complete. Please only sign up if you are willing to devote the time to create your maps, lists and a nice package for your partner. I am giving a long time on this so there should be no excuses for late sending or crappy craftmanship.

OK, the title guessing game here is possibly my easiest yet. Winner must post the movie and the charactor referenced in the title to win! Leave answers in the comments section below for a prize.

hehehe ... is that a boomstick in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? muahaha ... sorry. Carry on with the guessing game.

LOL! I hate zombie stuff (sorry!) but the bassist for my band already has one of these and is deadly serious about it. He occasionally stops our sets to do a zombie awareness announcement.

Vendetti 08/ 3/2010 #

Evil dead. Duh.

I totally have a zombie survival kit!

Vendetti 08/ 3/2010 #

bmt2789 08/ 3/2010 #

bmt2789 08/ 3/2010 #

bmt2789 08/ 3/2010 #

I just wanted to note to anyone looking at this swap that most states print a FREE attractions map that is handed out aw welcome centers and rest areas, in case you dont want to pay for the state map part.

Loonstruck 08/ 9/2010 #

I have a question about the type of zombies we're dealing with. What is their range for knowing you exist and have some tasty brains? It drastically effects my escape plan. Also, one of my escape plans involves multiple states. Do I need maps for all of those?

kiwivandal 08/ 9/2010 #

Lets assume we are dealing with your garden variety 'non-aware' zombie. This type 1 zombie can smell human brains at a range of about 1 mile, they can detect blood from a wound at a much longer range, almost 4 miles. They cannot run, nor can they use simple tools (only their hands and teeth). Now part of the swap requirements is that you identify (assuming the infection began in your state) the areas of infection. It is up to you to decide where the outbreak might have begun, and how it will spread. I would make the assumption that most people would be fleeing from their home state entirely (unless you live in a state where you can hold off a type 1 zombie invasion, like perhaps the desert or the arctic), you must only show your local escape route (or if you plan to stick it out, how you will hold up at home). You are allowed to add other states if you like, if you are living on the border of the USA and another country, dont forget to add to your supply list PASSPORTS, we are assuming that world communications have not yet deteriorated and Border Patrol will most likely not allow you to cross without your passports if you just say "I dont need my passport I'm running from ZOMBIES!"

wunderland 08/ 9/2010 #

Border Patrol: "Do you have any weapons in your vehicle?"

Me: "Let's see ... sawed-off shotgun with 13 boxes of rounds, a bloody machete and my pocket Swiss."

Border Patrol: "Sounds about right. Carry on citizen."

kiwivandal 08/ 9/2010 #

OMGROFL!!! Im still trying to figure out what I would use the pocket swiss for? I dont want to be close enough to a zombie for that kind of combat!

catestalkergc 08/10/2010 #

Coolest swap ever!

wunderland 08/10/2010 #

The pocket Swiss is for assistance when I have to MacGyver my way out of something ... plus the cork screw / bottle opener will be valuable when I have to barricade myself in a liquor store or gas station and my only hope of escape is to make an arsenal of Molotov cocktails. Come on Siobhan, you've gotta think these scenarios through ;)

I <3 U.

catestalkergc 08/11/2010 #

Just so I am clear, if the zombies can't run does that mean they can't swim? My escape route involves water...

hollycm6 08/13/2010 #

You are a funny funny group. Thank you.

hollycm6 08/13/2010 #

And @alexalgebra I am going to have to do that occasionally now just to freak my kiddos out. :)

kiwivandal 08/14/2010 #

@catestalkergc as a general rule zombies can never swim, however tehy dont need to breathe either. In many type 1 zombie attacks those fleeing by water will see zombies walking along the bottom of said water toward an unknown destination... unless they are attacked by some kind of underwater foe they could potentially walk around under teh water forever... so beware deserted islands where they could surface eventually.

MJJ4always 08/15/2010 #

ROFLMFAO You guys are classic! Watching for now... But if I join, my escape plan is definitely gonna involve Sam and Dean Winchester. Cos they rock ;)

catestalkergc 08/15/2010 #

sweet, thankyou, will be careful with water :)
