    As a fellow pragmatist, what do we do with the uninfected humans judged unfit for the convoy? Do we leave them crippled in our wake, to slow down zombies on our trail? Or do we just put them out of their misery? Or perhaps we just leave them unmolested at the side of the road, to fend for themselves?

    Classic triage situation, duders. You always make the decision that will save the most people.

    And what do you bring to the table, other than armed neighbors and a proclivity for homophobic jokes?

    I thought so.

    Since I have training in combat triage, I say we drag the slackers behind us in a cage, periodically dumping one out as bait. Anyone who can provide a survival skill and is not a complete dipshit can have a shot at staying. For someone to risk all life on the convoy for whatever reason...well, I won't waste a bullet. The carotid artery is very easy to find.

    Well, kinda.

    They excel in many areas. No zombies are making their way on the platform, you have a theoretically unlimited supply of fuel, machines to convert water, and you can fish for food. But on the other hand, at sea, machinery will break down eventually. And in the long term you still need a way to leave the thing, preferably by helicopter.
    look dude i don't know about you but i have no idea how an oil rig operates

    If an oil rig is that safe, there will likely be engineers still there, looking for more people to help out. It wouldn't be hard for them to just give you the basics of how to maintain the place. Shit these days almost runs its self.
    ZSG says you don't need to run the major machines/drill at all, just use the stored fuel already there

    The only problem with the cage plan is that it leaves a trail for them to follow. If we dump them one at a time, I think that actually increases the risk. If we wait until we have a dozen or so in the cage, we can just break their knees and elbows, and leave them in a clump at the side of the road.

    We would dump less frequently, and the zombie holdup would be greater.

    Nobody suggest malls anymore. You suggest malls you are out of the convoy and we probably won't let you into ZombiePAX without at least 6 deep-dickings.

    Malls have way too many windows. WAY too many. Not just that but think of how many infected there could be in a mall. Why don't we just hole up in a nice, open-air gazebo while we're at it?

    No malls and no capes okay?

    No place is safe, only safer. And malls aren't either of those. Those windows will crash in, and there are too many doors to barricade. Not to mention too many nooks and crannies to search out for zombies.

    There will be a hundred or more zombies in that mall, and many will have died behind counters or in restrooms. Some might have locked themselves into back rooms, and are now trapped zombies.

    It is just taking too much of a risk with too little of a pay off.

    It has problems, I'll grant you that. However, dumping them off all at once is only a stopgap. The real solution is to slit throats one at a time. If someone is hysterical or losing it, I can understand, but I will slap the shit out of someone to maintain control and discipline. If that doesn't work, it's the dirt nap.

    Let's just say that I'm ambivalent.

    My sister would be a great addition: Strong, fit, and calm in the face of calamity. Also more than capable of saying "no," when she wanted to. As for women I date...well, I'm not a jealous guy, but being a comfort girl for a bunch of sweaty nerds from the interweb might not be their idea of a great future.

    If we come across people we find unsuitable for our Zombie savior force it would be in our best interest to plug them so they don't tell other people that we're turning living humans away. If any of them go organized they might strike back at us out of vengeance and we'd have a two-front war on our hands.

    So we have to be prepared to deal with:
    Zombies (shamblers and draggers)
    Quislings
    LaMOEs (Last-Men-On-Earth, renegade, armed humans)
    Bitten humans
    Hostile raiders
    Suicidal/Z-shocked humans (who might want to take others with them)
    Zealots (who believe the zombie curse is the reckoning and may want to sabotage survivors)
