For the kids...

[Zombie_Hunter]

So, you are sitting through a boring math lesson, when someone comes screaming into your class, yelling that the school has been surrounded by the undead.  Since the cruel schoolboard does not allow cell-phones, no one knew of this crisis until it was to late.  You have some archery equipment at your disposal, with a little more than 50 arrows.  Other than that you will have to find makeshift weapons.  When you climb up to the roof, you find that the school is utterly surrounded, zombies swarming in the hundreds, maybe even thousands...and that's just for now! 

How do you handle this situation?

How do you survive?

Tough one.

I would assemble a group of the best athletes. The fastest runners and the toughest kids. They would arm themselves and come with me, while the brains and the rest work on creating defensive weaponry for their escape. Smoke bomb em to see if it does anything, and if not the plan would be for my group to make a diversion and hopefully have enough of the undead crowd follow us, leaving a small margin of opportunity for the rest to B line. Kind of like Moses spreading the sea.....of zombies. As for my group it would be up to each man to make it to rendevous point, which was agreed on before hatching the plan.

If the smoke bombs worked or could create an effective cover, or even irritate the zombies in some way, then my group's job would be a little easier. If the smoke did nothing, or even made them mad, then we could only hope that anger will be the incentive to give chase.

If everyone, and I am guessing most would, objects to my plan, then I would say split into about 4-8 groups and everyone go in one direction. It should draw zombies equally to each group, hence if you are stuck and have to fight, it is only a smaller fraction of zombies instead of the entire crowd.

If they still objected and wanted to hunker down and wait for help or something, then I would plan my own escape and observe the crowd from the roof. Know your enemy. Study them. Observe them. Find the chinks in the armor. Find what works. Wonder if going down and acting like one would actually work? They probably pick up the scent of the living, or maybe even see in the infra red like reptiles. Anything that glows is food!

that is tough....mmmmm..... i guess i would talk to the janitor and make sure the doors were strong enough to keep the zeds at bay for at least a little while. Then i would go to the broom closets and check for weaponry. If i was bold enough i guess i would attempt to steal the cop's gun and night stick. Then i would head to the roof, (theres a ladder on one of the halls, go figure), and observe them. Look for the least condensed area and plan to break through there. See if the zombies run by throwing lunchmeat into the crowd, maybe even an annoying kid or two, (you know who you are Allan Beard....douchebag. He doesn't use this forum i just hate him. And i hope im allowed to say douchebag) anyway, see if they can run. If so, this sucks, if not, then use an annoying person as bait and make my escape! Stay covered and get to my house where i can stock up and get to the woods!

Man... that would suck... but i'd definitely get together anyone that can fight off a zed... I'd tell them to first move tables to try and blockade the door for right now... then i'd tell them to spread out and find anything useful to fight off a zed... we would reassemble back on the roof and fight it out at the door...

This would suck for me because we dont have a roof that you can go onto. I would probobly go through the usuall freakout routine, "WTF ZOMBIES!!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!" Shortly after said freakout I would most likley go around the room asking everyone if they knew how to deal with a threat like this. Those that answer correctly I would then have them follow me to the lunch room using the abundance of tables and chairs to baricade the doors and wall.( I say wall because we have an entire wall made of glass at our school) After that just grab what ever can be used as a weapon and hope they dont break in.

 I don't have any idea how to get on top of any school I ever went to, hopefully some of the staff would know how to reach it. Barring that there are several rooms that would be easily fortified and the "industrial" brooms and mops the janitors use could be real handy. Best case scenario is one of the evil teachers goes out and tries to talk some sense into those "blood crazed hooligans". While they are being devoured alive I run for the hills. I would never send someone out there in a situation like that, but there were certain teachers I had in school that I would not even TRY to stop. (Everybody's got a little evil in 'em somewhere).

Plant self on roof. With arrows. Luckily, my school DOES have a flechery set. Only one. Bare bones. I know we do, because I put it there. I was sick of stupid bent plastic arrows. Loot the school with everyone, and pile everything that isn't nailed down or on fire into the auditorium. Start building weapons. Spears. Sharp clubs. That sort of thing. If we have time, I hit up the metal shop. The idea is to reduce the numbers with the arrows, to something manageable by about a thousand kids with spears and clubs.

man that would be quite some army lol

[Robin Holmes]

It's a big public school. Highschool.

[†CrimsonKing†]

i hate highschool. It sucks.....

[daydreamer1]

That's hard to say.But I would panic,since my math class is on the first floor.

(I'll edit when I think of my plan)

This one is so easy I would get as many kids as possible  that can fight grt as many weapons as possible and bar up the doors and gates and let anyone that thinks they can fight there way out attempt to do so(less mouths to feed over time) take stock of what we have and try to survive until the zombies get board and leave (they do get board right)

[smallfry043]

i would get all the students to arm themselves with anything that will bash a persons brains in the i would get a couple of people to watch the windows and then i would go and see if they blocked the doors in the school. if the zombies got in the building i would go back in my math class and block the doors and try and call for help all the teachers in our school have phones in their office. im sure that would work out!
