Would You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse

(via Chandler via Facebook)

The meme: "Go to your profile. The top 5 friends that are in the sidebar are now your team in the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse. Will you survive?"

Friends: Illustrious Miss Kitten, Bill Maxwell, Jeannette Ricks Hunt, Greg Ricks, Robert Berris.

We're assuming that the team is united by circumstances at the start of this crisis since if it involved linking up the answer would be 'no' since they are all literally thousands of miles apart from each other.

Analysis:

Liabilities: Everyone on this list has loved ones that they would want to secure. Furthermore, the priorities of such would more than likely cause serious concerns about the long term cohesion of the group since everyone would eventually like to determine the fate of/help their loved ones in various cities.

That as I see it is the only major liability.

Psychological Stability: All of the the group pass the 'shock' test IMHO of actually seeing dead people running around and would be able to act accordingly.

Social Cohesion: I have worked collaboratively with everyone on the group, and can easily state that everyone involved would, for the short term at the least, be able to work together.

Skill Set: The skill sets on the list are quite impressive, both from a practical side (including a nurse and an engineer) but from a metaphysical/lore side since everyone involved has seen zombie movies and knows how to deal with virtually zombie situation.

Combat Capability: Not everyone is created even here, but I'm quite sure that those that HAVEN'T used a shot gun could pick up the skill quite fast.

In short, for at least the initial blast 48-72 hours, I put the odds of this team surviving the Zombie Apocalypse at 100%.
