There’s been a lot of discussion on Twitter in regards to the types of weapons Zombie Survival Crew members prefer …. There’s quite a few pink crossbows being raised, and apparently every single person in the Texas brigade is packing some serious heat.
Command thought the following might be helpful for those who aren’t yet armed and ready for the zombiepocalypse ( – and of course you will soon be armed or risk being tossed out as zombie bait!)
After some rather amusing Twitter shenanigans and some soul searching inside the ZSC Command Center we have decided to take the following out to the broader Zombie Survival Crew brigades for a vote.
It was suggested by “someone” that we make @Squirrel_TWDan official (not THE official, but AN official) #zombiesurvivalcrew mascot, despite the squirrel’s very public – and often nasty – blood feud with the Dixon brothers from The Walking Dead.
We were assured by a Command Center discussion that the following Tweet had nothing to do with putting our furry little friend up for vote!
Wonder how long it it’ll take to chew through a wire on a crossbow. 2:55 AM Dec 23rd via web
So Zombie Survival Crew brigades, let us know what you think!
Vote yes, if you support @Squirrel_TWD as an official mascot; vote no, if you don’t! If you have an alternative suggestion for ZSC mascots, put them up in the comments section of this post.
We’ll keep voting open until Friday, December 31, 2010.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
Last map update and assignment of brigades completed 9/29/13
The below map illustrates the ZSC brigades. Each member of the Zombie Survival Crew is assigned to a brigade and each brigade is led by one of the fearless leaders. Each brigade is assigned a color, which you see listed at the bottom: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Lt Blue, and the Orange brigade, being the ninja secret-keepers that they are, are sometimes listed as Others to help maintain their stealth.
If you are searching for your specific marker:
Click the link underneath the map to open in a full window.
Click on the Map Locations tab.
Click the drop down menu under Filter (upper left corner of the map on a blue background)
Select Screen Name
Type your ID in the box and click Find
If you had a cute, funny or non existent location on twitter and were mapped via that location, you may not wind up where you expect to see yourself, as the 7th, 8th, and 9th circles of Hell and Behind You! are not plotable.
To better see where your fellow brigade members are:
Click the link underneath the map to open in a full window.
Click on the Map Locations tab.
Click the drop down menu under Filter (upper left corner of the map on a blue background)
Select Brigade
Click on the box of the specific Brigade you’d like to isolate.
The map has Google map functionality, so will zoom, and allow you to check out the surrounding terrain to ensure the area can be kept secure.
Please remember to keep the information on this map secure as it provides the location of all crew members. We don’t want … *looks left, then right and whispers* … the information to fall into the wrong hands. We need to be vigilant about security at all times… and for those who slip up? Juliette has been itching to let loose with her crossbow, and that’s all I’m going to say about that.
If you do not find yourself on the map, have not received your brigade assignment, and either registered or followed on Twitter PRIOR to the date at the top, then please contact command at command { @} zombiesurvivalcrew (dot ) com. You don’t want to be left without a brigade when the shambling hordes appear.
So take a few moments, browse the map, and if it is too small within the confines of the blog, click the little link thingy under the map and it will open in a new window and give you full screen visibility.
A little Christmas caroling for y’all on this blessed day.
Zombies roasting on an open fire, paramedics reattaching toes.
Freaking Vatos are stealing your tires and dang, their pants are really low.
Everybody knows some bullets and a crossbow, kill the zombies right on sight.
Daryl’s squirrels with their eyes so dull will make a great feast tonight.
You know that zombies like to slay. They’re sinking rotting, nasty teeth into your leg.
And the fever will make you fry, in the morning you’ll walk after you die.
And so we’re offering this simple pledge, to folks from all around the world.
If you’ve been bitten by a zombie redneck, we’ll shoot you humanely.
