If you were to be attacked by a creature, would you rather it be zombies, vampires or werewolves?

Depends. I imagine you would transform into a zombie or werewolf if you were bit by one of them. The vampires don't have to turn you

I'd probably go with werewolf. If I do get bit and don't get killed, I'll be slightly less hairy during the full moon, so its no big deal. This is me BTW:

Are you trying to make a thread that could get the highest percent of carrot votes ever? That was my first thought... No, second actually. When I saw the thread I thought it was about some lame Facebook applications....

You would only survive a zombie attack if you are fast, lucky and are able to get away. If you are scratched or bitten, it's only a matter of time before you become a mindless zombie yourself.

If you were unsuccessful against a vampire, it's the vampire's choice whether to turn you or make a meal out of you. If it decides to make a meal of you, then you're dead, never to become undead.

Most werewolf attacks are fatal, they're generally too savage and/or are hungry. The actual chances of you surviving a full werewolf attack and thus becoming one yourself is very small. It is more likely that you'll become a werewolf yourself after being bitten or scratched by a lycanthrope while still in its human form who still has relative control of his or her mind.

George Clooney survived an attack of the killer tomatoes, didn't he? Carrots aren't much more vicious as a vegetable group so I'd say chances of survival is much higher than the other creatures. The only thing is, if scratched or bitten by carrots, you will become Carrot Top. I'd rather take my chances with the other three even with the small prospects of becoming a zombie, vampire or werewolf.

I'm gonna go with vampire. Being bled to death sounds better than being torn to pieces, or dealing with carrots. And who knows, maybe the vampire is a hot chick. You know like Angie Everhard in that dumb movie with Dennis Miller.

Bleeding to death is a very slow and painful death.

Getting torn to pieces will be over in a second or two.

But you forget that when a vampire feeds on someone it's almost a sexual orgasmic experience.

I would want to die by a babe vampire.

1. You've been reading too many Anne Rice books.

2. It's a one sided sexual orgasmic experience. The other side will die a slow and painful death.

3. Since you are a fan of Anne Rice vampires, you're more likely to die by a pre-op transgender 'babe' vampire.

A warewolf is something you can actually kill quite easily with regular weapons. Zombies or vampires are more difficult by far.

Uhh... dude.. silver bullets aren't really considered 'regular weapon' if you could even find them in your neighbourhood sports store.

And no, werewolves are big, strong, fast, savage, heal fast, have strong tracking skills and enhanced senses.

Zombies and Carrot Top is probably the only creatures you could kill with regular weapons.

Vampires and yes I have put a lot of thought into this. At least you can reason with a vampire maybe even talk it into letting you go, you wouldn't get this chance with any of the others.

You just woke up, you haven't eaten a thing all day after a big night out the night before, you are starving, and you come across a fine rib eye steak lightly sauteed medium rare with a side dish. No amount of talking is going to stop you digging into a fine meal.

Are the vampires cute, scantily clad women and do I get to hang with them for all eternity?

If not, then I'm going for zombies. Like the sheriff in "Dawn of the Dead" said, they're weak
and they die if you shoot them. And I have a copy of the "Zombie Survival Guide" at home already.

If I got bit by a vampire I could gig all night long for eternity. Hell, I might even get to be a decent player after a few hundred more years!

If I don't survive then it won't matter in the long run. If I do survive I'd rather turn into a werewolf than a vampire or zombie.

After a lot of deep thought and careful analysis of the data presented so far, I'm going with Vampire as long as it's a babe vampire!
