Roleplaying Dumb People
The advantages to Roleplaying Dumb People is that Roleplaying Dumb People allows you to have the maximum amount of fun in a shortest time-frame possible. It is a fun, easy strategy for the modern day Survivor-on-the-go who doesn’t have time to engage in large scale sieges in foreign suburbs. Roleplaying Dumb People allows survivors to quickly taste glory for once, and then dart back to the same old grind which puts bread on the table.
The aim of Roleplaying Dumb People is to remove stress, responsibility, and any sort of emotional attachment from the siege process. Recent studies have found that a whopping 83% of long-term survivors suffer from heightened blood pressure, hypertension, and other stress-related health issues. This strategy aims to alleviate the symptoms and prevent the primary cause.

Preparation:
To begin this is very easy. You must first embrace your new role as a dumb survivor. Close your eyes, turn off all music, and meditate.
Imagine the smell of leather, and the cha-chick of a shotgun cocking. Imagine the smell of gun-smoke, alcohol, and the sounds of empty chatter. Envision Rambo, and the Terminator, and Ed Harris in The Rock.
Hold on to this. Now, take a deep breath, and hold it in. Let it out slowly out after counting to ten. You are now Roleplaying Dumb People, and are ready to embark on your mission.
Inventory:
Your inventory should not be a concern. Only bring what you currently have with you, allowing for a radio transmitter, some decorative pieces and maybe a few books.

Planning:
First, Identify your location. Now, Repair and Barricade it as necessary. Next, Pile In as many survivors as you can.
Nothing further is needed in terms of metagaming, strategy, tactics, or organization.
Merely promise glory, courage, and success, with the inevitable taste of sweet, sweet victory to everyone you can. Promise a resounding and clear defeat for the zombies, and swear that this will be the most epic, memorable, and enjoyable siege anyone has ever had.
Never cease repeating this.
The Role Playing
Talk as much and as often as possible. When zombies burst in, half-heartedly attempt to clear them out and only try to raise the barricades when there are over 15 of them inside.
Once the zombies are inside, proceed to die slowly over the course of several days, making no attempt to secure your position. This is vital to maintaining your character, and thus not breaking anyone’s immersion as you go about Roleplaying Dumb People.

VICTORY:
Congratulations! You’ve won!
Now that zombies have poured into your building, devouring everyone while you were helpless to resist them, you may rest on your laurels and boast about your success in losing the chosen building in record time.
You may now reflect upon your leaders fleeing the positions they swore to die defending, and leaving their followers and allies to die.
No sane person can criticize you now: You went into that building with the express purpose to die very quickly, because standing outside is hard. Your death will go down in history as a massive success, and the sight of your corpse will be cheered by all.
Some people who engage in Roleplaying Dumb People may become quickly disillusioned in the act, and may even become hostile to their leaders (or to their followers).
Rather than sit back and appreciate your wacky humor and the irreverent hijinks you’ve brought them into, they — much like your ex-wife— will lash out at you.
Ignore these people, there will always be those without the perspective or cultural depth to understand the morale victory and the symbolic triumph of your Roleplaying Dumb People.
