A Hypothetical Discussion

[Kirbyoto]

What if half of them made a pincer motion from Blankpoint Ridge (A. on your diagram) and the other half made a feint from the Rhine (B. to C. on your diagram)? We don't have the manpower to deal with those kind of maneuvers! Tell your men to fortify positions and we'll try to hold them off until reinforcements arrive!

Why can't we touch the walls again? That is seriously hindering a lot of the moves I had planned.

If they started forming larger groups you could pretty much haul headlong through them with little risk of being overtaken. It'd seperate them temporarily and might keep some of them down for a little bit. Once you have them down to a more manageable size knees and elbows take care of the rest.

I'm upping mine to 40.

Could I choose what I wear? If I came dressed up as Barney, I could probably lull them into a false of security.

Do kids still like Barney? You're probably better off dressing up like a bottle of Liquid Plummer or something.

Well now you're just being ridiculous.

You're dead in a Barney suit. You have zero mobility. Come on man, think this through.

Alright, how about a Power Ranger. Then you have mobility. Plus I'm pretty sure kids still like them.

I think that they should come out of a little door in a steady stream, like enemies in Ninja Gaiden Black. That would also be adorable. Also, I posit that whaling on six-year old is much easier than attempting the same feat with six-year-old-sized midgets. For one thing, midget bones are thicker. Also, are we talking about a uniform size of six-year-olds, or will there occasionally be like a fat kid inserted into the mix? Because that could really fuck with your rhythm if you're booting able-bodied kids and all of a sudden here comes Tubby Two-Tons with Hershey's smeared on his face and giggling and panting. I mean, sure, he'll go down quickly, but when you're in the red haze of combat (or berzerker fury, if you prefer), if all of a sudden your foot pistons into something with considerably less give than everything else, you're liable to miss a beat or two.

Besides, if this is a Danger Room scenario, you're totally fucked. Think the Danger Room is going to be fooled? It is not.

One could try to psyche them out. Especially if your pretty big and have facial hair, you could just yell at them in an angry tone, telling them that your going to hurt their mom/ dad/ or grandparents. Fear could be used as an advantage. I'm totally creeping myself out now.

There is no psyche, friend. These are demon children from beyond time that just happen to have the bodies of six year olds. They don't have the minds of six year olds.

Right. This is "how many kids can you fight and defeat," not "what crazy thing can you do to turn the tide in your favor." These are mindless children bent on your destruction, and it's your job to knock them unconscious before they do so to you.

A shiny floor would be a disadvantage, nothing worse than losing your footing due to the blood of innocents.

I'm also in the endurance camp, I'd struggle to put a number on how many.

A good idea might be to focus on their faces and try to knock out teeth. That would save you the pain of biting should they latch onto you.

I was so pumped to come home and see that this thread had 4 pages to it.

Excellent job, Adam.

I would love to beat the crap out of some of those Children of the Corn bastards. I reckon it'd take 20 or 30 until I'm worn down.

A suitable ending, I think!

[mysterymeat]

I think I can assume that sympathy and guilt wouldn't be considered, right? If that's the case, then I think I could get about 15 of the little suckers before I get a jaw of steel in the groin.

Anyway, I think all the members have posted already, so if I may, I'd like to add a new factor. Let's say you're in an empty barn (except for one ladder (no second floor)) now, like the ones you see in zombie movies, and they're coming in one big mob, although it may take some longer than others to break inside. You may not leave the barn, but you can makeshift weapons. So can they. Now how many do you think you could take?

[Kirbyoto]

Four or five. I mean, these are zombies. Obviously I'm in a tight spot; my psyche's not gonna hold up long. It's not likely I'll get a complete number of perfect headshots (is that what the criteria for dead zombies is? That's what it usually is) with whatever is available, so I'd probably only get a couple before they got me.

Oh, wait, are we still dealing with kids? Okay, then, like a lot more. But "Makeshift weapons"? Out of what, the ladder? Am I going to hit these kids with a ladder? Are they going to steal bits of ladder?

screw you zombies are cool

Well, remember your clothes for one thing. You could strangle a kid with your shirt. Then there's the wood from the floor of the barn.
