I would think Rachel’s superior will eventually find us and work with us… so i won’t mind working with them… there is also Lyles’s daughter government group …
And i would work with others when we are in same idealistic mindset… i could imagine surely they are righteous vigilante heroic group out there , of which i would definitely work with…
Right now we just build enough strength and gather enough resource, i don’t think my group has good scientist who have the knowledge of developing a cure , and it will be dangerous to keep a live zombie at our base
I think long ago, there was a joke with a poster who had since gone from the forum about developing a half cure that result in a half zimbie RO :-) that looks fun, the idea was MC manage to develop sort of a cure, then the RO being bitten so we test the cure on her … the antitode manage to partially heal the RO , which means she still turn into a zombie but with her own mind and memory , she will be sort of undead girlfriend who protect us… since she won’t afraid of being bitten again :-)
That looks like a power fantasy right? Romance with our zombie protector… :-)
Else , i am wondering what is the requirement to earn pious to call for the Divine Intervention :-)
Perhaps we need to perform all the good deeds as in a religion’s holy bible ???
1st of all the scientist doesn’t require that you keep a living specimen, you study their cells the average vanilla scientist isn’t a super strong killing machine that can drag around a zombie. 2nd I don’t deal with post apocalyptic self-righteous vigilantes because the last CYOA I played had people claiming they were going to “save” me and give me sanctuary then they drugged my friends during dinner (not me because I’m to cynical to trust food from someone I just met) and were going to feed us to the zombies they had in the basement because some Psycho Priest had a vision from God. That demanded our deaths so no thanks. Also you said your going to work with people that have a mindset similar to you are you excluding working with people that survive differently than you?
Hmmm… i remember in zombie Exodus , all we need was a hand, you could be right … but i remember we still need the blood of someone who survive the turn… not easy task, unless @JimD allow us to find another zombie immuner …
That CYOA looks familiar from a game i download long ago … so i understand what you meant , but you misunderstand that i will join them … we could be allies working together but i want to remain independent …
I won’t mind working with government group of course , like Rachel’s agency or the agency of Lyles’s daughter who will appear …
Of other survival group , keith’s mentallity of dominating the weak is a no … since i am not planning to raid others, we will compete for supplies but no raiding…
For a more harmonious group, i could always trade with them or form sort of alliance too…
I think there is a safe way to keep a live zombie. Simply cut off its lower jaw and arms then, remove it’s remaining teeth and put a chain around it’s throat. You could also use them as undead watch dogs to keep an eye out for intruders since they would most likely start growling and moaning when a human gets spotted or is close to them. Also I wonder if there are any asymptomatic carriers of the virus? That would be interesting. Having to deal with a person that knows or doesn’t know their infected and is spreading it.
My MC Ennui is a viriologist in ZE:SH (is that how you spell it?) who is currently studying how to make antibodies for the zombie apocalypse, but I hope that she improves the patent by book 3!
Ennui: Now… How do I get the patent over to everyone in the city… (muses while looking aloof)
(Everyone else screams and runs away from the zombies while the virologist is pondering…)
Most interesting is the airports because tourists often go there after a holiday. Assuming the zombies got to the airports, how many tourists will be quarantined before the overseas humans realise there is a zombie infection going on? Just food for thought!
My Army Captain MC is far too much of a U.S. military loyalist to tolerate deserters or any marauding soldiers that dishonour the military. My civilian militia turned badass zombie slaying task force will dismantle them and give any ex-service members among them a deserter’s punishment. And since martial law is in effect, civilian bandits among them aren’t getting to get off easy either.
My merry band of survivors will definitely work with your group
There need to be certain form of law and order to preserve humanity , whether it is implemented harshly by your group or via preaching effort by my group :-)
Classic Hero mistake, Chastising the villain telling them to be a good person, imprisoning them or letting them go just so they can come back and kill everyone you know and love and worst of all, being surprised they came back to ruin your life. While it does advance the story and allow popular villains to make a come back doesn’t make me not say “what were you thinking?”
This is a question for people who have military MC’s do you guys think Colonel Goodman isn’t getting his orders from the government and he’s just having us look for the Lancelot site so he and his soldiers can have a place to live and we’re just expendable ? Or do you think his orders are actually real ?
Colonel Goodman , i didn’t met him but he sound like the epilogue character in one of ending in original zombie exodus … there is also a secret site in that ending, but those military isn’t necessary good …
As for capturing Mara’s group and letting them go , it could be argue that there are always villains in this world , how many can we kill ? Reckless killing, even though they are villains might effect us in the long term … especially when our group members saw what we did they might think that it is righteous to kill anything on sight out of paranoia , i remember a fictional story about a heroic knight who slay an evil dragon but the blood of the evil dragon tainted him , and knowing that he may one day turn into the monster he once slay … he needs to kill himself before that happen … :-)
Well, not to say that we must spare anyone , but we hardly know the villains group who attack us… so it is the benefit of doubt that allow us to be merciful … like Keith’s group, if they never kidnap Kelly, i won’t had the mindset of killing him … if they had leave peacefully, i will only be hostile if they come again…
Unless of course the villain group is a well known notorious group who already had the reputation of mindless killing, then it is only wise for us to shoot on sight
Well…that at least is a minimum line i set for my group , just to ensure we set a difference between them and us… speaking of which, even for a robber, sometime the robber rob the victim but let the victim go unharm , he doesn’t have the mindset of let kills the victims so that they couldn’t identify him … not saying the robber is good, but we shouldn’t be worse than the robber … thinking of that even Makarov let Kelly unharm… i won’t be worse than Makarov :-)
Yeah they let Kelly live but I think you forgot about them killing Tommy’s mom…
Would you be merciful to these strangers if they killed members of your group? I’ve never known bandits and raiders to just take your supplies (which is the equivalent to killing us because in this situation we depend on it for survival) and leave.
I think killing people who have robbed and killed or attempted to kill members of your group and then just gunning down random strangers is a large leap. It doesn’t make sense that our group members would decide to kill everyone they come across when I’m talking about killing people who are actively trying to destroy or take away our livelihood .
Keith has clearly stated that if your not with him your against him and regardless of him kidnapping Kelly or not(depending on you letting him walk out) he still threatens to kill us if we don’t join him and this is while we’re in the process of getting to know him.
Yeah if the bandits start killing our members , then they had cross the line … we have to defend ourselves when we meet them again, same as Keith … he made his intention , and we declare that we are enemy … so next time we meet it will be life and death situation , that’s to say we have attempt to parley and now it is war
But in the earlier case , about capturing Mara for example, i and my group hardly know her … so we try our best to reason with her and let her go , but next time we meet we have declare ourselves as enemy as well , but i just couldn’t resist at least giving our invader a chance to rethink their action, everyone deserve at least a chance right ?
Strangers that are just minding their business deserve a chance not strangers that threaten to kill us and take our supplies (my opinion) If someone threatens us I think it’s in our best interest to take it seriously (just my opinion) and not risk the lives of those who depend on us.
that looks fun, the idea was MC manage to develop sort of a cure, then the RO being bitten so we test the cure on her … the antitode manage to partially heal the RO , which means she still turn into a zombie but with her own mind and memory , she will be sort of undead girlfriend who protect us… since she won’t afraid of being bitten again
