    who do you guys suspect would be the first to snap under the stress and have to be forcibly taken down, making us all somber to the knowledge of what we've had to become?

    If we come across people we find unsuitable for our Zombie savior force it would be in our best interest to plug them so they don't tell other people that we're turning living humans away. If any of them go organized they might strike back at us out of vengeance and we'd have a two-front war on our hands.

    So we have to be prepared to deal with:
    Zombies (shamblers and draggers)
    Quislings
    LaMOEs (Last-Men-On-Earth, renegade, armed humans)
    Bitten humans
    Hostile raiders
    Suicidal/Z-shocked humans (who might want to take others with them)
    Zealots (who believe the zombie curse is the reckoning and may want to sabotage survivors)

    Quislings, they make subs, right?

    Honestly, I think it would be that person who had just lost their whole family, right in front of their very eyes. So, whoever lives in a major city close to their family. You have anyone specific in mind?

    edit: Naporean, I have a clear vision of what is necessary for survival and it is mostly morale and willpower. You show me a man that says a stiff drink isn't good for morale, and I'll show you a man about to be sacrificed to zombies.

    i live in a major city close to my family, but i've watched family die since i was about three so i think i'd just be bummed, not psychotic

    i wasn't thinking of anyone specific, but it had crossed my mind that if knob was the one to snap it would be a boss battle of epic proportions

    No, no. Psychopaths aren't crazy and suicidal.

    They're the ones that will have the least problem with dispatching infected friends, and/or those unsuitable for the convoy.

    Yeah, but you would have to put an axe to Zombie Fram's head after he turns.

    I for one would be completely inconsolable for like 10 minutes after having to decapitate my zombie family. Then I'd pack up my gear, load the shotgun, and hook up with the convoy to start our survival trail to freedom.

    I'm not a psychopath, but I'm a realist. If I needed to kill one to save many, well then that one is going to get a face full of 12 gauge. Then I'd eat a sammich and start doing my convoy chores.

    I've always been good in a crisis. Like I said before, I can turn the emotional side of my brain off in dire situations. This is why I can talk about things like killing innocent, yet potentially dangerous civilians for the greater good and not have a single pang of conscience.

    I'm certain my father and mother would follow their own plan and try to get me to go along. I'm also sure this would get them flat-out killed. My brother would want to go with me, he's 17, smart and athletic. He'd be useful. Unfortunately there's a good chance he'd be pressured to go die with my parents. My sister is a wild card. She's 15. She'll either become an emotional wasteland and follow my parents blindly, fight tooth and nail to go with me (I would seriously consider leaving her behind) or she'd pop a gasket and lock herself up in a room of the house, staying behind.
    I would only save her if I thought she could be controlled due to the extreme stress she was under. Otherwise she'd cause more problems than solve, plus I don't want any of you trying to fuck her if we do manage to join up with the convoy.

    Seriously, I'd break your knees and throw you under a truck.

    Survival isn't for people who would need years of counseling after having to put down their turned zombie family members. Those people are zombie fast food.

    You may have the ability to detach when necessary, but the difference between you and a clinical psychopath is that you can "reattach" when necessary. I've seen enough of your posts to know that you are capable of feeling remorse for your actions.

    Not all of us do, however.

    The thing to remember is that the psychopath's detachment applies across the board: he's always on the lookout for number 1, and has no compunction about lying to close friends and associates.

    i'd smoke a single cigarette off my family's back deck, my shirt still splattered in their blood

    i would watch the city burn and inhale deep
