New Group Episode 3 new choices

[AceStarr]

After finishing straved to death we see a new group of people shall be joining our current group. It looks like the guy or is it girl? in the purple vest shall be very good at fighting do this mean we shall lose members through death or leaving with kenny??? will we have to choose a new character who skills may be fighting vs say someone like doug who is smart and if so who would you pick???

After finishing straved to death we see a new group of people shall be joining our current group. It looks like the guy or is it girl? in the purple vest shall be very good at fighting do this mean we shall lose members through death or leaving with kenny??? well we have to choose a new character who skills may be fighting vs say someone like doug who is smart and if so who would you pick???

It's clearly a woman, look at the still for episode 4 in the sewers.
If that's a man, he has a massive rack of Man Boobs for his lack of stomach fat.

PS: I pick the Women over the men, as rule of thumb. 1 Lee and 3 women (Lilly, Carley, and New Girl) can repopulate quicker and safer than 3 men (Lee, Doug, Ben) and 1 Lilly.

[CapnJay]

See i'm not the only one who thinks the brief seconds we see of em looks like a guy.

Also Doug over Luis {thats my nickname for him/her]
Carley over Luis
Luis over Kenny
Duck over Luis
Kaatja over Luis
Clementine over Everyone else
Lily over Luis
Luis over Ben

ha ha ha (im so dieing over here)

So death would you choose the new lady kung fu knife killer over doug or carly?

As I added in the PS
"I pick the Women over the men, as rule of thumb. 1 Lee and 3 women (Lilly, Carley, and New Girl) can repopulate quicker and safer than 3 men (Lee, Doug, Ben) and Lilly."

I really hope it won't be a Carley or New Girl situation (and I doubt it will since she's in the episode 4 still), but I'd LOVE to choose her over, say... Katjaa, Ben, or Duck. ESPECIALLY Duck. (I put them in order of "least want to choose" to "most want to choose")

[AceStarr]

yeah if i could keep carly and new girl that would be perfect as for having a team of women who can handle weapons and fight and as you stated repop the earth lol :)

[CapnJay]

Lee Carley, Lily, new Chick foursome or Lee can tell Clementine a bedtime Story

clem clem time for bed lol

[Matrox Yang]

Kenny, Doug and Clem all the way.

People who say they save the women so as to repopulate the earth clearly don't think very far ahead, you would not be able to repopulate the world safely with so few people, you'd need hundreds of men and women to make inbreeding less of a risk.

no but it is a start

[TheWaltzingBread]

I think its a little early to whip out the 'REPOPULATE TEH WORLDZ' card as there are still shambling zombies everywhere, could you imagine trying to find a safe place to give birth with those things around?

I will pick whoever keeps us alive, we cant repopulate if we are dead, and besides, its not like we are the ONLY people left on earth, we just lost contact with them. If I lost contact with my facebook friends I wouldnt think they were dead.

[Tymes Rhymes]

I guess it will depend on the situation. I chose Carley over Doug because we could repopulate and she had a gun. If the woman presents nothing to the group I may not save her. But the "re-population" factor is always on my mind.

[Milosuperspesh]

i'm leaning towards a guy in the purple jacket and the other looks a bit like duck if he grows older.

i got these sceen caps of them

the hair does a look a bit odd so i can see how it looks 'female'

The face does look neutral but she has tits.... clearly a women.

[GCatMMA]

"Bob had bitch tits"

"His name is Robert Paulson"

[Milosuperspesh]

he has no tit's it's just the jacket 'design' also the model it's self has not female curves

[franapbsilva]

I think the person with the purple jacket is a woman, no beard. And about the other guy? With this picture we can see that he has a bandage on his leg, and his shirt looks like Doug's, with a bear, dog or wathever. I think he is SO dead.

Also, if they sync up and all have their "lady days" at the same time the ZA will be the least of your worries.

Actually the numbers are the issue, not the ratio of men to women. The more women, the more fruitful the process will be. Women can die in Child Birth, and with the zombie apocalypse comes new complication of a dead baby eating its way out of the mother... More women can increase populations faster and also, if one woman dies in a tribe with a higher female to male ratio, the tribe is still alright. (Yah know, comparatively.)
Technically you could get away with a smaller group, provided there's a large genetic variance. Also, someone who studied genetics and evolution told me that Inbreeding isn't as big of an issue as people think, so long as the brother/sister type doesn't recur in multiple generations. Stating the problem is "manageable"(Though father/daughter mother/son is a horrible idea, with Cousins and distant relatives being the safest option.) It leads it sterility if done among immediate family for too long (which is the real danger of inbreeding)... Also, while the problem of birth defects is higher than with an outsider of the family, cousin relations only carry a 2% higher risk of deformities.

Native American tribes, like most tribes, are basically Families that grew to abnormal sizes. We're all related, and inbreeding has happened in every family tree (especially when the species was just starting out.)

You can manage a population, if you know what you're doing. (Arranged marriages and such). Also having a tribal system, with alliances so that you can marry between tribes to keep bringing fresh genetics in is a given in long term survival... (I've been studying on this stuff for a while. Used to be a Mayan NeoPagan, so I was convinced such knowledge would come in handy in the future. XD)

[Death689God]

Right because all my jackets bulge around the breast region... :rolleyes:
It's far more likely for a woman to lose her curves in a bulky Jacket than a man gain a rack from it.

[Milosuperspesh]

watched a clip of the preview i still think it's a guy

BUT

the hair is female 'ish'

if it is a woman she is dressing in a very masculine way to hide her identity ?

and she seems pretty skinny

so time will tell

She isn't dressed masculine... I see women dressed like that all the time during the winter. (And I'm from a southern state, where women still like to wear dresses, so...)

[Vainamoinen]

I'm sure Kirkman is ready to go exactly there, all graphical details included.

Let it sink in that the Games' trying to stay true to the spirit of the Comics? And these people are hoping for a happy ending. XD

[Milosuperspesh]

happy ending = clem lives with minimal damage

[Death689God]

Does being dead inside count as damage? Cause if she lives, that'll be what happens. XD

Wow... Are you suggesting... Maggie's baby will die and eat her from inside?.... wow that would be dark...

[Milosuperspesh]

well i have 3 playthroughs

my choices /go with my gut before walkers eats them mostly good to clem

2nd pro kenny good lee always doing everything nice to for clem

3rd is pro lilly/larry bad rough angry lee

[CapnJay]

After taking another look at these screenshots i'm reminded of a certain Saturday Nigth Live character.

[Saxin]

:confused: Its the jacket, It must be a male :D

PAT lol

that would be cool as hell if they made it were nobody in the group could figuere out if it was a guy or girl they should do that :)

[Vainamoinen]

My anatomy drawing skills are not exactly superb, but give me some insight into this. Shape of the mouth, angled eyebrows, small jaw all scream they were shooting for female. And, yes, she has breasts. :D

[ruairi46]

Princess lia or whatever that womans called in star wars. (im not a fan)

the more i look at 'her' i see more female attributes but still it's a wierd looking person...

dunno deciding to go unknown...

[marcu5]

The face does look neutral but she has tits.... clearly a women.

you'll be forced to eat those words in a few weeks

Too much comic relief from that...

yeah I was going to mention the face, but I don't have as good of excuse for why I know as you... In fact, my excuse would be "I watch a lot of anime, play a lot of games, etc."... :(

[CapnJay]

well eventually a con will come and a new trailer will reveal the truth.

[Gennadios]

Babies start out toothless, how exactly can they eat their way out?

[Death689God]

Babies start out toothless, how exactly can they eat their way out?

Rip, kick, and gum their way out then?.. Imagine how dangerous having an undead kid inside of you, *trying* to eat you is. Dale got ripped apart on the show, no teeth involved. (Also why Michonne cut her walkers arms off, probably.) Granted a baby's not that strong, but they're also on the inside already, so it would take a whole lot longer... Reminds me of a Chest Burster situation. (Even seen alien? If not, shame on you, and look up "Alien chest burster scene" on youtube.)

Babies also do not have the neural pathways formed for basic motor control. It takes about three to six months for them to even learn how to roll over and sit up, let alone use their appendages in a manner precise enough to attack anything. Seeing as how the "disease" takes over the brain, I don't think it will suddenly turn unborn babies into alienesque inside shredders.

Do not fear the Walker Babies.

Yeah, well, we're talking about a Disease that makes human flesh unconsumable if the person dies, even if it's detached from the body before they die... I wouldn't put my money on ANYTHING it produces being harmless.

Again, only dangerous if you attempt to consume said Walker Baby...I really hope you aren't suggesting that this might be an actual possibility.

The point I was trying to make was that it is about as harmless as an actual baby. The Walkers are dangerous because of two things - their bites and their voracious attacks. Take away these two abilities, and they're no longer dangerous.

No, I'm saying we can't really say how it will effect it. Also, as a woman, surely you can see the non biting, clawing, risks of having an Undead Baby inside of you... The problem of sleep deprivation alone, from all of the unrelenting movement as it *Tries* to rip and eat its way out.. Not to mention the problems and complications that come with child birth, imagine when that thing has to come out (and it will have to come out). The mothers chances of survival, even if the disease doesn't affect it in a way to make it more dangerous than a baby, are still rather slim.

Also, since the mother and child are still connected... Could there be some carry over? What if the baby turning slowly kills the mother from the inside out due to the umbilical cord connecting them? What if the Placenta dies, then it just follows up the grapevine until all of the organs shut down?

And I'M saying that it wouldn't be any more dangerous than those situations are already (miscarriage and what not).

And if childbirth was so deadly as you like to say, it's a wonder that any species manages to propagate itself long enough to reach a bronze age, let alone post-industrial as we have.

[CapnJay]

I guess we'll have to settle for Clementine bneing Lee's surrogate daughter rather then breeding with Carley



thats where this argument started right?

Interesting, that: humans have one of the most needlessly complicated and dangerous forms of Child Birth seen in nature... The more you know. :cool:

Also, the amounts of women dying in child birth and children dying before maturity are the reason populations stayed so low. We really didn't hit our boom the Post-Industrial.

Low populations actually probably had more to do with disease and plagues due to lack of sanitation, etc. while populations were smaller, they were still sizeable. The Roman Empire had somewhere around 100 million people within its borders, the native population of North America was around 10 - 20 million (90+% of them were killed by plague prior to wide-scale European colonization), etc.

You could also partly attribute the lower populations of yesteryear on things like food production (or lack thereof), agriculture wasn't anywhere near as advanced and ancient peoples weren't getting anywhere near the same output per acre of farmland as modern people.
