Would you rather...

[Carley]

Group A: You, Doug, Me and Lilly.

Group B: You, Katjaa, Duck, Clem, Kenny, and Ben.\


Discuss.

I'd pick A, Doug for the chillness, some guy that'd pass you a beer because you're too lazy to reach over to the minifridge yourself, Carley because she's supportive, kind, caring, reliable and trustworthy as well as a damn good shot, as well as Lilly because she's a hardworking person that tries to make plans and ration out supplies that'll give every ounce of energy towards keeping us safe no matter what happens.

With group B you'd get, Katjaa, a kind lady without much use besides first aid. Duck, an annoying at first kid... until they had to all of a sudden make him the fucking cutest boy ever. Clem, a kid that is adorable but hard to work with at times and freezes up, and that tool Kenny who talks all the time of having your back but when it comes down to it, he'll pussy out and freeze up more than Clem, and Ben, the useless as hell tool who will end up screwing you over because he's so scared and doesn't want to die.

Take your pick. Slightly bias, but that is my own opinion, feel free to make your own summary.

[Viden]

I may be a little overprotective, but I wouldn't trade Clem for the world. I'm even willing to put up with the others as long as I'm there to protect her.

[Cyreen]

Carley and Doug are roadkill. I liked Katjaa and Duck and leaving Clem behind would defeat the entire story.

[Carley]

I'm saying this as in, you only know of one group's existance, which one would you choose.

[Viden]

Again, the children every time. I couldn't live with myself knowing I abandoned a group with children in it, especially if it was for a group of quite capable adults. I'm not sure if I'd ever live through the zombie apocalypse, but you can bet your ass I will fight tooth and nail to ensure they do.

[Cyreen]

Same. I like Katjaa, Duck and Clem. Kenny has his moments and Ben might have potential if you hit him in the back of the head hard enough.

[Carley]

But you wouldn't know that you abandoned children... If you choose A, the other group wouldn't exist, if you choose B, the other group wouldn't exist..

[DreadMagus]

Gotta protect the kids.

So, we (Lee) just see two group of strangers and have to decide which one to go with?

We're a single man with a choice of going with a married couple with 3 kids or two attractive women and a guy you definitely have better looks and personality than?

Hmm. Lets see...

I don't know! This is a hard one.

It really makes no difference. The second group also has more manpower and practical survival skills. Not to mention that protecting the kids gives me a reason to live at all. Honestly, in such a bleak environment, even the possibility of hooking up with someone really wouldn't be enough to keep me going. But once children come into play, it's not about me anymore. It's about them. And that gives me the drive to survive, if only so they can live to see another day.

Edit: I understand that Carley can shoot, but that's useless once bullets are out. She doesn't seem to have much else going for her. Doug is a tech guy, and out of his element here. Lilly is the only one with any kind of experience.

Kenny is an able-bodied man, and a fisherman too. From the looks of him, he probably knows how to hunt too. Kat may not be useful in the physical labor department, but she has the kids taken care of and can utilize her medical knowledge (even if it is veterinary.) Ben, although he's 17, can still pull his weight. And, depending on how long it lasted, Duck and Clem would eventually be able to help too.

I'll admit, not perfect. But I still stand by it.

[thestalkinghead]

from a survival perspective the teams are a bit one sided , doug is team A's only combat weakness, but on team b Duck and Clementine are a drain on your survival potential and ben and katjaa are combat weaknesses

just a guess but you were team lilly and picked carley right? that is defiantly the the combination that would have the worst (as in really sad) impact on you as the player, because your friends cant be friends.

i only mention this because of the loaded choices you presented

[Cyreen]

I think you're supposed wanna hang with the cool kids.

[Phoenix VII]

If I was Lee, I wouldn't give up Clem for the world, but since I'm not Lee, I'll take the Duck/Ben-free group. Glad Larry wasn't in group A otherwise I'd have had trouble picking.

[DreadMagus]

Now that I understand the question better.

I go with C - solo - either group would likely end up with me dead.

First, let me say that if you know nothing about them then you don't know what skills they do or don't have so some of your arguments kind of don't make sense.

Second, the world is ending and you're only motivation to live is to be a fucking nanny?

I feel you! I know if I ever face a pending horrible death, sleeping with attractive women is last thing on my list. What joy is there in that?

Taking care of somebody's else's kids? That's where the real joys at. We could all only be so lucky

I was actually going to write out a long-winded reasoning behind my decision and why your reasoning is potentially flawed, and so-on before I remembered that it really doesn't matter.

This is the Walking Dead. Everyone will die eventually, often at the most inopportune time in the most gruesome way. And most importantly: It's all fictional.

Duplicate account?

Be careful, by the way. If there were a group with both Doug and Carley, Carley will probably lean toward Doug rather than you, she clearly stated she likes him in the end of ep.1. So, no kiss for you.
Thus, however cruel it might sound, killing Doug has its practical benefits.

Oh, Doug would die for sure. "Oh my God. Doug's died! We were gathering supplies when walkers attacked. I barely made it! It was so horrific. Lilly, Carley, hold me? It's kind of cold, so can we get naked and get close for body heat? Thanks."
