Mon - I already said I was going to post once you said you were done. That'll be sometime today.

Khelshar and Dilange - Are you taking Thomas and Chris out of the picture? Don't forget Scott still has Chris investigating the Watchers' inside man.

No, I only have Chris. Yoni died(which wasnt my fault but meh).

[Tiltjuice]

Yeah, OK, fair enough.

Also, let me know when the main group (not Scott, Shelton and Taylor and/or Yussef, Andrew and Johnny) are done with the cleaning up thing. I want to make them daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaance.

Well maybe if Gabrielle got her lazy ass over here to help clean up then, it go much faster.

Speaking as someone who has done that, how many people does it take to clean someone up? Not more than 2. And I would make her, if I weren't busy.

I haven't made many posts recently because I didn't expect that literally nothing would happen with most of the convoy, so I had Finn sit down and wait for the bus to start moving. I have a tendency to skim over walls of text, so if anything has actually happened regarding the bus and I missed it, my mistake. If not, then me not making any mosts is simply due to the fact that there is nothing to make a post about.

Yeah. We've all been busy. I'll post today, soon. Promise.

This is not how "cold" it usually is? How cold is the useall Michigan winter?

The usual Michigan winter (at least this year) is too cold and snowy to be traveling and/or fighting in.
The group should relocate to the Captain's compound in Tennessee.

I think Tennessee is too far for the group to realistically get to, with all the walkers plus other obstacles along the way. I mean the group in the show hasn't even been out of Georgia yet. Long distance travel is hard as hell in a zombie apocalypse . Also, if we took the plane, I think it would be too much of a cop-out you know? It's seems like the RP would end up "they all make it to Tennessee and live happily ever after yay!" Plus it could be a seen as a bit of a power grab on Shelton's part

[Camicon]

Not going to be able to post for three days, starting tomorrow. Behave, don't try to OOCly murder each other, yadda yadda yadda, I'll be getting updates on my phone.

The problem with the compound idea is that it robs much of the conflict from the story in favour of wish fulfilment. The Walking Dead is about how regular people struggle to survive in a world that's only getting worse and probably will stay that way. There's no military or government to wisk people away and solve everyone's problems, it's all about survivial, and the lengths people will go to achieve that, even at the cost of their humanity.

This is why I'm a big supporter of the group heading south on foot, the danger and lack of resources becomes an even bigger factor as the snow begins to pile up. It makes for the RP to be more interesting, and therefore, longer lasting.

I'm also gonna ^^this this. I think there has already been enough easy life and military. I understand that military personnel will have a higher chance of survival because of their skills, but i think they make up kinda to much of the group. There has been alot of smooth sailing. Now it seems like finaly shits going to hell, and it should stay that way. But if we go to that compound and surive there, what will then happen? Then Episode 2 will happen again. Not that it was bad or anything, but i think we don't need an entire episode about safety again. We need to be moving. Like if the cars break down. As i said, lets go far. Tennessee isnt that far. If we get a goal that can help us in long terms, but not immedality, like Dakota, i think that will be the best. Not many live there, but it will still be challenging, with nature and everything it got, and eventual hoards of zombies passing by.

I laugh at your shortsightedness.

We'd first have to clear out the airfield (there'd be a horde there when we returned) like at the beginning of Season 3 with the prison. THEN we'd all pile into a plane together and try to fly to Tennessee but crash in the smoky mountains and then we'd spend that episode hiking through zombie infested mountains trying to reach safety. Then in the next episode we travel some more through less rural parts of Tennessee until we finally reach The Compound. Then in the next episode we all try to adjust to peaceful life in the compound (maybe a few people get uppity and try to lead coups or whatever against Shelton because he's a ruthless enforcer of the law and kind of scary, maybe Scott gets disgruntled because he's not in charge anymore, maybe the group doesn't get along well with Shelton's)
and we all have to go through some shit to keep the compound functioning (scavenging supplies as well as stopping rebellions and the like)
then in the episode after that the compound could get attacked OR we could all get seperated from the compound for whatever reason and have to fight our way back where we find out about a large safe zone in the Rocky Mountains or wherever and in the next episode we try to get there but end up having to walk across several states or whatever.

Boom. Fly to Tennessee and we've got plots for like, five more episodes.

see above and @ bolded,
now you get it! DRAMA!

Your Magic 8-Penguin says all signs point to yes.

[Cylarn]

Why don't we go to North Carolina, because...how should I put this? It's better than Tennessee.

Let's go to the Grand Canyon! I've always wanted to go, but I live in England...

Because Shelton already has a virtual mini-fortress in Tennessee AND the Cumberland Plateu (where his compound is located) has been called the "Redoubt of the East" be survivalists/doomsday preppers due to its small population, distance from large cities and roads, amount of game, number of armed citizens, and number of self sufficient people living there. MOST experts on the subject of surviving long term disasters like an EMP, nuclear war, financial collapse or zombiegeddon all agree that the West Coast and/or Mid-West is best for it (because of their VERY small population compared to east coast, huge number of self sufficient people, huge number of farms and huge number of armed citizens and game) the Cumberland Plateu of Tennessee is one of the few places on the East Coast that also has these qualities and because of this, Capt. Shelton's compound is located there, in a rural area surrounded by fish, game, water and very few zombies. Shelton has no idea if the Cooridnator in North Carolina is still alive or not. He was GOING to find out but SOMEONE kidnapped his girlfriend *glares at Stannelson's fictitious corpse*

[Dimoniquid]

Fictional girlfriend. Don't get too carried away with this, Pho. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LIKE, GODRAMMIT

[Monfrox]

There are some camps of Allison's people in Michigan. Specifically three.

Scott doesn't need your Coordinators. NC is too awesome for Coordinators, so I say we hole up in the Outer Banks.

[Dimoniquid]

I SAY WE GO TO ENGLAND, AND FIGHT 28 DAYS LATER STYLE.

First off it's Phonz or Phonzie (or Phoenix)
Second, I'm not getting carried away. Capt. Shelton is fictitious character that just happens to be named after me and is based loosely off two other fictitious characters, each of which may or may not be based in part off of their creators. This roleplay is totally not some creepy wish-fulfillment thing for me...At all. Seriously. *fights a giggle at blatant lie*

I SAY WE GO TO ENGLAND, AND FIGHT 28 DAYS LATER STYLE.

Because that worked out SO well for them...

Coordinators are the only force in the post-apocalypse world with access to fortified compounds, large amounts of weapons, ammo, clothing, food, water, fuel and medical supplies as well as special forces training and equipment AND leadership abilities. and contact with a possible government safezone around the rocky mountains but whatever
