Well, sorry if I come off as a troll to you. And I can assure you there was nothing troll like in what you just said. Not one thing.Quote fromYou kind of seem like the obligatory thread-troll - someone who thinks his opinion is right, above all others, merely because you read the Zombie Survival Guide. Good on 'ya. Now take into consideration that it's just that, a Guide. This means that it can't necessarily be followed to a "T". Circumstances can vary, incredibly. What if you found yourself in the Resident Evil scenario? Your knowledge of Solanum should be tossed right out the window. Solanum is a fictional virus, much as the T-Virus is, it's difficult to argue which would exist in the "real world", because the way I see it - neither would. Those are merely two of an infinite amount of possibilities.
But anyway, yes, I base a lot of information off of the Zombie Survival Guide. This is really to help me ensure my own consistency on the matter. To be honest, I don't care what mechanism really turns people into zombies. People are free to debate the T-Virus and all that jazz all they want. I merely don't subscribe to those tenets of fiction.
The only thing I have really insisted people agree with me on are some basic things about the zombie itself. One is that it's an automaton completely intent on eating human flesh and nothing else, and also that it is generally slow moving and can only truly be destroyed by taking out its brain. When we're all in agreement that the nature of the zombie is a slow moving, uncoordinated, single-minded organism intent on eating human flesh then I find it much easier to debate on how to deal with the zombie on many levels.
Things like the voodoo zombie and the infected in 28 Days Later I don't consider to be zombies. Voodoo zombies can supposedly do a number of tasks, and the infected wish to kill non-infected but not necessarily feast on their flesh. The feasting on human flesh to me is such a critical criteria of the zombie.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go look up this word, obligatory. Welcome to the forums, by the way.

Druids need more love!
I need to read a little more before I'd attempt to posit their relation to Trag'Oul, though.
Nice subject, Atru.
