tl;dr, I give up.

Eat my brains.

Well I just said I'd go in the direction he came from. But it's ok Conan, I think the best man (woman) won.

But I didn't say he came from the East, now did I?

Scenario 3: "Refugee Camp"

You reach an old, isolated and seemingly abandoned warehouse. Extremely carefully you suss out the surroundings and after witnessing no movement at all you decide to venture inside. You kick down a door only to be immediately knocked out by what feels like the butt of a gun.

When you regain consciousness you are in the warehouse surrounded by a small group of people who initially knocked you out to make sure you weren't infected. There is a man, probably in his 30s, a woman of around about the same age or younger, and a child who looks about 12. They explain that there were originally more survivors taking refuge in the warehouse but they either left or became infected. They explain that one of the other survivors had recently left the warehouse to search for other possible survivors but had not yet returned. You realise that this is probably the man you killed in the forest.

The woman explains that she is going to travel to a nearby town where she has family. She is taking the child with her, although they are not related. She has a working car, two guns that she has picked up along the way, and a very small amount of food and water.

The man explains that he is going to travel towards the coast. He doesn't have a car but he is equipped with a baseball bat and a first aid kit, including an adrenaline Epipen, bandages, saline, some scissors, and other standard first aid equipment.

What is your next move? Please provide reasons for your choice.

I convince the woman that her family is probably infected already, and that going there is pointless. I get her to drive me, the boy, and the man to the coast - this way all of the equipment is together and we are safer traveling in larger numbers to a more deserted part of the state.

Kaimon

I'd ask to go with the woman and child since I've haven't had much to eat or drink. As we're about to drive, I'd knock them out with the butt of one of the guns (or kill them if I had found any bite marks) and try to drive back to the man heading to the coast. I'd probably threaten him with the gun for his equipment, and knock him out.

Now I have less to people to take care of and have all the available equipment.

EDIT: asdfghjkl. Too late.

While Kaimon may survive, he is not the FIRST survivor and his situation isn't as ideal as Conan's for various reasons:

- People who travel alone in times such as a zombie apocalypse are more susceptible to becoming ruthless, frightened, mad, tired and thus easily defeated. The fact that you so willingly abandoned and violently injured fellow humans indicates that you display these features.

- If you encountered large groups of zombies you would be alone in fighting them off. More people means more weapons against zombies. While single zombies hardly pose threats due to being slow and dumb, large groups of zombies are dangerous.

- Traveling in a group means you can get rest/sleep while others take watch. Rest and sleep is important in remaining strong.

- More people means more minds for problem solving.

- "Hey, cover me!"

Etc!

Uh-oh, late post edit.

Actually, I'd still just go in the direction he came from. I'm not sure I believe him about the camp, but he obviously came from somewhere so I'd rather investigate that.

This game is pretty fun.

edit: just read your rating post. Guess it does exist... in that case I die I suppose.
