I would definitely not choose Delora, you already know she's that person you always gotta keep from eating rotten trash or some shit. And then she's always causing problems on top of it, she'd inevitably strain the team dynamic. And if you don't choose BR with her god knows what that would look like. She'd probably be loud asf too. Nah.
Jim would be a good survivor, but the team dynamic would probably be rough.
Turncoat seems like a rewarding but risky team member, I can see TC being integral and then going their own way down the road. But I lack the foresight Turncoat provides, so I think that would outweigh my fears.
Tryptamine would survive and bring a good team dynamic. Plans would go well in this group, he is adaptable and strategic. Maybe his alcoholism would be an issue, but then again in the apocalypse it might be just fine. Good choice.
C4 would survive too, fine lad who seems quick on the draw so we can carry out plans easily. But I think in a lot of cases we would fulfill the same role in a group like this. In an apocalypse it may be a nonissue but I would seriously weigh it.
CS would be another high risk high reward member, but with a baby in play I've got to pass.
I can see BR being a pretty good choice without Delora. You'd have to save his ass in the beginning but he always learns. Eventually he'd be leading a community.
Alice has been talking about buying ammunition and shit, so assuming there's some interest in survivalist shit underneath the interest there, that's a plus. But being so mysterious, I think Alice may be hiding something. In the zombie apocalypse, that secret could end up killing me. My gut says to pass on this.
Peach seems like she'd survive too, and both of them together would be a pretty good team dynamic actually. But I also think choosing both of them could be risky. That'd make you the odd man out, so if push came to shove it makes more sense that you'd be the one getting shoved for their sake. Same deal with Delora and BR, but I see them doing it in a less benevolent way for some reason. Also, I think Peach's soap business could turn out to be really lucrative eventually in the apocalypse. I just have a feeling there's an apocalypse market for it. I would seriously weigh this. Back to Alice and Peach, if you only chose one, only Peach or only Alice... could they function as well knowing the other was probably gone? Doubt it. So I think romantic couples are out of the running because it can get too complicated.
I'd like to choose Alena, she is fun, courageous, and I think she would survive and thrive with the right group. I'm not sure how she'd react to the world ending, so that is a risk to consider. Plus sometimes she is unpredictable and that's what would make our group a group of main characters.
Sugar seems like a pretty solid choice, she is creative and I think she would survive too. I like the way she schemes so carrying out plans would go well with her. I'd like to choose her but you'd have to be careful about who else is in the team. If you go with the obvious Sugar and Alena combo there's also that possibility that you'd be the odd man out like before, but I can still see a tight team happening there eventually in this situation.
Xadem also seems like a solid choice, another creative person, plus I don't see any problems except maybe having to maintain a certain level of morality like Fallout 3 or some shit. Not sure if that's the case though.
I'd never pick Edvard. Even if you humored everything else, all it would take is the sight of one woman for the group to fall apart.
Spatial Mind is a pass, I think he'd make a really weird group dynamic I don't need to deal with. But I see more group and survival potential in him than Edvard.
Blanc could survive and I'd probably think she was really funny in person, but in a serious situation I see her flaking out on me. Plus she's more of a wild card like CS. No clue how she'd turn out in an apocalypse.
Dima seems like a survivor, but I don't understand him at all so I don't know what I could expect or how to feel about it.
Medbedhead would die.
User33313 is pretty straight and would probably survive too, but I get the feeling if you aren't rock solid they might have second thoughts about you. Maybe it'd come to head and User would look the other way while you're having a life or death moment for what they see as the greater good, and maybe you won't agree. This is an issue Turncoat may have as well.
I think Chapo would survive and be a good choice as long as you have the same goals. But if you don't, you are probably fending for yourself. It could still work that way, but I think a tight-knit team is most important in an apocalypse. It seems like impersonal groups degenerate quickly.
That's why one of my picks for team spite would be Alena and Sugar, I think that team would be cooperative, be the most fun, and get sharp as fuck over time. Sugar's plans, Alena's charm, and my retardation would make for a crack team.
However I think the best, lowest risk team spite would be with Tryptamine and Xadem. It would survive easily. I can see the cooperation and trust happening. Tryptamine is more strategic and I'm pretty sure we'd have the same mindset, Xadem is innovative and can be the voice of reason. I can see it working out pretty well. The only draw is I'm not sure if that group's teamwork would develop much over time. I would like an endgame too.
I think another interesting team would be Turncoat and User33313, I can see it as the highest risk highest reward. If it worked out, I think it has the most potential to become its own community eventually. Turncoat is a thorough strategic mind, User33313 is smart as a WAP and seems like a fine lad. I think I'd be more of a tool to this group, but groups need some of that. I think rebuilding is the most important apocalypse endgame, and that sounds like a good mixture of roles as long as they don't run off into the sunset together with my hub cap collection.
