p.s.Nice comic)I wish they make second with l4d survivors backstories!

Rest in peace Bill (((

At the end, we see them sailing away though...It's an optimistic ending. I think they'll manage somehow. Nightmirage 21:13, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Yea I think their story is over I just hope the L4D2 survivors arn't safe I will need more L4D and I mean come on why even make a third when you could do DLC and just get more people upset at Valve.Sniperteam82308 21:21, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

I didn't mean to imply that their story is over. In fact, I definitely think it isn't. Valve knows how much so many players love these characters. I don't think we've seen the last of Louis, Zoey, and Francis. Nightmirage 22:00, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I remember an interview I saw on YouTube concerning The Sacrifice. The rep said that this was not the end of the story for Zoey, Lewis, and Francis, and Value already had more planned for them (as for another survivor joining them, it was a definite "maybe"). My thought is this: if this part of the comic started with a dream sequence, why can't it end with one? Perhaps the last page is just one of them dreaming of their escape to the Keys (I would think it would be Zoey, as the dream seems very "hollywood" happy ending, and she is the movie buff)? Or perhaps they will make it to the Keys, only to find that the islands are not as safe they thought it would be? Who knows. Midnightchemist 23:38, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Couldn't agree more midnightchemist. This absolutely reeks of a feminine dream sequence - even the "on top of the world!" bow-of-the-Titanic visual meme was captured. More logically how would three people subsist for anything more than a few weeks on a deserted Florida Keys island? As factual testimony it is seriously deficient in credibility.

I'm actually crying :'( Gabriel 95 23:22, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Bill you are awesome. And I see many people wondering why the survivors on the other bridge when the second survivors come. well i was thinking maybe the origonal survivors had them fill the generator so the gas tank so they could raise it again. Just thinking ^_^

Oh good but unfortunatly my favorite survivor is dead now. They need a new survivor though don't they?Sniperteam82308 23:44, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

I have a feeling it might not end for the old survivers, just because it shows them sailing off into the sunset doesn't mean the fights over. It could be an opening for another game, because who knows where they might end up :D - Ayllus

Since they are sailing east to the Keys, wouldn't they then be sailing into the sunrise? Midnightchemist 20:54, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

I have to wonder...if there are 3 Tanks during the beginning of the Sacrifice finale...then 4 more during the actual sacrifice...and then 2 can come at a time during the Passing finale...where in the hell are all these Tanks coming from? Was there a steroid convention in this small town?

To whom it may concern
Whoever is editing each part of the comic, please don't put random capitalization on random words. Please save it for proper nouns, the start of new sentences, and names. It's a real pain in the ass to have to correct these things due to how tedious it can get. Thank you. Lordgeorge16 21:46, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

How did they actually move the boat pass the other side of the bridge?
At first, they have raise the bridge to get the boat pass to the other side,

but as we can see it is safe to assume that they stayed up there and have not came down at least until after they met L4D2's survivors.

But how? If L4D2's group guys lower the bridge that means that L4D1's group must go down and raise up again?

or if they came down to move that boat before they met L4D2's group, why would they still stay up there?

This doesn't make any sense (and sorry about my language skill, it doesn't make sense either) Chawit Chiwarattanaphan 22:59, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed - I'm struggling with the logic and chronology behind this crazy plotline.

Phase 1: original survivors find boat that's on the up-river side of the lowered bridge.

Phase 2: original survivors raise bridge - this freeing the boat's access to the open sea. Bill is killed.

Phase 3: original survivors either hang around for some reason or in immediate period after the carnage and Bill's death sequal survivors arrive in a car and want the bridge lowered just so they can bring a car across the bridge: this is patently absurd. Original survivors agree to lower the bridge but require them to travel under the river in a tunnel to refuel the generator that powers the bridge so that they can then bring their car across: this is patently absurd.

Phase 4: sequal survivors arrive on opposite side, refuel the generator, the bridge is lowered and they depart in a cloud of dust for New Orleans. The boat is now trapped up-river - just as it was in Phase 1!!!

Cracked logic: if the sequal survivors can travel on foot under the river in a tunnel, they can easily find a working car on the other side to get to NO - this is America the land of the automobile afterall. No need whatsoever to lower the bridge! Trowzerkoff 05:33, October 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * They played the elegy of emptiness before leaving so the people you actually have on your side are just clones of the original Survivors. :D But seriously I think they might have moved the boat past the bridge already and were going back for Louis or something. There's a number of different reasons. Maybe they're waiting for the proper wind. After all it is a sailboat.

 * Fair enough Jo. However: [1] the boat is moored on the up-river side of the bridge and thus its access to the open sea is again blocked by the nonsensically re-lowered [!] bridge. [2] the sea tide is ebbing [the bow of the boat is pointing up-river] so at a pinch all the Survivors would have to do is to raise the anchor, put the helm over and let themselves be taken out to open water by the river's flow. [3] it would be most unusual [even illegal in some jurisdictions and definitely uninsurable by most boat insurance companies] for a modern sailing boat not to have a serviceable auxillary engine available for use in port and when winds are fluky or absent.

 * At this point, the only justification I can think of for the Survivors hanging around and not following their time-honored practice of getting out of Dodge asap [Francis fireman's carrying Louis] is that the tide has dropped too far, the boat's keel has grounded and they are waiting for the tide to turn before getting aboard and beating feet.

 * If I had to guess, I'd say they just hadn't left yet because Louis was injured. LazyLord777 01:14, October 7, 2010 (UTC)
