Talk:The Survivors

Is it "okay" with everyone/the admin/whoever to set up a seperate "Trivia" page for the survivors? There's a whole lot of information that could be added that, while not vital, does make people interested in the game. Dashade 21:50, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's trivia. We don't exactly need an article filled with trivial things that could just be put on this article or onto the individual playable Survivors' articles. - §tigma-231  ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 22:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Relationship with Other Survivors?
Do you guys think it would be a good idea to add a section to each of the Survivors' own articles, detailing what their relationship with other Survivors appears to be? Of course, we'd have to mark it as speculation, but a lot of wikis do that. I think it would be a nice addition, myself. - §tigma-231 ¤ ৳ here's a  hole  in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 16:11, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

i dont think it a good idea due there not going to be much to work from and also your starting to slip into the fanon side of things and all that can lead to is alot of trouble lol Spygon 17:09, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Aw, no details about Francis and Bill's apparent love-hate friendship, or how close Zoey and Louis seem to be?


 * How am I slipping into fanon, anyway? I know the line.  I'm basing the idea on things that happen in the game; how Bill and Francis are always antagonizing each other, for instance.  Bill wipes whatever the goo is that he finds from the corpse(s?) at the beginning on Francis, Francis constantly says things like, "What if just your beard starts to turn?  Can I shoot that, too?", calls him a helpless old man and "Grandpa Bill"...  He doesn't pick on the others nearly as much.  Fanon would be saying something like Francis secretly loves Zoey, but he's trying too hard to act like a tough guy to let it show. - §tigma-231  ¤ ৳ here's a  hole  in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 19:41, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Time to chime in... First, Zoey and Francis were originally supposed to have a relationship but because of feedback from the playtesters, they took that side-story out. Louis was originally supposed to be comic relief as well... Bill... Well, who cares. Bill, for all we know, was originally supposed to be insane and dancing around in his grandmas panties rubbing himself with peanut butter. This was all mentioned on official sources (and in Commentary Mode).
 * Second, I agree with Stigma: Francis and Bill clearly antagonize each other. Try playing with the sound on.
 * Third, Stigma, if you make the page, I'll help fill it. It's a wiki - anyone can add something relevant, and the so-called "fanon" (which has been verified in-game) is just as much a part of the game as the rest. It's about time we stop obsessing over game-stats, glitches, exploits and maps and get into the theories, ideas, backgrounds and stories that make the game just as, if not more, interesting than other FPS games.

 * I think the information about the relationships would go on each Survivor's respective articles as a section. Depending on how in-depth it is, we could make a subsection for each of the other Survivors, detailing the projected relationship between the two characters.  If little detail is gone into, then it would simply be a paragraph or two highlighting the main parts of it, with references given as to make the theory more...solid. - §tigma-231  ¤ ৳ here's a  hole  in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 03:23, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
