Talk:Bill

His list of quotes is getting quite long. Perhaps we should make a quotes page? That way the quotes could be a more complete list, and this page wont seem as cluttered. Anyone agree?--Firstcabalist088 05:45, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, of course Bill has a lot of quotes! He's awesome!  I just find it funny how he has so many, but poor Louis doesn't have very many at all...  Oh, well.  If Bill gets more, we'll make him a separate page for his quotes, and then hopefully we can get more quotes from the other Survivors, and make them their own pages.  I think Francis has enough material, as well...people just have to go through and find it. - §tigma-231  ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 05:51, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Haha, Bill is awesome! But yea, I was thinking either individual quote pages, or just one big page, so that way 'church guy' can be thrown in there, as well as maybe the rescue teams (in the dialogue with the survivors)--Firstcabalist088 05:57, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I suppose we could all discuss it and maybe call a vote, or something to that effect. That way, everyone will (hopefully) be satisfied with what we do with the quotes. - §tigma-231  ¤ ৳ here's a hole in my neighbourhood [ talk  ][ cont ] 06:07, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I think only certain quotes should be added... the ones that stand out the most or only appear during special circumstances. Otherwise we'll end up putting the Survivors entire sound files on here, unless that's what is decided as being the ultimate goal. If we do decide to add every quote, a sub-page should be created for each character to keep the main page from looking cluttered. --MadDawg2552 15:18, 22 February 2009 (UTC) Edit:  We can do both, now that I think about it. Only put a few quotes on the main page and all the rest on a sub-page. --MadDawg2552 15:19, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Say, why do we have Bill's last name and no one else's? - Five Dog 21:41, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not even entirely sure where people got the name from. I wish they'd reference it...  In any case, apparently we haven't heard anything about the others' last names. - §tigma-231  ♠ ৳ hаt i ɯill nəvər escaρe [ łalk  ][ ςont ] 22:04, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * From, what I've heard, I think you can see his last name on his green jacket (only visible on high settings) DAWeeE1 18:32, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, you guys were right. I found it, this is a picture from Bill's texture file.

There it is, clear as day, "Overbeck". -- Five Dog (talk) 01:24, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, cool! Nice find. :) - §tigma-231  ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 01:30, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Staying Behind

 * "If Bill is being controlled by the AI, he will sometimes stay behind at the end of the Finale to kill as many zombies as possible. This can become very annoying when the Tanks start to show up, as they will be able to enter the vehicle while Bill is being attacked."

Surely this can apply to any AI controlled survivor, can't it? -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 22:53, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It can, and it does. - §tigma-231 ♠ o  ƒ  my caliber { τalk }{¢ont } 23:31, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

And what about:
 * "It should be noted that when the Francis player dies, and Bill passes by his corpse, he actually starts crying for a few seconds."

I've never heard Bill cry in my entire experience of Left 4 Dead. And Francis has died SO many times with Bill saying something like: "I'm gonna miss that Son-of-a-bitch." Until someone confirms him crying, I'll remove it. It's better to have less information that is completely correct, than more information that is incorrect. -- Five Dog ( Talk ){ Updates } 22:03, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Five Dog i think whoever put it means if you listen carefully you can here quite alot of depression in his voice and one time i had heard say im gonna miss that man and his gun in quite a crying manner. Riley Heligo 17:38 30/6/09

Age
It says that his age is at least 52 if the game occured in 2009 but we all know that if he served in 1969 that would make him really underaged to serve in 'Nam and to get a Green Beret at the age of 12 but one of his comments say that the zombie apocalypse is less horrifying than the one in '57 (althoug this was a joke by him), it could be possible he was born somewhere after 1940 but before 1950 so he migth be around his 60's or maybe even pushing 70. This is just my opinion but its kind of safe to say he is not 52.--ASEC 08:09, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
