Going to get serious here. I really don't understand why she/they didn't let those people in. I mean her and her family were taken in by Strand in a sense. How would they have gotten out of LA in the first place. Then to add to that, they were taken in AGAIN by Strands lover. So they found a hotel that already had some inhabitants who were there FIRST. Wouldn't that make them be "taken in" yet again? So there are a lot of people at the gate...so what? I think the first order of business would be that there is safety in numbers, more hands make light work, and every other cliché term that is out there.

 

You do not! How do you DO that??? lmao

 

Omg I didn't even think about that.

We had a doggie door made for sliding glass doors, it was a long piece of framed glass with a flapper door at the bottom, and you just close the sliding glass door on it. Looked like this:



And when we would have the sliding glass door wide open to the balcony, my dogs refused to just walk in the HUGE OPEN DOORWAY into or out of the apartment. They would always use the tiny ass doggy door. No matter how hard we tried to get them to use the BIG OPEN SPACE. Creatures of habit I know.

All those refugees should feel like my dogs. I know I do. :zombies_blush:

 

It's a mess. Madison made one of the worst decisions seen in TWD universe.

 

Omg YAS :zombies_cuinlove::Chainsaw:

 

played out over used fourm gifs? eh.. not funny but I give you a pass since you're older than everyone else.. Don't expect ya to be current..

 

All I did was make one harmless joke about the guy's age, I think that's the least I could do considering all the bad rep spamming? no?

I keep forgetting these old plumpers must have really high blood pressure so anything sets em off.. even so I didnt expect 5 people to jump into the thread all angry and stuff... Gosh...

I'm outta this thread.. I'll leave it to the buzzards... At least the newbies can see who to avoid and which ones will gang up on one person (which of course is weak but expected of this lot)

 

Right.

Within the post-apocalyptic setting, other reasonable and skilled humans are a much needed resource and you will have to build alliances and communities to make it. They have to take people in at some point, but due to the setting it also needs to be cautious and gradual, with proper vetting from those within the group that can read people very well.

It's much like when they were on the boat with Strand.... taking in those people floating out there most likely would have led them to their demise, so the logic that "Strand took them".... "others took them" and therefore they shouldn't have had valid concerns about taking in a group size of 43 people doesn't apply in the slightest.

Strand took them because he needed Nick and they were a small group of obvious no threat to him.

The other instances skill qualify as people taking them in as a small contained group, with Celia's crazy ass taking them due to Strand vouching for them.

43 totally unknowns showing up at a doorstep that you just secured after much struggle is not related at all to any of their experiences being helped by others.

Madison caused the mess. The solutions are:

- Take them in and try to vet them as well as possible and hope for the best(they took this option, but it will no doubt have negative repercussions).

- Let them stay outside and attract walkers(bad idea and cruel, will attract the undead and possibly make noise to attract hostiles)

- Threaten to kill them if they don't leave and show force with weapons(could work, but could lead to reprisals later in many shapes and forms)

- Kill all of them(cruel and will set a negative tone for the people residing in the compound).

Only 1 and 3 are rational choices for their situation at this point in time, but both will inevitably cause problems.

No solution will not include some set of problems, so the solution of course was NOT to draw attention to yourself in the first place.

 

Well, if you have any pull, yak with the woman, who claimed it was just a bruise from a bat. i wanna know if we have Negan's brother out on the west coast.
BTW - Better brush up on your spanish.

 

More like he left in hopes that when he came back no one would remember what a shit bag he was. Guess again!

 

I agree. It's the safest and best course of action. I'd have a constant watch on them in shifts and any sort of trouble maker is gone, which would start with the woman that stabbed Strand from the previous episode. Upon proving they are team players and will be an asset and not a liability, they then can join the group in a fuller fashion.

Though because just letting someone out free with information about us and like you stated - this isn't a walled town, there are ways back in - we'd then have to decide whether to just release them or execute them.

For real trouble makers I favor execution.

 

Yeah, I've been saying "Ok, you..you..what's your face..you..what's your face...you and you.......here's your plane ticket all charged to "my" account."

Thanks for leaving your house unlocked that day. You should really lock up your credit cards better.
