plus it could be a painful sickness and you could be a burden on the other survivors. There's just so many variables when it comes to zombies. It's hard to choose what's best.

A infection longer than 2 weeks could give people time to develop denial and convince themselves they'll be ok... until the symptoms start to appear... I did mean without amputation or excision. Like if you get bit and get sick, could your body's immune system have a shot at beating the contagion on its own or not? I always thought amputations should work most of the time as long as it's done fast enough. And it's always extra horrifying the times when they amputate but they weren't fast enough so they turn anyway. Lots of potential there.

Fast and slow infections both have different advantages and disadvantages for the zombies. Which is best really depends on how the humans respond to the zombie pandemic.

I never took that line to heart or that they were divine retribution unless the canon actually specifies that. To me a character mentioning that doesn't really make it so. I totally forgot the told us the origin in Night of the Living Dead. I forgot all about the space probe radiation...

I'm at a dilemma. If it's too fast, it's less horrific since being sick and getting to the end quicker is probably what we all would want instead of it being a long drawn out sickness (unless you needed more time for something critical) and too fast limits the ability of the disease to spread. Like 1-10 minutes would mean you could conceivably limit the disease to one continent bc ppl wouldn't be asymptomatic and getting taken aboard boats or planes. Unless someone purposely brought zombies over. Also harder for it to infiltrate a safe zone. But then once in a safe zone, faster is definitely the worse situation. Too slow, and it's like ok a zombie got in our city, it bit 3 ppl before we killed it. Now we have plenty of time to quarantine those 3 ppl and we'll be fine.

I felt like it should be multiple choice since more than one choice might be suitable or ppl could think of a wider range like 10 minutes - 8 hours or something

Yea too quick is like scary in the sense that your group is more vulnerable to being overrun, but slow and gradual is more horrific to me. Oooo that reminds me. Should ppl have a chance to fight off an infection or is a bite guaranteed death/zombie?

Personally I like longer periods of time like that too, and I agree going catatonic is pretty lame

There's a chart!

Does that bother you? It bothers me how arbitrary infections can be in the zombie genre. It's been a long time since i played any REs I can't really comment

It's wednesday now where's the other half?

Most people liken it to rabies which is actually not a blood disease. It's only in the saliva and genital secretions but not urine just the sexual secretions. Then when you get bit by a rabid critter, it doesn't spread through your blood, it travels thru your nervous system to your brain, taking 1-3 months. Of course the zombie virus doesn't have to be like rabies. It could be a blood disease. And it doesn't have to be realistic. I was actually thinking about what's scariest when I made the poll. I should've made that clear. Realistic answer are nice too tho

I knew I could count on you

Of course distance of the bite from the brain determines the variable rate of time to zomber.

Oh I know hes got a job and a girly wife friend

I dont think I will. I like atomic wings and korean ramen

My parents are the epitome of that stereotype. Perfectly acceptable to them to cook meat w/zero seasonings... Theyve watched me cook, ate my cooking, they want me to cook all the time bc they like it, yet when it comes time for them to cook, nope, bland. They even ask me what spices to use. I'll tell them and then it's like 1/20th the right amount. Like really. Wtf. Are they lying to me that they like my cooking? Or are they somehow unable to quantify how much herbs and spices i'm putting on despite watching me do it? And it's like they think you only use one spice when you cook. Like they asked me what to put on salmon. I said salt, pepper, garlic, italian herbs, and dill. I said "definitely dill for sure" and then they served up salmon w/barely the slightest sprinkling of dill and no salt, pepper, garlic, or italian herbs. They watch cooking shows. They loved Emeril back in the day. They have a shelf full of cook books. Why are they like this?

All spicy level flaccid

that still doesnt make any fucking sense

Why would u like that scoob? It hurts!
