I would say, in game terms, that those people are either players whose characters were killed in game because they didn't adhere to the basic social construct of the other characters, or else were NPCs set up by the GM to add heft to the game.Never in so many words, but "the group decided they were going to head down the highway looking for more people to help" and "Everyone at the table is up in arms" certainly implies that everyone else was on the same page as the GM. And the way he phrased "group" also implies that he was the outsider in that group, and he actually says as much: "I was out voted."I'm not arguing he didn't. He even later said that he talked to his GM and was considering bowing out. That's a legitimate answer. He doesn't like the way the show runs and gets angry at the main characters. That says to me that he doesn't want to join in with the social contract, now that he understands what it is. And that's fine.I addressed this above, but this is beyond genre. Genre would be "zombie apocalypse." This is a narrower subset of the genre, which does imply allowable, or at least palatable, actions, and those that would put the character as an outsider to the group.Now, if I were the GM, I would allow this player back and his character as is, with the express understanding that he is playing the part of the heel of the group. Personally, I think that would be an interesting setup.</blockquote>
