[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5753259, member: 8835"] Well, my assumption is that each person in the cooler, really didn't know anybody else until the ZA started. So the PCs aren't some biker club of brutes vs. the world. As such, in reality or in game, I would think most people who just got thrust together would be extremely threatened by a thug in the group. Tactically, I think it is in their best interest to not be around the thug. Eventually, the thug is going to bully or get them killed for his own benefit. Am I right in that assessment? This is by which I based my statements. The thug is so dangerous, that he will likely get me killed or kill me. He's most likely the strongest in the group, so attacking him will be very costly. He will probably justify holding the weapons, making the group unable to overthrow him. And the next time he needs a distraction, he will grab another group member and throw them to the zombies. This is actuall the point of enlightend self interest. Each member of the group behaves, because no matter how strong one is individually, the group will find a way to thwart you if you become a threat. Therefore it is not wise over the long term to be a threat to the group. RR's PC has become such a threat. As is, that means the party needs to get rid of him ASAP. That's going to be a fight, and no doubt RR's PC will cause a lot of damage before he goes down (assuming he does). This will then pretty much crater that party. [/QUOTE]
