Clementine or everyone else?

edited December 2012 in The Walking Dead
Just a thought about episode 5,i am interested to see what people would do in the following scenario. You have to choose between saving Clementine or Christa,Omid,Kenny and Ben if you brought them all with you. Would you let 4 die just to save 1?

    They elected to come, Clem had no choice.

    Plus, Clem's "my - via Lee" responsibility.

    Clem comes first. :p

    Everyone else. Even though I love Clem I'm not about to let 4 people die for 1. Even though she's a kid. Sorry Queen Clementine D:

    Nope. I would feel selfish if I allowed four people to die because of only one person. Even if it's Clemmy. I'm pretty sure it won't come to that, but I would feel heartbroken either way.

    i would defiantly save clem. everyone in the group can be a d*ck except omid. christa always questioning how i raise clem. Kenny he was cool at the beginning now hes a d*ck just because i didn't kill larry or ben

    Selfish?

    Omid and Christa forced themselves into the group - I told them all I wanted to go solo..... I'm not responsible for them. :p

    Friends or acquaintances can get out. Parenting a little girl matters the most.

    So long as Clem's mom is missing and there's no one else I can pawn her off to, I'd choose everyone else without hesitation. Sorry Clem-Clem, but how long can an 8 year-old survive in a ZA without anyone else to take care of her? Lee's dead after all.

    Somehow you sounded like Jigsaw asking that in my head... lol :P

    Okay just to clarify by voting it is who we would let die or who we would choose to remain alive? Ask yourself this question if you could sacrifice either direction, How long before you begin to feel like Ben and going crazy from the guilt?
  • edited October 2012
    Yeah I would choose everyone else. That would be a hard choice, but I would never save 1 life over 4 lives, as much as Clementine means to Lee.
  • edited October 2012
    Everyone else. I couldn't care less about Ben, but even 3 is pragmatically preferable to 1, especially since in a ZA, age doesn't matter too much anyways. It's not like there's still any society left for the kids to grow into.
  • edited October 2012
    At this point Clem is like my daughter. What parent wouldn't chose their child?

    You'd fit right in, in Crawford.

    As much as I love Clem, I had to go with everyone else, the more people alive that can pull their own weight = the better.

    The more people alive the more people who can screw up. And Omid and Christa is about to have a child they're not going to put the group before the baby. Ben is useless. Kenny is too emotional and will throw you to the wolves in a heart beat.

    And Lee's about to die his only worry should be about Clem and not 2 people he just met, a guy who has almost gotten them killed numerous times and a guy who doesn't like him if you don't kill someone.
  • edited October 2012
    Christa, Omid, and Kenny all volunteered. They know the risks and how it could end for them. Clem is an 8-year-old girl who was kidnapped. I'd pick Clem every time, but a huge downside to that is that she'd be all on her own since Lee is bitten, and I would have been letting the other 4 die to save her.

    I really like Clem, but she can't use a gun as effectively as a whole group. So, survival wise, yes, everyone else would be better.

    The point is though we are not trying to ensure long term survival of our group. Anyone who came is on a suicide run to if not save clementine then at least avenge her death. Everyone knows this is death's door and we are repeatedly ringing the doorbell like maniacal girl scouts trying to make quota so we are not beaten by the head mistress:p

    Who's survival? Lee's? He has hours to live.

    Right this.
    In the Walking Dead, comic, game, or show we are all fucked (screwed if its tv/ Swear:p) so the best you can do is love/be loved. Truly thats why Carley liked Lee. She was just trying to be loved by someone as Lee is now by his clem/his group. Lee can't do much but he can show one little girl that even though he isn't her dad and she messes up he still came. He would always find her:)...tho on that note him being bitten is going to make clem feel really not fucking good this time. She thought duck was sad but shit that was a good day:(

    Three adults capable of taking care of themselves and Ben, who generally looks after himself first anyway, versus Lee's responsibility and driving motivation, 8-year-old Clementine... not really a question with such an obvious answer.

    I 100% agree. This is obviously clear.

    I would really like to see you guys (my self as well to be honest) in that real life situation. I bet most would choose the group over Clem... ah well, just a game - I know. ;)

    If I'm about to die, I'm saving the person I care about the most, not people I barely know and someone who doesn't like me.

    It might be different if I wasn't bit.

    I'm baffled at how people havent sussed out that christa is pregnant, its obvious in episode 3 even. I bet the people who are too unintelligent to figure it out are the same people who saved carley

    Clem, no question.

    I'd feel bad about Christa, Omid, and Ben, but Clem always comes first.
    Kenny I wouldn't be too sore over.
  • edited October 2012
    I'd save the group over clem. Without the group, clem won't be able to last. The kids good, but not that good if she's all alone. In the end she's still an 8 year old girl vs 3/4 adults + one of them being pregnant.

    And I saved carley cause she had the gun....
    If doug had the gun I would have saved him instead lol at the time you didn't know how useful either could be for the group, but you had to choose one. So the one you know is able to fight for the group seemed like a better choice, regardless of how battery challenged they might be.

    Easy to say now Lee was bitten, this discussion has been going on a little longer, though, and around 80% of the posters would have saved Clementine, Carley, Lilly, Kenny, who ever over themselves... rediculous. ;)

    ^ This although Ben goes in the Kenny group for me.

    Crista would most likerly survive and drag Omid's behind along with her, Kenny and Ben are already dead inside so saving them could be seen as cruel?

    Clem is the one thing keeping his spirit up and he would do everything he could to find someone to care for her when he's gone.

    I wouldn't.
    It's just that Clem is a single young girl without the survivability to survive for..how long should that even be?
    Maybe Clem might be able to survive for a couple of days, perhaps even weeks or a month. In the end, she will die alone regardless.
    If Clem had someone to take care of her, I'd rethink my decision, but with the whole group dead and Lee on the edge of death, where's the point in rescuing her?
    There won't be some kind of a..new civilization any time soon, just walkers all over the place, so the only thing to do is to make sure that as many people as possible survive for as long as possible as it's the only hope to rebuild a society in a distant future.
    Except your only goal is to help Clem feel alright until she dies shortly after.

    What's your problem with people saving Carley, man? You're spamming this in every thread you post into...
    Even without any gender considerations there'd be a 50% chance for people to choose Carley over Doug.

    I saved Carley and thought about Christa being pregnant since episode 3.

    I saved Carley because that way I though she would also have a chance of saving Doug considering she is a dead eye.

    I would have to save Clementine

    The others knew what they were doing when they came with me

    Clementine is more resourceful a better shot and basically better at everything than the rest
    And she is just a little girl

    i think most people know christa's pregnant so many hints man But of course you would choose your "daughter" over people you just met and a redneck that called you "urban"

    If your daughter is in danger'd let her die? is just a example :)
