    1. Rick Grimes: has always been the best leader (comics).
    2. Lee Everett: he's not driven by emotions like Kenny and Lilly making him, in my opinion, a better leader then either of them. He'd make a better counsellor for a leader like Rick.
    3. Kenny: episode one Kenny was an excellent leader. He's to prone to be ruled by his emotions to be a good, concrete leader.
    4. Lilly Caul: I honestly don't think she's that good of a leader. She just creates drama and yells at everyone. She'd make a much better military expert in the group, giving tactics about the group's defenses, teaching people to shoot guns, et cetera

    I like your opinions greatly.

    Rick imo. I agreed with most of his decisions in the comics. He is the perfect mix. He can be the nice guy but he doesn't stop at making tough unpopular choices for the benefit of the group.

    Lee, i don't know we didn't learn enough about him but to me he seemed like a bit weaker leader, not so good on taking responsibility and making the tough calls. He would make an awsome right hand though, a bit like what Tyrese used to be.

    Lilly would be a horrible leader. she goes nuts way too fast and since day 1 was always raging and screaming. We need a calm and reasonable leader, pretty much the opposite of Lilliys trades.

    Kenny- too selfish too be a group leader. It's him+family > dust > air > nothing > space > rest of the group. Also he is pretty heated most of the time.

    Conclusion: Rick and Lee as his right hand

    Lee. But I wouldn't argue if Lilly was the leader.
  • edited December 2012
    Rick made quite a bit of mistakes though, and they even took him out of the leader role and replaced it with a committee to make decisions for the group. He got a lot better in the later comics though. I think Lee is the best.

    Oh my gosh, the Kenny thing made me laugh.

    Though you might be able to fit Lee behind dust.

    Because what if Lee was the *every answer is (silence)*-Lee?

    It's definitely between Rick and Lee.

    Rick has shown that he values the safety of his entire group, at times going the extra mile to ensure that any danger is dealt with. He is a bold decision maker and I'd be able to rely on him both as a leader but a friend too.

    Lee is a near perfect balance of loyal and firm. In a heated situation he can defuse the tension calmly and quickly, whilst looking at everybody's best interests. He has a proven sense of decency, equalled by his willingness to take control of even the worst situation.

    Kenny is unpredictable, unreliable and stereotypical too. All credit to him for looking out four his family but if he sees somebody as a liability his quicker to cut them lose than fix the situation. Anything he perceives as danger to his safety or his families means that in a situation that requires co-operation, it's a losing battle.

    Lily is not head strong enough to be a leader, she fell to bits at the passing of her father, whilst understandably crushing, she has a duty as leader to provide her group with a positive attitude or at the very least an indication that she is still in charge, instead of making blind accusations and killing innocent members of the group.

    Based on that, I'd have to say Rick is for me at least the most reliable and trustworthy leader.

    Lee: Even tempered and smart. But if push comes to shove, has no problem curb-stomping someone.

    I see, I see.

    All your opinions are very nice.
  • edited December 2012
    Depends on:
    Who's Lee
    Stable or Unstable Kenny?
    Stable or Unstable Lilly? (not choosing her either way)
    Stable or Unstable Rick?
  • edited December 2012
    Stable for all three, and whatever Lee you want.

    It's kind of pointless to make a poll on the official forums for the game. of course people will vote for Lee. Try less biased pollers. Personally I have seen both guys so I can objectively vote, but it wouldn't suprise me that a huge chunk of people just vote Lee without even ever reading the comics thus never experiencing that -while Lee is totally awsome- Rick is a better leader by a pretty big margin.

    Roamers and Lurkers is a Walking Dead forum about the comic and TV show. (I am pretty sure they're will be players from the game on it too)I usually use it,it is good.

    I'd go with Rick as the leader, and Lee in a similar role as Dale. Basically the conscience of the group and a voice of reason, keeping Rick and the group on the right path.
  • edited December 2012
    One thing for sure, I would shag both Rick and Lee :cool:

    I'll go with Rick. Lee basically became the leader after Duck died. And in two days everyone was dead or separated.
  • edited December 2012
    Now that you ask it, it's pretty hard to answer. Kenny in Episode 1 really seemed to know what he was doing.
  • edited December 2012
    Ben in my opinion is the best leader. Nuff said

    Lee couldn't protect everone all the time

    -he couldn't help chuck because he needed to get Omid and the others to safety
    -he couldn't help brie because ben decided to tell Kenny what he did
    -you could have chosen if ben would have been saved or not
    -if ben had survived there was no way Lee could have checked the screws on the belcony before they used it
    -Kenny was struggling with survivors guilt and felt he needed to help Christa/Ben (although i think Lee could have tried to help Kenny a bit more)
    -there was no way Lee could have found a way across the rooftops so the sign was their only option

    although i would prefer Rick because he cares about the community he's been trying to protect and keeps a clear head in dangerous situations

    Lee let Clem run off which led to a lot of those things and his death.

    It wasn't Lee's fault that Clem ran off, it was Clem's choice to go by herself. She still had hope that her parents are still alive, so she wanted to find them since Lee said that there were no time left to find them. Plus he was able to save Clem for that psycopath :D

    Lee had what? 2 or 3 days to tell her the guy was bad news and not to trust him. Instead he just took the walkie then put it down right near Clem when he went to sleep.

    Lilly and Kenny would be great leaders of they could work together, imo.

    A tie between Rick and Lee for me. Depends on the type of Lee. If he's the every man for himself/cruel/punishing tyrant Lee then I'd go with Rick, but if he's the generous/kind/benevolent Lee I'd go with...Lee.

    I've read every issue of the comics so far and i really hated Rick toward the middle issues but now I'm starting to like him a little more.

    Democracy. I mean, I'd prefer to not have anyone with complete control over the group. No matter how good or smart they seem.

    When making a group project at school, somebody always tells everyone what to do, and keeps things organizated and scheduled, and nobody really seems to care. It's kind of the same here, imo. People indirectly need a leader, which is usually set by default.

    Gotta take into consideration that Rick had it easier than Lee post-motor Inn. Rick at the farm and Rick at the prison was a lot more calm then Lee in Savannah. We honestly have not seen Rick deal with a city like Lee has other than a quite trip into Atlanta than Glenn pulled him out quick. Also Rick has gotten a lot more people killed than Lee, only group member death I would consider Lee's fault was himself, all other group member deaths happened without his involvement aside from EP1 or EP4 Ben.
