Concerning Carver's group...
I had been thinking about how the cabin group escaped Carver's Community. Assuming it was a rather large community, why did all these people escape together. Luke knew Nick before the ZA, he may have known Pete also. Alvin and Rebecca obviously knew each other, same with Carlos and Sarah. We really don't know if all these people knew each other before the ZA, but even if they did, why did they form a group after they left Carver's? Alvin killed George and the whole Carver/Rebecca thing gives us obvious reasons why they would want to escape, but what I'm wondering is why the others escaped and formed a group with Alvin and Rebecca when they were in some big trouble with Carver?

Maybe it was like Crawford. They started seeing that Carver was a bad guy and wanted to go away from him, something like that.
That makes sense. Something that bothers me in game is why they would group up with Alvin and Rebecca when they both had issues with Carver. Its like they wanted Carver to come after them.
For what we see from episode 2 and the episode 3 preview, Carver's camp seems to be run in a very authoritarian way and Carver is a very selfish, although capable, leader. It might have seemed like a good idea to live in it at first, but over time, the group may have started looking for the way out. Carlos did mention they were lucky to escape and Carver says (in the ep3 preview) that people would regret not "accepting" their love, so it wasn't just a matter of asking for permission. I think it was a group of discontent and scared people who saw a chance to leave and took it.
They probably got along very well and decide to escaped together to work as a team
I understand the escaping part now. What still bothers me is that they kept Alvin and Rebecca with them. If they wouldn't have brought them, Carver wouldn't be going after them.
Wel, I think that they didn't know that carver was so crazy at the point to follow them.
Yeah terrible plan in hindsight, huh?
Well, that's probably just them being good people. Also, though Rebecca and Alvin don't seem to be anyone's BFF, the group does care for them, in my opinion. They probably knew them from before escaping and trusted them enough to do such a dangerous thing together.
I agree with this. I think Carver's community started out as a safe place with good people in it. Either things started to go south, Carver started to lose it, or he started to show his true colors, and the cabin group wanted out. Maybe they had individual reasons (Rebecca's pregancy, for example), but Luke rallied them behind their joint belief that Carver was dangerous and they had to get out.
