What's the cause of your demise?
I had a conversation with a great user, Lee4ever. At the beginning of which I half-jokingly said he would die in the apocalypse due to his/her reasoning of "No matter how bad to me all life matters." To which I said I would also die, but not because of my reverence for life. So I got to thinking... which of my personal faults would get me killed? I'd like to think it would be my moral code that would get me killed. Say, for instance, a child were in danger - then I would probably put their life before my own.
What personality trait would be your undoing?
EDIT: For clarification I'm not referring to a specific event or situation that you would die in, but the cause of why you're in that situation/event. The mindset that got you screwed in the first place.

My cluelessness would be my undoing. I can't repair anything, I can't build anything, I can't even cook, let alone start a fire. If the zombies wouldn't get me, I would die of my own uselessness.
Damn Viva some people really hate you.
Haha yes they do.
Why so many dislikes?
Anyways, i dunno. My morale ain't shit, but i am pretty sure what would get me killed HAS to be my clumsiness. Like, if i just let the gun fall and stare at dem advancing zambies.
it's his anti-kenny stance. I guarantee it.
Your comment made me chuckle. On the bright side if you find a country friend you'd be set.
I lack common sense, so yeah i will die pretty quickly.
Haha just watch your doom approach :O
I'd bet money on that!
Karma and irony would probably kill me off.
Come to think of it, that might do me in before my moral code...
XD
I know, right. I will start like a bauss and fail like a faggot.
probably my concentration would get me into trouble just zone out sometimes no not drugs related btw you sound like dexter morgan with the moral code and saving kids
The thing that would cause my doom would probably be my very high kindness, I would probably put anyones life ahead of my own, and I have a hard time saying no to doing favors, so people would probably be able to put me in the most dangerous situations, and despite being quite handy there is probably only a limited amount of luck before something gets me.
Various tendencies in a world where they can hardly be repressed. Oh, and probably the fact that I have little knowledge on survival matters.
So ignorance and not always playing nice.
Being over cautious would be my downfall. I tend to over analyze situations and not take risks.
Karma is a bitch they say.
So a lack of concentration then?
Never seen Dexter, looks good. Should I take that as a compliment of diss? Haha.
On the bright side whenever you did go people would definitely miss you
i suppose its always a compliment to be compaired with a serial killer
I would actually consider that a good trait in the zombie apocalypse, Seeing you most likely would try and avoid the zombies instead of confronting them and thus most likely making you live longer.
I have a tendency to hesitate and wait things out rather than act. It might cause me to miss out on something that could have saved me or slow my reaction to a dangerous situation. Also, I'm just don't have that many survival skills.
Haha yeah atleast I got that going for me. which is nice
I don't think I'd be able to just let people go, even if I'd have to do something obscenely stupid.
Buddy getting piled on by hordes of zombies? I wouldn't just keep running, I'd be right up in there trying to tear them off. I wouldn't be able to see people as expendable.
That Dale quote...paraphrased, "I may not be the type of person who lasts long in this world, but at least I didn't let it take me with it."
RIP Dale. You were a good man.
Funny that Shane, who was supposed to be a good fit for this world by Dale's accounts, didn't actually live much longer than Dale
At least in the show.
Old age as I will survive this shit
Definitely the lack of survival skills. I rely so much on technology to find information and then forget it right after. One thing I wouldn't have problem with is moral dilemma/guilt/sensitivity about doing weird things to survive. But I just wouldn't have the knowledge.
You sure you won't die from being too confident? :P
I'd probably starve after the microwave stopped working.
Weakness, probably. Heh.
Or even if I find a group, my good heart would screw me over.
My inaction. I'd probably opt to wait things out and end up starving to death in my house or wherever I am.
My general strength would be what gets me killed. I can run pretty damn far and do a helluva lot of pushups, but I'm genetically skinny so I'm not strong at all. If a walker would surprise attack me from around a corner, Im pretty much fucked.
In my case, my illness would be my demise: I have diabetes. So I guess I would live on borrowed time either way, at least until my insulin reserve runs out.
Granted, this doesn't mean the walkers wouldn't get me by then. Moral code aside, I don't even have the slightest clue about survival matters. This reminds me back in ep 1 when Clem and Christa were in the woods trying to light the fire, I remember I kept saying to myself:"Damn, I don't think I could even do that."
Damn
No more Kenny obviously
Team Rock and Fivel
Yeah... Well, the other thing is strictly my fault:). Relying too much on technology will do that to you.
On a side note, Viva, you may be onto something here! This thread may serve as a wake up call for people to start learning basic survival skills! Starting tomorrow, everyone should learn how to build a fire and tie fishing knots.
I'm not entirely sure to be honest. I can see myself surviving for a long time, but I need someone else to point out my flaws because I can't see them (Survival wise)
Pretty much, yeah.
