What makes a good zombie apocalypse survival team
If you were in the zombie apocalypse. What kind of group would it take to survive in the zombie apocalypse? There can't be any be any make believe characters like batman or chuck Norris.
In my opinion, I feel a zombie apocalypse team needs:
1 A leader: someone who can make tough choices and keep the group together
2 At least two muscle: you need someone who can fight and carry out orders (these guys need to be skilled fighters)
3 A doctor or vet: Someone needs to take care of the wounded
4 Errand person: Someone who is willing to risk their lives to get supplies and food
5 Farmer: to grow food and crops
Then you need a few other people to help provide some protection when bandits or zombies come.
That just my idea of a successful survival team. Feel free to add your thoughts!

You forgot the ladies.
Haha yeah, you need them. So it's worth it to keep fighting to stay alive.
In my opinion, it should go like this:
The Director - Because some people just won't stand being ordered around by one person, so we have someone who plans without seeing himself or being seen by others as the "authority" instead. He would make the plans, deal with the rations, do arsenal checks, etc.. but without being a complete asshole.
The Motivator - Can also be called the "Morale Booster". This guy/gal is always driven to motivate, and motivates when he's driven. He/she may act as the swing voter in certain situations, but most of the time he's the one who's just going for something whatever the cost.
The Compass - The welfare guy/gal. This person would typically be the one to resolve internal conflicts within the group, or play the good cop defending the poor hostage his group has captive.
The Survivalist - You wouldn't want to be in a survival group without this person. He could have either had at least a brief military or redneck background.. if you know what I mean. This beast would know what weapons are most efficient, having probably killed a number of things before and all... if he also happens to know how to farm, then you're damn lucky.
The Doctor - Another person you wouldn't want to be stuck without. Basically, the guy who keeps you alive with all those wounds and scratches. Always come to him/her first after being punched through the skin by something... always.
Well, those are probably the foundations of a regular yet efficient group. Tell me if I missed anyone...
Here is my group:
Rick(comic version)- leader
Carl(TV version)
Clementine
Carley(sharpshooter)
Lilly- Second in command leader
Alice(comics)- Doctor
Daryl- Do I need to say why?
Micchone- Same as Daryl
Molly- Same as the last two
Shel
Becca
And Andrea
You got some good points. I think every group would have its own system on how to run the group such as voting or a person making all the decisions. But I do think when dealing with bandits and threats people need a person that knows how to deal with that situation. Part of the reason why Rick group lasted longer is because they were able to deal with bandits and human threats.
Ok, we all need a "Ben" in our group too.
NO BETA MALES ALLOWED
Naw he can be in another group. lol
If we have a "Ben" then it makes everyone else feel like they're doing a good job XD
Haha! I actually liked Ben
I liked him too. Yeah, he did some pretty stupid shit, but then again pretty much all of the human race has at some stage or another,
Leader,
Hunter,
Doctor,
Strength,
Errand guy,
Marksman,
Sexy women,
Smart,
Voice of reason,
A really good team needs no leader, just a solid code; the hard decisions are already made. A doctor is nice to have but not strictly necessary; in a world like TWD, most wounds (particularly bite wounds) will kill you anyway.
Then again, a really good team would be made up of the kind of people who never seem to even show up in TWD, as their complete lack of drama isn't entertaining.
Some Navy Seals, a mechanic and a pilot.
Leader , Scout (Get's supplies)Doctor,Survivalist,About 2 'tough' people,A boy scout,AKA - Somebody good with compasses,ect.,A Ben to make everybody feel like there doing a good job
Didn't say any of those roles were gender exclusive.
As long as I have a partner willing to smash someone else's head to survive Im happy
Chuck Norris.
NONE of those matter if your people cant sit in for days, weeks, months at a time. I have friends who cant sit in the house for 2 days and yes they are strong,smart and all knowing. In the Zombie world the outside will kill you! Sitting in side making no noise will keep you safe.
