I'm a Jack of All Trades and apparently I'm going to be kill-murdered by other people.

Jack of all trades, most likely to die to a talking zombie, but strong chance of religious zelots and criminals too. With an overall 40% survival plan. Bah. I would like to be able to pick 3 choices on my best skills.

I am a Planner. Talking Zombies are the most dangerous to me, I have better-than-even chances against most of the rest.
I didn't come here to win. I came to make friends.

Yeah, I always assumed if I was murdered than it would be a person who did it. Now I have mathematical proof it's 3 times more likely I'll be killed by humans than talking zombies.

Mercenary. Most likely to be offed by a Revenant.

Mercenary, most likely to be eaten by criminals or talking zombies or religious fanatics. I cry foul because even now I know better than to trust/get too close to fanatics. I am somehow strangely prepared for the insane.

fanatics prey on aggressive people with few allies or friends - think of the movie The Mist, where the crazy lady whipped up a mob to go after the people that challenged her. If you have a huge group of people behind you, you can keep the fanatics away.

Conversely, the insane target non-aggressive people who trust others.

Planner

Violence isn't always the answer. Organization and planning for the long term are your strengths. You can get the supplies and shelter you need to survive the crisis. Let someone else kill the zombies. Most of the time that works. Most of the time.

Your plan's chance of success: 68%


I am surprised that I have a 93% chance of surviving a Revenant while only 38% of surviving a mall lurker.

To be fair a good portion of that list is less than 50% survival chance <.<  but that is why I let other people do the killing.

Is it sad that I've spent a longer amount of time than necessary categorizing the characters from We're Alive into these different archetypes?
42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
If you can't fix it with duck tape you haven't used enough.
I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

Is the reverent survival rate based on the likelihood of making one?

So to keep ahead of the religious I need my own angry mob? Sounds too noisy. Best to add groups of people to the avoid list.

Is it bad that the only skill I appear to posses on the quiz is... is... shit... um, I took a few years of cadets and was attentive to the rifle stuff? (That was a few years ago though... like 10 years?)

Why was there no art/creative skill Ross? Why?
