[quote=“Pthalocy, post:8, topic:4682”]I think deciding whether zombies give a damn about dead meat versus living playermeats depends on why zombies are attacking you to begin with. The zombie lore for this establishes different needs than the traditional braaaaaaiiiins one.
I’d be for just trapping a wounded squirrel in a cage and getting out the landmines if ‘live things’ are the intended target of zombies, but I’m kind of a terrible person when my survival’s on the line.[/quote]
Ok but then, why are they attracted to scent? They cannot tell if you are human and have a acceptable size just by smelling you, this will make the scent attraction for the zeds pretty much senseless, I know it’s they last resort used only if they can’t both see and hear you, but as stated before they are not very clean and their strong smell would attract each other, so I think that the hypothesis, that, they are attracted to living meat (and should be attracted also to fresh meat chunks) is more plausible. Obviously, if the fellow zombie sees both you and a chunk of meat, it’s pretty obvious who will be targeted.
Maybe the goo cannot sustain itself, not with the resources contained in a single individual, I think that the skeleton is a pretty nice example of it, if the goo does not find enough proteins and in general food to keep the muscle moving, then it will start using the host resources, becoming a skeleton made of skin and bones, they could be represented by the first infected kept isolated, but yet the lore is pretty vague about this argument and digging into it would be pretty much a waste of time.
