The wolves are the people that gather into groups , try to secure their own territory , set up some type of social structure and attack anyone that enters their domain unless they have something that they want . They prefer to just go out and attack their enemies directly using brute force and numbers to try and win the battles , also they may on occasion use some basic stategy and while this would have some success they would still take casualties if they where facing a large group of raiders or zombies . These are the people that say that they would try to rebuild society but if you don’t have a skill they need or they think that you won’t be useful they will just kill you . They are the ones that say that if they feel that you are a threat to their family they would kill you . I would personally steer clear of any group of heavily armed , overconfident and excessively protective gun toting people . Because as soon as some one begins to see others of the group as a threat or they begin to think that they could do a better job of running things it will get very bloody very quickly .

The wild dogs are the people that would be traveling the wasteland alone or in groups , killing zombies and humans and just doing whatever amuses them . These people will be little better than vermin and the greatest danger to all survivors . They should be disposed of without delay or hesitation . They are the ones that will be forming the worst of the gangs after the outbreak and will likely be pillaging , murdering and raping human survivors for their own amusement . They will likely be using mob tactics where everyone just charges in and attacks any target they can find and they provide little if any cover for their comrades . They will take what they want and likely destroy what they don’t need . They are vermin and should be dealt with as such .

The coyote is small , swift , cunning and adaptive . These people will likely form small tightly knit groups of people that are far less likely to draw the attention of the zombies or the other survivors . They will be highly mobile when they need to be and will hunker down in an area when it suits their needs as well . They value intelligent combat over simple mob tactics or direct brute force . These will be the people that setup traps and explosives to thin out the enemies and force them to fight the battles on their terms , they will kill off alot of their enemies without having to fire a shot . They will be almost like guerilla warfare soldiers because they are smaller in numbers than their enemies they can’t afford to use the same tactics as the other larger groups . These people might move to a safer area at first after the outbreak but they will likely settle in an area that they can easily secure against all outside threats . For a while they will be small in numbers but once they have secured their new home against any human or zombie invaders they will likely go out and start recruiting other intelligent like-minded survivors . Once they build up their numbers they will be a force that only a fool would dare to attack .

Personally I will be like the coyote . I will settle in the middle of nowhere far from anything that would draw the attention of other survivors or zombies and once I have secured my area I will go out and begin recruiting other survivors and start picking off those that prey upon them . My territory would become a no-go zone for wild dog raiders or the thugish wolf survivors , any of them that invade my domain wouldn’t live to tell about it , I would see to that personally . To let them know that they aren’t welcome there I probably would set out a few of the corpses of their dead comrades to show the rest what happens if they come into my domain looking for a fight .

We might do things that seem cold though.

There would be times when the survival of our family or group would mandate killing or leaving behind weaker or dangerous people.

There would be times when other groups or individuals would make those decisions affecting us and we’d have to use force against them to survive.

Those that try to go lone wolf won;t likely survive long, and if they are attacking family groups or social groups to survive they’ll have to be killed.

Those that figure it’s the end so they’ll just have fun, act like they are playing doom or something, are really no better than the Zs themselves and will have to die.

My own morals state that survival is key. There is a hierarchy of survival, who should survive. My family is at the top of that hierarchy. My moral decisions are based on that hierarchy. In a life and death situation the higher you are on the list the more likely I’ll help you survive.

But really, morals are imortant. Seeing as the #2 threat during a z-attack is…well..hummans, we need morals.

To save a child traped in a building going to be over run’d by zombies, or to make it to the safe zone.

I think i’d chose save the child! D:

Morals are what keep us….human you could say!
