The walking dead TV show sucks. The only reason people like it is because there isnt any other zombie show on TV. It started off decent and had some potential, but it went down hill pretty quickly.

3 episodes of action, 3 seasons of doing nothing.

On Topic; when you die you don't become a zombie unless you were bit and died from the bite. Getting shot wont turn you into a zombie. It's an okay suggestion, but it would be rare for you to get bit and die from it in DayZ since the devs can only do so much with the standalone.

[callsignBravo (DayZ) 323]

The sarcasm in the post, "Sorry, I watch good shows" was implying that I do not watch the Walking Dead because I only watch good TV shows, or in other words, I think TWD is a giant piece of crap. It's literally 2 seasons of either walking or standing around a table having a meeting, then a season finale that's fear-monger gorey. What's the appeal in the snoody Asian bitch, a self-righteous pregnant slut, a cop, and their friends?

It should be called "people arguing, and some zombies might show up"

You missed my explanation as to why the disease is already present but resisted, and "Dying" allows it to finally take over.

[Talibambi 119]

It feels so good be finally out of the closet.

THE WALKING DEAD TV SHOW SUCKS!

[Inception. 9443]

This is not about The Walking Dead; stay on on topic.

If death causing the infection to take over would turn you into a zed, you'd be a dead zed.

A vital point you seem to have overlooked.

Just about the only "fact" we've been given about the infected in DayZ is; they're still alive. NOT undead.

Death of the RESISTANT ENZYME, not of the human.

Death of the RESISTANT ENZYME, not of the human.

Here is my suggestion:

If a player dies, his body has 30-60 minutes before he rises again as a zombie (NOT controlled by the player).

OK, so, taking your backpedalling into consideration. How are you killing the enzyme? Bullets? Biting? Fire?

EDIT: I meant that jokingly, but reading it over, it's a bit insulting. Sorry about that.

Yeah, I didn't edit my original post when I came up with the new idea :)

Anyway:

The enzyme would have something to do with blood, so it would live in the liver or some other blood-passing organ (I know that sounds stupid because all organs use blood, but just go with me here) and when not enough blood is going around (dying of blood loss), the elements in the blood (oxygen?) the enzyme needs would no longer be present to live off of.

ANd before I'm corrected, I know I'm using enzyme wrong. I mean bacteria or some other microscopic organism.

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

I'm not exactly up on my biology either, but I can see what you're getting at.

Maybe if the resistant antibodies are constantly working, carried in your blood, then extremely low blood-pressure (but not death) might give the infection enough of a foothold in your system to give you full-blown zombieitis.

I think Rocket's brother, the virologist, would be the guy to answer that particular question.

And these bacteria/encyme then just somehow revive the clearly dead body and command it? Why? Do they have an agenda?

Regardless, my science is solid. I have won. :)

And these bacteria/encyme then just somehow revive the whole body and command it? Why? Do they have an agenda?

Do the zombies in DayZ seem like they have an agenda? Yes: Kill all humans.

I see this whole Zombi theory is somwhat flawed. Maybe the virus should have self-awarenes in order accomplish his goals. ^^

ummm isnt this the same as "character becomes a zombie" thread? and people are liking it?.....have people actually changed their opinion based on how respected the suggester is?!

Yeh it's pretty much the same idea we've heard a thousand times over but people are more inclined to discuss it when the poster has at least put some thought into it. The last time someone suggested this it read "I think players should become zombies when killed, the end".

[roykingtree 125]

I support this idea, but FFS OP did you even care to search for this? I literally posted the exact same topic. Now instead of having one topic with 120 replies, we have two topics with 60 replies. HERE IS MY TOPIC

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

I'm pretty sure your flawed logic and ignorance of the subject matter deny you "winner" status, bud. ;)

EDIT: Solid science. :lol:

This is false. I put a lot of time formatting my topic in to a nice organised readable suggestion. This shit is getting annoying. We need a mod dedicated to the suggestions thread (as I have suggested to you before).

Viruses are non living; there's no way by Rocket's Brother's science we could have intelligent zombies... which is just dumb for its own reasons anyway.

Calm down man. You must not have read THE FIRST DAMN SENTENCE

Well then fucking add it to the already existing topic.

edit: Not to mention Rocket stated in the most recent PAX video (him in the hallway after presentation) that it would be hard to do this because the server would have a hard time keeping track of all the unique textures that a player has on a zombie.

You have suggested no such thing to me before, and sir I quite kindly suggest you go fuck yourself. Ooooooooooooh your formatted your shit. You're cool. ;)

I think you failed to see the part where I was replying to Fraggle, not you.

Pin a badge on me and point the way.

Calm yer beans.

EDIT:

Honestly, I don't think I could handle the mod's job.

I'd be too inclined to ban everyone just to get some peace and quiet.
