#36300043782 09/07/2006 18:12:23 Zombies :D

I was just wondering if Zombies would be to out of character for the Matrix? Personally, I don't see a problem with some EPN thugs mucking with the Bluepill Life-Death program (or whatever governs Life-Death) and turning a bunch of bluepills into ZOMBIES! Then, we'd have to run about with Shotguns etc and survive! (until Agent Pace/Gray shows up and kicks major zombie booty) 

Maybe as a Halloween thing?

   The only people who claim that there are things that are "out of character for the Matrix" are people who don't grasp the massive potential that the franchise has, and would prefer that everything mimics the trilogy until we spiral into banality.

   That said, according to Rarebit, there was originally going to be some kind of power plant or industrial area with zombies in it.

EPN is already a bunch of Zombies anyways... Makes sense that they would be "adding" to their collection.
I kinda agree, it would be a great Halloween "treat". Can they have names that sound like EPNs?

The Sleepers could easily be called Zombies. But I think we killed them all?

Perhaps MxO isn't the game for you....

Eh i don't think so. It would just be stupid... I mean, zombies? In Megacity?

I'm willing to accept anything new in this game... zombies... yeah I'll kill them too.

There are those Ghost things in Stamos (or where ever that hideout is) I, don't think Zombies would be a stretch.

You seem to forget Blooddrinkers in Manssen Park, and that being the most trivial example of "monsters in Megacity".

I would have no problem seeing Zombies in the Matrix personally, although I guess I would prefer it to be more of a halloween event than a permanent feature. But they do (in a way) fit in with Vampires and Lupines.

I guess I'd prefer them to be corrupt programs rather than exile programs though. That would be a nice way to explain the physical mutations, as well as a reason for most (if not all) orgs to want to destroy them!

Zombies are creepy & I do not want to see them in teh Megacity unless someone shows me a way to make the night look almost as bright as the days. Hates zombies!

The Umbrella Corporation is here! Watch out for them Zombies...

I doubt you can really fit Zombies with the mythological creatures of the Matrix such as Ghost, Werevolves, Nightmares and Vampires.

Lets review. The Ghost, Werewolves, Nightmares and Vampires existing in The Matrix are renegade programs fleeing from The Source. They changed their RSI into these creatures by choice. I doubt an Exile would change into something inefficient such as a Zombie, unless of course they only looked like a Zombie but had no other attributes of a Zombie whatsoever such as, no speech, no significant thought, bad posture and movement, etc.

   Though most  mythological-based Exiles (if not all of them) don't entirely fit the profile of the creatures they resemble.  I think even Invalesco said this at one point  We've seen Malphas out in the daylight with only a mild irritation to the sunlight.

   And during Nightfall, when LET-controlled Blooddrinkers attacked Midian Park, one person suggested that we keep them busy until the sun came out.  One of the Blooddrinkers answered this by saying something like "The false orb doesn't harm us".

   And of course, the Lupines resemblance to werewolves is only superficial.

   But let's keep in mind that the zombies do not necessarily need to be Exiles themselves.  You could have a glitch that is causing dead bluepill RSIs to rise, or the Unlimit could use their powers to raise the dead.  There's a number of things you can do to explain this.

Not those guys. If you go with Ghost to the part where your in a movie thearter they will be two zombies that bust through the door and they sure don't look like vampires or lupines to me.

   The profiles section under Hacking says they're vampires.

I think Zombies would actually be pretty cool!  We could have a new section of town where it's dead, like a ghost town, and that where the Zombies are!  Man that would rule!  I mean we already have Ghost, Vampires, Lunpines, and nightmares, might as well have Zombies.

As long as we don't start having devils or witches, I don't think they would fit in.

Witch: I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!

 Agent Pace: I don't have a dog, idiota (yes, I checked, that is Italian, weather or not it is used correctly, I don't know)
