Durai learned first hand the difficulties of attacking a fortified position with militia. I think he learned a lot from that and is not interested in answering the bell for round two. The tower is shot and he probably took 25 - 50% casualties.
It is one thing to lead green troops into a high casualty battle. It is totally different to lead them back into the meat grinder.
So, do you think Durai still has it in for the tower or is Scratch going rogue?
Rememeber, he wasn't there originally to attack. Having said that, not only was the position fortified, but it's elevated. That add a whole different element to it.
Had they not used the Zombies, the tower would have fallen though. All they had to do was pull back and let the fire do the rest of the work.
I think his pride if anything is what was wounded. Plan B allowed him to not only save face, but gain it back and then some.
I respect your opinion, crowbar, but I think they were there to take over the tower by intimidation or force. They were loaded for bear and came with ladders. The fire was set by scratch after latch died. I am pretty sure I heard background conversation about he said not to do that and Scratch said she did not care.
Durai needs a low risk high value win. Casualties are going to be high on the arena assault in blood and treasure. 10 takers of diesel and fertilizer is a heavy investment. It is interesting to note that Durai and the others are on their way south just a couple of days after Marcus "Died"
That is one way to look at it. But, the really nice well spoken men in the silk suits that ask you for 20% so they can protect you from mob are just private security rent-a-cops, right? I have encountered his like before. Durai is the kind of snake that kills both is parents in cold blood. Then plead guilty to the murders and throw himself on the mercy of the court because he is just a poor lil orphan.
Oh, I just spoke to Durai and he has some ocean front property in Arizona he wants to sell us.
I come from being waaaaay into LOST....you pay attention to things like names,...Quote:
