"Waves" or "Wave"

Ya know, KC is like the Road Runner and all of us are Will E. Coyote! Damn him!
I'm going with "WAVES" because Pete says something like "Damn, they got us good THIS time didn't they?!"
That lead me to the conclusion that even if they Colony never directly suffers attacks (that we know of), the area sure gets them often.
I'm going with crowbar here... Why would The Colony have such a streamlined communications system for the recon teams with safe-houses and traps, if it was only a one time deal? Plus it didn't seem like that was Victor's first rodeo...
Exactamundo my friend!
The Listening and Observation posts are there for a reason. Early warning.
oh.. and take the Y off "They"
should read "The Colony"
I'm gonna try to steer the conversation a touch: what if what Kc was talking about was a coordinated multi-front attack by the the zombies? Discuss.
And as for why people in L.A. can wander freely vs. the Colony: who knows? Maybe it's because it just seems worse at the Colony because we weren't there as long. We don't know what a typical day in the life of a recon team is. Or it could be another example of one of my theories that the zombies attack targets that are bigger threats to their survival. The Colony would be far more threatening to me than the Tower would be on the surface of things. The reality is, the Colony is far more dangerous to zombie survival.
Nik,
..er Capt Nik, permision to speak freely Sir!
why do you say the Tower is more dangerous? Is it because they're closer?
Coordinated multi-front attack? Hmmm... that would call for multiple targets then.
Would those multiple targets just be the observation posts or other pockets of unknown survivors?
Who is the coordinator then? Sir Tattoo so far is the only cat we've been exposed to who seems to have a singular nature.
I know you've kicked around the idea of Ink and the "Observer" being 2 different beings, but a coordinated attack would mean they aren't so special after all.
My last question goes back to Pete's statement:
why'd you think you said "this time?"
Saul for Senate!
No, I said the Colony was more dangerous. The Tower is a small pocket of survivors that haven't really caused to many waves. They've basically just been sorta hanging out and doing their own thing. The colony is large and coordinated and pose a larger threat.
There are multiple entrances to the Colony. That's what I mean by multi-front attack. They come from both directions. And if who you call "Observer" (and I call "Rooftop") is coordinating the attacks, then they are just as special as they were before. They are the General calling the shots still. I realize this is a stretch. I'm just posing thoughts.
As for this time: we've heard examples of other attacks. and I'm sure just like the tower there's the initial attack they suffered after Pegs dropped the flower pot. No one really got hurt, and nothing bad really happened. Next attack was worse because Paul got destroyed by The Tattooed One. The attack after that was worse yet (though arguably the Mallers did worse). So that's what I always took that to mean. This particular attack was pretty demoralizing in Pete's opinion.
Well that would be because it makes no sense. Typo=confusion. I meant the Colony. I've fixed it above to clarify that for anyone else that comes here.
