From what I understood he didn't know they would actually work. He was just superstitious and was afraid of his impending death sentence and wrote down everything he knew that meant protection to get tattooed. I think they even found a book at Ink's residence that contained all the symbols?Quote:

And another thing, what happens when all of the nuclear power plants go critical because no one is maintaining the water that cools the reactors? BOOM! Where would humanity need to go to survive? Underground perhaps? Too bad the zombies have already started to make homes down there. There are so many crazy things that have yet to happen in this world of We're Alive. I'm going nuts waiting to find out.
Holy cow. I didn't think about that before. The entire east coast, parts of Europe, Japan, who knows where else, destroyed by nuclear power plants and reduced to wastelands because of radiation. That could potentially make a good story, or not because... Ya know... Everyone'd be dead over there.Quote:

If this was a Roleplaying Game my players would be going nuts with the things I would throw at them. I would call it a target rich environment.
Seems like this is what the fans want @Kc You have no choice but to make it happen!! (Even though technically you have all the choice)Quote:

What I want to know, is why isn't Ink affected by his own symbol - it obviously affects ALL zombies; so why not him? Is it because the infection fixed his miss-wired brain?
He is a smart one, remember? The brains are not affected by the mark like the regular ones are.
