Eastern Bay vs Twin Towers

**Witch_Doctor** · May 21st, 2016, 05:30 PM

I'm gonna stick my neck out here and say that the depiction of the Mallers make them seem more like the criminals on the Adam West version of Batman and Robin or like the various gang members from the 70s movie The Warriors, than the hardened thugs of today. I always imagined Scratch, Tardust and Bricks looking like they were on their way to a rumble at the local sock hop. Listening to the other Mallers speak didn't help their image either. Charlie was a complete wuss and Weasel (Weasel? Seriously, was this guy locked up since the 1950s?) sounded like a carbon copy of Tardust.

Now the Twin Towers inmates sound more hard core in a contemporary way. Their speech pattern, vocabulary, attitude... and that's just the non violent offenders that's feature in Lockdown.

So, in a rumble, beat down, gang war or what ever fights are called nowadays, WHO WILL WIN?

I'll take the Twins. Or at least the group trapped in T-Block.

Mallers. They don't have the hesitation that would still be in the inmates from the Twins. They're more "villainous"

But don't let me stop the convo. What about individual match-ups? Jeremy vs Scratch?

We already know that Scratch would take any opponent down immediately to maintain power.

It'd be an awesome match-up to see if Jeremy's flirty, ironic humor and "pretty boy" greaser looks would disarm Scratch enough that when push came to slice she'd hesitate and give him first strike capability. Jeremy has a really strong self-preservation instinct and is better at reading people than Scratch, so I'd think he'd size her up in a couple of heart beats and either bed her or kill her. Scratch wouldn't see what hit her, or she would for a split second.

Mallers v T-block is a tougher choice. But the Mallers have it, if only because Jodi is a scrapper, not a fighter. Dani is a defender, not an aggressor. It would take a bizarre set of circumstances for our band of brothers/sisters to take down the same sized group of Mallers. The Mallers have more experience in the field of taking out infected, while T-block does best with planned Ops.

I still pull for the T-Blocks. If they had gotten out around the same time as the Mallers I could see them making a better "camp" and being smarter about how and who they would engage in the zombie world.

I think with Dani, Jodie, and Jeremy's ability to think and plan, Fredos Muscle, and bogart and Simon being decent fighters, they'd have a better shot than people might think depending on which mallers were talking about. Now I'm only including who's-currently-still around, that's not figuring in chuck and mark bringing what their stuff to the table

When you say "villainous", that makes me see cartoon villains even more. But I see your point. I will hand it too them that they are extremely disciplined for people who just broke out of a prison. They follow directions like soldiers.

Now Jeremy vs Scratch? That's a tough one.

Scratch's strength seems heavily dependent on her authority over her minions. Either by threat or persuasion. (She shows her persuasiveness in the Colony when Durai calls her out, and Tardust describes it when he is captured by Burt and Riley)

Jeremy is intelligent with a finely tuned BS detector. But he doesn't seem like a leader, rather he points out flaws or strengths in other plans. He makes a case and, if need be, he carries it out himself. Also, I doubt he would have a problem decking a woman if he felt it necessary.

They are both LOUD! Most likely zombies would be attracted to their screaming and eat them before either could win a fight.
