Chapter 37-3: Balance of Power

[Hoff4D]

I just have to say it, I think I finally...ONE TIME, called a prediction dead on (or damn close to it)

In the 37-2 thread I implied pretty much exactly what happened regard CJ and Michael (link to post: http://www.zombiepodcast.com/forum/s...ll=1#post63512 ) :




Maybe the use of 'perfect synchronicity' was a little off, but I felt after the last year and half plus of predictions, I finally got one kind of right! lol


All that aside, a few of us thought CJ or Michael would try to split us up between dunbar and a few safe houses to keep numbers low, but it looks like CJ wants to stick to the Colony (so far). I can't imagine everyone let Saul/Victor go by themselves. Lizzy wouldn't let him go, but she needs the hostpital/care of a doctor. Tanya wouldn't let Saul leave again, but she has a sort of moral duty to the hospital/colony. I would think Michael wouldn't let them go it alone again, but CJ and he have an understanding right now. Burt and Riley are looking to go it alone, so they'd prolly go out with Saul/Victor for some Mad Max action

I guess at the 'end of the week' there is going to be quite the falling out. We may still get the 'spread out small numbers' we thought were gonna happen, but not by plan, by circumstance. I think Michael would follow Saul/Victor, but so would Tanya and Lizzie, but can they? Either we get some resolution and everyone stays at the Colony and plan together, or we have 2 factions again, with the only Tower people I see willing to stay at the colony without Michael as being......Pegs.


Forgot to mention Datu, he's Wreck-It Michael's Fix-It Datu, so they have to stick together (god I hope that reference doesnt fall on deaf ears)


Edit: Forgot to add all the military guys....they're gonna follow whatever Michael does through and through. Also, Kelly....I forsee some more "Burt" action from Kelly, I think she actually sticks by Michael finally.

Immediately revising my thoughts....I think Michael actually decides to let this one play out. On top of CJ playing both sides (colony vs michael), I think Michael will play both sides (CJ vs our mucho macho terrible two-some). He maintains talks with the Dunbar and establishes an 'escape plan' for people in his inner circle for if/when shit hits the fan in the Colony. Since Michael has the knowledge of "bigger numbers are more dangerous", he knows he needs an escape plan. He'll basically use Dunbar as a forward operating base, and plan out an offensive from it. He'll get storages of supplies from the Colony and do what he can to keep the peace, but maintain Dunbar as the next step. He wont leave the Colony strapper to live like the first time he left...but he will set up his crew in the long run. All this time sharing/broadening intel with CJ. Learning what else she knows about the cracks and stuff, and using it from Dunbar


Edit: Credit to REZombie, he pretty much said exactly what I just said 2 pages earlier...I should've finished all the comments before posting, whoops.
