| ===Arguments for Combat Revives===
| |
|
| |
| Although [[career zombies]] are against combat revives, it should be noted that not all [[players]] playing as zombies at a given time are career zombies. Such players tend to play as whatever side they are on when they log in ([[survivor]] if they're alive, [[zombie]] if they are dead), some even going so far as to switch [[group affiliation]] depending on the current state of their character's nervous system.
| |
|
| |
| As these players are unlikely to swtich sides unless a game event outside their control forces them (that is: they won't jump from a building if alive, nor will they go and stand in a revive point queue if dead), combat revives are necessary for them to make the switch from zombie to survivor. For such players, a elimination of combat revives (whether total or virtual) results in their characters being forced to the play as zombies unless they accidentally end a [[session]] on a sparsely populated revive point.

|
| |
| Arguments from this side with regards to zombies who complain about combat revives include: (Explain these better. Perhaps ask someone who puts them forth, so as to get better explanations?)

| # Buy brain rot:
| |
| # Change tactics upon breaking into a powered NecroTech:
| |
| # Change the syringe dynamic: some of these players agree that there is a currently an issue with the over-abundance of syringes found throughout [[Malton]]. However, the standard form of this argument isn't that players need to stop reviving random zombies, but rather that the game itself needs to be tweaked to lower the availability and/or effectiveness of syringes. (Much as NecroNet Access caused an over-abundance of syringes, a suitable game mechanic change could be made to change this, rather than forcing players to ignore valid play methods.)

| (And yes, I did make the [[Let the Living be Live Campaign]] page. It doesn't mean that I don't sympathise with zombies (both of my characters are currently zombies, and busy munching on harmanz), it's just that I feel the "But you shouldn't do it because we ''want'' to be dead!" argument is a weak one to make.)
