Suggestion description
I had a look through the zombie speech choices today and was a bit saddened by what I saw.

• Graagh
• Graaaaagh!
• Grrrh
• Grh
• Mrh?
• Brnhr

That's all you get until you get death rattle. Where o'where is the good old fashioned "BRAINS!!"?

I propose that "BRAINS!" (or "BRA!NZ" if you're a death rattle purist) be added to the list of options.

I know that this is incredibly complicated and very very overpowering but please, I urge you to give the babah zambahz a fighting chance. Let them call out for their dinner. Set them free from the bonds of scary growls. Let them have that which they crave!!

8. Keep - Though it should include an option for vegan zombies.--Labine50 ^{MEMS | MHG} 01:53, 11 July 2008 (BST)
9. Keep - Yes, but as Axe Hack. Should coincide with their poor zombglish. DanceDanceRevolution 04:23, 11 July 2008 (BST)
10. Keep - The zombies need to be able to beg for a meal sometimes, this helps. --Pvt human 10:45, 11 July 2008 (BST)
11. Keep - Fantastic! And to the first 'killer' below, I think it would be rather freaky hearing bra!nz frequently. Cliched but cool - Zig13 - 11/07/2008 at 14:30(BST)
12. Keep - I like, interesting and nice flavour.--drawde ^{DORIS•RR•RRF•RI!} 18:44, 11 July 2008 (BST)
13. KeepHoly Shit! You damn zombie players how fucking dare you actually want to have fun with your lame ass zombies?! You should wander around outside not in RPs and not doing anything until the holier than thou survivor fucks pop you for XP. First you want more letters, then you want comparable fun skills, next you'll want more things to do to earn XP other than hit things! You malodorous pukes make me sick! -- #99 ^{DCC SNACK STRONG} 06:02, 12 July 2008 (BST)
14. Keep - Rar. Brainz! --BoboTalkClown 16:51, 12 July 2008 (BST)
15. Keep - I am all for this.--Jamie Cantwel3 ^TalkAll glory to the Hypnotoad! 22:28, 13 July 2008 (BST)
16. Keep - Some variation of brains, but ya. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 01:56, 14 July 2008 (BST)
17. Keep - I'm used to hearing them say "Brains" in most situations, so I see no reason it wouldn't be included in the game.--Kolechovski 18:49, 15 July 2008 (BST)
18. Keep - I love it. For months after this passes, every zombie in game will waste an AP saying, "BRAINS!". gabdewulf 15:57, 17 July 2008 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Kill/Change - I don't want every zombie growling "Bra!nz" or a variation thereof. Should require Memories of Life. --Midianian^{|T|T:S|C:RCS|} 21:04, 10 July 2008 (BST)

   Why would it take memories of life to remember that you like to eat brains? :S -- Cheese 21:12, 10 July 2008 (BST)

   It's not for remembering that you like to eat brains, it's for remembering how to say "Brains". --Midianian^{|T|T:S|C:RCS|} 21:41, 10 July 2008 (BST)

2. Send more kill voters - I don't want one specific word being singled out... And, frankly... while we all like to reference bra!nz, there is nothing in the game that says zombies eat brains. This is solely an invention of the Return' series, it just became a meme. A little pedantic, sure, but... I don't like this idea, sorry. --WanYao 23:26, 10 July 2008 (BST)
3. Kill - As WanYao, plus the "!" in "Bra!nz" is not really a phonetic sound.  Billy Club Thorton  T!  RR  05:40, 11 July 2008 (BST)
4. Kill - Zombies are not talkers. It's a bit late for them to be learning new words. --Pgunn 16:55, 11 July 2008 (BST)
5. Kill - All pre-rattle sounds have no meaning. Adding 'brainz' will be weird. --

6. Kill - Zombies need more fun things, but not this. Malton Zombies eat people, not Brains. Not to mention that, indeed, the other sounds are gutteral and have no meaning. I like the attempt at zombie humor, but dislike the suggestion.-- Techercizer ^(Food) _(TSoE) 07:32, 12 July 2008 (BST)
7. Kill - Don't force a meta dialect onto all players, don't change things in a forced manner the default words are largely fine.--Karek^maps?! 17:17, 12 July 2008 (BST)
8. Kill - Nah, there aren't any recognizable words in the pre-MoL set now and I'd like it to stay that way. --Howard Bentley 18:02, 12 July 2008 (BST)
9. kill i didnt want to dignify this with a response, but then i realised it might actually pass peer review! i have to ask why? and then would the addition of 'brainz' just encourage people to want to add more and more, in which case pretty soon there would be no need for zeds to buy their speaking skill (death rattle? i can't remember) kill --Irounds 01:52, 14 July 2008 (BST)
10. Kill No. Zombies start out only capable of muttering limited groans, and "Bra!nz" is not a groan, moan, or gargle in any way. "!" isn't even a phonetic symbol. At most, maybe zombies could mutter "Brhnz" or something like that. --William Told 2:13, 16 July 2008 (GMT-5)
11. Kill - please people! the babehz must crave rattle! besides graaagh! does the brains job just as well. Everytime someone makes these suggestions that give all zombies extra rattle abilities a part of me dies knowing that you all want rattle to be that little less exciting and fun... *shakes head in disappointment*--xoxo 12:44, 17 July 2008 (BST)
12. Kill - First, a zombie without "MoL" cannot speak. Plus, Zombies don't eat brains. How could a corpse without brain raise from death as a zombie ? Bug MacLock 09:37, 20 July 2008 (BST)
13. Kill - Not till they get Death Rattle. --Idly Hummingbird 16:07, 20 July 2008 (BST)
14. Kill - Zombies eat everything, not just brainz. And besides, what's wrong with "BRAHNZ"?--Private Mark 05:09, 21 July 2008 (BST)
15. Kill - need death rattle. and as private mark. Seds have grah! and BRAHNZ when they rattle. this is unneeded. --Jack ^{S13 T! PC} 16:34, 22 July 2008 (BST)
16. Kill - As Yao, there is nothing to say zombies eat brains. I agree that more choices should be available, but ones that make sense.-- Techercizer ^(Food) _(TSoE) 22:40, 23 July 2008 (BST)

    Kill - As above. --Ishmael Davenwood 00:57, 25 July 2008 (BST) Late vote struck. --Midianian^{|T|T:S|C:RCS|} 01:42, 25 July 2008 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Spam - Zombies eat brains more so that just their victims in general? Also the suggestion for them to say Barhah got shot down, this is less deserving. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 22:54, 10 July 2008 (BST)
