Some free advice for zombie besiegers.
Zombies only need to move inside somewhere around 20-40 bodies and keep ?rise. In one or two days, all their friends will join up inside. This can be easily arranged by one or two strike teams that set an attack time via private communication. There is nothing survivors can do to prevent that short of organizing around the clock as Padre is suggesting. Once the initial zombie pack is in, the bets are off; survivors can't clear them quick enough, as the Giddings fall proves. Please remember that one sees all corners of the mall, thus the shooting reinforcements come from all the mall, not just from the 'weakest' corner. It just happened that the rate of zombies coming in was greater than the rate of zombies headshotted and shown the exit (7AP to ?rise+enter vs 30-40AP to reload+kill+dump).
Assuming the need to watch all the time also assumes that you need to have it split up evenly, that's just not true, it's pretty obvious with bigger hordes when the big attacks will be coming and the rest of it is just fighting off ferals, something one or five people logging on every hour can do with ease, once you find out, roughly, when the other people are active you get a big advantage.
