Coordination also means assigning teams to be active at all times and recognizing a pattern in zed attacks. You seem to think that in a siege situation only attackers can have coordination and tactics.
Which isn't practical as someone already stated. Also, when you're reacting, all it takes is just one change up to make any pattern you've noticed not mean anything. Theres also alot of impractical things that occur. If we do an over watch, then how often do we refresh? It's more than possible to use all your hits refreshing and nothing happening.
Then what is it? What is what you just said if not a description of the inferior survivor attitudes to coordination?
Its not an inferior attitude, if 1) its worked before 2) impractical for reasons i said before.
But see, if more experienced people took part in the defense and at least tried to organize it, it wouldn't be half-assed. As it stands, it's probably true that the only people there will be "trenchies thinking they're Spartans". (Which is still not as bad as it could be. I don't share the seeming near-universal hatred for trenchcoaters.)
I guess ill have to spell this one out.
THIS IS THE SITUATION AT HAND
Most of us are dead.
When we go to get our revives.
we're at 30HP and infected.
and going straight to the mall just makes us easy targets.
Also
alot of us are low on supplies because of nichols & blackmore defense.
So we go into a mall,
under attack,
wounded,
with no supplies.
Which means the zombies have the edge on the perpetuation of damage.
ALSO
there is an event going on.
Alot of people are running off to go do some flare thing because these events are rarer and funner.
ALSO
We cant just tell everyone to drop what theyre doing to go do something else
other groups
have other obligations
to other people
if they just left because we called then they would be put in my situation trying to explain to random youth why they left.
SO
At this moment, we have taken the mature attitude of excepting our situation as not being a good one and that we can not go into a siege.
What later on? Any stand you make is going to be the exact same situation. If you don't want to do it now, why would you do it later?
I explained our situation.
AFTER THE FLARE OOKIE-COOKIE
We can make a better stand if we are all geared up and have had time to plan out our attack.
I can't argue with that. That's why your absolute denial of even considering defending a mall surprises me.
