Personally, objectives and victories for either side are enormously reletive...not exactly what I base my game satisfaction on...for example:
Who won the first siege at caiger mall? or the second? or perhaps most importantly, the seiges of the blackmore?
the latter sieges are among the greatest moments in survivor history, but they ended in crushing defeats like most mall sieges...while the epic smashing of numerous malls in the mall tour are certainly the stuff of legends, it's not exactly like anyone did any permanent damage...some malls sprung back up within a week. If you're going to define a failure as "The target you attempted to hold fell" then the only way survivors can win is by literally boring their opponents to death and numerous zombie "victories' are only the result of survivors becoming complacent/bored as well....methinks the game does not function that way;
No, blackmore was fun because we stood up against inestimable odds and triumphed, the mall tours were a blast because the zombies dislodged human strongholds that were deemed invincible...the most fun you can have in this game is standing up for that one glorious moment before everything comes apart...that is why this is a zombie APOCALYPSE game...
personally, I play to RP...not that I've been exceptional at that recently, but I intend to get back in the swing of things soon.
