Normally I wouldn't waste my time but the administrators do actually respond to reports and do actually read these boards quite often. I guess we'll find out tomorrow. I think insulting 3 different people in 3 hours worth of time is hard to argue your way out of, though.

And here I got a warning for flaming one person while he was throwing prejudicial insults at me. With the exception of the prejudicial insults, he reminds me of you. Funny I haven't seen him since he was banned, though.

You're off-topic. They don't like that. Let's continue this in PMs, shall we?

Finally! I only asked twice before.

They all just seem to want to kill me. :| No hugs or smiles.

You raise an interesting point, that I think should be posted in a new thread because it relates to all Special Infected.

She was a raver girl who was on an X trip when the infection hit, and now she's infected and crashing and angry that she has no one to dance with.

Flashlights remind her of her glowsticks and she just wants them back.

She is full of angst and if you look closely at her forearms you can see that she practices self mutilation by carving profanity and flowers in her skin. I saw a rose with the word "dogballz" next to it.

I'm suggesting it made her grow, since Smokers and Tanks grew too.

yeah...shes on her period...and guys, no need to threaten each other with admins....these guys are fairly leniant anyway..itll need more than personal views to be banned...though the opinion of an actual admin would help.

so witch is psycho bitch...she hurt people coz she's pissed... well just have to wait for the plot to arrive

I need to take a closer look at her when I get a chance.

Edit:

Ok, a few things as to why I don't think she is a little girl unless the virus made her grow:

1) Without being crude, she is wearing a bra. I'm no expert on bras but don't women usually start wearing them in their teens?

2) Not that it matters because zombies are usually disfigured anyways, but her face seems a lot older (a little wrinkled) than it would for a little girl; she has more defined features (particularly the jaw bone) as well

I agree with Kagato here. If she were a child, it would be recognizable.

I'm gonna add on to what Kagato said:
3) It would get VALVe a lot of bad rep if they decided to portray a child that you have to kill in a video game - living dead or not.

They are constantly called Infected, rarely zombies. The "zombies" have a case of a strain of rabies, so it's entirely possible it's curable. If that were true, then it would be even more taboo/insane to have the witch be a person under the age of 18. I think (most) everyone agrees that killing a young child is very wrong and not widely accepted.

It's not entirely "out of sight out of mind" though, movies such as 28 days later showed the main character kill a child in a small town burger joint.

I think it all just relies on personal preference and imagination.

hmmmmm i have a funny thought....ppl always say tank reminds em of the hulk... but it actually looks more like the thing from the fantastic 4. The tank should roar, "it's CLOBBERING TIME!" when he charges at survivors!
The hunter is the human torch... cos... johnny wears hoodies and does more damage when he says "flame on!".
The smoker is all tall and thin, and has a STRETCHY tongue! MR fantastic!
So the witch... must be jessica alba.

Boomer is Dr Doom?

Here's a picture that also offers an explanation of all the special infected, mostly the witch. Fan made but I think it has a point personally.

Haha, my friends & I have lists about who the Special Infected would have been before they became infected.
Witch - Emo child.
Hunter - Bandit.
Boomer - Really fat guy. [obviously]
Smoker - Pretty obvious.
Tank - Steriod-infested athele.

I feel if you think it's wrong to kill a kid in a VIDEO GAME you are nuts.
