To Refuel or NOT to Refule?

True, but they could easily come up with something. They've got the transportation to go get the supplies, the man power, and god only knows what all they could find in that cave.

Yes, but that wasn't going to happen. Of course refueling their one possible means of escape immediately would've been the right thing to do. Not doing it was in keeping with GAR's oh-so-tired device of providing all the openings for zombie incursions/attacks via human stupidity, complacency, or other human failing. If you can't tell, that's one of my biggest pet peeves. I'm not sure if GAR is even *capable* of coming up with a plot line where things go wrong/the zombies prevail through any means aside from failures/flaws of the survivors. That's a rant for another thread though. All I can say is that if I had nothing but a chain-link fence holding back the zombie horde surrounding my (as far as I know) exit-less bunker, there's no way on God's green Earth I'd tolerate leaving the chopper on fumes.

Youd need supplies for that (bricks and mortar) that they probably didn't have. A nice brick wall wouldn't be a bad idea overall thou. If not go out and kill off the dead at the fence, why not build a wall between the chopper/lift and the zombies at the gate so they couldn't see? Maybe then they wouldn't get as agitated. Or just build a tall brick wall all the way around the fence.... Yes, but that wasn't going to happen.

That's a very good idea for a thread. You should start it. I don't want to steal your idea but i'd love to post my thoughts on that.
