How on earth could I forget? I set it up. The Marvel movies are also supposed to be set in the 'real world'. I'm saying that just because it's in the 'real world' doesn't mean that this has to be realistic to the tilt. If this was realistic, the likelihood that any of us would still be alive is pretty low.
"Thanks for everyone's suggestions, although I will defend my position a little.
When #72 came back to the Walmart, he warned nobody of the impending danger except #53, who both escaped and abandoned the rest of the White Thorns. The only person who really knew was Steven who heard a little of their convo and #72 warned him to protect his daughter. Although Steven was prepared, he was off finding a good hiding place for his daughter.
After that, the rest of the White Thorns were trying to get first-aid supplies in a desperate and all-too-futile effort to try to revive Roy. When they snapped out of their funk, they were mourning Roy. They also did not have their guns on them at the time. So, they were both physically and mentally unprepared for an attack.
Also, carrying a body for 4.5 miles takes much longer than an extra 5 minutes. In addition to that, #72 had a knife wound in his side, which, in addition to the body he was carrying, made it extremely hard for him to get there. So, Blake probably got there in a short amount of time in the bigger picture.
As for the percentages snarky came up with, I don't like to be rude but I'm going to allow myself to say this: the decimals you put on there does not convince me that you used any logic and/or reasoning to produce such numbers.
There are openings in the human skull such as the eyes, nose and mouth that throwing a knife into could be easier. I don't research soft spots on the human body, but I think the temples are also a good spot. Those are some examples of easy places, but also, Blake is much faster and stronger and smarter than the average human. I mean, aren't all of our characters? It'd be pretty boring if we just threw someone exactly like us into a zombie apocalypse.
Blake didn't just have his hunting knives; I thought I specified this in that post as well but I must not have – nvm i did. Blake had the hunting knives in addition to the 2 throwing knives that Chris gave him.
Slitting throats is where you are actually wrong, though. Slitting throats is frighteningly easy and is often compared to cutting a slice of meat. Although the death is slower than instant, it is very effective. Not only do you cut their windpipe but also their jugular and another essential part I think.
As for the aim, Blake's been here for a while and he actually is used to a gun – he's good at using them. Also, he was more preoccupied with killing them than the injury he sustained, so the impact of the shoulder on psyche and other arm was lessened by his lack of focus on the actual injury. Afterwards, the pain hit him and he let it take him over.

All that being said, yes, I exaggerated. I exaggerated a lot. It was pretty unrealistic, but do we truly need to make sure everything is perfect? It's a sci-fi roleplay (oh okie thanks naoh) and it's not supposed to be uber-realistic. It's supposed to be fun. I'm not going to bash on the other examples of unrealistic fighting I saw because honestly it doesn't bother me too much. I don't think we should be so anal over things all the time – we've been tensing up and arguing with each other over this role-play when our original goal was to have fun with each other. So we should stick to that.
It was appropriate to be anal about the post I made – yea, the fighting scene was a bit unreasonable. I'll tone it down next time I want to make a bold move. But from here on out let's stop fighting and just have fun with it
(also gtg sorry will read messages later)"
Oh my frickning gosh, way to go S_swimmer I feel like you justified all your actions. (Sorry it didn't quote your message.) Like Naoh said,
I mean Snarkly, you threw a knife 30 feet in to a guys temple, that's not so realistic.
Any way I really don't have any part in this, but I just thought I'd remind you guys, this is about role playing with your friends and having fun, don't turn it in to a war.
Thanks.

And then @Snarkly_Wondermuffin and Timdood3 said,
Name 3 realistic zombie apocalypse scenarios. I mean seriously, this is Role Playing.
I mean Snarkly, you threw a knife 30 feet in to a guys temple, that's not so realistic.

Nova, amateurs start with a 6' distance between them and their target. For a former professional, who has continues to do this this proficiently for the past 6 months, 30' wouldn't be all that hard.
Also,
1. WWZ, Zombie virus. Scientists say that a virus like that is possible.
2. The Walking Dead. Another brain virus.
3. 28 Days Later. The Rage Virus
And 4 just to humor you, this rp. Another virus.

And yeah, I do agree that he did justify a lot of his actions. But I also agree with him that it was a bit exaggerated. However, even if my math was off the odds were definitely against him. Guess he had a lucky streak 
Ok all, I've heard some people say that they think this rp is now "dead." BUT I have a solution . Plot twist! Kaes, Ash, Riley, Fredrik, and Aleta all end up crossing paths with #72 and the other dude. As they were escaping, you know? Could add some sort of action, no? Then the group would be back together for a bit?

((S_swimmer, Timdood3, Enderfive, Naoh, CaffeinatedKitty, Toiletprincess))
who said the RP is dead
Sounds fine to me, I'm in, depending on the situation #53 will prob be able to escape but def not #72
also I did not completely forget to write Steven vs Blake no sir I did not
I said it was killed. Dead would infer that it just didn't have anything more to offer, but this was basically killed by a chain of events that went the wrong direction.
noah get on steam u nerd
How was it killed tho? The chain of events did make the plot much more interesting but it's not like it was killed imo
There are many more things we can do its not a situation that can't be salvaged
soo....are we continuing this or not??

((Timdood3, Naoh, S_swimmer, Toiletprincess, CaffeinatedKitty, Enderfive))
hi yes we should continue and I'm having a writers block with everything rn so ou i haven't posted yet
Also its up to you guys on how to continue with your group; naoh and i can probably come up with some content to keep everyone busy but for now you guys should probably discuss how your new group is going to move forward

((I'm just going to assume they did))
Kaes looked around at the group the followed him: Ash, Aleta and Fredrick. His goal had been accomplished; he'd gotten himself and the others away from those...how to say it....less than savory individuals....before they gotten everyone hurt or killed. As for what to do now, everyone seemed clueless. "Ash, you know the city, right? If we're not going straight out into the wilderness, where do we go?"
