Dude, go fuck yourself. I'm an engineering major. What exactly do you want me to showcase my engineering knowledge on in a room with a couch and some snacks?

Wildneress survival is another thing... Collin knows about it, and it sure as hell is gonna be useful later.

Pete grew up in the wilderness. He can hike, fish, hunt, build a fire, etc, whatever.

Bard's good with Rifles and Fire. Both will be useful in time. I mean, yeah, Pete has played airsoft. But Airsoft gives you good aim, at most. But even if your aim's pretty good, you need to know how to maintain a gun, handle and load it as well as fire it. People who've owned and have been firing actual guns would be better at that than you, even though Pete's experience would probably make him way better at it than, say, Phil is.

I have handled rifles. I know how to maintain, load, and fire them, although I may take a moment to learn the specific operations of a particular rifle I am not familiar with. Maybe Bard is a better shot or something than me, but why you would want to use a rifle anyway with fast zombies is beyond me. Good luck aiming for the head and hitting in close quarters (the only time you would need to shoot a zombie anyway). You don't need to aim as much with a shotgun and it would do more damage.

Krogo has computer skills, which will definitely help us while we're still near civilization.

Can do.

Pete has a good skill set, but unless you're saying he can do everything we can do, he certainly could use our help!

Pete can do a solid majority of what everyone else can do, and even for what he can't do, he feels the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. And you may have noticed he's somewhat of a loner? Anti-social? If I were playing this straight I'd probably ditch all or most of you guys, but I'm trying to keep at least MOST of the players together and playing this how I would if I for some reason needed to stay with the group.

Not saying some of the group wouldn't be perfectly well off in the apocalypse, but still.
