Both group are strong, but only one will be crowned...

THE DEADLIEST FICTIONAL WARRIOR!!!!!!

Chester's Mill Residents
Chester's Mill, Maine was your typical, sleepy little Anytown, USA. That was until D-Day. One day, a mysterious invisible dome was dropped on top of it, completely trapping all inside. The citizens then had to figure out how to survive with no way into the outside world. problems such as food and water shortages, electricity, and maintaining order arose. The fact that almost all of the town's leaders and the entire fire department were out of town didn't help. So the citizens looked to local councilman and car salesman Big Jim Rennie for leadership. However, Big Jim was secretly manipulative and power hungry. They would also look to Dale "Barbie" Barbara, a U.S. Army veteran who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. the town tried to maintain order for as long as they could. but conflicts, such as water shortages and distrust, began to tear the town apart. When Big Jim framed Barbie for murder, he turned the entire town against him and almost had him executed.

Walking Dead Survivors
In 2010, Rick Grimes, a sheriffs deputy from Georgia, was shot and placed in a coma. After almost two months, he finally awoke. He found out, however, that the world was not what it once was. Humanoid, flesh-eating creatures, dubbed "Walkers", had taken over. Rick quickly had to adjust to this new way of life. After miracleously finding his wife and son, he took leadership of a group of survivors. They faced the walkers, and many other obstacles, while losing people along the way. Their biggest threat, ironically, was other humans. Rick and his group faced off against people like the Governor and the Woodbury Army, Joe and the Claimers, Gareth and the Terminus, and currently the Wolves. Over the course of the apocalypse, Rick has changed drastically. His primary concern used to be only those he cared about. That changed when he became leader of Alexandria, a community trying to turn the world back into what it once was.

X-Factors
1. I gave leadership to the WD Survivors. In Chester's Mill, there's a power struggle between Big Jim and Barbie. Because of this, the leadership decisions of the town are sometimes very poor. On the other part, the group and most of Alexandria accept Rick as their leader. If anyone questions his judgement, they are quickly proven otherwise.

2. Experience was an easy edge for the WD Survivors. They have foughten zombies, militias, cannibals and bandits. In Chester's Mill, the only fighting is among themselves.

3. It was a tough call, but in the end, I gave Logistics to the WD Survivors. Rick and his group are able to make do with what they have, but have to constantly make supply runs. In Chester's Mill, they can only use the limited food, water, and ammounition inside the Dome.

4. Call me crazy, but I gave this one to the Chester's Mill Residents. On the Walking Dead team, Rick is the only one with any  official  combat training. With Chester's Mill, barbie was an Army Ranger, Linda also has police training, and Sam is an EMS, which is extremely valuable.

5. Group Unity was another easy win for the WD Survivors. Rick's group rarely fights, and if they do, it never goes past a few punches. In Chester's Mill, their only combat experience is AGAINST each other. Plus, as I stated before, Barbie's and Big Jim's power struggle doesn't help their cause.
