Meet the Dom3 Manual Author At Comic Con
 

If anyone is going to SDCC everyone's favorite neurologist, Dr. Bruce Geryk, and author of the Dominions 3 manual will be part of a panel Friday night, June 22nd. The panel is "The Science of Zombies: How Possible Is a Zombie Virus?" and will be at Room 8 from 7:30 until 8:30.

I know little about these "conventions" but I reckon that if you ask a question about Dominions 3 at a panel about zombies, you're going to get kicked out.

Thank you brxbrx for making it clear that it said "meet the author" and not "question the author".
(yes I know that wasnt your intention. Im giving you a support forum response)

Re: Meet the Dom3 Manual Author At Comic Con
 

So can we ask him about the inconsistencies in dom3 manual?

Re: Meet the Dom3 Manual Author At Comic Con
 

All 9 of them? (as far as the wiki)
Everything else seems covered by there being patches, and updates adding entire new nations

San Diego Comic Con
a very interesting convention. Id like to go because SyFy channel will be there which shows some of my favorite tv shows, and the cast of Big Bang amoung other things

....sooo.....
so it's comic, they don't really believe in zombies?? is that it?

Re: Meet the Dom3 Manual Author At Comic Con
 

I did count more than 9 in here but it might be wrong, sure. Then again, I doubt. But sorry to disturb this thread! Good luck in SDCC, whatever it is!

Re: Meet the Dom3 Manual Author At Comic Con
 

No they tend to take things pretty seriously (much like the forums here).

They have discussions on Star Wars, Star Trek, Alphas, X-Men, etc etc. These are degreed people facing down the fan-mob experts. The facts fly, the justifications are deep tech or deep science, and truthfully tends to lose me quickly.

Re: Meet the Dom3 Manual Author At Comic Con
 

Err, OK, thank you. So one final, succinct question:

That's the post. Does the guy who wrote the Dom 3 manual believe there are such things as zombies? Thanks.

Re: Meet the Dom3 Manual Author At Comic Con
 

Why?
In a discussion of how possible something is, I dont think any of them jump up and say they believe its already true. They tend to be more discussions of how it COULD become true. At least all the others Ive watched did.

I suppose someone in the crowd could ask him that. But I suspect it would just get a laugh (which wouldnt be a no either) :)

Re: Meet the Dom3 Manual Author At Comic Con
 

In all probability, its a discussion of the extent to which "zombies" could be possible, and the situations that would be needed to have it happen to that extent.

Re: Meet the Dom3 Manual Author At Comic Con
 

From wiki:

So they're not "possible" (in the normal-ish sense of the word), hence I would imagine the discussion would be pretty short... :)

Re: Meet the Dom3 Manual Author At Comic Con
 

Since the panel name mentions science and virus, not magic, Id guess they are more discussing the TV version in which someone "dies" or seems to die and then gets back up with a damaged mind. I suspect it will be an enjoyable panel if you can follow the medical jargon.

Re: Meet the Dom3 Manual Author At Comic Con
 

Or even a case where someone doesn't die, gets some sort of virus, and becomes zombie like. That is possible to some extent, with the obvious example being rabies, which does do the whole spreading, increased aggression, loss of mental stability thing, all of which are traits common to zombies. One could certainly look at the upper end of what a disease could do to make one "zombie like", and the probabilities thereof.
