Storm Front touched on how the Ghouls and the rest of the Infected are showing more intolerance to sunlight, changes to regen and supposedly a greater hunger/more feral attitude.

How is this going to affect Asamando and the scattered ghoul communities?

They are already not well liked in many corners, but the attitude has been 'well as long as they stay over there and not in my back yard......'

Will some nations, especially those on their borders, decide it may be safer/easier to just remove the threat altogether rather than seek new solutions to the growing issue?

Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?

The removal for a somewhat cohese country is a possibility but where are those? And in every case if they start a purge like this and succeeed, and supposing the impossible and say "Succede Completely", being ghouldom an infective virus how they think they remain virusless for any string of time?
Oh a purge could happens but not a definitive measure at any lenght.

I don't see a problem in Asamando, well if they really go feral the problem will not be Asamando the facto no more a state to talk on but the near territory... I could see a Lagos zombie battle in the future, as that city wasn't feral enough..

The trouble with a purge would be sending in troops. Which are not only what ghouls eat but potentially more ghouls. Maybe a corporation will wipe them out with drones or something to get at their natural resources but I don't think their neighbors have the juice to pull it off.

Edit- I see a ghoul apocalypse on the horizon.

The Ghouls in Asamando are also trained in non-lethal combat.

They prefer to take prisoners with invading armies.

Take that as you will.

That's why you use drones.  8)

On the plus side, will finally be able to unload that SPF350 Sunblock been sitting in the warehouse for a bit.

Was afraid a lot of the responses would go straight to blow em up.  Pity that synthetic food for ghoul chow has not really worked out, this could have been handy, which is probably why the Big D tried to nudge it along in the Will.

Big D had seen another breakout of that virus (or something VERY similar) in past eras, they know what was bound to happens and thought the technology could provide that surrogate metameat, and rightly so seeing our RL technology how did the syntethic meat not so much time ago, well from there to some synthetic meat made of metahuman cell is in the possibility of Megacorp biotech...
That's would be a thing I would see... and I could see how the Megas will use it, goes to some ghouls and say, works for me I'll give you food and maybe some who couldn't resist enter in our property

Do ghouls see zombie movies as exploitative? Or as comedies?

More on topic, killing them is just the natural reaction. Trying to make peace with something that wants to eat you generally doesn't work.

Dragons are a good example for this too....

Yeah you're right and that is bad because some are reasonable as a SR person with a difficult past and present could be (Hannibelle is one), in that Big D see it coming, probably he should do something more about it.

That's why "Never deal with a dragon" is a saying. Maybe feed the ghouls to the dragons? Hmm...

Maybe if you stewed them a bit with some veggies and spices, a sort of a ghoulash if you will. ;)
