  Everyone knows Virgil had a character model. He’s a boat.

  A possible explanation for the fallen parachutist: the military was air-dropping supplies and things went wrong. This is backed up by the abundance of bile jars.

  Virgil didn't turn because he's a boat. Boats are notorious for being immune to viruses.

  I remember Coach saying something like "If you're forced to turn to swamp people to get out of the city, i dont think CEDA is doing their jobs right."

  I always enjoyed the theory that the crashed plane caused the village to fall. They were doing well and would have likely survived much longer in their "middle of nowhere" home, until a plane full of infected smashed their front door

  Swamp Fever is extremely underrated and it's probably because every chapter has a part where you get lost very easily

  ohh there&apos;s another conversation when they ride on the cable ferry.<br>-<br>Ellis: &quot;Listen up, everybody, be on the lookout for blood farmers. I&apos;m serious.&quot; <br>Rochelle: &quot;What? Blood farmers? Boy, what in the hell are you talking about?&quot; <br>Ellis: &quot;Duh. Farmers that don&apos;t grow crops? They grow people. To Eat.&quot; <br>Rochelle: [Laughing] &quot;Sorry I even asked.&quot; <br>[Alternative line] Nick: &quot;Jesus Christ, Ellis, like the goddamn zombies aren&apos;t bad enough.&quot; <br>Ellis: &quot;Yeah, well, you&apos;ll be real sorry if we run into them.&quot;

  The charger being hung up like that, almost like being a threat to the zombies, is one of the coolest things in all of left for dead <br><br>“You want to infect us? Come and try”

  L4d2 crew felt more natural. Mainly because we see them go from strangers to family. <br><br>Nick has the most obvious change up. <br><br>But seeing Rochelle become more laid back. <br>Ellis becomes more mature. (Although he&apos;s still nieve as heck)<br>And Coach is staying humble, even in the darkest times.

  The swamp people are absolute chads.<br>Other considerable holdouts, like Riverside (Which held out over a week, and only fell due to overexhaustion and the special infected showing up) or Mercy Hospital (Which made a last stand against all odds while the L4D1 survivors were on their way there), mainly endured due to overwhelming firepower, military support, external volunteers, and determination - But the swamp people didn&apos;t have overwhelming firepower, or military backing, nor external help. They held their ground on sheer determination alone, in the middle of a swamp, with only the supplies they had on hand, <i>and they still held out longer than any other nearby city.</i><br><br>Also, the difference between &quot;Village en marais&quot; and &quot;Village des marais&quot; is very minor; The former means &quot;Village in the swamp&quot; and the other means &quot;Village of the swamps&quot;.

  Considering the number of survivors from village en marais, it seems likely a rather high number of them were carries if they lasted that long in an area full of zombies. Would also explain why they hate the military so much, since as carriers the military probably would have executed some of them when contact was made.
