The numbering system at Sanctuary

Or at least their number is representative of their status. Or something. Hell, I don't know! Alls I can say is that it reminds me of some "Corporate America" bullshit. At the same time, I think we should implement a number system here. Obviously I will take #69. If you have a higher ranking number like 7 or 12, so what? I still outrank you!!! Anyway- back to the show... I want to know more about this system that Negan has. Not just the numbers but their "code of honor", their morals, their rules, etc. It seems like there's a shit ton of assholes there and a lot of chumps and somehow they function.... or do they? That's the part that doesn't make any sense. Dwight basically got the shit beat out of him for nothing. Then he had to lie and frame the doctor, who died for nothing. It's total organized chaos in that place.

wickedjenИ • Chris Evan's Wife Forager Posts: 269 Likes: 218 Gender: Female	Post by wickedjenИ on Feb 28, 2017 17:36:47 GMT I'm very curious about the # thing too, I wondered about it after the last episode. I also recall Negan mentioning a point system, when he said everyone could get vegetables (or something) at dinner, "no points needed." I guess that the points are more to do with whatever work you put out, the more you do, the more points you earn, etc. I agree with you in that I think the #s must have to do with some sort of rank, those who are closes to Negan maybe have lower numbers? He still addresses people by name, well, at least Dwight, I've not heard him call anyone a number that I can think of. Perhaps it's more of a way for Negan to keep track of people so they can look up "# whatever" if they need some sort of status check on the person.

danae • I have Jesus inside me. Global Moderator Posts: 1,796 Likes: 1,177 Gender: Female	Post by danae on Mar 1, 2017 14:04:22 GMT I have been curious about the number system also. And what of the letters on the workers (those at the bottom of the barrel, the ones who have pissed off Negan) who wear the sweats. Daryl's letter was A. Was that indicative of where he landed in the hierarchy of "prisoners" working the outside gates, the ones responsible for walker wrangling? The Sanctuary and the way it is managed is quite intriguing. Maybe a sanctuary dissident will touch on this in a conversation with someone in our group. Otherwise I just think it will remain something one of those points that is never fully explained.
