"Both? Neither?

I can do just fine by myself. In fact, I have some advantages to going solo. I can move at my own pace, haul my own gear and worry about myself once I get to my primary BOL.

I don't like the idea of a "colony." Let's cram a whole bunch of ordinary people, who are likely emotionally unstable due to major unexpected physical and psychological trauma into an area and expect them to be able to function normally... on top of that, add flesh eating zombies. I'll take my chances elsewhere, thank you very much.

However, if I could pick any scenario, I would want a small party of 4-6 like-minded friends or family to live in a wilderness retreat sort of thing. You get the advantages of mobility afforded to individuals, but with the advantage of extra hands working on similar goals. No need for structured leadership, none of the BS associated with living in close proximity to strangers.... "

"Start a new town, Where i live, we can farm, and hunt, surviving on your own here would be impossible, especially in the winter.
A war between to towns in my area would be devastating for both, unless it happens in one foul sweep, and even then, towns would have to work together, because some areas have access to farm land, but not any medicine, other supply, and the other has supply's, but cant hunt, grow food. "

"Although i said i would be most likely oining some sort of colony/survival group i neglected to actually answer your question of who would be allowed in. I personally would allow anyone who has skills or intelligence that could potentially benefit all in the colony. Before being allowed in a full search will be conducted to check for bites and other signs of infection. Women and men will not bunk in the same area of camp to prevent potential rape scenarios (this tends to happen during disasters). I would establish a town watch consisting of those with expertise in security (if any can be found). Town watch will not only watch for infected individuals but keep the peace within the colony, and enforce laws. Basic laws are
1: If you dont work, you dont eat
1a: this law takes exception to those who are unable to work due to severe illness or advanced pregnancy. Other exemptions include those under age 4.
