I've edited that rule to make it a bit clearer but SyrianHamster has it right. Biting will cause you to turn, scratches won't.The Walking Dead universe is a little weird about this, honestly. The virus is airborne but it's dormant within everybody until they die. Once you die, the virus activates. However, if you are bitten, you get a very specific kind of illness, usually marked with an insanely high fever and hallucinations. This illness will kill you pretty quickly and you'll re-animate as a walker.Robert Kirkman, the creator of TWD comics, says that zombie bites don't kill you because the active version of the virus is being transmitted or anything; he says you die because of infection or blood loss. The show does it differently because once someone's bitten, that's it, they're as good as dead. They never attempt to disinfect the wound which implies that the infection spreads too fast, but the show has proven that amputations can help you survive so it can't spread fast. The show also has the virus attack your brain functions whilst you're alive so....Yeah, it's confusing. TL;DR: Bites will give you that there walker fever, scratches won't. The wound left behind by the scratch may get infected but the infection would be the same as one caused by being stabbed. The iconic walker fever will only happen to bite victims.

The Walking Dead universe is just one big bundle of LOL. So it's the germs in the walker bite that cause a generic infection? This generic infection then kills the host in a day or two because of reasons? 

I need to meet with the author, to discuss the last 60 years of zombie lore with him. 

Not dissing the RP by the way, I love it, and will play no matter what the zombie lore is, but I just wanted to give the whole bite premise a good ole "o.0"
