OOC: Alright, let's get this on! I'll say the lead pipe has 1 item strength. Plus I'm unskilled with it. Crap. Well, I'll go ahead and re-roll for my first hit, since now I know what I'm up against. ICC: Teach shouted and leaped for the handgun, swinging his pipe at the back of the first zombie's neck. He was rewarded with...A loud snap, and the zombie falling to the ground! (First hit: 16! I'm throwing the total in, it's 11 with the armor rating. [OOC]) Teach was too slow to block a clawing from the next zombie, and was injured fairly badly (Got hit a four :? ). He knew any more hits like that would take him down, and viciously swung the pipe at the zombie's head. Teach wasn't ready for the pipe to go right through the zombie's head (14), and if flew through the broken glass doors and onto the grass outside. Unfortunately, the zombie was not completely dead, as its brain was relatively unharmed. It lunged at him, but only a passing tooth snagged his shoulder (1 damage). By then, Teach had grabbed the handgun. Praying to anything he could think of that a round was still chambered, Teach swung the pistol around and pulled the trigger. A 9mm slug tore through the zombie's remaining bits of skull, effectively putting it out of action for good. However, this made a lot more noise than Teach would have liked, so he replaced the magazine inside the weapon with a fresh one and began to walk his new-found animals back out into the street. It was dusk, and night was very soon to come. Feeling desperate, Teach hopped on the back of the bull and started to urge the animal towards the fire station - the most easily defensible location he could think of. Feeling dizzy, he tore a strip of cloth off of his shirt and made a makeshift bandage around his stomach to stem the blood flow. He was surprised that it took a mere four minutes. Hopefully he'd be able to make the center of town before night fell - no more than an hour away. So he rode on. OOC: I hope I did it right...Surprised at my luck with the rolls. Here's to hoping I reach you all before night.

Wow, quite a post there Chris. I do have to say though, China's only "soft power" is economic. They make plenty of things, but their diplomatic relations with most of the world are terrible.

OOC: Well, I didn't really know what we were rolling against. What's the strength of a stumbler? I just figured 12, and hit a 2... :? And I thought enough time had passed, I wasn't sure if a lot of time in real-life meant a lot of time in-game had passed. >_< Meh, I'll do some rolls once I find out the zombies' strengths, and if I die, I'll make another character...Who may or may not be exactly the same. Don't judge me :P

It's surely going to be a future release, probably in July. I wish I knew where it was too, at level 67 it's sure to give great experience. Bet it'll be easy to fail unless you're 80+ or so, though. :?

Sweden and Switzerland are always neutral. Odds are, all of the Norselands would be. Nowadays Egypt would side with us, and most of the Russian satellites would side with Russia, whomever they chose. But, as has been said before, nowadays its just not all-out warfare. The "cool" thing is covert, urban warfare, in which Israel, the U.S., England, and Germany are most likely the top dogs.

OOC: Well, alrighty then I figure the time it's taken must have been close to 13 hours anyway. ICC: Teach rushed through the last of the farms. It was getting dark, and fast. He could see the brooding shape of the Wal-Mart in the distance, no more than ten minutes away. He continued to walk, and stumbled over a bush of what appeared to be strawberries. He gathered up a handful, and continued his walk. As soon as he stepped onto the sidewalk (not that there was much of one left), he heard a massive "MOO!" Dropping the strawberries and bringing the pipe to bear, Edward sighed with relief when he discovered it was merely a pair of cows. Thinking quickly, Teach checked them both - Healthy, disease-free, and both different sexes, as far as he could see. They even had what looked like reins attached to them. Apparently some fellow had been desperate enough to ride his cows! When he started to walk towards the superstore, Teach noticed something was wrong with the female cow. She had trouble walking, and her stomach sagged. Teach wasn't sure what that meant, as he was not familiar with cows. Deciding it would be better to get in the store safely and then take care of it, he rushed the animals inside - and then wished he hadn't. A pair of zombies were feasting on the corpse of a pair of humans. Teach saw a pistol on the ground, and edged towards it. The zombies still hadn't seen or smelled him, until the heifer let out another loud moo. Yelling and swinging the pipe at the closest zombie with his right hand, Teach groped about frantically for the pistol with his left. The pipe was heavy and unwieldy - he'd barely done any damage to the zombie (OOC: Damn dice :P) - and he would not survive if he didn't reach the pistol. OOC: Little help here, guys? Thought this would be a good way to meet.

I'm very confused.

I wouldn't say that at all. Russia hardly passed into Democracy (I personally believe the KGB still controls most of the country, but whatever) and is a bit teetery right now. China, as Assassin said, is still tearing through its industrial revolution. Now, if we attempted to invade either of them, we'd be toast, as Shinjula says. But if they tried to invade us, they'd be toast. That's pretty much a stalemate between the three superpowers. So, militarily, I'd say we, Russia, and China are on pretty even footing. Economically, not even close. Not to mention the odds of China's troops' morale being low from the start are quite high. Seriously, would you want to be in a plane going to try and surpass America's air defenses? Quite.

OOC: Well, I'm walking through farms on the side not filled with zombies. What am I supposed to do? :(

Spain and France each controlled more than twice (thrice, maybe...Not positive on the actual numbers) the amount of land in North America and England. England did control South Africa, India, and Australia though.

spam noob much? Oh you're a bright one, he answered a vague question correctly. Fairy rings are the absolute fastest. If you don't feel like taking ten minutes to unlock them, get to the grand tree, and find Kathy Corkat right before the hunting area begins. Pay her 50 (or 5?) gold coins to have her boat you up to Piscatoris.

Actually, with low nature prices and high essence prices, I heard you'll make anywhere from 600-800k an hour. Still good, steady profit.

Actually it's forty runes if you use pouches. And that adds up, considering you're paying 20 runes for about 500 experience or so ( I was getting 500-600 per trip at 65-70). Better to use dual rings. Also, remember to refill prayer at the altar. You can wear black dragonhide to protect from the magic attacks, and use the protect from ranged prayer.

Do you mean in recent years? Because England has had many times more wars than the U.S.. lol, dude england dominated the world for a long time. reminds me of what australia was for a while... ANYONE get what im referring to? Don't get what you're saying about Australia, but I wouldn't say England dominated the world. France, Spain, and Holland were all about equal to them in all but navy status. Holland and Spain were probably a bit behind in economic status as well, but had massive landholdings. France controlled much of Africa, Spain controlled much of the Americas, and Holland controlled a fair piece of Asia.

Nimitz-class Carriers. Make any nation cower in fear. While China and Russia would give us quite a run in a war, we'd most likely turn out the winner if we got a few of those into play soon. Remember when China was baiting Taiwan with missile tests near Taiwan's territorial waters? One Nimitz moved into the area stopped that (Yes, I learned that part from Future Weapons, but my grandfather served on a Nimitz). It doesn't really matter anyway. The world's super powers all know better than to start a war with another. It'd really be quite crazy...

Balloon method. And it won't take long, I got all of mine in about ten minutes.

I mow lawns occasionally. When I get charged with mowing a public place, I cut the grass too short. Take that, that's how we'll free Tibet! Honestly though, my jobs usually center around lawn work and such. So there's not a whole lot I can do, apart from putting poison on my lawn mower's blades.

Why does everyone want only 2-3 kids? I plan on having a minimum of ten. We'll probably be panhandlers, but, meh. We'll be panhandlers with awesome stories. "'Scuse me sir, could I have some change? I was conceived and born while my parents were skydiving."

Samuel L. Jackson in: Obese people on a plane. :P I think this is perfectly fine. If you take up an extra seat, you should pay for it. Just like me and my tail, I always have to pay extra for space.

I see what you did there. We're actually a relatively normal family. On occasion we suit up into our Megazord and fight crime, but that's about it.

I don't even get asked for an ID when I get M games, and I'm 13 :P Then again, I don't really look it...Ah well, congrats on surviving.

No Canadian has ever called soccer football. And its Canada not Canadia you [bleep] [developmentally delayed]. I'm originally from Saskatchewan, but i was in Manitoba during the last grey cup, i got to make fun of all my friends at school the next day! :thumbsup: Didn't know that, interesting. A kid that said he was from Canada in 5th grade said stuff about Canada that made it sound like Englandia. Then again, he was in the special class. We really shouldn't have believed him.

OOC: Hehe, someone knows piratical history. And since we kinda aren't moving, I'll begin. ICC: Edward Teach closed the eyelids of his former manager. He had to escape the textile factory. It seemed that all the zombies were gone for the moment, but odds were they'd grow in numbers as he went east. HE really had two routes: Go straight east, along the main streets, or circle through the farms all around the city to get straight to the northern section of town. He chose the latter option. After taking what was left of the factory group's supplies, he thought about searching for a weapon. He decided he's better, so he searched for three minutes, finding a hefty pipe. He wouldn't be able to use it too well, but it was better than nothing. He started out the north, darting through the massive shadows of all the factories. He found many dead bodies, and decided to loot them periodically. He didn't find much, besides a few wads of clothing and a backpack, but a security guard had 22 rounds of 9mm ammunition. Teach searched for the pistol for three minutes in vain, but had to move on. He could faintly hear the moans of zombies. He carried on to the north, and estimated that he'd be able to reach the town's Wal-Mart in 13 hours.

Might want to let it known that it's American football. What with Canadia also calling soccer football on occasion. (I know it's not Canadia. Just poking fun at Canadiaians.)

You have to have one person ready to lead the kids back to another place for an ambush, skull.
