Something Zombie Related

[Wisp]

It's two weeks after the evacuations started, that was the day everything went wrong. Telling 5 million panicked, angry, and scared people to leave a city is a disaster in of itself, but add a monster to the equation, and it becomes hell. Maybe some people are still alive in the city, maybe they're all dead. Or kind of dead. What matters now is that we're alive, and they haven't found us yet. But I know that we cannot stay here for long.

The prom was cut short and the case was closed by the police as a brutal tragedy, they shipped him off to an undisclosed asylum. He never left his cell in the asylum, even when recesses were given, he just sat paciently waiting. On the time he did move, he always reinacted a play perfectly in his cell, he mimed it out. It was a story of what seemed to be crazed people attacking and biting scared individuals, it was obviously a zombie attack, and psychiatrists tried their hardest to get him to speak, but he never opened his mouth, nor even signed. It was the eve of the zombie attacks, and 8 was very unrestly in his cell, it took a team with sedatives to finally make him sleep. He was awoken by screaming staff, everything was turning into hell. Patients were walking freely out of their cells, only to be taken down by the zombies. 8 saw his chance of escape, and he ran, he took a supply of knives with him as he left.

[Retech]

To tell the truth, half the time I was modding Dungeoneering, I didn't use a dice. Shocking? :blink:

[Wisp]

Well, maybe we could have minimum dice rolls or something, so that you don't do something too ridiculous.

Here's how the game would be setup for a start:

A map of an area (I'm thinking like a medium suburban town, shopping centre etc, maybe some forest or farmaland.)

5(?) different classes to start from, each with some bonus ability each, plus this determines your starting skills.

For a start, you would all need to find a safe place to sleep, or take turns guarding while the others sleep, or similar.

 

Also, we could have a few different ways to have zombies set up.

 

1)

Romero Zombies. Slow, headshot to kill, don't need to breathe etc. If they see you they moan, which attracts more.

2)

Fast & Slow:

For fast, think Dawn of the Dead remake, fast, but otherwise the same as Romero. And they can climb, atleast a bit. Fast would be rarer than slow zombies.

3)

Different types:

Zombies with special abilities, for example a screamer which attracts tons of zombies if it sees you. Think left 4 dead setup, mostly standard zombies, with a few special ones.

[Wisp]

Oh, and one thing I want to add to this game. Atleast for the first while, I would try to make a summary of what happened each day and put it on the the front of the thread, incase anyone missed a day.

[Ieyfura]

Count me in, I'll edit this post for my character once a setup is made :)

[Retech]

Classes:

 

-Builder (builds fortifications faster, bonuses towards escaping destroyed houses, etc.)

-Scavenger (highest speed, best at foraging)

-Farmer (grows food faster, better results, etc)

-Athlete (can lift the most weight, best at hand to hand)

-Soldier (best marksman)

 

Athlete sounds like a strange class. I was thinking more of a scale kinda thing, from highest to lowest. That was just a rough sketch, but it makes it easier to compare classes than descriptions.

 

 

Combat Ability:

Soldier

Builder

Farmer

Outdoors Scientist

Scavenger/Hobo

 

Speed:

Scavenger/Hobo

Builder

Farmer

Outdoors Scientist

Soldier

 

 

Intellect:

[Seraphi]

Sure, it does seem the logical choice of reincarnation for the zombie survival thread. And since it's just for fun, I'm not going to throw up any arguments about special zombie types, because as far as I'm concerned, it will help vary the game a bit.

 

I call builder!

[Nexaduro]

What, no religious fanatic class? How dull.

 

I think I'll probably be a builder if we go by Rocco's class list, though I think Doom could do much better.

 

Sorry, I meant Scavenger.

[Icuownage]

I'd go scavenger, especially if this is a team effort.

[Nexaduro]

Kinda like what we tried to do with HH? Yeah, that would be cool. Not gonna turn my back to Dusty if he joins, though. Nor Earth, he would probably die in an instant if he did something wrong. I would like to assist with this, it would be fun to help out the mod of a game without worrying about running it myself.

[Seraphi]

House? Nawwwww, we want a train. Well, I guess we could start with a house, but eventually we'd want to get a train.

[Earth]

NEX. your being an ass, y'know that? i usually find my way out of bad situations i get into. anyways, wish someone hadnt taken bulder, and ill eb the scientist. no one else will.

[The_Mather1]

Wow, if I were to make a character based on myself I'd be a Mary Sue or whatever it's called.

 

And incoming flame wall of people who don't believe me... *sigh*

|

V

[Earth]

mary sue? how could you be a mary sue dude? you arent perfect. in any aspect. just like the rest of us.

[Seraphi]

You can't be a mary sue. Arrogance is a major drawback.

 

Seriously. You just called yourself more or less perfect, and then you keep saying you aren't arrogant (You said it elsewhere, but still)? Stop kidding yourself, Mather.

[The_Mather1]

My only imperfections lie in my blood and mind... and some on my nose and forehead. :razz:

 

I'm not saying I'm inperfect, I'm saying my body and knowledge is closed to being it. The only faults my body have are slightly elevated cholesterol and little iron. My mind however is as you know; [bleep]ed up.

[Earth]

thats actually quite wrong mather. youve got lots of things wrong with you, at least half of the amount of problems i have for meself. curse my memory, but i can only name Rosses Arrogance lance at you.

[Nexaduro]

The only reason you would have a tiny chance of survival is that you have access to/knowledge of improvised-ammo weaponry and a cold, isolated environment.

[The_Mather1]

Actually Norway can be quite hot at summer, though sub-zero (celsius) grades last through the vinter (it somethimes get down to -30 degrees).

 

Anyways, other than some slight abnormalities in my blood the only thing that's wrong with me is in my mind (as in personality).

[Icuownage]

Uhhhh... I really don't see how anyone can be perfect, I mean if you have ever made a mistake you have lost the perfect status right there.

[Earth]

because, that was totaly random. and.. nex? what the eff is that for? it doesnt make any sense. and if i have such a slim chance, you have none.

[Nexaduro]

... I was talking to Mather, y'know, the subject of the discussion?

 

Neither of us would have much chance at all. Mid-sized city in NY means a crudload of zombies. You have your much-flaunted asthma, and I have random stitches (not actual stitches, chest pains) and bad lung capacity from a childhood illness. I might make it, if I managed to weaponize some fireworks at my cousins' house. Otherwise, everyone in Ithaca who doesn't get out soon is doomed.

[Retech]

Personally I probaly wouldn't survive long, but I have an idea.

 

1. Get lots of gas for your car

2. Drive to Tennessee

 

 

Why? Fattest people in the fattest state in the fattest nation in the world = Fattest zombies

[Nero]

Soldier class, obviously.

 

And best place to go would be Alaska. All the zombies would just freeze to death, since when have you seen a zombie movie where they take care to put on proper clothing for cold temperatures?

[Earth]

actually, not that vaunted. only really talk about it when nececary, such as when its in full swing. here, we got into an asthmatic discusion, so i put in my asthma stat. anyways, thats true, but techy, that ont work. the fatest zombies arent nececarily in tenesee.
