Alright guys, you know the drill,

It started out as an unusual outbreak of the flu virus. It occurred in a small town in America that specialised in the distribution of lumber. After the quota most companies came to expect ceased to come in, no alarm was raised. They just turned and looked for a different lumber trader. However, it became apparent something was wrong when three other small towns went silent, and soon people began to worry, that they would contract the flu that was ‘going round’. Nothing happened, no safety measures, no quarantines. Life went on, people went to work blissfully unaware that the end was coming. It was only on the eve of Christmas 2011, that all hell broke loose. In no less than three major cities across the globe, there was an outbreak in a deadly, unknown disease, which killed within the hour of contraction. Authorities diagnosed it as a strain of cholera, and people were given saline solutions to replace the fluids they were losing. It wasn’t enough. By Boxing Day, the cities had gone silent.

The shock of this sudden disease spurred the governments into action. They quarantined the cities, and soon it became known about the small lumber town stopping. However, by the time this came to light, the entire of Canada, and the northern part of the USA had gone deceptively quiet. Looting broke out across the cities, people fled their homes. The armies in all countries formed a desperate coalition, and took control, enforcing unthinkable laws. Whole cities were closed in, and none could escape. However, despite the militaries best attempts, propaganda began to filter out. Something was terribly wrong in the cities that had fallen to the unknown killer plague.

Grainy videos of horrific murders, pictures of people that, despite injuries that defied belief, still walked, brief and chilling messages over the radio, people screaming about the end, calling for aid, sometimes, and these were the most chilling, sometimes there was just a calm refrained voice, of a person, who knew they were going to die, and was simply saying goodbye to loved ones.
The propaganda prepared the world for what was too come. By January 16th outbreaks erupted across the entire of the world. Anywhere where there was a concentration of people, the disease would spread….

The final official broadcast was given by the pope; he spoke to all people, all religions and all races. In the background of his final speech, a low and terrible cacophony of moaning could be heard.
“My children, my brothers, people across the world. It seems that the apocalypse has come. Hell has filled up, the dead walk the earth. The government lied to you. There was no disease, not in the conventional sense. Make peaces with your gods, the dead come, and you cannot stop them.”

Ok! Right, heres what im thinking about. Essentially this will be a phased roleplay. I tried one with my tyranid roleplay a while back, and it went well.

Ok sure do what ya need to do mate, But remember, if i dont approve of your DMing, ill release justin Beiber on you...

Well, there we go. Vengeance for Spook!

Also, what city/town/country/area/etc is this taking place in? I'd like it to be england cause then I might actually find my way around. I'm crap with geography

Maybe we should put a limit on this thing now - 6-8 players?

And lets make sure we have no zombies for a page of RPing ATLEAST. [/fin]

(and what's with the zed thing? Oh right! I get it now..hehe)

Who's DMing then? i said i'd like to be a survivor this time round :S

Oh right, I thought because you posted the thread you were DM'ing

If you want me to, I will DM so you can RP.

I'll follow Fitzz's example in the last one. My character's name will be Fitzz. Not really.

Hope one of you does before someone else comes in, nabs the spot and does a bad job.

Eh, count me out of this one - I'm pretty sucky at only being a DM, prefer to be a player.

So... can we have a set time to start this one? Like maybe 4PM tomorrow? Seems like a good time.. then again it's the saturday before school starts... :/

Perhaps 7PM again?

Also, perhaps we should PM all of the players from the last RP, just to make sure they see this one. I'll do it if noone else wants to, provided I get the time.

I want to see silver DM if he really wants to. I'll be rubbish as a DM(actually I'll just be a grade a jerk about it as the power goes to my head) so I call "not it"!

Good call, Nachos! Perhaps you'll join in this time? oO

If Fitzz DM's I see a quick death for ghosty in retaliation, but he seems to be the forgiving type so it would be cool if he took charge.

I'll be dm. I'm feel that I'm a terrible player.

But yeah, I already made my character up. I'll do what I do everytime I RP, just follow you guys.

Golden Eyed Scout wrote:I'll be dm. I'm feel that I'm a terrible player.

Sure? I thought you were a pretty good player in most of the RP's I've seen.

As I said, I have no problem DM'ing. Already written down a few ideas for plotline etc too... though I can use them another time perhaps if you really want to DM

Still enough room for me to jump in?

Of course; only got about 4 characters!

What about the other guys who wanted to play in the last one, but were locked out. Should we pm them and let them know we have a game going on?

I think Lord of Ghost's was the only other one besides cereal killer.

Should we sort out who is the DM first, then let the DM PM them after they have the game sorted?

@ c34r34lk1ll3r - I think there is room for you at the moment if you want to make a character.

Hey Karon, maybe you should change your character, considering the one your using died in the other RP...

With cerealkiller we have 6 characters so we should have room for 2 or 3 more.

@ silver, why haven't you PM'ed them already?

Wait, Silver's the DM? Did we confirm that?

Eh. I'm not complaining. I am, however, going to eat and sleep and see you all tomorrowz.

Noone kill my character off while I'm gone. Again.

Confusion at its best. i'd say silver, as he said he'd like to first? And secondly cos i wanna rp with GES ^-^. Ill PM Fitzz

BTW Karon, i see what your doing

AHHH am I to late

i'm gone for a few hours and this happens

Then zombie ninjas appeared out of nowhere and killed Shadow.

See, that's would happen if I was DM.

I don't know who's DM at the time and we haven't confirmed who was, I was simply messing around.

And about karon's character, you know how they say that everyone has a twin somewhere in the world so maybe this is Jewman's twin who has the same exact name and profession and background...
