Being able to shoot out of barricades would be nice, hehe.

I'm undead at the Cemetary near St Benedict's hospital if anyone's around and got the good stuff.

BlueDagger wrote:btw standing outside the Kene police station. Will dance for rez

Shuffle on to the RP at Salopia Row if you're not rezzed before you next have AP. The Station is not a RP and survivors are well within their rights to KOS you. Save your and their AP by trying to end your undead day on a designated RP.

I did, but sat on them for 2+ days with no rez. I figure this way either A) I get combat rezed or B) a survivor gets some easy XP

XP is not easy or difficult when it comes to fighting Zack. It's really a matter of AP. Every AP spent killing a friendly is one less fighting the enemy. The XP thing doesn't make up for it. A survivor also gets XP from fighting the real foe. Meanwhile, you die just to get up again as a full health zed and the whole wasteful cycle repeats. A better use of your own AP is life culting against enemy zeds (you can tell that they're enemies because they're not on RPs) or, in the case of getting fed up with an inactive RP, shuffling for the next-closest RP. Combat revives are a waste of 10AP to execute and who knows how many more AP from finding the needle. Needles are for friendlies only.

Combat revives just make death cultists who are arguably worse than zombies...

This is me: http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=165650

I am in Reganbank, and the IP limit hasn't reset yet. I'll make my way over to you guys as fast as I can.

Here's the chudleyton necronet access image:

Remember, this is the minimum zombie infestation, as many cannot be easily scanned due to brainrot.

There's a lot of dead bodies lying around...

I just hunted down and Headshot http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=1384337 in the Latrobe, still about 4 zeds in there though and I am at bingo ammo. But still, vengeance!

Almost fully loaded up with ammo and needles and FAKs. then I'll come down and help.

2 Zombies right outside Kenefie.
Use the Library next door to jump out and in.
One of them is down to about 20-30 health (Can't remember)

I rezzed Blue Dagger.

Thanks a bunch! Been so long since I tasted air.

I cleared out the Minshull Building (10,26) so we can have a backup NT facility. But, repairing it costs 4ap and that would leave me totally exposed. So, if someone has the AP, it needs repairs and re-barricading.

Front of Kenefie is clear.
Two dead bodies, both headshotted.

Will be home soon, will take a look and see if I can drop some zombies.

Grakmar wrote:I cleared out the Minshull Building (10,26) so we can have a backup NT facility.

Managed to travel down there, repair the building, close the doors, barricade up to light, and get out in 15AP. Can someone please head over here and get it up to EHB?

Got it up to HB+1. It could use some more, but it should be safe for the time being.

Killed a Zombie outside the Autoshop near Kenifie, wounded another, then brought the PD from lightly barricaded to VSB +2, not sure if folks want it to go higher.. but I'm out of ap.

Got revived and have gained construction skill, still in chudleyton with 0 Ap atm.

Hey folks, sorry I haven't been around. RL is pretty busy right now.

Could someone in the know pm me an update on what's happening as that's the best way to get in touch. I'd be very grateful thanks!

Also, anyone who's near my Dr alt please do the same. I haven't been keeping in touch and am completely oblivious to everything happening after Tompson mall was taken and probably before that. Tah!

Casey.

Zed in Minshull, place is wrecked, and I don't have the ammo to finish him off.

I got him down to 12 but I'm still a terrible shot.

Minshull is cleared but I can't repair the damage...

purplefood wrote:Minshull is cleared but I can't repair the damage...

It's been repaired and back up to VHB.

Kenefie has been breached.
5 Zombies inside, I'm currently in Harraway waiting for AP to regen but the building is only VSB...

Ah well Morathi's a goner then.. won't be home for four hours.

Odd as well, had a strange feeling about leaving her in the autoshop, as I'd had to repair up the barricades outside Kenefie twice.

She should have listened to her gut... now she'll be gnawing on them.

There's 6 in there now, cured some infections and healed one of ours, but ran out out FAKS. I'm in Cuthbert now if anyone needs moar heals.

Healed about 13 FAKs worth on people (xp cha-ching!) now how rezzing ability.

I'm out of combat skills to buy so I've started on getting some others I think will be useful.

Shopping!

Still hope for you. You had an infected bite but I healed you up. There are still 4 zeds inside but hopefully they are out of AP and you can get out before they awaken.

Kenefie's been broken in to, was attacked and grabbed while I was healing you guys.

3 Zombies left, I jumped in and shot one up a bit.

Gonna save up for scout safehouse next, so I can get gens faster. hopefully.

There's a wave of zeds heading north, I accidently intercepted them, but didn't get bit.

Cheers to both Dark and Mel for keeping me up, have put holes in one zombie, but annoyingly critically low on ammo so resorted to a few axe swings before I decided to jump to the Auto shop.

I killed two of the zombies in Kenefie, and the last one is at 4 hp, or something like that.

Kenefie is cleared. I killed the last zombie (Basically dead already) and dumped him outside.
Kenefie currently EHB with 2 randomers inside.

I'm at St. Lukes if anyone needs a revive at the cemetary PM me here and I'll hope on to give a rez. Going to bank up some AP

Kenefie is at EHB + 0. I found nothing in my search for FAKs though, so I'm still looking.

Fairly, fully loaded now. I may just head back into The Chud after my nap.

Cades were down at Kenefie again, killed the one that got in, dumped the bodies, but only had ap to get it to QSB.

In the Glastonbury Motel, it's been VSB but I could reinforce it if need be..

FITZZ, your building was broken into.

I killed the zombie and tossed up a quick barricade, but be careful, that place doesn't look safe.

Doing a bit of recon in the Mall, dropped two zombies, then reinforced the building FITZZ is in, by two levels,

He's on the List, sadly I'm on the wrong side of the Mall to help with limited ap, once I've got some pts I'll head back.

Well at least he PKs in style....

What's the closest revive point to Kenefie? I'm swaying south of club hodson.

Thanks, Pitman! I'll let my AP build back up a bit and rejoin the battle shortly.

The Death Cultists in this area are pissing me off. Though it makes me really enjoy biting other zombies to death when I do end up dead.

I just used all of my AP and ammo fighting off a zombie breech into the mall. So, I'm out of action for a while here.

But, Caiger is once again safe.

I can now actually, reliably kill Zombies when I see them. As long as I got ammo.

How's that? Your friendly neighborhood police department will take care of you.

Some donkey-cave ruined Eden Library and then 'caded it to VSB.

Mall is full of zeds with everything but SE corner barricaded above VSB. All corners are ruined.

Saw purplefood there and revived him. Off to get more needles.

Thanks boss.

Northeast corner of Caiger was cleared and repaired, shoppers!

Reckon I'll go find me a fire axe. I guess that's the best close combat weapon.

Any bored Life Cultists, please proceed to the Minshull building to tear down the cades to VSB. It has been pinata'd by Death Cultists.

Sadly ran out of ap earlier and forgot to find a safe place before I went to get the new doggie. So shes dead again.

Let me wander over and bring the Minshull building down to VSB mind, so not a total loss. Shes swaying outside.

I'm undead outside of Glastonbury.
Can I get a revive?

Six AP left, will go to glaston and get you when I get enough AP.

I did some damage to the zeds in Caiger.

Right now the one in the NE has 4 HP, and there's a couple bodies what require dumping.

Hitting a zombie out side the Harraway Building, got him down to the 38ish mark.

I'm still a zombie, will continuing life cultist actions until someone passes this way.

purplefood wrote:I'm undead outside of Glastonbury.

Ditto.

Got ya both

Outside Aspey Library, next to Kenifie PD, needing a revive. I lowered Club Hudson down to VSB, so now there are two entry points near the PD.

I can patch ya up in 4 hours :/

Mel saved her sorry rear... heh, have stumbled back into Kenifie.. going to let her build up some ap and ammo.

If someone wants to do necronet access, I scanned the zombies outside caiger and revivified a zombie noob east of harraway (a level one zombie, no human skills, so revivifying them is low risk). Ran out of AP before I could get back to harraway to to NNet access myself.

You'll be okay.

Twenty five zeds on the NE corner of Caiger for anyone with some ammo they're not otherwise using.

Chudleyton is rebuilt and quiet. If we don't feth up Zack this time, we're useless.

Caigar has been breached once again. 5 zombies inside. Plug the hole, then plug some zeds.

Alright, I am back in town... been in Seattle for days, let's make some zeds cry.

Yes! Let it rain rotten tears over Caiger!

I'm so going to beat down some zombies tomorrow. I am going to sleep with a full load of pistols.

I'm headshotting Zombies now!

We've got 32 zeds sitting on the NE corner of Caiger. The SW corner is lit so please come on by anybody who needs to shop or has an urge to murder zombies.

Aye, will pop on tonight, Morathi should be on/near 50ap by then as well, plus shes fuly loaded on ammo.

My favorite part about having those PKing pieces of garbage on my contacts is being able to pick them out of a crowd of zombies and kill them first. I dropped two zeds and built up the cades at Caiger. I'd suggest everyone else doing the same.

I tried but every time I jumped in one of them was paying attention so I couldn't stay for long.
Used my AP barricading NE Caiger instead.

Stepped outside to do some Zombie headshotting, now I can't get back in. Anybody know the entry point?

p.s. there's a hoard of 35 Zombies on the NE corner!

There was one near the glastonbury motel yesterday, not sure of its status today and can't remember exactly which building it was.

Seems no one is considering entry points down there, or we have death cultists at work.

Necrotech Mac. Where do I know this name from? Is he part of our group or a PKer?

PKer IIRC...
Could be wrong about that so don't shoot until we get a confirmation...

OK, well he's lurking just south of the mall in the Pagram Library.

Nice, vengeance is a dish best served cold and confusedly.

Dropped two Zombies, then into a building by the mall. Will probably do some shoping later if we still hold it, while we have the search bonus.

Mall has been breached once again. 4 zeds inside as of this writing.

The NE corner was open, I tried plugging the hole, but got into a live fight with a zombie outside trying to open it.

I am further East trying to find us a generator.

Killed two zombies, 1 left and NE needs cading again.

Killed 2 zombies too. Had to do it with a fire axe. Can't find ammo for the life of me. If I didn't know better I'd say the mall was out...

Got the last one in the mall, then refilled my ammo. Remember to check underneath the couch cushions!

Bromsy wrote:Got the last one in the mall, then refilled my ammo. Remember to check underneath the couch cushions!

Just aquired "Bargain Hunting" which will allow me to do just that.

And hopefully I'll get the lights back on and we can do some serious shopping.

Pretty pitched battle right now. Barricades keep getting busted down and people are getting dragged into the street. We're taking casualties here!

Cades are okay in the NE now, 3 zeds inside as a result of me killing 2 and dumping.

Dropped one zombie and wounded another, ended up in the Blackhowler arms? It was something like that anways, east side of the Mall, had to go three blocks further east to find a VSB to get back to the arms mind.

Caiger has fallen. (well, there's still more survivors than zombies but it's pretty bad). I'm outta here. Gonna head back to kenefie to reload.

Ah well, will have a look later when I get back from work. If its still boned, I'll skip across the upper floor and follow you north.

I got munched inside Caiger, and I'm at Ogilvie waiting for one of you kind folks to revive me.

Gotcha.

Please don't give up on the mall. Just fade into the surrounding buildings and keep them EHB. Then pop out to fight/revive using any ruined square on the mall as an entry point.

That's the plan, Pitman.

Thanks for the revive.

Healed you up a bit, Ehpraim, but it was still you alone against 12 Zeds in the NE.

Yes, poor planning on my part that. But I managed to set up a generator and fuel it at the neighboring NT building so that we will have a supply of needles. I suggest that all Support Team members stock up.

Also, be aware that we'll face as much trouble proportionately from Death Cultists as from the horde itself. I can confirm that the one known as "Afterbirth Smoothie," discussed before in this thread, is active in the area.

Make killing Death Cultists a priority. Chase them down and make them suffer.

Can do Manchu.
Appears the mall has been over run.

I also want to say that Club Hodson is 'caded with a Zed inside.

One has also broken into Kenefie. I built the cades back up to VSB but didn't have any FAKs to help otherwise.

Grakmar appears to be sleeping outside the Apsey Library, and there's a zombie lurking nearby. I beat on it a bit, but didn't have the AP to finish the job.

I have a feeling like last time the Mall fell, a selection of our shambling 'friends' have headed up along the trail of buildings opening them to search for the squishy prizes inside.

If this is the case, poor ole Morathi might be a zed.

Will find out when I get home in 4ish hours.

Ther was about 13 zeds outside latrobe last I saw and the lights just went out there.

Uh oh.. she might be rudely awoken...

The game isn't really about mechanical novelty.

As I said on page 1 EDIT: page 2, the game is about creating non-mechanical goals and enduring.

Caiger isn't really all that well held by the zeds. I've repaired and cleared the NW again, so we have a beachhead for a little while at least.

Necrotech Mack destroyed the generator. (4 hours and 23 minutes ago)

Kill him. KILL HIS FACE.

I'll try to replace the gen.

Nicki Minaj and Zmithy, two of the Dcultists going around are zombies in the ne corner of the mall. Shot Zmithy a few times, then pulled back for ammo.

Will add Mack to my list.

I'm in loder with a gen and fuel can. What should I replace the gen of first, the police or the hospital?

Yeah, Mack took out like 3 gennies, I tracked him down in Hodson or somewhere over there and put him down.

Vinetown is a lovely place. You should have been able to find plenty of welcome there. Chatwin Library in the NW is always VSB so easy entry to pick up medical supplies at Gelasius or guns at Goodford Road.

Stay smart, stay hidden, stay alive.

North West and Very Safe Building, yeah?

I guess I'll give it a wander tomorrow see what I can find before trying to find y'all - would be slightly counter-productive to the direction I was heading though!

I opened up Lockwood Crescent School, so that block of 5 buildings to the N is accessible again.

Note the "Please Revive!" description. I'd say we'd rather not revive this guy, who is a Dual Naturalist at best but probably a Death Cultist.

Just logged back in and I'm still alive. Success! Going to head over to Vinetown, next door, see if I can find anything and then try to mosey on over to Chudleyton.
Will probably set up an Alt too, help get some experience...

Just looked up GK'ing, Manchu, and it said some people do it "even for no good reason at all." Hmmmm?


I assume I can search in one place multiple times btw?

Also, Grakmar, you said I should join a group - are there any in particular or benefits, or are the Dakkanauts in one?

Yeah you can pour all of your AP in to searching one location if you like.

The Dakka group is called the Augarde Irregulars. The benefits of being in a group are ... well, it's what actually makes the game fun. The game has little in the way of internal goals. It's really just what you make of it, externally.

There are a few large survivor groups and zombie hordes you can join. Our group is not one of the larger ones -- although it is large enough to show up on the game's stats page. I have three characters: my survivor in Chud, in the Augarde Irregulars, and my two older characters. One is unaligned, generally working for the well being of Vinetown and the other is a member of the Ridleybank Resistance Front.

For whatever reason, the mythology has grown up over the years that Ridelybank might have been the epicenter of the infection. Many zombies therefore consider Ridelybank to be "the Homeland" and work to keep it in ruins. It's funny because the tables are really turned there. As a survivor, you're always afraid of the zombies breaking into your safehouse and killing you. In the Homeland, you're always worried that survivors ("harmanz" in zed parlance) are going to infiltrate the burb and start -- gasp -- rebuilding things. A lighted building in Ridleybank is a total affront to zedkind.

As a survivor, you band together with others to push back the crisis and preserve/rebuild pre-infection human society. Neighborhoods like Vinetown are pretty safe thanks to committed survivors who have worked there for years. ATM, you could spend the night on the streets in Vinetown for a week and probably not get killed. Of course, some horde or another will make its way through, destroying everything. And that's fun for survivors.

If either "side" (as if it were that simple) ever won the game would be terribly boring. When I started playing again, I noticed that Malton was overrun with survivors and so went zed with my highest level character. It can be fun to have a survivor and a zed alt for this reason. But you want to keep them far apart on the map. Not only is it good manners but if your alts are close together, your chances of successfully attacking or finding items goes down.

Why the name Augarde Irregulars? And why Chudleyton?

Either way, I've just joined it with my main character. I'm already a bit bored of just wandering, so I'm gonna forget Vinetown and head on over. Feel I should probably try to help, so is there anything you guys want me to try and do/obtain on the way there? Fuel or somesuch?

I'm not really interested in the whole zombie side to be honest (that said, I love being a zombie in Halo's Infection), so my alt (I'm getting in on the lingo!) is a survivor too. I guess I might see what the deal is in Ridleytown with him, whilst my main heads on over to Chudley. So they should be pretty far apart too.

In one go, my alt (a Firefighter) has killed a (already crippled, I admit) zombie, found another radio and 2 flare guns! My main character has however shot at a zombie and missed, found a pistol clip (by repeatedly searching, thanks Manchu!) and that's it...

Thanks for the info Manchu, the wiki's not very newbie-friendly I'm finding...

When some Dakkanauts first stepped up to play, I suggested we have a group goal: take and defend the Pitman Mansion in Quarlesbank. So we all convened there, only to find that the only thing going on in town was us getting PK'd by somebody who ahd already claimed the mansion. So I further suggested we head south to see some anti-zed action -- and therefore be able to earn XP to level up. I chose Chudleyton because of Caiger Mall, which is a perennial target for any and all zombie hordes, especially because the largest active horde (the Dead) is headquartered very close by. We took our name from our first meetup/base, the Auguarde Street Police Department in Quarlesbank ... hence calling ourselves the Augarde Street Irregulars. There is a vague hope that we will one day return to Quarlesbank and drive out the PKer ... but things are a little too fun in the Chud right now, what with the mall falling every month.

Please ask any and all questions you might have. There's no point trying to search through this thread now, at 67 pages.

Currently dead and just outside of Caiger...
Gonna shamble to Kenefie...

Good man. I'll get you tomorrow if we make it through the night. Zack has been knocking on the cades pretty hard all day long and yesterday night. You might do a life cultist work while your shambling.

Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but I'm a zombie, revive me maybe?

Swaying outside of Kenefie!

Four zombies outside of kenefie, three out of cuthbert. And I think we have a death cultist in a one "lovebrainsssss" guy.

Well, it's the thought that counts. Thanks man.

I put Kenefie up to HB before I fell asleep again.

The Mall is largely back up and running it seems, but there is a small break in occuring - were 5 zeds, now down to 3. One corner is lit up though if anyone wants to dash in for some quick searching.

Killed off the Zed just kinda hanging out with you guys in Kenefie.

Jumped out of Kenefie.
Shot the crap out of 2 zombies (One still standing on 8 health)
One badly hurt zombie and one full health still outside.
Kenefie is at QSB so it'll need some cading.

It took like a 100 xp but I know how to put a coach in front of a door now.

A coach?
If you've figured out how to get one of those in front of a door we're pretty much set.
No zombie could get past one of those mothers...

Oops...I mean ya, it's one of those super high-level level ups...ya, that's it...

Well Morathi finally got cornered by Zombies. Was all good though, as she had 800xp to spend. So she can now gesture, chat, and beat up other zombies much more efficiently.

Also she got raised by a passer by so she's holed up back in Chuds, ready for her next combat.

Heh. Lots of Fallout 3 references in Shackleville; mentions of Boomers and Talon Company.

I've now got a Crowbar (and a Fireaxe), so I feel I should've named my guy after Gordon Freeman, rather than Adam Jensen...

I've still got no XP(!), but I have 2 Cubist Sculptures. So, I might not be able to contribute anything useful to Chudleyton, but I could spruce the place up a bit!

Do you still have an alt in Vinetown?

Nearby, yeah. He's actually been chopping up Zombehs quite good...

Could you pop into Gelasius and let people know that there's been big trouble in Pegton to the north, with several hospitals and police station ruined and Rowcliffe under siege. Tell them Lawrence Healy sent you.

Can do. My alt's in Greentown, so I'll head him over there when his AP restores?

Manchu wrote:Could you pop into Gelasius and let people know that there's been big trouble in Pegton to the north, with several hospitals and police station ruined and Rowcliffe under siege. Tell them Lawrence Healy sent you.

Yeah... Rowcliffe is just rubble, it's not under siege. And, the message shouldn't be "come to Pegton to help defend", it should be "stock up on needles, cuz we're all gonna die soon"

And, there's a gathering at Gelasius? Very interesting...

Rowcliffe was safe and lighted just a half hour ago ...

Also, stay out of Vinetown.

Manchu wrote:Rowcliffe was safe and lighted just a half hour ago ...

I'm not there, but I can see it from where I am. It's ruined.

Manchu wrote:Also, stay out of Vinetown.

Hey, I don't make the plans. I just break stuff and eat people.

In other news, while you're partying, harmanz are building stuff up in the Homeland. I've been banging buildings for months with little to no help.

Howard Library's been Piñata'd.

Cuthbert also needs a Gennie.

Heh. Just hot-footed it over to Gelasius like you asked Manchu, and the place is extremely heavily barricaded so I can't get in!

I replaced Cuthbert General Hospital's generator, fueled it up, repaired the hospital, and then caded it up to I think EHB.

You're welcome.

You're a star Mel.

On a side note, where do folks keep getting these gennies from, I am guessing I'm looking in the wrong stores, locals.

Just wondering for future ref, or do I just have really bad luck nosing around garages.

And... My alt' got killed trying to get to deliver the warning to Gelasius as he couldn't get into Gelasius or nearby buildings, ran out of AP and then got nom'ed.

I find that making the run to Calvert Mall in Gatcomedon is actually more efficient than trying to search for weapons in Kenefie PD.

Maybe it's just my horrible search rolls, though.

Generators can be found in:

1) Power Stations (but there aren't any near us)
2) Fort Storehouses (but there isn't any near us, and they're almost always overrun with zombies)
3) Mall Hardware Stores (best choice if the mall is standing, but no fuel can be found here)
4) Factories (there's 2 nearby, and you can also find fuel here)

Auto Repair Shops have fuel, but no gennies.

Ah will remember to case out the odd Factory. Cheers.

Kenefie has been breached. 5 zombies inside.

My scientist is searching for another replacement generator and fuel can.

Meanwhile on the other side of the map, Treweeke Mall is just freaking wrecked . Dozens of zombies inside and out. My cop thankfully wasn't in there when it was breached, but she did pass through.

Got one Kenefie Zombie. Now I'm gonna take a nap...

Healed all but one person in Kenefie of Infection and brought one of the Zeds to 14.

Will be back on 10.30pm ish, if Morathi is still breathing, should have 50ap and plenty of ammo to help with Zombies.

Swaying one block south of Kenefie, if someone would be so kind.

I was apparently one of the "lucky" ones in the Kenefie breach.

If someone has a spare needle, I'm at the cemetery under St Lukes.

I have one, will stick you when I get more AP. By the way, I have a gen and fuel can whenever you guys finish cleaning up kenefie.

There are seven zombies in Kenefie right now.

Zed broke into Cuthbert and destroyed the Genny. Dropped it, dumped outside and re-cade'd to VSB.

Kenefie is still popped by 4 zeds. LBed. I am outta ammo for both shotgun and pistol. Is the mall still open or shut?

Blue Dagger revived me so don't waste AP looking for me Melissia.

Yeah. Survival is pretty easy. I'm considering turning my Dualist alt into a pure Death Cultist.

I can't believe the audacity of survivors in Ridleybank. Every time I turn around, another building has been repaired a recaded. And there doesn't seem to be many of us shambling around the Homeland to do anything about it.

Think I'll be sending Lurgar that way shortly. I skipped off the edge of Ridleybank a few weeks back, but he's back down towards the south at the mo.

He's got to the point I've taken a lot of Survivor abilities so he can get in some Death Cultist action. Just trying to grab him a shotgun and then the gloves are off.

Bah to Death Cultists! Barhah to the Undead!

Hehe, well aye, I'll be a zombie more, I think I might go after folks that res me with guns.

Once I have all Zombie skills, I'll take the brain rot one anyways, cermenting the lad to a future among the undead.

Aaaaaand I've made it to Chudleyton! What's crackin'?

Aaaaaand I've got nothing of use to provide, very little XP and little knowledge of Urban Dead...

I do however have 4 first aid kits if someone needs healing and 2 cubist sculptures if places want sprucing up.

Bodies with pulses are in short supply in the area, if nowhere else. You might lend a hand over at Kenefie.

OK, I'll head over when my AP recharges.

8 Zambah's in Cuthbert General, 2 nearby.

Scratch that, an additional 7 nearby, so 9 total and the 8 in the hospital.

Ok, they're just playing with us now in Cuthbert. They busted in, destroyed our Genny, and left.

We re-cade, they bust it down but don't do anything else.

Morathi has a genny, but with the zombie activitiy I'm not sure where to put it. She's holed up in the Library I think atm, next to kenefie.

I always try to repair, but my cop is over in the northeast corner, rather than in Ridleybank.

My zed couldn't care less what happens outside of the greater Ridleybank area.

17 Zombies outside Cuthbert...
It'll probably fall fairly soon if we don't cut down on the number of zombies out there...

It's breached.

But don't worry about anything except getting clear.

This is a matter of River Tactics.

Coordination? Bah. It's the (never ending) apocalypse, mate.

Here's what we do -- just withdraw north to Judgewood. If Zack comes up, we go back south to the Chud.

Sounds good to me.

Just logged back in and my guy is dead, surrounded by 6 Zombies and 8 dead bodies! What did I miss?!
Thanks to a Big Humongous if any of you are him though; he tried to heal me mid-way through being clawed to death it seems...

So where should I go for a revive?

I popped in, rezzed 2 zombies, fixed up the cade, and high tailed it out. William Briar, you need to ruuuuuunnnnn

You attack the zombie for 3 damage. They drop to 45 HP.

Need someone to get the last one in cuthbert, and then dump the bodies and rebuild.... I ddi my best...

They also tried to make Cuthbert into a Pinata, "woke" up with 4 other Zeds barricaded in. Brought them down.

Yes, rmemeber kids, dump the goddamned bodies.

I have a gen and fuel in cuthbert, just need two AP so I can deploy them.

And it's done. Now Kenefie needs its gen still.

Already GK'd. One zed left there, at 20 some HP.

Killed the zombie in Cuthbert and barricaded it to VHB.

Combat revving is never the answer. Where are you atm?

It's an answer if it prevents noob zombies from doing as much damage.

I'm south of st lukes

Noob zombies aren't exactly prevalent...

Melissia wrote:It's an answer if it prevents noob zombies from doing as much damage.

Needles take too much AP to find and use to waste them on the enemy. Think of your comrades first.

Gotcha, btw.

Well yes, I am using them on allies first. But needles are easy to get. I have had extra needles for over a month.

Combat revving also makes enemies and encourages death cultists.

Yeah Death Cultists is the biggest problem I have with it...

That's only really a problem if you target enemies that have free running.

Most of them probably would.
Also you can't really choose who to target unless they're on your contacts list...

In any case, it's up to your conscience and the circumstances. I feel obligated to point out that combat revving is first and foremost a dumb and wasteful action whenever the issue comes up. Whether it has a worthwhile application in extremely particular circumstances is beside the point.

Who relies on their conscience to play a game?

My dear purplefood, the whole world is one kingdom and conscience is king.

Well then...
The king died a while ago and since then everything has either spontaneously exploded or burst into flames...
I consider myself somewhat of a moral person but in video games i tend to just try to kill as many people as i possibly can... allies included.
Same with tabletop gaming actually...

I try not to waste my time no matter what I'm doing, including playing games.

Well i find the best way to not waste time is to simply rinse everyone on sight. I end up doing it anyway and this way i don't have to listen to them whine about stuff...

"Rinse" lol.

Even so, you're on a team partner! Rinse Zack. All survivors are our brothers and sisters.

This is a zombie apocalypse. If i rinse you guys i get nommed on by our decomposing neighbours...
It would be less than beneficial to my health...

Dude, that kind of thinking means Zack wins. When we're down to only cooperating because it's in our individual best interest then society has truly crumbled. (This is the IRL problem in the USA with libertarians, by the way ... I guess that explains why zombie stuff is so popular here.) Zack may tear down our cades and ruin our buildings -- but Zack can never be allowed to tear down our ethics and ruin our spirits!

The only ethics that should come with spirits are the ones that stop people from putting anti-freeze in the spirits...
It's not that i want you guys to die. I just really don't want me to die. I'll take a few hits for the team and all but i dislike getting nommed on in the worst way.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Incidentally, what kind of contact are we having with other survivor groups?

Just cooperation. No formal alliances or the like. We aren't a top-down hierarchy. We don't have or need a leader. Other groups are really into that sort of thing -- negotiating alliances and managing other players ... can be tiresome.

Just checking, some groups tend to get a bit...
Pushy... followed by shooty...

Where is everyone?

St Luke's although I'll soon be off for more needles unless a request for revive comes in before tomorrow.

In the depths of his conscience, man detects a law which he does not impose upon himself, but which holds him to obedience. Always summoning him to love good and avoid evil, the voice of conscience when necessary speaks to his heart: do this, shun that. For man has in his heart a law written by God; to obey it is the very dignity of man; according to it he will be judged.

I'd wager that we wouldn't have quite as many death cultists wrecking generators if we weren't combat rezzing them, since it's much easier to get into buildings using free running than chewing through barricades.

Just putting that out there.

Got dragged out of Cuthbert and eaten. Wandering around Ivens Park or something now.
