Die2night, its a zombie game with a difference, start in a town, scavenge resources and build defenses, a house and so forth. Very fun game with a very addictive appeal.

More rpg than action, but also very tactical.

Well, I'm game.

As weird as it is, I dislike web-based text games even though I like single player ones...

I will give this one a go when I get home.

Signed up, seems to be a decent text based

I'm playing as SilverMK2 - I live in the cheery town of "Mound of forgotten souls"

I'm in "Savage Chambers".

Some git stole my doggy bag :(

Put a complaint on him.
SHUN THE NON-BELIEVER!

I'm doing quite well for a first game. I've got a town who is really working well together.

Fancy joining my coalition?

Sure.
I survived night 1.
Yippee.

I need to know your username then

Also, this is my town: http://die2nite.hoah.org/h.k (think that will work).

I'm Wolfun on there, too.

http://die2nite.hoah.org/KDr < our little town.

EDIT:

Damn, you better get some defence up! The calculator says you currently have an 82% chance of surviving tonight a minimum attack, but only a 39% of a maximum attack!

Yeah, I know... my town is a bit rubbish

Just signed up as Iustis.

My town will die 2 nite.

Half of them haven't done anything since day one, and we've got a wave of 100-150 zeds tonight.

Already had the first death in the town happen. Day one isn't even over and the guy joined at roughly the same time as me.

Must have wandered into a zombie filled area or something

Probably, but there's this one guy who must be a badass cause he's aways in one of those red squares on the map at the town gates.

Just made an alt to make a coalition with the guys I met in this town.
He is now seriously wounded.

I took one step outside to the east, and ran into a horde of 6 zombies. Killed four of them, went north - and promptly ran into another horde. Now I'm out of AP with him. xD

I've signed up.

Haven't really done much. Just scaveging in the desert.

My towm is called: The Crazy Hamlet.

I'd love to know how I can attak these zombies in the desert. I can find an option that doesn't require being a hero.

You can't unless you have a weapon Viking.
Also, no real point. Killing Zombies doesn't reduce the number of zombies attacking the town tonight. Save the weapons until you find an abandoned building or something (where you can get better items).

I thought you could but the chance for it is so bad you might as well just kill yourself.

That's if you get trapped, I believe. That's the only time I got the option to attack.
Then I killed 4 in quick succession. So I don't think it's 10% like the Wiki says. More like 50% (either that or I was just damn lucky).

I have one more spot in my coalition if you want to join (just post your username and I will invite you).

We are currently planning on all suiciding in the next day (assuming that we make it through today) so we can all play in the same town.

Now, some handy links that I think people might find helpful:

First, go into your soul page > settings

Then allow external applications. This should give you a long identification number that can be used in several applications which will help you with the game.

First handy link:
The Wiki - lots of helpful information

Second handy link:
Large town map - helps to see what stuff is around. Helps if you bookmark the site once you have your town map, so then you don't have to keep on getting the code from the soul page every time you want to look at the map.

Third handy link:
Video "diary" of how one of the more successful towns in the game progressed

General information:
Every morning remember to get your water ration from the well.

When planning trips - remember you can take food with you, and if available some alcohol and also water. Each will allow you to refill 6 AP per day (and 6AP every two days in the case of alcohol). Some drugs will also refill AP but will (so I understand) cause problems so they are a last resort.

If someone dies in the night, you can steal 1 item a day, so try and get something useful. Remember to unpack your welcome gift and doggy bag when you first arrive in a town and put the stuff from the welcome pack in the bank.

Ah okay then. I just got into a zone where there was a player and 3 zombies. It was 6 minutes until he got attacked . I got some useful stuff and wanted to kill of a zombie so this guy would survive.

If he doesn't get online within the next auto-search I'm leaving him to get eaten.

I believe the maximum size is 5 people.

Sounds odd, but it makes sense with how they all follow to a town as it would make it easier I guess.

Plus, if you had a coalition of 40 people you knew, you'd be pretty unstoppable, I imagine.

That is a good point.

Shame there isn't a distinction between like a freinds list and coalitions.

True, but imagine the power rush if you could visit other towns. Private army go.

apparently, you can only drink once a day.

I'm stuck and nobdy wants to help me. Oh well, time to splatter zombie skulls before
i die2night.

I found out attacking Zombies uses AP.
I'm going to die2nite, too.

My town is crap. So I am probably going to die2nite too

Atleast there is a high % chance that the Dakkites will start together this time!

lolz, DD for the winz....

Half my townies are outside.

Knowing my luck I'm going to die2nite. (about 24 mins to attack guise!)

If we don't all die tonight (for whatever reason), donate all your stuff to your next town and walk out into the wastes and we will then all be together in the next night

8 mins....

I can hear them coming.....So cold....

I'm searching the wrecked cars with you

SilverMK2 wrote:I'm searching the wrecked cars with you

, i'm gonna sit in it. And make engine noises.

So no one shut the gates to my town. >_>


But I didn't die. I was actually attack but it said I managed to fight them off. 6 were still outside, 16 died from the zombies. There were 39 to begin with. So day 2, 23 deaths.


Turns out they were shut, but someone came up late and needed the gate opened. Some guy opened it for him, but never closed it. They both died anyway because of the stupidity along with 14 others.

Ok, it seems all dying and going to the same town is a bit harder than we expected.

Do people still want to try and get together, or just leave it up to fate?

Might as well keep trying, but I'm out of AP again today.

Depending on how many "super smart" people are left after their great defensive plan yesterday, today might be the last day of the town.

http://die2nite.hoah.org/WKa

Edit: What happens when you die? I remember reading it saying it takes available members with you. On the page Doctor is marked in the available section so if it doesn't automatically take you there we can wait until we are all dead next time then go to a new town at the same time.

Basically when you die, you go into limbo until you next log in. Then you can write your last words and can then go into your next town.

So if we all "move on" at the same time then hopefully we should all be able to get into the same town, assuming that there is a nice empty town waiting for us.

I don't know if after a set amount of time you will automatically "respawn" in a town or not though.

The town I am in at the moment seems to have a few decent players in it so I am going to try and learn how to play from them before moving on I think.

I walked myself out into a horde (6) of zombies. 4 hours till death.

Score!

VikingScott wrote:I walked myself out into a horde (6) of zombies. 4 hours till death.

Haha, I did that, but someone walked in to. So I walked off and left him. >w>

Yeah I'm out of ap and am watered and fed.

Doing the same

I have a terrible town now. We have 29 defence, and our predicted attack is like 30-40.

Two griefers have already been shunned. But everyone seems to be out for themselves. D=

30 mins to next assault, still five people in the wasteland.....

I'm still sat in the wasteland

I survived only 5 deaths, so far so good.

Went outside, first square -----> 3 zeds and i'm stuck.

Great way to start a new day. *sigh*

I'm in a new town. Not much happened. Got some ego freaks though. They both think they should be in charge it seems.

Now you should play them out against each other. And when they least expect it, you usurp them.
And then send them to the gallows

Just died, I suppose no one shut the gates.

Now to leave it to sit until team Dakka is ready to go?

Sillyboy and I are still alive. Vikingscott has already joined a town according to my soul page, and the rest of the people I know of have joined towns as well.

You may as well "relife" now. As I mentioned, the town Sillyboy and I are in seems to be quite good, so we are trying to learn how to play before suiciding. to try and make dakkatown.

So this new town is fun.
Zombies already on all sides of it except for one square where everyone is currently camping for resources,

Oh dear

Don't worry Silver, I have no AP and a tent. Time to just ride it out.

That sounds like you're gonna last a long time

Day one and this town already has worshop completed. and a watchtower. And great wall. Boom.

Edit. Haven't got great wall. My mistake,

I'm hoping they don't come up with any genius plans like the last town. Corpses around the place because no one shut the gate. Brilliant idea time, everyone leave them because they're easier to loot this way.

Oh come on guys... Having me around because nobody shut the gate isn't that bad is it?

Ah crap.
I'm 1AP away from the gates, but am out of AP, eaten, hydrated and drunk.

Fook.

Ask on the forum for drugs/booze.

Do drugs, you won't regret it..... -shifty eyes-

Addiction kills.

Between 73 and 79 zeds tonight, nothing we can't handle (even if its just the second day).

Just hung a greifer that suddenly started hoarding all our defences.

Started out as they closed the gate early and only two people had ap to open and close them.

then I checked their sould and found 47 thefts, 2 hangings and 2 banishments. Stuff spirialled from there.

isn't it better to ban? Hanging uses resources.

The gallows was already built. Which was random.

No one owned up to building it.

lolz, the only thing built here without anyone saying anything was the portal lock.

Our town seems like its going to be there for some time.

Same here. End of day 1 we have: Workshop, Search tower, (had a gallows), watchtower, portal lock and great wall.

I was going to say what we got at day two, but the zeds have taken the site down.

There should only die 1 person tonight, he wants to commit suicide.

We'll have 2. Both are outside.

yea, the only thing you can do is wait. they've could at least kept the main forum. So you've got something to do while waiting.

I'm back on. Sillyboy - would you mind bringing me some food from the town? I want to go see what was replenished in the north but I forgot to pick some up when I left.

I am 2 north of the town.

Ah, don't worry, seen you went the other way already

and there's no food in town.

I checked before i left, only got meds left for extra ap.

but apparently we can grow food later.

Well, I started a new town, and we already have shunned one griefer.

Let's hope this goes better than the last town I was in.

It is possible to grow food.

And greifers suck.

Hang 'em high.

New town ended up alright I guess. Members of the Dakka coalition will know about our great rescue team and how there is now less than 75% of the total town left.

Despite that we managed to get the watchtower and workshop up and survived the night. Only problem is the current watchtower estimate says we're going to be hit by a 110-115 horde tonight. We've managed to get the defense up to 35 but I'm not sure it will work. There are still some that need to build a tent. The guy who seems to be running or organising the masses seems to know what he's talking about so it's not all that bad.

Your town sounds both stupid and screwed

It was funny to watch the rescue happen over the forum but I stopped watching after the fifth as it started to become a little depressing.

"O hai guize stuck with 3 zombies"
"omw"
10 mins later
"I got trapped by 5 zombies on the way"
"don't worry guys I've got enough ap to make it to one then you can continue onto the first"
*trapped about 30 mins later*

Eventually they had an actual plan which sounded "solid".
Guy E would walk up and rescue C who would go onto rescue B as E rescued D then D would rescue A and they'd be back home and safe. Meanwhile I'm sitting in my tent with a chicken laughing at them.

Once again I had the mysterious guy who vanished somewhere and died really early into the day.

I had to read that story twice when I first heard it. It made me laugh hard.

I laughed too. xD

five people are dying tonight. one has enough ap, to get back in. Let see if they're going to risk it. (i've got no ap left)

We're like 2 off the max zombies... So, we might have a few deaths.
One griefer/spammer is locked outside (woot!).

What is the max?

40 for us, tonight. We only have 38 defence (I was about to put a torch in the bank, which is typical).

We have like 8 idle users this time, though. xwX

Dunno, but they aay that at day 6 there are between 350 and 550 zeds. So they increase the waves size everyday?

At the 24+ day, there's 2000-3000+ zombies.

I think in one of the online vids, it's up to 4000+

8 people died, some inactive players that didn't drink died of thirst.

Got killed and someone took my manbag.

Despite the defense of around 40ish 86 zombies broke through.

Bad zombies!!

How's your new village?

Currently sitting in the available section so I'll automatically join which ever Dakka member dies next.

Last town was unreliable at best, but always funny. I just realised I didn't share the story of the second rescue.

Some guy got trapped at the edge, no weapons and locked in a stalemate with the four zombies there. I decide why the hell not and go there to help out, I also have no weapons but I balanced the control out and turned it into a stand off. Finally after two hours of waiting the help I requested arrived. Just one guy, with a washing machine. He proceeded to crush two by throwing it, then turned and said "This area has been cleared citizens" before walking off. Before leaving I decide to search and find a manbag straight away and throw the discarded washing machine inside. Thus we led the town's first successful rescue attempt with way less time and effort (this one took two hours and the other took over 12 and got 10 people killed ).

Coalitions need to be bigger than they are at the moment though.

The bad luck of that town might have been because there was a building that was actually touching the town at the diagonal top left.

n0t_u wrote:Coalitions need to be bigger than they are at the moment though.

Actually, coalitions can be bigger than they are... Sort of.

My town suck, and I want to be with one of you guys.
*opens the gates*

COME IN ZOMBEHS

=o you killed your mates.

I had no friends there.
We had like 8 inactive people, and then we've got people building random crap (it took use till day 2 till build just the watchtower), because everyone was out for themselves.

Indeed, hopefully we have better luck further out

Probably off to the north-east more likely. More space with less zombies. Although it would also probably be a nice idea to thin out the numbers around town. But, we need weapons for that.

It seems the title of the game is well chosen.

Well, it's midnight, and my town is soooooo dead.

I'm guessing 1 and maybe some inactives dying of thirst.

We lost 12 members tonight. .w.

Gonna have approx between 160-200 zombies tonight.

Might not die of thrist after all.

If your lucky, the zeds may ignore you.

Looks like the town Wolf, DA and I are in will probably die in the next attack. The estimated minimum is roughly 100 over our defense.

I also hate that drunk filter so much.

Think I might stop playing this game - just not enough to do each day.

Getting a bit bored.

my town now is plantation of monkeys

Nice.

My new town is Well of Fleas, now famous for the Portal Lock built not even 5 hours into it's existence.

Wooot!!! Go portal lock!!!

Good news everyone. We preserved the Portal Lock by not closing the gates last night ensuring it will last for a very long time.

This town just gets better and better. It's down to me and some other guy now. Day 3, we have the watchtower and the portal lock but the gates have never been closed for the attack. It also has the awesome defense of 15 so I doubt it would do much anyway if they were.

Just signed up.

Everyone left town...
