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.

Just remember that second accounts are not allowed by the game rules - it is plastered all over the site's wiki/rules

It is?
Ah well.

I'll say it's my girlfriends. xD

EDIT: Deleted Alt. No point in getting my first account banned.

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.
