I just started, 2 or 3 ago, all I know is I've been wandering arond close to my "safe house" ( which is a police station), I'm out of bullets and I haven't even killed a sigle zombie...bashed one up with a crowbar though.

Grakmar's hideout was ambushed last night, and his brain is apparently rather tasty. When I stumbled out onto the street, there's zombies absolutely everywhere. It appears I wasn't able to avoid the horde.

So, I'm still on my way, but it may be a while as I have to shuffle along now. (And, it doesn't help that people seem to want to combat rez me, when just results in me being chewed on again. I'm really starting to hate combat rezzers.)

Right, two days of hell over with, I've made a new Survivor Character
Rulf Roofwalker. Scout. I've made it as far as the Mall in Gatcombeton, sleeping there right now. Might stock up on a few first aid kits before I make a run for the mansion.

@FITZZ: Don't despair! Converge with the other Dakkanauts for more effective play.

@Grakmar: Combat rezzing is a sore temptation for all survivors and low-level survivors tend to think of it as paying 10AP for 100% kill chance. It's interesting to think about why this doesn't have the same social disapprobation as PKing.

@Da Boss: Best bet is to move onto a powered hospital if you want FAKs.

Should we form a group?

Suggested names: DakkaDakka, Dakka Survivors, Dakka Zombie Hunters...

Eh .. I'd rather not make it about Dakka. Whatever the group is called should related to what the group does in UD. So that's the real question: what do we want to do?

@ Manchu

Have been trying to make contact with other Dakkanauts in the game utilizing radio/transmitor....so far...zip.
I don't have any idea where others from Dakka are at...nor much of an idea as to where I am ...sad huh?
But...I will continue in my search...oh BTW my character name is Trisha Creed....just in case any of you fellows see that name wandering about.

Oh...and my sugestion for "Team Dakka" name.....Johnny Crosshair and the Headshots.

@FITZZ

You only use a radio when you aren't talking to anyone in particular. If you want to hook up with other Dakkanauts, read this thread in the context of the wiki. Folks have been posting their movements pretty well here.

And here's an interactive map for you, which should give you your bearings pretty quickly:

http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Suburb

Dakkanauts have been moving towards Quarlesbank in the NW. The eventual target is to meet up and work together in that neighborhood, especially in and around Pitman Mansion. some Dakkanauts have already made it inside. Those without "Free Running" will have to level up before getting inside (i.e., earning 150XP by tagging, killing, healing, etc) to buy that skill -- OR wait until, for whatever reason, the barricades start to come down.

@Everyone:

Question is still up for discussion here: what will Dakkanauts do in UD?

Thanks Manchu...that info should help.

Secure Pitman and investigate possible rumours of the source of the infection...

You mean infection?

I'll be upfront with you -- that would mean reading fanfiction.

I think we should base ourselves around keeping the suburb entirely intact to preserve records of pre-infection events, so that we can "investigate" the source of the infection. I mean, in actuality, we're just another "hold ground" survivor group. But I guess, we could dedicate ourselves to knowledge in general, holding NTs, Libraries and Schools.

Or whatever. I'm down with any goal, but survivordom is generally about holding a position.

And cheers for the reminder, I forgot about the search percentages.

I can do that...
I expect it to be rubbish anyway so if it's good then i'm happy

Morathi collapsed in the warehouse alongside the Mansion, hopefully she'll be still mortal next time I log.

Bloody hate zombies, now my only now zombie character is in the centre of the map, oh well maybe they'll be revived when i log back on.

Allright, back in the Mansion, it looks like it's full EHB, ran out of moves before I could check NW. I see biccat in here. Got a bunch of shotguns, but no pistol and not a lot of ammo. Gonna head back to the PD to scrounge some more - my foray outside to wail on zombies with my axe did not meet with much success.

And welcome to the clubhouse MDS

Hehe, aye cheers.

Yep, at Mansion, read my books, and drank some wine, now waiting for my AP's to refill, so I can have a scavenge out in the area around the Mansion.

Still stuck in Santlerville. Working my way NW but I got ambushed by a PKer. Had to hole up and waste a day scrounging for FAKs.

I'm up around North Blythville. Nicks the same as here. Working my way up to the mansion, and trying to get XP on the way (I killed a zed on the way up).

Well you have your first example from me last page. So you can judge from there.

I liked that actually...

Just reached the Mansion, anyone who can't get in should go into Duggan auto repair next toit if they're running low on AP and need to hide for a bit...

In duggan auto atm, btw everyone should write down what their names are, so we know.

Mine are:
Johnnom1
Johnnom2

this is because i accidently made two guys, lol.

Bromsie - went and picked up 7 or 8 FAKs from the hospital - also, I don't know how strongly they enforce it these days, but you might not want to have yer two dudes together.

K thanks for the heads up.

BTW, Biccat, thanks for refilling our generator at Duggan's!

Spent my day running over to the library, grabbed a bag full of books and hoofed it back to Duggan's to read.

NP. Unless there are people to heal, zombies to revivify, or barricades to build up, I don't have much to do.

Had to dump a bunch of pistols simply because I was overburdened.

...never did get to my combat character last night, he's got like 8 clips and three fully-loaded shotguns. Time to go zombie huntin'!

I'd recommend patrolling Shuttlebank and West Boundwood if you want to earn some XP that way.

Scratch that -- They actually look pretty safe today. Boorman Way PD in Gatecombeton has a few rotters on the stoop, however.

Central Shuttlebank looks like it just got hit, a lot of ferals.

Got stranded outside just now in the northern edge of Shuttlebank. Expect to be food soon.

I'm looking at this map and don't see Pitman.

http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Suburb

Are my eyeballs failing, or what?

That's a map of the suburbs. You have to click on a suburb name to zoom into that map of that particular suburb.

Click on Quarlesbank.

Thanks buddy.

So to get there from Wykewood I'd have to journey for a few days. How important is it to finish up inside of your safehouse? And does setting your safehouse in a new location give you the same benefit as your original one?
