Is there some way to get into a building that's barricaded?

Very Strongly Barricaded is the best you can get and still be able to enter from the street.
If you have free-running you can enter from an adjacent building no matter its status.

Hate EHB buildings, piss me off.

Perhaps we should all relist our character names and have Manchu put them in the first post so we all know who's who?

Also are we starting an official group or not?

My character name is Doctadeth. I'll be hitting a cemetery up near the mansion if I can.

I might as well try playing this seriously. Where should I try to get to to be with other dakkanauts?

We're gathering at Pitman Mansion.

I was addicted to this game years ago, but I don't play anymore.

My username was Bossk the Gecko. I just PKed noobs until I got bored. I'll see if I can find my old "Rogue's Gallery" page, lol.

What town? I'm in Gulsonside.

The Hand to Hand skill gives a 15% hit bonus on ALL melee weapons. This means I now have a 40% hit chance with my fire axe, and since my objective is to kill zambies and not hide like a little girl, this is the better skill.

For someone trying to survive, I am sure Free Running is better, but it's important that you know that Hand to Hand doesn't just increase punch hit chance.

Quarlesbank.

7 Suburbs north, 6 West of Gulsonside.

Managed to make it to roftwood before going to sleep. Got inside a building though.

How long till I get more action points?

1 every half hour.

I found a shotgun and a flaregun. Now all I need is shotgun ammo...

Managed to find my way to Pimbank, trying to avoid the neighboring zombie infested Ridleybank.

Going through Randallbank, Shearbank, Brooke Hills, Shuttlebank, then finally Quarlesbank to meet up with you guys. Will probably take a few days.

I do have a mobile phone now.

Well, the mansion looks pretty safe. I think we need a plan other than "Sit in the mansion" but it can probably wait a few days, til everyone gets here.

New players need a job to do, to earn XP.

What jobs are there?

My char's name is the same as my forum name.

Also waht should I tune my radio to?

"This is a portable radio that can be tuned to receive (but not send) local broadcasts between 25.90 and 29.00 MHz."

I'm the zombie at the Cemetary RP at 2,25. Not sure if I am infected or not. needing a revive.

Melissa: Three main jobs, really:
-Barricading. This is something everyone can do, building barricades so that zombies don't get in and eat our brains. However it is only really needed in siege situations, and the current zombie pop of Quarlesbank is low.
-Reviving. For this you need some Scientist Skills, but it allows you to turn zombies back into survivors for 10AP using a necrotech syringe.Needs a big investment of XP to get started and AP expensive and not too great for XP, but vital.
-Healing. Pick up Diagnosis and you can see who needs healing. Scrounge for first aid kids and you can gain a fair bit of XP by helping the wounded. The problem is gaining enough XP to get to diagnosis, and the need to hang around near dangerous locations to find wounded people.

I'm not including the fourth job most survivors do (killing zombies). It's a good way to gain XP if you have the skills, but it's a bit of a waste outside of an actual building breach situation. Killing a zombie usually just means he bounces back to his feet for 1 or 10AP, full health, and keeps on trucking. You need to be able to kill them in a seige, if you want to hold ground, but you can always leg it, and then come back after the horde has passed and rebuild. For that reason I don't particularly focus on firearm or hth skills too much. It is an okay way for starting players to level into the more useful skills, however, as killing zombies is the most efficient way to earn XP.

Warning to those in the mansion: LimoSho just killed me for no reason. Watch out.

Man, killing new players is really bad form. We'll have to see about stopping her getting revives in the locality, but there's a lot of ways around that.

Killing new players is how new zombies gain xp.

It's part of the game.

She's a human, and shot me with her pistol over and over again.

I think there was a warning about LimoSho on one of the walls in the mansion.

Whats standard form in this case, all attack her next time we log?

I think it's kill the playerkiller and try to revivify the playerkilled, but I'm a newbie so what do I know...

Moving towards Wykewood then on to Quarellsbank ..

You can actually take out a bounty on her.

On the 27,5 cemetary, waiting for a needle

Hey Fitzz, you wouldn't happen to be able to revive me when you get to Wykewood, would you? Zack got into my safehouse. :(

Also, can someone nudge me in the direction of something that I can read that will tell me what the different Zombie words mean, if anything?

I don't understand the stigma towards PKing. Urban Dead was supposed to be a Zombie Apocalypse game and almost all Zombie films have humans fighting each other for safehouses and resources or just over petty insults and disputes. Look at Dawn of the Dead (original, not remake); it wasn't the zombies that brought the mall down, but the Biker gang.

And I also dislike Mrh Cows. When I'm a zombie, I act as a zombie would. And when I'm a survivor, I act as a survivor would. Selfish and cruel. The game doesn't work if everyone just waits at revive points.

So, I'm in quarellsbank now, and I've been having a hell of a time finding a gun (or a fireaxe). I've been searching PDs and Fire Stations on my entire trip from Santlerville. I have 4-5 FAKs, probably 7 pistol clips and several shotgun shells as well as flare guns, binos, and tons of other stuff. So that's frustrating.

Having a hard time getting XP. As a scout, I suck at killing zeds, but I don't have the XP to purchase Diagnosis. Is everyone gathering in the mansion? If so, maybe we could have people speak up here if they need healing.

PS - username is Majornom.

Because it makes new player snot want to play the game.

The game is dying.
