I'm dead, need a rez. I might have to combat rez those zombones if I find newbies in them, to slow them down.

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...

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.

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.

What is that?

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.

What's going on? We're libertarians now?

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

Because there's no chain of command in a group with only fourteen members?
