A radio is fun to have, and bullets and guns aren't a bad thing to be carrying if you get revived. If you can find a fire axe I think you'll be pleased with its versatility.

A few items like Flak Jackets and radios are still useful as a zombie. Weapons and first aid kits come in handy while you are in human mode and you will find yourself regularly switching back and forth because the humans use revivification as a quick way to thin our numbers.


Who is MynameisR?

He is standing at Gelasius. He has no group ID.

Seems like it. Flak jackets and radios seem more help than say weapons since you can still use them dead.

Sweet; I've got a radio & a fire axe.

I do believe we have just had the beat down put on us.

I'm in and at Crowbank. So should be joining you tomorrow....if I get 1 AP every 30 min

In fact I think I'm on Alb's 6 - hipsters must die in all their forms.

Shotgun update: down 2 to 9.

Find a multi storey building (tower plus some others) and choose the jump from window option. It will ask if you sure, then it turns you into a Zed.

Group changed to The Nurglings now, still pounding hospital baricades.

I'm in Pegton at the moment. Some (un)rotten bastard killed me!

Rather than jump out of a window, would it be better to let our friendly zombies kill me for the exp?

EDIT: Also, I'm in Vinetown now. What's the plan?

From my noobish assessment. It seems like they have battend down the hatches and loaded up with defenders.

Is it worth taking a risk. Relocating a block or 2 away, and taking down say the cinema? They won't immediately know where we've gone, and with any luck we will be inside before they can react. Rather than play to their strengths, by throwing ourselves against the barracades, make them play to ours and wreck some outer areas.

Perhaps the cathedral or the mall. Once were in were past the barracades and the remaining 3 sectors should fall quickly as we can walk inside.
Plus were in striking distance of police stations, hospitals etc.

We are moving to Shyar Cinema, west of the Gelasius Hospital. It may have fewer defenders.

Jihadin, I added you to my contact list and will add you to the master list in this thread's original post. Please modify your group name to "The Nurglings". Right now the game considers you to be part of a separate group.

Outside the cinema....24 HP left and no AP at the moment lol...some zombie in the building though....name change complete for group

edit
Um...the cinema barricaded from the inside.....let me in......want to save whats left of my semi pearly whites to gnaw on a survivor

I'm outside the cinema, too. Im human and have been taking my fire axe to the barricades.

Wait...Shyar Cinema?...But..hell I used up all my AP pounding on the hospital...damn.
Ok, will shamble over to the cinema when I can.

Part of our problem is the time differrence between the US and Europe.

We need 4-5 of us attacking the barricades at about the same two hour period so that we get the barricades down, the door opened, and get inside to the crunchy human goodness before the defenders react.

The US folks might be better off concentrating their effort between 9 and 11 PM EST.

We might do the same in Europe between 8 and 10 Greenwich time. I'm in Germany but most of you are in England.

Focusing on a one hour period would be even better but that might be too much of a burden for folks.

I thought I'd give this a try.

I started off a couple of suburbs over, so I made it to somewhere in Vinetown.

Here is my profile again. Note the badass black coat http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=2124273
Oh and the bleeding rose tatooed onto my arm.

In a shock turn of events I have now created a non shotgun wielding Zombie Cop called notpopped.

That said this was before MoO started creating Emo Zombies! Clown zombies I can live with but emos! Where's those shotguns?

I'm in Edgecombe, will be shambling in in the next 24hrs.

En route to the cinema, although I need to get up again - But at least I'm in vinetown now.

3 suburbs to go and I can join the slaughter

Lucky Duck! I am still looking for a fire axe.

Are we winning yet?

Welcome HiveFleetPlastic!

Well done, notprop! Thanks for bringing a Zed.

master of ordinance, that profile link is perfect!

We are getting to be a very interesting horde of zombies.

Now if we can just crack open Shyar.


Are any folks in England or elsewhere able to concentrate attacks around 8 PM Greenwich time, which is 3 PM EST...I think.

Yessir, but it will have to be tomorrow when I got quite a bit of AP to use

No worries. I should be able to acquire a new skill tonight so I will pick up 'Memories of LIfe" so that I am able to open the door once we knock down the barricades.

It would be awful to get the barricades down and find out we're stymied by a closed door!

I'm throwing myself at the barricade of Shyar Cinema.

Part of the barricade collapsed. I'm unclear as to exactly how much of an effect that is.

Azazel,

It is tough to tell when they have the barricade level up to EHB. See the chart below:

Barricade Levels
0 Doors Secured
1 Loosely Barricaded
2-4 Lightly Barricaded
5-7 Quite Strongly Barricaded
8-10 Very Strongly Barricaded
11-13 Heavily Barricaded
14-16 Very Heavily Barricaded
17+ Extremely Heavily Barricaded

Once we get it down to VHB (very heavily barricaded) then we can tell exactly how many hits it will take to get it down to 0 level. You can see why we need so many zombies to get in.

That's why we need to concentrate our attacks around the same time frame. Otherwise they will repair the damage as fast (or faster) than we can tear down the barricades.


EDIT: The humans at Shyar are asking for help over the radio. They are offering booze and smokes to anyone who helps to build their barricades. If they offer cake, then I'm in!

I'm vainly wandering around Vinetown... not really sure how to find you guys.
