Out of interest, how do you know who the bodies are? Should I have you all in my contacts? (Not bothered to date).

Also If we are thinking about kicking the hornets nest that was Shyar I think we need allot of bodies, I seem to remember that there was 12 high level survivors there. This might leave the mall open to attack?

Mmmm... Tasty tasty chicken... And some xps for me.

I just hit the warehouse north of the mall, 3 survivors, Including a wounded Fishapologist, are inside and I'm out of AP, so anyone fancying a little bit of dinner is welcome to join me!

GOOD MAN!

That's the latest target then guys, just don't leave Mitchem empty.

Shyar's certainly doable, definitely with our current numbers, but it'll have to wait until y'all are higher levels. Mitchem's a far more important resource anyway.

Contact list is handy; just open each profile in a new tab and you can sort it pretty quickly.

Yes, add the people in the contacts list in the original post for this thread (inside a spoiler dropdown) to your contacts list. Then you will see their names (dead or alive) when you are in the same square as them.
PRO TIP: You can also see contacts level and class. Any of our team that is listed as a Civilian is in revival mode AKA free chicken! Right now we have three members that will stand up as humans: Patient 13, Albacorpse, and Callsign Blood Rose.

We're not ready for Shyar yet. And since MDK isn't really messing with us right now, I'm willing to leave them alone while you guys build up levels.

St. John's is M.E.R.C.Y.'s home base and it is between us and Shyar anyway.

@Dark Apostle 666,

I will be able to help at the warehouse as soon as I build up some AP. Three humans there sounds like a takeout order for our hungry horde.

Also, can a few people from the SE move to the NW please.

As we've ruined the buildings to the South, and are now attacking the North, we'll need to focus on populating the North (particularly West) corners...

Nice job countering the Zerging claims on the Wiki discussion btw JB; thanks!

Warehouse just West of Mall was still at VSB. Should we do the nearest houses first before starting to spend a lot of AP shambling several blocks north?

Yes, we are destroying the warehouse first.

EDIT: The warehouse is at Heavily Barricaded now.

Either Pilyer or the junkyard would make suitable targets as well.
PRO TIP: Junkyards do not have doors so once you get the barricades down. It's open.

It was funny.

The guy asking the question was the leader of The Spanish Inquisition.

He goes by Mall Rat on the Wiki but his Vinetown character is Mick McManix.

I guess our sudden spike in numbers caught their attention. That's not too surprising since we went from five or so active players to five times that number.

Recruiting has slowed down the last two days though, even with a notice over at WarSeer. It may be tough to get to 50 members. We are stuck at 30 active members right now.

30 is more than enough, particularly at higher levels.

True but I'm overstating things just a tad. Only 27 of our 30 members are actually active. Manchu, Zombie Dusa, and Cannerus are inactive. Zombie Dusa can't be used in Vinetown because it is d-usa's other zombie. Zerging is a no-no and we should rigorously enforce that rule.

This zed munched me. Ill be standing up when i regain some AP.

Even 20's enough (obviously not as comfortable, but certainly enough). IIRC we took Shyar with 12 or so before. Also, whilst we and the Legion may be the only organised zed groups, there's other zombies in vinetown too.

Just a quick heads up:

The junkyard just north of Mitchem Mall is VSB with Lights On.

So, warehouse then junk yard? I have been at the barricades at the warehouse. Get em down and we can munch on the juicy warm brains inside, and put in a fire brake around the mall.

Junkyard breached, juicy humans hiding inside. Took a few bites, but I'm now out of AP.

Infected 2 of them.

The Warehouse directly west of Mitchem is at Lightly Barricaded. A couple of slaps ought to get us inside.

In the junkyard directly north of Mitchem, there's 2 survivors left and i managed to nom one of them. They still have a generator and a radio.

The lights came on inside Club Izzard.

Baked Monkey is down to 27hp in the junkyard to the north of NW Mall.

I usually prefer raw Oomies but cooked simian will do at a pinch.

Bon appetitè!

The warehouse is open thanks to Monster Rain and Sevatar. No humans here.

Karl Heins and a LVL2 human named Radio Static killed Sevatar and I. Fortunately, it was not a head shot so it only cost me 1 AP to stand up.

I'm going to ruin the warehouse before moving back to the Mall.

Nice work on the junkyard, guys!

We probably a need more zombies in Junkyard. Nina Narelle is one of those dirty needle-slingers (I've got all the needle slingers I've seen marked as Red on my contacts list so I know to kill them fast).

Why am I not there with you? I need a needle-slinger! :(

Oh I love people that revive zombies.
It is such a waste of time and AP considering most zombies just turn into death cultists...

It also provides Free Chicken for our newer zombies that need XP.

Someone else ruined the Warehouse so I will be heading back to the Mall in a bit.



Fun times! Sister Rita attacked me at the Warehouse, dumped me outside, and heavily barricaded the building.

So I'll be a little slower getting back to the Mall.

I have her profile now if anyone wants it. I'm saving all of the humans profiles. I keep seeing the same ones over and over so they seem less numerous than us.

She used at least three shotgun shells and two pistol shells. Those will be more difficult for her to replace now that we control the ruined Mall. She can still find them at police stations though (approximately 6% chance per search).

It might be fun to control the Mall and all four police stations. Perhaps the survivors will have to travel far afield for ammo resupply as they use up their current loads against us.

I've never seen a revived zombie hit as hard as a real one. So its not a waste of time and AP. It takes 10 AP to inject a zombie and it has 100% hit rate. Way more effective than shooting a zombie. That also means a low level zombie then has to spend 10 AP to get up and when he gets up he is a puny, weak human with 25 HP and 10%, 1 dmg punch attack. Not a threat to ANYONE. The only thing he can do well is be a free meal, but every AP spend on munching "free meal" is also an AP spend not munching a dirty needle-slinger... So from their viewpoint the needle is the best weapon ever. A needle slinger with 20 AP can put down two of us with zero-fail rate. A gunslinger with 20 AP might very well fail in killing even one. Thats why I always like to kill needle-slinger first.

EDIT: ...like this. Nina Narelle down, Junkyard cleared. Start ransacking.

Polaria,

Purplefood is viewing the situation from his perspective as a LVL43 human killing machine in either zombie or human form.

I agree with you that needles are efficient most of the time until we get Brain Rot.

Now I need Flesh Rot to reduce the damage from those shotguns and pistols. It would be nice to make them use up 15-20 AP to kill me.

I also have a load of pistols and two shotguns as a human...
And a fire axe for those pesky 'cades...
Izzard is up again.

I assume patient 13 is providing chicken in the NW corner.

Patient 13 is all out of free chicken.
