Night of the Dead-OOC

Post » Fri May 13, 2011 9:33 am

I'm talking Field Doctor, you'd be going out on the raids for food and zombie-killing and survivor-hunting. Keeping people alive, whether that be through shooting Zed or cauterizing a festering cut. I'm just thinking someone who's directly built to be a leader in the long run should be. Your guy seems to be like he's winding down from the killing.
Although, if no one else jumps forward you're the leader. You're definitely better than no one.

P.S: There are a lot more specialisations you could be, just throw me ideas. If you want to be the supplier who makes sure people get all their armour and weapons... Go ahead. XD Just tell me etc.

Field Doctor sounds good.... for now... :)

Good job taking my monster and running with it guys, and reidster, I love the leech idea. I have another surprise coming up for you guys, if my mom gives me the time on this lap-top. If not, I'll post in a few hours (have to go somewhere).

Before you create another monstrosity... You might want to take it up with Josh or Francois, or at least wait till things settle down in the current RP. If we get another thing like that, at least two people would probably die. I'm quite honestly surprised that the mutant you guys are currently shooting at hasn't even tried to attack any of you.

I'd like to be the team's scavenger... when my character gets there...

In reality, we should have lost at least 3 people by now. But I'm allowing it so far, people wanna be tanks... I'll allow it until the non-combatants can be a little safer. Then if the tanks wanna stay suicidal they can go for it.
And yes, Ant, if you have any other ideas PLEASE PM me about it beforehand kay? I'll almost definitely accept it, anything to make the RP better is always good; I enjoy taking on ideas. But just don't throw it in... I mean... I've let a lot of things slide so far, it's sort of getting out of hand. I don't wanna throw around any hammers... Of booting or banning... And I prolly won't. Evar.
But I can still threaten. Mwahaha. XD

White = General Info

Green = Idea

Blue = Agreement/Understanding

Yellow = Apology/Error/Miscommunication

Okay, I have read all the pages that I missed in the entire ONE DAY THAT I WAS NOT GONE. I am both impressed and frustrated in how many ideas can be made and set in stone in 24 hours, but I have a list of comments that I suggest everyone should read, hence the color-codedness. I'll try to keep up with the color coding if I can remember. If anyone objects to it, just speak up.

I am the one who made the mutated zombie. At the time I was feeling innovative and wanted something to amp things up, because I could feel that this RP could evolve into a "cake-walk" if we had the cut and dry standard ghoul/zombies. Also, I didn't know that the RP leaders had so much control of how much we did and where the overall RP was going (I thought it was more of an open world, do as you wish on a whim kinda thing). I apologize, and in the future I will use the protocol.

Also, I did see logic in the spread of the FEV, and also the mutation, since it is a Forced Evolutionary Virus. I was also trying to jump on the new nightfall as the mixture of the moonlight and sunlight triggered a reaction from the virus. As far as the leech, Reidster, it as a good save for me on your part, but in his justification, we'll just say that a worm was present at the time the FEV was exposed.

Lastly, Francois, I think 400+ Zed's is a little steep, don't you? I mean, if it started at the marketplace, I'll call that a good 75 people outdoors. A couple get bitten, it could spread to a solid 250 by the time we all entered my house. Speaking of that, are we all still at my house?


Good job with the weaknesses, it helps me visualize how things could play out in the future, and keep in mind that these creatures are constantly adapting the world, learning new things in a sense. To help you understand, think about Land of The Dead, where the zombies "taught themselves" to swim over the course of the movie. If thats='s okay with you ll I mean.

I do like how you are assigning rolls, but I'm not sure if I prefer that over natural grouping. Of course there is the issue if we all would be organized enough to even do that naturally, but in any case, could anyone clarify who had been assigned what? I know Josh is assigned Doctor, and Fran. Is there a leader? Or a scavenger. Based off the way my character is at this moment, and off of what skills I have, I could either so Leader or scavenger. It's up to you which you would want me to fill in for. My primary is scavenger IF, no leader has bee assigned.

Oh yes, and it is imperative that we treat this as we would in a real life situation. We are not gods, and I have tried to stay on the straight and narrow in that affront.


Oh, and welcome Aussie! I don't believe I've done an RP with you, well maybe one back when I first joined the forums. Either way, good to have another vet on board.

No one's really been assigned anything so far, everyone's been out when I came up with that idea. Timezones svck... massively.

I do love your massive input and I understand what you're talking about, and the 400 Zed currently... Well, there's more to it. There's a backstory to this we'll find out over time. But in short, when you read about the lab getting infected... Welp, they screwed up something else to. Let's just say one person screwing up destroys a lot of people's chances at living. Also, because it's a utopia people aren't prepared for this, all the people we have in our group, plus about... 20 others. Have GUNS. This isn't supposed to be a Waster town, it was almost modern-normal. So when people see a monster running towards them... They break down, or don't move.

I should've clarified that... But I thought that was put across when I said 'utopia'. <.< Sorry.

And true, we are not gods. So if anyone gets bitten, they're either getting capped in the head, kicked from the group and left to transform or put into a cell for experimentation.
Evolving zombies? Mm.. I like. The whole point is to move forward I guess, we're all gonna do that. The whole option thing I put up has a lot to do with an idea I've been making for a good 2 months now. It's a bit of a mini-strategy game for me and choices, as well as actions for you.

Roles are subject to change and suggestion, so if you think we need something tell me. A merchant to trade with the outside world somehow? If you can pull it off, you can be it. Although, I don't mean to sound dikey but if you try to do something too heroic or god-like.. Well.. I might have to spawn a Zed on top of you. Sorry. :(

I wasn't planning on doing anything close to godly sir, the closest to godly I had was me telling people to shoot at the tentacle zombie thing. But, I will further flesh out my characters emotions so you can understand what I'm doing.

But Im confused, if everyone is going to be dieing all the time, the RP would not last that long, or am I taking things too literally?

Also am I being too much of a tank? I did not think I was? :cryvaultboy:

Cheers for the welcome guys, I look forward to taking on the undead horde with you haha.

Couple of questions, 1 What time of day is it in the Rp? I'd assume at night these things would run rampant and we'd be in for some serious trouble, so I'd like to know if there's a sense of urgency as it's dusk? Or if I've got time because it's early morning or something close to that.

2 Should we make a list of the different types of Zombies? I think this would help with people creating zombies and help us keep a track of what kind of zed's there are so we can use them throughout the Rp. I was thinking something like a quick character sheet for them,

Type: "average zombie"

Appearance: Your average man or woman, covered in blood and undead

Strength: Can smell you, fast, super strong and agile

Weakness: Easiest zombie to take down, quickest way to kill it is by decapitating it's head

Special abilities: None

That's just a brief sheet, think of anything else and add it in. It's just an idea anyway.

It's about.. 1pm? I'd say? Yeah, that sounds right.
My character woke at 11am.. That was the timeframe I set. I'd say it's been 2hrs since then. We don't have to hurry, but getting to the apartments could take about 4 hours... So we may want to hurry.

Like the zombie sheet idea, any ideas for special zombies my fellows?

.. I've been watching a zombie series for about 2 hours now, so many ideas. And it's freezing in here, this A/C is faulty...

Well, basicaly it happened at lunch so its 1pm, probably, like Francois said.

The sheet thing is cool, but I dont think we should just post em'. We could have recurring Zed's and we would eventually figure out all the things by ourselves.

Cool idea with zombie character sheet.

Type: Crypt Walker :rofl:

Appearance: Massive mutantly looking, with bulging muscles, about 7"0, 3-5 "tentacles" sprouting from upper right arm, im to lazy to find Ant1ves pic,
Strength: Strong, quite bullet proof,

Weakness: if muscles are ruptured from behind then he will have little support to hold up his body, medium slow, not the best hearing

Special abilities: When body is rendered useless, the parisitic infector will leave in the form of a leech. If not killed quickly, it will reanimate other dead hosts.

This is just for fun, and we might be able to use it or part of it.

Well the idea for character sheets would just be for reference. Our characters wouldn't know the weaknesses or anything like that and they'd still need to discover the different types of zeds I think this would just make it easier for us
