Outbreak: Discussion Thread

[PuNk! ™]

This is the official discussion thread for all current members of the Outbreak (Game 1) and have freedom of speech to cast your opinions and suggestions on movements or actions made during the mini-game.

It is essential for all members to keep communication during this game and to work as a team; how you perform, what you do and why you do it, is entirely up to you and you have complete freedom.

* Those not taking part in the game, may still post here, but try not to suade judgement too much for those playing the game and anyone randomly posting for the sake of it, will be removed from the thread to allow for important discussions to take place - thank you! *

So, how heavy is the timber? Could one person lift it?

[PuNk! ™]

No. Good question though. They're both piles of chopped down (and stripped) tree logs that are far too heavy for any manpower to carry and require machinery. Doesn't stop you hunting amongst the heavy timber for anything smaller maybe...?

IF - I mean IF, there was a huge number of participants in this game and they all banded together to attempt to try and carry the logs back, it may have been possible. Maybe. Just would require a lot of manpower and determination to carry it all that way back......

Can we move diagonally or no?

For this game, yes I'll allow diagonal movements.

I'm already seeing activity in the main game thread, yet no-one has discussed any tactics or waited for their appointed leader to come online...

By all means, if you guys want to lonewolf it, go ahead, but this game is supposed to be team based. Also, I just realised, if everyone makes their movements BEFORE the midnight closure, I'll moderate early and get the following day up quickly. So people don't have to wait around as long.

The main deadline will always be midnight (following night), but if everyone has made their moves, I may aswell mod it early, so you guys have extra time to play with and like I said, prevents extra waiting.

Ok so I anyone is actually reading these posts, I have a good feeling about that dock.

~ That's the spirit!

[Mac Bargett]

Alright, and I'll inspect the timber for lose wood.

Punk, when is midnight? GMT? And if we post, can we redo if it is before midnight?

[PuNk! ™]

GMT is "Greenwich Meantime" and I don't know everyone's timezone here, but if you use this site to find your own timezone and can compare it against the GMT clock, you can work out the difference.

Right now as I type this post, it's currently 12:18am (just after midnight), so maybe that will help?

Also, once you make your action post, it should be your FINAL post. You can re-do your game post if you wish, but once everyone has posted theirs up, I will moderate them all and get an early mod up. So please only post your actions if you're absoloutely sure and you can modify your action post if people still haven't posted...

Here's what I'm thinking for the first day, if anybody has any radically different ideas, let me know and I'll see if they can fit in to the plan.

Because we're all unarmed, and I'm unsure if these zombies will be attacking us in the daytime, I want us to move in two groups, one of two and one of three. Because Dan's the second highest ranking NCO here, I want him to lead group number 2.

For today, Group One which is me, Adam and Walters will go and explore the village in A2. Group Two will explore the timber at B1. Look for anything useful today, we'll work out what we have, and what resources are where, and tomorrow we'll start working out a proper plan.

Sound good?

[PFC. Joey Toniatti]

Good starting plan Nate.

~Adam

[Mac Bargett]

Ditto.

[Sgt. John Walters]

Confirmed.

Just to inform you all. Please remember to give a little a description during your movement/action posts, so I understand what you're trying to achieve (doesn't have to be long). If it would help matters, I could develop a small template that you guys could fill out.

Movements:[/u]
(Example - Moving to A1 and then returning to B2 // Just moving to A1 // Staying at B2)
Intentions:[/b]
Looking specifically for wooden resources // Looking for any resources // Searching for weaponry.
Current Weapon:[/b]
(Example - None // Jagged Sword // Handgun // Etc)
Description:[/b]
Example 1 - Searching north-western one story building for metal resources; donating all daylight hours to searching that one particular building.

Example 2- Traveling towards the small rural town, Bob kept low and as quiet as possible during his journey, not wanting to attract any unnecessary "zombie" attention to himself. Reaching the town, Bob held his handgun tightly and kept a calm nerve as he observed the street. Moving into the first building, Bob locked the door behind himself and slowly cleared each room of the building before proceeding with looking for potential resources for the safezone.

After looking for hours, all day, Bob made his way quietly back to camp before dusk - ready for the nightly attack.

You guys like that template and does it help explain things better? Here's the code if you want to use it:

GO TEAM DAN!

I bagsy JT on my team!
Just my opinion here, but I think our top priorities should be weapons and timber for a wall. Much better chance of survival if we can chop them up with a chainsaw, rather than fists...
