Outbreak: Discussion Thread

[PFC. Joey Toniatti]

My plan is simple and as follows, we need to supply ourselves with weapons and enough resources to build defences. Our best bet is to scan every building in the area before we search the open areas (Example: C2, B3).

Yes, but it would be better to work as a team and consult your squad before going all out.

[PuNk! ™]

Yes Mac. They're proper tree logs, just stripped from branches and stacked ahigh a mound of other tree logs and Dan does have a point Adam. It looks like you and JT are the only ones who seem to be going lonewolf a little; although I think you're just too hasty with your posts Adam and don't wait to see what tactics could be discussed BEFORE posting.

You just post first and then discuss it. So it does make you bit of a lonewolf player too.

We are faster then the zombies? Right? I might not be a fan of zombie movies, but I've seen enough to know that undead things that are faster then humans, aren't real zombies.

Nah, the zombies are "original" in this game. They move slow and groan a lot; have little intelligence, just maybe the odd memory spout. Otherwise, you're safe, no 28 days later scenario here or L4D scenario; with crazed skitzo zombie things.

In regards to post editing, I think we should have an out if our post is depending on someone else, and that person doesn't post. Like if Dan hadn't posted, I wouldn't have needed to do the whole log thing, but I wouldn't have known that Dan wasn't going to post until too late.

Like JT did, stating that he would do something only if another condition was met. Perhaps we could have an "Alternative Intentions" area in our posts.

Can these zombies swim? I know they have been labeled as "original zombies" but I honestly dunno if the original ones could swim.

[Sgt. John Walters]

Well in my opinon (Me being a hugeeee zombie fan)zombies cannot swim, their lungs only fill up with water and they walk under water.

...seriously...I mean thanks for the help but um...can you post please?

Just want to clarify something with the DAY 2 mod quickly.

No BOW AND ARROWS were used, because without a wall (height and suitable defense to shoot from) as well as bad lighting, everyone felt it was rather pointless to be using it during the dark with zombies getting up close - so that was the reason why everyone remained with their melee weapons, even if some were slightly weaker.

Despite that, the bow and arrows can make and will make better weapons in the daytime. They would have been stronger weapons at night too, if you guys had a tower/wall/lighting.

Also... You've all survived by the skin of your teeth. Joey and John might be infected, or not, but either way you look at it, they're still alive and so no deaths have occured. Yet. I would highly suggest getting defenses, the horde numbers are rising and you guys SERIOUSLY need to start working together more. I know some of you are, but I also know some you aren't and this could spell disaster if you're not careful.

Also, spare weapons in the bank. Discuss who gets them here. Plus, more supplies, so discuss upgrades too maybe? Sorry my mod was late btw, I've been really busy...

AAAAAWWWWW YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH

Of course, just about everyone gets a weapon right before we get bows

My suggestions:

1. Hammer related puns

2. Dan replaces his empty chainsaw for a bow.

3. More Hammer related puns

4. Dan, JT, and I go to the radio station. JT will look for weapons, Dan will look for supplies, and I will for any MC Hammer Ablums. Perhaps everyone even moves there for the night, without a wall, I don't see the camp having any benefits the radio station doesn't have.

5. That reminds me, I'll make puns about hammers

6. We put zombie John and zombie Adam on the boats and give them a viking funeral

7. We get hammered

8. Punk, could my hammer give some kind of bonus to the wall. Like banging it together with a hammer would make it stronger then tying it together or whatever someone else would do?

9. Bang Bang Mac's silver hammer

[PFC. Joey Toniatti]

How about Joey and John go to a seperate place for the night and therefore if one gets signs of infections then the other can kill him.

~Adam

[Sgt. John Walters]

Sounds good to me.

[Nathan Whyte]

Mac, I like your plan. However, I think it will be best, until we know John and Joey's situation if the four healthy people go. Dan, you can take the spare pool cue if you want. If we can clear the building, we'll set up camp there for the night, if we can't then we'll have to return to base.

Joey/John, I want you two to search all of the buildings in B2 thoroughly, cache all of the stuff you find in the bottom-right building in that square, and then set yourselves up one of the other houses. Take some wood if you want, and barricade yourselves in. There may be a considerable amount of zombies coming for you, so make sure you feel safe. If one of you becomes a zombie, then I expect the other to kill them. If you're both zombies... Bugger.

Anyway, that's my reccomendation, unless you guys want to try something else, just stay away from the main group. I won't be online again before the deadline, so it's up to you what you do.

[Sgt. John Walters]

I'm fine with that, I wouldn't want risk that fact of myself or Joey being infected.

[Mac Bargett]

I suppose this is too late for this game, but perhaps if someone knows they will be unavailable to post some day, they get to put their character on "autopilot", allowing them to fight at the midnight attack, since it's not like we control our characters then anyway.
