Starting Text
You were passing through Malton on your way to go hunting when the government ordered Malton quarantined, you waited in the <Name of Hotel, Motel or Pub> with the other guests for the evacuation truck to come but it never arrived.

You've had a loaded shotgun and ammunition near you ready to help defend yourself and the other guests the whole time but now wonder whether you should leave and go elsewhere.

Suggestion description
There are two character classes that start out with pistols but none starting with a shotgun, this is an attempt to remedy that.

I have made the starting skill Shotgun Training instead of Basic Firearms Training because a hunter would be more likely to use a Shotgun instead of a Pistol and also because there are already two character classes starting with Basic Firearms Training and I did not want to add a third.

Given that the Private has two full reloads of the Pistol it seemed that a character class armed only with the shotgun should have enough spare ammo to reload the weapon to capacity twice, that means 4 Shells since each Shotgun can take two rounds at a time.

I'm assuming that the hunters will not be from Malton for the most part so would have been staying in a Hotel/Motel or just drinking at a Pub. RPers who want a hunter from Malton can always roleplay that they went to the Pub or Hotel/Motel to eat or see a friend who was passing through before they went hunting and got stuck and just ignore the part about passing through.

It stands to reason that since the majority of people who would be caught up in a zombie apocalypse would be Civilians that there is no problem with having more Civilian classes than the other classes, in fact that would make it more believable.

Keep Votes

  1. Keep - Would I have suggested it if I didn't think it was a good idea? Supereviloverlord 09:12, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
  2. Keep - Errrr. Yeah I guess. --Ross Less Ness Enter Stranger... 10:46, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Kill Votes

  1. Kill - Meh. Couldn't find a dupe but found a couple that were similar (they all had Basic Firearms as starting skill instead of Shotgun). I don't like the idea of any more gun-based classes, and I don't think adding one to "fill in the gap" of starting with shotguns instead of pistols is worthwhile. Also, while this didn't factor into my vote, I just want to say that I think the flavour is really silly. Hunters were just passing by through the town with shotguns? What is this, the old west!?

    Regarding Axe Hack's vote, this isn't a dupe. As I said above, I found that suggestion but dupes must have no viable differences. A ZOMBIE ANT 11:58, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
  2. Kill. The last thing we need is more early game content. PB&J 14:00, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
  3. Kill - As both DDR and Johnny. I don't see a point for more early game content that isn't well-differentiated from the other content (they'll all have the same skills and inventory after about a week anyway), nor do I see a reason why the gap needs to be filled.

    Just what we need. More trenchcoating newbies. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 06:07, 15 November 2012 (UTC) Vote changed. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 06:19, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Spam/Dupe Votes

  1. Oh look. A suggestion that suggests a class starting with a shotgun. A Peer Reviewed suggestion, at that! Dupe. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 06:19, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
