I like the general idea, though your score generation could use some work, I think. Sure, it's useless flavor, but it'd be interesting. I'd put in more than one though. Maybe around 4-5 or so. —Aichon— 03:08, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

How could the score generation be enhanced? It's just increments of 10 between 10 and 1000. I though about more but if they were in different malls it wouldn't be unique, if they were in the same corner it would create screen spam and if they're in different corners of the mall it would be weird to me (most shopping centres I've been to only have one arcade). --Kamikazie-Bunny 03:24, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I wasn't keen on the increments or the range. I'd rather either see a wider range or smaller increments. And I know it wouldn't be unique then...which was kinda the point of my suggesting it. I was talking about different malls though, not in the same mall. —Aichon— 07:07, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Wow.--Pesatyel 05:14, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Good or bad wow? --Kamikazie-Bunny 20:28, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Is this a dupe? I don't remember ever seeing it.-- SA 14:08, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I'd consider supporting this if it were a pinball machine. And if it were in Tommy ... erm, Thomson Mall. --WanYao 03:38, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately it won't become part of Thompson mall as it already has a unique feature, The Hat Store. --Kamikazie-Bunny 20:13, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

I also decided not to name the machine so people could imagine it as whatever they wanted. --Kamikazie-Bunny 20:31, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

I liked this so much I suggested my own variant of it. --Explodey 14:15, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

So is this going to voting or what?

Iscariot's Spam

Spam - Survivors can already max out their characters without ever meeting a zombie, the undead can't do this, please no more pointless survivor AP wasting pointlessness. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 01:25, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't understand, what does survivors levelling up have to do with this? If survivors are wasting AP on 'pointless' things surely that's benefical to zombies. --Kamikazie-Bunny 01:29, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

It's the apocalypse, they should be doing stuff involving zombies, otherwise it's not a zombie apocalypse, it's some chav hoodies in your neighbourhood. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 01:33, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Whilst it's true this game is about a zombie apocalypse that doesn't mean everything has to involve zombies, in 'reality' people would need a break/distraction from the zombies, TV/games/radio/books at least some form of escapism would be required by survivors in order to deal with the daily horrors they would be likely to experience, it may be pointless but it would be necessary. On a lighter note, UD is a game, not everything has to be so serious, in fact you've probably voted spam on a good few suggestions because they were too serious, it's a bit of fun. --Kamikazie-Bunny 01:44, 11 November 2009 (UTC)--Kamikazie-Bunny 01:44, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

In a zombie apocalypse, books and teevee, or distractions in general, would get you killed. Just saying. –MisanthRopy 01:48, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Jesus H. Me, put an apostrophe in that header. If the suggestion's a bit of fun, it's in breach of rule 10 of the process and you should request your escalations, if it's game fun, why aren't zombies getting anything but the short end of the fucking stick again? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 01:50, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Lol, sorry. I mean it's a bit of fun for the players character if the player enjoys it as well so be it. Why have you resorted to the old "If zombies can't do something fun then survivors shouldn't be allowed to." Zombies are not portrayed as fun in 90% of the media, you can have fun with zombies but they don't do anything fun. Don't wail on survivors because they fit the stereotype. --Kamikazie-Bunny 02:01, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Exactly, zombies aren't portrayed as 'fun' as they are never 'our' protagonists. However we need to subvert this in the game because otherwise we're stuck with the situation that seems to be the norm in this game where we have a zombie apocalypse where the harmans outnumber the zambahz. This is bad, and not something we should be reinforcing with yet more (even small) entertainments for the harman side. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 02:06, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

If it's a player bonus, it should be for everyone. Zombies can interact with the holiday items, and could wear the birthday crowns too. Zombies are people too. –MisanthRopy 02:04, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

We're just slightly rotten.-- SA 02:05, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm trying to think of fun zombies and all I've got is Zombie Strippers... --Kamikazie-Bunny 02:11, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

I've got one in mind for another day, but I think it'll get shot down on reaction of it not giving any XP or health to the zombie side. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 02:15, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Zombie. Fucking. Square Dancing.--Lolwat64 02:18, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
