Dirt:Nap

Hello. I saw your request for escorts for a dirt nap. I'd be happy to help however I can, but I'll need a day or two to stock up on syringes. Just let me know when and where. You can get ahold of me on my talk page if you need to. Have a great day! --Pedentic 01:31, 8 September 2007 (BST)

Alright. I've got 14 FAKs and nine syringes at 100% encumberance. I'm also packing some ammo to clear rotters and a toolbox to fix up buildings. Just let me know when we're moving out and where to. Have a great day! --Pedentic 03:57, 9 September 2007 (BST)

Alright, I usually like to do this with 30 or more syringes to really clean out a revive queue but I guess it'll still be worthwhile if we do one that's close. I'm new to the area and it's hard to find the stuffed queues with the DEM revive tool down. Any suggestions of where to go around here to find people waiting for a revive? Gee Walk is close, guess we can start there. You know the drill?--Cantera 15:07, 9 September 2007 (BST)

The drill? I've checked out the page on Dirt Naps, so I think so. The idea is that you'll go revive five zombies then I'll come revive you. Then repeat process until syringes run out. Correct? --Pedentic 19:54, 9 September 2007 (BST)

I'm willing to help out. I only have nine syringes on me at this time but I'm looking to create more if you guys don't head out on your run tomarrow. --Peoh 05:54, 10 September 2007 (BST)

Yep, pretty straight forward. One of us leads out there, does all the revives they can but then stays at the revive point to let the zeds kill them. The next person has to wait until the first person is standing as a zombie. Then they go out, revive the first person(most important) and then revives as many zeds as possible. At the end they should be left standing so the remaining zeds can kill them. They then have to stand up as a zombie and the process starts again. Key is to never be alive at the revive point unless one of the DIRT:Nap team is standing as a zombie. This means a good amount of waiting for AP to build up or waiting for the other guy to stand as a zed after being killed but you can usually get 3-4 revives depending on the number of rotters and the number of DNA scans you have to do. We can do it faster with 3 as long as you never stand unless you see one of the other 2 as a zombie. Sorry if that was long winded but good to make sure everyone is on the same page. I'm up for waiting for Peoh if you can wait Pedentic. Alright with you?--Cantera 14:26, 10 September 2007 (BST)

Up to 14 syringes (& -10 ap currently) so far. You guys could go ahead if the location is within a day's travel. Gives me the extra day to stock up and puts me in about the safest location to ensure I can run over the next day and still be alive to res one of you guys.Peoh 21:10, 12 September 2007 (BST)

I'm fine with waiting a while longer. A question, though: I know that one person goes and revives as many as they can, and at least one person waits in reserve to revive them. After reviving the first person, are all of us just hanging out at the revive point (reviving each other and other zombies)? Also, do we have a plan for rotters? I would suggest that if you find one, write down their id number so that the others can add them to their contacts list. That way, only one of us needs to spend the AP to scan them. What do you think? --Pedentic 22:46, 12 September 2007 (BST)

We can use this page. If you ID a brain rotter while laying dead or standing there as a zed, post his or her ID so we can add them to our lists and ignore them. About 95ish% of my item limit used up here, 17 syringes in all. I'll have the AP to move tomarrow. Where are we headed? --Peoh 01:08, 14 September 2007 (BST)

Ummmmm...Cantera? Did you go start this thing? If so, where? If not, when? I'm sitting on full encumberance, and Peoh is nearly full as well. I think we're ready. --Pedentic 03:34, 14 September 2007 (BST)

I'm growing weary of waiting. It's been over a week, and I've heard nothing from you. If no contact is established in the next day or two, I'm going to move on to projects of my own. --Pedentic 04:05, 26 September 2007 (BST)

Welcome to the Wiki

Hi Cantera! As we can see, you made your first edits to this wiki not long ago. It's OK to be new, and we encourage new blood to join and enrich our community. At the same time, we understand that no one is a perfect wiki editor straight off the bat, and, just in case you get stuck, here're some useful tips to help you out. Please take the time to read them.

General Editing

Never delete someone else's edits, comments, responses, etc. off community pages. To do so is considered vandalism. If you write a comment it's useful to sign it so that other editors will know who wrote it. You can write "~~~~" at the end of your comment to sign it, or there's this button on the top of the edit page that will sign for you if you want. You may want to know how your edits will look before they have been saved, to make sure that nothing is wrong. Use the "Preview" button before the "Save" button - it's your friend! If you're slow in your editing and there's an editing conflict, you might not understand the error that you get. The easiest way to overcome the edit conflict is to copy whatever you have been writing, go back with your browser, and then re-enter the edit page so that you can add your edits without deleting those made before yours. The wiki is a collaborative project, please do your best to work well with fellow editors. Further help for editing the wiki can be found on the Help page.

Project Mentor

Project Mentor has been set up to allow new wiki users to have a more experienced wiki veteran mentor them for the first few weeks. Visit its page for more information!

Your User Page

One of the great things about the wiki is that every user can have his or her own user page! These pages are located in the User: namespace — in other words, they all begin with "User:" (yours is User:Cantera). The appropriate place to write about yourself or your characters is on your user page, or a subpage of that page (e.g., User:Cantera/Your Character's Name). Please don't create pages about yourself outside the User: namespace. Those pages will be moved into subpages of your user page, and the original speedily deleted. If you want something to be deleted, use the speedy deletion page; that's why Criterion 7 was made.

User Talk Pages

Every user has a talk page, found by clicking the "discussion" link at the top of his or her user page, or by going directly to it (yours would be User talk:Cantera). If you have a question for someone, or want to say something to him or her, his or her user talk page is the place. However, many users on the wiki have established specific guidelines for how their user talk pages are to be treated — where new comments should go, how they should be written, what is or is not okay to talk about, etc. Be sure to look for guidelines on the talk page before you leave a comment. If you don't see any guidelines specified, the assumption is that you should place your comment at the bottom of the talk page, under a level 2 heading. This can be accomplished by clicking the "+" link next to the "edit" tab at the top of the talk page, or by manually typing in your message in this format: ==Message title== Your message goes here When replying to a comment already laid on the page, remember to indent it correctly: do it by inserting as many colons plus one to the message you're replying to at the begining of your message, like this: ==Message title== Your message :User's reply ::Your reply

The Suggestions Page

We know that as a new user, you want to share your ideas with us. But a community as big as ours has already seen all kind of suggestions, and it's possible that we've already seen something very similar to the ideas you have. Follow these simple guidelines to make sure that your suggestion gets the respect that it deserves: First of all, read the Suggestions Page's rules. We strongly recommend that you read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and the Frequently Suggested Ideas pages so that you will have an idea of what kind of suggestions are likely to be accepted and what kind are ridiculous in the eyes of the community. The pages might look long and time-consuming to read, but you will find them entertaining and helpful. You might also want to look at the Previous Days Suggestions. These contain a record of all previous suggestions. Use the search function in your browser to search for keywords relating to the suggestion you want to make. It may be helpful to wait a few days to get a feel for the wiki and the other users before subjecting your idea to any possible criticism. If you're unsure, the Suggestions Discussion page is good neutral territory to suggest, gather feedback, and refine your idea before officially submitting it. Write your suggestion according to these steps. If it looks too complicated for you, ask for help. You can't modify a suggestion that you've written once it has been posted on the Suggestions page. You can withdraw and resubmit it with changes later, but only do that if people liked your original suggestion while requesting changes, not if it was Spaminated. If you get stuck at ANY point in writing your suggestion, ask for help. There's no shame in being new and after a few times, you'll get the hang of it.

Additional Contacts

If there's anything not covered by this introduction, you still have plenty of avenues to find some extra help. Project Welcome and Project Mentor are perfect starting points, but if you have something more pressing at hand, don't be afraid to get in touch with the administration staff.

Remember: These guidelines may look difficult to learn and follow, but they're mainly just common sense! Think about what you're going to say or do before you do it! If you don't make an effort to do so, then why would others have the obligation to be nice to you? Feel free to ask any Project Welcome member if you need help, that's our purpose anyways!

If you want to delete this text, just delete the {{Welcomenewbie}} line from your talk page. Remember that you can always have access to these tips on the Project Welcome/Welcomenewbie page.The preceding signed comment was added by boxy (talk • contribs) at 07:49 Monday July 2007 (BST)
