(→Comments: Quite a little rant I've got here. I'm sort of beating around the bush about a more concerning topic: the gnawing fear that many zombies wouldn't want a zombie-takeover style end-game.) |

*Not FAKing yourself is a useful (if risky) tactic which I use frequently. To death cult. Because for every FAK you save yourself, you drain one from the local survivor supply. If your survivor is down to their last FAK, its understandable to pass the responsibility along to the better-supplied. But if you just want to hoard FAKs you don't need, you're producing an unnecessary local shortage. People might use their last FAKs on you. FAKs they'd need should they become infected. | *Not FAKing yourself is a useful (if risky) tactic which I use frequently. To death cult.

Sure, one character's selfishness can only have a small, local effect. But these are the effects that make Malton spin. When you kill, you don't think you're changing Malton. But imagine if everyone suddenly stopped killing. We'd have a very different city, eh? Everyone has a tiny slice of power over Malton. Use your for life, or use it for death. Just don't waste it on yourself. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 09:58, 9 April 2011 (BST) | Sure, one character's selfishness can only have a small, local effect.

- Many things. Start with zombies using dark buildings to their advantages. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 14:55, 7 April 2011 (BST)

Comments
Mostly common sense, but there are some good tips. I'd say the guide is intermediate level; It assumes you fully understand the mechanics, but there's no higher-level, theoretical strategics. Anyway, I'd recommend you eliminate the 'Avoid unnecessary FAKing/ransacking' section. Sure, you'll have spent less AP. But being such a greedy whore costs your side more AP than it saves for you.
- To not ransack a building, unless there are 15+ squatters inside, is putting a building at unnecessary risk of barricades. What could you possibly do with 6AP that would help the horde more than ransacking? Ransack a more vulnerable building? If you find one, sure. But so could the zombie who you're forcing to ransack the first building, assuming it isn't barricaded after you leave it.
- Not FAKing yourself is a useful (if risky) tactic which I use frequently. To death cult. Because for every FAK you save yourself, you drain one from the local survivor supply. If your survivor is down to their last FAK, its understandable to pass the responsibility along to the better-supplied. But if you just want to hoard FAKs you don't need, you're producing an unnecessary local shortage. People might use their last FAKs on you. FAKs they'd need should they become infected.
