Guides:Feral Death-Cultist Guide

After having it discussed in Developing Guides (see guide's talk page) and thoroughly proof-read, I think this one is ripe for voting. -- Spiderzed▋ 23:11, 10 June 2010 (BST)

For

1. Yarp. 23:12, 10 June 2010 (BST)
2. Authour vote. -- Spiderzed▋ 18:30, 11 June 2010 (BST)
3. The only possible flaws are in the strategy, and that's up to the reader to decide. We're just voting on whether it makes sense- and it's clarity is flawless. --VVV ^RPMBG 01:41, 12 June 2010 (BST)
4. I thought it was excellent. Better players mean a better game and this guide will help with that for both sides-and it features one of the most interesting aspects of the game: the "hybrid" character. Nice job.--Belisarius17 17:44, 12 June 2010 (BST)
5. MmmmHmmm. -Austin Hunt 16:59, 15 June 2010 (BST)

Against

Abstain

1. Abstain - As someone with a brainrotted feral death cultist, I'd largely agree with most of this guide, but I disagree with almost everything on the RG and lots of other minor stuff. Getting DNR status generally happens on a local level rather than through the RG. My PKer has killed a good 50 people, and the RG has dismissed all claims against him out of hand for some strange reason. He still gets killed and revives are refused regularly. So yeah, I feel you overplayed the RG and underplayed the issue of becoming well known locally.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 23:21, 10 June 2010 (BST)

   Also, the internal links need to be changed,because they link to the userspace version rather than this version.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 23:22, 10 June 2010 (BST)

   Just when I thought that I had covered everything for the transition to main space... Thanks for the heads-up. -- Spiderzed▋ 23:30, 10 June 2010 (BST)

So you've decided to become a zombie

- Chief Seagull (talk) 15:00, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

For

1. I was planning on abstaining, since I felt like it was a bit of a wall of text. On second thought though, it's fairly fun to read, and is a pretty extensive discussion of zombie skills and their utility/importance. Still, it could probably afford to be pared down a bit. - DevOhm 04:32, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
2. Made me a chuckle and it was a decent read! --C Whitty 09:46, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
3. nothing to say about this one, the lolspeak was humorous, and it clarified what all babah zombahs need to know.--Jack Kolt 05:10, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

5. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 20:20, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
6. Although I'd mention how diagnosis, is a lot cheaper than buying the equivalent scent skills, especially early in character development. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:45, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

7. Well I thought it was cute. RinKou 04:45, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
8. I disagree with some of the advice, the formatting and certain priorities and concepts, but it's like saying I don't like that Ferrari because it's yellow, it's still a Ferrari and I'd rather have this guide up there than an idiot trenchie one. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:33, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

1. Up until a major accuracy issue raised it's head I was right on board for this guide. "it's impossible to revive a rotted zombie". While this may be true in most cases, it is not true in all cases and needs clarification for newbies. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 06:34, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

The Feral Movement

- DevOhm 13:35, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I've decided to withdraw this guide from nomination at this time. Instead, I've taken it here to deal with some issues raised during this voting. Thanks everyone. - DevOhm 12:22, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

For

1. Author vote. Hope it reads well. - DevOhm 13:35, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
2. For it. It's a pretty extensive list of the possibilities of in-game communication and coordination of zombies.--Spiderzed 14:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
3. Well-written and helpful, but it's more of a group page than a guide. I figure it'll help new players though, so I'm voting for. 16:44, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
4. More of a policy than a guide. But lots of effort and some good advice. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 17:45, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
5. The information presented is well-written and somewhat origional. It does come across at times more like a group than a guide, but aside from that one easily-fixable problem it is a good guide.--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 19:52, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

   Any recommendations for making it less group-ish? I tried to do that with the disclaimer section at the beginning. - DevOhm 00:01, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

   Well, dump the group infobox for one. It gives the page a very strong 'group' vibe. Also perhaps suggest using the group field of the profile for a link to the wiki article, instead of just the name, as that says group too. 00:38, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

   Most of the article is fine; however, certain sections, such as 'Disclaimer," "Group Affiliation," and "The Feral Movement should be rewritten to shift the focus from the "group" (which should at best be an aside suggestion/endorsement) and more towards the concept. As Misanthropy suggested, you should either drop the groupbox, or create a custom model that doesn't use all the "group" variables.--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 02:59, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

   You know, having "tiny.cc/feral" as the group tag is a really great idea. Combining the group tag function with the wiki link is a great way to condense information even further. When the voting is up I'll definitely fold that idea into the guide. - DevOhm 06:43, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

6. Wonderfully written! A very good guide for a feral!!--Zaphord 00:20, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
7. tl;dr. I'll just go with the nice vote anyway. Cookies and Cream 09:31, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Against

1. Against, but only just. It's a well written guide at the bottom, but we cannot forget that it is indeed a group page. --Haliman - Talk 17:10, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

   I figured that a precedent for this sort of thing was set with X:00, which was pretty group-like at first. - DevOhm 00:01, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

2. Against interesting read but is it a guide? --C Whitty 00:03, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
3. Only barely against it, just because it does still read like a group page. Honestly, I'd take it to Developing Guides since it is a perfectly usable guide, but just needs to be de-groupified a bit. Give it a few days over there to polish it up, then bring it back here afterwards, I think. —Aichon— 00:56, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
4. As Aichon. A little polish and less group-ish and I'm 100% behind this guide. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 10:16, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
5. Against. Remove mentions of setting group affiliation, the group template in the top right portion of the page, and the mentions of the stats page so it feels less like a group page and more like a guide to a style of feral life. --Papa Johnny 14:50, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

   I'm down with the group box and stats page mentions, but I think the group affiliation is still a useful tactic for a number of reasons. Misanthropy suggested using a link to the wiki page as a group affiliation and I think that's a great idea. Would that work you think? Makes it more about the tactics than the identity, but you can still recognize groans and all that. - DevOhm 07:25, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

User:Winman1/Why zombies have an advantage

--Winman1 00:35, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

For

1. I'm voting for my own guide--Winman1 00:39, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
2. I vote in favor of the guide. While it has its flaws, it is pointing out numerous problems.

Starting out is really a misnomer. The proper term should be "Get dumped in the middle of nowhere and get eaten alive." Starting out with few supplies and few abilities, if you are put into an area where there are any zombies looking around, there's a very good chance you're going to die. Overcading prevents people from getting into buildings where they'd be safe, but the cades are put in place as a response to zombie attacks in order to protect resource spots. While a person could, hypothetically, check in every 30 minutes to see if their light barricades have been torn down (the zombie of course being generous enough to wait about taking action until the survivor has had an opportunity to respond), it's not realistic. People have lives, and can't spend all their time constantly checking up. Very high barricades are put in place because one good series of attacks would allow zombies to breach a building, and since no one starts with the ability to fortify a base of operations at level 1, death is a very likely outcome. If you're lucky enough to find yourself in a reclaimed suburb, you've got a chance, but with as many zombies as there are, you're more likely to end up eaten. Zombies, meanwhile, don't really have that much to be concerned about. Zombies aren't hunted because no matter what the survivors manage to do, the zombie just stands back up and continues attacking. Headshot is shrugged off easily enough, even at lower levels. Survivors cade up buildings because barricaded buildings are their only safe refuge. Zombies don't need refuge. They just need someone to eat.

The breakdown between Zombies and Survivors based on numbers is a major point as well, and he's correct. Simply looking at the numbers doesn't show anything. Zombies love to get revived so they can do some scouting and report back to others or just get inside a barricaded building and cause destruction. Death Cultists and PKers are a major thorn in survivors' sides. Anyone who's been hacked to death by a Death Cultist can attest to that.

As for the Nerfing, I'd say he's wrong about speech, as it's been indicated that there is a reason of practicality behind it. Revivification cost is one that he does have right. When the amount of AP expended to make and administer a syringe is the same amount as the AP cost to load and fire 10 shotgun shells, there is a major disparity. I can understand the reasoning behind it - "balance." If it only cost a reasonable amount of AP to revive someone, then survivors would "be too powerful" (in other words, have a chance at surviving). But consider the difference between a survivor and a zombie - it costs 20 AP to revive a survivor (finding or making a syringe and administering it), more AP to cure infection and bring the survivor to full health, and even then, the survivor must still collect weapons and ammo. All a zombie need do is stand up and he's at full health, with the highest possible cost to stand up being only 15AP, as opposed to the (at the very least) 23AP to get a Survivor back to that state. The Large Building argument I'll not bother with. It's better that buildings be realistic, but even inside of malls, barricades could be formed in real life (benches blocking walkways and such). Ruin is the biggest disparity. One zombie can break into a building, infect everyone in it, and destroy a generator, leaving plenty of time for other zombies to get inside and make the building unholdable because, unlike zombies, survivors have to gather ammo to have effective weapons. That means that unless a lone zombie breaks into a gun show, it can force out multiple survivors, and then ruin the building and camp to prevent it being fixed. Dakerstown is a perfect example, where metagaming Extinction organizes attacks and then camps the ruins. Survivors can't force them out because of number disparity (not to mention lack of ammo), so even if they do finally manage it, the AP cost to repair leaves them unable to fix it and have any hope of surviving. There's also the fact that a survivor running into a ruin gets them injured, but a zombie jumping to the outside of a ruin deals no damage. Free Running ends up making it MORE likely that you'll be easy prey for zombies if there's a ruin around, and why? Because apparently, ruining the inside of a building makes it impossible for a person to get inside AND makes it almost certain they'll break their leg falling to the ground outside.

The zombie apologists can complain about "Cades" as much as they want, but when close to half of all suburbs are either Very Dangerous or Ghost Towns, both starting-off survivors and even veteran survivors have little chance of cades holding for more than a few hours. You want balance? Give survivors the ability to tackle a zombie out the door for an HP penalty. That would give survivors a fighting chance. Franklin Castle 17:50, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

tl;dr pl0x? Also do not talk about Extinction being an effective horde given their track record --

You do know how rare it is for zombies to control more than half the map? On one of my medic-scouts the other day, I wandered outside to find some people who got locked out. There were four people standing outside in a 3x3 block radius, all of whom were at full health. And this isn't the first time I've run into these. I've seen countless green suburbs with a complete total of 0 zombies, including ones at revive points. Yellow/orange suburbs are more often than not far easier to get into, and make up the majority of the map. Zombies mean that cades will less likely be at EHB 24/7. Zombies mean people to heal, zombies to kill, DNA extract, revive. A zombie spawning anywhere is screwed unless they join up with a horde or manage to get lucky enough to find opened buildings until midgame. Also, this is a zombie apocalypse. The survivors aren't supposed to have a fighting chance. They should never outnumber the zombies. Human on human conflict is the center of anything in the zombie genre that is worth its salt. RinKou 21:53, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

1. Most of your points are either heavily opinionated, based off of personal experience, or rely on fallicious logic. The article reads as an anti-zombie rant; it bears little resemblance to a guide.--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 00:54, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
2. Giant fucking against. Are we playing the same game? 00:56, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

4. No way. The logic is off, the arguments are incorrect, and it would only serve to misdirect new players. —Aichon— 01:26, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
5. How is this even a guide?. True zombies start out with Vigour Mortis, and they are able to attack barricades, but how can they get inside without memories of life? This "guide" is just terrible.--Zaphord 01:56, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
6. Wow, this guy has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. You know, saying "Yes I have had a zombie character" doesn't support your anti-zombie screed when it's clear from what you say that you have never had a functioning zombie character. Spending an hour or two undead while your trenchy ass shambles over to the revive point doesn't count. You don't know that without Memories of Life, a zombie isn't getting into a building? You haven't noticed actual hit rates on barricades? You think a 100% accurate autokill strike is too expensive at 10 AP plus using up its item? The next time a zombie Winman1 complains about unfairness, you know they're he's lying. --Mold 01:58, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

19. You again?

    • "Zombie characters say that survivors have more advantages than them." - No, zombie characters do not say this, it's impossible to say in Death Rattle.
    • "Zombies start the game with Vigour Mortis which gives them the ability to start getting xp with no trouble." - Massive advantage.... because there are no survivor characters with the ability to gain XP straight away....
    • "Yes I have had a zombie character" - But have obviously never had a clue.
    • "Survivors have to find a reliably vsb building to hide in when they start the game." - Rubbish, there is no imperative at all to do this. Understand HIPS before you even think of making a response to this point. You also conveniently forget about the Scout class here.
    • "In addition, they must acquire free running before they can find ammunition or useful supplies" - Again forgetting about Scouts... Also, who's fault is it that all the malls are stupidly heavily barricaded? Would that be survivors? And are there no police departments, fire stations and hospitals at VSB? If there aren't, how did my survivors ever level?
    • "When I started an account as..." - Thank you for telling us that you're an idiot with no idea about how to play this game, but we already knew that. The private class is the easiest character to start and level with. On average I manage 18 levels with such a character in one month of playing, a zombie would be lucky to get a quarter of that XP in the same play conditions.
    • "A lot of zombies say that there are more survivors than zombies." - Nope, still can't say this as a zombie, not possible.
    • "I have a theory that at least 5% of survivor characters actually fight against survivors." - Your theory is wrong. It just is. But would you care to show your working at least? Tell me what numbers you crunched using your mere months of game experience to arrive at a nice round 5%?
    • "The majority of pkers are people that kill survivors." - As the term is used in this game all PKers kill survivors...
    • "survivors are also plagued by gkers whom destroy a survivor's most important resource, generators" - Generators are not a survivor's most important resource, needles are.
    • "Survivor speech was limited to 50 people. This messed up communication in crowded places" - Zombies did this to hurt survivors? I'm quite sure I remember it getting changed to save server load and stop the game actually breaking down.
    • "Revives cost 10AP. This gave zombies an advantage in situations where survivors need to revive large number of people. Most significantly in mall sieges zombies got an advantage from the increased AP cost of revives" - What a logical and well thought out idea... neatly avoiding the AP advantage of barricades...
    • "Large were fused buildings. Before, each block of a large structure was considered an independent structure. After this, once zombies break into one part of a large building such as a mall, the entire place is doomed." - What a hideous update that was, completely unrealistic. When I go to the mall I often have to go outside and around to get to another store. This is why malls are excellent military buildings that are often fortified in times of war...
    • "Now, you have to get rid of all zombies in a building to be able to barricade/repair it." - Neatly omitting that zombies have to remove all the survivors to gain the ruin in the first place and the massive difference in immediate AP to alter the two states.
    • "This Nerf kept Red suburbs red. Also, it completely destroyed survivor effectiveness in red suburbs." - Nope, idiot survivors being completely apathetic kept suburbs ruined. Go talk to 404 and go on holiday to a ruined suburb sometime.
    • "In addition ruins can break free running lanes" - Forgetting, of course, that such ruins act as entry points that get marked as such on the minimap...
    • "Flesh Rot. Zombies are then able to only have zombie skills yet still be effective against survivors." - ...as zombies needs to the qualifier here, a death cultist without harman skills is a bit pointless. You're also neglecting that Flesh Rot appears after Brain Rot, effectively locking the character into a more difficult manner of playing the game.
    • "Survivors however need zombie skills to be more effective." - Lies.
    • "The next time a zombie complains about unfairness, you know they're lying." - The next time you try and convince someone you know what you're talking about, everyone will know that you're lying.

    Come on! Normally I'd think you were a bit clueless and needed teaching, but this latest stream of vomit that you've infected my wiki with proves that you're just butthurt over not being able to be a one man army of awesome. Unfortunately this isn't due to the game mechanics, it's because the people you are playing against are just smarter than you. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 18:50, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

   | T | BALLS! | 07:48 10 November 2009(BST)

Against

1. Let's begin:

   • "Formatting - There must be no obvious formatting errors in the text. The guide must work in all major browsers. - Someone with other browsers can confirm this, however it does just turn into a mass of endless black and white hypnosis towards the middle.
   • "Accuracy - The guide must be accurate." - It's not. I'll explain later.
   • "Clarity - The guide must be easy to read, with no obvious spelling or grammar errors." - What do the following 'words' have in common? "stratagist", "Meatsheilding", "bu" and "alot". And that's before I get onto the grammar...
   • "since combat is what this game is built around" - No, it isn't. Take off your trenchcoat, grow up and learn something.
   • "zombies are actually the dominating faction" - The stats page disagrees with you.
   • "A few players advocate combat reviving to use against zombies, hoping they will decide to play survivor for an extended period of time. Combat reviving is based around that core idea which rarely works." - This line proves how truly stupid you are, go talk to The Big Prick or 404 and ask them if they combat revive so that zombies 'rediscover their humanity and learn the error of their ways'. It's got nothing to do with it, people should be intelligent enough to understand this before they write guides to try and instruct other players.
   • "Right now the horde seems to be moving southwest" - The horde? The horde? Like singular? We only have one?
   • "Binoculars and necrotech scans are your best friends." - No, they aren't.
   • "First, you must secure (secure means light and barricade to a proficient amount ) factories to acquire a decent generator source." - No, needle barns come first, they're the easiest building to defend and allow your group to replace casualties and soak massive amounts of opposition AP.
   • "Go to the zombie group's forum saying "I found this bunch of survivors hiding in (whatever the place is you plan to lure them to.)" - In the meta we have a word for this. That word is cheating. Impersonating someone to deceive is just as bad as impersonation to gain information.
   • "In any outcome zombies will be dazed at their loss, or surprised of survivor coordination, zombies will be slightly more careful when taking any information of survivors fearing it may be another ambush." - Never played as a zombie have you? Didn't think so. I love being told what my side will do by ignorant trenchies.
   • "Groups with these people use the hit and run tactic. " - Groups with these people die and become mrh? cows.
   • "Obviously zombies are watching survivor radio frequencies" - Obviously, not.
   • "Know the zombie, trick the zombie" - Yet you yourself don't 'know the zombie'.

   That's the initial pass at your 'guide'. To say it sucks would be offensive to catholic school girls (who do indeed suck). I wrote this for people like you, or idiots as I tend to call them. The very best thing you can do with your guide that will help survivors, yourself and the quality of this wiki is to go here, place a link to your guide followed by the words "Crit Seven" and then your signature. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 01:02, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

2. As above--Orange Talk 02:10, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
3. I am afraid this really is not a very well written guide. First, the grammar is rather hard to follow. There are many run-on sentences and fragments, which, combined with several minor spelling errors, make the guide appear rather unprofessional and difficult to read. Make sure to run your guide through a spell checker for errors, and read it aloud, so you can hear if it makes sense.

   Second, the advice goes against many accepted beliefs. The propaganda section is highly misleading- broadcasting anti-zombie slurs is generally considered spam, while spreading misinformation on opposing forums is considered a rude and underhanded tactic. Both behaviors demonstrate highly unsportsman-like attitudes. Furthermore, the tactics section is confusing to read and shows an incomplete understanding of the game. Luring zombies seldom works in practice, and attacking zombies outside is viewed by the survivor population as pointless, with the exception of gathering XP. The section on reclaiming buildings is also misleading and unclear- zombies inside of a building can drastically reduce the success rate of barricading, and you are vague on when it is appropriate to attack zombies.

   In its current state, this guide is both difficult to read and misleading in its advice. Read up on the wide array of survivor tactics, become knowledgeable in the nuances of the game, and collaborate with other users (Developing Guides) in order to insure high quality and accuracy. Do those and you will greatly increase the quality of the guide.--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 02:24, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Against

1. Overall, it's shaping up to be a nice beginner's guide. However, there are still a few major problems. The code boxes you're using cause the text to stretch off the page- this makes reading the guide difficult in places, and hurts the aesthetics. I reccomend you replace them with another form of bolding, such as, well, bold-face text ('''Text here'''). Second, the breakdown on skills places too much emphasis on the combat skills, without providing reasoning behind that method. You should outline the other forms of xp grinding, such as healing or DNA scanning, and give reasoning behind why new players should get the skill first (remember that for many scientists and civilians, healing is an equal or better strategy than gunning down zombies). You also do not outline how class choice affects skill costs, nor do you place free running on the go-get list; many veteran players consider this one of, if not the first skills a player should get. Finally, there are still several (minor) grammar and stylistic mistakes which distract from the guide. Make sure to read it out loud, and see if what you wrote makes sense. I'm sorry if I'm coming across as a bit hard-to-please, but this is looking like it could be a really great guide; I'm holding it, and you, to that higher standard (think of it as a compliment ;D).--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 02:14, 22 October 2009 (BST)

   Thanks for the box comment, I didn't even notice it did that. It's because I copied it over from the forum. I just fixed that, so if that's your biggest fault than I'd look at it again now.As for Free Running, I do mention it as important in more than one location. As for healing as a method of leveling, I admit that it's lacking in that department, however I've never really used that method so I'm not an authority on the process. I will admit that I should add a part about skill cost though, that just never crossed my mind. I can make said revisions rather quickly, so it shouldn't be a problem. As for spelling and grammar, again that can be quickly fixed, and also easily overlooked if you aren't searching for it. I appreciate the input --Rohndogg1 03:18, 22 October 2009 (BST)

   The aesthetics are much better now. However, I still feel you should elaborate the skills section; provide reasoning behind why players should follow your model. As for healing, the common process is to: hang around a VSB hospital, and either heal anyone who comes through (announce your willing ness to heal if you don't have diagnosis), or wander the suburb, looking for survivors sleeping outside or in other buildings that likely need healing. Buy diagnosis as soon as possible (then freerunning), and continue building skills. It's slower but safer than guns. You don't need to get into too much detail if you're uncertain, but it warrents mention as a viable alternative to shooting. You're getting there!--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 03:30, 22 October 2009 (BST)

Guide: Zoe Gorefest's Guide for The Career PKer

Guide relating to player killing

For

1. Well - written, and the images complement the guide nicely. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:38, 29 June 2009 (BST)
2. It could use additional info on darkened buildings (many PKers hide there now) but an overall excellent article. Also I think the Fallout images should be removed. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 17:23, 29 June 2009 (BST)

Guides:Real-Time Fighting

Guide about fighting in real time

For

1. It had to be addressed somewhere. Again, like all of the old guides there needs to be an update on fighting in darkened buildings, but good nonetheless. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 17:36, 29 June 2009 (BST)
2. Good guide, as Giles.-- Adward  18:10, 29 June 2009 (BST)

9. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 03:16, 7 July 2009 (BST)

Against

1. The only practical reason for a survivor to participate in a R/T fight is when defending a building, and this doesn't cover that, at all. And a zombie in a R/T fight is at a real disadvantage (unless the survivor has something to stay and fight for) because he can't follow inside usually -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 12:14 30 June 2009 (BST)
2. Why participate in real-time fighting outside? If you are XPing, then use your AP killing said opponent till you have no AP/HP then go inside. As zombie, stand there attacking. Otherwise, don't do it. Simple. That's my outisde RT fighting guide. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 15:47, 30 June 2009 (BST)

1. Good article. --WanYao 07:35, 30 June 2009 (BST)
2. I do like this. Simply and to the point. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 15:52, 30 June 2009 (BST)

Against

1. This is actually a pretty good article. But the same info is organized in greater detail in Guides:Meta-Careers.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 06:33, 30 June 2009 (BST)

   You are against an article because there is a different guide which you think is better? D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 15:52, 30 June 2009 (BST)

   "You are against an article because there is a different guide (covering the same subject) which you think is better?" Yes. Why feature multiple articles on the same subject laying out the same info over and over again? Choose the best and go with it.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 21:40, 30 June 2009 (BST)

2. Doesn't explain/compare the differences between pure killing, and FAKing up. This isn't giving alternative builds, it's telling you what build this guy thinks is best, a private using firearms (and if you don't choose that, then how to make your choice into a firearm specialist) -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 12:08 30 June 2009 (BST)

Relating to player killing in a siege

For

1. The QSG has a clue. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:38, 29 June 2009 (BST)

Against

1. Fuck no--Bonghit420 18:16, 29 June 2009 (BST)

   This should be common since. No guide needed for this, just avoid people who act like this.--Bonghit420 18:28, 29 June 2009 (BST)

Guides:Meta-Careers

About the role one plays within the game.

For

1. An obsessively organized analysis of the different career paths. I'm not sure it's useful to new players but it's just loaded with info. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 17:42, 29 June 2009 (BST)

Against

1. I just don't think this guide teaches anyone anything of value. --xoxo 09:22, 30 June 2009 (BST)
2. The Zombie bit is cool but the Survivor bit is a little silly, it should really be a third the size, at leased. It's teaching survivors that there are many careers, 75% of which are boring and uninspiring. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 15:56, 30 June 2009 (BST)
