NOTE: This is an in-game movement. It is not a Wiki Policy or an official rule of the game.

The information on this page or section discusses a survivor strategy.

Why no random revives?

With the surge in popularity of groups like the DOA you are not only doing yourselves a disservice, but also every other survivor in Malton when you revive at random. There are several revive request tools available that allow you to see the profile of the person you are reviving. This prevents you from reviving a known PKer or generator killer and keeps the syringes available to those people that will be acting in the interest of survivors.

Example

This is an example why you shouldn't randomly revive zombies:

Because you might revive an ungrateful Feral Undead member, who went on a player-killing and generator-destroying rampage. At least one survivor was killed and two generators in the area were destroyed as a result.

The zombie-turned-saboteur put it better himself:

"So I was standing around outside, minding my own business, and <revivor's name withheld to prevent extreme embarrassment>1 randomly revived me. I wasn't even at a revive point. You can thank him for this display of senseless violence. ;D"

1 You can see names of the zombie, the revivor, and the victim, in the linked record anyway. So it's actually pointless to withheld them.

Did Invisible Hikikomori have it in his profile that he didn't want to be revived? If not, I humbly suggest that he should STFU. Furthermore, I could make an argument that the day he stops killing survivors who don't want to be dead is the day he should start whining about being revived against his will. Yes, it is easier to revive zombies against their will, but it is also easier for dedicated zombie players to return to their preferred state. I choose not to make this argument, as I myself find it only slightly convincing. --Cman yall 04:51, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Disadvantages

  • The policy makes obtaining a revive more difficult for players who do not metagame.
  • Some players may like the surprise of random revivals, especially those who play both sides. (see The Opportunists and Dual Nature Policy)
  • Some players also debate that this goes against RPing, see discussion for the discussion.

PKers

The DEM Revivification Request tool denotes reported PKers with a current bounty get a thick green border, allowing those with a current bounty to be easily identified in the RevReq tool. Serial killers get a wide, bright green border. We request you consider not reviving PKers with a current bounty. Past PKers will get a thin dark red border around their entry.

How can I help?

Take advantage of the tools provided by the community that address this problem. These tools allow NT skilled survivors to select specific indivduals for revivification after reviewing the requesters profile. For those who prefer not to metagame, the DNA scanner now allows NT techs to view a zombies profile, thus allowing at least some discrimination in who you choose to revive. One of the biggest things you can do is helping to spread the word!
