Suggestion type
Zombie Skill

Suggestion scope
All zombies

Suggestion description
A new, simple skill for all zombie players.

Face in the Crowd (Player gets +1% to hit for every 5 zombies in the same block as them.)

I think it generally makes zombies more dangerous in hordes, as they should be. It is also fairly realistic, as survivors would have less places to run to when dodging zombies' attacks, if in the middle of a giant horde. Finally, I don't think it's too overpowered, because even in a crowd of another 100 zombies, you only get +20% to hit. This skill would only work with zombies, so survivors' hit chances remain unaltered, even with 100 other survivors in the same block.

Keep Votes

1. Keep - Good idea. Good reason for Zombies to stay in groups without metagaming 'tardation.--

   RE: - Yeah, my point exactly. Even low-level zombies should be strong against barricades in fairly large groups —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BlueSpurt (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

2. Keep- I like it. Fits in with how we think of zombies, and how they should be. it will definetly make the game more realistic. --Justinbronze 07:44, 2 August 2009 (BST)
3. Keep- I also think this is a good idea. Newbies currently have nothing to gain by being in a group (due to the fact that they make more XP hunting alone), so this is a good way for new players to learn the ropes. New players need all the help they can get. - Chekken 07:29, 2 August 2009 (BST)
4. Keep - Yeah. --ϑϑℜ 07:39, 2 August 2009 (BST)
5. Keep You cheepity cheep cheeps.-- High Overlord and Lead Conspirator of the Administrative Rebellion. Want help? 18:15, 2 August 2009 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. STRONG Kill - "you only get +20% to hit." Only?? --Haliman - Talk 04:29, 2 August 2009 (BST)

   RE: - But how often is it that there are more than 50 odd zombies in one block, even during a siege? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BlueSpurt (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

2. Kill - please use Developing Suggestions. Zombies already get a big bonus for hording into buildings, in that survivors are blocked from re-barricading more and more often, the more zombies get inside. This strikes me as dupish also, and a 20% bonus is a huge increase -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 05:08 2 August 2009 (BST)
3. Kill - The concept seems interesting, but it fails the basic "multiply by a millon" rule. It has potential, but in its current form it seems a little overpowered. --Uberursa 05:38, 2 August 2009 (BST)
4. Kill - I might agree to this, but if and only if survivors got a similar bonus for huge groups of zombies facing them. I mean really, I am surrounded by a hundred zombies they get an accuracy bonus of 20% yet I only have a 65% chance to hit with my gun?? With a hundred zombies in front of me? What am I shooting at the rest of the time, the sky? -Devorac 06:22, 2 August 2009 (BST)
5. Kill - As above. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 07:23, 2 August 2009 (BST)
6. Weak Kill - if it was only 5%, maybe, but 20% is far too high. Makes claws as good as guns, without the need to search for ammo. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:41, 2 August 2009 (BST)
7. No, lacks logic. Why does being in a crowd grant accuracy? Surely it would reduce accuracy as you struggle to get to your target, all those in the crowd with you hindering your movement, disrupting your swings as you try to attack your target. - User:Whitehouse 08:18, 2 August 2009 (BST)
8. Kill - Devorac nailed it. Cyberbob  Talk  08:28, 2 August 2009 (BST)
9. Kill - As Devorac.--Thadeous Oakley 10:07, 2 August 2009 (BST)
10. Kill - Horrific. --Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 11:38, 2 August 2009 (BST)
11. Kill - holy shit no --THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks ^{Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS LOE ZHU | Яezzens} 11:54, 2 August 2009 (BST)
12. Kill - As Devorac; Either make my siege shotty a guaranteed hit or stop talking to me about how hordes effect hit chances. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 17:46, 2 August 2009 (BST)
13. Kill - What are the other zombies doing? Throwing you at the human??? Yeah, very realistic... User:Armpit_Odor/sig

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Dupe - I'm not going to look, but I'm 99% sure you can find others... if not they never got off the disscusion page.--Ryvyoli ^{Y R} 08:28, 2 August 2009 (BST)
2. Spam I'm fairly certain this a dupe as well. Beyond that, it fails both the multiply it by a billion AND the don't give it away for free ideas. For a group of zombies that ONLY had Vigor Mortis and Death Grip, it would only take 250 zombies for EVERY zombie to max out to a full 100% to hit. Ignoring Tangling Grasp too. Not to mention that all barricade attacks would be 50% successful. For each zombie. And even converts would be able to bite at 60% and claw at 75%. Think 250 sounds like a lot? If I recall some of the mall tours were DOUBLE that. "how often is it that there are more than 50 odd zombies in one block, even during a siege?" You better believe that, if they can get too 100% to hit....they will.--Pesatyel 08:35, 2 August 2009 (BST)

Voting Rules

Current Suggestions Advice to Suggesters Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes. Advice to Voters You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam). It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.

Rules for Discussions Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20090802 Face in the Crowd). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit. Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page. Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions. Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks. Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied. Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion. Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied. Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}} Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.

Invalid Votes Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide. X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others. Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.

Comments Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting. Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.

All Caps Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
