Profile of Characters
- Eluctor is a medic currently in north East Grayside and now has a fireaxe and plans to use it. But he hasn't yet found a reliable source of zombies to bash on, so continues to spend time exploring. He also keeps getting locked out of buildings when it is sleepytime and then spending time at revival points...
- Generos is a firefighter currently in Kempsterbank.
- Zopyrus is a zombie currently in Osmondville. He excited to be young and animated and eager to explore the cuisine he occasionally sees walking around -- but not often enough. There are far too many other nasty zombies and not enough tasty survivors around.
Jerks that Kill at Revival Points
I'm getting tired of being bashed when I've gone zombie and I'm waiting at a revival point that clearly states on the wall "Revival point! Don't Kill!" So I'm gonna start keeping a list of the assholes. In the unlikely event that I run across any of 'em, I'm going to engage in some PKing.
- deathbot6sick6 - Level 18 Military - player id 1079219
- Genii - Level 1 Civilian - player id 1539500
- King Arthar - Level 6 Civilian - player id 1519132
- God Damn Commies - ironically, a Lieutenant in S.T.A.R.S., which supposedly hunts down those that do this.

There seems to be a lot of wrack and ruin around. I suspect there is a tipping point beyond which zombies will predominate; I wonder if anyone has ever attempted some form of simulation? All of the revive points seem to be packed with zombies waiting for a smaller and smaller number of those capable of helping.

So Eluctor is sitting peacefully at an official revive point after my latest bout with being dead, and some idiot who thinks he tough comes by for a gratuitous head-shot. Thanks, player "God Damn Commies" -- you're a jerk.

I'm playing with the idea of creating a template to describe prescribed barricade levels. Check my Sandbox page.

I'm actually running three characters in the game, since the first one (a medic) taught me that a beginning character has so little skill and power that the game isn't very interesting. (Three characters also properly accommodates the IP hit limit.)
I mean:
while (bored for days on end) {
wander from a protected haven trying to find some_zombies;
while (ap > apRequiredForCommuteHome ) {
hit zombies with fists doing almost no damage and getting almost no points;
}
run back home;
}
If a newbie character is using only fists (10% chance of doing 1 damage), wouldn't it take something like 1000 hits to earn the 100XP to upgrade? Given that twenty AP are probably set aside for commuting to the action, that leaves thirty AP per day for hitting Zeds. So roughly 33 days of repeating that? Sheesh. So I tried with another character, a fireman. Better: an axe means a 10% chance of 3 points damage; for regular civilians that cuts the time down to about eleven days. But a firefighter starts with Axe Proficiency, so gets a 25% chance of 3 points damage, which should mean it takes less than five days to earn that first 100XP. Then I decided to run one character as a zombie, what the heck. I'll keep all three characters widely separated.

Trying to find some action? I discovered that a Danger Map exists and helps. Its creation appears to be automated — I'd cringe to think that it would have to be manually checked and updated. The fact that the game and the wiki share a domain name is, I think, a clue: the creators have integrated the wiki's ability to report on the game much better than most wiki/game symbionts.
Generos thanks SA Seeley Booth for the FAK.

I'm new here. Don't know if I'll be here long, I'm looking into a number of games. I forget whether a wiki somehow automatically informs a user when there's activity on their talk page, so if not I might not notice anything put here. Anyway... [Yes, it does, BTW]
