Who is Rosslessness?

Let see, I'm a long term wiki user, who's been playing the game for 16 years. My approach is a lot more numbers based than most, and some say it's a less fun approach. I helped lead Monroeville's most serious Zombie Horde and was one of the last 40 Survivors alive in Borehamwood. Unfortunately I then requested that Kevan Implement Snow and I was tracked down and eaten by a feral less than 24 hours later. Stupid footprints.

In my time I was in Borehamwood I discovered game breaking bugs and got them fixed almost immediately, whilst in Malton I like exposing the odd zerger. In the long term I've come up far more schemes than I could possibly implement in the game, so if you want a good suggestion on where to set up a survivor group, or a terrible one on how to win a mall siege I'm your man.

Random other facts? Um, I wrote the Harbour Master Missions in Zombie Pandemic. True story. Also I was the top ranked player in the World of the Living Dead closed beta. I stick to my genres. Those games? All dead now.

On the wiki, I kind of started up the whole Question thing on promotion bids. So I apologise. Also, there's something else I'm associated with. I have no idea why.

These days, I'm normally here
