Discussion (Location Specific Actions)
Why? What are all the actions, and can zombies with memories of life do them as well? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:34, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
You can dance in nightclubs, you can drink in pubs and searching in a mall is the same thing as shopping (Don't believe me? Go shopping with a woman for the right dress, searching for the Holy Grail would be quicker). The only difference is that you want others to be able to see you are performing the action, which makes this a dupe of the /me command that should be in PR. --

- I'm on the fence here. First off, zombies should have the options to also perform location specific actions. Secondly, the actions shouldn't be genre breaking. I don't want to break into a club as a zombie and see everyone break-dancing. Or fire a shotgun into a horde of zombies standing at a park only to find out they are gardening peacefully.
- But, if you can keep it in-genre, and make sure zombies and survivors would have actions, I might get on board.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 12:46, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- Zombies? Gardening?

I support this idea, but don't think it's likely to pass; people aren't fans of pure flavor. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 16:57, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- I'm a little torn. I don't see it as bad. According to the Zombie Survival Guide, survivors SHOULD keep themselves entertained. But in Urban Dead, doing things like that just kind of implies that the zombie conflict isn't dangerous enough. If survivors have time to "goof off" with things like dancing.... But hey, if there are zombie actions too, I'd probably vote keep.--Pesatyel 21:49, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- See a lot of long-term zombie movies? Whenever the survivors hunker down somewhere they think is safe, they almost always try to dance, drink, joke, or sex themselves up; the more stressful a situation, the more people want to try to relax and forget about it. Zombie dancing would rule. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 22:28, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- Depends on how bad the movie is lol. All that is needed is a list of actual "things you can do".--Pesatyel 05:33, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I am all in favor of this suggestion with the following conditions:
- Available to zombie with MoL
- Some kind of flavour text like, "You are in Club Bolt. There are 6 survivors here and 3 zombies here. Two of the survivors and one of the zombies appear to be dancing."
- Flavor action stops as soon at the character does anything other than speak
That being said, I think this is some great flavour. Just make sure you add the specific actions to the suggestion for each building type before you take it to voting. --Maverick Talk - OBR 404 05:31, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Just like to note, it seems to me that you all seem to assume that I have said that Zombies couldn't do location specific actions. I didnt say they couldn't I just hadn't considered the possibility. But I suppose it makes sense. I'll suggest it now. Cookies and Cream 12:08, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- We made that "assumption" because your suggestion said "Scope: humans". But yeh, it looks like there could be some support if MoL granted the same flavor actions.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 15:05, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
hehehehe,zombies attemping to breakdance.You have my support.--Kralion 14:53, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
I like it. :) I'm more in favor of specific actions at specific locations than a general "things you can do", and for actions for zombies with MoL. --Pnakotus 23:42, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
I think izzy's dupe is loose at best, and support British mansions because the game is supposedly in Britain. Lelouch vi Britannia is helping make Ridleybank green_ and gives Achievements 19:17, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
