Naming

I'd suggest moving this one to Street Treats. This page is literally the only place I've ever heard the term 'street candy' used for this concept, but 'street treats' comes up all the time. Anyone else find this, or is it just me? Nothing to be done! 20:09, 29 March 2010 (BST)

Sling it on Move Requests. If there's no oppositiion Ill switch them in a day or so. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 20:09, 29 March 2010 (BST)

So....

How often can you expect to see these? I recently came upon my first one myself, and quickly began spreading the joy of barhah. It seems rather rare to find someone sleeping on the streets, however. How often have you seen it? Corpulent Meatsack 04:58, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

It depends on the area. Major factors are:
  1. The number of zombies. More zombies mean that street treats get faster eaten, so you get to see less of them.
  2. The number of viable spawning points (lit VSB TRPs as firestations, hospitals or PDs are good for this). Many treats are newbs who haven't yet understood the importance of sleeping inside.
  3. The amount of overcading in the area. More overcading means that people have more trouble finding an entry point, and might be forced to sleep outside.
That being said, I see most treats in the SW surburbs from South Blythville to New Arkham. (Very green, very lit and very overcaded by the trenchies who have to sleep in EHB+138 fortresses against the three zambahz or so who live there.) Occassionally, I see them also around Buckley Mall. In all other areas, not so much. -- Spiderzed 16:13, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Someone should tell those trenchies body armor can't stop teh zambahs. Poor guy thought it would be safe for him if he shot me down and promptly passed out in the nearest cemetary. Don't they know that death is at best an inconvienence for zed kind? Corpulent Meatsack 23:21, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
