Duck Hunt
Do you still plan on running the Duck Hunt event? If I run an event starting the second week of February, will it interfere with your plans? ~ 17:18, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Manhunt Interview
So the interview is located here and here. Feel free to change how you want your name to be represented or anything else in your answers. I went with Ross because I don't like typing a lot. I might change the order around a little and how much is on the main page, and how much spills over, but for the most part it will look like this. Thanks again for all your help.
I stole your Manhunt Marathon image because it seems to be the current "big thing" in Manhunt. If you would like us to promote a different Manhunt event, please feel free to change the image or the text underneath the image. Or if you don't, we can erase it as well. -MHSstaff 18:57, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Mudkip Hunt
There's a week left, so this is to remind you to meet at The Roger Arms, Penny Heights if alive, or Junkyard 98,76 if dead, Penny Heights, 3 days before the competition begins. DJSpinbad will be at that location to confirm you are there when the competition begins. Those who do not arrive will be disqualified. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 20:31, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Arby
Oh,... I have to tell him about the arbitration for it to be taken seriously? -EstacadoTalk 23:50, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- While the wiki community attempts to work on the basis of encouragement and cooperation, there are occasions where wiki users find themselves unable to reach accord. In the event of this happening, the Arbitration Team may be called upon to intervene, and attempt to find a reasonable compromise that, while perhaps not satisfying both parties, may at least assist in defusing the situation, thanks to the unbiased third party. Show me anywhere you tried to reach accord on this. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 11:10, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Was just looking around
I was doing some reading, and it looks like the Battle of Krinks was due for un-protecting awhile ago. Mind you, I'm mentioning it here, rather than on A/PT, because I'm not filing a formal request to have it un-protected. I'm merely pointing out that it was due as a courtesy of sorts, but if I had my druthers, I'd just leave it protected indefinitely since I'd rather not see that can of worms reopened again. —Aichon— 04:48, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

- I'm happy to re-evaluate him. I'm willing to assume the brain explosions he's had in the last few days were just a product of the stress of exams, he said he'd have some around this time, same shit happened to me on wiki all the time. As for the checkuser, he usually has the good sense to back down when he's told en masse that he's wrong, like the incident when he complained about you. I don't think the community wants him out just yet, so I'm for cycling it as successful for sure. You can do it if you like, I might when I get home. -- LEMON #1 00:42, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

An Fak?
What? Fak, fak is both singular and begins with a Fer sound (as in rhymes with flak.) as opposed to an ef sound. Unless he's calling it an F.A.K. it should be A fak. Although the an H. thing is probably correct. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 02:21, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
- "Acronyms read letter-by-letter in most of the world."[1] I pronounce it 'fack' as well, but it is an acronym, and we don't want to leave out the clusless newbs who don't get the 'FAK yourself' joke and think it's just an innocent abbreviation. --VVV RPMBG 02:28, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
- Acronym. FAK. Eff-Ay-Kay. As a one-syllable word, it would be fak, or Fak. H thing is correct if the letter is pronounced aitch, though it's usually pronounced haitch over here. 02:30, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
- Only by fools. And no one in the world uses the phrase "F.A.K." Its a Fak. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 02:34, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Sysop-ing
Is going well. Not a lot of drama at the moment (not that I miss it). I just noticed that when I was speedy'ing pages that sometimes the deletion comment was filled in and sometimes not. I thought maybe it had something to do with deleting from the page its history page (I'm making sure to check history before each deletion) but that does not seem to be the case. It happens sometimes when deleting normally. Just an oddity, I suppose. ~ 20:30, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

A hypothetical question...
Yo. Just appealing to your knowledge of all things wiki here. If I were hacking on yet another UD toy, and I wanted some wiki page automatically updated from me own server, would it be okay to create a wiki user who would not actually be a person, but a robot, which would edit some page or pages under its own wiki user space once a day?

Have just seen that you have deleted them, probably as part of the vandalism by the suspected Cornhole sockpuppets. However, they are on the stats page. Unless Cornhole has really worked on his alt army, it's maybe someone else? -- Spiderzed▋ 13:15, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- Reading the contents of the page (check recent changes) with its naming of corn specifically I'm fairly confident. Plus his targetting of A/A A/VB, the user pages of users specifically involved in the battle of Krinks, Krinks itself, groups involved in the battle of krinks, his history of zerging, his use of open proxies and my own gut feeling, I'm sure that its very easy for Corn to create ten alts.

thadeous oakley
Oh yay, now we get to have this discussion. Here's my piece: community is pretty divided, I am very surprised to note the gnomes being in support of mistergame en masse and the others mostly against, thought it would be a bit more opposite. Like earlier, personally I don't have a problem with promoting thadeous, he's demonstrated to the community the exact type of user he would be as an op and most of the regulars are more than happy with that. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 05:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- Let me go away and think about this. I have my concerns. As for that other thing you Emailed me about, I have no problem with you pursuing it, although I'm apathetic. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- Okay good. I didn't intend for help, just an opinion on it. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 12:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, out of interest, how do you personally check to see if an IP is a proxy?? -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 12:15, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- IP Checker sites. There's also a couple of sites that set up pages and records IP's that are linked with spammers. Google in some cases. Technology is pretty easy. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- O.k. My concern is that Thads contributions to the wiki are wide but shallow. He gets involved with everything, but rarely takes a "leadership" role in creating stuff. His big project of the year appears to be a table listing promotion bids in order. If you compare his bid with say, the last successful bid, the support received is less, the community, is split. There are outstanding concerns. You want to promote him? Maybe. Convince me one way or the other. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:31, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm indifferent either way, but I'd like to be assured your views are more a reflection of the communities' say than your personal opinion. As I've said on the bid, I'm personally not exactly convinced he'd make a reliable sysop but the vouches predominantly come from people like me who have seen Thad's whole portfolio from the start, and none of that seems to bother them.
- Do I think promoting him under these circumstances is pretty crappy? Personally I think it is a bit. I think there tends to be a lowering of standard by the community, for a user who runs for the second or third time or so, and coming from a person that just did more for his second bid, I'm a bit disappointed by it but now I'm just being a bitch. I've seen users promoted with less support, and rejected with more support. Up to us and I don't mind either way but you have veto power if you feel it's within reason to use it, and unless its in extreme cases, I'll always be more than happy to respect it. As should Thad if he wants to maturely consider the position a possibility in the future. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 12:58, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- Just to conclude because I realised I never actually made a decision. Essentially I'm for, but still, the above shit I wrote is very important in explaining my reasoning. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 13:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- Hell, if it was my opinion I'd just flat out say no! I hate to say it, but some people's votes hold more weight with me than others. I'm swung very strongly be Spiderzeds vote, and much less so by C Whitty. And his answer to my final question about leadership could have well been replaced by a mudkip and been as useful. The sysop community is split, and if it wasn't for a few votes by people I think are amazing wikizens I feel we wouldn't be having this discussion. But anyway. Personally its a no from me, but a fair number of people want to give him a go. Frankly. (And its completely without precedent) I'd love to give him the position and re-evaluate his ass in three months. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 13:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

The sysop community is split, and if it wasn't for a few votes by people I think are amazing wikizens I feel we wouldn't be having this discussion. But anyway.

- O.k. My concern is that Thads contributions to the wiki are wide but shallow. He gets involved with everything, but rarely takes a "leadership" role in creating stuff. His big project of the year appears to be a table listing promotion bids in order. If you compare his bid with say, the last successful bid, the support received is less, the community, is split. There are outstanding concerns. You want to promote him? Maybe. Convince me one way or the other. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:31, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I hear all sorts of accusations about the borehamwood survivors and their zombie pets, I guess that the usual smoke and no fire rountine. I think any side that had a TAAK on it will get accused of zerging ;), thats probably the only influence he has had on the game.

Probationary Sys-Op
Didn't want to bring that up while the bid discussion still runs, as it could be seen as me mingling with things that are none of my business. But that one got me thinking:
Rosslessness said: |
I'd love to give him the position and re-evaluate his ass in three months. |
I think some Sys-Op on Probation clause with a shortened tenure could serve a valuable purpose to cover disputed cases as Thad's or Cheese's RE. Rather than to just have the options of "Yes, and now we are stuck with you for 8 friggin' months" or "No, and now bugger off to re-apply in a half year", a "Yes, but you better do well the next three months" could give the crats a middle-ground option and especially help with candidates who promise future activity.
Would of course need some more bells and whistles to avoid abuse like repeated Probationary Sys-Op tenures, but before I put it up on A/PD, I better plug you current crats to see if you think that it would be a worthwhile idea. (DDR is free to chime in here - didn't send him a separate message as I expect him to watch your talk anyway, and to cut down on the risk of the same discussion being led in two separate places at once.) -- Spiderzed▋ 21:15, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

- It's an interesting idea... but I would rather limit the powers of "probationary sysops", than to force early reevaluations on them. Perhaps they can get all the buttons, but don't get a say on A/VB and A/M cases? They can still do all the janitorial work of sysops, and if they want to have a say in the drama beds later on (after your suggested 3 months, perhaps) they can do so through the reevaluation process. Not all "probies" might want the extra powers/responsibilities, and can remain at the probationary level if they wish
But basically, I don't think that more frequent reevaluations is the way to go (even if it's just once). Major problems can be handled via misconduct, minor problems, well they are the lifeblood of the wiki (where would we be without teh drama? ), and we just get on with it -- boxy talk • teh rulz 00:32 13 February 2011 (BST)- This would be better than the forced A/RE. A/RE will just make newer sysops weaker and be more inclined to just be crowd pleasers rather than be bold ops, which sometimes is necessary. The first few months are pretty unfamiliar and difficult anyway. It'd make it too much of a popularity contest imo. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 00:54, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- My thought on PSO was less to make probation dependent on being new, but rather on being disputed - essentially, a "yes, but" card for cases when community input is unclear. Completely new ops might be more often heavily disputed than those who've already served a tenure and have shown that they know the ropes - but not always, as most recently seen with Vapor, who was overall well-accepted despite being new. I can see some merit in a buffer between promotion and power over the drama sections for certain new op candidates, but for RE (as in, say, Cheese's RE), it wouldn't really make sense. -- Spiderzed▋ 01:23, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- Cheese's A/RE wasn't really such a big issue though, ross and I agreed on the demotion and there was little response from the community that would suggest it was a wholly unwanted decision. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 02:04, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- I don't like the idea of singling out "dodgy" sysop applicants, and telling them they are under suspicion. If they're dodgy enough to warrent special attention, then the 'crats should just reject -- boxy talk • teh rulz 07:12 13 February 2011 (BST)
- I agree with this. If sysops were probationary, it would be for every new promotion, not just those that were "dodgy". Simply put I'd change the re-evaluation policy to read. "After their initial promotion all sysops would be probationally reviewed after 3 months." --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 09:59, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- I still think that's a slightly shitty idea. Making them accountable for their first 3 months is not a good thing. We shouldn't be encouraging sysops to keep a low profile or keep out of opinionated discussions where (or too an extent that) they may be needed, for fear of being seen as 'unworthy'. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 13:12, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- Cheese was IMHO heavily contested between those who had no hope in his activity improving, and the optimists who assumed he could make a Rocky-like return. But that's just an arbitrary example that could as well be replaced by Yon's RE (where recognition of his janitorial workload conflicted with the checkuser incident and some weird A/VB drama). -- Spiderzed▋ 22:25, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Interesting. We have now two completely different ideas floating around (shortened tenure vs all buttons, no opinion page say), and two different trigger ideas (compulsory for new ops vs option for disputed candidates). Don't think that I'll get everyone on the same page looking at that, so for now at least I will refrain from pursuing that idea further. -- Spiderzed▋ 22:25, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I decided to scope out the Hospital cluster in Pegton. Sure enough, where the cades are VSB, dozens of baby docs. Just next door where the cades are EHB, not so much. I'm going to keep an eye on it until its time to head off to AHMH4. As far as the guide, do you plan to expand on it as this experiment progresses? I think there is a lot more potential for the guide but I don't want to shoot it down just because I think its incomplete. If you're going to actively update it then swing my vote to definite support. ~ 04:47, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
axe hack
What are your thoughts on axe hack? I'm fine with promoting him, although personally I think if the content in his bid is anything to go by, he's going to make a really, really garbage sysop when it comes to drama (see: "I work on FACTS" statement then his complete ignoring of facts like TOU and our "pornography as vandalism" clause so he can spout precedence from wikipedia.

- The only way I know is to use the ~~~~~ (5 tildes instead of 4) to make the timestamp only, and put that in your code, then you have to sign with ~~~ (3 tildes), so it just shows your signature without adding a timestamp, but since the timestamp code is in the signature, it gets put down anyway, and hence you can modify the look of it to suit your needs.

Hey Ross, could you pop on the IRC channel when you get a chance, please? Thanks! --BOSCH 20:22, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Hey Ross.
Found this a bit ago; thought you might find it useful.
Been using it to update a couple places.
Thought about making new location templates for buildings I included on my submissions...I dunno. Do you think it's necessary?
Edit: Hmph...for some reason, when I mistype the page name, it creates the page, but when I type it correctly, there's no link at all. --TheBardofAwesome 05:58, 28 March 2011 (BST)
- It's because it is a category. When you type it correctly, you are actually adding the talk page to the Fake Location Template category. You need to do it like this: [[:Category:Fake Location Templates|Fake Location Templates]]. Basically, add another colon before the category name. I went ahead and fixed it for you.

NecroNet clarification?
A question - the NecroNet scans only count zombies that haven't taken a step since they were last scanned, right? The DNA Extractor wiki entry seems to imply this, and friggin' common sense tells me that's how it works, since you get to rescan a zombie every time it moves from a space (or even moves from it, then back to it). But it's never explicitly stated that that's how the NecroNet works. (The NecroNet wiki entry is even more useless on this matter than the DNA Extractor entry).
Does it do something other than this? Like maybe consider a zombie to still be on the square it was last scanned, until a) the zombie is rescanned again, b) the zombie dies, c) the server resets, d) other, e) any combination of the above? Why isn't something so rudimentary as this clearly stated in either of these main entries????
And...err...I'm assuming that NecroNet doesn't follow the steps of a scanned zombie as it walks around the suburb. (Based on the fact that the wiki entry says the DNA Extractor uploads the coordinates of the zombie, not the zombie itself). Still, would do any harm to actually just say that in the entry? I was about to add a sentence, but figured I should probably get a second opinion (and confirmation that I actually assumed correctly) first. :/ --Jen 21:57, 20 August 2011 (BST)
- For that matter, the wiki says is that it can't be scanned again until it takes "an action." Is this really the case? I didn't think stuff like groaning or hitting something could reset the scan. (And what about going into a building or out of a building? The coordinates are the same, but does it count as a resetting move?)--Jen 22:09, 20 August 2011 (BST)
- Here's some discussion, the standard used to be extractor reset at 1 BST. There was some belief that that was changed and the page was probably updated based on that but I've never seen proof of that claim. Necronet resets on extractor changes iirc, otherwise it's possible that the scans are by location when scanned then reset at day change since that'd make more practical sense. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 05:29, 22 August 2011 (BST)

History preservation
Hey I tested the export page function. We can just categorize any page that we want to preserve and export them all at once. Just categorize anything you want to save as Category:Pages to Preserve and one of us (or all of us if we want) can use Special:Export to save it. It's just a matter of determining which pages we want to preserve. ~ 18:23, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

- Yeah I did Misconduct. I'd hate to lose the history of Grim coup or Wikigate. Spidey did VB archives. Those were the only two admin pages where it seemed worth the effort. Now it's high traffic or highly vandalised pages we're trying to decide on. I don't think it will be too earth shattering if we lose too much but it will be nice to hang on to some things. ~ 21:44, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

- Kevan said it would only be stuff older than one year so it's not likely going to be an issue. I'd still like to back up my contribs if I can. Contibs is tied to history, though and so when history is wiped so are contribs. I may do something with copypasta or page source.

The ghost town problem
Ok, I'm sending this to you, because it seems you're the only sysop here with an IQ higher than 80. I've been updating the status rapport of Dakerstown recently. Please take a look at it here, and notice how it hasn't been changed since medio 2009, when Urban Dead had twice as many players as it has now. Note that at Ghost town it says "At least 2/3 of the suburb's buildings either empty of Survivors or Ransacked/Ruined AND max 60 zombies in suburb and no zombie groups above 10." I've made a quick calc based on the stats page which says right now there are 5942 standing survivors. That gives an average of 59,42 survivors per suburb. This means that - according to the present rules - it's fairly easy for a suburb to become a ghost town, and there probably are a lot more of them than the suburbs page says. I don't know the average number of buildings per suburb, I mean, in theory we could be good, but practically there could be over 20 ghost towns right now. If you tell me how many buildings Malton has I'll make another calc and make an advise.
Also there are just a little over 3000 standing zombies in Malton, so 30 per suburb on average. That problem is even more severe than the survivor problem, because there can be only 50 suburbs with 60 zombies. That means that there's a big chance that suburbs marked red now are actually ghost town as well.
In my opinion ghost town should be an exception, not a rule. Thanks --Generaloberst 18:35 9 December, 2011 (UTC)

Status dakerstown
Hi, I saw you edited Dakerstown back to yellow. Can you confirm it is yellow? Is 2/3rds of all buildings filled with survivors? I highly doubt it since it's not so long ago since we ruined it. Generaloberst 15:42, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Well, it wasnt dangerous - Zombies inside many resource buildings; OR hostile mobs of 50+, so I picked the level I felt best reflected the overall situation. As said in discussion, theres a lot of dispute to be had. --Like Moss and The Dude..... 17:19, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Ok so you knew it was actually a ghost town, but you thought moderately dangerous was a better reflection? Generaloberst 18:26, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Because of the infrastructure levels, and the fact that necrscans revealed less than ten activve zombies in the area it was a ridiculous compromise. Was it green because of numbers? Dangerous because of active strikes, or a ghost town because the survivor number was only moderately higher than the zombies. In the end I used the repaired building note as the best marker i felt reflected the current status. --Like Moss and The Dude..... 18:45, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

So... he killed himself? If Fascist Italian is Harrison then I don't know whether to admire the trick or denounce it. But yeah, you can expect a lot from a Jew... Generaloberst 18:02, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- I would appreciate it if one of the sysops could check Fascist Italian's IP, to see if it's a clone of someone else on the wiki. And to act accordingly. Especially you, Vapor. If you know who Fascist Italian is and he's a clone, then it's your duty as a sysops to do something about it. Generaloberst 18:03, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that whoever it is probably doesn't appreciate that you're handing out his personal information on a free public website. If you're set in finding out who it is, you're on your own.

- Uhm, no we can't. See Yon's misconduct case where he revealed the identity of an alt if you want precedent (sorry can't link right now). Wiki alts are allowed and they're allowed to keep their identities hidden if they choose. It only becomes an issue if both wiki alts have voted on an administrative page (sock puppeting) or one or the other alt is banned and/or facing a ban (Vandal alts). Otherwise, we don't reveal any information garnered through checkuser privleges. ~ 21:53, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Deletions
Hey, what's the deal with deletion requests? Do they need to be ratified by the sysops before they're deleted or something like that? It just says on the deletion page that they get deleted after 2 weeks if the public vote says to. o.O I'm only asking because Sexual linked me to a guide that said to ask Project welcome members if I was confused by anything, and the current deletion request had me flummoxed. Thanks for helping alleviate my confusion. --Shortround 10:08, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I have another question: I've just been moving suburb news to the relevant archives, but the most recent news article on the Ridleybank page is from yesterday (months are weird like that). I'm thinking I just leave it a week and then archive it then, because it's still very current news. What do you think?--Shortround 11:02, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- i think a month is usually 30 days. so you should wait until they are at least that old. and if i didn't have better things to do I would roll back all those unnecessary edits you made. things move a bit slower on this wiki. step back and calm down.--User:Sexualharrison12:42, 1 February 2012 (bst)

Project Timeline
Hey I've been putting a lot of thought into finally picking up on this project again and you had contribited to discussion so I thought I'd hit you up. The idea here is to not only complete the graphical timeline but also create a project space for concise and NPOV wiki articles about different aspects of the game history. UDWiki:Project Timeline is the namespace I had in mind and history articles would go to UDWiki:Project Timeline/Article Nmae. Mostly the reason I'm reaching out to you is because I'm a lot less active on the wiki these days so I would need some help getting the project off the ground. What do you say. You up to helping with a big project like this? ~ 18:07, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- Sure --Rosslessness 18:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- Exxxxcelent. It should be mostly self sufficient once the project guidleines are in place. I'll play around with the graphical timeline a bit to try to make it more user friendly and then move it over from my userspace. Want to have the honor of writing the first history article? Perhaps Monroville? I'm thinking an all inclusive article that covers start to end with major groups, sieges, events in between. Also need an article about the very early game history. Thinking of hitting up some old skool players to fill in details that I can't piece together from other sources. ~ 18:38, 19 February 2012 (UTC) ~ 18:38, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- Got a format? I can do both perma death cities. Separate time lines?--Rosslessness 18:55, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- No real format in mind other than just traditional wiki article. NPOV, opening statement and different sections covering different aspects. We can use your article for reference for others. Once we get an article or two, I'll throw them in a navigation template for the top of the timeline main page. One article for both cities would probably be fine. ~ 19:05, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- On second thought, separate timelines would probably be best. We don't need to rewrite long articles here. Keep it concise, link to other existing articles. The idea is that one shouldn't need to trudge through many articles which may not be well linked in order to learn about the game history. ~ 19:40, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- UDWiki:Project Timeline/Monroeville Timeline and UDWiki:Project Timeline/Borehamwood Timeline are up if you're still interested. I'm going to keep working on the timeline itself but also contribute to the individual timeline pages. I'll bring the project to community projects here pretty soon once a format starts to emerge. ~ 15:43, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Sitzkrieg
Did you really think I was unaware that zombie hands tear barricades down faster than survivors with a crowbar, or that a needle is the fastest way to 'kill' a zombie (unless you use multiple loaded shotguns, he has no flak jacket and no body building skill)? What you described is exactly what a coördinated strike is. I already said a coördinated strike can kill Sitzkrieg. Though it takes only 18AP (10 for revive, 1 for repair, 1 stand up after dying of infection and 6 for ruining the building) at all times. Any extra AP can be used to cade and search. I'm completely aware that Sitzkrieg isn't effective against highly coördinated groups, but in calm environments they are very much so since they allow death cultists to defend a building with minimal manpower and AP needed. Generaloberst 20:10, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- I deleted your multiple post I hope you don't mind. I assumed you knew everything above. However, the tactics page is created specifically for others to read, not just for the creator to show how brilliant he is. You posted incorrect information on the page, (The 55ap figure for example) and I corrected it. --Rosslessness 20:19, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Reverted your edit for you. If you want to delete your post feel fine. No need to delete my comment at the same time. --Rosslessness 20:22, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Well you make it seem like I invented a tactic that is useless, which it is not. The 55AP figure is correct when using a crowbar. EHB+4 to VSB+2 are 11 steps with a 20% chance of making a hit. 5*11=55. Sorry about the delete, I tried to delete the multipost as well but you were faster or something. I already reverted it myself. Generaloberst 20:23, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- No problem. Well my issues were, the 22ap figure, the status that a crowbar was the most effective way of decading, and the fact you used absolute figures when you meant "on average", plus your decision to ignore the fact that the defenders would be more easily removed with a single needle. Oh, and if an area is "Quiet", why would you use this tactic? Its surely best employed in an area where survivors are actively tring to retake the building. Otherwise you've got two players using No ap over a number of days to block access to a building people aren't trying to get into anyway. --Rosslessness 20:32, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Didn't use absolute figures. I constantly used the word "about", which indicates an average. Shotgun against bodybuilding + flakjacket was an example, which is why the sentence started with "if". Of course I had given it a thought to use a needle as example, but then figured to leave it since needle isn't always the fastest kill.
- The tactic isn't best in an environment where survivors actively try to retake the building. With Sitzkrieg you can recade only a few times a day. Blitzkrieg works best in "busy" environments. Sitzkrieg is better if the cades don't get collapsed more than the times of recading*10 (EHB+4 to HB) each day. You're right about a "quiet" environment though. Basically it puts 2 people 'stuck' inside a building. We've done it only once now so we're not sure how it works in practice but I just hoped you wouldn't make the page so that it looks like the tactic is a piece of trash.

Unemplementia
Hello again Ross. I have a somewhat loaded question for you regarding building types for suburbs in Unemplementia. In regards to types of locations on suburbs, are there any requirements or limits on what should and shouldn't be included? If that doesn't make sense, which it probably doesn't, here's a different approach to the question.
So currently, I'm redoing all of my custom suburbs and going with a different approach to it, BUT I dunno if I should refrain from placing buildings that aren't of real "use" in a zombie apocalypse. Like vet clinics for example. Who's gonna find time to take Fido to the vet to get his shots when zombies are around? Or coffee shops and cafes; who's going to find anything of use besides coffee for RP reasons in a coffee shop in a post-zombie-apocalypse? No one, but I'm trying to decide if I should only include buildings like book stores, police departments, hospitals, and the such, because if I do, it would seriously decrease the size of my town (which isn't a bad thing) and I don't want to infringe on creativity.
I guess what I'm trying to say is should I just go with it and create fully-fledged towns with locations that wouldn't be of real use, or just limit it to what's useful or am I just over-thinking this? Thoughts? --TheBardofOld 17:59, 13 April 2012 (BST)
- Also, is there any chance of myself being able to revise your Mount Grim suburb? I'd like to incorporate a few things into my town...give it a bit of flavor, but it's not a problem if you decline. -- TheBardofOld 08:21, 28 April 2012 (BST)
