20070823 Play Zombie

Suggestion scope
Survivors with "Memories of Life" skill

Suggestion description
Shaun of the Dead has a sequence where the characters have to cross a zombie infested street. They do so by pretending to be zombies. I suggest a similar ability should be made available in Urban Dead.

In order to pretend to be a zombie, a player must have been a zombie and must be able to recall the experience. Hence, this skill should require "Memories of Life". Once a player gets the skill, they will be given an option to Play Zombie when they enter a street. It should take a lot of concentration to do, so should cost somewhere in the region of 5 AP.

The trick only works if the player stands still. If the player does anything, or any other player does something to them, the illusion is shattered. It will fail if a zombie is present that has the players scent trail, or if any zombies "saw" the player prior to the skill being applied. The skill cannot be used again within the same street. If the player is discovered, their scent becomes known to all nearby zombies with Scent Trail.

This skill provides two advantages.

1. It provides players some safety if they cannot find shelter.
2. It can help survivor groups monitor horde movement.

Kill Votes

1. Kill- In real life, zombies can still smell living flesh, so pretending to be zombies won't do any good. Vkkhamul 18:20, 23 August 2007 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Spam - Simply ridiculous. Gives survivors a huge and pointless buff, and isn't really believable. --Anotherpongo 12:54, 23 August 2007 (BST)

7. Spam - sorry, bad idea, out of genre (other than the sub-genre of zombie comedy). --the one, the only, sushiknight ^{(talk contribs HARD E.N.D.)} 16:47, 23 August 2007 (BST)
8. OMG Zombie Ninjas! - John Rubin^{T! ZG} 16:48, 23 August 2007 (BST)
9. Spam - Spamzilla, this should be in the humourous section. and in regards to Shaun of the Dead, it's a great movie, but you just should joke when in comes to flesh eating brain gorging hords of the undead. --Jack13 17:10, 23 August 2007 (BST)
10. Spam - Probably the worst idea I heard in a long time. --Sonny Corleone ^{RRF CoL DORIS CRF pr0n} 18:07, 23 August 2007 (BST)

13. Dupe - I've suggested this before, but that was like a long time ago and I really don't care to dig it up, it was under the name acting I think. Either way it's a bad idea El Rose 23:29, 23 August 2007 (EST)
14. Spam MAYBE if UD zombies were the "mindless" variety. But they aren't.--Pesatyel 04:06, 24 August 2007 (BST)
15. Humorous/Spam-yep. Funny. We should implement "Play zombie" if you are drunk. I think anyone that is swaying should be a zombie :)--  Savant  Chit-Chat  06:49, 24 August 2007 (BST)
16. Spam - Bad and even potentially game-breaking. --The Hierophant 10:19, 24 August 2007 (BST)
