I've never been interested in the Wiki enough to actually contribute to it, but I really *really* like the Urban Dead game and some of the things I have seen regarding it.

Back to play UD for a little while, in a fit of nostalgia. For such a low tech game, it has an unusual appeal that has lasted years now.

My current active character is Cujo the Police Dog, my attempt at role playing something a little outside of the box.

He spends his time running around looking for people who need help and either healing them (if he can) or directing them towards help (if he can manage to get the point across, without using human speech). This has led to some rather excellent role playing opportunities, and I'm pleased to say both survivors and zombies have taken the time to chat with Cujo in character. The folks at Quartly Library have been exceptionally entertaining.

As far as in game tactics, he avoids combat generally (he can bite, however) and drags fuel cans and generators to places that need them. In the unhappy event that he gets zombified (again) he spends his time looking for a Rot Revive Clinic to get rezzed, and helping survivors as best he can (this usually leads to him getting gunned down or chopped up by hysterically fearful survivors, of course). He does speak when he is a zombie, but as you may expect from a dog, his vocabulary leaves much to be desired.

I am tring to remember how to use the attack codes to Bite people when I am *not* a zombie, but without success.
