Suggestion scope
Zombies.

Suggestion description
This zombie is so infected that the disease oozes out of its skin and contaminates anything it touches, and now extra-infectious slime drools form its mouth.

Sub-skill of Infectious Bite.

Now all attacks made by this Zombie cause infection, hand or bite attacks. Infections from Bite now cause 2 HP of damage for every AP spent by an infected Survivor. Infections from hand attacks just cause the usual 1 HP loss.

When inside a building a New button would appear called Ooze. Pressing the button costs 10 AP. Now the building has a new description informing other Players the building is a Infection Hazard. Each AP spent by a Survivor to Barricade or Repair or Clean a Building causes 1 HP of damage.

Survivors inside a building that is an Infection Hazard see a new button called Clean(10). Pressing it costs 1 AP and has a 50% chance to lower the number next to the Clean button by 1. Once the number next to the Clean button reaches 0, the building is no longer an Infection Hazard.

Zombies can't "stack" Infection Hazards, so the highest number next to Clean is 10. Zombies can reset the number to 10 though by clicking their Ooze button again.

Voting Rules

Votes must be numbered, justified, signed, and timestamped. # justification ~~~~ Votes that do not conform to the above may be struck by any user.

The only valid votes are Keep, Kill, Spam or Dupe. If you wish to abstain from voting, do not vote.

Keep Votes

1. Keep/Change I love the idea, but ooze is pretty crazy...Maybe ooze can be a skill that allows a zombie to ooze infection. A survivor who barricades gets a 15% chance to become infected, but the ooze can be cleared for 2 AP? Ioncannon11 11:53, 5 August 2008 (BST)
2. Keep - Wow! I just can't wait to destroy an entire suburb with my one zombie! D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 13:49, 5 August 2008 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - Very imaginative, however I believe that the 'Ooze' mechanic is far too zombie-biased. Nothing wrong with a zombie buff, just so long as it's not overly powerful. It'd make taking back zombie suburbs an absolute nightmare. --Blake Firedancer ^{T E RNL? P.I.S.I.T.} 03:43, 5 August 2008 (BST)
2. Kill - can't believe I'm saying this, but as Blake. Zombies can just ooze every time they ruin a building, all of Malton would become a giant toxic dump. Techercizer ^(Food) _(TSoE) 04:11, 5 August 2008 (BST)
3. Kill - As these gentlemen. --ZiP^MH+LUE 04:12, 5 August 2008 (BST)
4. I don't think this is balanced and looks overpowered. Take this to the disucussion page.--Pesatyel 05:11, 5 August 2008 (BST)
5. Kill & Forget Dude, first of all, it's overpowered, second, it makes the game unbalanced, and it would make the game just impossible for survivors. I play as a survivor, and i know what it would be like. all of Malton would become a giant toxic dump - i dont want that to happen. --Piskus99 06:00, 5 August 2008 (BST)
6. Kill - As everyone above me. If we wanted to turn Malton into a radioactive toxic heap, we'd ask for a nuclear warhead to be dropped, and leave it at that. Pesatyel's right, however, you should take these suggestions to discussion first. --Private Mark 07:03, 5 August 2008 (BST)
7. Kill - A very nice idea. But insanely overpowered. -- Cheese 11:43, 5 August 2008 (BST)
8. Kill - No thank you. As everyone else. --Vandurn 15:16, 5 August 2008 (BST)
9. Kill - This degrades zombies to oozing sacs of toxic sludge. I'll stand firmly against it. ~Ariedartin • Talk • A KS J abt all 15:45, 5 August 2008 (BST)
10. Kill - No thank you -- Necrodeus ^{T M!} 16:09, 5 August 2008 (BST)
11. Kill - Way too overpowered, ruined buildings make suburbs already difficult enough to take back. --Karec 21:20, 5 August 2008 (BST)
12. Kill - Crazy and overpowered - Zig13 - 6/08/2008 at 14:00(BST)
13. Weak Kill - It's too creative for it's own good. --BoboTalkClown 00:21, 11 August 2008 (BST)
14. KILL My zombie does not want to stoop to being a frothing idiot like the survivors.-- #99 ^{DCC SNACK STRONG} 08:46, 11 August 2008 (BST)
15. Kill - No, just no.--Jamie Cantwel3 ^TalkAll glory to the Hypnotoad! 22:08, 11 August 2008 (BST)
16. Kill - Overpowered. Really not fond of the idea of having ooze zombies. --Bdamack 11:56, 12 August 2008 (BST)
17. 'Kill a must kill --Airborne88^T|Z.Quiz|PSS 20:13, 14 August 2008 (BST)
18. Kill Even as a zombie I would never dare to ooze on my precious library books. --Johnny Fate 16:18, 15 August 2008 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Spam - Have you not read the Frequently Suggested pages, etc. This is spam. All over. And almost certainly a dupe, but I'm too lazy to hunt for it. --WanYao 10:36, 5 August 2008 (BST)
2. Spam - Ridiculously overpowered. --Midianian^{|T|T:S|C:RCS|} 11:11, 5 August 2008 (BST)
3. Spam - I play zombie, but this is ridiculously overpowered.--drawde ^{DORIS•Red Rum•Defend Ridleybonk!•I Know Nothing!} 11:51, 5 August 2008 (BST)
4. Spam - Are you serious? This idea is ludicrous and way too overpowered. A horde of twenty zombies could take down a green suburb in one day if this was implemented. At least take it to the Suggestions page first. -- Jared^{Talk SPA CK} 17:49, 5 August 2008 (BST)
5. As Wan. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 18:08, 5 August 2008 (BST)
6. Ultra-Spam - As above, but especially as WanYao and Midiaian. Not just no, but hell no.  Billy Club Thorton  T!  RR  18:13, 5 August 2008 (BST)
7. Spam - As above. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 00:30, 6 August 2008 (BST)
8. Spam - As above. --Sir Bob Fortune ^RR 00:46, 6 August 2008 (BST)

   Spam - переносящие значение половых органов и полового акта на человека как на предмет называния --the wallaby^♥ 06:48, 6 August 2008 (BST) English only pleased, justification in a foreign language isn't helpful. --Karek^maps?! 06:58, 6 August 2008 (BST)

9. Spam - as those above. --Funt Solo ^QT 17:55, 6 August 2008 (BST)
10. Spam - I'm voting spam instead of kill not out of vindictiveness, but because this suggestion is way too powerful.--Jiangyingzi 22:21, 6 August 2008 (BST)
11. Spama-lama-ding-dong ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 03:27, 8 August 2008 (BST)
12. Frog Blast the vent Core!--Nny The Person 23:48, 9 August 2008 (BST)
13. SPAM and Eggs - Been a long time since I have used this part of voting but this suggestion is a kill every survivor in 5 day scenario. --Lt.G Deathnut | TheStayPuftMan 00:56, 16 August 2008 (BST)

Voting Rules

Current Suggestions Advice to Suggesters Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes. Advice to Voters You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam). It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.

Rules for Discussions Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20080805 MASSIVE INFECTION). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit. Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page. Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions. Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks. Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied. Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion. Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied. Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}} Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.

Invalid Votes Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide. X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others. Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.

Comments Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting. Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.

All Caps Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
