Sticky Notes

Timestamp:--keepster33 21:57, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Type: New Items

Scope: Survivors

Description: I've felt that for the longest time that this particular zombie apocalypse is missing a certain human element. And for this reason I feel that we're overdue for sticky notes. The sticky notes could come in packs of 5 to 10 where upon use you see You stick a note to the wall "Pick up eggs, milk, and brains." (Uses 1 Ap of course) Upon seeing it you receive the message You see a note on the wall "Pick up eggs, milk, and brains." Any person in the building can tear one down per 1 Ap You rip a sticky note from the wall tearing it up and throwing it on the floor And only 5 notes could be up at a time (in order to reduce server stress.) You tear down the oldest note and replace it with your own stating "Already went to the store." It's similar to spray paint, but it has a different flavor. And yes they can stack on top of spray paint.

Discussion (Sticky Notes)

I am almost absolutely positively certain this is a dupe. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 02:17, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: I looked through the duped suggestions as well as frequently suggested and found nothing of the sort. If you have a link to "post it's" or "sticky notes" I'll gladly take this suggestion down.--keepster33 02:54, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I am 100% certain it is in the 2006 suggestions archive, but I can't be bothered to look through it right now. Perhaps later. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 03:08, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I found this. It's similar but not quite the same. [[1]] --keepster33 03:24, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm 75% certain there is another one lurking around somewhere... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 03:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Alright I'll keep looking. --keepster33 03:27, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Crap in a hat. I looked through all of 2005 and 2006's rejected archives as well as all of non-archived rejected suggestions. And not a single sticky note, post it note, or just notes was suggested. I've looked through enough venues to not feel like an asshole if this is a dupe. I wash my hands of the search.--keepster33 15:18, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

OK, well, I thought there was something around. I'll now run a search to to be sure. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 16:39, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. If you find it let me know.--keepster33 18:03, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Not Sticky Notes, but I found Bulletin Boards with a similar mechanic. But not a dupe. You're free and clear. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 18:05, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to go ahead and say it is a dupe, in that it accomplishes very little that mobile phones and spray cans don't already do. Communication really isn't a weak point in the game. Though if fixtures (generators, transmitters and maybe the smashable ornaments) could be 'sticky noted', with say one note per block to reduce the inevitable yellow carpet, and the functionality preserved except for an additional 1 XP smash bonus for zombies breaking any item that's been stickied, I could maybe get behind it. I also suggest a harsh character limit for realism, maybe half of that allowed for grafitti. 18:43, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Actually yes, a little note could be placed on a generator or radio. You could give credit to the person who placed the generator. Or say what station the radio should stay on.--keepster33 23:36, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
