Suggestion description
Doors, as has been often said, are too strong against new zombies- doors are not universally made of impenetrable materials. This is one of several proposed solutions to that, and it adds tactical options of breaking down or merely opening a door. Newb zombies will be able to break the locks on a door, and force it open for 5 AP, and can be set right by any survivor for 1 AP, and then he can close the door for another AP. Then, with MOL, a zombie retains the ability to open the door for 1 AP, but will also gain the ability to SMASH DOWN the door for 5 AP- obliterating it, meaning a survivor with a toolbox will need to come in to repair the door, and new zombies (if the cades are down) will be able to come in without messing with doors. This is RP justified by saying that with memories of life, a zombie would know the weakest point of a door and would only then be able to smash it down. Without a door, a building can be caded as normal- but if caded, the door will be irreplacable until the barricades are down

This is not a dupe because it intends a balanced change, rather than removing doors altogether, and it also adds a tactical option even after MOL is bought. It is also not a dupe of my last suggestion, as the barricade nerf has been removed, but the tactical options remain.

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. Change - I say at least 10. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 03:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

   My plan here is for progressive change. I guess if this keeps up, tomorrow I'll withdraw this and resubmit it with 10 AP instead of 5. If that don't work, I'll reduce it back to 5 and make it a 50% chance.  Nalikill  ^{TALK  E!  W!  M!  USAI}  03:46, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

   Keep - Doors should not be completely impassable to a new zombie. - Grant 20:15, 8 January 2008 (UTC) Vote struck as author has removed this suggestion from voting - see top of page. --Funt Solo ^QT 14:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - raise it to 15-20 or something, this should be a desperate move, and doors are much stronger than a few chairs stacked up--Corndoghero^T-S-Z 00:08, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
2. Kill - I said the same thing with the similar one on the suggestions page. Zombies can now identify structural weaknesses in doors? Next will MoL allow them to use firearms, DNA extractors, cell phones? As it is survivors without construction are out of luck if they can't find a VSB safehouse - don't take away their ability to shut doors. My zombie character is all for help against barricades, but the flavor here just isn't sensible. Sheana ^{T / TMZ} 00:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
3. kill - As above --/~Rakuen~\ 00:54, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

   Heh, where are all of those people who voted for this last time, and those who said they'd vote for this if the barricade nerf was removed?  Nalikill  ^{TALK  E!  W!  M!  USAI}  03:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

4. Kill MoL lets you do things that were commonplace in life like talk or open doors. Unless in life you were a professional door smasher it wouldn't help you out. Also, doors are the only defense someone without Construction has against zombies. If you want zombies to be able to destroy doors then allow people to create some level of barricades without Construction. --Jon Pyre 05:55, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
5. Kill - There are a lot of valid points above, but Karek's is the most poignant: you are only creating a greater AP imbalance. It's the same thing why a lot of zombie players hate ruin - 5 AP to wreck the place, and then Joe-the-toolbox-wielding-hero comes along and fixes it for 1 AP. I'm not saying I am going to support a suggestion like this... but you can't keep putting zombies further into AP Debt - and in politics, we all know debt is bad. --Ryiis 06:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
6. Kill - Zombies generally don't remember squat. I doubt many people on the street know the weakest point of a door, much less when they're reduced to the intelligence of deer. --Pgunn 11:46, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Spam - An even crappier form of ruin?! Hurray for trenchcoating idiots who don't understand the game neutering suggestions.--Karek^maps?! 02:46, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
2. Spam - As karek. --The Grimch ^{U! E! WAT!} 06:03, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
3. Smap - *sigh*... as above --~~~~ [talk] 09:08, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
4. Spam - there's nothing wrong with the door rules, and there's no such thing as the mythical "impenetrable door" that is the base point for so many of these suggestions. This is role-playing, and zombies without MOL simply don't know how to open doors. They're probably so stupid they don't even know what a door is, and just ignore them. (I know that zombie players aren't that stupid, but that's not the point - because this is role-playing, remember?) So, the doors aren't impenetrable, anymore than the buildings are single-room boxes with a single door and one set of 'cades. It's all representative. So, there's nothing wrong with doors. Churches and junkyards cater for newbie zombies without MOL. No problem. Nothing to fix. --Funt Solo ^QT 10:38, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
5. Spam - Don't break the game, as Funt said - nothing to fix. --_Ducis ^Dux_Sloth^Talk 11:31, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

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:20080102 Door Smash 2.0). 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.
