Rifle and accompanying skills

Type: Weapons

Scope: Anything that wields guns

Description: This weapon is a bolt-action,.223 caliber manually chambered rifle. It has the ability to be fired at a survivor or zombie from a block away, at the cost of 3AP per said shot. Use: Rifles will appear in your inventory. It can be used normally to attack others. Chance to find the weapon is: Mall Gun Stores 5%, Armories 3%, Police Departments 1%. Chance to find ammo (Single Rounds) is: Mall Gun Stores 8%, Armories 5%, Police Departments %3, Junkyards 1% Damage is 7 (5 against a Flak Jacket) Capacity is 3. Encunumbrance is 8% Starting skill: 5% Accuracy, 3% from 1 block away. Basic Firearms Training: 30% Accuracy, 15% from 1 block away. Rifle Training|: 55% Accuracy, 22% from 1 block away. Advanced Rifle Training 65% accuracy, 40% from one block away (Obs: Advanced Rifle Training gives a better increase for long-range hits.) another level for tall buildings Timestamp: -.- 13:34, 18 August 2013 (BST) Type: building Scope: zombies and humans Description: Add another level to tall buildings. Free running isn't allowed to or from the extra level, allow the possibility for barricading. If there are zombies on first floor, they must be killed off before players may move to and from the top of the building. Discussion (another level for tall buildings) Makes logical sense, but given the declining number of players I think having more "spaces" in which to spread out is a bad idea. Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 14:13, 18 August 2013 (BST) I was aiming for dynamic buildings. This suggestion doesn't address declining players. -.- 14:32, 18 August 2013 (BST) But it does, in that it spreads them out from 10,000 blocks with roughly 6,000 interiors to 10,000 blocks with roughly 12,000 interiors, making the entire city feel more sparse. So, a zombie can essentially lock a survivor on the top floor by staying on the bottom one, since according to what you've described, the survivors won't be able to come downstairs unless they suicide. I don't see why that makes sense, considering survivors can already climb over VSB barricades to walk outdoors, even if there are zombies, and it seems like this can be used to grief people pretty effectively. Not to mention the fact that you'd be spreading everyone out further, when what we need is to be condensing people more at this point. —Aichon— 14:36, 18 August 2013 (BST) Revised. Players would have a choice to either free run out to another building from the first floor or move up to the second. PKers would have to face the hoard, other survivors or suicide. -.- 14:49, 18 August 2013 (BST) here is my constructive criticism *ahem* git faaaaaaaaaaaaaaarkd yrs trly, ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 01:56, 20 August 2013 (BST) Suggestions up for voting The following are suggestions that were developed here but have since gone to voting.
