Suggestion description
Okay, my first suggestion. I realize this may be considered unbalancing, but at least it's realistic. Imagine this: You're in a building, searching for stuff. THe door get's smashed down, and you turn. Standing there is a zombie. There's no other exits, and you'd rather not become his or her brain munching pal. So what are you gonna do, just stand there? Not if you have any will to live whatsoever. The-not really-logical, but realistic thing a person would do is kill or evade the zombie. Staying too long and fighting with the zombie will just attract more attention. So what do you do? You run and swing at them, at an attempt to hit them and get past them. Now, before I automatically get a Kill or Spam vote, let me explain about this. It;s gonna sound complicated, but ti really isnt. If you stand still, plant your feet, and take a swing t something, you're more likely to hit it. Like in baseball. But if you run and randomly swing at baseball, you'll probably end up getting a strike or a hospital visit. If I was saying "Yeah you should get 50% of chance to hit teh zombehz and get away cuz ur human and ur smarter" I could understand. But c'mon. Running at something and swinging at it randomly in a desperate attempt to get past isn't really giving you much time to aim. You just run and swing randomly at it and try to get past. You should get a low amount of success, and it should take 2AP. That's only because if it works, you're home free. I only thought of this because it's a last resort for the people(like newbs who can't really fight yet) to get out of the building with their lives. Critism is welcome, but at least try to understand before you vote "Kill "'Cause your suggestion is utterly stupid and would unbalance the game completely!" because it really won't. It'll just give you a last little glimer of hope when your in one of the darkest places in this game: cornered and practically canned zombie food.

Voting Section

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. Tentative Keep - I like the idea. It's a little confusing and took me a couple of readings to get the point but I do think it could work. Idea still needs a lot of work to get past the spam patrol but a good effort. -- Cheese 22:00, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
2. Change - Attach some actual numbers regarding the hit chances and I'm on board. --Heretic144 22:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
3. Sure - As Cheesy Harmbargar--/~Rakuen~\^Talk I Still Love Grim 23:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Kill Votes

1. clarify if i read this right you are suggesting an attack (or skill?) allowing you to leave a building for 2 ap but take a swipe at the zombie on the way out at half your hit chance? If thats the case whats wrong with taking a 1AP swing at full accuracy and then a 1AP action to leave? The flavour is great but as zombies do not stop or hinder you leaving the skill has no use and in fact would only harm you. Perhaps if you make it a 1AP action to leave and attack at a weapons base accuracy it might make more sense and be more useful but then you will get people screaming "WAAAH.... NO FREE-ACTIONZ!" --Honestmistake 22:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
2. Kill - really pointless, as above--Corndoghero^T-S-Z 22:14, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
3. Kill - Gotta go with the above, because I'm fond of logic and math. --Diano 22:54, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
4. Kill/Discussion - Dude, as of right now newbies can simply leave a building if there's a zombie inside it. Why take the risk of waking it up by hitting it? Also, you need to clarify most of your points. Wishy-washy suggestions tend to die quick, humiliating deaths. --Private Mark 23:44, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
5. Kill -There is no way to be "trapped". Even a human w/out free run can simply walk out.--Airborne88^T|Z.Quiz|PSS 23:49, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
6. Kill Cause your suggestion is utterly stupid and would unbalance the game completely! (Sorry. Somebody had to do it.) - Headshot Hal ^Talk 01:03, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
7. Kill - If survivors get something like this, zeds should to.--Jamie Cantwell3 02:52, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Spam - I failed to read to the end of it. Man, make an effort! Write a suggestion next time. -- John Rubin^{T! ZG} 22:09, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
2. Spam - Okay, my first vote - so please be gentle with any Res, and listen, I know you may find this vote unfair but hear me out! Y'know how, when you're eating liquorice, and it gets stuck between your teeth, and then you have to pick it out with your fingernail, just as this hot babe asks you the time, and you're, like, trying to get to your watch, but there's black liquorice gunk all over your fingers and inbetween your teeth, and she's like "ewww, that's gross", and then that's it - the moment's gone - it's like, it totally sucks and blows at the same time, kinda like you wished...well, anyway - wouldn't it be great if you could, I dunno, tell the future? I don't know how you could do that, but if you could, you could avoid those embaressing situations. I know - my idea for a time machine or some form of temporal telepathy or power of prophecy is incomplete - which brings me to my point: so's this suggestion. --Funt Solo ^QT 22:18, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
3. Clarify - Seriously, this is about as comprehensible as a script for the Flowerpot Men written inbadly translated handwriting.--Studoku 22:22, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
4. Spam - unclear and unjustifyed. first time is not an excuse. example. --~~~~ [talk] 22:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
5. Is that melted licorice in my pocket, or am I just glad to see you? - As Funt. --WanYao 22:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
6. Spam - The game doesn't need wookie cenataurs, because it already has wookies from alpha centauri.  Swiers 22:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
7. Spam - (1) More than half of this is arguments, not a suggestion, (2) the suggestion is incomplete (lacks details), and (3) being that it's your first suggestion, you should have followed the advice for making suggestions which tells you to "take it to Discussion. --Pdeq^Talk* 23:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
8. Spam - Fails even basic logic. -- Iscariot 01:00, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

   How so? Imagine it like this, zombie near the door, you want to get through but you don't want to waste your time/ap killing the zed but you want to leave a small dent in him. You run past him but at the same time you take a swing at him with your golf club/bat/cricket bat/2x4. You get a lesser chance to hit because everyone knows its harder to hit someone/thing if your running at it....--/~Rakuen~\^Talk I Still Love Grim 01:04, 14 March 2008 (UTC)non-author re struck --~~~~ [talk] 08:02, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

9. Spam - Wow, this suggestion made my head hurt. Did I mention that it is dumb, not well thought-out, and completely unnecessary?  Billy Club Thorton  T!  RR  02:59, 14 March 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:20080313 Run and Swing). 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.
