Suggestion type
Attack accuracy adjustment.
Suggestion scope
Zombies.
Suggestion description
The proposal to adjust accuracy for a standard zombie bite and claw attacks, a skill I like to call Mob Advantage. This 'passive' skill allows zombies additional opportunity to get a chance to land a successful strike or bite on a survivor when they are part of a larger group in the same building.
- As zombie, for every zombie you are with in a lit building, you gain a .50% chance to land a successful strike or bite on a survivor or zombie.
- As zombie, for every zombie you are with in a dark building or outside, you gain a .25 chance to land a successful strike or bite on a survivor or zombie.
Example- A small group(of seven zombies) breaks into a factory. The factory has three survivors inside of it, and it is lit. Any one of the seven zombies inside the building would now have a 3% additional chance to either smack or bite a survivor or one of the other fellow zombies.
Example- Next door to that factory, the big bash four mob (of 121 zombies which is almost unheard of in these days) breaks into the mall. The mall is not lit up with electricity, because a gker decided to ruin it for everybody. The zombies inside of the mall would have a %30 additional accuracy boost to attack either survivors or themselves.
With light, zombies and survivors are granted the same potential to kill one another, and the same can be said about darkness, but what makes this different is that not only would this make generators more valuable of an item in terms of potential use, but also for potential tactics. The use of generators in Malton can change everything, especially when dealing with mobs. It would put the survivors in a situation like this...
Example- The Ridleybank Resistance Front is trying to retake Blackmore from a bunch of survivors who managed to somehow stay inside for about two hours. The zombies have destroyed the barricades and gone in, only to discover that they were outnumbered (56 zombies versus 91 survivors). The blackmore building has been lit up, and the zombies would like to use the light to their advantage. The survivors also would like to use the light to their advantage, but recognize the fact that because the light gives zombies far better accuracy, and since they are in a fairly large group, they will be a lot more efficient in killing humans with their AP. The survivors would be put into a position where they may consider destroying their own generator for the sake of holding off a little bit longer, while the zombies would wait until the very end of their siege to destroy the generator, causing the building to go black.

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.

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.
