The Abandoned Hq

[a1s]

UPDATE 16 nov: Sorry Everyone, I've been Buisy lately (and still am), but I was asked to post <a href=\'http://webmouton.pingouin.ca/ud/\' target=\'_blank\'>this link</a>, which leads to your new forum!
now first of all, some of you will be wondering what this ia all about. We are Playing a browser based MMOG called Urban Dead (http://www.urbandead.com/), which is about surviving in a Zombie infested city (or munching on brainsss). We want to for a group for the living (which is not to say that we will kick you out if you die, but rather that you wish to stay alive).
here are a few things (updated daily by yours truly):

Name: The Abandoned (draft name)

Total Real Members (people): 11

Total alter egos (chars): 12

Long term goals: form up ( coming soon!)

political strucure: Preparing for elections (pjase1: nominations)

base of operation: Yagoton (http://www.jonathanfletcher.f2s.com/urbandead/mapping.php?suburb=15)

Who can join: any abandonia member, who is (or wants to be) alive. (again, draft rule)



chars:
//char [person] : short decription
A1s (http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=63763)[a1s] : A scientist who came to the city to track the zombie migration, he decided to take up RS and Med kits to help all those in need of healing. UPDATE: KIA, currently inside St Egbert's Church.

2a2s (http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=66522) [a1s] :a former hunter who died half a year before the infestation, he had first arisen as a zobie, and believs his hands to be forever soaked in blood of the inescent. for that reason he tries to blast as many zombie brains out with his shotgun as he can, desperate to prove his allegiance, if only to himself...

OlSheep (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=168351) [OlSheep] : A volunteer firefighter, OlSheep got stuck inside a crushed firetruck filled with corpses after an accident on Humphrey Lane. The driver, rushing to reach a burning building, swerved to avoid a man standing in the middle the street and rear-ended a massive 18-wheelers. The firetruck tipped over at a very high speed, killing all but one of the men that where inside it. When OlSheep could finally get himself out of the vehicle, he found out that the man who had caused the accident was both alive and slowly decaying. As he began to understand what he was seeing, a few of his buddies came back to life and seemed to think that it was time for a snack. OlSheep has been running, seeking a safehouse, ever since.

Eagle of fire (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=169874) [eagle of fire] : A police officer for one of the smaller Malton stations in the Peddlesden Village area, he had been drafted in along with the rest of his unit to help with the military-led evacuation of the city.

Mr Miau (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=169799) [Mr Miau] : A paramedic droped over the city to help the survivors. he soon ran out of suplies and amunition which made him consider offering fis training to one of the local groups.

Vhunter (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=159248) [Oberon] : an ordinary firefighter caught in the middle of far extraordinary events.

jamiroo [jamiroo] : His story is simple and yet uniqe. He was engaged to Sara, the most beautiful girl in the world... a week before the infestation they had a really bad fight... and she left.
He thought she was going to her mum's house in Dover, but she never made it. Soon he saw a tv report about the zombie infestation in Malton, and she was running away with a shovel kicking some zombie, behind the tv reporter (what a girl!). So he went to Malton without thinking twice, which was a stupid thing to do because he went unarmed.
He arived to the city just hours before it became qurantined, and it wan't much of a surprise (well except maybe for him) that he emmidietly ran into a zombie, who he shot with zombies own gun (what a guy!)
Now he roams around Malton trying to find Sara, and killing whatever gets in his way.

Sonny Bonds (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=172687) [RedHeadSebbe] : it was his lifelong dream to become a policeman, and it all seemed to go his way... up until these zombies came! the anser was simple as a middle school equation: if zombies= the problem, then redheadsebbe= zombie hunter.

Kearnsy2 [Kearsy] . He's been shoplifting since he was a teen, and can gather loot from malls really easily, but it's justs not fun to have 10 PSPs in a city where there isn't a single working power outlet, so he decided to join one of the forming groups, and truth be told even if he will comandeer a few items from the common pool he'd still make a better supply agent then any of those boneheaded militay goons. //note that currently the game doesn't allow item transfer between chars.

Bobbin Threadbare (http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=140670)[Bobbin Threadbare]2: a featureless zombie that wants to "become a real boy" :)

Toxik1 (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=173060)Toxic : a humble medic who has only finished one university with honors, and spent 5 only years in Africa helping the sick children.

Andijo (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=171397) [mouse31e] : a Military Medic with a boring past he never shares no matter how much wine he is given...

[OlSheep]

I want to join :) !

We need to decide of a place where we can get together soon since travelling can require a few days worth of APs.

[Mr Miau]

Alright, sign me in! I just made a medic, running around armed with a pistol and a medikit...

[Mr Miau]

....and I have no idea what to do!?

[a1s]

well you can start of by telling us the name of your charecter, his level and his strong points. :D

I'd like evryone to note that all those "coming soon" feilds will be filled from your suggestions. It obviosu we should help each other, but maybe we should adopt soem other gamenda too? maybe we should hunt doen all zombies in a certain neighboorhood? or try to revive evryone we can find? mybe even try to destroy suspected PK? and how wide should be our base of opertaions? shal we cover one burb? or 9? or form a loose network over all of the city? it's up to you.

[Eagle of Fire]

Welcome to Urban Dead, Eagle of Fire

You're a police officer for one of the smaller Malton stations in the Peddlesden Village area, and had been drafted in along with the rest of your unit to help with the military-led evacuation of the city.

Great. :D

[Mr Miau]

Alright, Mr Miau Lvl 1, Basic Weapons and Medikit Training. But at least the Wepons training seems to be quite useless. I fired my whole pistol clip at a zombie and hit 1 time! aaaargh

P.S.: I'm at the Wetcombe Towers, barricaded, but alone...

EDIT: BTW, I was airdropped tot help the poor survivors. :D

either one or the other. or you're not level 1.

[Mr Miau]

Sorry, you're right, only Medikit! That could be a reason why I just don't hit nothing!

Here's a quick tutorial/guide for those of you who want to join without reading the FAQ and/or the WIKI. I cannot guarantee this text's accuracy but it should still be very helpful.

btw. It would be good if everyone post his Profile link here, so that we can build a Group Database with all Names & profile links.. wich makes it alot more easy to add all group members to your contact list.. and recognize them..

To post ur profile link, copy the url of your Name.. looks like this: You are Name. You have 50 Hit Points and 6 Experience Points. You have 4 Action Points remaining.

and also a good firefox ext. for UD: UD Map Shortcut (http://id.xerode.net/urbandead/) wich turns the suburb name into a link to its map

[jamiroo]

Hey

i signed up yesterday and in my opinion the main fault of this game is the slow regeneration of AP... :yawn: mainly because this game is so damn addictive :cheers:

well, my character name is jamiroo and i'm an level 1 military :sniper: , with 26 experience points and basic firearms training. i'm out of ammo, so i'm waiting in the Maney Lane Police Dept in Dentonside, gaining AP and trying to find some pistol clips, but it seems i'll be here for a while :cry:


my story is simple... and i'm here to ask for your help "abandoners". i was engaged to Sara, the most beautiful girl in the world... a week ago we had a really bad fight about me going to iraq and she left me, her last words being "i love you but i just can't handle this".

i thought she was going to her mum's house in Dover, but she never made it. i started my search for her, and two days ago i saw a tv report about the zombie infestation in Marlon, and she was running away with a shovel kicking some zombie, behind the tv reporter (that's my girl! :w00t: ). So i went to Marlow without thinking twice, which was a stupid thing to do because i went unarmed.

The first thing i've noticed was that everything seemed so "dead"... no animal sounds, no people in the streets... and then there was this policeman who i thought could help me. When i got right to him... he was a zombie! i punched him away and blasted him with his own gun.

Now i roam around Marlon trying to find Sara, and killing whatever gets in my way. And so i'm here asking for your help, you know... i just love her :cry:

a1s, perhaps we should make a building our home base? Then we can all meet up and chat, if we're not zombies. Unlucky for me. Then someone could grafitti. 'Abandonia HQ' or something on the wall. And since the non-zombies are going to be barricading this building we could meet outside? Cuz all I'm doing is killing members and feeding on their XP. 61 so far... Working my way to 100... again. If we're doing my homebase idea we should all use Firefox. If you don't have, it you should get it.

And we're not allowed to kill other forum peoples are we?

And my profile (http://urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=140670)

Crap! Double post.

[a1s]

I don't know about you guys, but when I load urban dead in firefox the main game are becomes very small (about half IE size).
Posting profiles is a good idea, I like it.

I'm going to look for a good suburb tonight, are there any preferances beside it having a mall?

[TheChosen]

Count me in!

I am a scout named TheChosen.

A place to get ammo, if it isen´t made in the mall....

[Bobbin Threadbare]

@TC: You need to register for a free account at urbandead.com (http://www.urbandead.com)

@a1s: I'd prefer it if it was near the upper part of town because I'm working my way to Barrsville. But I don't know many other peoples location.

It's good for me that in Firefox it's smaller due to my crappy 800x600 resolution. Fits most of it on the screen.

@Everyone: Does anyone have a spraythingo? Because when a1s picks a building the person with the spraythingo can put something like Abandoned HQ on the wall. Which brings me to another preferance. A mall with no graffiti.

both of my chars have it. it's called a "spray can". it can be found in auto repar shops and malls.
and why do you need a grafitiless mall? :blink:

also, pistol ammo is produced in malls, but unless you know where to look (have the requred skill) you are likely to get some random c-p instead.

[Kearnsy]

I just had a thought...can you actually give items???
I know there is a drop button, but is that a discard button or is it like placing something on the ground for others to pick up?

If it doesnt work my role is kinda pointless!! :wall:

[a1s]

no. RTFM as they say in MIT! :D but don't get sad, you can act as a reserve medic/sprayer

I'm thinking about Yagoton (http://www.jonathanfletcher.f2s.com/urbandead/mapping.php?suburb=15), what do you guys think? (it has a mall, a PD and a hospital, and also a NT building as a bonus)

[Kearnsy]

:cry: ...ohh well

At least I'll be stocked up really well. :sneaky:
Once I get my shooting stats up I should be fine.
but until then... :ph34r:

btw I like Yagoton as a Hq. It also has a funny name LOL :D


Or Roftwood (http://www.jonathanfletcher.f2s.com/urbandead/mapping.php?menu=route&suburb=57) would also be great (mall, 5 police stations, 3 fire stations, couple of hospitals and some bars)
What do you think?

[Oberon]

hmm Yagoton... sounds cool, i'm currently in Brooke Hill and Yagoton is the next suburb if you go north.. so i'm fine with it.. we need a exact location there if we decide to build our HQ in Yagoton..

ok, i will walk straight to Yagoton when i'm refreshed my AP points. If these buildings are full or owned by a other group, then we have a prob..
We also need a few characters with construction skills (i aint have it) to build up barricades.. so next skill i will buy is "construction" skill..

[a1s]

my scientis/medic (a1s) has it. as soon as he is revived (it helps to be able to recognise NT :) ) I'll send him there.

Alright, i#m gonna head to Yagoton. And heres my profile: http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=169799

EDIT: Strike, I have found new ammunition and 2 crowbars! I#m in a police depot in Pashenton, so I think I should make it to our home tomorrow.

LETS KILL SOME ZOMBIE BASTARDS! :sniper:

[RedHeadSebbe]

DARN!!! Im in Whittenside, as far down as you can get!! Grrrrr :ranting:

[Eagle of Fire]

So far, after 2 days, I have only 2xp and nothing interesting to work with... I got so far, from searching around, 2 cans of fuel and a poetry book. :blink:

How do I know where I am exactly, without having to install extentions into Firefox?

Edit:I'm in Chudley Town in Lawrance Crescent School [13, 21]. I found out where I am with a link earlier on this thread leading to a kind of HTML map. Neat. :)

That will be a long run and I'll probably need a while before getting to Yagoton. Now that I have a map tough, I'll be able to pinpoint goals and strategy to get stocked faster and be safer on my way...

Edit2: Here is my profile (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=169874).

[OlSheep]

Profile (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=168351)

Personnally, I believe that we should kill the visitors. The PD is *our* turf now :) . I should be in Yagoton in about two days.

I'm *very* busy atm, please keep my name on the group's list even if it seems as though I've stopped posting here. I'll be back in a few days.

[Eagle of Fire]

By the way, this thread should be moved to multiplayer alongside the KoL thread. ;)

[Alf Hari]

Can I join the group? I'm a private-rank in a suburb a few south of Yagoton at the moment. It shouldn't take me too long to get there.

My user name is Alf Hari.

By the way, while you were saying how cool the name Yagoton was, did any of you realise what three words it spells backwards?

[Alf Hari]

I'm around the are... I don't recognise anyone... I'll hang out until I can be sure I won't get clobbered by hanging around in the warehouse (there are a few people there already I think they might need persuading).

By the way, I'm Alf Hari in the game as well.

@Oberon: Try http://www.clickcop.com. Works on most firewalls. Not on Netgear though.

@a1s: Why do we need a non-graffitied building?
So you can put grafitti on it.

I'll try get to Yagoton (Notogay) tonight.

.:EDIT:.
I'm eleven squares below the lower warehouse (According to the homing device). No APs left. And could everyone add me to their contact list so I don't come up as '1 zombie'.

Dang! That's not much help then. I use it at school all the time. eMessenger, games and other stuff.

Hmm... I shall check if I've got enough APs to get to the base now. (EDIT: I'm now ten squares away rather than 11 now.)

Oh, and I have another account that I hadn't used in a while.

BobbinThreadbare [Bobbin Threadbare]1: Zombie fireman.

I rarely use this char and he's at the very bottom of the map.

YAY! i got it working

I'm in Ridleybank but happy to start heading for anywhere (tomorrow, when i've got some APs).

[Mr Miau]

I finally made it to Yagoton, but not yet to the warehouse. Current location: Newbould PD

[Doubler]

Oh well... Freelancing is boring :P
I'll head for yagoton too :)
I'm in Roachtown, it'll take a while.
:cheers:

EDIT: I'm in Brooke Hills now, in some loosely barricaded church surrounded by hordes of zombies :(

EDIT: I'm so dead. A zombie bashed away the barricades, and I fled with my two remaining AP's into a neighbouring building, which happens to be unbarricaded. There are currently hordes and hordes of zombies about, and I can only hope nobody'll bother to check in my building :(
Hope someone of you can revive me...
And if anybody wants to help, I'm in St. Luke's.

[Eagle of Fire]

I been searching in Cuthbert General Hospital for a complete day now and I have 11 medikits. I feel safe enough to adventure around and I'll try to find some weapons while heading to the rendez-vous point. With some luck the hospital won't be attacked, or I won't die in it until tomorow because there seems to be around 30 people in that hospital. :)

Do we have a name for our "clan" yet?

My profile: http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=168351

Yay, I've got some free time and I can post :) .

I'm in Barville at the Gaze Library [41, 40] with 0 AP (whew). It wasn't easy navigating in that surburb, I had to go through a big group of zombie (about 9 of them). That could have meant a lot of XP :sniper: . I should be able to reach Yagoton tomorrow and gain a level by friday (51 xp atm). And, on the plus side, I'll have to go through the city zoo of Ketchel Bank! I'll try to search the area for popcorn or something.

I think we should all try to go to the warehouse [44, 12] so that we can then all move together and capture the Hinks Crescent Police Dept [44, 15]. We shouldn't stay in the warehouse as it won't make a good HQ. We'll need a building that will give us ammo or medkits (a PD, a mall or an hospital).

Does anyone have the Construction (Player is able to barricade buildings.) skill? If we are to capture anything, we'll need heavy barricades :) .

We also have to decide what kind of behavior we'll adopt toward other humans. We can either try and be some kind of police force, we can try to hold our fort and kill anything that moves or we could simply all go zombie.

Personnally, I'd like to capture Yagoton as our territory. There are already many groups dedicated to "protecting the innocents". But that's only me, we should vote or something.

[Blood-Pigggy]

I'm going to take my insanely strong character and slaughter you all.

:D

[Kearnsy]

aww how sweet. :D

Im at Hinks Cresent Police station in Yagoton!!!!!
:Brain: :Brain:
No AP points though :not_ok:

Some one sprayed something about THE ABANDONED in there, is that us?

Also there is a huge group of Zombies (30 of them) to the east and south east (in groups of about 4.
I had to go straight through them!! :ph34r:

I'll just be collecting stuff and killing stuff until the rest of the team gets there

[Oberon]

we are currently at the warehouse [45, 15] (the next building on the right side) .. but we aren't sure whether to take/make Crescent PD as our HQ or another PD.. as already mentioned.. the Crescent PD is full of
other Humans.. therefore i would suggest either Beckey Arms [47, 11] or Moorhouse Place PD [48, 11] .. Northeast in Yagoton.. as our HQ.. but i didn't checked both places yet.. so i don't know if they are empty..

But before we decide where to make our HQ i would suggest to wait at warehouse [45, 15] till all members joined there...

[Bobbin Threadbare]

I'm outside the warehouse in Yagoton with the spraypainted 'The Abandoned headquarters'. -1 APs. Don't attack me if you've not added me to contacts.

[Bobbin Threadbare]

@Oberon: Try proxify.com or proxinator.com it's of them that does the same thing.

I'm outside the warehouse. I'm a zombie. Don't hurt me and I won't hurt you.

I'm still alive :Brain:
Seems like nobody bothered to check in the cathedral :)

I'm currently in the Hinks Crescent Police Dept [44, 15], awaiting any news (and searching for ammo :) )

[OlSheep]

my profile (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=168351)

There are 6 dead bodies here. You recognise Bobbin Threadbare amongst them.

LOL

Sheesh, don't even think about spending a night in the zoo, there were zombies everywhere. 18 of them were waiting in the bear pit :blink: . I've reached the warehouse and we really need a stronger barricade :) .

If Hinks Crescent Police Dept is full, we should try and capture Holsgrove Row Police Dept [42, 17]. In fact, we shouldn't even try to create a base in Crescent, Holsgrove Row is next to an hospital, it's a much more valuable location (we'll need the first aid kits if those of you who decided to play as healers -medics or doctors- are to gain levels).

Since there have been a lot of talks about getting a HQ, I assume we can safely say that we all want to stay humans. We really need to decide whether we'll take a building by force (kill everybody in it) or simply secure a small neighborhood as our territory and protect the humans in it.

Keep in mind that Police Departments are popular places. I don't think we'll find an empty one (unless a horde of zombies just passed by).

I'd also like to suggest that we elect someone as our leader so that deciding what we'll do next isn't drowned in the chaos of the topic. Since a1s is the topic starter (he can edit the very first post in it) and since he has the strongest characters of the group, I'd vote for him (if he's interested, of course)... What do you think?

edit:
Somebody has spraypainted the poster from X-Com apocalypse onto a wall.
sweet :) !

[Mr Miau]

Great, soon after i healed someone with may medikit to get some xp, i was infected.... Gotta search for a hospital, dammit.

EDIT: The only hospital in Yagoton is barricaded! Does someone of you have a medikit handy?

EDIT2: Better hurry, I'm down to about 20 HP and in our "arms depot", but from now on I'm not going to move in order to reduce my HP-losses.... :help:

[Toxik]

i healed you

[Mr Miau]

Great, I owe you something! Thx a lot! And what? I just found a shotgun! Yippieh!

Toxik1 (http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=173060)

Yes, it is normal. As I said in the guide I posted earlier, leveling as a doctor/medic is hard.

[Mr Miau]

My next skill will be weapons training! Hopefully I will be able to hit and level more often then!

[Eagle of Fire]

Update: I moved up to a police station in Darvall Heights and searched for weapons. Been lucky enough to get some clips for my pistol and some shotgun shells, tough I'm likely to keep searching until I actually find a shotgun to use with the shells. By that time I should be well enough stocked to make a run of it and get to Yagoton in approximatly a week RT.

So far, I only got 2 XP in 3 days... I hope I'll be able to find out something which actually give XP soon.

[OlSheep]

You're a cop with Basic Firearms Training (Player gets +25% to hit with all firearms attacks.), your best bet at gaining xp would be hit and run against zombies. It'll require a lot of ammo but it'll work.

[edit]: Darval Height isn't far from Yagoton, you could be at the warehouse with about 25 - 30 APs, why wait :) ? A tip, just in case, once you're ready for the trip, travel diagonally as much as possible to save APs.

[Doubler]

Yes, it'll crank your XP output up to 20 in three days LOL
If you're lucky :P

[OlSheep]

Huh guys? There's a zombie in the warehouse...

[edit]: Dropped the zombie to 38HP and tried to flee. I failed. Miserably. I'm stuck outside a building with no AP. With a bit of luck I'll be able to enter it -undamaged- in 30 minutes. I should have kept attacking. Please note that the warehouse's door is still wide open. We should really barricade before tagging that a building is our HQ :) .

[edit2]: A zombie attacked me, 26 hp left, still no AP... I've got things to do and I can't stop monitoring a browser-based game...

[last edit]: The zombie had a friend, dropped me to 20 HP. Fortunately, I could enter the factory [46, 11] before dying. It's strongly barricaded so feel free to join me if you feel like fleeing our visitor. And... if there's a medic/doctor in the group who's interested in some easy XP :whistle: ...

[a1s]

I've taken care of the Zed. and the baricades are back up.has anyone died in this attack?

I don't mind, but we should actualy have a vote. and we need more candidates. (what kind of commie vote would it be if we only had one candidate?!)

P.S. Kearnsy, I need your profile.

LOL

Of course, other candidates would be nice. Anyhow, it might be a good idea to officially announce (in the first post?) the elections so that those who are interested may manifest themselves.

I guess we should also include the option not to have a leader, just in case the majority isn't interested in having a democratically-structured group :) . A king-of-the-hill, survival-of-the-fittest kind of system might be fun too. Having a self-proclaimed leader would also be nice as far as roleplaying is concerned.

Then again, maybe that's just a lot of trouble for nothing. Would it be better to simply setup a poll to decide where our HQ will be?

I spend way too much time thinking about these things. And... I should really stop trying to structure everything seeing how I'm only a newb around here :P .

[Kearnsy]

Oh yeah sorry

yeah i'm too thinking about structure and my opinion is that we need a HQ and a raw structure as soon as possible or the group Abandoned get's abandoned ..

First, i agree with a1s as our Leader, as mentioned before he has the most skills and exp.. with Urban Dead but i also think we should make a poll to keep it democratic...

A poll for our HQ is also a good idear (imho) but i believe that we should keep Yagoton as our Suburb.. because most members are already there.. so i would suggest to pick some interesting locations/buildings in Yagoton and add them to the poll. My suggestion:
Beckey Arms [47, 11] or Moorhouse Place PD [48, 11] (northeast) few blocks away from the Mall

and we should discuss about the group structure, what are the main goals (if there are any), do we claim Yagoton as our turf or are we a "liberate" group in this case we would use our force to liberate yagoton and maybe all neighbour suburbs from the zombie infestation.. (imo the first option is more.. ehm interesting and challenging :guns: )

I move back to the base when I've done for the day. That might keep 'em occupied. Was one of the guy's name begin with F? I got killed (again) by him. And I need 33XP to get to 100XP so I can get the 'move same speed as humans' ability.

As for the election thing. Don't sign me up. I'd be no good as a leader for this game.

Welcome to Urban Dead, Aristharus
You'd been working for NecroTech for a few months, before the disturbances began and the government quaratined the city. Several NecroTech labs were kept open under military guard during the evacuation, including the building you'd been working in - the decision was eventually made to relocate research operations to outside the quarantine zone.

During the relocation, however, you became separated from your military escort as you passed through Greentown, and are now wandering the city.

I went searching for a unlocked hospital and found 2 medikits, but unfortunately I ran out of AP and am still there. tomorrow i will come back to aid you, after i searched a little bit more. :)

What I hate about this game is how buggy it is. I always receive at least twice each day a message about too much connections... And right now I type my name and my pass and I can't even connect! :blink:

I bet a1s healed me.

[Eagle of Fire]

Well, finnaly managed to play my turns. I think there was something like a time warp earlier because I ended up back where I started.

Anyways, I found out a lot of arms and ammo in the police station and I'm trying to gain a level. When I'll do so I'll take pistol proficiency which will allow me to up my to hit to 55%. Since I have 6 pistols fully charged on me, it should be easy to level up afterward.

Yagoton, warehouse [45, 15].

[Eagle of Fire]

Same here, I'm now level 2 and I purchased like I said the pistol proficiency which make me jump to 55%.

I'm back to the hospital I was the other day and I decided to search for medi-kits since I only have 2 left. I'll search for around 20 and I'll probably take the medic trait since 10 hp healing is way better than 5. My medi-kits should last longer this time...

[Bobbin Threadbare]

I must kill some zombies. I've been playing Zelda too much.

[Toxik]

Bobbin i think weapons cannot be trade... at least until the makers of the game upgrade it to this funcionality. so you have to go to a police station and spend many AP's trying to find one...

and a question: i'm heading for yagoton, but i'm starting to be unsure about it. i mean, i've killed a lot of zombies and i've slept at many buildings (mostly police depts) and i've never been attacked! you seem to be always in trouble...

This is how probability works - each attack is a separate die roll, so there's a possibility that you won't get as many hits as you'd expect. But it's equal to getting more hits than you'd expect, and a lot of the time you'll get about as many hits as you'd expect and not notice. [/quote]

You have to decide either for Firearms Skills or melee weapon Skills when you begin..
makes it alot easier to advance in the skill tree.
When u start as a human u have to descide these things at the beginning, at the Signup screen.. that doesn't mean that u can't learn other skill types..
so if you whant to use firearms primarily, then i would suggest to look at PD & Weapon shops, if u wanna use melee weapons like fire axe's then a FD or a warehouse would be a good location to search..

After my shrt trip to the hospital I healed some of you guys (it was me, Olsheep), but I'm still far away from leveling. I guess it will take me about 2 more days to reach lvl 2.... X(

Thank you!
I don't think this will help but I *think* that healing a zed will net you some XP. Usually, the zombies around our base are low on HP...

[Eagle of Fire]

Yes, it does. Read the Wiki faqs.

[Doubler]

There are two zombies in the HC PD :omg:
I took a few shots at one of them, but it seems to be a high level one, and it has a flak jacket. I left it at 49HP. If someone has some ammo and AP left...

Dammit, the second hospital is fully barricaded, too. Where shall I get my medikits now? Searching in the mall results only in thousands of wirecutters! AAAAAAAAAAARGH!

[Bobbin Threadbare]

I'm in the PD next to us. No arms in there. Nor were there any others in the ther PDs in Yagoton. And I noticed if you clean a house of dead bodies you get one XP. What a way to make a living. :D Anyway, I've not got any APs and I added Doubler.

[Doubler]

Hi, Bobbin Threadbare :bye:
I'm out of ammo... I hate being out of ammo :P

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Hey, Doubler. I'm out of any weapon. Damn one damge punch is all I've got. I liked it better when I was dead. 30% Bite @ 4dam. Perhaps I shall try to trade with my other account...

[Doubler]

Errr, you can just search the PD for weapons, right?
I never had any trouble finding them...

[Bobbin Threadbare]

I searched a three PDs in Yagoton and I still couldn't find one. You've gotta be inside the building, right?

[Doubler]

Yes, you have to be inside. It's all about luck, this game...
But how would you want to trade?

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Waddya mean how do I want to trade?

[Doubler]

Perhaps I shall try to trade with my other account... How would you go about that? :)

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Dropping the item you get from starting as a firefighter and then letting my other user pick them up. What an easy way to get weapons.

[RedHeadSebbe]

Iwe found two shotguns and two shells, thats all...

[OlSheep]

Officially, trading hasn't been implemented yet. The dev(s) is(are) scared that it will imbalance the game. I didn't try it but I'm pretty sure a dropped item will automatically disappear. And the rules clearly state that, should you decide to play many characters, they must not cooperate together in any way.

Am I allowed to play multiple characters?
You are, provided that they lead completely separate existences within the game. If two or more characters are found to be working together in a suspicious fashion and the game's records suggest that they're being controlled by a single player, then any number of characters belonging to that player may be permanently disabled.

(If you're sharing a computer or workplace with other players, it's recommended that you don't work together too closely, as this may be wrongly interpreted as cheating.)

[edit] is it only me or it's getting harder to find zombies around our HQ?

[edit2] there's a zed 2 squares west of our HQ (the Garnsey Building), it only has 14 HP left.

[Doubler]

Uhm, people, there are two zombies in the PD :blink:
Again...

[Eagle of Fire]

The PD is where you should look for weapons. I looked in a PD and I got 6-7 pistols, one shotgun and more than enough clips to reload them all. All this in around 100 turns...

[Doubler]

There are now 3 zombies inside the PD. I'm just going for a little hike (After having wasted all but two of my AP firing at the things)...

[OlSheep]

Sheesh, I really wish I had looked there before spending 10 APs searching for a zed to kill :) .

Thanks for the heal, Toxik.

[Oberon]

they are haunting us... 3 Zombies Outside PD and 2 Inside.. also 2 zed's 1 block southeast... so if anybody needs fast level up.. this might ur chance.. but take care.. they are not all inactive.. while i attacked a zed outside of the PD another zed has joined my little party there.. to take care of his brother.. but he didn't infected me..

also i noticed that SonnyBonds lies dead outside of the PD.. what happend to you?.. hopefully a1s can revive u when u come back as a zombie..

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Yay! Sonny Bonds is back. I'm not dead.

.:EDIT:.
Two zombies in the PD. I'm infected, so could a medic heal me?

[jamiroo]

it's the PD our headquarters? if so, how is it possible to be full of zombies? can't nobody barricate it?

[RedHeadSebbe]

I need revival.....Plz..

[Aristharus]

I'm finally getting closer to Yagoton, at Roachtown at the moment, but... I'm a zombie now. :cry:

EDIT: Btw, Roachtown's full of zombies. When I started my turn, I saw more than 15 zombies on the screen. So if someone needs zombies to kill, Roachtown could be a good place to go.

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Thanks for the tip. :ok:
I shall go there when I've got some decent arms.

[Aristharus]

Be careful though. If the zombies don't move away from there, there will really be LOTS of them.

I'm at the Ledamun Monument in Brooke Hills (http://www.jonathanfletcher.f2s.com/urbandead/mapping.php?suburb=25) (just south of Yagoton), i think, as a zombie, so if anyone with extra syringes is passing by or something, feel free to revive me!

EDIT: Not anymore! Now I'm at the cemetery [45, 18] of Yagoton. Still as a zombie though.

[RedHeadSebbe]

Im outside our HQ and need revival, anyone want the XP, feel free to do it.....Or else... :evil: J/K

[Kearnsy]

Hahahaha...I just used 42 bullets and 3 shotgun shells and I got a grand high Exp total of (drum roll)... 10!!
:ranting: :ranting: :wall: :wall: LOL

[Eagle of Fire]

What is your % chance to hit? With only 30%, it's easily possible...

[Doubler]

Hehe, I've currently got four shotguns and four pistols :D
By the way, there are sixteen (!) dead bodies outside the PD... Won't that make for an undead army soon?

[Oberon]

damn it.. i didn't get in.. the server is temp.. down.. since 18:30 PM (2h) great.. now i have my full AP points but can't use them... :angry: UD needs a new..and better Server..

That's so true. It's ridiculous, nothing but the login page works. One would expect that they'd try to keep the news online, if only to warn the players about the downtime...

Aaarrg, this server really s****!

[Shunk Eat Enemy]

wow the time ive been playing i just received 1 move after moving 13 times wow it took me 30 minutes to do that thats sad :eeeeeh:

[Aristharus]

I'm at the Abandoned Armory. There's even a NecroTech building nearby. So someone revive me! Now!

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Can someone please help me! I've got 4HP and I'm infected. I'm in the HQ.

[OlSheep]

We need to clear the warehouse north of our HQ. There are a lot of zeds there. One of them is almost dead :bye: .

[Eagle of Fire]

To "clear" Zombies is a strange way to call things. Can we actually kill Zombies or annoy them more than having them to lose 10 AP to stand up? If they have a certain ability, they only need 1 AP to stand up... :blink:

[Doubler]

After you get the zombie hunter ability, you cause them to lose XP.
Besides that, the only way I see it is that you can hold them off untill someone can revive them...

[OlSheep]

Way to kill the "atmosphere" guys :P . This is a roleplaying game and we're supposed to be protecting our territory. Hunt them down like dogs and they'll leave.

[Toxik]

no,they will regroup and siege our base

[Eagle of Fire]

Besides that, the only way I see it is that you can hold them off untill someone can revive them... And then all what you need is to find a building you can jump down from and you're dead again in a loss of only 2 or 3 AP... :blink:

On another note, I just learned today that there is a carrying capacity limit. ;)

I'd suggest that we barricade our place and all the building around to the max so nobody can enter them except for the PD's, Fire Stations and Hospitals and that everybody in our team get free running so we can enter those houses as we please. This should prevent the Zombies from jumping from the windows and prevent them from hiding in buildings too. As soon as a building would be damaged we'd know there is some sort of activity around there.

[OlSheep]

Sounds like a good plan to me. Even if they regroup to siege our base, it's no fun if there's no challenge...

Anyone here agrees with the idea of getting our group a page in the game's wiki? We're gonna need a flag and a description of our political structure and ideals...

[OlSheep]

http://webmouton.pingouin.ca/ABFLAG.png

I thought this could become a good flag... the only thing missing is a logo that would represent us...

Feel free to comment, edit the picture, insult me, whatever... Should the group's page in the wiki fail to generate any interest, I won't create one by myself, no worries there :) .

[Shunk Eat Enemy]

yep that sounds good to me im in Rolt Hieghts currently workin my way towards you guys ill save up all my turns for walking i guess LOL

[Aristharus]

I got revived at last, but.. I screwed up saving my two last APs to enter a building I thought I could enter. I couldn't. It was barricaded one step too much and now I'm waiting in front of it. Probably not a good thing.

I'll wait for 30 minutes and see if I'm still alive.

[Bobbin Threadbare]

I was on 19HP thanks to you guys and I'm uninfected. Then I headed out of HQ and noticed Sonny Bonds's body lying on the steps. Next I went to the PD and managed to get a shotgun shell and a pistol clip. Next I went to the hospital just east of the base. (1S4E) I got two medkits and I'm now on 34HP. So people can still heal me.

PS: Do you need a gun to use the ammo?
PPS: As for the flag. I'll post later and show you my edited version.

.:EDIT:.
Aristharus, where exactly sure you?

No problem, it was my mistake, not being so careful about the amount of barricades. By the way, I'll be able to revive people after some 20 XP or so. :)

And the avatar's a wet cat. :P I just found the picture somewhere on the internet. The pic had the text "Bad hair day" above the cat.

Sure, I'd like to see someone else's take on the flag too. I'm no artist, I patched up something real quick to get the idea started. And, as I said, feel free to edit the pic I've posted... I agree with the signup thing. You can't post in the Multiplayer Challenges forum w/o being a member anyway.

Well... I'm a newb here, I really don't feel like PMing someone who doesn't know who I am and ask for a flag :) . And I'm not your leader (in fact, the elections haven't progressed at all) so that means I can't speak for the whole group. Oh and let's not forget that, as is written in my sig, I have problems expressing myself properly in English, that doesn't make me the best candidate to ask around for help...

I just thought that it was important to officialize our presence in UD's world. The best way to do that is through the wiki. Now that the idea is in circulation, I'm hoping our members will submit both, ideas for our structure and pics for our flag. If, in a few days, nothing has happened, I'll simply post a rough copy of what could become our wiki's page here and we'll see where things go from there. Fortunately, the idea seems to be generating more interest than both the elections and the poll for our HQ :D .

[edit2]: You attack the zombie for 3 damage. They die. My first kill! Wooohoo :)

AFAIK, we're still trying to sort out what it is that we're gonna do. So you can pretty much level your character in any way you want.

I'd like to use this opportunity to say that I think we should barricade both our warehouse and our equipment locker (the police department) heavily (so free running could become a very useful skill). Once this is done, I think we should kill unwelcome visitors so that only our members can use our "facilities".

[Shunk Eat Enemy]

hmmm so you are saying doard up everydoor and start player killing how fun is that none at all... im only killing things that are going to bite me LOL
and boarding up all the houses inst a good idea just yet not everyone has free running :-p (LIKE ME FOR INSTANCE) LOL

"Player killing" is what the game is all about. That's why it's so fun. Zombies are players too :) .

The thing here is that we're in an unchallenging area of Malton. There are no groups nearby, no military fort and no mall.

Sure, we'd have to wait for some of our members to gain a few levels before capturing the buildings for good. It wouldn't be fair not to wait until most of us buy free running. But I still think we should do it, even if it needs to be planned days ahead.

As most of our members reach the higher levels, the game'll get boring. Killing zombies isn't hard when you've got a perfectly safe HQ nearby. And, remember, you can create as many characters as you want, the skill tree will still be predictable.

The only way the get things moving is to turn the place into a warzone. Then we'll see if we can move strategically enough to deserve our place in the gameworld. Furthermore, what's the point of having a group if we stay where we are and wait for something to happen? We're not here to water flowers and mow the lawn :) .

Yet, there hasn't been much support for the endeavors I have suggested. Should I take that as "we're not interested, shut up OlSheep" :) ?

[Eagle of Fire]

I don't think I understand what you mean by that. I already suggested a battle plan, it's up to us to accept it and actually put it into action...

[Mr Miau]

The barricading thing is a good idea, but we shoul wait 'til most members got Free Running (it will be my next skill, too)

[Oberon]

i agree with OlSheep, we need a Target for our group, or this abandonia group ends even before it's really started..

Ok Lets see, we all accepting warehouse [45, 15] and the PD nearby as our HQ and Equipment base.

next, We don't have a leader.. maybe thats the prob.. because nobody feels responsible
for the group.. maybe we have to act more like a group to be a group..(wich doesn't mean whe have to act like the Borgs :borg: ) i can only describe how other UD groups handle this.. One Leader and someone who updates the group database/list and he/she is also responsible for the group page @ wiki.. that's how it may work..

yeah i like the idear.. but before we turn notogay in a warzone we should wait till all members have skills like free running, and we need more members with barricade skills.. i have it but i doubt this will be enough for a war.. coz i'm not all day long at UD.. only for 3h max. so therefore we need other members with construction skills to hold the barricade when the horde outside try's to smash it down..

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Since we're talking about getting skills...
I've got 19XP to 100XP. I've got no human skills. Just zombie skills. Should I get free running? Or should I get something else?

And where do you find an actual gun? I've got about five clips and two shotgun shekks, but nothing to fire them in.

[Oberon]

free running is one of the first skills a human player needs, but when you have no weapon or melee skills then it would be the best thing to buy either a weapon/firearm skill or a melee skill.. after that it's time to buy free running..

but hey.. thats your descission, that's only my suggestion, how i would use my Xp ..

[edit2]: vandalizing our HQ and our armory is the kind of thing that would deserve a bit of human-player killing if you see what I mean...

I think I'll wait a few days for most of our members to get free running and then I'll start introducing a few strangers' face to my fireaxe. Having a leader to speak for us all and to coordinate us would be nice but I doubt it'll happen anytime soon so we might as well get things started by ourselves.

[edit3]: What's the URL to your profile, Havell :) ?

ah i totaly agree with killing zombie players and if a human player does it well hes so gonna go down :evil:

hmm i got quite a few xp i got a zombie down from 33 to 1 HP and have no turns left and im standing right next to him im gonna murder him!

[Doubler]

I vote that we work up towards taking and defending some more dangerous and coveted areas. Start out from here, then see if we can expand. Move if necessary :)
I don't really like the idea of PK'ing myself.

And I'll take just about anyone as leader :P

[Toxik]

i healde a zombie(i needed those xp)and it sayed you cure their infection
does it mean he cant use that skill anymore?

[Havell]

What do I do? I'm lying dead in a building and I have the required 10AP to stand up as a zombie. I don't know if it's easier to stay here and wait to be healed by another player or get up and go somewhere to get healed. Any help?

Well, I dunno... I suppose there could be a few interesting alternatives to killing other humans. Yagoton isn't far from Shearbank (http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Shearbank) (the link leads to the wiki). AFAIK, this suburb is quite the disputed area. Maybe we could launch "Operation secure Shearbank's Stickling Mall [53, 23] for fellow human players"? That could be a good challenge and it could require a lot of strategy. A mall is a 2x2 area which means that we'll need our members to have both construction and free running. Then again, no excitement can be guaranteed, the wiki hasn't been updated for some time so there's no way to tell what we'll find once we get there. I guess that's part of the fun.

Of course, the big idea here is that the guys from DARIS (http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/DARIS) could still be in the area. This means that, in order to secure the mall, we'll have to kill other human players. The good thing here is that these guys are all PKers. Therefore, we would not be PKilling, we'd be bounty hunting (in other words, we'd be the good guys). Should the area still be heavily disputed, our arrival (and, eventually, our success in securing the mall) could very well give us a comfy place in UD's community.

This could get very messy. If things go wrong, we'll need someone with the ability to revive us. a1s hasn't posted here since Oct 6th. I'm not sure where that leaves us. In fact, I think he controls our group's only scientist. This means that there'll be some work to do, no point in moving around if we can't get a revive should the need arise. Should this plan be accepted, free running will become an essential skill. As we move together throughout Malton (we could reach the mall in one day but we'd end up with no APs to defend the place, we'll have to spend the night somewhere nearby to strike as swiftly as possible), we will probably rest in heavily barricaded places (large groups could attract zeds). And holding a mall with inferior barricades doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

Even if DARIS has left the suburb, defending a 4x4 area from zeds is still more interesting than defending our warehouse from graffiti :) .

This sounds fun to me, this could be a nice little adventure :)...

[edit]: Aristharus is a scientist too :)!

My guess would be that it would be better to stand up and travel towards our HQ. At least, once you get a revive, you'll already be where you want to be...

[edit]: Someone as spray painted "Reviv clinic at St Swithun's [45,17]" inside both our HQ and our armory. I guess it could be an easy way to get a revive...

[Eagle of Fire]

I've got 19XP to 100XP. I've got no human skills. Just zombie skills. Should I get free running? Or should I get something else?

And where do you find an actual gun? I've got about five clips and two shotgun shekks, but nothing to fire them in.
Don't sue me on this, but I think that you carry on the XP's from Zombie to Human when you get revived. So if you think that it's harder to get XP in Human form, get killed and get 100XP as a Zombie then get back to the HQ to be revivified. This is my suggestion on this.

For the skills, take a weapon skill first or else you'll have a very hard time leveling. Since I got my pistol skill at 55% I'm getting lot of XP's...

I considered this and, if you see no objections, I'll take the scientist skill next so I can revive if necessary. I have no idea how this works tough, so some help on this part would be interesting.

Stay down until you get your full 50AP. If you stand up with only 10 AP then you have no way to do something else and you'll more than likely get killed again very fast, so it's worthless. If you want to go the Zombie way, then get Lurching Gait and Ankle Grab ASAP.
#* Lurching Gait: Zombie can walk as fast as the living.

* * * Ankle Grab: Zombie only spends 1AP standing up.

I fail to see why anyone would object to your getting that skill, seeing how useful it'll be :ok: . I'm not sure where exactly the revive skill is in the skills tree. I see that you have NecroTech Employment so there's a chance you may be able to buy it before long.

I'll probably get it too in a few days. Too bad I spent all my APs fixing graffiti and searching our armory for a flak jacket :) .

To revive someone, you need to search a NectroTech building (you can identify one with the NecroTech Employment skill) to find a NecroTech Revivification Syringe Mark 2. You can then use these on a corpse to revive the player who'll be a human the next time he stands up.

[edit]: Just checked the wiki. After NecroTech Employment, you can get "Lab Experience - Can recognise and operate basic-level NecroTech equipment". My guess is that this is the skill needed to use the syringes.

[Oberon]

about human kills human at ud:
this nothing foreign to the zombie genre.. ever watched "28 days Later" or "Dawn of the Dead (Original)" ?!? it's a normal act.. and remembers me to the quote: (something like that): war turns human to beasts... so it's all about survive...
but that doesn't mean that automaticly all humans are on our side....

here some advice.. u need 2 necrotech skills to revive a zombie to a human back..
first: NecroTech Employment (Player is able to operate DNA Extractors, and can identify NecroTech offices from the street.)
second skill:
Lab Experience (Can recognise and operate basic-level NecroTech equipment.)
so u must agree to spend 200 xp to really revive a zombie to a human... or else u gonna waste your XP...

nice idear.. but i still think we should wait till all members have at least level 2 or 3 to move on shearbank... but i agree with you, that we need something to do as group, some targets where we can use our shared XP's to make some impact..
Shearbank might be a good target.. but i suggest, that we don't come to close to Ridleybank.. i mean look at the Sub Urb Map (http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Suburb) there are 200 or more zed's at ridleybank and stanbury village.. my zed char is one of them and so far what i saw is, that they maked a zombie zone out of ridleybank and stanbury village.. ok some might think that this is a good chance for us to explode each one's XP.. but it also a good chance to die between minutes.. so my opinion is we should stick Shearbank as our new target zone, but till we all move to Shearbank we should wait for the other group members to level up...

and btw.. sorry for my insulting english.. i'm a bit drunken... atm :bleh: :Brain:

[OlSheep]

Great, that's 3 of us getting ready for our little trip to Shearbank :).

Should the place happen to be devoid of any threat, securing a small area in Ridleybank (St Jude's Hospital [53, 40] seems nice) could be fun too (sorry if I turn a deaf hear to your advice, Oberon ;)). Look at the tracker (http://www.roomiescomic.com/zombie/view.php), Ridleybank is heavily updated and, obviously, all red :). Of course, there's no way we could secure the whole suburb, there aren't enough of us. But still, it sounds like a good backup plan.

If DARIS is still holding Shearbank, securing the mall is probably gonna be a much more interesting challenge for us though. And it's gonna be much more useful too!

Since the idea of going to Shearbank is generating a bit of interest, I'd like to decide when we'll leave. Unless we decide of a fixed date, we're never gonna move, we'll just keep waiting for our members to level up. I guess that's not a bad thing in itself but, sooner or later, this could kill the group.

I'd like to suggest that we first start moving on October 21st. That leaves us a week to get ready. Once we're agreed on a date, I'll try to plan an itinerary so that we'll all be able to rest near the mall before we try to go and secure it.

I think our best bet would be to go in and heavily barricade the four areas of the mall. Therefore, those who want to join and fight with us will need construction and free running (I know I've been repeating this a lot but, hey, better safe than sorry). Actually, I guess construction is kind of optional but not free running :) .

Starting approximately September 21, DARIS was driven out of Shearbank by a massive zombie incursion, coinciding with ongoing human attacks by rival groups such as the SLA, though the importance of the human involvement is debatable. DARIS is generally considered to have dissolved after this event took place.

Chances are that the mall is already safely barricaded and filled with humans. It's gonna be hard to know whether or not they are PKillers. I guess we'll need to get in there, wait and see. If the mall is just another safehouse, like our warehouse, we'll rest there and move on to Ridleybank (so things will be interesting, no matter what).

It would also be nice if a few of us could get spray cans. We'll need to spray our group's name all over the the place :).

ridleys bank :ph34r: it has to have at least 400 zombies your insane LOL well i guess you want fun and thats a good place to start LOL

Since I've got a fire axe I'll get the axe skills. Then I'll be on 25%. I really want a gun.

I think OlSheep should be the captain.

[Shunk Eat Enemy]

i have 3 pistols a flare gun and a shotgun :w00t:

[Eagle of Fire]

Alright, so I'll take the skill to revive, then free running and then baricade building. Once this is done I'll probably get diagnosis since I really have too much medkits on me for nothing and then I'll add 10% to my 55% pistol. Or add 25% to my shotgun skill...

[Oberon]

Hey OlSheep that sounds like a well thought plan.. mkay Oct. 21.. i'm ok with the time set.. but the different time zones can make it difficult to move at once ... i mean i live in europe you in canada others in Australia.. any suggests how to handle this?

Hey Shunk Eat Enemy can u post your profile link here.. thx

i also have fire axe skills.. and i've never done well with my fire axe.. to many misses
but since i have Hand-to-Hand Combat too i get much more hits.. and the good thing about axe fighting is that you never need ammo to fight with it :Titan: :ok:

I think OlSheep should be the captain.I have no problem with this descission, if he accept the title

So I'd be the insane captain LOL?

Seriously though, I can't accept the title unless everybody agrees. And, please, consider the fact that I don't have the pretension of thinking I'd be an exemplary candidate for such an honor. I don't have a lot of experience with the game and the things I'm suggesting here are just that: suggestions. We could end up failing miserably and, you know, I don't want to be :tomato:. With that being said, I'd be glad to lead the group through the adventure we're currently planning.

Hey OlSheep that sounds like a well thought plan.. mkay Oct. 21.. i'm ok with the time set.. but the different time zones can make it difficult to move at once ... i mean i live in europe you in canada others in Australia.. any suggests how to handle this?

I don't think we need to move at the exact same time. As long as we're all firing in the same direction, things should go relatively smoothly. The thing here is that I'm not sure setting an hour and calculating the difference between the timezones would be a good idea. I mean, it's a browser-based MMORPG, I'm fairly certain nobody here wants to modify his schedule to play it at a given hour. Just make sure you follow the correct itinerary and spend your APs as wisely as possible during the fight. Playing this way also has the hidden advantage of allowing those who enters the fray first to warn the others about what to expect.

Frankly, I don't expect a massive fight. My bet is that DARIS has left the area. The place could still be dangerous (all malls are supposed to be) but unless only only a handful of us decide to go, we should be sufficiently numerous to satisfyingly secure the place. So we'll probably end up travelling to Ridleybank. Once there, the plan will be to protect one building and see if we can expand from there. This means that we won't go in there rambo-style, we'll have to plan ahead and move slowly.

[Shunk Eat Enemy]

well olsheep seems to always be on the ball and always thinking ahead why not he gets my vote

EDIT
wow i just read about daris i dont like there views to much :eeeeeh:

[Eagle of Fire]

Don't worry Olsheep; leaders are not there to be right all the time, leaders are there to lead, send everyone efforts in the same direction and give hope of success to the others. We don't expect you to actually know everything in the game, we'll learn at the same time as you do. :ok:

[OlSheep]

If anyone wants some easy XP, there are 11 zombies in front of the Serrell Building [49, 18]. I killed 2 of them without retaliation.

I've added a captain's cap to my avatar ;) .

[Shunk Eat Enemy]

hay thanks eagle for the healing :w00t:

from now on im never gonna use the speak command in UD if i dont have to it uses up a turn

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Gah! I don't have Homecoming Beacon installed on this PC. Nice captain's hat, Sheep. I only suggested you be the leader because you're coming up with all the ideas for our mission. A1s seems to have left to.
