The siren songs of [chat] and procrastination were too much. I made it a whole week this time, which is a marked improvement over the 2.5 days of my last attempt.
Now taking bets at 3:1 that we see Chinese democracy before Sami goes and stays gone.
Although it looks like you guys let the place get a little dirty in my absence. An objectivist thread? Really?

I should ban everyone in there.

I could grab a ring from her jewelry box, I suppose. She wears this one ring constantly and it fits perfectly. I wish I could grab a cone of some sort and size it against that. We move in together in two weeks, so I'll start plotting then.
how else can you show your love?!
how else
If Y, can I give them to you via potato gun?
The human players actually get scared. Their adrenaline surges, they freak out, panic, etc. The suspension of disbelief isn't something you have to try to do.
Case in point, this is my face after the last zombie game:
How'd that happen?
I was a zombie. I was on a small house structure above a guy. I pounced on him from above. In his panic to get out of my grasp, he full-blast smoked me right in the mask with the butt of his rifle so hard that, well, you see what happened there.
He ran off screaming into the night. Talking to him later, it wasn't until a full hundred feet or so he even stopped to think that hey, was I even okay?
People's emotions get the better of them. I love it.
I also feel very stupid for bothering to read the last page and a half
I have four, wanna gun fight about it?

Yeah, you guys don't want Zen there. He'll fucking murder.
Soooo much fun
Also an isolated location that you've prepared for the inevitable undead epidemic helps too.
It really is the humane thing to do.
That's the thing about sniper rifles.
People and zombies can hear them. Fuck that. If I have to kill a zombie i'll do with an ax or some other quiet efficient weapon.
Adurrrrrrr
But then you have to deal with gore and possible infection from open wounds/orifices/etc.
Also there's always another zombie waiting to bite you from behind.
Damn zombies and their hearing despite death.
Airsoft sniper rifles aren't much louder than a nail gun.
The problem with sniping is that it's a night game. You can't see them in almost the best conditions. Maybe if you're a real wealthy fucker you got a nightvision scope on your rifle.
And then you spend so much time watching the world through your scope you don't even notice Zack on you till it's too late.
They'd still know where you were. I'd just take a nap somewhere and emerge unscathed after watching a night full of intense masturbation to hot LARP action.
Neither are .22LR subsonic rounds.
We would go down there and play capture the flag. Only you didn't just tag someone in your territory to get the in jail. You had to physically drag them back to your base. And any weapons you find on the beach or woods are legit.
Lots of bruises and the occasional minor bloodletting but loads of fun.
That was a pit.
In the second game, I was simply laying down in some long grass. I was tired, I had gotten lit up by five guys just a minute before, and was taking a breather before keeping going.
Then some guy who walks by doesn't see me. He was the ballsy fucker who said "Naw, fuck it, I'm using an axe for now."
He took out a lot of zombies. Smart melee combatant, dodgy.
Didn't notice me until I chop-blocked him in the back of the knee and had him in a half-nelson while I sank my face into his neck.
Yeah, walking around with just melee? Not the smartest.
Well now that's stupid forget the fact you could fall and cripple yourself thus becoming zombie snack what happens when you're surrounded by Z's and the gun jams and you have to get down?
Don't know why, but gun-to-the-temple time for this one as it seems to have moved on here.
Guy tried doing that in the first game. Only, replace tree with an wrecked school bus we got on the field.
That's the funny thing about something you can climb: it means someone else can climb it too. Oh, sure, you'll hear the first Zack coming up, and you could wheel around and take him out... but what about zombie two, or three? What about the panic you feel as you try to plug a headshot in the night and they are getting closer, letting out howls and snaps letting the rest know where you are?
Basically, being the "lone soldier" in these games is suicidal.
Same thing could happen just as easily to a person with a gun. Avoiding high grass is common sense.
also, avoiding an abandoned fucking school bus in the center of a field known for a lot of hostile activity is common sense too.
Man, there have been some bitter arguments in here over the practical points of zombie hunting. It was kinda sad, really.
