    Here's something basic that I suppose I should know. Are all the zombies in the game players? If so, is there some sort of "don't hack up just any damn zombie" code that I've been breaking?

    Got Free Running finally (HtH makes a massive difference in getting those XP... ). No support skills to speak of, but it sounds like the hunting down there might be pretty good.

    Lawrence, you up for a run south or are you still building up your XP? I can go either way - I'll wait until you're ready to head out to go. I need to build my AP back up first anyway, down to 0 right now.

    I'll chop and you can make sure we live, deal? :)

    I'm ready to go whenever. Just have to wait for Kaera and figure out where we're stopping beforehand since I have no method of talking to her outside of the game.

    Right on. I generally check in mornings before leaving for work and evenings when I get home (~ 7:30 AM / 6:30 PM EST respectively). I'll keep my eyes peeled here for the signal to move out.

    No, I knew that a bunch of zombies are players, but I didn't know if any of the zombies were just NPCs. That was probably a better way to word that question.

    Zombies who are in graveyards or designated revive points (RP) mostly want a revive. Avoid attacking those ones. Most other Zombies are fair game as it is tough to tell them apart from others. Occasionally a zombie with Brain Rot will show up in a GY/RP, if you can identify a Zombie with brain rot in a RP then go ahead and attack it. Unless they are inside a powered up NT building they just waste syringes.

    Ok, yeah, I picked up on that graveyards = revive points, so I didn't do anything stupid there. I did read most of this thread before asking obvious questions -- but it's 95 pages, so I'll admit to poorly skimming a lot of it.

    Made it to West Grayside, almost there...

    I'm still alive, I closed the doors to stark(which potentially might not do shit), got the top(of 2) zombie down to 36 before having to jump over to the school. My main goal is to stay alive at the moment so that I can revive people this time.

    I hate statistics. I started as a firefighter a couple days ago. I had 12 action points and I'm outside a building that I can enter with 1 zombie in that square. I swing 11 times with my axe. Total hits...0.

    25% per swing, not to mention there probably being some kind of Dodge/Miss mechanic for all characters.

    I know and that's why I hate statistics. I understand that I could miss 100 times and that my chance to hit was still 25% on each individual swing and I would just have been unlucky.

    So since I got revived by Lawrence T Daniels (if you're a P-Aer, thank you!), is it possible to just pool up AP until I hit 50 and then stand up? Am I safe if I don't stand up? I do have enough Ap to get up and get into Stark, but I'd rather just pool up and go exploring a bit for items before I hole up in a building.

    So.. yeah, they are officially doing feeding groans outside stark to attract zeds, only 3 right now (took one out in the wasteland to the SE and started chewing on one by the door). Not sure if this means others are in the area looking for a snack, but as of 4:30 pm EST the doors of stark are closed but not secured, 17 zeds in the park, 3 outside the HQ.

    You're playing Zahariel? Who is playing Claire Eckersley then? They've been near the PAers lately, and spoke in-game in ways that they know me personally. I figured it was just you stalking me.

    What other people do I know from the real world who stalk me in a zombie apocalypse game?

    Who the hell powered Cort when St. Spyridon's is only a day away from being repaired?

    Me. I wanted to repair it so there'd be a VSB building near Stark. Since Stark is VHB now.

    Powering Cort has nothing to do with repairing it. It's not like it's more safe now. It would have been better to set it up in one of the hospitals so it would be easier to search for FAK's. There isn't really a good reason to have a generator in Cort unless we decide to put a radio transmitter there.

    as a zombie i pk'd other zombies until I got rezzed. I also have people on my list so i can avoid them in the crowd.

    Thanks for the revive for Tom Scheider. How do I get rid of an 'infection'?

    To be honest, I don't think my choice of cop as starting char was very sensible. Got no ammo, no melee weapons, searches always fail....

    well, based on what i'm hearing, stark is still under frequent assault. I'm going to to fill up on as much ammo and guns as i can carry. Once I hit 100% encumbered, i'll bounce down to stark and begin the cleansing. Would be nice if we could coordinate some people to move in at the same time. Have some of'em killing, some of them ready to repair/barricade, maybe somebody with a genny. Be even better, if we could sort of rotate a guard(s) of some kind. Just a thought.

    Them going after Stark is wonderful. I can free-run in, hit zombies a bunch, then move one step back over to the school. Perfect conditions for farming XP. :)

    Using a First Aid Kit (or having one used on you by another) will instantly cure it. You might want to consider starting over with a different class, though, since it sounds like you're low level and in a bad way for skills/supplies.
