Thunderclap, why start a new forum when you're already chatting here?

So we don't clutter up this thread with tactical co-ordination stuff?

Made it to the Hospital. I'm PL Walker (real creative, I know). Where do we go from here?

Question: I see a strong antipathy for player killers in the boards (PKers) - and being so new I am not sure what the issue is - we turn into zombies, and aren't zombies SUPPOSED to kill players? Or are we talking other characters killing players instead of zombies?

In UD, a survivor who goes around killing other survivors or a zombie who goes around killing other zombies is considered a PKer, mainly because you're not supposed to turn on your own kind.

Survivors killing zombies and zombies killing survivors, though - that's perfectly all right.

Well, we have people in Kempsterbank, South Blyville, and Chudleyton (that I know of).

The general consensus iseems to be that most people want to group up in Kempsterbank, but I myself would like to help break the siege of Caiger Mall (which spans the Chudleyton-Darvill Heights border). There are about 198 Survivors inside and 400+ Zombies outside, with the Survivors successfully holding off the Zombie advance.

(I'd love to do a quick hit-and-run on that Zombie force, myself - I only need 11 XP before I can buy Free Running!)

I set up the forum mainly cause I wanted to be able to categorize and break things better than one thread can provide.

Also, I wanted an excuse to play with phpbb Razz

But if it doesn't work out we'll return here, and of course people can use whatever they like *shrug*.

At the moment Kempsterbank is looking kinda iffy. We've had word of an 85+ zombie horde shambling in our direction, and one of our safehouses has been broken into twice already. The half dozen or so of us in the Jillard Building and/or Julie General Hospital are currently evaluating our options. With the exception of Clayfoot, nobody is strong enough to be of much good in a siege yet.

Oh and there's a few other UFers up in Heytown.

Wow, this is a neat idea, but perhaps giving first day kids more AP to use would be nice.... It's like IMPOSSIBLE to do anything of value the first day.

My first day, this is what I did:

1) Locate safehouse. You want to fidn a building thats somewhere between strongly barricaded and heavily barricaded, as they'll let you get in and out easily while giving you reasonable protection from zombies.

2) If your safehouse is something like a fire station, police department, hospital, or auto repair shop, search it. You'll find useful items:

-Police Department: Pistol, Pistol Clip, Shotgun, Shotgun Shell, Flare Gun (mainly used to signal other players), Flak Jacket (provides damage reduction).

-Fire Station: Fire Axe

-Hospital: First-Aid Kit (lets you heal people, gives you 5 XP each time you do)

-Auto Repair Shop: Crowbar, Fuel Can (used to power portable generators)

3) If it's not one of the above, but there's one nearby, go to it and search your heart out. Leave 10-15 APs, though, in case you need to make a run for a different safehouse.

OK, I decided to restart... I abandoned my Zmobified corpse and am now in the Caiger Mall as Atrophied1, I'll head up to the hospital once I regain some AP.

I'm thinking that maybe we should amass a decent sized force of survivors and go for a quick strike on the zombie horde at Caiger. If we get enough, maybe we can distract some of those buggers and get them away from the mall.

Sadly, don't count on me while I shamble about trying to learn basic game mechanics with no weapons or skills, and um kinda zombified.
