Urban Dead - Monroeville

[LK]

This game needs a new Scientist class: Architect.  Starts with Construction. 

[Numtini]

I lasted like two hours before I zombified. This game is fantastic.

[NiX]

I'm hidden away in Newtown. Everyone with me is in agreement: We don't make a sound, we don't attract attention and we shoot anyone who disagrees with this.

[Samwise]

I love the intense feeling of paranoia that a permaundeath environment generates.

[Falwell]

So I'm holed up at one of the schools with about 10 other people. I venture out when AP allows and take a few swings at a zombie with ye ole fire axe then head back and search for books to study for XP.

It's pretty quiet up in this neck of the woods so far. I keep waiting to log in and find myself zombified. All's well so far though.

Also, what's a good channel to tune my radio to, or is there an F13 radio channel we should use?

[LK]

That Hospital I was in fell *hard*.  33 zombies are eating everyone up.  I dumped a few bodies, searched for a few kits, then got out of there.  I almost made it to Lv. 2 but it's doubtful I will!  At least I bought myself some time by getting the hell away from the feeding frenzy.  But I know I won't be safe for long at my current digs.

I was honestly surprised to wake up alive this morning.

[Samwise]

Finally got my first tasty brain, and my first zombie level!  Tremble before the might of my 20% hit chance!

[Triforcer]

I must be a newb.  I've wandered for days and seen like one zombie and zero other survivors.  Every building I enter has the doors wide open and is completely ruined.  I keep clicking on "search" but it always says I don't find anything.  I have 2 exp 

[Teleku]

Just an FYI for everybody fleeing the Hospital/Police station (which were right next to each other).  There are several buildings heavily barricaded (but some of them you can get into ) directly north of the Hospital/Police station.  I think one of them is another police station actually.  So if you need a short term place to flee to, go there, build up AP, then make the sprint.  Don't run south 3 blocks and hide in an abandoned building with just the doors shut, like I did with one of my guys

You're probably in a "dead" area.  Ruined buildings only provide a 1 in 10 chance of finding an item, according to the Wiki.  If you go to the Urban Dead Wiki, you can look up maps and get your bearings.

[Samwise]

BTW, I edited the OP with a link to the original Malton server for people who find dying unfun, or are new to the game and want to get their bearings in a consequence-free playground.  I completely didn't expect UD newbies to start signing up on Monroeville.

Can zombies read graffiti?

[Mrbloodworth]

Can zombies read graffiti?

yeah. In the original game, its how you know where revive spots are.

[LK]

Haha.  I think I survived the Hospital because I WAS a Consumer and was viewed as not a threat.

Not a threat now, sure... but one day, you rotting bastards! One day!

[Teleku]

Bleg, my fireman who ran south got eaten, no more play for him.  He was 2 xp away from lvl 2 as well :(.  Ah well, saved several other chars!  Someday I'm actually going to get to level 2!

Holding up in the glasgo police station with my Doctor char now.  Don't have many first aid kits left though, need to find another powered up hospital...

[Yegolev]

Yeah, I'm in Malton because I was paying attention.  I seem to be in a fairly well-established survivor area.  Not too many people except for the lot in the police station I started in.  I hit the road in case some zombies came looking for easy meat, and other than not finding anyone, I'm doing OK.  Then again, I don't think I want to find anyone.

I found some fuel in a factory and a generator that was not running.  I put some fuel in it and the lights came on.  I was worried I had rang the dinner bell but so far I'm unmolested.  What's the point of starting up generators?

I still don't have any FAKs since the one hospital I found was too barricaded to let me in.  At least I'm armed... found a lead pipe for when I run out of ammunition!

If you got the moves, run to Hygenus while it's still active and sack the crap out of it.  I don't think 33 zombies could kill 44 people in 24 hours.  The gain for a lit building is supposedly only 5%.

I need 5 more kits to get to Lv. 2.  I'm hoping when I max out I can get the kits I need, run into Hygenus, dump any bodies I find (I'd rather take 5 guaranteed XP over 5 turns than 4-5 whiffed searches then having to find someone to get the 5 XP), get as many medkits as I can get, then run to Glasgo.

Sorry to hear about the Fireman, at least you took a couple with you.

Generators improve search rates in buildings, but, yeah, if anyone is close by, they can spot the lights.

Gens run radios and NT equipment, such as syringe manufacturing and NECRONET thingy.

I say again: if you stop playing a character after he dies, you're doing it wrong.

On the other hand, more newbie survivors means more XP for the rest of us, so maybe I shouldn't complain.   

[Teleku]

Sorry, being a Zombie is boring on this server.  I've been running around as a zombie with my first char that died, but just can't do it anymore.  I can't die, and I just run around and endlessly attack things over and over with everybody else.  No challenge, and no variety.  Playing a survivor is not only more challenging, but actually much more fun.  The zombies in general are so obviously winning on this server its just not fun for me to be one, not to mention all the extra strategy involved with being a survivor.

And SOMEDAY I will WILL get the headshot ability!  Then you'll all be sorry!!! 


Even though it would appear that absolutely nobody has it on our server..

If it's going to be a perma-death server, I'd rather be the one doing the perma-death'ing.

You could try killing other zombies for experience. :)

[Samwise]

ZKing is boring and poor manners.

[Oz]

i can't play at work (blocked), but i can at home.  If you see Oziam or Ozeigi, please don't eat me.  I promise not to blow your brains out.

[LK]

Newtown is a BAAAAAD place to be.  I'd say at least 10% of the server Survivor population just got ate because of the number of zombies that hit the crowds and all the AFK players.

Of course, everytime we raise a barricade for 0 XP, they get XP for tearing it down and get that much stronger.

According to the map, that's where I am.  Your statement is interesting, because I thought I had the whole area pretty much to myself.  Every building ruined, no survivors, no zombies, no nothing anywhere. 

[LK]

What location specifically? I'm thinking of picking up Construction so I can at least create new safehouses and restore some square to get some resources going.

[Mrbloodworth]

I'm in West Monroeville. it would be nice to see other survivors, and build a safe house.

[Samwise]

Pretty much all of West and Central Monroeville are deserted as far as I've seen.  I just made a very long hike down to South Monroeville and have finally found some signs of life.  I mean, brains.  I mean, FELLOW SURVIVORS.

Send... more... cops.

[Triforcer]

Can't remember the last building I closed the door on.  But just a few blocks from the LaFollette Museum- I think I'm WAY in the corner. 

[Teleku]

Yeah, Newtown is fucked.  Packing it in and fleeing to South Monroeville when I can.  Once I level up a char or two, I'd be happy to build up a safehouse with people here though.  Until we get the skills to build and kill though, it would probably be futile, heh.

[LK]

I wonder what percentage of the server has Lv. 10 and Headshot. Honestly.

Head shot won't save anyone.

[LK]

Not until Quarantine is put back in.  But it seems like that should have happened days ago.

Edit: I'm gonna do some RISKY stuff.  Hopefully I live through the next two days.
