Urban Dead - Monroeville

[Triforcer]

Welp our rag tag group of survivors got split up and eaten. Triforcer went down from a zombie rush and Threash, despite having Bodybuilding, got nailed. Even Jerrith took a major hit and is at 30 HP. I was the only one to get away unscathed...

Funny how fast everything went to hell, much like every zombie movie.

Yeah, all we were missing was the one crazy survivor who starting killing the rest of the group.  I think Lorekeep was close to cracking though

Yeah, Lorekeep was out exploring, and Threash, Triforcer and I were in the same building.  I login to check on things and notice 2 zombies in the building and I'd been hit 9 seconds ago.  Well, I got out, and cured my infection, and ran.  PM'ed everyone, but they got Triforcer and got Threash low.  Low enough to die just a little later.  Meanwhile, the place I ran to turned out not to be safe either, I log in later to find that I'd been hit for 30 damage...  So another run, but only enough FAKs to heal up to 30, so I suspect I don't have much longer to live either... 537 survivors vs 2347 zombies doesn't give very good odds of survival.  Still, it's been fun. :)

The idea in Monroeville is to not be where the zombies are. Eventually they will overwhelm you.  Guerilla warfare is the name of the game.  The problem is that I honestly think Monroeville has turned into a "Who can survive the longest?" situation because he isn't going to turn on Quarantine and it's almost 5:1 ratio now of survivors to zombies. I think Kevan wants to nuke the server.

Has he turned off new player registration yet?  If he were going to nuke the server that'd be the way.

I still think he's going to turn quarantine on and there's going to be an epic zombie slaughter.

[UnSub]

In the survivor's favour, the zombies have turned on themselves. When the only way to get XP is to kill your own side, cannibalism sets in.

[Jerrith]

I died overnight...  One zombie found me, hit me and pulled me out into the street, another finished me off.

I know someone linked to a project earlier that seems to be attempting this:   I'd really like to see a good, 3D MMO like this.  Zombies vs survivors, etc...

I like the Monroeville rules (no revives) but I don't think that would work in a full commercial game.  I'd like seeing something like this:  Some sort of sci-fi scanning chamber that allows you to make a backup of yourself (and leave items for him?) if you die.  Then when you actually die, you can choose to stay as a zombie and become more powerful that way, or restore yourself from the backup losing your gains since that last backup.  If you choose to revive (instead of playing as a zombie) your dead-self becomes AI driven, which could leave to incentives for killing your former self (perhaps you get to reclaim some items?). 

I don't know, the above probably needs some more thinking. 

I will say that I've enjoyed playing UD. :)  Going to mess around as a zombie some, but I suspect I won't stay interested that long...  Too few survivors remaining.

[LK]

And down goes Jerrith.

Last man standing. *ch-chik* Come get some!

Seriously surprised that I was about ready to be the first to quit and I'm the last one standing of the group.

But yeah I would fucking love Quarantine to set in.  Jesus. I don't know what the hell is going on with this game but what it suggests appeals enough to everyone here that we've had a mighty thread develop out of it.

There's Exanimus. Not sure how vaporware it is though.

Haaaayyyyy, that looks cool. On paper.

[LK]

Wow, am I glad I check up on my guy semi-frequently. Some nimrod comes into my hiding spot, SHUTS THE DOORS (HAY! ZOMBIES! SURVIVORS HERE!), then starts blabbing about how we should go to Colfax Power Station, a 3x2 building, BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE USEFUL, and... jesus christ.

I had enough AP to change hiding spots.

[Yegolev]

Leaving the doors open just let me (Al'Zheet M'Pantz) be eaten faster, I think.  Now I am the eatee and have managed to get one zombie skill!  Lurching Gait, of course.  Now I'm apparently in a forest?  New to me.  I think I need to get back into town.

[Count Nerfedalot]

I've still got one alive and one of my many corpses is walking.  The zombie has been killed twice by other zombies so far.  Bastards.  I chased after the last one that got me and knocked him down to 30 (of 60 dammit).  Maybe someone else can finish him before he kills me again.  if not, at least I have a purpose in undeath - chasing that SOB down!

I like the challenge of the few vs the hordes, but the fact that it's relentless and totally impossible to win unless the hordes just get tired of standing back up makes it depressing.  Having a one-way ticket to zombiedom really only makes sense if there was some way to permakill a zombie as well.  Maybe knock him back onto the other server after a headshot or something.  Or did I miss something and there IS a way to elimitate them once the quarantine is back in effect?

[LK]

Quarantine was supposed to be put back up in the middle of July. If you had the Headshot ability at Lv. 10, you could permakill a zombie.

I'd say less than 10% of the 500 that are left have the Headshot skill.

[craan]

All my alts except rakefreeze have been found and slaughtered by really high level zombies with full skill trees.  So they can infect me, smell me out at their leisure, and run me down without a problem.

[CmdrSlack]

Ok, so I just made a character as it seems that it's still possible to join.

I'm CmdrSlack, of course.

My guess is that I'll be dead by morning, having wasted two clips on a flak jacketed zombie.

[Rendakor]

Just lost my last survivor. He was level 4 too...had been in a safe spot for a while, should've known better. Logged in yesterday to see I'd been found out and eaten down to 20 hp. Hauled ass away, scavenged some FAKs and used the ones I had. That got me back to 40ish...logged in today, my newest "safe"house wasn't, and down goes Jack McLovin.

[LK]

I'm doing Science and I'm... 

[Tebonas]

RIP (as if) Tebonas

Dragged out into the street and eaten by zombies. While reading his stack of books at the edge of the quarantine zone.

And our new corporate webwasher at work rates this thread as not fit for me to read. Bah

[LK]

Regardless what happens I'm pretty certain I'm going to be dead by August 22nd. That's when I leave on vacation.

[CharlieMopps]

How do you guys get XP? I've been playing on the normal server for weeks and only have 50xp so far. I haven't been able to get a single skill.

Every day I venture out, whack at some lone zombie I find... hit it maybe twice... then run back to the police station I'm held up in. Seems rather pointless.

[LK]

Best way to get experience as a Lv. 1 without combat skills is to get First Aid Kits and heal people. After you get Lv. 2 you can pick a skill like Diagnosis that will allow you to identify who needs healing and save AP. After that you should be able to steamroll into a combat character.

If you're melee-centric you can axe-whack without worrying about losing ammo (Pistol spec).  It's slow at first but eventually you can get up to Lv. 3 or 4 and have a good thing going. But the normal server is rather dull from my experience.

Did you catch the name of the zombie? I'm "Space Cowbell"; I may have killed you.

[Samwise]

I add everyone who ever kills me to my contacts list and color-code them so I'll know to give them special attention if I ever see them again.

I do the same for everyone who was brought over to the zombie team by me, so I can wave at them.     Although the two survivors who I've killed so far haven't even stood up again.  Losers.

[Rendakor]

Sorry Space, didnt check the name. Losing that guy kinda hurt since I'd managed to get him to a decent level. Back to the drawing board...

[Sky]

With Monroeville in ruins and the zombie hordes unstoppable, the military will be initiating a permanent quarantine on Friday the 15th, closing the borders and leaving the city for the dead. Monroeville characters can transfer their donation flags to characters in Malton via their settings page.

[LK]

THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.

And when you're dying I'll be...

(Found a shotgun finally.)

Edit: Hmmm. This may not be Quarantine. This may be server shutdown.

[Samwise]

I will be sad if Monroeville is gone for good.

[stu]

Once nothing more than a mild mannered fireman, Harry Tippers has dropped his gourd. Today, he spent all but four of his action points just to gain the satisfaction of cutting down a zombie. Good luck, Harry.

[Count Nerfedalot]

RIP Granny Able - another one bites the dust


What the heck is a donation flag anyway?

If you make a donation, no IP/bandwidth restrictions.

[Snee]

my safehouse is about to get cracked and I have lots of ammo but not enough AP to use it and run, so I'm just going to run... I'm *almost* lvl2 and I want to use the skill buy screen at least once... any survivor pockets out there want to give me a hand?

I have a zombie hand in my backpack already, what I mean is I need a new group, the group I am in is so large it MUST be infiltrated... dirty cheap undead tricks!

PM me?

Come to West Monroeville.  We have a small group of survivors you can join.

PS: If you can, slather yourself in barbeque sauce.  It masks your scent and makes you more difficult to track.

Thanks, will try to head that way...  Well, it wasn't supposed to be barbeque sauce, but I have a couple of flares, I'm carrying fuel and I'm clumsy. So I may just be better prepared than intended.

There are 21 people here, barricades are still up, I'll check in every couple of hours and hope someone else gets eaten first, or I get enough AP to make it far enough away to be worthwhile.
