OOC- Zombie Apocalypse Chapter 2- General Discussion

Status
Not open for further replies.
I completely agree. I wouldn't touch Valium or anything similar.

I updated tonight and made the combat rolls for Hockey. He did great, managing to take out both of the zombies he was shooting and hitting with eight out of ten bullets. I can roll for him again this round - just let me know how many bullets you want to shoot at the only zombie in his line of sight. That one is tough. It got its arm blown off by a Claymore, Thayer shot it in the head, and Lereux and Duran each wounded it this round, but it's still going. It just has 6 HP left and Hockey's the only one who can stop it before it reaches the motel.
 
Ok in the detention area if the could get some explosives down there and blow out some building support struts near the hole that could take that down and at least block it a little slowing the zombies down a little.

As for non carnivorous creatures not becoming zombies is it possible that because that they are less used to defending them self from a attacker they would be killed and fed upon? a dog can bite back much harder than a cow or sheep and do much more damage than a herbivore and is more likely to escape and survive long enough to become fully infected?

Ok and on a personal note. I would like to thank Mr. Handy for taking care of my characters in my absence and for talking to me and helping get some shit off my chest.

I hope to rejoin as soon as I can I am still working a load of shit out and I am feeling a Just a little better but not enough to fully rejoin as of yet but I would still like to comment in OOC an GD I am hoping to come back sometime in this month .
 
You're welcome, Muff. I'm glad you're starting to do better.

The problem with collapsing the support struts near the hole is that, while you could keep zombies out, it could also keep people trapped below. What you'd need to do is set up some kind of hatch that could be opened and closed at will. The bomb that went off in Chapter 1 has weakened the walls and roof around the hole, though they've been shored up. It wouldn't take another explosion to bring them down if you really wanted to - once the supports are removed, a sledgehammer would be sufficient.

As for why carnivores have become zombies but herbivores haven't, that's something the characters will need to think about. Natural History, Biology, and Zoology would be good skills to roll against. Think about which types of animals you've seen as zombies and how they might have gotten that way. So far you've only seen zombies attack humans, not animals.

I'll be able to update this weekend, but I'm still waiting for Fearlessfred to post and for Stompie to post for the rest of his characters (particularly Hockey, who is the only one that can shoot at a zombie before it reaches the motel). I can update tonight if both post soon enough. Otherwise, I don't want to wait beyond tomorrow night. I can make the rolls for Hockey as long as I know how many bullets he's going to fire.
 
hey handy. Small problem. my entire left hand is real screwed up. as it is; I'm typing single handed. The pain sould pass soon enough. Sorry I can't make the rolls. I want Hockey to fire 10 rounds, and would like Duke to try and take out the rat (on the corpse)
 
Don't worry about it, I like making combat rolls. If you hadn't let me know I would have had Hockey fire five bullets since that's what he tends to do, so it's good you told me you want him to fire ten and that you want Duke to shoot at the rat. I hope you get better soon.

I'm going to start writing the update now.
 
Didn't we say that two of the rigs were sleepers and one wasn't.
I think Baldwin's was a sleeper, but I am not sure of either Dave or Wallace. It would seem to me that both Dave and Wallace drive a lot of local routes.
 
Both Baldwin and Wallace have sleepers. Only David's rig isn't a sleeper, since his current route was local.
 
I'd like to update twice a week. Helbent4 had to drop out, and Muff hasn't returned yet, so I've really only been waiting to give Stompie a full week to post. He posted in this thread and in Systematic Annihilation, but hasn't posted in the IC thread or given instructions for his characters for about two weeks now. I intend to go ahead and update on Saturday regardless, and I'd like to update again in the middle of next week as well.
 
alright. I intend to post for ZA tonight. I appolagize for the nearly two week hiadous. between the hand, and my plans to move, I havent had much time. I was going to post last night, but I saw the last post date from Systematic Anhiliation. Soo - I decided to post a paragraph. as for my hand, I decided to cut the tip of the cast off, giving me more use of the hand. (Damnit, I miss my bass)
So, ISP provided, I sould post without incident.
 
Don't worry about it, Stompie. I know you've been busy. I haven't had much time myself and probably wouldn't have had time to update during this past week anyway. Thank you for posting; I'll write the update now, and I also hope to post in Systematic Annihilation myself this weekend.
 
Hello everyone

I'm wondering if you've got room in here for some fresh meat? I'd be quite keen to join if you've got space...
 
Welcome, lordof1! Yes, of course we've got room for new players. If you haven't been reading the story so far, you should catch up on it. The story threads can be found here:

Chapter 1: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19285

Chapter 1 synopsis: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34454

Chapter 2 (in progress): http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34128

You'll need to pick three characters that are still alive and are not already being played by someone else. If you want to play any of the original cast (with a few exceptions), you should read all of Chapter 1. Otherwise, you can get by with reading just the synopsis of Chapter 1 and then Chapter 2 so far, though this will leave you with a very limited selection. We will also be adding new playable characters eventually. Helbent4 had to leave the game, so the characters he has been playing (Lt. Blanco, Erica Spears, and Max the dog) might be available as well. The following thread lists all of the character sheets, the players playing them, whether they are dead, and their current state of physical and mental health: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34327

Note that the above thread contains spoilers, as it reveals who has died, been injured, or gone insane. I'll list the available characters below in case you don't want to spoil yourself. Some available characters are excluded from this list because they are only played by the Keepers or because they are doomed. I highly recommend choosing at least one old and one new character.

New characters in Chapter 2:
Airman Alexandria Mikhalin - Communications Specialist
Lt. Angela Blanco - US Army Medical Research and Development Command, US Army Research Institute for Infectious Disease
Zorie Spooner - Researcher
Airman Bobby Sheen - #2 on the Sniper team
Airman Igor Malanowski (currently in grave danger and temporarily insane)
Airman Carlos Duran - Fire Team 1

Characters from Chapter 1 that you can play if you read only the synopsis:
Max the Mastiff
Erica Spears - State Trooper Helicopter Pilot/Medevac Pilot
Kerry Pierce - rescued captive

Other available characters from Chapter 1:
Rosie the Waitress
Mitchell the Young Artist/current mechanic
Lynne - Dumb but hot Waitress with criminal ambition
Mrs. Foo - wife of Mr. Foo and co-owner of Motel 8 age 71
Mr. Foo - Motel 8 owner with unusual past. Age 72
Ellen Cody - House keeper - at Motel 8
Sally the Traveling Nurse
Jim - the runaway
Bo - Bored State Trooper
Baldwin - the conspiracy theorist/Truck driver
Randall the Law student /Ex med student
David the horny Truck Driver
Willie the Aging Camera man
Samantha the Zoologist
Jenny Cooper - Lab assistant
Gary the Maintenance man
Kimberly the Pharmacist looking for a job
Michael Walters British Psychologist on vacation
Stephanie Bridges - Environmental Protection Agency - co-worker with Dr. Hausmann

You can also find additional rules and rules discussions here: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19252

This thread lists all living characters' current locations, guns, ammo, armor, and checked skills: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34173

One thread you should not read is Dr. Hausmann's tale, unless you decide to play at least one of the available characters who was present (Lt. Angela Blanco, Bo, and Stephanie Bridges).

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. When you've caught up on the story and you've made your selections, just let me know and I'll send you a PM containing their secret information. Once you receive them, your decision is final and you can start posting in the IC thread.
 
Well you know the game is going downhill when those guys from Play@yog-sothoth start coming around! :)

Welcome to the game lordof1. But note that this does not get you off the hook from Cults of Cairo.
 
Sounds like I've got some reading to do! I'll get back to you when I've done it, Mr. Handy - slightly busy at work but I should manage it by the end of the week...

Don't worry welsh I'm still there in Lure! (This doesn't give you any excuse to kill me, either!)
