I'd never heard of this game before, but I'm very glad that I happened across this thread.
I've actually yet to play a 'traditional' survivor - everyone I play tends to be either a forgotten shower survivor or, in more recent games, a mall cop or a student.
I'll try not to bore those of you who have probably played this to death, but so far my fondest memories are (in no particular order):
Escaping from the mall with my security guard, finding a truck that worked, and driving it through the mall parking lot (with the hope that I could escape to the suburbs and set up shop) ... until I found that there are a _lot_ of zombies spawned around malls, and after the second dozen-or-so was plowed under my vehicle , I lost a wheel. The truck came to a halt due to lack of wheels, and I ran through a nearby forest, pursued by a pack of zombies, until I came to a bit of road. It just so happened that a ruined APC was on that tile, so I was planning to make that my home base, but I had no source of water. I walked towards the nearest house (to find, at least, a toilet with some water I could boil), but ran into a soldier zombie. As I didn't know how to run yet (whoops) I tried to fight him, but my weapon didn't inflict more than a handful of damage on a hit. I ended up running out of stamina, RIP.
A towel survivor who found a working fire truck, decking herself out in full firefighter garb, then planned to drive the truck out of the middle of the town that she found herself in - huge stocks of water and storage space! - except that driving out of town required multiple re-routes due to broken cars or ruined buildings... just as I was about to leave the town, I hit one last zombie... which apparently was a zombie-too-far, breaking the square of structure of the truck where I was driving, throwing me in front of the vehicle just before it ran over me at 60 mph.
My most recent game is as a missed submissive. Things have been going pretty well so far, but the most hilarious thing that happened so far is that, after securing a working vehicle, I was looting all the nearby buildings, including a liqueur store. I found an entire wooden barrel of whiskey, and while trying to figure out how to transport the thing, I accidentally filled an entire gas tank full of single malt whiskey. Sadly, I don't think that the engine will run off of it.
