You mean...like tents?

[pisskop]

or makeshift shelters?

or living out of a car?

or caves?


foxholes might be nice though

Mmmmm, tents. http://cdda-trunk.estilofusion.com/large_tent_kit

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.

I....I think I stumbled into a zombie girl scout meeting.

Found a house with several beds in one room, and chock full of zombie children, many of whom were wearing skirts and which dropped either boxes of cookies or chocolate bars.

Morale penalty was so bad after bludgeoning them all to (second) death with a crowbar, but then I got back to base and ate their cookies and chocolate and washed it down with some vodka. So I felt better.

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.

That. Is. Epic.

"I feel bad about hitting that kid... but I took his candy, so it was worth it."

[RedKing]

"Oh god, I'm a monster....Mmm, Thin Mints...."

And then I slept it off and I was fine.

They're wafer thin~

[RedKing]

They're wafer thin~

So were the zombie girls after I got done with them >_>

Remember, friends, 's' also stands for success!

Girl Scouts. Ruthless fiends who offer nothing but a horrible death that starts with just one bite.

And then they became zombies.

[martinuzz]

Girl scouts are amazing. They'll clean your garden for 0.10$ an hour. Beats Mexicans.

Anyways, I've been playing on and off. Seems whenever I get established I don't play as much. Plus, the cataclysm server from Nazca being back, meeeh. Any suggestions to make that motel interesting? Because I have no idea where to go from here. There's a motorcycle out front, but it's pretty much a no-go at the moment. Don't have enough mechanics skill or books to fix it. No libraries AFAIK.

[Kaitol]

Keep getting errors in the middle of play, randomly.

Thats a bug with the new code to let zombies follow you up and down stairs.

they try to path up stairs but "suddenly" they find themselves on a new zlevel and the game freaks out.

theyre trying to fix it now





which is funny, because just yesterday a guy got headshotted by a helicoptor drone that spawned in a field, flew up above his head, and popped it like a balloon.
