It's definitely a bot.

[Supercharazad]

Doesn't look like a bot. Methinks it's a normal person.

A normal person with advertisements.
Because where did it get "game" from? It also has a thing in the pickup lines thread saying "lines" istead of game, so I'm guessing it's a person with a template and a space to add things to, to make them seem like a normal person.



Either way, we need a captcha on these forums.

Guys, don't sweat it. My response is "I hope I can change your mind eventually." Regardless of the specifics who posted that, I'm sure there are a few very real people who have the same opinion. After all, I can easily see someone who is a fan of LCS, and has no interest in a Zombie game. They would prefer the same effort go into improving or remaking LCS, and they just don't want to be rude. That's okay. If you're in that boat, I hope I can change your mind eventually.

I'm planning to talk a bit more about where the game is and how I currently envision it at some point next week, which is the point when I'm stepping it up to go into full time development.

Really?

Look at his sig. Now look as his posts.

So, understand where your pos tthere went wrong? Good.

I am not interested in this game sorry.

Wow. That's one intelligent spambot.

This seems like a rather rude way of phrasing your point, but yes, I do see what you're saying. I went ahead and referred the issue to Toady so that he can take appropriate action. If the only reason you objected was because he appeared to be a spammer, then go ahead and disregard the part about "don't sweat it". But I don't think that's entirely the case for everyone, and that's part of why I responded.

I bet that if he'd said the opposite, and expressed anticipation, significantly fewer people would have jumped to skepticism about his authenticity. There's a very common knee-jerk reaction to contrary opinions that happens in groups. My point is that regardless of who he is, there are very likely other very real people who see this thread and are pointedly uninterested, even disappointed that I would let this distract me from working on LCS or something else they might be interested in. These people may not feel any desire to express their doubt, but I don't have a problem with that opinion, and I wouldn't have a problem with it even if they did post here.

I think it's always healthy to question whether your course of action is the best thing you can do with your time. It's easy to just assume something is a good plan, or the best plan, and ignore alternatives. Even if this guy was just a spammer, it's human nature that not everyone will be excited about the idea, and I'm happy to hear doubt about whether it's the best idea. As I said, it doesn't change my choice -- I just hope that I can prove that this will be a great game.

No problem. I assumed I'd caused offense by implying you were overreacting.

[Neonivek]

Will infection be in this zompocolips? As in the ordinary kind...

Hmmm, you think antibiotics could be an important item?

Anyway, YES!

I love zombies! This should be the game for me.

Fakeedit: I think you there should be a few factors apart from the source that are randomly decided at the start of the game. I am sorry if these are stupid.

Fast Zombies Or Slow Zombies?: If you need to outrun some zombies, this is going to be crucial.
Is The Government Still Working?: If it is still going, that means that there could be evacuations, and supply drops!
Madagascar Infected?: Who is telling some infected guy had the same idea as you, and started a zombie outbreak on Madagascar when you escaped there? Hey, zombie film endings can sometimes be unfair.
Zombies Starve: Guess the reference and win! If this is unchecked, you'll never survive by outliving the undead.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

[Angel Of Death]

Madagascar will NEVER be infected, Fniff. The moment a man in Brazil coughs, everything will be shut down.


Are there going to be infections and stuff? I think you could have infections using a slightly modified version of the LCS wisdom system. Maybe there could be infection resistance, so you don't always become infected.

[Mephansteras]

Huh. This sounds promising.

[ZebioLizard2]

I'd like to see something with a bit micromanagement, rather like how Rebuild! was done, or maybe a bit of rogue survivor done as well.

[Fniff]

I get the meme.

That doesn't account for a state of chaos, people flying under the radar, smugglers, refugees, etc. It can and may be infected by the time you get there. That isn't even accounting for what happens if zombies can live underwater. It could be in the white by the time you get there.

[Raul]

Oh my, I'll definitely play this! Posting to watch.
