[Tack]

Due to disastrous assignment work- I'm hiatus-ing this until after the weekend. Sorry to leave you all in such precarious situations, but...

[Hastur]

Bumpo/sorry i kept the game up.
i dont like to keep games stalled unless they're except mine (though cutting it close is no prob)

[Stalker0489]

I assume since Tack's posted two people's turns above that he'll just edit that post to put everyone's turns in, so this will still be below that. Therefore:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Reload. Keep 6/30 clip. Hide and determine what the approaching figures are. If they are remnants, take what supplies they can offer, point them in the direction of the military base and leave them. If they are other PCs or appear hostile, sneak away and head east to the shopping mall.

If the mall does not appear safe, continue east and search residences for guns / ammo and eat / drink from house supplies (not personal supplies). Appempt to find a room with only one door and minimal windows, and something to bar the door with.

If the mall appears safe to navigate, enter, eat / drink from stalls there and attempt to locate a security room with a decent lock and/or bar on the door. If there is no security room, head further east and attempt to find a room as above.

COMBAT
If forced into combat at any point, lay about with the M16. If zombies enter 25m, switch to pistol.

I'd just like to point out that there is a definite reason for this extended postponement of work.
Mostly assignments, and other stressful things.

And that it may well end sometime in the next few days.
Thank you for your patience.
For those with impatience, What did you expect from one of MY games?

[Firelordsky]

dont worry man.

[Strife26]

Clark's a patient guy, suppose that I can follow his lead.

[Tack]

A few things.

1. Flexibility will be replaced with Agility next turn. No changes to gameplay- it just sounds better.
2. This turn - Minor landmarks have been added. Major landmarks were added at the beginning of the game - They're the ones that take up an entire district. I couldn't be bothered making a legend, so if you don't get what something is (which is likely) post here or pm me. Either or.
3. Next turn I should have the first level recipes up.
4. Turns are almost all up, by the way. On the previous page. So go ahead.

[Stalker0489]

How's those assignments going? I see you've posted everyone's turn so i assume well.

[Tack]

I might have to PM everyone... Tell them the game is still happening.

Charge straight towards the burner as going straight to the fire reduces burns (or that's what Physics says)

Clark will head into the clinic and see what there is to see in there. Focus on clearing the building, with the same rules of engagement as before, after that give the place a moderate securing (shoving a shelf against every door, quick memorization of the floor-plan, roof access if at all possible.

Quick run through looking for medical supplies, especially the following:
Combat Gauze, Kerlix, or other clotting agents
Pressure Dressings
Tourniquets
Pain killers
A few NPA's if he can find them
Some kind of face mask for himself

[Tack]

I'm going to be brainstorming on how to rework combat so it's more fluid. I'm pretty annoyed at a few points of the current ranged system.

If anyone has some ideas, tell me.

Run to the clinic, try to avoid combat before I get there, if enemy will somehow get in 10m then start firing with shotgun., 2 meters - switch to the bat and strike their heads

If i get in a clinic in time try to find a narrow corridor and give a fight in it, with same minimal range

[Strife26]

How are you running the rolls right now, Tack?

I'd imagine that combat against zeds with firearms would need three different types

Melee - The zombie is touching you shit shit shit shit
CQB - The zombie is such a position that it's close enough to break concentration (it'd probably change from person to person, someone like me would probably keep concentration to 25m or so.)
Shooting range - normal engagement range, most people aren't going to miss many shots at the range that their weapon is designed for. Effective ranges are made in mind for people seeking cover or dashing, not those shambling.

I'd make concentration and detection play a major part. As more rounds are fired and as zombies move closer, concentration decreases, meaning that accuracy decreases (or a moment to catch one's breath must be taken). Notice would be how much zed attention is drawn. It shouldn't be an on-or-off switch, it takes more than one shot for the human ear to be able to place where a shooter is, complicated by the fact that we're talking zombies, and firing in an urban environment is even more ticklish sound-wise (lots of buildings to bounce sound-waves about).

[Stalker0489]

That seems very complicated but at the same time, very real. Up to Tack though i guess. Might have to add in something there about the mobility of the weapon. For example, its a touch easier to turn and face an enemy if you're holding an M9 than say... an M60.
