I have 324 different zombie preparedness plans (323 of which involve using Silver Fox as a distraction in some mannerism). Anyway, I've had an idea for a zombie-in-general and/or Left 4 Dead Roleplay for a while, but this is the first open-RP site I've visited that it could potentially work on. RP'ers can play both as survivors AND zombies, so it would be a fun back-and-forth with the occasional influence of the "AI director" (all praise him). Discuss?

I think I deserve a little bit more respect than that!" "Sure thing, kid." ~ exchange between Gunnery Sergeant Vanessa L. Hansen and Captain Mason N. Dowling in Sami's War

What is your proposed method for the zombie's coming about, or is this so far in the past no one cares? 3. I'm assuming we're talking about roughly-modern tech: shotguns, rifles, flamethrowers, etc. Am I right?

Everything we have now, we have in game. (Sorry, no lightsabers or plasma rifles) How the zombies would work is, (and this will develop more as the infection advances) when a player is zombie-fied, they retain a basic memory (how to walk, run, etc,) but they seem like they're in a semi-awake state from a person's perspective. They're not in complete control of their motions (the player is, obviously, just the character feels like they aren't) though they can have some outcome on what the zombie does. And unless it's a severe wound (Think: Shotgun to chest), the kill method will most likely be headshots. Zombie 101, people: Destroy the brain, destroy the zombie.

Today's Mood: Syke! Life is awesome! Posts: 319 Group: Roleplayer Member #26 Joined: Jan 9, 2008	I might be in, depending (mainly on if I ever get around to posting in Heroes first...). I have some questions too: 1.) Zombie-change vulnerability, do you change from even a small scratch, or do you have to be straight out bitten? Or somewhere in between? 2.) When would the roleplay take place in regards to the initial zombie event? Would it have been going on for a while, so zombies are at least expected, or would it be right at the start, during the first zombie panic? 3.) Zombie danger level, where on the chart from mindless shuffling to insanely fast wall climbing would they fall? I assume somewhere in the middle, ie they can run, but not climb very well (so high ground does provide a decent amount of protection)? Edited by Tvae, Sep 2 2009, 10:44 PM.

I assume somewhere in the middle, ie they can run, but not climb very well (so high ground does provide a decent amount of protection)? 1) The easiest and most direct way to become infected is, alas, the bite. However, there is one other way. Scratches normall wouldn't do anything, but blood-to-blood contact, I.E. Zombie gets splattered and some blood lands on an open wound, is grounds for infection. Wear a band-aid. 2) Still trying to decide, but it would most likely be within the first week or so, so that there are plenty of people (and therefore panic) but also zombies are somewhat-commonplace, though misinformation and rumors are abundant. 3) At the start of the campaign, they'd be able to move at a moderate pace (maybe a slow jog) but as the infection progresses, expect to see faster, stronger, or outright SCARY new types of zombies.
