Zombie Outbreak

Archive: 27 posts


Okay so I had this idea for a forum game, so yeah get excited and please sign up/ post any proposed changes. It might not work but the forums have been kinda empty atm so although it might be completely broken yolo let's go for it. Happy Halloween!

Yes, evil zombies have taken over, leaving only a handful of survivors to battle them at every corner until more help arrives! How do we survive you ask? Through three phases of each day, the survivors will progress to fight off the horde until they are either rescued or eaten alive; hopefully the former of the two.

In the first phase, aka the sleeper phase, those sneaky zombies bunch together and discuss (through groans and husky grunts) which locations they will decide to lurk in, awaiting players to much on.

In the second phase, aka the decision phase, the plucky youngsters who had set out for supplies return home to divvy out their rewards, the players not fed will die! They also spend time setting up weapon placements and tending to the sick. However the most important decision in this phase is who will go out and to which location.

In the third phase, aka the movement phase, the players advance out to their locations either to be eaten or to get supplies, and the zombies will often mount an attack on the base too! At the end of the movement phase there is a brief bit of radio contact with the local news presenter, who having gone completely insane has decided to dedicate their life to monitoring the group of survivors, and report every death, outbreak of illness and any other advancements.


Alas, if only there was a Costcos! Sadly, the survivors have chosen a base which is pretty far into the countryside, in the middle of four locations which supply their four basic needs, medicine, food, weapons and water.

Pharma-go
Flagged by locals as a “complete rip off” pharma-go has a relatively untouched goldmine of medicines, amongst the hungry faces of the zombies of course.
http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4767500792301690&pid=1.9&w=300&h=300&p=0
Min players for output: One
Output per player: One kind of medicine (specific) for one person
Max players: Three
Max zombies: Four
Special rules: Pharmacy meds are all locked until illness apart from treatments for general bites and cuts

Chuck’s gun store
Chuck, the local gunslinger, is found here resting with a jammed rifle under a pile of half-shot zombies. The store is pretty well stocked, however most of the big guns have been taken

Min players for output: One
Output per player: One weapon (non-specific)
Max players: Three
Max zombies: Three
Special rules: None


The Water Tower
Nothing special here, just some water (with a couple of dead pigeons laying in the tank of course)
http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4660010636608401&pid=1.9&w=300&h=300&p=0
Min players for output: Two
Output per player: Half the population’s water (rounded down)
Max players: Six
Max zombies: Four
Special rules: None

Cressman’s
The local greengrocer, not very ransacked comparative to most other food stores around the place, but most of it is either mouldy or gone-off; darned organic food!
http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4692089773296261&pid=1.9&w=300&h=300&p=0
Min players for output: Two
Output per player: Each player buys half the population’s food (rounded up)
Max players: Six
Max zombies: Eight
Special rules: None



The Base: Outfitted with the latest in basic-shelter technology, the shelter has all the great services for survivors, two cold showers, a toilet and barricaded windows. The zombies can attack the base during the night instead of visiting locations, they are each run out by the weapons and traps that protect the base, but if the number of zombies gets higher than the number of traps everyone inside is zombified! The max number of weapons is the same as the current total number of zombies in the game plus two. The base starts off with 2 round’s food, six weapons and two rounds water. Get surviving!

Choose your roles...
Roles:
Survivors (6-11) - Craigmond, Rocksauron, amoney1999, Dawnbreaker_23, Snipysev, butter-kicker
Zombies (3-7) – Shooter0898, FreeAim, and an extra zombie which the other two can place <3
Dead (0) –
News reporter (1)- flamingemu
Other (0)-

Winning: The zombies win by turning all the players into zombies, or by there being no survivors left alive. The survivors win by surviving 13 rounds (spooky spooky) until the helicopters arrive.

/Game will start once all roles are filled. Phase one lasts until the zombies have chosen their locations, phase two lasts for 24-48 hours and phase three should be pretty instantaneous.

So how do the survivors win? You just said they had to survive but for how long?

Also nice idea.

Shouldn't everyone be assigned random roles? You should do that. Assign them randomly. Or else.

Anyway, sure, whatever, sign me up for whatever.

Wait, what happened if two survivors face two zombies at a location? How about one on one or three on two (for the favour of the survivors)?

I am in as a zombie, by the way. Or if you randomize them, I will be in as whatever. This looks like fun.

If zombies > Survivors, all of the survivors are turned o>o
If zombies = survivors, or survivors > zombies; we assume they had a battle but managed to escape with their lives c: thanks for playing!

I also think it'd be better if the roles were randomized, so you can decide what the best ratio of survivors to zombies is. But in case it isn't random, I choose survivor.2013-11-04 04:21:00

Well people are getting to choose atm because I need the minimums as shown in the op, but ideally I want at least double the survivors to zombies, only need two more players to start <3

I think you should have a set number of possible people who can be alive and who can be zombies. For instance, no more than one fourth of the players can be zombies as an example. People call dibs on what they want to be if there's a spot open, and if not they'd have to be the other group. People who say they don't care what they'd be would fill in the blanks that are left.2013-11-04 22:19:00

Okay, if butter is a survivor, then we can try it with just two zombies. I'll try and get an official timer for the start going tomorrow; only just got off work (it's midnight >.>) so I should have a post up tomorrow.
Thanks butter for your help <3
Good luck everyone!

(I might be using a text -> speech converter for the narration so if anyone could find a way to convert mp3 to blank video that would be nice ^^)
See ya'll tomorrow for the beginning of the start x
