The Mansion [Concluded]

[Zain]

grr...no weapons in the store room




:whip: bad Zain :whip:

:laugh4:

[Double A]

The cabinets either have good stuff, mysterious stuff, or "OMG ITS EATING MY FACE!!!" stuff. I suggest we dig in before we open them.

[Chaotix]

I bet they're all going to be empty, just so Zain can :daisy: around with us a little longer before we all die of starvation or the Hostiles.

There's a portal to the mirror universe there.

We have to murder our mirror selves and then escape through the unlocked door in the mirror foyer.

[Death is yonder]

Okay guys, you all need sleep, and we are high enough in numbers to guard you all (those who slept this phase).

You guys should probably open the cabinets, grab the loot and run back to foyer to sleep, if that's possible.

We also have 33 units of food to be split along 14 people, with CDf, ATPG, Centurion and Chaotix getting priority.

[Greyblades]

I think we should get someone to bind our wounds before we bleed out or anything.

[Ferret]

We only lost some hit points, as I understand it that will be the extent of the injury and we wont lose any more unless another injury occurs.

Oh ATPG, looks like we both need sleep tonight :wink:

Would you like me to come nurse your uh.... wounds?

[Centurion1]

so zain how did my battle plan work

[Zain]

so zain how did my battle plan work

It kept you alive and without injury :laugh4:

[Beskar]

Zain, where am I? I don't know my location. :cry:

[Zain]

Zain, where am I? I don't know my location. :cry:

Foyer, you sent me a PM saying you would stay with the sleepers.

[Beskar]

Also by the looks of it, there is only 1 hostile left.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Also by the looks of it, there is only 1 hostile left.

you had to say that didn't you???? 10 hostiles just popped somewhere in the mansion just because of that line. :stare: Someone needs to get Genre Savvy.


Food division: 33 units to give out
CDF: 2 units
Elite Ferret: 3 units
AVSM: 2 units
Greyblades: 3 units
Double A: 3 units
Centurion1: 3 units
Chaotix: 3 units
ATPG: 3 units
Scottishranger 2 unit (are you active Scottish? Have not heard much from you and I can not be sure you sent in orders)
Twilightblade: 3 units
DIY: 2 units
Beefy: 2 units
Beskar: 2 units

that is 33. :bow:

I believe we will be taking it easy this round and tending to our wounded. :yes: The men who slept last rounbd will spend this one guarding the rest of us, taking their pick of the gear. Scottish will look all the wounded men over and do his best with the first aid kit. Our victorious warriors will sleep. Next phase we are going to do some major searching. I will check out the cabinets, and open them up.

[Double A]

I think we should maybe explore the studio and lounge B.

[White_eyes:C]

I must apologize to Zain....I am sorry I didn't stay more active:shame:....but I may come back if I can get my password:bow:

[Double A]

Gah what are our orders for this phase? No one has contacted me as of now!

[Chaotix]

If you need to sleep, then sleep.

Otherwise, guard the foyer and use the keys to open those cabinets.

[Death is yonder]

anyone not mentioned here is also a sleeper.

and yes, I will be opening the cabinets. Food has already been divided. That should be it. Going to send in orders and I suggest you all do the same.

[Greyblades]

I'd like to take atheotes old machete aswell if its not too inconveniant.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I'd like to take atheotes old mechete aswell if its not too inconveniant.

Zain did not say if we even found it, and even if we did I am obligated to give it to someone who is running around with butter knives. You can have the bowie knife or the machete, not both.

[Death is yonder]

Zain did not say if we even found it, and even if we did I am obligated to give it to someone who is running around with butter knives. You can have the bowie knife or the machete, not both.

I think Atheotes was dragged off by them, and the gear on him was lost :bow:

I'll send in my orders now.

I think minimally now, we should all send in orders to both CDf and Zain (if CDf wants it).

I'm thinking if something goes wrong we can analyze the problem with the orders (if the write up is not clear about it, EG: didn't watch the rear), and include them next time :yes:

Of course, if CDf has pm issues, we don't want to make them more pressing do we? :sweatdrop:

[Greyblades]

I think Atheotes was dragged off by them, and the gear on him was lost :bow:

What did they snap it in half or something?

[Death is yonder]

Jose, being in the back, was grabbed by the biggest Hostile by the leg and thrown across the room, yelling for his life before severing his spinal cord on the hard basement wall. He too was devoured.

Martin attempted to help him but the others held him back, “We can’t leave him!” He yelled. “He’s a goner! Save yourself!” Screamed Lester as the four remaining men fled back to the top of the stairs.

Jose = Atheotes.

Speaking of which, Split died. Zain, did he lose his gardening shovels and other equipment? It was not like his attacker was not repulsed or something. Although the ambiguity of it without a write up makes it lacking in clarity, just would like to know, no sense having poorly armed people if there is useful loot to be given out.

:bow:

[Greyblades]

I doubt that the hostile would have swallowed a machete and even if it was I'd just cut the thing out of the corpse.

[Zain]

Atheotes and Splitpersonality's weapons were recovered. Use them as you will. :bow:

Although they probably will be hindered useless in the next phase... :eyebrows:

[Zain]

The round ends in 15 minutes. Please send in your orders if you have not already done so. :bow:

[Greyblades]

Dear god, your not going to give the hostiles projectile weapons are you? I think it might be a good idea not to split up next turn and just storm afew rooms as a group.

[Death is yonder]

Something tells me, that with conversion of the human hosts, the hostiles will gain intelligence, and perhaps may be able to fulfill that :juggle2::juggle2:

Either that.. or they get some sort of mutations :no:

Yet, seriously though, supernatural speed, super human strength, and superhuman endurance, isn't it tough already? :mecry:

:clown:

[White_eyes:C]

I guess I have little choice but to let the host use my body still....:shame:

I wish I would have killed ATPG to be honest....*hint hint, nudge nudge*:eyebrows:

Heh, I was the only one who would have been sympathetic toward you, merely for the sake of having fun and being a rebel. Now that you went all lame on us, I like totally can't help you and stuff.

You would have been my greatest lover, White_Eyes! But now, you can go diddle a ghoul! :laugh4:

[White_eyes:C]

I don't date "loose women"...I eat them:evil:

Edit:And you should have joined me....you would have become more powerful then you could have imagined....:no:

In fact....anyone who wants to...could just join me...:evilgrin:

You get immortality, Super speed, super strength and no longer need to sleep or eat....why not?:clown:

[Greyblades]

The fact that you look like an albino wookie?

[White_eyes:C]

Well....you could just die, I guess:laugh4:

[Ferret]

Four of us wont :P

Dude, you totally should have asked me to join you. After Pirate ship, I definitely would have done so.

I'm on an anti-town bent recently. I'd join you now but I'm pretty sure you're going to lose, and that would screw up my mafia record, so no thanks. Should have asked me sooner.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I am one of those four....so three to be more correct:2thumbsup:

uhh you are already dead :beam: :laugh4::laugh4::laugh4: In a technical sense.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Four of us wont :P

were you not listening when I said we were all getting out of here? :inquisitive: Positive thinking is key my friend.

[Greyblades]

That and it was the guy who wants us killed that said it, so its most likely he was lying when he said he'd let us out.

[White_eyes:C]

If you take my deal....I can guarantee "Power":deal:

If you refuse...you well join the ghouls...:evilgrin:

[Death is yonder]

Well... isn't joining you joining the ghouls? :clown:

Late Edit: Circumstances have changed, and I will be away at a camp that I cannot avoid going to from the 18th of November --> 20th of November.

From about (00.30 GMT)[18th] --> (05.00 GMT) [20th]

Apologies to the host and others depending on me, I will try and send in a very long circumstantial order to account for the many different possibilities in the next order phase, or two discussion phases later.

Is it possible to authorize CDf to dictate where I move? I will try and cover the tactics, he just needs to do the "Up to date" stuff like dictating my sleeping or who I'm working with.

Terribly sorry for the inconvenience folks, :bow:

[Greyblades]

Just to make sure, you guys who are guarding us, if white eyes shows up make sure to wake us all up so we can mob him.

[Death is yonder]

Yeah... I sent in orders to rouse the sleepers in the event of 2 or more hostiles, or any number of hostiles or something coming in from 2 fronts, in this case, there are only 2 doors leading to the foyer.

Hostiles meaning enemies that is, not merely referring to the ghouls that populate the mansion.

Edit: Either way, if my order goes through, I should be able to slow down overwhelming odds, even when they have superior speed, even temporarily long enough to rouse the rest of you. I hope you guys aren't deep sleepers :clown:

I still need write up proof to see that the environmental manipulation that I stuff into my orders is actually going through though :yes:

This one should tell.

[Greyblades]

Well I am more worried that white eyes will "smell my pain" and rip my head off while I'm recovering.

[Death is yonder]

Hey, I even sent in orders to watch the roof for any idiots bursting in through it :clown:

As long as my orders are interpreted the way they were meant to be when they were written, and supernatural speed doesn't suddenly become supernatural pain tolerance/disorientation resistance, this shouldn't be a bloodbath on our part :yes:

Just a side note to any people dragged off who have mysteriously survived SOMEHOW and pop up again... I don't care, I'll be chopping you to tiny little bits because I can never be 100% sure, and besides, I don't even want you looking at the sleeping survivors. Its kill on sight, stab first ask questions later.

[Greyblades]

What if I am dragged off and I reappear carrying a hostile's severed head?

[Centurion1]

well obviously the cabinets are going to hold guns. geez you guys are sort of dense sometimes. Thats why zain said the melee weapons are worthless now.


or maybe im just an optimist

[atheotes]

after being dragged off and killed, i did not receive any PMs from the host. so unless the host gets control of us, i dont think any of use dead people are coming back as ghouls.

[Double A]

were you not listening when I said we were all getting out of here? :inquisitive: Positive thinking is key my friend.

Of course! All we need to do is be positive around the front door to unlock it!

[White_eyes:D]

I got my profile back:smash:.....can you give me a update Zain?? PLEASE???:clown:

[Greyblades]

I could do with an update too.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Of course! All we need to do is be positive around the front door to unlock it!

........ Jerk.........

Uh... that works? :clown:

[Beskar]

Any updates from Zain?

[Centurion1]

i dont think he has been on lately.

[Zain]

(First of all I’d like to apologize for being inactive for the weekend. I was out of town this weekend and I didn’t have the files with me to do a write-up. With that explained, here it goes…)

Write-up 6

Thirteen survivors encircled the cabinets in a semicircle. Curiosity, fear, anxiety, and mostly excitement filled them, but caution was of great importance, for they knew that absolutely anything could be inside of them, could be good, could be bad, or could be absolutely nothing. “I don’t feel good about this, guys!” David B. Fischer (scottishranger), certified nurse and deemed “medicine man” exclaimed, fear in his heart.

Lester G. Gilliam (Chaotix), utility meter reader, was next in line to get his wounds tended to. He had already made makeshift bandages out of his sleeves, and now, he waited. Hoping it would not get infected, David would hopefully do his job well.

The girls, Casey N. Carr (Double A), training and development manager, Donna E. Mosher (Askthepizzaguy), administrative clerk, and Nicole W. Reed (Beskar), service station attendant, gathered around each other in a huddle behind the men of the group. Donna suffered from a wound, but had already been treated rather successfully by David. Nicole and Casey at the ready with their weapons just in case the cabinets end up being on the bad end of the spectrum for the survivors.

The most athletic man of the group, John E. Navarro (Centurion1), sports competitor, standing at 6’6”(1.98 meters) stood in front of the girls. He remained their most effective fighter.

The chosen door guards this round, Eric N. Dement (Twilightblade), job analysis manager, Gregory C. Ronning (Death is yonder), programmer, and Clarence M. Love (Beefy187), fork lift operator, stood together devising a plan to keep the other 10 sleeping safely for the next few hours. They hoped to do their jobs well, and possibly be rewarded with a bit of extra food.

Brian S. Gonzalez (Elite Ferret), chemical engineer, stood in silence waiting for the cabinets to be opened. In his mind he was picking apart the molecules of the pesticides the search parties had brought back in hopes of possibly coming up with some sort of potent poison. It was hard to contemplate on with the excitement in the air, and without the proper tools he doubted he would succeed. But he would try.

Jeffrey K. Harvey (A Very Super Market), welding machine setter, and Steven J. Wozniak (Greyblades), personnel assistant, had developed a slight friendship in their time, and stood by waiting for the cabinets to be opened while carrying on a conversation about their home lives. How they missed their families, and how if they made it out of the Mansion how they would turn their lives around and enjoy every minute of every day. It was a happy and sad conversation, very much a misdemeanor of the human morale.

And finally, the 13th survivor thus far and the man who had inexplicably been set as the leader of the people, Martin E. Clark (Cultured Drizzt fan), labor training manager, walked through the semi-circle passed the girls and John, placing his hand on the tall man’s shoulder in reassurance. Even in great heights no man can show no fear when there seems to be no hope. Martin stepped up in front of the group, placed one of the two keys into the lock of the far right cabinet, and set it in. He turned it and it locked in place. The far left cabinet held the other key, while the final third key rested in his hands. He walked over and stood in front of it, and then turned to the group.

“People, we have survived in this place for a little over a day. But it seems like an eternity… We’ve learned very little, and have lost much, seven people: Laura (CountArach) to the Hostile outside by the shed, Jose (atheotes) during our second storeroom expedition, Daniel (Johnhughthom) during the kitchen expedition with Steve, Greg, and Clarence, Lorraine (Captain Blackadder) and Dean (Tratorix) to Hector (White_eyes:D) out of nowhere, and most recently Ronald (spL1tp3r50naL1ty) during our last Storeroom expedition.”

A tear welled up in his eye as he grew emotional. The six deaths and one mutiny he felt on his heart, as their lives were seemingly his responsibility. His voice was shaky, but he continued “But now we have some hope! This key, which we acquired from our enemies bodies have to have a purpose. Inside of this cabinet could hold our salvation! Or it could hold our deaths… Are we willing to take this chance?”

He scanned the now familiar faces. Twelve faces full of many different emotions. “What say you?”

The survivors, at different times, with different moods and sets of feeling, and with different levels of enthusiasm surrounded by the slightest hope for good to come out of this, all simultaneously agreed, “Aye!” to open the final cabinet and receive their just reward or doom.

“Okay then…”

Martin turned around, placed the key in the lock, and slowly turned it. The men wielding weapons behind him stood ready, for anything. The lock set in, and as if spring loaded all three popped open at once. Everyone jumped weapons ready, until they saw its assets.

Food, water, guns, ammunition, and a note were the reserves, and excitement filled the air. “We’re getting out of here!” Lester yelled with excitement.

The girls jumped up and down in enthusiasm, Donna ignoring her wound.

Smiles lit up all around. Everyone was full of glee but Martin, who held the note in his hands, his face grave. He quieted everyone, and read it out loud, “Congratulations survivors! You are one step closer to the end of this chapter, whether it’s a happy ending or a tragedy is up to you. I have supplied you with weapons and resources, but now the floodgates are opened. My children have been released. Kill them all or die trying…”

Some showed excitement in bloodlust, some showed awe over the beautiful machine guns and automatic pistols, and some showed grief and anxiety.

“Wow! Let’s do this!” Greg said, “I spent four years in the service, I can shoot a gun.”

Martin nodded, “We will divvy it all up, and then we will rest. Tomorrow we will get out of here.”

The group organized and counted the 24 units of food, the 12 rifles and 12 pistols, enough ammo to hold sixty shots in each gun, and enough water to last them a good while. Of course, they were aware of the possibility of the resources being contaminated, but they chose to risk it in desperation.

Once that was all done, they chose to sleep on it before deciding who got what weapon. Eric, Greg, and Clarence guarded the rest who slept. The night was peaceful.

Oh wait, 12 rifles and pistols for 13 people. This must mean we're doing better than expected :clown:

Anyway, 65 ammo per gun. One person will be getting a rifle only, and one person will be getting akimbo pistols only. How about that eh? Since we are 1 rifle and pistol short to arm everyone.

Hmm!

People with 4 Food Units:
TwilightBlades
Double A
AVSM
Elite Ferret

People with 3 Food Units:
ATPG
Beskar
DiY

People with 2 Food Units:
CDf
Scottishranger

People Requiring Medical Aid:
ATPG (6hp)
Chaotix (5hp)
Greyblades (6hp)
Elite Ferret (7hp)

Edit: For food, its possible that we can just give food until everyone has 5 units of food, that will leave us with 2 spare units.

[Beskar]

If there was 12, it would obviously be 1 rifle and 1 pistol each and a equal share of ammo.

I would recommend that the strongest get that, while the weakest two shares that share between them. As the weakest two would obviously be best placed in a safety postion, the stronger ones would need the weapons ready for the main brunt of the fighting.

[Zain]

Anyway, 60 ammo per gun. One person will be getting a rifle only, and one person will be getting akimbo pistols only. How about that eh? Since we are 1 rifle and pistol short to arm everyone.

Fixed a number issue.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I recommend those of us who need the most medical attention are the least armed.

Dead people don't shoot weapons anyway. So those of you more likely to survive should be better armed.

[Beskar]

I recommend those of us who need the most medical attention are the least armed.

Dead people don't shoot weapons anyway. So those of you more likely to survive should be better armed.

Also near dead people would be obviously safer position than the healthly people. A gun is good enough protection, while the more active people would need both guns.

Also with the fixed ammo issue, everyone has 60 of each ammo, so if some one dies, one of the more injured can just take their gun.

[Beefy187]

Now comes the hard part. Getting out of here.

[Stildawn]

You guys should set up a trap with cross fire etc... Draw them all towards a planned position where you just open a can on them lol.

[Beskar]

You guys should set up a trap with cross fire etc... Draw them all towards a planned position where you just open a can on them lol.

Sounds good, but must likely situation is that they will wait for us and afterall, we need to escape to survive, they don't.

[Death is yonder]

They are fighting the battles on their terms, all we can do is plan to anticipate and counterattack.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Now, THIS is my kind of Party :pimp: Time to Battle. Alright guys. My idea is that we make our way to the garden for this epic fight. Here in the cramped corridors of the mansion we do not have the advantage, the Ghouls do. Outside we have better LOS, and can get in a more stable formations.


I will divide food soon, and we can hammer out a more specific plan. :yes:

[Death is yonder]

So whats the plan? Phase ends slightly under 13 hours doesn't it?

Everyone?

Really? Then I am boned, Got to go and will not be back for about 10 hours..... :sweatdrop:

yeah this phase isnt very long.........

Now, THIS is my kind of Party :pimp: Time to Battle. Alright guys. My idea is that we make our way to the garden for this epic fight. Here in the cramped corridors of the mansion we do not have the advantage, the Ghouls do.

WHAT???

:sweatdrop: :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop:

Dude!

Duuuuuude!!!

We back ourselves into a room with only one or two ways in, and no windows. We aim all our weapons at the doors and shoot them as they get bottlenecked. It's basic strategy.

Getting surrounded on all sides is suicide! We have the firearms, but they can only shoot in one direction. If we shoot in all directions that's less firepower per direction.

Get all the ghouls coming at us from a single direction, or two, and we can concentrate our firepower. Right? Am I right??? Stop me if I am wrong.

[Centurion1]

WHAT DID I TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guns i told you there were going to be guns.
Your'e all welcome for my amazing prescience

No we move from room to romm making sure we keep proper fields of fire. Where is somewhere in which we have not yet explored?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Room to room means we could set off traps or ambushes.

I dunno I'm against that idea.

[Death is yonder]

I think what CDf means is that our advantage over the hostile's speed and strength, is that we have range and cohesion, and likely numbers.
Okay basically we have 2 entries into this hall, and if we split the food evenly, we have everyone with 5 units of food, and 2 spare.

I don't know if the ghouls respond to suppressing fire, but covering fire certainly will have its use.

Bullets will need to be precise, although since this are rifles, I suppose that isn't a problem.

Just for clarification Zain, are these rifles bolt action rifles? Or are they semi automatic rifles like the M1 Garand used in WW2?

This will drastically change our orders, I believe.

Perhaps a numerical value on our rifle and pistol clip will help us to set orders that are more clear? EG: "Clip of 8, Use 5 to cover X, use remaining 3 just in case they break free of the kill zone the others are laying down and start rushing towards us"

I also suggest we forget not our melee weapons, when running out of ammo and no time to reload, and the ghouls literally breathing in your face, pistol is not your best friend.

Although something tells me, that the hostiles will get an upgrade of sorts now, best to keep on our toes and tread lightly. :juggle2:

Edit:
Really? Then I am boned, Got to go and will not be back for about 10 hours.....

Does this mean we'll be settling our own orders? Hmm...

Edit2: Could we perchance have an extension or something?

The current timing is not very accommodating to those who aren't around when the discussion begins, [in US and UK etc], at the moment I don't even know what I'm suppose to be doing...

I suspect some others will share the feeling, I don't think CDf is going to be issuing us things to do this phase, but with my lack of intel, I'll try and scrounge up something to send your way, Zain.

The rifles and pistols are automatic, and the phase ends in just about 31 and a half hours. Meaning, I should have put 0:00 GMT on Wednesday. :bow:

Clip sizes:
Rifle: 10
Pistol: 6

May or may not be accurate, but for this game we can just assume that's regular size. :bow:

[Death is yonder]

Ah, that simplifies matters then.

I will drop my highly circumstantial order which was almost sent.

Time to wait for official guidelines from CDf then, ah.

Hmm may I ask what era we are playing in? Almost all of this indicates 1900's-40's but it would be nice to know specifics.

Modern day placed in a Mansion lost in time.

[Greyblades]

Ok what about the house what era is that from?

[Zain]

Ok what about the house what era is that from?

Interior design dates at the late 1800s.

Stuff inside ranges from that time to modern day. It's obviously been abandoned for a while.

[Double A]

Wow, I don't know if it was the guns or Yakety Sax, but suddenly I'm less scared. It just went from actual horror to L4D though. The latter is almost completely scare-free, aside from being startled.

Of course the genre-change doesn't do little for our odds.

WHAT???

:sweatdrop: :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop:

Dude!

Duuuuuude!!!

We back ourselves into a room with only one or two ways in, and no windows. We aim all our weapons at the doors and shoot them as they get bottlenecked. It's basic strategy.

Getting surrounded on all sides is suicide! We have the firearms, but they can only shoot in one direction. If we shoot in all directions that's less firepower per direction.

Get all the ghouls coming at us from a single direction, or two, and we can concentrate our firepower. Right? Am I right??? Stop me if I am wrong.


Yeah, but what if the ghoul are even a little bit smart? They can make us waste our ammo and then have us trapped with no escape. I do not like being in a corner with no escape, I much prefer being in the open, where we can carefully keep tabs on the ghouls and tag' em and bag' em. If we are in the open we can keep formation and cohesion, and watch our backs. When we need rest we can commandeer the shed, and through it all we just need to keep vigilant and we should have no problems. Bottleneck can be just a suicidal as being in the open, especially because we do no know everything about our enemy. We can concentrate our fire just as well in the garden, with the added benefit that we will know how many ghouls are coming after us, and we will not waste ammo firing at them any more than we need too. You did hear the whole "released all my children" part right? What we have been fighting so far is child play compared to what we are against now. We can't be besieged in a single room. I feel like that will be suicide. No windows, No way out. Seems a bit final to me. If you want to stay behind then it is your choice, but Any man who wants to come with me I need to hear from now, I am writing up our orders now, need to find a way to get us through the corridors without harm. 4 line system seems to me like it will work. Tell you all later.

top everyone food off, put that up soon, and I believe I will divide up melee weapons. (don't forget about them, we only have limited ammo.)



I also had an idea.... Say we could get the pesticides into the kitchen and heat them in the oven. Do you think the explosion would be big enough to take out any ghouls in the room? Do you all think it would take them out?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yeah, but what if the ghoul are even a little bit smart? They can make us waste our ammo and then have us trapped with no escape.

There is no need to watch our backs when we have our backs to the wall.... :no:

I vehemently protest this course of action.


When we need rest we can commandeer the shed, and through it all we just need to keep vigilant and we should have no problems.

Anticipating problems should be part of our strategy brainstorming.



Bottleneck can be just a suicidal as being in the open, especially because we do no know everything about our enemy.

*cries*


We can concentrate our fire just as well in the garden

You cannot concentrate fire when you have 360 degrees to cover.


with the added benefit that we will know how many ghouls are coming after us, and we will not waste ammo firing at them any more than we need too. You did hear the whole "released all my children" part right? What we have been fighting so far is child play compared to what we are against now.

You've been a good leader but I am making my strategic stand here. Your plan is wrong in my opinion. I will follow orders if I am in the minority but I feel it is time to put it to a vote. Years of surviving hordes of zombies in resident evil games has taught me that bottlenecking is the correct strategy against any massed foe, no matter how powerful; especially the powerful ones.

I've also seen how being surrounded in the open does not favor the guy with the gun, it favors the horde.





Please vote on which strategy you prefer:

Cultured Drizzt Fan's garden stand

Or Askthepizzaguy's bottleneck strategy

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Maybe it is because I am in Zombie Defense mode, but sitting tight seems like a bad Idea. :sweatdrop:

I don't care what Resident evil says, when you do not know how many enemies are going to be thrown against you you do not sit tight and hope your defenses can take them. If we get bogged down and unable to leave the foyer we will all starve to death.

[Greyblades]

I'll take the Pistols akimbo but I'm going to need treatment.

[Double A]

Have you played L4D CDF?

If you get surrounded in the middle of a field you're as good as dead. Even though that doesn't happen very much... but you want less openings. If you make a stand on a mini building on Mercy Hospital you're screwed, but if you stay in the "safe house" you have a good chance of living until you bolt for the chopper or a tank comes barging in. A corner is a much safer bet, because you can't get flanked.

And the part with the elevator, with infected on 3 sides. That's not even a good one. You want 2 sides at the most.

Yeah, and does Left for dead take into account that we have 13 people who can be divided to form a fortified square formation? Does it also take into account we have 5 phases left of food? Excuse me if I doubt that the two situations are comparable.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Maybe it is because I am in Zombie Defense mode, but sitting tight seems like a bad Idea. :sweatdrop:

using the walls as barricades and the corridors as kill zones is a good idea.

When soldiers are on the field and outnumbered, do they prefer to be out in the open, or to have their flanks covered by solid structures?

I can see we're not going to agree, and I hope you don't take this personally, but I think we should have a say in our final strategy and put it to a reasonable democratic vote.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I am not going to make a decision for the group, I have never wanted to do that. :shrug:

[WilliamWallace]

Might I suggest taking into consideration the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae? They were consentrating their attack in one direction but were flanked. There are flaws in both ATPG's AND CDF's ideas.

Maybe the two of you should collaborate and see what sacrifices can be made to make a flawless plan?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I am not going to make a decision for the group, I have never wanted to do that.

Okay let's vote. :2thumbsup: Trust me, if the majority opinion is against me I will enthusiastically support the chosen strategy to the best of my abilities.

[Centurion1]

I am introducing the Centurion1 plan for action.

We militarize. If this plan is chosen i will elaborate.
We stay inside rooms moving as one coherent group
We MOVE but STAY INSIDE and bottleneck wherever we are.

Flanking is precisely the problem. They had to watch their backs.

If you try concentrating your fire when you can be surrounded it can't be done. The flaw in the Spartan's last stand was that they did NOT have their backs to the wall. It's as good an example as any to find a dead end room or a "corner" room which has one or two entrances in one direction or at most at a 90 degree angle, so our backs, all of them, are against the wall. No windows means no attacks from that direction.

The room in question is important, it cannot be a hallway where the two entrances are 180 degrees apart, that would be less helpful. That is the tactical situation which matches the battle at Thermopylae.

@Centurion1- I can't vote for a plan that isn't elaborated on.

Yes but these ghouls are all special infected, and there are more of them. And we have limited ammo. In L4D I rarely run out for my primary, and then if I do I can go akimbo on their asses. Your plan is simply not worth the risk.

My vote goes to Pizza.

[Centurion1]

well the core of MY plan is listed. But by militarize i mean develop extensive contingencies, oorganize squads, formations, rosters, maneuvers (door kicks, fortifications, fields of fire) easily denoted.

we take the game to the next level and turn something that is meant to be a survival game into a military exercise.

It would be alot of work but i think we could really improve our chances with extensive organization.

[Double A]

It might if we have enough ammo.

Maybe there's more somewhere in the building?

[Stildawn]

How about making a stand at X

https://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu22/stildawn/TheMansionF2.jpg

Correct me if Im wrong but that looks like a little deck type thing that looks over the backyard.... And have a very narrow attack point? Meaning that you could pick off any Gouls in the yard and still cover the approach alot... And also you could jump into the pool as an escape route lol.

This is all assuming host actually lets you get to that point.

[Greyblades]

We could do that but I'm nervose that that deck is held up by supports that could easily be broken by white eyes seeing as he seems to be intelligent as well as strong.

[Beskar]

Problem is, it is mor likely we have to do a sweep of rooms and corridors, rainbow 6 style to kill them off, opposed to us waiting for them to come to us.


We could do that but I'm nervose that that deck is held up by supports that could easily be broken by white eyes seeing as he seems to be intelligent as well as strong.

Something sounds wrong in that statement...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Perhaps an analogy will help illustrate what I am trying to say.

My girlfriend does not play video games... never has in her life, really.

Introducing her to Resident Evil 4, she has had trouble holding the weapon steady, trouble not panicking, not sure which button to push, and so on. There's one point at the very start of the game where she jumps out a window and three zombies attack her... she can't handle it, because they are in front and in back of her. Now, she gets to the village, and there's a horde of zombies, some wielding chainsaws which take dozens of bullets or several shotgun blasts to put down, and they all come at once. She goes inside the cabin, to the room with one door and no windows, and defeats all of them without any damage whatsoever, no panicking, and almost no misses either.

What is the difference? The difference is that all the enemies are coming from one side. She can't handle 3 zombies in the open, but she can destroy a horde of even more powerful enemies as long as they come from one direction. Since most of our characters are "civilians" without much battle skill or strength, this is very much a survival game, not Medal of Honor. To give our characters the best chance of survival, we need to put them into a situation so easy my girlfriend could do it and still kick butt.

That situation is the barricade room, fire at the entrance to the room strategy. And we will have lots of food, lots more guns, and lots of ammo, advantages that were not afforded to my Gf in the opening stages of RE4. From where I sit it is not only the simplest strategy, it is also the most likely to succeed. Being out in the open leads to more unexpected situations, and in the heat of the battle the formation can become disrupted. The zombies can rush one side of the circle. A gap in the circle and what happens? All our backs are to the gap in the field, making us all sitting ducks. That and Commando maneuvers running through this house of doom and pain doesn't appeal to me when we were scared enough to empty our bowels just exploring it a couple rounds ago. Now we're badass enough to run around like we own the place?


I'm aware I am not doing myself any favors, and I hate to downplay anyone else's ideas... I am just saying the margin for error is much higher in all other situations. I'm sorry, I don't wish to be combative.

The one argument I have seen against my plan: What happens if we get pinned down and we run out of food?

That means we are battling all night here. Which means that we would be battling all night in the garden. There's no way that battling out in the open for hours is superior to battling with our flanks covered for hours. And if there really are that many ghouls that we will starve fighting them, then we will starve out in the garden too.... with a lot less cover.

[Centurion1]

beskar you are totally supporting my plan. :2thumbsup:

whether you know it or not.......

[atheotes]

if you all stick to one place, how are you planning to lure the ghouls? or is it just going to be "wait till they show up themselves"?

Edit: must refresh before posting :yes:

[Greyblades]

Problem is, it is mor likely we have to do a sweep of rooms and corridors, rainbow 6 style to kill them off, opposed to us waiting for them to come to us.

Uh whoops sorry I'm tired making alot of mistakes anyway, I mean that I'm nervose that if it is a balcony/deck the hostiles will break the supports and send us plunging to the garden, even though the regular hostiles might not be that intelligent white eyes probably is.

[Chaotix]

My vote goes to ATPG's plan. Far superior to an open fire-fight.

:creep:

*Gets back to doing those roles... sigh, only about 20 to go.*

I was referring to the White_Eyes part, not the deck. (You know I love you really, White_Eyes)
Also, it is spelt 'nervous', just trying to assist with this statement, not belittle you.

[Centurion1]

i give up.......

i support any plan which is chosen. though i think atpgs AND cdf are doomed to failure.

[A Very Super Market]

Presumably, they want to attack us. AtPG's plan would be perfect if they were zombies, single-minded and rather dull. These hostiles seem to be more or less stationary, with occasional bursts of craziness. White Eyes doesn't seem to have lost any intelligence, just sanity. If we hunker down in a corner, they, or the mansion owner will simply bide their time and wait for us to starve. I say we should stick inside the house, so we aren't completely exposed, but move around semi-aggresively in case they don't want to play nice.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I am also reminded of total war games. Anyone recall holding off the mongol horde with 2 or 3 pikemen units? How did you do that?

Inside castle walls, not out in the open.

Allowing ourselves to be flanked is suicide.



Also it is spelled "spelled" not "spelt" :clown:

[Greyblades]

@Beskar: No no I deserve belittlement (is that a word?) for trying to post coherently in my state. In any case white eyes is the only hostile that has shown itself able to speak english so I'm assuming he's more intelligent than the others, or at least he was afew turns ago.

[Centurion1]

avsm as well agreed with me.....

No, you don't deserve to be belittled. I was making a joke at White_Eyes with my statement. Don't worry about it, I know what you was trying to say. :yes:

[Askthepizzaguy]

Now, I get how the front doors to the mansion are locked...

But considering our immense firepower, those doors would have to be made of titanium to withstand a barrage of our weapons fire.

Could we escape?

[A Very Super Market]

I wouldn't waste the time.

You aren't responding to the main criticism, that there is no guarantee they will file down into our bunker and subject themselves to our fire.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I wouldn't waste the time.

You aren't responding to the main criticism, that there is no guarantee they will file down into our bunker and subject themselves to our fire.

If that is the case, then there's no guarantee they will file down to the garden and subject themselves to our fire.

If they don't attack us in our bunker then we still need to figure out a way out of this mansion. I don't see how we do that in superior fashion in the garden.

If they don't attack us, then as distasteful as it is, we may be forced to move through the house en masse, but we aren't forced to do that yet.

[Greyblades]

Well I suggest we put one round into each lock if that doesnt work we use 3 rounds on the windows and if that doesnt work we'll go back to killing the rest of the hostiles.

[Double A]

ATPG and CDF have relatively the same idea, but Pizza's involves better protection on our part, and CDF's requires us all to be Spartan IIs, Cogs, or Mr. T, unless the hostiles come in waves of two.

With ATPG's plan some of us can actually sleep, which we should not forget about, but CDF requires us to be awake 24/7 lest we get Whitey'd. 5 days is better than 2 or 3.

[Centurion1]

I GIVE UP!

why cant you use my idea to introduce turn sleeping as well for example.

1. Move to a room. clear room
2. sleep group 1
3. move to room sleep group 2
etc.....

we dont get bogged down or encircled, play the nomad game.

[Double A]

We'd surely run out of food. Not trying to bring you down, but I like living. Even if I am a girl apparently.

[Centurion1]

we move to rooms like the kitchen storeroom, etc. looking for more food. and how do you propose we resupply with either of the other plans?

[WilliamWallace]

Raindrops don't hurt (unless frozen) but sheets of water can break necks.

Use a bottle neck idea, travel in a small pack of two or three to investigate a room, when it is clear all enter it and fight off the rest from the door that may be following or that may find you all after clearing and entering the room. This way new food can be found, and you can rest when its needed. You have 30 hours until you all starve, 5 turns, I suggest getting a move on it.

Also, you haven't explored several rooms, I personally like Stilldawn's idea. A lounge typically is a place of living and there is usually snacks/food there, then the deck looking thing would be a perfect place for 300 the Hostiles without getting flanked, unless the Hostiles can climb buildings. :help:

Edit: Just in case it wasn't clear, send a small group to investigate a room, once it is clear send a messenger back, then bring the entire group. :bow:

[Greyblades]

we move to rooms like the kitchen storeroom, etc. looking for more food. and how do you propose we resupply with either of the other plans?

I keep saying it we should spit roast the dead hostiles.
But then again white eyes is turing/turned into one so maybe they're people, so, would it be cannibalism?

[Centurion1]

I dont know greyblades they just dont scream edible at me.

[Beefy187]

I support the bottle neck plan. If numbers are on their side, that is obviously the superior plan.

We hold for a turn or two, then we can start moving I say.

[Zain]

I just wanted to let everyone know there is a set number of Hostiles. But the number will remain a mystery. :bow:

Continue discussing please, the more ideas get thrown out there the better the plan will be that is used.

[Greyblades]

I dont know greyblades they just dont scream edible at me.

Hey it was just a suggestion, and I didn't think that it would be taken seriously while we are still well supplied.

[Stildawn]

I personally like Stilldawn's idea

Here here lol.

[Beskar]

I think the best plan would be a 50/50 plan. It is superior to both ATPG's and Cultured Drizzt Fan's ideas.

The thing is, the hostiles would most likely wait for us, or zerg us and we get overwhelmed. However, some people need to sleep / eat and other things.

So having roughly half the people hole up in a easy to defend place would be an idea. The second half of the group scout around the building, trying to find White_Eyes to kill/Kill hostiles and get us more food and other resources, etc.

[Double A]

Could we possibly have killed off the supply before we opened the cabinets with our gardening tools of doom?

[Zain]

Could we possibly have killed off the supply before we opened the cabinets with our gardening tools of doom?

No, the set amount was put into play when you opened the cabinets. Before was just circumstancial.

[Death is yonder]

Okay, my thoughts on the matter.

No.1: The hostiles aren't a very stupid lot, they don't flock like sheep to our fire, we actually have to be more proactive. As an example, Atheotes was killed early this game, because our orders didn't include cover the vanguard, it was vanguard cover the rear, but if he failed, what happened?

Basically, the "hostiles", host controlled I believe, are smart, take advantage of weak points in our situation, and even formation, which is why I believe CDf's idea will not work.

Our current stand is to survive as a group, but that means that we don't just play the hero and rush out as if suddenly with guns, we're superheroes. We have a slight edge only, and that is range, but what happens when we lose our range advantage?

No.2: Our supplies are finite, they will eventually run out, and wear and tear and repeated assaults will eventually bring us down, slowly, but surely. This is why Pizza's idea of simply camping is not exactly the best.

We have only 5 rounds to expand, we cannot hope to hunker down in a fortified location forever, we need to use our remaining supplies proactively to improve our situation.

No.3: We need to continue our previous running around and doing stuff to improve our lot, more keys and clues wouldn't hurt either. Guns don't change anything from our game, merely our combat orders.

In Essence: We just need to keep moving around and staying safe, and alternating destinations, and sleeping and exploration.

Our exploration groups are more well armed, hence we can afford to send them out with hope for less casualties now, if things hold the way they are. We can't be complacent, we may have guns, but who knows what the hostiles have now?

There is no reason to make a last stand while we try and escape, or in a do-or-die situation.

Life goes on in this mansion, we just need to stay together and work as a team, if we just keep being proactive, things will look up for us again :yes:

As a suggestion, I suppose we could head to locations that were populated by hostiles in the beginning. Whilst it is possible that the host random.orgs hostile location in accordance to our destinations, it is also possible they are set pieces meant to guard items, like the store room had many hostiles, and turned out to have excellent loot.

Thoughts?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Soooo...... Pesticides, big explosion?



Zain, I am dividing the food as DIY suggested, 5 to each person and two left over as reserve. I will get to my own personal orders soon. Have to go now.

[Death is yonder]

So what's the destination for the turn?

Split up and explore more, or hunker down and be more conservative, sending fewer teams?

Edit: Seems like nothing is happening until I'm long gone... just a note, I hope that CDf or someone will be able to take over my orders for the next order phase. Additionally, CDf, please send a location order for my character to Zain, once a consensus on our moves in this phase has been reached. I'm sending you the circumstantial orders, as well as Zain, so please, feel free to modify it along with my movement target for the turn, after all, its just a template.

@Zain: I hope that someone is allowed to just give me location orders or something, because I am unable to be doing that...

[Ferret]

vote:ATPG

However I have a few problems; as others have said I find it unlikely that suddenly all of the hostiles will charge the spot we chose, that's just too convenient. I think we should have this as a first plan but then move from area to area if no one comes, while bottlenecks are preferable we have enough people to cover a few directions.

Which brings me on to my next point; we have a lot of people that aren't all going to fit in one corner, we're going to have to split up at least into two or three groups or we'll end up shooting each other or only having a few people firing at once.

Finally who said the best plan of action was to kill all the hostiles? Now that we have used the keys in their heads there isn't really much benefit to killing them. It may be better to search the rooms we haven't been in yet for a way out or for any clues.

edit: I also think it might be a good idea to leave a group behind with most of the food and send out two groups with only one unit per person. This way we avoid losing too much food if the battle groups are unsuccessful. Of course there is the risk of the people with all the food being attacked, but the foyer seems pretty safe to me.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I believe we can move anywhere in the mansion in one turn, assuming there isn't an obstacle in the way. Because of this, I think given our reserves we can afford to bunker ourselves for a night. If nothing happens with these ghouls, in terms of added aggressiveness, then we are in a better position than I thought and they consider us to have the advantage. We should be able to make a play for exploring and finding a way out.

I am assuming there are not an unlimited number of ghouls; they were dying and being depleted earlier, and it makes sense that this new horde would not be indestructible and infinite in number as well. Otherwise you've got what could be a broken game.

If there's no way through the front doors (we have tried the keys, right?) then let's find where these keys go next round. We should pick a room that is our "fallback" position while we are exploring (or several rooms) which are defensible, that way we might be able to "explore" and still temporarily gain the advantages of bunkering down; the best of all plans.

[Centurion1]

^and once more atpg has taken charge........ lol :clown:

[Askthepizzaguy]

What? No... no.... I'm just err taking on more of an outspoken advisory role. Yeah, that's the ticket. Like, I'm still a ditsy blonde and junk.


With an unnaturally extensive background as it pertains to stomping all over the supernatural, it seems.

[Zain]

Orders received, 4/13. Phase extended ~21 hours until Thursday 0:00 GMT.

:whip:

-edit-

Listen people, the orders that have been given to me have been very short and contain no information. Right now, I am assuming you are all staying in the Foyer because I'm only getting orders that say things like "Guard the door at location" and things of that nature.

CDF, make a decision. This is YOUR time to shine, you WON the Battle Royale. Remember??

If no one leads then I assure you everyone will die in just a couple of phases if not less... :no:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Hey, unlike normally I Have to hear the plan from Atpg. IF he is not going to either post it or send It then there is not much I can do. :juggle2: Not sure what you lot are expecting of me. Decide what we are doing, and tell me what I am supposed to put for our orders.

[Centurion1]

i think all these plans are stupid

[Askthepizzaguy]

If someone knows a better (and explain how it is better) room than the conservatory (only one way in) then propose it.

Otherwise, the suggestion here is that everyone moves to the conservatory, wastes any ghouls en route, inside the room, and prepares to blast anything entering that room with all of our weapons trained in that direction. We do not position ourselves in each other's line of fire.

Other than that, individual orders/creativity is encouraged, but mostly you're just sitting and shooting. There's not much more to say.

[Ferret]

This will do for now, I'll go with that.

[Greyblades]

So stay wih the group and shoot anything white eyes shaped?

Seeing as they arent as useful anymore I hope no-one minds if I keep the machete and bowie knife, its mostly for sentimental reasons but also because I'm not getting a rifle.

[Zain]

~5 hours left in this phase. Please send in your orders. :bow:

If this game has dropped off due to the genre change I am terribly sorry. :shame:

[Askthepizzaguy]

As Cultured Drizzt Fan is the "leader" (or I am for this phase, whichever) we simply order all the players who didn't send in orders to comply with the plan. Should mean you can continue with the game without mass-WOG'ing people.

[Double A]

I would gladly send in my orders if it was clear to which plan we are using. And if we actually are going to the conservatory I think we need a rear guard so they can't come up from the deck tower thingy. Also I'm pretty sure there'd be windows in that room.

[Askthepizzaguy]

https://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i10/ZainDustin/TheMansionF2.jpg

Master bathroom then? it's on the second floor and bathrooms rarely have large windows.

I think the vote points to the bunker strategy, but no one is forced to go along with it. Any strategy would have a better chance of success if we all do it though.

Ummm.... All the windows are bricked up anyways, so I do not think that should factor into our plans.

[Double A]

Wait the longue has 2 doors...

[Centurion1]

lets end out a pm with details to everyone

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Gah still nothing. I am not sure what you guys are expecting me to do. :wall: Someone make some orders darn it, or I am going to have us sit around and do the chicken dance in the foyer all phase.

[Beefy187]

We will all arm our selves with the best weapon available.
Tonight we will barricade our selves in the foyer and prepare for any unwelcomed guests attempting to enter the room.

We will shoot any intruders mercilessly but in an orderly manner. Soon as we are absolutely sure that theres no more intruders attempting to enter the room, we will repair any damage done to the door, heal the injured and refortify the place while we discuss what we do next.

This is what I think we are doing. Correct me if I'm wrong or if someone have a better plan :bow:

[Ferret]

I think we should wait in the foyer for one phase, just to make sure hordes of ghouls don't attack us, and then resume our searching of rooms for clues and equipment. Only this time I strongly suggest that the exploration groups only take one unit of food each, we can't afford to lose any more food to dead people...

[Greyblades]

Did we retrieve atheotes rations when we raided the store room?

[Askthepizzaguy]

So, we aren't going to barricade ourselves in the conservatory or the master bathroom then?

:juggle2:

[Beskar]

I can't remember if in the orders I said to pick up the pistol+rifle +60 ammo for each... if not, I will be fighting hostiles with a screwdriver. o_O

[Greyblades]

Well seeing as noone is objecting I'm going to be the one with two hand guns, though I'm not too sure who's getting the single rifle.

[Zain]

Guys, pretty much this game has dropped off for a few reasons.

1.) No one took charge and made the decision, so therefore three days after the last write-up we're still seeing questions like, "So, we aren't going to barricade ourselves in the conservatory or the master bathroom then?"

2.) Too many people have WoG'd themselves but because of the nature of the game lots of inactive people are still alive.

3.) There are too many games being played at the same time, so number of players and the attention received by players is too low.

4.) My time has been short due to a busy work schedule and unpredictable weekend schedule.

Despite my best efforts to issue out the best write-ups I could, including the last one which had lots of preparation and plenty of description and emotion, and despite the efforts of a few players who have been the driving force of this game, I regret to announce that this game is officially over.

Too bad too, the ending was going to be great.

[atheotes]

that is bad news indeed :sad:

[Greyblades]

Aww... Is there any chance I can change your mind?

[Zain]

If 10 surviving players sign a petition against WoGing this game then I will continue it.

[Greyblades]

Well you've got my signature.

[Stildawn]

Ill replace inactives if you want... Come on... After reading all this I have to know the ending lol.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I am still here, Its just I do not want to have to push everyone else along. :sweatdrop: I have tried to be a good leader, but I do not have the time to be expected to come up with the perfect plan every phase, especially when we have scrapped my own Idea and are going off someone else's :shrug:

I am up for continuing.

[WilliamWallace]

I will replace an inactive too if you would like. I am in the same boat as Stildawn I do believe, :laugh4:

[atheotes]

though i am dead... i can take over from any player who is dropping off.

[Zain]

Okay well that's 5 so far. :juggle2:

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm up for finishing the game so long as it ends before mine starts in over a week.

[Chaotix]

I'm still here. I would have sent orders, but as we haven't come to a general consensus...

[Askthepizzaguy]

If it would get things going, I could withdraw my plan of action and we just do whatever the next person says. Let's finish the game.

[Double A]

I think we should nuke Iran.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Whatever the next SANE person says.

[Greyblades]

Find the largest room we havent been to yet and clear it out?

[Askthepizzaguy]

WORKS FOR ME!!! LETS DO IT!!! CHAAAAAAAAARGE!!!

[Beefy187]

I'm still here. Apologies for the 2 line orders, but it will be replaced soon as we figure out what we're going to do. :shame:

[Centurion1]

im in and heres my plan

We are too assign into three squads

Alpha Squad
Centurion1
A very super market
Double A



Beta squad
Cultured Drizzit Fan
Beefy 187
Death is Yonder



Charlie Squad
Ask The Pizza Guy
Twilightblade
Beskar


Delta squad (hurt and healer)
Scottish Ranger
Chaotix
Elite Ferret
Greyblades



Weapons Distribution
Everyone gets a pistol and a automatic rifle (sorry greyblades) except for scottish ranger who will be protected by the injured people HE WILL WIELD THE STAPLE GUN INSTEAD).

The ammo is to be distributed evenly out.


Battle Plan
1. Alpha squad takes point and moves to our location, the Kitchen (just a jump off point)

2. Beta Squad is to remain as our rear guard.

3. Charlie squad moves in the middle protecting the delta squad. They are also our qrf (quick reaction force) they move to wherever the greatest threat is.

4. Delta squad remains in the middle defending Scottishranger in the hopes that we find some sort of medical supplies.


Specialization

Room entry maneuvers.
When entering a room we will go commando style. As i will be in the group who will be completing the manuver i will serve as the brute force. I use my frame to smash down the door. Soldier a (door breaker, ME) will throw one (think deadly flash bang). Squad member b will then spray suppressing fire at whatever is waiting (avsm in this case). After 5 seconds of suppressive fire the other squad members (myself and double a) enter the room and run alongside the walls corralling the enemy into the center. no one is to be captured. As a final part the suppression member will rush from the front and clear out whoever is remaining.

QRF
The quick reaction force is a key element and this is how you will operate. If you hear three sharp whistles or heavy gunfire you move to the sound of it keeping guard on 12 and 6 o clock. Once there you will MAKE SURE TO CHECK FOR Friendlies before opening fire. Mow down the hostiles and secure the gropu making sure they are okay. if injured you send them to the delta squad for rest and replace with one of your own members.

Rear Guard

your job is perhaps the most important. You will remain in a reverse vee formation (see diagram). your leader CDF will remain as the center and will direct your fire. If overwhelmed YOU CANNOT retreat. I recommend using directed fire from two people and switching off so while one person reloads at least two others are firing.

V
V V

THE REAR FACES HERE

Delta Squad (HEal Squad)

Stay in the middle and protect the medic AT ANY COST. I recommend using a fortified square formation as follows. Allow scots to direct your fire. Hopefully you wont need these orders because we are not going to allow hostiles to reach you.

Fortified Square

P P

S

P P


Secondary Role

Pack mules
sorry while you are injured you are also our pack mules. And the thing you are carrying besides our food and good melee weapons is Tables. we are to strip the foyer of our tables and they are to be used as portable barricades wherever we go.


Contingency plan King Under Fire

If severly pressed AND I MEAN SEVERELY we are to retreat to the center with delta squad. We will deploy in a 2 level fortified square with scots at the center and the hurt serving as the second line of defense. We healthy are the first line. The tables delta squad brought will be used as our barricades. two people to a table in the first line and the gurt fill in behind them. Make sure your lines of fire are good.


Kitchen Remodeling

we are playing the ancient roman card here. Once we scavenge everything left in the kitchen we are going to fort up the entrance. two men are stationed here. Leave a table there and staple gun it to the wall. Behind that table leave two more tables as such. two more are stationed here. with two men behind each.

Entrance
Table

Table Table

Table


everyone else is sleeping. Alpha and Beta squad are serving in this capacity.

scottish ranger is also not sleeping as he is to tend to the wounded as best he can.

Special weapons
alpha squad is issued two molotov cocktails (we can construct these right with what we have. im thinking pesticides instead of liqour (they are flamaable)

beta squad gets trhe rest to be used sparingly. Alpha squad replaces these with flashbangs in room clearing techniques. Soldier a (door breaker, ME) will throw one in before the rest of the plan proceeds.

Any QUESTIONS?

GOOD I DIDNT THINK SO


seriously any thoughts tell me. CDF i would appreciate it if you could send this out.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm just going to go ahead and copy/paste that into my PM and send it as my orders.

For formality. I am now a follower and I will do whatever, since we couldn't agree to just do the bunker plan.

[Double A]

I wish we had battle axes instead of puny pistols.

[Centurion1]

so is this cool with everyone? zain if people dont send this in can you treat it as dogma.... lol.

what if we had pistols that shot battle axes?

[Centurion1]

im sending it out

Edit; i will be saying below who has confirmed orders.... so we know who is a traitor to the cause.

Confirmed
Double A
A Very Super Market
AskThePizzaGuy
Centurion1 (duh)
Chaotix
Cultured Drizzit Fan

Greyblades
Beefy187
Elite Ferret

[A Very Super Market]

I'm in.

[Centurion1]

respond to the pm :whip:

(just so zain can have some confirmation).


But i guessssss ill put you on my list. but only cause your'e canadian and are therefore like my long lost cousin

[Askthepizzaguy]

I have agreed to go along with this plan, you can add me to your list there.

[Centurion1]

i just want everyone to know that if this plan fails i take full responsibility and will never try to take the leader spot again. added you atpg

[A Very Super Market]

Not likely. I'm a first generation immigrant from China.

[Chaotix]

I've sent the PM in.

[Centurion1]

Not likely. I'm a first generation immigrant from China.


well ironically im chinese as well...... (but more like 3 generation) so..... YAY!!!!!! i found my long lost cousin

you can still be on my list

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm Chinese.... in spirit... :embarassed:

lousy uninteresting European ethnic heritage.

[Beefy187]

I've sent my orders to Zain following Centurions plan :bow:

[Death is yonder]

Just sent in my orders following Cent's plan, please don't close this game Zain, although if RL constraints are starting to wear heavily on you, its perfectly fine. :bow:

You have my signature.

Meh, Chinese person here, most here are descended from Chinese immigrants a long time ago. :yes:


i just want everyone to know that if this plan fails i take full responsibility and will never try to take the leader spot again. added you atpg

As long as you tried, its okay.

:bow:

Leadership is both a born trait, and an acquired trait, but both ways, it still takes up a lot of time to work out. :yes:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Leadership is both a born trait, and an acquired trait, but both ways, it still takes up a lot of time to work out. :yes:

Plus its boring. Much more fun to be the second in command and just be the one who gives good Ideas and nudges you in the right direction. :laugh4: You can either be a weak leader who listens to what everyone else says, which frankly is boring. Or a strong leader who picks the path and forces everyone else to follow it, which makes everyone hate you. :laugh4: I wanted to be the nice guy this game, so I went with the weak leader routine. :yes:


I here by endorse centurions orders as my own!

[Greyblades]

Ditto.

[Ferret]

I'm in, the only problem was the lack of a leader in the last round *glares at CDf* :clown:

Let's do it!

[Centurion1]

thats ten. three to go. I still need scottishranger, twilightblade, and beskar to respond.

scots is usually on once a day, beskar is on today but hasnt responded to me (grrr) and i didnt even know twilightblades was playing.

if one of these people keeps missing we can replace him with stildawn or something. This plan needs everyone active

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I'm in, the only problem was the lack of a leader in the last round *glares at CDf* :clown:

Let's do it!

*glares right back* ORLY? Think for yourself, I am not here to tell you what to do every phase. :laugh4: Being leader is hard work, you try it sometimes. :laugh4:

[Centurion1]

everyone calm down.......

we only need two more. beskar and twilightblade. I think beskar is going to be on soon but i dont know where twilightblade is. Anyone else know?

And zain hasnt checked back yet

[Stildawn]

Im here if you need me... Just let me know lol

[Zain]

Guys, having a full weekend. Set up a player's list, replacing any inactives and get official orders to me. I will start the game with an amazing write-up Sunday evening Texan time.

Thank you all. :bow: And I apologize for the delay here.

[Centurion1]

alright cool zain. if twilightblade doesnt respond to me by late afternoon or beskar than you replace one stildawn.

[Double A]

I'm Irish/Scottish/German :smash:

[Stildawn]

Ok well flick me a PM if Im needed to step in lol.

[Beskar]

Why would Zain replace me? I already sent in my orders a couple days ago. o_O

[Centurion1]

^ update them to mine.... we cant have any lone wolves.

i think i gave Twilightblade enough time, stildawn you are replacing him.

ill fire off a pm to Zain saying you replaced him

[Stildawn]

Ok so what do I do? Whats the plan for my character?

[Centurion1]

you are twilightblade now. you do whatever he is doing in the plan.

alright everyone has confirmed!

[Stildawn]

Ill have to go back and read.... lol.

[Centurion1]

youre either in squad a b or c. You dont have to send in anything specific. just send a pm to zain saying you agree to my plan.

[Stildawn]

Ahh k Im in C Squad by the looks of things... and yet I sent it in... Ill Send to you also lol I just copied and pasted really.

[Stildawn]

So whats happening?

[Zain]

I am back and ready to go, rummaging through 16 pms to see what yall have decided to do, and then I'll spit out a long awaited write-up within 9 hours at the most. I hope to do it in three. :hide:

Thank you for your patience players :bow:

-edit-

Finished in 2 :wink:

[Zain]

Write-up 7

John (Centurion1) listened as Donna (Askthepizzaguy) and Martin (Cultured Drizzt fan) went back and forth between a few different battle plans. They could not come up with a consensus, and so therefore he kicked his mind into high gear.

“Alright people be quiet and listen up! We are splitting into four squads, Squad Alpha with myself, Jeffrey (A Very Super Market), and Casey (Double A): Squad Beta with Martin, Clarence (Beefy187), and Greg (Death is yonder): Squad Charlie with Donna, Eric (Stildawn), and Nicole (Beskar): and Squad Delta with Lester (Chaotix), Brian (Elite Ferret), Steven (Greyblades), and David (Scottishranger)!”

He stepped forward in the middle of the group, “Alpha will be the guiding force, driving through anything, making the entrances into rooms, and most importantly keeping their eyes open for Hostiles! We know there will be many and we can’t risk anything!

“Beta will be our rear guard, keeping pace with the pack but keeping their eyes where everyone else is not. We will NOT be snuck up on!”

“Charlie will be in the center as our quick reaction force! They will be used wherever they are needed most and will also guard Delta, which consist of our injured, supply holders, and healer.”

“We depart for the kitchen in 15 minutes…”

The group, seemingly caught off guard by John’s sudden outburst of logic, followed him, and fifteen minutes later they set off for the Kitchen.

Rifle and pistol on hand, and everyone carrying four units of food (having eaten before they left), they quickly opened the door into the Hall and there saw the beginnings of their foes.

At the end of the Hall stood five Hostiles, all similar to the ones the group had seen before the “flood”. John, Jeffrey, and Casey aimed and each fired at a separate Hostile, each calling either one on the far sides or the center and let each a round fly. Two caught the Hostiles in the upper body, and the other caught the leg. With this first shot they realized that the bullets were rather effect towards the Hostiles. The one taken by John in the very center was killed with a shot to the chest. Casey made contact with one’s kneecap. And Jeffrey hit his target in the shoulder. Casey’s fell to the ground and let out a scream, Casey shot two more shots, missing the first and making contact with its neck to kill it and silence it. Jeffrey shot his target once more in the chest as it ran towards them. And John shot down the other two in the process. Five Hostiles down and eight rifle rounds used.

The team sprinted towards the Kitchen door. All other doors were closed, and Charlie and Delta came up behind them, Charlie covering the doors into the Billiard Room and Ball Room. Beta covered the rear, watching the door into the Conservatory.

Before leaving Brian the chemical engineer with help with others constructed a flashbang mechanism out of the pesticides they had discovered. John wielded one as Jeffrey and Casey kept hard sights on the door. John kicked the door down, threw in a flashbang instantly and charged in, followed by Jeffrey and then Casey.

Inside remained seven Hostiles, ready for battle. They charged the group of three wielding firepower. These Hostiles had already undergone their rage transformation and so therefore they took more shots averaging between two and three well placed shots to take down.

Alpha and Charlie, consisting of six shooters, stormed the room and the seven Hostiles inside. Alpha stuck to the walls to cluster their enemies and Charlie rammed the middle. Beta stayed behind near the entrance to the Kitchen to guard Delta and keep watch on the other doors.

Once all seven Hostiles were killed and their bodies removed the Delta team set up a table barricade over the kitchen door, then a second row of two a ways back, and then a final row furthest back.

David tended their wounds, although none had any massive ones but Nicole Reed, member of the Charlie group, who suffered a massive blow to the head from the third to last Hostile to be shot down by Jeffrey. Nicole died a half hour after the strike.

No food or useful equipment was found in the kitchen. No one had time to sleep.

[Stildawn]

Ooo.... So i guess we hole up here for awhile... 12 kills not bad, thought it depends on how big the "Flood" is. Id say the flood will be around 50 if we can kill them this easy..

[Greyblades]

Alas poor beskar I knew him... not much actually.
So now what do we wait or do we seek the hostiles out?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Let's us all follow Centurion1, as his plan seems to be working well enough.

[Chaotix]

Some of us are going to have to sleep, or else we die. Perhaps we should have one group hold down the kitchen and sleep while another does a sweep of any rooms we may have missed, looking for more supplies?

I know we haven't checked Bedroom A on the first floor or that small circular room on the second floor.

[Beskar]

Why did I get killed? :cry:

[Stildawn]

I say that we keep altogether lol that system worked.... So I reckon those that need sleep sleep and the others fortify the room... Im assuming thats what the tables were for.

[Stildawn]

After that....

We do the same thing again and go from room to room doing really good searches.... Like we havent really searched the Billards Room properly or the conservatory if I remember correctly.

[Chaotix]

But if we wait one night here, then more people will need sleep tomorrow, and we'll be even more indisposed to do anything.

[Centurion1]

i am sorry beskar im sure it was just random.org.

i say we follow my plan again.

i also move that we relocate to another room. once there we can rest.

we have never been to the conservatory everyone up to check it out?

[Beefy187]

i am sorry beskar im sure it was just random.org.

i say we follow my plan again.

i also move that we relocate to another room. once there we can rest.

we have never been to the conservatory everyone up to check it out?

So we do what we did last night?

[Zain]

I apologize. This Phase ends on Thursday at 0:01 GMT.

[Centurion1]

yeah but we are moving to the conservatory (or somewhere better?) and beskar is going to be replaced with with somebody in delta squad

hhhmmmmm..... I feel like taking a more active role now. I have some free time coming up, so Centurion I am willing to do my own tactics at least. What is the plan?

(I have been very busy, but things are looking up, I should be more active for a little while.)

I seem to be on 1 energy as well. I probably need to sleep as well.

[Stildawn]

But doesnt it say that I require sleep now?

I volunteer to keep the men company while they sleep.

Sorry :sweatdrop:

Let's us all follow Centurion1, as his plan seems to be working well enough.

:yes: A great job at that too it seems.

Poor Beskar, we will remember you as we storm the delusional masters of the house :cry:

I think we might need to split up slightly, if not we will be wasting food by having everyone stay still for 2 turns.

We should perhaps have a sleeping triangle of sorts, to ensure that when every lot sleeps, we have a satisfactory amount of guards, ensuring safety, but allowing us to temporarily split up and not waste that extra 1 food by waiting and staying together till everyone has slept.

Thoughts?
