Of course not. Let me know which phases you want.

Or I could just post the entire dialogue. My orders and the reports, back and forth, if people are interested?
You where sniping for several rounds yeah? We thought you were a serial killer.

Brilliant ATPG. Bloody brilliant.

I am content with my 9th place. Considering my combat skills (2), I could have hardly done better (Killing a Plague Tyrant was awesome as was).

I knew Wishazu would take top spot. But, I was not expecting to finish as high as 2nd... especially because half my game was searching. That said, I am very happy to have even participated, finishing second is just the cherry on top. :bow:

And the other half was wiping the floor with the baddest creatures I could throw at you, and accomplishing all your objectives.

You had a technically flawless kind of game. Even Wishazu fragged his own teammate. Well done.

ATPG, who was the character whose stats most evolved during the game?

I had excellent team-mates too. :yes: I'd say the Dream Team. :grin:

I owe a lot to both Ironside and Blackadder. They were more often than not the brains behind the operation. And Ironside's understanding of the game mechanics, without actually being privy to all the info was astounding. He could pick out the likelihoods of events and the probable way the game was being run right from the out-set. He and Blackadder both picked up on the relevance of the stats and the weightings needed for the completion of our goals.

If I could have changed anything it would have been my starting stats. I would have dropped Stealth completely, it wasn't pertinent to my playing style. Same with Strength. This would have made me much better at everything I did in game. I only fought in Melee once, and did well, but luck and a good weapon played a role there. Combat at 10 instead of 8 and Luck and Vit boosted by one each would have bettered my chances at hitting some of my missed shots and shrugging off some of the damage I took.

Strength: 1
Combat: 10
Vitality: 6

Stealth: 1
Awareness: 7

ATPG, who was the character whose stats most evolved during the game?

That depends. Diana's stats got boosted when she had sex with (and then ate) Generalhankerchief.
Basically, Generalhankerchief does a body good. :kiss:

Diana's conversion of Greyblades, Stildawn, and Stuck in Pi greatly boosted their stats, obviously. Anyone who transformed into an Omega transformation gained 1 point in every stat. Anyone who died enough times to become a Gamma zombie (third iteration) had the following stats:

Strength 9
Combat 7
Vitality 5
Speed 7
Stealth 7
Awareness 8
Luck 3

Which is more than most townies. They also got a chainsaw. However, if you're talking about adding to stats via consumption of herbs, then:

Technically El Gigante scores 51,000 points. But I had zero control over what he did.

He moved toward whoever was the largest group (within one tile of each other)
He was in permanent berserk mode
He had no items or weapons
Everything was random.org'ed.

So really, I didn't earn one single point he earned. That was all controlled by the players themselves.

And got points for it if I got the score correctly...
Anyway, I'm going to kick myself down to a fourth place since Blackadder scored higher then me by killing more stuff and my score is correct. Got his to 122400, when not counting the slaying plague demons reward that's noted twice. Might be a mistake from my side if it differs on tyrants and demons.

For scoring, Tyrants and Demons are worth the same.

I may have made mistakes on many people's scores. I will audit every score that needs to be audited, and if you bump up or down one, then you will. :bow:

I liked my phase 2 one, the rest of mine that were interesting were more or less covered in your public writeups.

"Fang chases down his primary target, the one who had been in T-21. He chases him across the Black River Bridge, and readies himself. The fool had his hands at his sides, trying to make friends with you. You whip out your Wakizashi and slash at him viciously, making contact with his chest, splattering blood everywhere. The fool is knocked down, and reaches for something in his bag. You slash at him again and he rolls out of the way. Then he grabs the thing he had been carrying, a....

Manhole cover?

You slash at him again, but the fool has some moves. Even with a manhole cover, he spins out of the way of your attack and bashes you in the face with it, knocking you to the ground and bloodying up your lip. You strike back at him, and he blocks it with the heavy iron object. Then he runs like a coward, as fast as his little legs can carry him, from the battle."

While many of the others aren't as detailed, I gave some of the basic characters a little extra flair too. Even the most basic townie got some information that made them feel less vanilla.

Interesting factoids.

Some novels-

Animal Farm 30,000 words
Heart of Darkness 37,488 words
Wide Sargasso Sea 43,111 words

Resident Evil: Dark Falls Game Thread, From "Prologue" to "Thank you for playing"-
54,103 words

exactly 1/2 of my "Character Cards" text file, or the approximate average amount of text I sent out to my players per phase during the first half of the game:

Word Count:
38168 words
227993 characters

I would estimate that tapers off dramatically at the end of the game, so.... multiply by 15 rounds instead of 20
572520 words sent out via PM
3419895 characters sent out via PM

626,623 words, approximately, typed and sent (or copy/pasted and sent) for the game. This doesn't include the following text files:

Round 1
Round 2
.......(etc)
Round 20
rolled battle files per turn
Resident Evil Role PMs
Weapons list
Behavior Modes
Final Setup and role randomization
Invite list for dark falls
Sample Combat 1

I've sent the compiled dialogue to ATPG. He's taken such a liking to dealing with masses of text that he's offered to edit this down. Crazy.

There's over 9000 words of correspondence to look forward to between me and ATPG, and that doesn't even include a few miscellaneous PMs and various MSN conversations. My finest hour was in phase 11, ATPG's can be found in the results writeup to phase 4. Well, those were the 2 biggest highlights for me. I wouldn't expect anybody to read it all, unless you were particularly curious about what I was doing; it might explain why I went lone wolf and ended up taking potshots at folk but that's all. Some very good results PMs from ATPG in there though, I imagine he'll highlight the ones he's most proud of.

Great game, a big thank you to ATPG, biggest hosting effort the Gameroom has seen so far (not that I would challenge anyone to beat it). :bow:
Thanks to everyone for playing, I had fun.

MISSION: -This describes your character and his/her objectives
1. Escape from Dark Falls alive
2. Killing any hostiles will boost your score
ITEMS:
None at present. You will have to search for some.
WEAPONS:
None at present. You will have to search for some.

Orders and results PMs (this is huge):

Phase 1 Orders:
Hi ATPG
I would like to move to W-21.
I will search the area quickly, especially looking for a weapon.
If I am engaged in combat and have not found a weapon, I will run away. If I am armed, I will stand my ground until I lose half my health. I will focus my attacks at the head and torso of my opponent.

RESULTS-

Peter Mueller (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3h4tEqaMT0&feature=related) moves toward the city, looking for a weapon of some kind. He notices that a man is lying stone cold dead in the middle of the street, with his head removed. This person appears to be a member of a SWAT team or something... he's wearing protective gear. Seeing as how he won't need it anymore, perhaps you'll have better luck with it. You notice someone standing not too far away from you to the northeast, and it's Zain. He's within shouting distance if you wanted to make contact. Otherwise, you notice a bunch of small apartments nearby which look abandoned and boarded up... the street is littered with garbage, and it's a mess. Only a few of the street lamps are working properly.
Summary- you see Zain, and you also found protective gear.

Phase 2 Orders:
Hi ATPG
I would like to thoroughly search my current position. Finding a weapon is my primary concern.
Again, if there’s combat, my actions will depend on whether I have found a weapon. If I’m unarmed, set battle mode to run away. If I have found a weapon, stand my ground until I lose half my health, then run. I will focus my attacks at the head and torso of my opponent.

RESULTS-
Peter Mueller (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66-q0B9QcuA&feature=related) decided to rummage around these little apartments on the east side, looking for more useful items. You noticed an iron rod laying inside one of the abandoned buildings, and so you picked it up. Just in time, too... because you heard the sound of a gun click right behind you.
You jumped out of the way as the first shot fired, and it impacted you in your body armor... the blow was glancing, but it still tore into your side and caused a surface wound. You got to your feet just as he readied another shot... hitting you in the shoulder. Another glancing blow... and lucky, with the body armor... or else you might be dead.
You are pretty pissed off right about now, and you smash the bastard in the face with your iron bar, knocking the man silly. You smash him with it again, causing a dislocated jaw. As the man runs off, he readies his weapon to fire again, and you decide now is a great time to scram as well. You both flee from the battle.
Summary- you found an iron rod, which can be very handy as a melee weapon. You sustained 2 points of vitality damage, and inflicted 3 points of vitality damage on your attacker, Zain.

Phase 3 Orders:
Hey ATPG
I would like to move to Z-18.
I would like to adopt a defensive mode.
If there’s combat, I will run away in all instances, unless I can be certain my opponent is an unarmed zombie. I will direct my attacks at the head of this kind of enemy.

RESULTS-
Peter Mueller (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvuJBVMQQkg&feature=related) moved to Z-18 in defensive mode, ready for anything that might attack him. However, nothing came.
You find yourself in the parking lot of an apartment complex. There's no one else in visual range.

Phase 4 Orders: (THIS ONE IS INTERESTING)
Hey,
I would like to thoroughly search my current position.
If there’s combat, I will run away in all instances, unless I can be certain my opponent is an unarmed zombie/non-human. I will direct my attacks at the head of this kind of enemy.

RESULTS-
Craterus- Thorough search current location, run away unless opp is unarmed. (Z18)

Don't forget to click the link....
Peter Mueller (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se9mqGRWjjA) took a closer look at his surroundings. He managed to kick open a window and scramble inside a building. He was just thankful to be somewhere that looked safe, hidden from view... when he noticed that he was in someone's basement apartment.
Apparently, this person was some kind of recluse. The apartment is a gigantic mess... there are pizza boxes everywhere. But besides that, there are jars of urine and toenail clippings, rats, feces, and cockroaches. Stacked high against one wall is a massive pile of newspapers, and scattered throughout the apartment there appears to be radical right-wing literature, mostly regarding the eventual apocalypse and the rise of a new world order. There are instructions on building a bomb shelter, and a detailed manifesto with plans to rule the world by force, taking from those who aren't armed, and annihilating law enforcement, while establishing a racial hierarchy. On the walls, you can see photographs of government officials, with big red X's over their faces, and a list of names next to them.
You see piles of clothing, never washed, and surveillance equipment, apparently live video feeds from cameras surrounding the apartment and the surrounding city blocks, as well as a broken radio transmitter. In the bedroom, you can see that an entire side of the wall was dedicated to holding sniper rifles, bullets, knives, and bombs. But these are all gone.
On a display mantle, underneath a large, Satanic symbol, you see a long metal object covered by a cloth. With some hesitation, you uncover what is hidden.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/Gatling_gun.jpg
Gatling gun
Damage: 2 vitality point per bullet impact.
Speed: 5 bullet per combat round.
Reload: Can fire 100 rounds before reloading (useless during the next 45 minutes)
Opponent gains 2 luck due to inaccuracy.
-2 speed
Please note the weapon reduces your speed, and therefore your movement distance per phase. Your card has been updated to reflect this.
With some surprise, you note that the weapon is fully loaded. I think you found what you came for. Enjoy. :evil:

Phase 5 Orders:
Hey,
I’d like to move to W-16 in the vigilante stance.
Against unarmed non-human enemies (basically, standard unarmed zombies), I will stand my ground and attack with the iron bar, focusing my attacks at the head.
If I encounter a larger non-human enemy (like the tentacle thing or any other nice surprises you’ve got in store for us), I will fight for one round of combat before running away. I will use the gatling gun and focus my fire at the main body mass of the target for maximum accuracy.
If I am attacked by another human (or human-like thing), I will fight for one round before running away. Again, I will attack with the gatling gun and focus my fire at the torso.
Cheers ATPG, hope all this is clear ~:)

RESULTS-
Craterus Z18 (Move to W16, vigilante mode, custom orders)
Peter Mueller (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se9mqGRWjjA) advanced north, checking all around for zombies or other disgusting creatures that need to die in the worst way.
Gatling gun at the ready, Peter proceeds... but nothing comes. You appear to be in an abandoned part of the city. Where is everyone?

Phase 6 Orders:
I would like to thoroughly search my current position. Emphasis is on finding some herbs or other healing items.
If I am engaged in combat, by an unarmed *standard* zombie (not the tentacle thing) or human, I will attack with the iron bar and stand my ground until I am down to my last vitality point (run away once this point has been reached).
If I am attacked by an armed human or highly-dangerous non-human, I will attack with the gatling gun, focusing my fire at the torso of my opponent to maximise accuracy. Again, I will stand my ground until my last vitality point before running away.

Craterus- (w16) Stay and search W16, stand ground until at 1 vp, use healing items at 1vp.

RESULTS-
Peter Mueller (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/286940) searched around the apartment complex, and when he got to the roof, he noticed that there was a man, apparently mauled to death, wielding a sniper rifle. He was wearing a trenchcoat, painted with a big, red pentagram. You also found some of the same sort of literature on his person as you found before in the basement apartment. It appears this radical met his end attempting to kill as many zombies as possible... there are several bodies strewn about with their brains blown apart... clearly in a zombie state before they died. You don't agree with the man's ideals, but you certainly appreciate the weaponry, and the fact that there are fewer zombies roaming around.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/GoldenSniper.jpg
GOLDEN Dragunov Sniper rifle
Damage: 5 vitality point per combat round.
Speed: 1 bullet per combat round.
Reload: Can fire 12 rounds before reloading (useless during the next 15 minutes)
Can hit anything in your awareness radius; is a sniper weapon.

Phase 7 Orders:
I would like to move to U-13 (from W-16) in the vigilante mode. I would like to set up a sniping hideout. I am looking for a top-floor/rooftop position with a good view of the surrounding area. The main priority is covering my back by ensuring my position has only one entry point which will be used as a choke-point if I am forced into close-quarter combat. If both a penthouse and rooftop are available, I’d like to choose the one with the better choke-point, not the better view.
As for the chokepoint, I’d like to use something large to block the door such as a wardrobe or couch. This will prevent me from being sneaked up on, giving time to equip the gatling gun and prepare for combat. So, I’d like to choose a hideout with only one entry point, preferably so narrow that only one man/zombie can fit through at a time. I’d then like to block this entry point with whatever’s available. My obstruction should serve, firstly, as a warning bell to me but also be capable of hopefully holding off any encroaching attackers.
If I am attacked in my hideout, I will stand my ground and attack with the gatling gun, using the chokepoint to force my opponent(s) into an easy firing line while keeping myself (relatively) safe from them. If I’m in such a lengthy battle that I ‘run out’ for this weapon, I will switch to the Dragunov. The hideout is the location for the last stand ~:)
If I am attacked before making it to and constructing my hideout, I will stand my ground against unarmed, *standard* enemies and, if there's one enemy, use the iron bar as my primary weapon. If I'm attacked by a group, let rip with the gatling gun.
If I am attacked (before constructing hideout) by another human or plague demon, I will stand my ground until reaching my last vitality point when I will run away. I will use the gatling gun to fight this opponent and focus my attacks at the torso to maximise accuracy.

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/policestation.jpg
RESULTS-
Peter Mueller (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/286940), you moved into an abandoned residential apartment complex, and executed the following instructions:

You climb to the roof
You have barricaded the door with a couch (you were able to drag that upstairs, but not a wardrobe)
You have set up your sniper weapon, and now you are able to see 1 tile beyond what you can usually see in all directions.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/Awareness7-9.png

You see someone in T15.
You see someone in V11.
You see someone in W13.

Phase 8 Orders:
I wish to fire my sniper rifle at the target located in co-ordinates V-11 .
If there’s combat (someone decides to come into my apartment complex), I will stand my ground, using the chokepoint to keep my enemy at bay. I will fight with the gatling gun as my primary weapon and switch to the Dragunov if I ‘run out’. I will focus my attacks at the torso to maximise accuracy.

Craterus U13 (SNIPER TARGET)
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/policestation.jpg
RESULTS-
Peter Mueller (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71heHLDXmKo&feature=related), you aimed your Golden Dragunov and fired at your target. Unfortunately, you missed. You did notice that the target scampered north, in a sort of... strange fashion. It is now hiding, and you can't see it.
You spot someone else in S12, and someone fleeing north from the church, wounded, in W13.

Phase 9 Orders:
I wish to fire my sniper rifle at the target located in co-ordinates S12 .
If there’s combat (someone decides to come into my apartment complex), I will stand my ground, using the chokepoint to keep my enemy at bay. I will fight with the gatling gun as my primary weapon and switch to the Dragunov if I ‘run out’. I will focus my attacks at the torso to maximise accuracy.

You're still in U13. You fired at your target, and it hit, which would have caused 5 damage; but the shot was deflected by the target's body armor and a healthy dose of luck.
You noticed that your target ends up in W13, the Church.
You also see that your target from last round has ended up in V12; it is Splitpersonality.
You noticed that 3 people moved past you and ended up in S12. You heard gunfire and an explosion in that direction.
Nothing else to report.

Phase 10 Orders:
I wish to fire my sniper rifle at the target (Splitpersonality located in co-ordinates V12 .
If there’s combat (someone decides to come into my apartment complex), I will stand my ground, using the chokepoint to keep my enemy at bay. I will fight with the gatling gun as my primary weapon and switch to the Dragunov if I ‘run out’. I will focus my attacks at the torso to maximise accuracy.
Thanks ATPG.

Craterus- Sniper at Split. Still in U13
RESULTS:
You took aim at Splitpersonality and fired. The bullet impacted him in the back, causing a massive exit wound in his chest. (5 vitality points of damage) Through your scope, you can see that the man is still moving, in fact running as if nothing happened. There doesn't seem to be much blood escaping from the wound.
Something is not right with that one. He moved north, toward the subway station. You might consider chasing down and finishing off that thing you shot.
You notice that someone is moving south, alone, located in W13.

Phase 11 Orders:
I would like to move to R-14 in the vigilante mode. Assuming I am not involved in combat, I would like to find a vantage point and take up a position there, to increase my awareness rating (like I had before with the sniper den but this will only be a temporary home) so there’s no real need to barricade myself in unless it would be easy and immediately convenient to do so.
If I am in combat with an unarmed ‘standard’ zombies, I will stand my ground. Against a single opponent, I will use the iron bar and focus my attacks at the head and torso. Against a group of ‘standard’ zombies, I will stand my ground and fight with the gatling gun, focusing my fire at the torso of my opponents to maximise accuracy.
If I find myself in combat against another human/armed zombie/plague demon/other ‘advanced’ zombies, I will stand my ground and attack with the gatling gun, focusing my fire at the torso again. I will run away if/when I lose a vitality point. Would prefer to run away towards the police station.

Craterus- R14, vigilante mode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0E0ynyIUsg
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/jasper_edmonton.jpg
You move directly adjacent to the subway station, and consider a rooftop position for your attack, when you are attacked by a Plague Demon! The creature must have been hiding, because it took you completely by surprise and got the FIRST STRIKE.

Craterus has 1vp remaining, down 5 rounds.
Amsel has ???vp remaining, down 2 rounds.
Atheotes has ???vp remaining, down 1 rocket.
Renata has ???vp remaining, and is down 2 rounds.

Q13- Amsel, atheotes, Renata, Roadkill
R14- Craterus
R16- ???? (one figure)

Phase 12 Orders:
Move to s-12 in beserker mode.
Run away if there's combat.
Against a single opponent, I will use the iron bar and focus my attacks at the head and torso.
Against a group of ‘standard’ zombies, I will fight with the gatling gun, focusing my fire at the torso of my opponents to maximise accuracy.
If I find myself in combat against another human/armed zombie/plague demon/other ‘advanced’ zombies, I will attack with the gatling gun, focusing my fire at the torso again.

You move to S12, where you're able to spot a battle of epic proportions at the Subway Station from a safe distance.
You see many townies getting slaughtered by Zombies and Omegas and Plague Demons, and even the Plague Queen.
You see a group of mercenaries and a civilian gun down and destroy the zombies and the plague demons, and the Plague Queen is slain in battle. There are only 4 figures left standing... though three of the bodies of the fallen are stirring.
No one attacked you this phase.

Phase 13 Orders:
I would like to move to R-8 from S-12.
I will search the area quickly; looking for some healing equipment.
If I am engaged in combat by single, unarmed enemy, I will stand my ground and use the gatling gun. If I am attacked by a group of unarmed zombies, I will stand my ground for 1 turn of combat before running away. Again, gatling gun is to be used.
If I am engaged in combat with anything stronger, run away.

You move and search, and you locate:
Mossberg 590 (shotgun)
There's no one else around.

Phase 14 Orders:
I would like to move to R-5 from R-8.
I will search the area quickly; looking especially for some healing equipment.
If I am engaged in combat by single, unarmed enemy, I will stand my ground and use the shotgun. If I am attacked by a group of unarmed zombies, I will stand my ground for 1 turn of combat before running away. Gatling gun is weapon of choice.
If I am engaged in combat with anything stronger (armed, human or not), run away.
After the search, I’d like to take up a rooftop position. If I can engineer a chokepoint similar to what I had before, using gurneys/machines/whatever as a barricade on the single entry point to my room, that’d be ideal. So yeah, a room with one (narrow) entry point and a good view of the surrounding area. Cheers ATPG.

There's no one in range of your new position at the rooftop of the Hospital, that you can see.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/hospital.jpg
You have located a Medical Kit inside the hospital, which can heal up to 75% of your total vitality. (total vitality) so it could heal you all the way if you were slightly or half damaged or 3/4 damaged.
Do you need a character card?

Phase 15 Orders:
I would like to use the medical kit ASAP, to heal back to full health. Currently on ¼ vitality, should increase to 4/4 vitality?
I would like to move to O-3 (from R-5) in vigilante mode. When I arrive, I would like to assume a rooftop position, if this is possible, and take a closer look (sniper scope) at the barricaded main gate with a view to a direct frontal assault.
If I am engaged in combat by a small number of ‘standard’, unarmed enemies (1-3), I will stand my ground and use the shotgun. If I am attacked by a larger group of these unarmed enemies (4+), I will stand my ground and use the gatling gun.
Against an armed opponent or group of armed opponents, I will stand my ground and use the gatling gun.
I will aim for the general body (torso level) of enemies to maximise accuracy. If I am attacked to my last vitality point, run away, in all cases.
Thanks.

Craterus- R5 (Use medkit, move to O3, vig mode, use sniper/rooftop to scan O1 barricade)
You use your medkit and ascend the southeast building located in O3.
No one attacks you, and you barricade yourself on the roof as before.
You direct your gaze toward O1 and beyond.... and this is what you see.

What you see is horrifying.
Zombie snipers, zombie dogs, zombie commandos, zombies with machine guns, and zombie soldiers everywhere. There is barbed wire in the street, and spike strips which prevent normal vehicles from leaving. There are sandbags blocking off the far end, and there appears to be machine gun emplacements and makeshift fortifications.
You know that going out that way with anything short of a tank is suicide.

Phase 16 Orders
Hello ATPG.
I would like to move to O-7 (from O-3) in vigilante mode. When I arrive, I would like to assume a rooftop position, preferably secure with only one entry point. No point barricading though, I have no intention of staying here.
If I am engaged in combat by a small number of ‘standard’, unarmed enemies (1-3), I will stand my ground and use the shotgun. If I am attacked by a larger group of these unarmed enemies (4+), I will stand my ground and use the gatling gun.
Against an armed opponent or group of armed opponents, I will stand my ground and use the gatling gun.
I will aim for the general body (torso level) of enemies to maximise accuracy. If I am attacked to my last vitality point, run away, in all cases.
Think that’s all, cheers :bow:

You move to O7, and spot 4 figures in O5. They have spotted you. From this distance, you can tell that they aren't zombies, or haven't fully transformed into zombies, but you aren't sure who they are.
No one attacks you this phase.

Phase 17 Orders:
I would like to move to P-11 (from O-7) in vigilante mode. Again, I’d like to take up a vantage point, preferably secure with only one entry point. No need to barricade myself in though, on the move!
If I am engaged in combat by a small number of ‘standard’, unarmed enemies (1-3), I will stand my ground and use the shotgun. If I am attacked by a larger group of these unarmed enemies (4+), I will stand my ground and use the gatling gun. If I run out of ammo for the gatling gun, shotgun should be equipped. If this needs reloading, switch to Dragunov next. Iron bar last resort.
Against an armed opponent or group of armed opponents, I will stand my ground and use the gatling gun.
I will aim for the general body (torso level) of enemies to maximise accuracy. If I am attacked to my last vitality point, run away, in all cases.

Then Craterus got swarmed and Peter Mueller was no more.

WOW! I really am quite surprised I achieved top individual score in this most excellent game. Well done ATPG, I look forward to the sequel.

I have to admit that I don't feel like I personally played a great game. I wasted a few phases in the police station early trying to coop with people who then disappeared *grumbles*. Also after the first few rounds the Town started dropping like flies and I was nowhere near the action and completely unable to assist. My first stroke of luck was finding my trusty Cold Steel Dragonfly then my second would have to be bumping into Jooray and Greyblades who unwisely openly admitted to being umbrella in pm. My 2 biggest regrets with how the game went for me would be 1) Not being able to stop the SynTech team, I knew what they were up to for ages and even had detailed intel from Csargo telling me where they were and where they were headed. That was actually how I managed to get ahead of them at the Tank Yard. In the end I didn't want to risk the lives of my fellow Townies fighting them. 2) Killing Frozen In Ice, I hated doing this but he kinda forced my hand. Telling me he was going to take the tank regardless as he wanted to escape. I just couldnt risk him turning Omega inside the tank, that happened once before and ended badly for my allies Tibilicus and Rob_the_Celt.

Sorry Tib and sorry Rob, I couldn't save you after all. :(

Now, on a lighter note. I did really enjoy playing this game. My overall favourite moment was probably slaughtering the 6 zombies in the Police Station after they ambushed me, when I first got the result pm I only read the first line before convincing myself I was dead and out of the game. However, by the end of it I was cheering Leons epicness lol.

I would like to apologise to ATPG for my constant pm's asking questions about certain aspects of the game. I'm sure I must of got on his nerves haha.

I also want to thank ATPG for hosting this game and inviting me to play. Without his invite I would never even have heard of Dark Falls. I don't usually visit the Gameroom but It is now my first port of call when logging in.

I also would like to thank ATPG for giving me the fantastic role of Leon Kennedy even if I didn't feel like I was living up to his reputation from the computer games. Hopefully Leon will be back in the sequel and ready to take the fight to SynTech.

The white x represents the square you are in. You are aware of things which happen inside your awareness zone... perhaps not fully, but you have some data.

Zone of control:

T25 Captain Blackadder, Ironside, Psychonaut, Jolt, Merlox, Factionheir, tibilicus, Rob_the_celt
U26 Frozen in Ice

People inside your zone of control are susceptible to being targeted on the next round before they can even move! It costs your own movement to do this, however, and you can only target one player.

For the purposes of "sniper" actions, anyone inside your AWARENESS RADIUS is considered inside your zone of control.

MOVEMENT:

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/Speed3-5.png

The white x represents the square you are in. You may move anywhere inside the green zone, unless that exceeds the playing area.

MISSION: -This describes your character and his/her objectives

1. Obtain the Omega-II sample, and then get to the extraction point.

2. Known Umbrella Operative, The Stranger, has been eliminated by Captain Blackadder and Ironside

Known Umbrella Operative, Joooray, has been eliminated by Wishazu, who you recognize as being Leon S. Kennedy, the "Town Hero".

Known Umbrella Operative, Greyblades, has been eliminated by Csargo, who appears to simply be a townsperson, though you can't really tell.

Known Umbrella Special Forces Agent, FactionHeir, has been slain in battle with Psychonaut and the Zombie Horde.

3. Leon S. Kennedy has been spotted during a battle with Umbrella Agents! He has killed one of them. If Leon knew who you were, you would be a mission target for him to destroy. He was last spotted at the Main Street Subway station, heading east....

ITEMS:

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/450px-Motorola_HT1000.jpg

Two Way Radio (2)

You can give one of these to someone and use it for two-way communications at a distance, if you wished. It might help trick people into thinking you're on their team.

COMLINK- allows you to communicate with others with the comlink. (Psychonaut, Ironside)
UMBRELLA COMLINK- allows you to communicate with whoever else has the Umbrella COMLINK. One of these people is Wishazu, who has also slain an umbrella operative. The third person is dead, slain by Csargo, and now Csargo has the device.

Small hammer

Bauer Memo 5, 6, 8, 9, 10
HANGAR KEY- With this, you can unlock the Hangar in X26.

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/detector.jpg

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/Virussample.jpg

This is a sample of the Omega-II Viral Strain. Get out of Dark Falls by means of the Helicopter hidden inside the Hangar located at X26.

There is a way across the Church Street Bridge, which is out. You'll need a grappling hook, which is located inside the Subway Station.

Only one person can use the grappling hook at a time. In order to get several people across, you will need several grappling hooks. You should be able to locate one every 15 minutes if you keep searching.

I have a few more of these to write before I black out. Sorry I can't go into further detail....

It is possible to escape through the Southern Subway line. You will need a pickaxe. Try to locate a Civil Engineer, I think he has one. There should be another one on the east bank of the Black River, just south of the falls.

The thing is, the Southern Subway tunnel collapsed due to an explosion. There's a gas leak and it will be impossible to breathe the air. There's a breathing apparatus or two, or a few, I don't remember how many, and they are located by the obstruction. But that's as many as you can get out through the Southern Subway line.

Wow, I got three awards just for telling Renata where the exit was. Good job I kept pestering her to give me that radio. :nice:

My only regret is that I died searching for Renata's stash of weapons and equipment in the wrong place (I thought it was in the Subway Station, but it turned out to be in the Tunnel). I didn't trust the 'STARS' guys, but I figured they might keep me alive long enough to make a break for the bridge. Before I could do that, though, I needed to get my hands on a grappling hook, of which I knew Renata and co had left a couple behind. Ah well...

My most memorable moment was unquestionably the part where I soiled my underwear whilst running away from El Gigante. That was also the turning point in my game, since I ran off in exactly the opposite direction to that which I intended, ending up at the Subway Station, and finding myself caught up in events way above my pay grade. Beginning with my first zombie encounter, where I fought alongside Wishazu and the two Umbrella guys (who Wish would subsequently slice and dice), over the following turns I was a witness (and minor contributor) to what would turn out to be some of the defining moments of the game, culminating in the Mother of All Battles, where my luck finally ran out.

Anyhow, I have to say a huge thank you to ATPG for hosting this incredible game. :applause:

Incredibly awesome fantastically well-hosted game ATPG! You outdid yourself on this one. Have to say I wasn't exactly thrilled with my starting situation (bottom left corner against two walls, Plague Demon to my East two tiles away, and no weapons/items to speak of) but someone's gotta get shafted in a game this complex and expansive. That said I'm thrilled to have scored as high as I did and to have won seven (seven!) awards is pretty, uhm, rewarding to say the least (I won the chainsaw award but I wasn't listed on the main reward page a few posts above this one). Now seeing exactly how well Factionheir did as an Umbrella Op, I have to say killing him is definitely my biggest accomplishment. It would have been nice however to go up against the occupants of the Tank like I had been planning. I'm a bit disappointed I couldn't get in position quick enough to get the drop on them - it would have been a nice battle... Anyway, once again this game was very enjoyable to play and if a sequel shows up a few weeks from now ( :wink: ) count me among those signing up. As long as I don't die first again...

For some awards, basically half of the people managed to be awarded the prize. Like the green herb, for example.... if you participated and interacted positively with your team, green herb. But some performed above and beyond. So what I did was I hand picked the very best out of every category, the best of the best, and I offered the main badge to them personally.

You did well aggressively, but didn't manage to attack quite as many people as the others did. Still, enough to earn the points anyway. Same points as them.

I believe if you had been there with White_Eyes' group, the zombies would have won. Leon was down to 1 vp after nearly getting his butt kicked by White_eyes/Yuri and the 2 combat s/he had. White_eyes finally got in a couple of lucky strikes.

And yes, I made it so if you die early, that just means you get a head start on trying to destroy the living over and over again with your constant resurrection and insatiable hunger. As you can see, being an active zombie is a great way to score points. It's like being a serial killer, but with tons of backup.

http://www.quicktopic.com/44/H/TvMFjAfsKkjW Phase 13

Suprisingly us Syntech never set up a qt we talked only in pm messages here are some of the important messages that I have left.

Here is us discussing killing of the townies at the subway station

As in Psycho and one other go back to E5 to get a search there. The other one will go to E3 and search there.
That includes the townies, but we'll be saying that since we're searching for a person, that they'll move in vigilante mode. We'll then get the hangar key and omega, or kill the one(s) who get it instead of us. We're known by khaan to have radio contact, so splitting us up makes a better search since we can be the contact link between the two teams. Three teams for optimal search can be a problem, since if the third team find it, it'll get messy.

Alternative is moving whole group to E3, while one of us move to E5 to help Psycho clear the zombies and protect against a possible other group, since they know your location.

Well, I'm still at E5 and there are two Zombies to kill. I'll probably shotgun them this round, although more bullets may be better, aka Skorpion or FactionHeir's pistols. Hopefully the write-up will do enough to show me attempting to attack FactionHeir, that should clear me.

You should be seen by Blackadder at E5. Another townie, Winston Hughes, was here and saw the zombie horde (we're 8 people here, 6 allied us included). That should give your identity through the writeup. We could push for meeting you. Your publically mentioned hostility to FH should be enough.

Psycho, for a story, you're a STARS but you don't know us, but you found the biolab key early on (by accident? Your choise, it was close to your real starting position) and then you also found the note about the helicopter. Since you were close to the entrance you took that way and expected to run into townies to save on the way back. The funny thing about this partial truth is that it feels a bit improbably lucky. I mean FactionHeir was the first person you actually met. Us mentioning you will probably blow our cover.

Alternativly, you can pretend to be our missing female scientist and hope that none ask ATPG for a closer look on you. That will break after seeing you in combat though, so will probably not work. I specifically didn't name you as our scientist in case you died, as that would've blown our cover.
Hmmm. I don't think it is necessary to say that I found the helicopter memo, only the Biolab key. If it comes up you could tell them about the beacon, and say I was your contact if you needed assistance? Perhaps my cover could be that I am an elite STARS agent and that chasing down FactionHeir was my mission. That I had intercepted some radio messages and was attempting to ambush him at the Biolab. My weaponry should go some way to suggest a more formidable character. It may be best not to bring it up, until they do first.

Elite STARS member is probably best. Since CR is dead, our real equivalent is missing and not impossible for true STARS members to have it (you are also needed to kill serial killers or something). We'll confirm you, but not know you from before.

And I found an alternative exit:

There is a way across the Church Street Bridge, which is out. You'll need a grappling hook, which is located inside the Subway Station.

Only one person can use the grappling hook at a time. In order to get several people across, you will need several grappling hooks. You should be able to locate one every 15 minutes if you keep searching.

I have a few more of these to write before I black out. Sorry I can't go into further detail....

I'll check with APTG for the quickest route. The heli or the bridge.My guess is that the helicopter would be faster, but it is a good back-up option if we need it.

There wasn't much time difference, but bridge is out when we have the sample. Won't pass the quarantine. Our main evacuation might not be the helicopter, since ATPG i very clear that we'll know it when we get the sample, even when I been saying that I know about the key. We'll still keep to the plan though.

Alternative seach pattern. 3 townie groups. E5 (Psycho), E3 and H3 (me and Blackadder). Downside is that we won't meet up and that you'll be an unknown factor for that group Psycho, so they might not be as informative as you can hope. Pro is that key and omega will be found on turn "2" and we'll know for certain who has it. Threaten or attack on turn "3" to get what we need. That will give everyone back at the Subway station on turn "3". Us 3 in berserk will kill about anything in one round so.

One reason why I prefer threaten, 8 killed townies is mean... And while it's a set back for them to lose the hangar key, they got an alternative now. Wasn't the only one who found that note. Still we'll see what's needed.

I suspect that we''ll end up with H3 uncovered (3 squares out of the biolab's 18), a small risk, but existing.

Captain Blackadder, are you active?

Awesome game Pizza :2thumbsup: to have carried out such an effort with so much quality - hats off to you :bow:. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
My role pm:

Cindy Bailey- atheotes

Town Defender

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/Milla2.jpg

Strength: 4
Combat: 4 +1
Vitality: 4 +1
Speed: 4
Stealth: 4
Awareness: 4
Luck: 4 +1

You have 28 allocatable points to spend on your character. If you do not distribute these points, they will be arranged in the default fashion: 4 in each category, as you see here. You add 1 point to your luck, combat, and vitality stats as well, which helps. You cannot move those extra points around.

You also have an additional ability: You can "DEFEND" as an action. Any attacks directed toward the people in your group you're defending, except for sniper bullets (which you couldn't detect), will be directed toward you instead. Anyone on the same grid coordinate is protected by you.

Back story:

You are Cindy Bailey, a woman who once served in the United States Army. You want to help people, and now is your chance. Your objective is to get yourself and your fellow townspeople out of Dark Falls alive.

Your personal survival is your objective, but this is a team game. The more townies survive, the better your overall score. However, your personal score drops when you die.

Your best bet after that, if you become a zombie, is to go for a zombie victory and hope for the best. You have the ability to defend anyone who shares your grid location, because you have the necessary skills and reflexes.

Completing your mission:

You're not done until you personally escape from town. Take note that the town is surrounded by a massive stone wall with barbed wire on top of it, mountains to the north, a river to the south, and minefields, zombies, and rabid dogs.

There are only a few viable paths out of town, and they are hidden. The information to find those paths is scattered around town... contacting your fellow townspeople, working together, is the best way to gain enough knowledge to escape. There are locked doors, barricades in your way, and you'll need a certain key if you wish to escape the main way. There's also plenty of zombies, serial killers, plague demons, and murderous agents around town.

Goals:

1. Get out alive.

2. Destroy as many hostile forces as possible. Each hostile counts as a goal.

Hostiles include:

A) Las Plagas Creatures
B) Umbrella agents and mercenaries
C) SynTech agents and mercenaries
D) Serial Killers
E) El Gigante
F) Zombies

Saving yourself is more important than hunting down the enemy. But rest assured, the more hostile forces you destroy, the more townspeople will escape from this crazy mess, and the better your personal score at the end.

Scoring:

Based on Host's appraisal of how many of your goals are completed
and how much effort you put into it.

Decisive victory
Overwhelming victory
Major victory
Minor victory
Marginal victory
Draw
Marginal defeat
Minor defeat
Major defeat
Overwhelming defeat
Decisive defeat

Special Abilities:

You have the additional ability to "DEFEND" anyone who is standing in the same grid square as you, unless you tell me specifically that you do not wish to do so. This ability is automatic, and you do not need to do anything in order for it to take effect.

You do need to tell me, every single round, if you wish to not use this ability.

Why would you wish not to use it? Because if someone tries to use a "sniper" action against the person you're defending, it will hit you instead. Otherwise, there are no real negatives when using this ability.

You stop defending people when you run from battle. So if they stand their ground, the protection is no longer in effect. However, it is still in effect during that first round, or during first strikes, as you haven't run from battle yet. So you can run from battle and still be useful as a defender.

You automatically start protecting again in the next action phase.

Allies:

You have no allies at the start of the game. :embarassed:

Technically, all the townsfolk in the game are your allies, but you don't know which of them have been compromised by the Omega virus, and some of them are hostile to other townsfolk. In order to truly ally with them, you have to engage in "cooperation" mode and have them do the same, while standing next to each other.

Please remember not to contact anyone during the game unless they are standing next to you on the map, adjacent to you on the map, or you both have a two-way communications device. You're not telepathic, and this hindrance to your efforts is part of the balance and fairness of the game. Please keep it in mind.

Further information:

I will soon be sending out your character card, which will give your location, current status, and any weapons or items you start with, as well as other pertinent details. The character card will be updated to reflect the events of every round of play. However your role PM can and should be saved and used as a reference about your character and your mission.

You see no one within range.

No one automatically starts off detecting weapons, so none appear on your awareness range presently.

Here's a map for your convenience:

AWARENESS:

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/Awareness1-3.png

You see no one within range.

The white x represents the square you are in. You are aware of things which happen inside your awareness zone... perhaps not fully, but you have some data.

Zone of control:

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/ZoneOfControl.png

Nothing inside your Zone of control.

People inside your zone of control are susceptible to being targeted on the next round before they can even move! It costs your own movement to do this, however, and you can only target one player.

For the purposes of "sniper" actions, anyone inside your AWARENESS RADIUS is considered inside your zone of control.

MOVEMENT:

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/Speed3-5.png

Your movement is presently limited. You cannot move into the river or into the mountains, or past the solid walls which constitutes the barrier surrounding the town. Your options for where to move are limited to the playing area squares. There is a way inside the research lab, but you can't scale the large circular wall surrounding it.

The white x represents the square you are in. You may move anywhere inside the green zone, unless that exceeds the playing area.

MISSION: -This describes your character and his/her objectives

1. Escape from Dark Falls alive
2. Killing any hostiles will boost your score

ITEMS:

None at present. You will have to search for some.

WEAPONS:

None at present. You will have to search for some.

Any questions? PM me.

As you can see, being Town Defender did give me additional 3 points but i also directed a few attacks my way by defending my official and unofficial allies. But i was not strong enough to stay back and help more people.

Although pretty late, I also wanted to thank Atpg for this amazing game, I had a blast. Thank you so very much for your effort. :bow:

I'm very happy to have made it out of the town after all and I thank my sisters for the fun time I had as my second character. Also thank you Wishazu for rescuing us. (Although, I'm also sad we weren't able to prove that we were capable on our own. :wink: )

Anyway, I'm a bit disappointed at how my run as Umbrella merc went. First we were hit hard with replacements for members of our team, making us look for cover in a townie group. But then Grey kinda freaks and tells Wish about us being Umbrella mercs. I was a bit mad when that got me killed, I must say.
But as I said, the second role made up for it. Especially because it looked like I was going to die instantly as poor Ashley was almost out of vit. (Good thing I met the other angels :wink: )

Even poor Cent couldn't keep up with White_Eyes.

Basically, White_Eyes could have done what Yaseikhaan did faster than he did, and zoomed across the map and looked for escape routes or items to assist in his escape, and then got the heck out of dodge before anyone knew what hit them. Unfortunately he didn't get lucky, either by finding escape routes, or by avoiding the virus.

I believe that if White_Eyes hadn't succumbed to the virus, he would have escaped a few rounds ago.

Btw, just for fun ATPG what would've been my and Wiz stats if we would've been turned into plague tyrants?

Not entirely impossible scenarios, since Wiz best shot at killing us would've probably put him in our position for the subway battle. That or one hell of an ambush at turn 14 or 15. Possible if you knew the coordinates for the chopper and that we had 3 speed, since then there was only one route that was shortest. Had our movement planned and kept the same from turn 10 due to this.

Yes, and I was unfortunately so swamped with hundreds of PMs in my inbox that I often couldn't respond quickly to each of them. Sometimes I felt like one man in a sea of telephones, all ringing.... ringing.... ringing......

Btw, just for fun ATPG what would've been my and Wiz stats if we would've been turned into plague tyrants?

Oh jeez, uh....

the general rule is whatever your maximum stat was, gets bumped up to 13, and then your other stats increase by one until you get to 49 total points. For you it wouldn't have been so impressive. If you had two stats that were the highest, or three, then whichever one would get bumped up would depend on if any other person got transformed and had 13 points in that category. You would become a different kind of Tyrant, unless there was no way to avoid it.

I forget if I intended Wishazu to be able to turn or not, but I believe he was able to. If so, his stats would already have been at 49, and I probably would have made him have 9 in all categories, for 63 total points, but no super stat.

If Diana's team survived that big battle and kept on hunting, eventually she would have had half a dozen tyrants, and her team would have been able to wipe out the entire zombie horde and most of the town as well. They were well on their way to a total victory, only to be cut short right at the start of their meteoric rise to power.

I see what you mean, I would be almost unkillable but very weak in melee. It would be something like this.

Strength: 3
Combat: 13
Vitality: 9 (+1 due to yellow herb)
Speed: 5
Stealth: 2
Awareness: 9
Luck: 9

Wizhasu's average non-reduced damage of 13.85/round would be reduced to 1.02/round (high luck and only 20% chance of hitting does that).
But he would still kill me on average since I'm doing such low damage (it should be 1 damage/attack correct?). +1 in strength and I would easily win.

Ah that makes sense.

It's been so long, and I had so many files for this game... I had to make tweaks to the game at the last minute and didn't prepare for every eventuality. It's amazing I was able to accomplish much of anything correctly. Boy did I make tons of mistakes that needed to be corrected over the course of the game though. People moved to the wrong places, people moved too far, some people didn't get their cards updated correctly... what a mess.

I highly recommend this sort of game hosting duty for the criminally insane, or the obsessively fanatical. Those are the only people with the proper brain chemistry to handle this.

Hey everybody, sorry for being a total a-hole and leaving the game with no notice. I got sent overseas to attend a foreign exchange student program in France, and had to leave right away. I had no computer nothing, so I wasnt even able to get on the site.

Once again sorry, but how did it end? I'm guessing the plagas won? I did get the groom :)
Btw, I scored 67 000 points. But cheers to a good game pizzaguy

Hey! Welcome back Roadkill!

Are you going to be back for reals now? Would you actually be able to join games and stuff?

Phase One Map (after the move)

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/england/Map_1.jpg

Round One highlights:

SynTech team:

Crazed Rabbit heads north, from the southernmost portion of the map.
Psychonaut searches the area near him and doesn't move much.
Captain Blackadder goes to the army base and searches around for some weapons. He bumps into Sigurd, Taka, CDF, and MRD. Sigurd detects him as a S.T.A.R.S. agent. If he were able to continue scanning Blackadder, he would have identified him correctly as a SynTech Asset Recovery Service member. Lucky for Blackadder he decides to move out of there instead of sticking around.
Ironside ends up in the Tank yard.

Umbrella Team:

FactionHeir, the Umbrella Assassin, immediately goes after a nearby townsperson, Amsel. For the next several phases FactionHeir relentlessly chases him down, determined to kill him with his starting weapon. Amsel, to his credit, has set orders to run from battle, since he's unarmed right now and not ready to battle to the death. it is these orders which keep him alive.
Tratorix is inactive, replaced by Greyblades.
Zain moves and bumps into Craterus, over by the west bank of the river, south.
Joooray is near the ball park and just searches.

Serial Killers:

Khazaar- Moves to the Police Station, and ends up attracting the Zombie horde.
Captain C- Doesn't move, searches.
Scottishranger- Moves to the top of the building in R10, in assassination mode.

Plagas Team:

Diana Abnoba begins near the falls on the east bank of the river, and heads south. She meets up with Pranas and Leet Eriksson, the latter turns out to be totally inactive. Pranas is a town doctor... here she had the opportunity to convince a town doctor to keep her healed throughout the whole game, but after negotiating a quick alliance, she decided to move on with her mission, while Pranas waited around for Leet Eriksson to move. They split up and never met each other again.
Meanwhile, YLC heads southeast from the northwest corner of the map. His course is heading towards O-1, the Main gate.
Seon heads for the Hangar, which he finds quite locked.
Roadkill immediately chases down Backwards Logic, eventually killing him.

Townspeople:

Wishazu (Leon Scott Kennedy) moved closer to the Police Station.
WilliamWallace (Town Merc) didn't move.
Tristan de Castelreng (Town Merc) crosses the bridge, heading toward the Army Base.
Frozen in Ice (Town Merc) chases down Beskar, who ends up in the Water Treatment Plant.

Beefy187 chases down and tries to form an alliance with King Jan III Sobieski, who never shows up after signing up to the game. (grumble) Poor Beefy ends up isolated because he doesn't have anyone else around at this point but an inactive player he wants to ally with. Amsel of course has his run-in with FactionHeir, and Backwards Logic is being chased by Roadkill. Most people search or attempt to move around a bit. There were plenty of people inactive or needing replacement this early. I replaced some and wogged others.

At this point there are 4 botanists, 4 doctors, 3 detectives, 3 town defenders, 3 town mercenaries, and a town hero, Leon S. Kennedy. I figure that should be enough to get some teamwork going, and be enough to counter the massive threats to the town.

However, King Jan (Town Defender) is inactive and gets replaced. Karo and rhawn (Town Detectives) both end up going inactive or needing replacement. Ephrum (Town Doctor) goes inactive. Thermal Mercury (Town Doctor) ends up wandering around the northeast part of the map, which keeps him safe but doesn't help many others. Pinman (Town Botanist) went inactive. WilliamWallace (Town Mercenary) goes inactive quickly and gets wogged. Tristan de Castelreng ends up in the southeast portion of the map where he gets ambushed a couple times and goes inactive, then dies. Then there are a half-dozen other regular townsfolk who end up going inactive. Such a shame, really. Fortunately I anticipated such problems and that's why there are multiple redundant pro-town power roles and why there were so many basic townies running around. Surely even after the inevitable horde of inactive townsfolk, there would be enough of the town remaining to fight the good fight.

Zombie Horde:

Moves to the center of the map, roaming randomly around the most sensitive and crucial areas. The idea is that the zombies are trying to defend the Subway Station on Main Street, as well as the City Hall and the Police Station, which are the main targets for the townsfolk to get to.

Richard Bauer (El Gigante) Ends up chasing down the largest group of people. Right now, that's the group centered in the Army Base, as you can see. We can't have a large townie group roaming around Dark Falls unopposed. They might hurt themselves... :evilgrin:

Deaths this round:

None.

Phase One Write-up:

The Metal Crate: Refers to El Gigante being placed in the center of town, and the clues that Richard Bauer wrote being scattered everywhere by the wind.

The man and the metal box: Refers to Amsel locating a gun but being attacked by FactionHeir, then running away.

The group of people: Refers to the 6 or more people located in a cluster over by the Army base.

The Plague Demons: One of them was chasing down Backwards Logic, but they were all searching for the groom.

At this point I didn't want to reveal anyone's name or even a description of their character, and that led to a rather bland and uninteresting write-up. From here on, I tried to think of ways to make it more interesting.

Host Commentary:

Nothing much to say, but let me go over why I set the game board up the way I did:

Most of the action in the game will revolve around main street, and specifically, the main street subway station and the bridge connecting the two sections of the playing area.

Because the rare items and weapons in the Bio-lab can be a game-changer, the Bio-lab is locked off and the entrance is located farthest from every character except for the serial killers, El Gigante, and the zombies. The center of the game board is the most important. All the players went around the sides except for the lowly serial killers, who needed all the help they could get.

The Plague queen starts off separated from her group, and farthest away from the Groom as possible, but they are in contact with each other, like mafia.
The Umbrella group starts off scattered, but they are in contact with each other, like mafia.
The SynTech group starts off scattered, but they are in contact with each other, like mafia.
The zombies move randomly, El Gigante chases down the largest cluster of townies.
The town power roles start off scattered.
The other locations of all the other townies are randomized. So in case you're wondering Backwards Logic, the evil random gods placed you next to a Plague demon.

EVERYONE starts off at least two tiles away from every other person. That way you cannot be identified right away, and you cannot be killed immediately.
EVERYONE is able to run in the opposite direction from EVERY threat. If you didn't move far enough away, that's bad luck.
EVERYONE is within a reasonable distance from RARE ITEMS
EVERYONE is within a reasonable distance from allies or townies. No one is placed in an unwinnable position.

All the powerful roles have to work hard to find each other. Basic townies had no problems finding each other.
I continued replacing the inactives for as long as I could, with every replacement player I could find.

The game-winning locations were:

1. The southern bridge (out)
You needed a grappling hook to cross.

2. The eastern wall (minefield)
You needed a metal detector to exit... and avoid the mines.

3. The Subway station at the center of town (collapsed)
You needed a pickaxe and the three gas masks located in the southern subway line. Most people chose not to explore the southern subway line, but headed north to the bio-lab.

4. Dark Falls (mine entrance walled off)
You could escape with dynamite.

5. The Arklay Tunnel (collapsed)
You could escape with a pickaxe.

6. The Helicopter (locked)
You needed the hangar key from the bio-lab, holds only 4 people.

7. The Main gate (guarded by zombie commandos)
You needed the Tank to escape this way, which required the Tank Key, which was found in the Clock Tower, which required the Clock Tower Key, which was found in City Hall, which required strength or explosives to open.

Starting items:

The Plagas team starts with nothing.
The Umbrella team starts with basic handguns.
The Syntech team starts with basic handguns.
The Serial Killers start with deadlier weapons.
Leon and townie mercs start with weapons.
Basic townies usually did not start with weapons.
Some townies started with a knife or really bad handgun.

Phase Two Map (after the move)

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/RE2/Map_2.jpg

Round Two highlights:

SynTech team:

Crazed Rabbit heads north, bumps into Backwards Logic and A1_Unit. This was Backwards Logic's best chance for escape from the Plague Demon creature.
Psychonaut creeps west and searches again.
Captain Blackadder searches around the army base, where the El Gigante arrives! Fortunately he is out of range.
Ironside meets up with Captain Blackadder. The SynTech team now has two people moving together. This is a great advantage. They moved directly to each other immediately.... almost got caught by Sigurd though.

Umbrella Team:

FactionHeir continues hunting down Amsel, relentlessly.
Greyblades runs into Ephrum, who soon goes inactive.
Zain fights Craterus, and we have more epic player-on-player battles!
Joooray ends up near the hospital, and meets Stildawn.

Serial Killers:

Khazaar- Ends up being attacked at the Police Station by zombies!
Captain C- Chases down and tries to attack Thermal Mercury, who survives and runs away!
Scottishranger- Ends up near the police station and watches Khazaar finish off some zombies.

Plagas Team:

Diana Abnoba ends up waiting around and cooperating with the Doctor, Pranas. But Leet Eriksson is inactive, and she doesn't want to wait around for him.
Meanwhile, YLC ends up on the same tile as Rhawn and Centurion1. However, he's not in an aggressive mode and ignores them. They sneak away... CLOSE CALL, GUYS!!!
Seon ends up next to Yaseikhaan..... mmmm.... fresh prey.
Roadkill puts in orders to engage Backwards Logic. Oh dear! He attacks BL who runs and runs away.

Townspeople:

Wishazu (Leon Scott Kennedy) attempts to enter into the police station, but it is locked. He's gotta try breaking in using his strength.
WilliamWallace (Town Merc) moves east, bumps into Backwards Logic, who just escaped from Roadkill the plague demon. Maybe now they can triumph?
Tristan de Castelreng (Town Merc) moves to the tank yard, near Yaseikhaan and Seon. Good thing Seon is in stealth mode!
Frozen in Ice (Town Merc) allies with Beskar, Jolt, finds Rob_the_Celt.

Beefy187 stands around waiting for King Jan to wake up.... poor fella. I eventually replace King Jan with TheFlax, who proves much more lively.

Diamondeye has decided that even though he is a townie, he wants to stalk and kill CCRunner. How nice of him. :tongue2:

Zombie Horde:

Ends up bumping into Khazaar and they get hacked apart by his Pickaxe. (Yes, this pickaxe was eventually used by Renata, Amsel, and atheotes to ESCAPE FROM DARK FALLS.... I gave him the pickaxe as a weapon for a reason.)

Richard Bauer (El Gigante) Ends up very close to the people in the Army Base, but not close enough for EPIC PWNAGE.

Deaths this round:

None.

Phase Two Write-up:

He ran as fast as he could and attempted to hide in a shopping mall. Heart is pounding, gripping his weapon tightly, he hoped he wasn't spotted. He moved past the shattered glass window and dashed down the aisles of a supermarket. He ducked into the cooler where all the milk had been spilled and spoiled. The stench was overpowering, but he figured that might actually keep his attacker away and mask his own perspiration, just in case this thing isn't human.

But he was followed... relentlessly... by his attacker. Who are they? Why are they trying to kill him so ruthlessly? The dark figure entered the market, checking left and right with her weapon held high. It was that woman again... The man's hands shake as he attempted to aim at her. He tried to remain hidden, maybe she would go away... but it was not to be. She fired blindly into the cooler with her Custom Blacktail, hitting one of the gallon milk jugs, splattering sour milk and blood everywhere. He looked at his arm, and there was a bullet wound. The next bullet went streaking towards his head....

He didn't remember exactly how he made it out of there, but he clutched his bleeding head and arm, trying to stop the blood loss. He scampered away as fast as he could, hoping she wouldn't follow him again. Somehow, he didn't think this was over in the slightest....

This was Amsel being attacked by FactionHeir, and running away. He took some damage from the bullet wound, but survived and escaped.

She moved toward the tower, searching for things. She tried to get inside, but it is extremely well-barricaded. From above, there was the sound of a boot scraping against concrete... she looked up just in time to see a boot kicking her in the face. She's knocked to the ground, only to be met by a dark figure slashing at her throat with a knife. She tried to block the blow, but she was struck in the arm. She rolled out of the way, and tried to flee, but she was stabbed in the back...

She never got a good look at her attacker, but she ran as far away from the battle as she could, clutching her wounded arm.

This was CCRunner being attacked by Diamondeye. He managed to escape, but he took some damage, I think. Those knives aren't useless in close-quarters combat, you know.

She knew it was approaching her for the last few minutes, but she couldn't outrun it. The thing was massive, and moving rather swiftly, despite all appearances. The creature stood at least 7 feet tall and was massively powerful. It had several different heads, each one oozing with slime and pus, writhing in agony. She was filled with an overwhelming sense of panic. Its numerous tentacles reached out for her... trying desperately to strangle her, and whip her... the tentacles were covered in a strange yellow substance which stung quite horribly upon contact. She did her best to dodge the slimy things, and she was doing quite well when suddenly, one of them whipped her in the face. She was stunned at first, but she slipped underneath the thing's legs and ran as fast as she could. By the time she got to where she was going, her entire face went numb and she could hardly see. She was in rough shape, but she had outrun the creature, and it was no longer within visual range.

Backwards Logic being engaged by the Borg the Plague Demon, Roadkill.

It was all quiet on the street. The building stood tall, with many dozens of boarded up windows. There, a man was searching for something. It seems as though he's found it.

But then the glass shattered behind him... out of nowhere, a horde of infected people began swarming into the building, gasping, crawling, and reaching for the man... drooling all over the office floor, whispering something about devouring his flesh. The man would simply not go down like that, and he swung his pickaxe, impaling the first creature through the skull, getting it caught in the dying corpse. Another one grabbed him from behind, and was about to bite him through the neck... it looked like this was the end. But he shrugged his shoulder and squirmed out of the grip of the creature... he kicked the first zombie and withdrew his pickaxe, and swung it as hard as he could....

Khazaar gets in some badassery of his own, killing Zombies with his pickaxe of destiny.

He attempted to cross the bridge and make friends with whoever he found. He looked around, but saw only the cold emptiness of the night. Then he noticed someone approaching, so he waved a friendly "hello", only to feel the cold steel of a wakizashi blade slashing his chest open. He dodged the next swing, and reached for an item he had been carrying with him... a manhole cover. He blocked another blow, and smashed his attacker in the face with it, knocking him down. The attacker slashed wildly at him, and there was nothing he could do but attempt to get the heck out of there! He ran as fast as his legs could carry him....

Captain C (Fang) chases down Thermal Mercury (town doctor), who manages to defend himself with a manhole cover he found, then escapes. Not bad!

He watched the man rummaging around, looking for more useful items. He raised his Beretta and fired. The other man jumped out of the way as the first shot fired, and it impacted him in his body armor... the blow was glancing, but it still tore into his side and caused a surface wound. He got to his feet just as the other man readied another shot... hitting him in the shoulder. Another glancing blow... He retaliated by smashing his attacker in the face with your iron bar, knocking him silly. He smashed the man with it again, causing a dislocated jaw. They both have had enough of this fight, and with bloody wounds and busted bones, they scamper off in different directions.

Craterus battles Zain, but they both choose to run away. Good moves.

Host Commentary:

The action is starting to heat up. Some people have been attacked twice already, but everyone is still alive, except for the NPC zombies. I designed the game such that if you ran away, you probably would survive, unless the first hit was fatal.

Poor Amsel and Backwards Logic are getting the brunt of it, but townie power roles like doctors and defenders are being attacked, and some townies are trying to kill each other.

Some alliances are formed, and people are generally just searching and sharing information. A lot of people are in stealth mode still, as it hasn't been universally decided that stealth mode sucks yet. Soon people realize they need to search, however, so that's risky. Risk not, gain not.

Phase Three Map (after the move)

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/RE2/Map_3.jpg

Round Three highlights:

SynTech team:

Crazed Rabbit is at the hospital, and bumps into Factionheir and Amsel and Stuck in Pi.
Psychonaut searches thoroughly, locating the Bio-Lab Gate Key in the cemetery this round. This gives the SynTech team an extreme advantage in reaching the Bio-lab first.
Captain Blackadder and Ironside head west, reaching the Black River bridge this phase. Blackadder searches, Ironside is in vigilante mode.

Umbrella Team:

FactionHeir continues hunting down Amsel, but now he bumps into the CIA agent Crazed Rabbit, leading the two mafia team Assassins to an early conflict. One of the two will succeed in their mission to assassinate the other....
Greyblades follows Ephrum to the Clock Tower, and is attacked by zombies!
Zain bumps into the town doctor, Paulus Tertius. However, they don't seem to reveal to each other who they are, and that is a shame for Zain. A missed opportunity to have a doctor healing the entire Umbrella team.... if they could have negotiated an alliance, and gotten all the Umbrella folks together, it would have been a huge advantage.
Joooray and Stildawn move together, Joooray searches just out of range of the Hospital and the Police Station.

Serial Killers:

Khazaar- ends up in N15, right next to the other serial killer, Scottishranger! They are both in stealth mode!
Captain C- Attacks Paulus Tertius, nearly killing the town doctor!
Scottishranger- Ends up in N14, right next to the other serial killer, Khazaar! They are both in stealth mode! A missed opportunity for some epic carnage....

Plagas Team:

Diana Abnoba begins her long journey across the map, moving south to the Army base. She's still in the grassy area.
Meanwhile, YLC ends up next to Stildawn, who is in stealth mode. Another close call!
Seon hides inside a tank and waits for his prey..... Yaseikhaan's search leads him to the tank, and he is nearly killed by the surprise attack! Some lucky combat rolls later, and Khaan barely escapes!
Roadkill chases down and finally kills Backwards Logic, causing BL to exit the world of the living, the first victim of the game. Backwards Logic, we hardly knew ye. But we will get to know ye as a zombie very soon.... William Wallace is also attacked, and runs away.

Townspeople:

Wishazu (Leon Scott Kennedy) attempted to form an alliance with the others near the police station, but they all moved away... :cry:
WilliamWallace (Town Merc) follows Backwards Logic and runs from the Roadkill/Backwards Logic battle after trying to shoot the creature.
Tristan de Castelreng (Town Merc) stays put in the Tank yard in Stealth mode.
Frozen in Ice (Town Merc) moves north with his allies, to X21. There's nothing much around, and right about here they got split up (iirc). They didn't seem to trust Rob_the_Celt, so I think they ditched him on purpose.

Beefy187 allies with TheFlax, who joins the game and replaces King Jan III Sobieski.

Amsel finally breaks free of FactionHeir, who finds better prey to hunt.

CCRunner continues trying to break free of Diamondeye.

Confederate Jeb meets up with Csargo and they travel together.

In the far southwest, Elite Ferret meets up with Splitpersonality and Sprig, (bb8) and they form an allied group of townies. Shame two of them went inactive, they could have accomplished great things together.

Karo the detective goes inactive.

Major Robert Dump voluntarily chooses to join the Zombie horde as an OMEGA TRANSFORMATION, when random.org chose him as the very first to be struck by the Omega virus' effects. Someone for Backwards Logic to talk to....

Renata finds a Chainsaw!

Yaseikhaan finds the Golden Lugers!

Taka finds the Golden Herb!

Double A finds the RCP90!

Zombie Horde:

Centurion1 and Rhawn spot the zombie horde 1 tile south of them. They run from battle. Backwards logic will spawn in the cemetery, and Major Robert Dump joins the horde as an Omega. They are now in communication.

Richard Bauer (El Gigante) attacks Taka, Double A, and others at the Army base. Finally, some epic carnage!

Deaths this round:

Backwards Logic (Annette Burnside, town awareness) is slain by Roadkill (Plague Demon- Panico)

Phase Three Write-up:

Mister Harris was checking inside the parking lot for items, and came upon a shiny metal box. How nice! He may have pressed his luck, however.... while searching, he opened up the door of a vehicle and sneaked inside. He was very surprised when the door slammed shut behind him, latching itself. He heard a terrible, low grumbling noise.

In the shadows, he could spot the creature. And he was trapped inside the vehicle with it! In desperation, he slammed the creature in the face with his fist, and it didn't even flinch. Now's around the time where Harris would be running, so he threw himself at the door to try to open it. It's STUCK!!! Harris was trapped inside the vehicle! The Plague Demon slashed at Harris with its powerful claws, and Harris did all he could to dodge and roll out of the way, but there was only so much space. Harris knew he needed to escape, so he tried to force the door open again, and failed. He was struck in the back, his flesh cleaved apart like butter. In desperation, Harris rammed his head against the door, and it miraculously popped right open. He tried to get out of there, but just when he was almost free, he felt the deadly grip of the creature around his ankle, pulling him back inside... slowly overpowering Mr. Harris. He was trapped in the grip of FEAR.

He knew that if he were pulled back inside, he would be finished. He struggled with all his might, and failed to break free... he saw the stars slipping away... to be replaced with the cold black interior of the vehicle, soon to be his coffin. With his grip starting to give on the outside of the vehicle, Harris summoned up his last gasp of fight left in him and kicked the creature as hard as he could in the eyes, temporarily stunning the thing. The grip weakened just enough to allow Harris to break free.

Harris, surviving only because of Luck alone, ran out of there as fast as his legs could carry him, still bleeding from the gaping wound in his back.

This was Yaseikhaan finding the Golden Lugers, then searching a tank and being attacked by the hidden Plague Demon, Seon (Miedo). Yaseikhaan barely survives, because he's a lucky, lucky man.

Annette was still being pursued by her attacker. This time she came prepared, armed with a rifle. She steeled herself as the madman came after her. Like a crazed assassin, the maniac ran towards her, seemingly unconcerned that she held a rifle in her hands. No longer willing to wait, she closed her eyes and pulled the trigger...

The weapon double-fired, and missed the attacker completely. The maniac rolled on the ground toward her, and kicked her hard in the shins while readying the knife. Annette tried to point the weapon down at him, but he gripped the end of the rifle and pointed it away, twisting himself into position to strike her with the knife. She jumped out of the way of the blow and kicked him. He just got up and started swinging. Annette decided that she'd had enough of this guy, and tried to simply run out of there. He swung at her as she fled, but he just missed her and tripped as she was getting away. When he looked up she was half a block away. He just grinned murderously and prepared his next move.

This was Diamondeye attacking CCRunner again. Somehow, Diamondeye is able to continue winning the battles (lucky dice rolls? better combat? no idea) and CCRunner's rifle even fired twice, which should have killed Diamondeye if only it had hit the insane man. The evil dice strike again!

Arnold noticed some commotion earlier, but didn't think much of it. As he moved, he was caught unprepared by a sudden attack from the shadows. A murderous assassin wielding a wakizashi sword struck quick, and struck hard. Before he could even react, there were two large slices across his chest, cleaving him down to the bone. Arnold began gushing blood, and doubled over in pain. The blade barely missed his head and he clutched himself in agony, and then he stepped back, just out of range of the weapon.

His attacker stumbled for a second, giving Arnold the chance to escape, and he took it. He ran off as fast as he could, never turning back to see if this killer was still following him. If he didn't get medical attention soon, he was certain he would die. He never even got a good look at the man. He was very, very lucky to be alive at all.

Paulus Tertius (Arnold, Town Doctor) is attacked by Captain C (Fang, serial killer) and is nearly slain on the spot. He just barely escapes and runs off to heal himself.

If Captain C had followed up on this, he would have gotten a kill for sure. A missed opportunity.....

Marcus knew she was still following him. But this time he was ready. When she appeared and opened fire, he ducked into a drainage ditch and returned fire. She hid behind a vehicle and continued shooting. He was firing back at her with his Broken Butterfly, and kept missing. She shot at him with her Custom Beretta, hitting him several times. The wounds were pretty severe, and Marcus simply couldn't continue... he ducked behind the building and ran as fast as he could. She checked herself for wounds... nothing serious. By now, Marcus was leaving a bloody trail that would be very easy to follow. She ducked back into the shadows.

Amsel's last gasp, the final fight with Factionheir. This time, he's got a freaking MAGNUM, the Broken Butterfly. Yeah, he found it and now he's going to use it. If he had hit Factionheir, he might have been able to personally defeat one of the deadliest humans in the game. But the dice gods did not favor him this day. He runs away, still bleeding and wounded.... but FactionHeir spots Crazed Rabbit, and Amsel just barely escapes an early death.

WOOOOT!!! GO AMSEL!!!

They went looking for weapons, but found trouble instead. A horde of infected human beings came out from behind the building, without any warning, and they attacked! Vance tried to fight them off, while Amelia panicked and hid behind him. The zombies grasped at them, groaning and drooling, and bared their teeth... Vance fired his weapon just as he was being bitten, and ended up shooting at the ground instead. Another one grabbed Amelia from behind... things weren't looking good at all. Vance bashed one of them with his weapon, and pulled the other one off of Amelia, and they both ran for their lives.

Centurion1 and Rhawn face off against some zombies, and unfortunately don't cause much damage. But they do manage to escape.

Things just kept getting worse and worse for Ms. Burnside. She had been attacked by the tentacled creature before, ran off, and managed to locate a friend. She was already wounded from the previous encounter, but still managed to keep up. Now, they spotted the fiend chasing them down... and this time there would be no escape.

Ms. Burnside pleaded for her life, asking her new friend to help her. They fought the creature together, but in one terrifying blow, Annette was struck in the face with a whipping, paralytic tentacle. As she started to pass out, she was struck in the chest, and she felt her heart stop. She never recovered, and lay there motionless while Dave started to PANIC. He aimed at the creature and prepared to fire, when he too was struck by one of the vicious tentacles.

As he felt the terrible pain and then the numbness in his wound, he knew he had to get out of there, and doubted very much that his weapons would do much of anything to the creature. He ran away like he was covered in boiling acid, screaming in pain and terror.

Backwards Logic (Annette Burnside) is finally slain by the relentless Roadkill.

The people of Dark Falls were just doing what they could to survive. They heard the rumbling footsteps approaching, but were totally unprepared for what happened next. The entire side of the nearby building gave way, and the massive creature emerged from the rubble of concrete and steel. It was the vicious, terrifying EL GIGANTE!!!

The creature picked up a large piece of twisted steel and concrete and heaved it into the center of the crowd. Then he swung his huge fists and pummeled the ground with his massive feet, knocking people to and fro, nearly flattening one of them underfoot. Several people returned fire, but nothing was stopping this creature.Several rifle rounds were fired at El Gigante, but missed. Some handgun bullets and shotgun blasts as well.

They scattered in all directions, which confused the creature. It could not choose which one of them to chase down. He watched them flee, drool eking out from his open jaw, splattering onto the bloody concrete below him. From his massive height, he could see for some distance... he spotted another jolly gathering of humans, and bared its disgusting teeth with a sick, twisted grin, and began to stomp off in that direction.

The building nearby collapsed. El Gigante had run straight through it like it was nothing. All that stands there now is a pile of rubble. Elsewhere, broken bones and bloodied wounds needed mending, and pain was felt by many. Would this only be the first of many such attacks?

El Gigante causes some epic carnage at the Army Base. Finally, people have reason to fear the big guy. He causes some damage, but luckily for everyone, they had set their orders to flee from battle. Only this order prevents people from being crushed underfoot already.... close call.....

Everything was going wrong for him. He wasn't feeling very well, and he knew that it was the beginning of the end. He started choking, coughing up blood, as he felt his body ache and itch and swell. The virus began to take hold of him, and he blacked out, falling to the ground with a sickening thud. When he woke up, he was no longer the man that people once knew. He was a twisted, psychotic creature, the end product of a viral agent designed to turn people into biological weapons. The Omega-II virus had contaminated everything in Dark Falls, and only now were people beginning to feel its terrible effects.

When people are facing death, the virus begins to re-animate the tissue, changing dead bodies into zombies. However, the virus affects the living even more powerfully... unless fought off by the body's immune system, the virus will transform living people into powerful super-human creatures known as Omega Transformations. With everyone in Dark Falls contaminated by this viral agent, they needed to be decontaminated and treated as soon as possible. If they failed to escape from Dark Falls in a timely fashion, they would become a permanent resident....

Soon, others would start to change. There was no stopping it.

Major Robert Dump decides to go Omega. I warn everyone in the game that this is possible.... adding even more chaos to this bubbling cauldron of evil.

Host Commentary:

Roadkill scores the first kill of the game, after not a small amount of trying. Congratulations!

Amsel manages to escape from the clutches of the murderous FactionHeir, which is impressive. I am certain that he must have been relieved. If those fights had kept up, he would surely have died. Now, to heal his wounds....

Inactivity is starting to hurt, but the town has plenty of people. I get GeneralHankerchief to replace Major Darling, so there is actually an active Groom. I was hoping Major Darling would join the gameroom with a bang, but he went out with not even a whimper.

The SynTech team is doing very well. They are working together, and finding necessary items, and proceeding with their mission in professional fashion. Crazed Rabbit even locates his assassination target. So far, so good.

The Umbrella team is not far behind. They had a chance to work with a doctor here, and were in the process of meeting each other. FactionHeir bumps into Crazed Rabbit, and has his one shot at taking down Alfred Branagh, who is a total badass. Unfortunately, all these two titans have are basic handguns. Factionheir manages to locate some dynamite and some nails, which comes in handy. Good thing he decided to use them as a weapon.

The Plagas team is making good progress meeting up. YLC is moving south to where Roadkill is, and Diana is moving south to where Seon is. Then they will meet at the hospital.

The Serial Killers are struggling to make any kills. They also have all abandoned the idea of trying to blend into a group of townies and kill them when it is opportune.... instead they wail away with their starting weapons and make no allies. This was their main strategic mistake.

The zombie horde is finally under the command of some humans. Perhaps now the zombie horde will be something to fear....

I am impressed by the behavior of the players. They are searching, hiding, fighting, making allies, and generally moving around the map in a logical fashion. I especially like the communication and team effort expressed by the folks over at the Army Base, who share tons of information and even make plans to search the base in a systematic format, then meet up again. Very nicely done, guys!

Several players are damaged this phase. The action just gets bloodier and bloodier from here.

In general, lots of people are finding useful weapons, and items. Some are even finding awesome, rare weapons and items. Good.... the search aspect of the game was not ignored at all, really.

If you'll note from the map above, you'll see a large gathering at the hospital, the army base, the tank yard, and near the clock tower and cemetery. People are clustering together, which means El Gigante will have more than one target to chase a round from now. There are multiple opportunities for alliances, but many people are in stealth mode.

For the writeup, I drop the total anonymity of things, because it is much more interesting and more emotionally involved if you actually know something about the people being attacked. You can even piece together bits of evidence and possibly convince people you are certain characters in the writeup. At least the writeup quality gets better from here... :evilgrin:

There's one more, now onto four.

Paulus Tertius (Arnold, Town Doctor) is attacked by Captain C (Fang, serial killer) and is nearly slain on the spot. He just barely escapes and runs off to heal himself.

If Captain C had followed up on this, he would have gotten a kill for sure. A missed opportunity.....

Well I made the mistake of engaging him because he was next to me rather than pursuing him in stealth assassin mode. By engaging him he survived and moved away while I was left in the starting square and that put enough distance between us that I couldn't find him.

You got it the other way, ATPG. It was me and RbC who didn't trust Frozen in Ice as he had said he was a mercenary. So we fled from him.

Yes, but I said I was a good mercenary sent in by the president! :cry2:

Whoops! Some things I don't remember very well because I wasn't told the motivations.... I just remember this group was split up, and that was a shame. But, hearing what you say, understandable.

Sorry for delay regarding more commentary. Will try to get it all done.

My time is strained by my temporary job, plus I am not sure how many people are still interested in hearing more.

If you are still interested, I still have my files for this game, and I can continue to recount events; updates will not be daily however, because I am dead tired after my 10 hour shifts.

I would still love to get the recap on the whole game!
