Resident Evil: Discussion Thread [Concluded]

[Captain C]

Could you tell us where the way out is?

The only way out is a bullet to the brain.

[Wishazu]

Woot! first orders sent in!

[Seon]

Orders sent. Let's bust some heads.

[Askthepizzaguy]

F.A.Q-

I'm going to do a thorough search of my surroundings, looking for firearms in particular.

I will be in Stealth mode for the duration of the round.

You know, I haven't done a good job explaining the "don't move' orders. I need to address this.

You can thorough search and those are your move orders and your behavior combined, because it's "search plus don't move".



"DON'T MOVE" ORDERS-

ENGAGE TARGET: uses movement points to prevent someone in your zone of control (your square and the 8 surrounding you) from performing their movement out of your range without at least one round of combat. Only works on one target in your zone of control. This is a manual command. It will not function without your explicit orders, and it also doesn't work against those who were engaged in combat with you in the previous round and chose to flee. This happens instead of movement orders.

This one can function with stealth mode or without.

SNIPER RIFLE: You may fire your long-range weapon once at anyone in your awareness radius. This counts as your move for the round. It's kind of like Engage Target, except with your sniper.

This one, on further review, functions with the handicap of stealth mode anyway, because you lose a first strike if someone comes up behind you while you're sniping someone. So you're automatically in stealth mode while sniping, from now on. Which is good because game just started.

SEARCH THOROUGHLY: Executes the search command. This is a manual command. It will not function without your explicit orders. This kind of search attempts to locate anything inside your zone of control (9 squares) and is more effective than the usual search command. This counts as your move for the round.

This one cannot function in stealth mode because you're looking for things. That means you have to come out in the open and rummage through stuff... not viable to be also hidden.

STEALTH MODE: Hides in this location. This is a manual command. It will not function without your explicit orders. This is your move for the round. For if you wish to be in stealth mode and just not move.

You may also trade items and weapons and whatnot, whether you move or not, as long as you're in adjacent squares. That doesn't count as a move or a mode or any of that. You can also "Don't Move" and combine it with Berserk, Assassinate, Vigilante, Stealth Vigilante, Cooperate, and so forth. You simply can't combine stealth and search. As always, you're in Run Away mode unless you specify and tell me how long you wish to Stand Your Ground.

[Frozen In Ice]

Just sent in my orders as well. Lets get this show on the road!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Hi ATPG, I have prepared my first move etc. for you.

1. I would like to move to co-ordinate (censored).

2. I am in (censored) mode.

3. If I am engaged in combat with Zombies, aim for the censored target with my (censored weapon). If attacked by anyone else... (censored- more battle strategy)

If that happens I will run away, in the direction of the censored if possible.

This is an excellent example of orders. Well done!

In case anyone is confused, they can look like this. I've also gotten some very detailed orders, and that's also quite fine and encouraged! As long as I have the minimum info, I'm good. More is better but not required and may not be all that possible without a weapon anyway. 95% of you are sending in orders exactly how they are supposed to be. You guys rock. Others, are answering my questions promptly, and sending in orders exactly right afterward, or just clarifying something I didn't understand. You guys rock.

The rest simply haven't sent in orders yet. I am also missing character stats from a minority of the players, but it is a small enough minority that it doesn't damage the game. It will stink if they don't send in their stats and participate, but I anticipated problems like this. Fortunately it isn't too bad yet.

[A1_Unit]

Alright, my orders are sent.

[Sprig]

Is there any particular way you would like us to format the title of our Action/Order PM’s? I ask this if all the Pm’s are titled correctly, it may help for inbox/action organisation.

[Askthepizzaguy]

"Orders, phase: _____"

Works fine.

[Zain]

How many times can a zombie be killed? I remember something about zombies dying and respawning somewhere and I'm hoping that is not the case.

Zombies have 3 spawns. So you kill a player once, they turn into a zombie. They can die twice after that. On the third death, they are dead for good.

It's virtually impossible to destroy the zombie horde, but you can certainly weaken it.

Ah, I see. That's not as bad as unlimited lives. Thank you for the quick response.

[Double A]

Does the plague demon(s) have extra spawns?

[Askthepizzaguy]

The Plague Demons can die only once...

[Zain]

The Plague Demons can die only once...

There's more than one, time to lock and load

[Double A]

The Plague Demons can die only once...

How many tank shells can they take?

[Ephrum]

I assume that is something we will have to find out.

[Death is yonder]

I wonder why is there a cemetery on the map...

Maybe zombies respawn there! *gasp*

[Double A]

Anyone have access to the Stealth Bomber Fleet? Tell them to bring firebombs.

[Zain]

We can spawn kill!

Or be eaten...

[Double A]

Well then we can spawn kill the people that get eaten. It's the perfect plan!

[Stildawn]

We cant get to the Military base can we? Isnt that where we have to eventually get in order to win the game?

[Death is yonder]

I think we're suppose to escape the city and/or kill as many enemies as possible.

[Captain C]

We cant get to the Military base can we? Isnt that where we have to eventually get in order to win the game?

No, the bridge to the military base is standing, so I would assume you could get there.

[naut]

How many tank shells can they take?

I wanna tank. Perty prease! Although, bit of a slow moving death-trap if you ask me. Noisy too, just asking for trouble.

[Double A]

What if it was a Scorpion? I killed 28 zombies who had plasma pistols with one of them once.

[Askthepizzaguy]

We cant get to the Military base can we? Isnt that where we have to eventually get in order to win the game?

You can easily get to the base.

I think we're suppose to escape the city and/or kill as many enemies as possible.

Yes.

Yes.

I dunno, when zombies are around I like having armor and a tank gun.

[Stildawn]

Doesnt your initial write up say that the goverment has set up a base for people to escape to? And the town people are told that they must make their own way there?

Lol if its not the base.... Then where lol.

Escaping from the town, you'll be able to move to the west and there's Route 3 in that direction, where everyone is told to escape to. Any way you escape from town, you basically accomplish that.

The abandoned military base isn't the rally point.

[Sigurd]

This "not sending in orders" might be a problem in every round.

Maybe a default order should be set up that would be executed if players have not sent in orders on time.
That might involve:

• dropping a random item
• run away to a random location if attacked
• do nothing but sit on the ground sulking if not attacked.
