Resident Evil: Discussion Thread [Concluded]

[Splitpersonality]

Since this is Resident Evil do we have to be standing still to use any melee weapons or guns we may have?

Since this is resident evil do we have to have clunky controls and a poor camera?

[Thermal]

OK from now on I'll just post meaningless banter in both threads

No changes there, then

[Wishazu]

ATPG, have you received everyone`s orders/stats yet? If not give us a list of the lazy buggers and we`ll sort em out

If your one of the one`s we`re waiting for, move it!

[Jolt]

See now that's just the sort of thing I have so say no about. Frowny face.

This is borderline... I don't want anyone to make such announcements about their potential strategy or meeting places or anything of the sort, and certainly not imply that they aren't a mercenary (as that helps narrow down who is who...) or that you're seeking alliances. This isn't an egregious error or anything, but be wary of the line.

I think I'm okay with people saying things like "wouldn't it be nice to have a tank and blast some zombies?" but I am hoping this isn't code or a loophole for "meet me at the tanks". Careful careful.

I'm willing to cooperate with Mercenaries, regular citizens, Zombies, Nemesis', Weapons, Las Plagas and any other type of friendly creature I come across.

I don't know, I'm still waiting on the aliens.

Either that or for ATPG to come down himself as Leon and bail us all out. :D

[CCRunner]

I'd like to be a replacement player please :)

[Askthepizzaguy]

They do have until Tuesday at midnight EST to send in orders. I am getting some of the stragglers telling me I should have their orders ASAP.

That's good. This first round was going to be a giant mess no matter what... right after thanksgiving, and a brand new game with lots of players and confusing rules. It's actually gone much better than I feared.

Just play Assassin's Creed II through the end.

I think he would be more like This guy...after all the writing and math he well need to do

[Sprig]

Awesome.

I just want to make sure I have got this all down.


First part of the Orders phase is the movement sub-phase.

In this part, players may choose to move to a new location within there movement range or they may perform a ‘movement’ action.
Commands for this sub-phase are ‘Move to XYZ’, Engage Target, Snipe, Search Thoroughly & Stealth

*Some of these action have prerequisites such as holding a long range weapon or a target being in you zone of control.

Second part of the Orders phase is the action sub-phase.

IF you decide to move to another location you must choose an action to perform at the new location.
Commands for this phase are: Berserker, Assassinate, Vigilante, Stealth Vigilante, Defensive, Stealth, Search quickly & Cooperate.

*The above actions are not available if you have chosen one of the following moment commands: Engage Target, Snipe, Search Thoroughly & Stealth.

Third part of the Orders phase is the Battle Mode sub-phase.

This phase decides your actions if you are engaged in a battle after the movement phase. The two available commands are: Run Away & Stand Ground.
____________________________________

I do have some questions that lead from this.

What happens when two people decide to use the ‘Engage target’ movement command against each other? Will they each perform one round of combat or fight to the death or perhaps will this be decided by what they have decided by their battle mode setting?

I am guessing it is possible to do hit and runs. Aka go into berserker mode hit everybody with a first strike and set battle mode to run away so that you run away when you are counter attacked (if the target has ‘Stand Ground’ mode set)

What happens if two people move to the same square with Berserker mode set? Is it the detail of the orders that decides who hit’s who, dice or what the battle mode is set to?

How does group combat differ? What happens if I am in a group of 5 allies and we all arrive at the same square with vigilante mode set and there are a 2 zombies or non-humans present? Could our combined first strikes take them out?

What happens if it doesn’t and we all have our battle mode set to hold ground? Who attacks what? Do two allies fight against the two zombies while the other 3 twiddle their thumbs? Or will it be 5 attacks on one zombie then 5 on the next?


Sorry for all the questions

This is correct. You have some moves you can do in place of movement (Engage target, Snipe) or you can do while moving or not moving (Stealth, cooperation, Search... the usual suspects)

Second part of the Orders phase is the action sub-phase.

IF you decide to move to another location you must choose an action to perform at the new location.

Well you can quick search, which is smiliar, and you can stealth in either one. It's complicated, but you got the gist of what my ideas were. I wish I were better at explaining them ...

Third part of the Orders phase is the Battle Mode sub-phase.

This phase decides your actions if you are engaged in a battle after the movement phase. The two available commands are: Run Away & Stand Ground.

Yes. You tell me if and when you run away, or I assume that you do run away immediately. Otherwise you could find yourself dead due to misspeaking. Standing your ground is if you really think you can win a battle, or if you have a bunch of your buddies who can also fight well standing ground with you. Running away can scatter your party if you have one, but it beats death.

I do have some questions that lead from this.

What happens when two people decide to use the ‘Engage target’ movement command against each other? Will they each perform one round of combat or fight to the death or perhaps will this be decided by what they have decided by their battle mode setting?

If they engage target at each other, they will definitely battle, and they will run if and when one of them says so.

I am guessing it is possible to do hit and runs. Aka go into berserker mode hit everybody with a first strike and set battle mode to run away so that you run away when you are counter attacked (if the target has ‘Stand Ground’ mode set)

Exactly. Hit and run could be very useful.

What happens if two people move to the same square with Berserker mode set? Is it the detail of the orders that decides who hit’s who, dice or what the battle mode is set to?

In case of no first strike being gained, neither has the first strike and they simply battle each other simultaneously.

How does group combat differ? What happens if I am in a group of 5 allies and we all arrive at the same square with vigilante mode set and there are a 2 zombies or non-humans present? Could our combined first strikes take them out?

It is possible!

What happens if it doesn’t and we all have our battle mode set to hold ground? Who attacks what? Do two allies fight against the two zombies while the other 3 twiddle their thumbs? Or will it be 5 attacks on one zombie then 5 on the next?

Every person on each team scores a strike against every person on the other.

1 versus 3 means the one guy attacks three different people. The three all attack the one person. So there's 3 hits on one side, 3 hits on the other side, but the team side is hit once per person and the loner gets hit 3 times.

If the one loner really kicks butt at combat, it's possible for him or her to annihilate the other 3.

However, the one guy will probably take damage due to the number of hits he takes.

You can die quick in this game if you get attacked by a horde of stuff.

Sorry for all the questions

I prefer the questions answered, than anyone feeling lost or confused. I want you to be confident and enthusiastic in what you do.

Your enjoyment and the fairness of the game are my top priorities.

[Stildawn]

Good questions... Im awaiting the reply. Should be interesting.+

Bah ninjed.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I have 42 orders so far, and some of the missing people have shown up!

This is excellent progress. Keep it up... You have slightly over 24 more hours. I'll accept orders while I am doing the writeup, but I absolutely must keep the game moving.

[RoadKill]

You a God, Pizza. I remember when I had to write 30+ write ups for battle royale... Sends shivers down my spine. Guys who have hosted games like these know the pain, keep up your hard work Pizza, I know how time consuming and crazy this is.

[Diamondeye]

This smiley. Please keep it out of my writeup, even if it's hard :p

[Sprig]

What have you got against thumbs?

[naut]

What have you got against thumbs?

He must be a zombie, they've rotted off.

[CCRunner]

If we're making demands about smilies, I want a turtle (see below) to make it in! Or turtles, your choice. They're made of awesome and puppies!

[Diana Abnoba]

He must be a zombie, they've rotted off.

Yes, brings back painful memories of the times he had thumbs.

[Seon]

Get me a list of people playing this game that are still juniors and I'll see what I can do.

Yaaaay.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Status of the game-

Still need character stats from:

Tratorix
tibilicus
Pinman- inactive
Warluster- inactive
Rob_the_celt- inactive
Confederate jeb- inactive

Players remaining to send in their actions for phase one:

atheotes
Centurion1
Confederate Jeb
Crazed Rabbit
Karo
King Jan III Sobieski
Leet Eriksson
Major Robert Dump
Major Darling
Paulus Tertius
Pinman
Rob_the_Celt
tibilicus
Tratorix
Warluster

If any of you did send in stats or actions, I apologize but could you please re-send? I already double checked my inbox and my message archive and I didn't find them.

Reminder: Round ends in less than 11 hours, at midnight tonight. I will continue to accept your orders tomorrow while I am doing the writeup phase, but they are considered late. Absolute deadline is midnight tomorrow, because I intend to have the writeup and the action reports done by midnight tomorrow. If you were to interact with other players or battle or whatever, it could affect other player's action reports, so every late order delays the reports for several people, which therefore delays the game for everyone.

[Zain]

It's always like this man, you will always have inactives. It's inevitable.

I hope none of them were important roles though. If so, a friend of mine can be a replacement.

The number of actually inactive is surprisingly low. It's just that some of our actives haven't gotten around to their orders yet I suppose.

But if your friend is willing to be a replacement player, by all means... I need more just in case. A few of our alternates are pretty busy IRL.

[Major Robert Dump]

Hey now, u gave us until midnight on Tuesday, I'm not inactive. You want them sooner then push the deadline up :)

I`ve just reminded Tibilicus on Xbox live so hopefully he`ll sort his stuff out soon.

[Double A]

Rob isn't active on TWC, but Jeb is. Try him. I gotta do homework soon.

[CCRunner]

I believe this is everyone.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Amsel
Backwards Logic

Pinman . . . . . . . . . . . For some reason, I'm not surprised I know all of these guys from CFC
Seon
Stuck in Pi
CCRunner

These guys I'm not 100% sure of, but I couldn't find a post by them to link to their profile so I figured it was a safe bet to say they're junior members.

Rob_the_Celt
Major Darling
Confederate Jeb
