All questions PM'ed to me should have been responded to. If not, smack me upside the head.
You have a day to send me your stats. If there are extenuating circumstances I may be lenient and grant you the right to modify your stats by the end of the first movement phase, but we aren't delaying that phase. You absolutely need those stats in by then, because it affects everything. Your search, your combat, your stealth... I gotta know. Otherwise it's default.
I guess it's possible to move in the subway and elevated railway? And I guess if I decide to move using the elevated railway then the only way to get on it or off of it is using the elevated railway stations?
You can move from subway station to subway station in a certain loop. I'll explain that one publicly.
You can move back and forth between elevated rail stations as well. Correct.

Think of it like a teleportation device from station to station.
If there are zombies at the station, however, you're not safe.

Only the next one in line.
Subway Station at D7 leads to S6
Subway Station at S6 leads to M16
Subway Station at M16 leads to E18
Subway Station at E18 leads to D7 (one way only, Looping counterclockwise direction)
Elevated Rail stations leads to the adjacent station or stations, but the tracks are broken at F3 and U17, so you can't escape the city that way.
They function like the subways, but in both directions instead of one-way
Is Mr Gigante affected by movement styles/points like the rest of us slobs lol? Like if he is heading towards one group, or after he kills one group lol like does he have to run or walk etc to the next? Or is he used solely as a balancing process and simply spawns to his next target??

El Gigante hasspecial movement rules, but he is limited in the distance he can travel in 15 minutes. It's the same as sprinting, but without the negative effects of sprinting.
One notable difference he has that no one else has, is that if he hasn't clobbered someone in the movement phase, he can continue moving in the interactive phase.
That means he will get someone. It also makes him technically twice as fast as everyone else if he hasn't engaged in combat.
You cannot outrun El Gigante. You can only scatter in different directions and hope for the best. He does have a defined location on the map and is limited by that. His movement is also dictated by the players. Your collective actions determine where he moves. I serve as the person who pushes the piece, but this group as a whole is controlling where it lands.
Bunching up when he's not dead is the same as asking him to step on your face.

El Gigante had to be one of the most entertaining/hilarious monsters in "Dark Falls". I see it well be no different here...can he also attack you if your underground?
Host was not expecting to be working back to back 11 hour shifts.
Host was not expecting sales to be 900 dollars more than forecast.
Host is exhausted and now has to drag his butt back to work at the ungodly hour of 2pm. (When you work past 2am, you don't sleep at night, if you're me)
Thanksgiving is here. Therefore, there will be a short, Thanksgiving Day recess, and the game will return the day after Thanksgiving.
Prologue Phase is over, but I'll be kind and allow you to sneak in your stats before the game returns on Friday.

So, what are we waiting on, hostest with the mostest?
Now that you FINALLY have a finished map, complete with information about your key buildings and whatnot, and I have finally gotten the hidden data for the map finished (Such as locations of rare and ultra-rare items, and information about the structural integrity of the buildings on every tile in the game versus zombies, and versus el gigante) that means I can actually proceed with the actual game.
Your stat choices are locked in if you have already sent them.
If you have not, you have until END of MOVEMENT PHASE ONE to send them in.
Next up: The tutorial on how to properly format your orders and send them in each round.
TUTORIAL: HOW TO SEND IN ORDERS FOR MOVEMENT PHASES
Please read this, and ensure your orders are properly formatted. This helps me and my co-hosts out greatly!
I can process improperly formatted orders, but this risks confusion, and delay of the game, as I may have to clarify something with you before continuing.
If all 51 players send in properly formatted orders, that reduces delay of game.
_________________
During a movement phase, you have a limited number of options. You can choose to move, or choose to not move.
You can also freely choose to communicate with people in same/adjacent tiles only, and anyone you have radio contact with or have host permission to contact. All other private or public communication is illegal.

Next, your choices for how to behave.
This is how far you can move, if you choose to walk, run, or sprint:
You cannot move through river tiles (that is to say, crossing through them) you must move around them. If you send an order that is illegal, I'll move you as close to your target location as legally allowed.
Note that your movement can be interrupted by a successful ambush that causes you to flee. Often times, you'll flee in the opposite direction. Maybe you get lucky and flee in the right direction. The trouble is, it's not up to you which way you flee! It is random.
If you move into the zone of control of someone who has prepared an ambush, and they elected to engage you, and you don't spot them, the ambush is successful.
If their ambush fails, you gain the first strike, and if you flee immediately, you'll flee in the correct direction (where you intended to go). If you do not flee immediately, but later flee from battle, it means your opponent gained the upper hand and you lost your chance to move in the correct direction. Your flee direction is randomized.
If you do not flee and your opponent does flee or is defeated by you, you'll move in the right direction.
So those are your options.
Please, format your orders in the following manner:
1) Movement choice: Walk (Combat+1), Run, Sprint, or do not move, to the following location: (Indicate which game tile you're moving to)
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU SPRINT, YOU HAVE NO ACTION CHOICES.
2) Escape choice: Escape from combat immediately, Escape when you take "x" amount of damage, or Fight to the Death!
3) Attack the following targets: (None, Self-defense only, Attack specific player (indicate which player), Attack Zombies only, Attack Non-Humans only, Attack Strangers, Attack All)
4) Action choice: Search [Search Mode], Hide [stealth walk mode], Defense [Combat+1, Defense mode]
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU SPRINT, YOU HAVE NO ACTION CHOICES.
5) Specific additional instructions, such as your preferred weapon: (Up to you, I may or may not accept these customized instructions, they may or may not be legal)

4) Defense Mode (Combat +1)
5) Use my Red9 until I run out of bullets, switch to my shotgun after, flee if I run out of ammo.

5) Use my Axe to cut everyone to pieces, bwahahaha.

3) Attack no one
4) Not applicable, I'm sprinting
5) Use my First Aid kit if I drop below 3 vitality
Okay? Did you see what specific instructions you can put for number 5? You can tell me what weapon to use, when, against what enemy, what items to use, under what circumstances, etc.
You can even send me detailed combat instructions:

Also, please send all orders to the following Account: Resident Evil

Anyone you have not met previously.
So, if you have bumped into someone, and they weren't hostile to you, they're automatically excluded from the list of strangers. Of course, unless you specify, if they were hostile to you, they're still not a stranger anymore. So you'd have to specifically name them as a target, if so.

Back in a couple hours. I know there are a number of questions in the quicktopics I have to get to. That's next.
