August 2010


Mere months after the viral outbreak in Dark Falls, in the nearby town of Southgate, Montana

There is a wave of missing persons reports

Prisoners at the maximum security prison are reported missing, presumably they escaped

Patients at the home for the mentally ill are also reported missing

Soon, terminally ill patients at the hospital begin to vanish, and their bodies are never found

Then, from the streets of Southgate, many ordinary citizens begin to disappear

No one is safe. Even the police report that some of their own have gone missing



September 2010


The tide of missing persons reports begins to ebb

The crimes were never solved, however

Later on, health inspectors shut down the water treatment facility due to code violations

Water is pumped in from elsewhere to compensate

Then.....

People begin to get really sick.



October 2010

The entire town of Southgate, Montana is quarantined by the Federal Government.

An outbreak of the Omega virus has rendered the city uninhabitable

The President of the United States is forced to make the call

The entire town of Southgate, Montana must be sterilized.

Only nuclear weapons are known to be effective in completely wiping out the virus

But Congress is still divided. The Hawk Party of the United States

Although normally quite willing to take drastic measures

Opposes the current President and seeks to regain control of the Presidency in 2012

They declare the current President to be soft on global terrorism

Yet too willing to use nuclear arms on his own citizens

The current President gives an address and states that in an emergency such as this

He has the authority to unilaterally make this decision

But that he does not want to proceed without first consulting Congress

Putting the question back to them, and forcing a partisan debate

Meanwhile, the people of Southgate are suffering and dying

And when they die, their bodies do not remain still

Within a week, the bodies begin to rise

Soon, the living who have shown no signs of illness suddenly turn

And the infected begin to attack and consume whatever is in their path

The chaos is unimaginable, and no one is allowed to evacuate

Martial law is declared, and rioting in the streets reaches a fevered pitch

Days later.... the riots end

As the voices of the uninfected slowly are silenced

And replaced with moaning

And gnashing

And chomping

But not all of the citizens of Southgate were affected.

A few dozen people wake up scattered throughout the town

With no memory of the events of the past two months

And find that they are unaffected by the virus, they appear to be immune

They find that escape from Southgate is quite impossible

It is as though someone erected a massive, invisible force field around the city

Which they cannot penetrate

If they try to leave, their bodies become weak, and they lose all muscle control, and cannot breathe

Something is preventing them from leaving.

Or Someone.

It's obvious that the Umbrella corporation was involved somehow, but

Southgate Montana is actually home to one of the largest SynTech Systems research facilities in the United States

And they have been known to operate with the same reckless disregard for human life as Umbrella.

There are definitely other players involved,

but it isn't immediately clear how they are involved.

But one thing is clear:

The survivors of Southgate must free themselves and escape the city

Before they are all consumed by the zombie horde.

-Type of Game-

This will be another Resident Evil-themed "Battle Royale"-style game in the same vein as my Dark Falls game.
Which, admittedly, was a long time ago by now...


-Release Date-

Fall/Winter 2013

Approximately end of October


-Number of Players-

I would like to get 50 players. Please.

In order to ensure a minimum of drop-outs, replacements, and maximum participation,

I will be sending out invites for this game and reserving space for players who have not dropped out of my games

Or otherwise failed to participate in the past. As such, space will be limited, and entry into the game not guaranteed.

After I have achieved the necessary numbers, players may serve as reservists.

That's right, this game is an INVITATIONAL game. Let me tell you why, and how it works.

I will not open "sign-ups" for this game until an announced date.

Sign-ups will remain open until they are full, first come, first served.

Put simply, I will invite people to the game and if they accept, they're on the VIP list

The list of players will primarily be populated this way.

When I reach 50 players on the VIP list, I will send each VIP a message letting them know when the sign-up sheet will be open.

Then, on that date, I will open sign-ups, for a limited time.

Any VIP who agreed to reserve a space is guaranteed entry into the game.

However, if the VIP does not show up and claim their reserved spot before the deadline,

The slot will be granted to anyone who is enthusiastic about playing the game and chose to sign up.

That way, if you are interested but were not personally invited, you still have a chance to join.

You are also allowed to tell me that you wish to be invited. PM me.

This is necessary because last game, several spots went vacant.

I want experienced, loyal, dedicated players if I am going to put myself through the hell of hosting this game for you

I will therefore be inviting long-time players who have never let me down before, and do that first

This is your reward for being excellent players

If you are not formally invited to be a VIP do not take it personally

I need 50 players, not more than that

If you wish to be formally invited, send me a PM.




-------


Askthepizzaguy is the primary host and architect of the game.

Chaotix has agreed to co-host, but in case one of us is incapacitated...

GeneralHankerchief is the backup co-host.

That way this game will be completed even if Askthepizzaguy is mortal.

-Setting-

Southgate, Montana. A city which is located near Dark Falls, Montana.

The events of this game take place months after the events of Dark Falls.

-Factions-

Town
Umbrella
SynTech
Zombie Horde
Serial Killer
Unknown Faction 1
Unknown Faction 2

-Game Play-

Still putting the finishing touches on the design.

Put simply, there is a cycle of turns.

Movement round- you tell me how fast you wish to move, and where, and you tell me what to do when you get there

Interactive round- you've arrived at your location. Hide, search, attack, ambush, barricade yourself in a building, etc.

Then, the cycle starts over again.

Your mission as a Survivor is to complete mission objectives and then leave Southgate alive.

You will collect items, unlock buildings, encounter enemies, and solve the mystery of Southgate

You or your fellow survivors are very likely to die before you complete your mission

And if you die, you become part of the zombie horde...
