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.

Indeed, I have it set so that if you do not send in orders, you "defend" and "run away" when attacked and you don't move. The rounds are long enough that there should be no reason why you should miss a round. I'm sure people would prefer defense mode to search mode in this case, that they might stay alive until they get back.

Will all of the future rounds be this long?

No, once everyone has sent in orders, stats, and are acclimated and watching the thread, I'll ramp up the speed to get things moving. No excuses after the first round.

I look forward to it

Am I right in thinking this is point based, i.e: you could still win even if you only last half way, provided you have killed zillions of people in the process?

Like would the end result be blah de blah wins with 900 points

followed by

---- 800
---- 700

etc etc?

By the way, how does one become full member? Having 10 PM spaces is very chilling...

**atheotes** · 11-30-2009, 22:00

PMing one of the moderators should help. IIRC i became a full member 2 days after joining. I am not sure if anything has changed

**Askthepizzaguy** · 11-30-2009, 22:06

I'd like to help that process along a bit. I am wondering who here in this game is still a junior member... I'd want to compile a list and beg beg beg for a favor and get them all promoted to full membership, as new soldiers in the Pizzaguy army, fresh meat for the zombies to eat, plaga fodder, and generally future corpses with a rather dim future as the undead, unless they get extremely lucky.

Well there's a graded system... from Total victory to total defeat, draw in the middle, and overwhelming to partial to minor victories/defeats in the middle regions.

Based on how many of your goals you completed, and how many persons you killed or saved, etc. Since some players have an easier time scoring "points" because they can kill things better, I have the graded system there so that you can still score a total victory even without killing too many people.

If I meet any mercenaries I will gladly help them kill the zombies.

Lets see how that works out for you

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.
