Resident Evil: Discussion Thread [Concluded]

[seireikhaan]

I think 2 days should be plenty of time. This game will take forever if we go much longer.

[Askthepizzaguy]

As it stands I have like 10 orders in. That's to be expected for the first day.

However, I'd hate to have to proceed with 30 orders, that's basically game-breaking. I won't do that, as El Gigante will simply roam around the city pounding stationary clusters of people, while the zombies and murderers who get their orders in have a field day.

I'd have to extend the phase if I only get half orders. But if I can get 50 orders (that's 1/6th of the player roster inactive which is still TERRIBLE) then I shall proceed.

[Renata]

Oh, I'll definitely send mine within the 48.

[Askthepizzaguy]

According to my records, at least one of you picked up a Black Herb during one of these rounds.

However, I did not mark it down properly.

Please contact me PRIVATELY (and be honest) and claim that you found the Black Herb, so I can make a note of it.

[Double A]

I found one dozen black herbs, and a tank that can fly.

You just forgot to record it.

[Joooray]

So am I right in believing we have until Sunday night to send in orders? I always get confused with the way you set the deadline.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Should be due in 7 hours... but I don't have nearly enough orders in. So yes, let's give it until Sunday night and see how things are then.

Hurry people!

Yeah, because I'm certainly never late with my things....

[Centurion1]

pizza why dont you start with orders you have and do like searches and stuff. nothing that can be affected by other players who need to send in orders, but you can get a least some work done. and like get the barebones of the character cards up and then just likeadd stat numbers and new items.

[Double A]

But what if another player attacks the person with their orders already in?

I appreciate the thought, but I can't really touch the cards until I know where people are. That affects both the drops and the awareness. Everything, basically.

It's also a mess to start and stop a card and then I can't even send it. Sorry.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Do you have to be in the same tile as someone else to pass an item to them, or will adjacent tiles do?

Adjacent tiles will do.

[Stildawn]

Whats the deadline?

Thanks

[Askthepizzaguy]

It is 5AM now... aiming to end this phase by midnight tonight. 19 hours or so. Not nearly enough orders.

[Major Robert Dump]

This is a post to see what time it is, because i am confused


ok now i see what time it is. While I think peole are definitely taking advantage of the hosts hospitality, such hospitality is certainly warranted in a game with as many players and alliances as this one.

I havent said it yet, but thanks for all the work ATPG

[Askthepizzaguy]

Even past the deadline, I see orders are continuing to come in. Which is fine, even encouraged, as the game is ruined without any orders. But late isn't good.

I'll keep you guys posted on my progress, so you don't have to ask how it is coming. But I have to get to work on the stuff for Phase 6. There will be some sort of light penalty for late orders from here on out... not enough to really be a punishment but more of an incentive to do your talking and get the orders in quickly. If your orders come in past the deadline, you will not be able to use stealth mode, from the time of this post until the game ends. This means you're more likely to be picked off by snipers, serial killers, zombies, or even el gigante. You now should have enough incentive to get orders in ASAP. And I also don't accept late orders once I start doing character cards.

By the way, you can send in orders and change them later! There really is no reason not to send in orders if you're here on the .org and you have a few moments!

That said, I'd better get a move on before I get rightly accused of taking too long to do hosting stuff.

I will now double check my inbox both here at the org and my email archives for your orders, in case I missed them.

Current Status of the game: I have entered everyone's orders into my sheet, so now I can move everyone on the map. It looks like there won't be too many battles this round besides the massive El Gigante battle, which is good news for me.

Next: Distributing items.

[Greyblades]

Just sent in my orders Pizza.

Current Status of the game:

• I have accepted all your (lengthy) orders and they are now filed.
• I have moved all players who sent me orders.
• I have moved El Gigante.
• I have moved the NPC zombies.
• I have randomized item drops for all those who searched or landed on items.
• I have randomized all events.

Next:

• Rolling battles (Big battle to roll this time...)
• Character cards.

Estimated time left: Will not have all battles rolled before I go to bed. Expect that done by midnight tonight Eastern Time. (It is 2:21AM now) I should have also started on character cards by then. Could take a day or two to do character cards. Late orders will not be accepted very shortly, as I am already at the battle rolling stage.

[Wishazu]

I just wanted to ask if there are any actual zombie players yet?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Anyone listed under "Dead" but not "Wrath of El Gigante" is presently a zombie and still considered an active, viable participant in the game. So, three.

Probably more after this round.

[Renata]

Should be two, not counting the WOGGED. Backwards Logic says hi to you all, by the way. (Nothing spoilerish, he just seems to be enjoying himself.)

[Renata]

BL, CCR, who did I miss?

DUN DUN DUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!

[Askthepizzaguy]

All battles are finally rolled.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

That El Gigante battle was the most ungodly, complicated mess... I ended up using 6 sheets of paper, because the only way I could keep everything straight is by having all 6 pages side-by-side, which is tough to do on the computer screen.

I cannot accept further late orders now.


Current Status of the game:

• I have accepted all your (lengthy) orders and they are now filed.

• I have moved El Gigante.
• I have moved the NPC zombies.

• Battles rolled.

Next:

• Character cards. Going to be a bit late, as usual.

[Centurion1]

you are a god.

[Captain Blackadder]

I can't wait to see the result of the El Gigante battle

[Stildawn]

I just hope it doesnt involve me hehe

[CCRunner]

I can't wait to see the result of the El Gigante battle

The zombies know

[Askthepizzaguy]

Ok, about 13 character cards have been completed. Taking a quick break.

In alphabetical order, I am up to Csargo's card. If you haven't gotten your card yet, it may take longer to do yours than the others, especially if you're getting a zombie character card. Those take longer than the others.
