grab you a fireaxe out of a nearby firehouse, and pick up th axe proficincy skills. Max at 40% chanc to hit, but it's better to do that to gt your arly XP.

Also, I suggest you get Shopping and Bargin Hunting skills if you want to go ammo based. Find a nearby mall with thos skills, and loot th gunstore till your hearts content.

Yeah, I started fireman so I got a free ax and ax proficency. Of course, I didn't really realize how much that'll screw me over when the time comes for heavier damage, but ah well.

Does that seriously say 81 zombies? Holy fuck. Thank goodness I'm no-where near that.

81 zeds still standing and 57 knocked down, for a grand total of 138, not counting those inside and in the surrounding blocks. Petrosjko has created a monster.

Have a very nice day.

You'd die before you could refresh the screen.

Nah. most of them are offline, really. If the assault was actually coordinated, that place wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes.

Have a very nice day.

I'm on the edges of Reganbank, so let me know when we've picked a spot. I'm also loaded up with 2 full pistols and a couple of shotguns shells, so hopefully by the time we group up I'll be level three. Should I go for Free Running, or Expert Pistol?

SyntaxVorlon · Post by **SyntaxVorlon** » 2005-10-08 11:13am

Normal pistol training is high enough at this point, go for free-running or hand to hand first, 25% ax hits at a low level are what make the fireman what he is. My fireman's already level three because of it. Get either of those then wait to pick up construction.

Oh and my fireman has just picked up construction, so tell me what to start barricading.

The annihilation of Nichols Mall was certainly a good deal. One of my human characters heard about it so naturally it wouldn't be cheap at all to load up the zombie and have him get his way over there.

Naturally, when in a crowd of 70 zombies some zombie hunter will just come up and headshot *me* before running off. Bastard.

Killed another zombie, getting Shopping, and after than bargain hunting.

What malls do you guys suggest that I visit, that are clear of zombies? How should I go about going to a mall, scouting out the place first to see if there's any huge zombie hordes lurking about? I plan to stay for a few days at least, raiding the gun shop and getting a shitload of shotguns.

Today was lucky, I found two fully loaded shotguns searching a police department. I'm not using my shotgun ammuntion at all, so I've saved up quite a bit of them.

Private Nvmerivs is still searching ammo. Today I found a full pistol, a clip, and two shotgun shells, so I just need 2 more shells and 2 more clips to have all my guns full. And I'll stay a day or two after that to see if I can get spares.

Brother Gaius Sullus is doing a bit worse because he only has a Power Axe instead of Nvmerivs' mad gun skills. I'm up to 60-something XP attacking the 9 Zombies trying to break into His Most Holy Cathedral (fgalkin, if you're reading this, move Brother Galkinus to the Goulding Hotel 1 North of the NE Corner of the Cathedral, it's not heavily barricaded and is closer, and help me try to liberate the outside of the Cathedral. Whoever is inside isn't doing a good job shoring it up and it'll be broken soon if we don't kill some of them.).

I must gain admittance to His Most Holy Cathedral or I am unworthy to call myself a Redemptionist, but should I get Axe Proficiency and THEN Free Running or vice versa? I don't know if I want to be stronger but outside The Emperor's Cathedral or weak but inside it...

Post by **fgalkin** » 2005-10-08 11:22pm

Holy crap, I've killed 2 humans today, and got 80 or so XP from spending 30-odd APs on attacks. The RRF is awesome.

Have a very nice day.

SyntaxVorlon, I just noticed that we're holed up in the same safehouse.

Ciaohmamahamam? Yah, I'm Nvmerivs. I was there and bragged about my kill yesterday, but I left for ammo. Welcome to the De Facto SDNSAG meeting point, if only out of random chance instead of design.

Edit- Created a Zombie, Paul Is Walking Dead. Heading for Petro's monster creation, but I found a guy with 12 HP on the way. He's down to four even though a Z-Hunter just killed all the zombies in my square but me and did 30 damage to me, so I should have him soon as my AP recharges (already tried 7 times to get that last hit...)

SyntaxVorlon · Post by **SyntaxVorlon** » 2005-10-09 03:46pm

I'm thinking of having my skill after ax prof and free-run for my private be bargin hunting and going to the nearest mall. Are Caiger and Marven zed free?

My characters are progressing nicely otherwise. Both at level three.

Faram · Post by **Faram** » 2005-10-10 05:43am

Well this is a good day.

My military dude Faram offed two Z and dodged a 20somthing bunzh of Z, runned like hell and now I have some skills.

Currently at "Wray Heights" any idea where I should head?

And also My Zombie "Tarantella" ate two humans and got the much wanted ankle grab

He is currently eating some corpses over at "South Blythville"

Erik von Nein · Post by **Erik von Nein** » 2005-10-10 07:23am

Sweet. My fireman's got construction, so if any barricades need a-buildin' I'll come a-runnin'.

brianeyci · Post by **brianeyci** » 2005-10-10 08:04am

I had too many items in my inventory so I had to start dropping all my useless stuff, flare guns, newspapers and so on, to get more weapons and ammunition.

Next turn, hunt a zombie, get bargain hunting, and heading for a mall to load up on even more ammunition, killing zombies on the way as I go. I have 5 or 6 pistols and 5 or 6 shotguns.

Gah! What the fuck is with their servers? Did they just by cheap ones or is it a problem with their ISP?

I think it's more the ~20,000 on every single day plus the cheap servers.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2005-10-10 06:29pm

Awesome, I capped two zombies today and got Free Running. Now it's time to go stock up on weapons....

...twenty searches later, I have a flak jacket, but no weapons and no ammo. Wonderful.

Duckie · Post by **Duckie** » 2005-10-10 06:45pm

I just shot a zombie with my Kung Fu Shotgun skills (had like 6 of them emptied at him), and then pinged a flak-jacket wearing zombie until I had 100 XP. Now I'm just waiting to get the AP to not be standing in the street...

Brother Gaius, meanwhile, is attacking a pair of zombies... one of them wasn't there when I started, so I might have a live one on my hands...

Edit- Fuck me, either there's a zerging player or a group hitting our cathedral- one more arrived before my eyes as I attacked the two of them, and as I ran for the Cathedral's entrance another arrived. Game over, man, game over! We're screwed!

Losonti Tokash · Post by **Losonti Tokash** » 2005-10-10 07:11pm

Had a close call today. Was holed up in a police station due to lack of shelter otherwise. Logged on tonight as something like 20 zombies broke in. Needless to say, I ran like hell and everyone inside is likely sucking brains right now.

Duckie · Post by **Duckie** » 2005-10-10 07:55pm

Hopefully the site is down for everybody else, because I'm standing in the middle of the street 1 block away from a zombie and 2 from another one...

Edit- Oh shit oh shit oh shit, I just spent my last 2 AP getting to the safehouse and the doors are open and everybody's dead but Jogurt and Me and there's 5 zombies with us there. SyntaxVorlon, if you're alive, don't come back!
