Name:Nathan Cleary.
Age:16
Bio: Tall, about 190cm, he has short brown hair and hazel/grey eyes. He knows some Martial Arts.
His family was 'visiting relatives' at the time of the outbreak. Then they got eaten. Now he's alone... apart from an axe, rifle and pair of semi-automatic pistols he found. He's generally a bit of a smart ass, but get's along with people who can handle being sworn at from time to time...
Hurtful, you've more or less made a charrie already... Just give him a name and age!!

John Wayne sound like a good name?
(Someone else can be Chuck Norris...)
His 'weapons' for now, consist of a BFH, pry bar, a chipping hammer, and basic tools and rubble lying about (board with nail in it) until he can get his hands on a shotgun.
He's pretty well 'armored', since he is wearing a leather coat, and chaps, with leather gauntlets, and steal toed wellington boots...
His car was swamped and flipped by a group of zombies.
Oh, and he's got an oxyfuel cuting torch (MAPP gas, not Acetolyne), now all he needs to do is know how a flamethrower works and a car with a full tank of gasoline...
(Oxyful cutting torch aparatus, with cutting oxegen line replaced with gasoline tank pressurized with inert gas, it'll most likely cart mounted, as an industrial oxygen and mapp containers are large, but this allows for a bigger fuel tank...)
Needless to say, he was at work when they struck, and just managed to fight his way out as he looked for his car. A few co-workers also manage to get out, but these people ultamately don't make it, but provide enough distraction for him to hobble said flamethrower together and escape from the factory in a delivery van (last used by a postal worker trying to live up to their slogan).

Wasn't Dr. Alex Rosman "the Omega man", and worked at a lab trying to find a cure to the vampire plauge, and just happened to be immune?
You also seem to have taken a bit of Van Helsing (Dracula)...
And some other source I can't trace...
And I'm not sure about those who want to go about around Halloween in a T-shirt, it snowed last night and the day before over here... And I practicly froze to death walking home from school a mere 6 miles away during Halloween... (didn't think it would get so cold so fast, what did those North Koreans put in that nuke?)
So... where is this RP going to take place?

The only Omega Man I'm aware of is the one in the 1954 book I am Legend, which was excellent by the way, and it's movie adaptation The Omega Man, which was horrible. In both cases, the hero is Robert Neville. So I don't know what you could be thinking of, however I did take a bit of Van Helsing for his persona and a little bit of Highlander and Blade in terms of clothing.
Hurtful Thoughts
05-11-2006, 10:13
Well, Highlander explains the hair and coat, Blade explains the motorcycle (to an extent) boots, and clothing (except coat), and Van Helsing explains the doctorate.
Still no clue where the P99s are from... Underworld?
Reffering to the off-ish movie "Last man on Earth", though the name of the main character is probably still not 'Rosman', or is it?
(Checks)
Oh, the protagonist was named "Robert Morgan" and played by Vincent Price.
Dr. Mark Rosman just happens to be a name I apparently memorized in my younger days.
(and then forgot why I commited his name to memory, apparently because of his studies on hearing loss due to middle ear infections and impaired speech development)
Sort of like E. P. Hoyt, and Mark Tunis.

Write down a few occupation/jobs/lifestyles, put them into a hat, draw one.
For name, read newspaper, look on page C-3, use the first obscure name you find.
(or take a [composite] name from the obituaries)
For age, ask someone to give a random number or just guess.
The rest is just formed naturally as you speculate why he is still alive and such.
If all else fails, take Chuck Norris...

For age, ask someone to give a random number or just guess.
The rest is just formed naturally as you speculate why he is still alive and such.
If all else fails, take Chuck Norris...

RP is located in Boxtown, a suburb of Memphis Tennessee.
An army base is a ways out, but then again, we have some Russian soldier running around in this RP...
I would assume the RP will be limited to within the town.
---------
I seem to understand you clearly enough.
I did a zombie RP with someone who ran the posts through internet translators in order to read or write the posts.
This caused a few problems, as some phrases didn't translate at all, but it worked pretty well regardless.
Occasional (and sometimes frequent) errors may be allowed, so long as it is understood and attempts to follow the RP. (I choose not to discriminate against people because of the language they speak, or how poorly it is translated from thought to paper)
(Amercian slang explained for those not familiar: A 'go'- a fight or arguement)

Yes, an american black and white show, ran even in technicolor, and made it a movie.
"The Andy Griffith Show" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Andy_Griffith_Show)
Guns were almost never used, Otis, the town drunk, willingly (and sometimes demanded) to be given a cell after a long day's drinking every afternoon.
Deputy Fife: Spit and polish sort, by the book but lacked some common sense.
Had to carry his gun unloaded (bullet in pocket) after he repeatedly shot himself in the foot.
Andy Griffith: the Sheriff, doesn't carry a gun, rather relaxed about things since Mayberry was a small town where nothing really dangerous happened.
Normally he settled disputes in a fatherly fashion.
Opie: An orphan that Griffith adopts, shoots a bird and is convinced to take care of the nest in consequence of his actions.
Gomer Pyle (Later joined USMC spawning a very popular spin-off) Auto-mechanic, very simple minded.

Name: Miranda Vreni
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Hair: Short Blond
Height: 5'9'
Weight: 120 lbs
Occupation: Special Forces
Bio: As a member of the Tocrowkian Reich's "Assairs Guard", an elite Special Forces Division, Miranda's early history has been inducted into a top-secret archive and nothing is known. How ever, she is a highly-trained, dedicated and talented soldier, knowledgeable in at least twelve forms of martial arts including Krav Maga, Tae Kwon Do, and Keichu Do. Also, contrary to billions of other soldiers on the planet, she has actually had to deal with zombie outbreaks before and knows her stuff. She has been assigned by the Reich to watch over the town for signs of infection when rumors first leaked out.
Weapons: At the moment, only her fists. How ever, she has quite the armory at her apartment.
Equipment: The clothes on her back. How ever, her true equipment is hidden back at her apartment.
Vehicle: None.
Armor: None, though she has an Assairs Guard battle suit hidden in her apartment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protect-Gear
I read it (where else did I get the pic?), no, I'm MT, not PMT.
So no cold fusion.
Technicly, yes, the armor is within the time period, but is generally frowned upon on a survival RP.
Since military types are best prpared to fight, they would be expected to go out into harm's way trying to kill as many as they can, the civies and bystanders however, need only concern themselves with staying alive, and once the bodies start piling up, military grade weapons start littering the place (to a degree).
Therfore, the SF troops are actually less likely to survive than the guy running the pharmacy down the street.
And no, I'm noy using my military in this RP (it would end too quickly).

No, because authority tends to break down, it is the psychology of your character to take the fight to the enemy, or to selflessly put yourself in harm's way so that other may live.
In other words, figures of order and upholders peace tend to take the brunt of the zombie onslaught, it is generally only after this line breaks that the civies start getting mauled.
The rate of death is slower, as they are better able to cope, but they ultamately fail, this effect cascades like an avalanch upon the general population and panic quickly ensues.
Zombies are attracted to light and sound, along with whatever they thought of subconciously. Such as shopping at the mall...

Are you still accepting new entries?
If so I'd like to add one of the "rare" civilians to the collection.
If not, than sorry for the interruption ;) please continue what you were doing.
Name: Michelle Harrows
Age: 22
Looks: Darkbrown, loose-hanging shoulderlength hair frames a long face that would probably be a lot more attractive if she paid more attention to her make-up. Her brown eyes are hidden under glasses, and in her free time, she loves to wear a warm baggy woolen sweater and jeans over trackshoes.
Bio: Michelle was born and raised in Boxtown. She had gone to kindergarten, preschool and highschool there, and was even a troupleader at the local girl-scouts, although the other leaders often would make fun of her, calling her the "boy-scout" because of her interests in survival and hiking.
When time came for university studies, she had decided on biochemistry, at a university not to far away. She still returned home quite often, such as now, to write her final article on her promotional thesis: "HIV-coat proteins and their role in infection." (could be usefull in the current situation)
Hobbies: Computers (programming and casemodding), Scouting, Exploding chemistry.
vehicle: Her brother's bicycle, with newspaper-delivery-bags for added storage capacity.
Equipment/weapons: 80 liter backpack (with food, 3 water bottles, biochemistry book, flashlight, matches, lighter, candles, propane camping stove, 10m rope, detailed map of Boxtown area, sleepingbag), swiss army knife, 6 foot aluminum profile (big metal stick, from case mod hobby), toolbox (on bike)
other tidbits: Can be considered the "Mythical Geek Girl". Gets nightmares from watching Resident Evil (imagine the impact of living it). Can synthesize explosives if given proper chemicals ("extra credit" from university). Good with ropes and knots (from Scouting).
I'll await approval here before making an introductory IC post.
(and yes, the character is self-based, but I exagerrated some points a little and flipped the gender for a better male-female balance in-game.
Should be refreshing among all the supersoldiers and macho-survivalists ;) )
Gente Del Agua,
The group at the police station are grabbing weapons, maybe we could hook up near the gas station....
Mike will need to go there anyways....

Well, my charactor and the group with him took a bunch of weapons from the police station and just left after meeting 1 more charactor..they are going to get gas and food..then goto a safew spot to figure out what they can do...
I came to the conclusion that it's a parkade...
agree?
three to four levels up....1 way in, 1 way out...a car full of guns and ammo...
The second group, consists of three people and i am unsure of their plan..

Isa, your spying thingy even listens to WiFi?
damn you must hear a lot of noise. And I'm not sure if the signal is strong enough to hear at that distance. In good cases, WiFi only goes a meter or 30-50.
Just my personal opinion that both the Sephrioth and you are a bit overequipped. What fun is horror survival when you can just blast anything without limit... ;) That, and the technology-gap...
Do you mean that you abandoned Xavier and John Wayne to guard Abe? Or are you still with them?

no it just scans all Radio waves and picks up voices then let him hear them talk
other then that he gets on sound ,till he talks to same one or it picks up or people talking on a Radio
lets say all Stones gear came from a lab that on one knows of
so you know the citys army base is the key to story too
Xavier and John Wayne,Stone part i dont know what happen there
as for Sephrioth i dont think no one know what he up to
and if you read Miranda Vreni info you see what she got back at her place

That talk was over Skype, which would mean it's an internet signal, I wasn't sure if your device picked that up as well.
Must be some nifty gadget, picking up digitalised audio from a puny WiFi signal, halfway across town. I wish my router did that :D
Automatically breaking any encryption might be a bit to much however.
But then again, "encrypted sattelite uplinks" are not the most private means anyway. I mean, come on, they output their signal across half the globe, plus the 2-3 second delay for the audio to bounce to space and back again...
Nope, no satellite uplinks for the Cornflakeistani army...
I'm not even sure if Cornflakeistan even has an army. I might go for a pacifist state...
It's just that I'm always a bit sceptical with "secret lab" equipement. It has a way of becoming overpowered. It's what you get when different techlevels mix.
Mike/Osteia hasn't announced the army base part yet, so we don't know it as a party. Although I would like to be able to discuss the finer points of mutated HIV virii with Doc Abe hint hint ;)
I think Xavier and John Wayne will pick up in the weekend, probably school or something.
Sephrioth seems to believe this is a Resident Evil replay. I admit, I see certain "influences" (;)) as well, but Kamasha has made clear with his stories that it isn't. So sephrioth should watch out with "Umbrella dropped the Nemesis", "It's the T-virus", "I'm an umbrella clean-up team" and that sort of thing.
As long as he doesn't try to nuke Boxtown to "cover up the evidence", which would be god-moding anyways, it'll be allright.
Miranda so far hasn't pulled anything "supertech". Although it's unlikely, knowing 15 martial arts and being a secret agent is imaginable within present-tech settings. (and so far, this RP seems to be present-tech. Unless Kamasha tells me it's otherwise).
All she says is that her "full equipment" is back home. She hasn't stated that the equipment consists of 3 heavy phaser guns and a warp-enabled shuttle pod... (which would definately be "supertech" in my book).
BTW:
Kamasha, Cool that the zombies are HIV related. It makes Michelle's promotional thesis quite a lucky pick :D
Need any "expert" for Abe to work out a cure with? ;)
And you may have seen that I mentioned something about Michelle's mom knowing more of it all (working at the "big company" in town etc.), is that okay, or should I ditch that idea?
BTW2: Updated the party list: the Tree-climbers joined with the Mailmen.

He got a PDA for HACKing and other things

the Radio is HD one that can pick up sub space messages
yes he got to watch out
Stone can just kill Nemesis

"HD"? No idea where that term comes from.
If it picks up subspace messages, how on earth is it usefull on well... Earth?
We still use F-ing electromagnetic waves, for gods sake ;)
That's like trying to pick up smoke signals with a television! ;)
And now for more serious conversation:
AI's would be overteched in my book, but then again, it's Kamasha's RP, let him decide.
I seriously hope we won't get a Stone vs. Nemesis (aka "Unkillable soldier vs. Unkillable soldier") fights in this thread, that would NOT contribute to the quality of the RP...
And remember, size doesn't matter, I'm 1m95 in real life, yet I eat dust against several shorter people I know... Then again, those people practise martial arts, and I don't...
Kamasha, can you give us any indication of where you want this to go?
long-term-survival? instant-salvation-tomorrow-morning? Apocalypse-destroying-the-world type of thing?
Some indication could help the people adjust their roleplaying to your story.

Apparently, Sephrioth's guys are in front of the parkade and I believe I stated in my post that I walked past them and went upstairs to where Mike and Michelle are. Originally, I rode up to the top on my bike but Sephrioth's guys stopped me before I got there or some such nonsense. So I guess I left my precious bike at the bottom of the parkade. Anyway, the question is directed at the group with Mike and Michelle in it.

Aurigae, I was mixed up by your chat with Sephrioth's people.
In the hurry scanning it all (needed to go to next class) I understood you went up the parkade, where you had a chat with Sephrioth's team.
Which would be strange, since sephrioth isn't on top of the garage, but we are...
It's cleared up now...
Leaves one discontinuity:
Sephrioth is killing hordes of zombies down on the street, while the "parkade party" is looking out over a quiet street, the to quiet street...
I also updated the party list in my previous post.
Dang, our groups are getting big :)
BTW:
Kamasha, Cool that the zombies are HIV related. It makes Michelle's promotional thesis quite a lucky pick
Need any "expert" for Abe to work out a cure with?
And you may have seen that I mentioned something about Michelle's mom knowing more of it all (working at the "big company" in town etc.), is that okay, or should I ditch that idea?
Well I have just posted about Abe talking to a female doctor (wich was calling him honny lol) so we could make them lovers or anything in that.
As for where this is going I only have a weary lose plottline. How about you first try to survive for as long as posible and when you have made yourselfe conftibulle you might try to find out what realy happened at that army base ;)

Aurigae, I was mixed up by your chat with Sephrioth's people.
In the hurry scanning it all (needed to go to next class) I understood you went up the parkade, where you had a chat with Sephrioth's team.
Which would be strange, since sephrioth isn't on top of the garage, but we are...
It's cleared up now...
Leaves one discontinuity:
Sephrioth is killing hordes of zombies down on the street, while the "parkade party" is looking out over a quiet street, the to quiet street...
I also updated the party list in my previous post.
Dang, our groups are getting big :)

Kamasha, great minds think alike :D
I was musing over the same thing :)
You know, that would explain some of the stranger silences that fell when Michelle came home sometimes ;)
Isa, sorry about that, I assumed you rejoined Xavier & co. after your trip to the parkade. Guess you didn't. consider it fixed.

It had me messed up too, don't worry about it. I just couldn't figure out where Sephrioth's guys came from. They weren't there and then they were so I figured it was best to talk to the squad of guys waving guns at me.
WHERE ARE TEH VAMPIREZORZ FOR THOSE WEIRD PEOPLE'S GUY TO KILL!!!
Or did we pick between vampires or zombies if there is just zombies I guess my guy doesn't have silver bullets or a silver lined machete. And he wasn't climbing a tree but thats ok!
Come on I'm waiting for anyone else from my group of guys to say something damnit!!!

Scaveutland suicided already. He's a zombie now.
Haven't heard from him since...
As for the IC parts: Kamasha, what kind of Mall/supermarket does Boxtown have? A K-mart with averything from candybars to semi-automatic rifles, (non-)household chemicals, construction material etc.?
Or more like the local 7/11 with only foodstuffs?
I mean: can we go all A-team and build supertanks with nasty (optionally chemical) weaponry and remodel the parkade to fort Knox, or will we have to scrounge for a loaf of bread?
(I'm in favour of scrounging for bread, as I said in the IC thread: limiting players makes them grow more creative)
There are plenty of different malls. In south there are the biggest. "The Lagune" her you will find about anything you look for. However this place will be infested with zombies and other vermit. There are also a number of medium sized malls. Two in every direction (North, south, west and east), her you can find many things like cloths and food, but not things like cars and chemicals, they are easy to come by, but unfortunate weary much went up in flames when the the zombies arrived. You might arrive finding it leveled with the ground. Small shops with food can be found everywhere. However they only sell food such as snack bars and coca cola. Perhaps you might find a hot dog or some other fast food stores. They will not be infested by zombies but you might find a surviving (or dead) store clerk.
as for AK. You will have to wait for the rest of the monsters. First i need a decent plot line where I can introduce them. You can die if you want and play as a zombie, or you can wait and play as one of the monsters.
Cornflakeistan I love your list. Keep it going.

BTW: Kamasha, could I include my scouting group as resource site?
I was thinking they would have axes, ropes, a few propane bottles and -cookers and tents.
Also wooden poles we could use for building some primitive structures (scouting technique: building stuff with wood and rope, in Dutch: "Pionieren", I haven't found a translation yet)

Isa, I'm planning to build a signalfire after we get our base set up.
But barricading everything has a higher priority at the moment.
We wouldn't want to attract thousands of zombies to an undefensible parking garage with all that light, now would we?
And the "love thing" is for Abe:
Kamasha and I both thought it would be cool if the "female doctor" from Abe's flashback would be Michelle's mother. Michelle never really did know what her mom did for a living, only that she worked for some big company in town, probably some office job, but she wasn't too sure...
Imagine when she finds out: Her mom partly caused this, by working together with the person with whom she was cheating on her father. Not to mention her Mom probably knows (knew?) as much about the HIV as Michelle does...
Now, if Michelle would develop a relation with Abe, would that be a little to much of "like mother, like daughter"? ;)
The other "love thing" you could mean would be Michelle's interest in Officer Mike.
He's becoming her new father-figure a little now, since he took her in and protected her after she learned her dad was dead at the highschool.
It'll probably develop into something deeply Freudian, maybe some competition with Miranda, who also is after him (but for her own devious plans), and probably a lot of broken harts ;)

08-11-2006, 20:55
Michelle may not know about the light thing, but Cornflakeistan does ;)
(Yes, I am nearly admitting to metagaming here, sue me :P)
Besides, Michelle wants to have a safe haven first, before they start looking for survivors. After all, there's no sense in attracting survivors to a zombie-overrun place that used to be safe, now is there?
Once the camp is set up, she also wants to call a group meeting to make further plans, discuss rationing, guard schedules, important knowledge about zombies to share, ideas for defenses, getting to know eachother etc.

Whatever Doc's plans are, I hope Michelle can contribute usefully.
I'm still amazed at the serendipity of choosing HIV as a (random) subject for Michelle to be interested in, and then it turns out to be the main plot virus :D
Michelle should be able to acces most of her HIV documents, she has them stored centrally accesible at the university (provided the university isn't included in the power-outage area, that would down their servers by now). Of course, this means Rob's laptop has to regain it's connection...
The documents are also at her home, but the power's down there, so that's of no use.
(And yes, keeping mirrored copies of your life's work is standard policy once you've see ad's hanging around for "Please return my stolen laptop, I will pay any price. I NEED the data for my promotion!".
That was an actual, real-life, event... poor bloke...)
I haven't decided on the actual content of the documents yet, I'll discuss it with you (Kamasha that is) once/if it becomes relevant.

power is coved by Stone you find out when you talk about power for the laptop
an i think Stone should be sent to get the paper work
occ: Isa I think perhaps your gear is a little to over rated. . Where did you find that droid? Remember that this "attack" were totaly unexpected. The chanses are slim that you brought it with you, or even had it, this is MT not FT or PMT. I have made my self a promise not to intervine to much in the actual rp. Just playing my character and making the plot. However I broke my own rule to comment this thing. Just all please remember that there would have been no warning before the attack. I don't ask for you to go back on your old post and edit. Please just remember this as you RPing your character draging a Nuke out of the backpack in order to take out some zombies.
Thank you.

Isa, I would agree with Kamasha here:
Survival scenario's are all the more fun when the resources are scarce. Having an infinite-power microfusion plant with you, (or a food replicator, or practically limitless ammo-suplies for that matter) eliminates the scarcity, and thereby the challenge. Overcoming the challenges in an inventive way is what makes these scenarios fun.
As I said before, there's no fun in a survival scenario if you just sit in your comfy chair with a cold drink, while picking of every zombie within three miles with your Uber-mondo-homing-armor-piercing-machinegun-2000(tm) which can be loosely wielded in your left hand because of ubertech stabilisation techniques. (Exageration on purpose)
It may be cool for a minute or two, but after that...
Wouldn't it be far cooler if you shot two zombies with your last bullets, and then, devoid of ammo, and hunger gnawing in your stomach, you had to resort to manual combat, just to discover that your armour's power is depleted and you are on your own physical self now. But then! you remember the burning tree a street back! You lure the zombies back to the tree by backstepping all the way, and with a hatchet improvised from a broomstick and a sharp piece of metal from a car-wrech, you make the burning tree collapse on the zombies, killing 15 of them through sheer brilliance!
Now I ask you, which of the two is a cooler story to tell your friends?
(and remember: they'll top the first story with. "Oh yeah? Well my character would have just deployed his automatic nuclear laser beam to kill the zombies, and then used his SuperJump jetpack to go on vacation to Hawaii)
To give some specific points that "un-limit" things:
-the "I'm invincible!" powered armour (cool idea: have it fail at a critical moment, forcing Stone to show some of his secret uber combat moves, but then he get's bitten by a zombie and you can have three days roleplaying Stone becoming more and more zombie-like until he finally succombs and becomes a diabolical enemy)
-infinite power for the laptop
-infinite flares from the UAV (any UAV small enough to fit in a backpack could probably fly for about 30 minutes, and maybe carry one flare, but definately not enough to illuminate half the city.
-the UAV itself (it's more fun when you don't know what's around the next corner >:-) )
-The unlimited ammo minigun
-The food/ammo replicator
----------------------------------------
BTW: I updated the party list again :D
I also added a basic summary below, outlining some of the more major happenings. It's intended as a loose guideline, not a complete diary.
The list:
Format: IC name (OC name) (short description, stereotypical, and not intended to be offensive but to be recognizable if you missed the names)
"Parkade HQ" (on top of parking garage):
Michelle Harrows (Cornflakeistan) (geek scouting girl)
Alex Owen (Brazilam)
Miranda Vreni (Tocrowkia) (Commando Chick)
Alec Rosman (Beta Aurigae VII) (Van Helsing the museum curator)
zero one (Seprioth) (Umbrella team)
The "Harvesters":
Mike Clay (Osteia) (The Police Officer)
Frank Winslow (Hakurabi) (Vietnam Veteran with "old Betsy")
Walter Woodsworth (Those weird people) (Gothic Zombie Survivaler)
Rob Nemur (Hakeka) (highschooler with laptop)
"Mailmen" (About to join Parkade HQ, partially inactive):
John Wayne (Hurtful thoughts) (Welder with flamethrower)
Xavier (Gente del Agua) (Molotov dropping kid)
Romanov Kalashnikov (AK-108s) (Family of AK47 inventor)
Nathan Cleary (Warshrike) (Guy from the tree)
"The king-pins" (In some random house)
Stone (Imperial Isa) (Uber armoured dude)
Abe "the doc" (Kamesha) (Cause of all this (?) )
Zombies:

Rick Breitenstine (Breitenburg) (the rockstar, inactive?)
Shaun (Hooray for Boobies) (...of the dead recreation, inactive?)
Yunis Yaman (Ravea) (muslim holy warrior, inactive?)
*end list*
Story summary:
I'll try to update the story at least a few times. It's just a short overview, and in no way a complete log of every detailed event.
Due to some unfortunate time-distorting effects of slow and/or missed posts, the list can't be exactly chronologically. I tried to group simultaneous events, but it's not a perfect solution.
Boxtown is a peacefull and happy town, filled with two million happy people.
The power fails. Several curious people (cue: players) discover the city is being overrun by zombies
A party (the "Parkade party") emerges at the Highschool/Police department: Alex, Rob, Mike, and later: Miranda and Michelle. Stone makes himself known but doesn't join.
Parkade party loots Police department for weapons.
In the Xavier-residence, Xavier teams up with John Wayne, and are reinforced by Stone on their way out in the mailvan (party code: the "mailmen")
The parkade party heads for the parkade (hence the name)
Sephrioth's Clean-up team is dropped at the police station, and just misses the Parkade group.
In a tree, Nathan meets Romanov in a frantic zombie slugfest. A party forms (codename: Treeclimbers)
the Treeclimbers are set free by the Mailmen, the parties join forces.
Stone breaks of from mailmen to save Sephioths team
Stone meets up with "Doc" Abe on his way back. The doc apperantly made the virus that caused all this.
The top of the parkade is developing into zombie-survivor-HQ. Plans are being made to fortify it.
Many, previously solo, survivors (Alec Rosman, Walter, Frank) assemble with the parkade party on top of the parkade
Parkade is beginning to be converted to an HQ
Parkade sends out a resource gathering party (Codesigned: "Harvesters", consisting of: Mike, Rob, Frank, Walter)
The kingpins fire flares, and in reply, the Mailmen as well -> Kingpin learns of existence of Mailmen, Mailman of Kingpin, Parkade of both.
Kingpins deploy UAV -> learns exact location of Parkade group and Mailmen.
Mailmen on their way to Parkade HQ
Kingpins on their way to Parkade HQ (~page 23)
Sephrioth joins the Parkade party with his Alfa squad, the Beta squad is still somewhere out there.
That's it for now folks :)

Also wooden poles we could use for building some primitive structures (scouting technique: building stuff with wood and rope, in Dutch: "Pionieren", I haven't found a translation yet)
It's called 'Pioneering' here in America.
I have that, along with 24 other merit badges...
I'm a little partial towards the Japanese Mark II Square lashing over the 'standard', provided one person pulled on each end of the rope.
Accordding to the ICC, all Americans are international terrorists
Wiki it:
Nicuagua V. United States
USA got out of it by stating the ICC didn't have any jurisdiction over America, and if they'd like to press the issue, they'd nuke Netherlands...
A few other countries are filing similar claims, most notably Cuba...

but she cant hide that she been train to Stone
as for Stone i cant say now you just have to wait
Yes..actually she can. I still don't know why you think Krauser...I mean Stone would automatically know she has been trained. To the degree of a Commando, no less. For all he knows, she could be a police officer or an Army Reservist.

Sorry, I reffuse to believe that, as finding speus and terrorists in real life is rather difficult (since they are trained NOT to stick out like a sore thumb).
A 'regular', may or may not stand out, as they have noe obvious reason to hide their occupation (well, except for the Iraqi police force...)
But, from his first post, and sign up, she is a 'sleeper agent', therefore, she can most likely BS and make up plausable excuses for her abilities.

*end list*
Story summary:
Due to some unfortunate time-distorting effects of slow and/or missed posts, the list can't be exactly chronologically. I tried to group simultaneous events, but it's not a perfect solution.
Boxtown is a peacefull and happy town, filled with two million happy people.
The power fails. Several curious people (cue: players) discover the city is being overrun by zombies
A party (the "Parkade party") emerges at the Highschool/Police department: Alex, Rob, Mike, and later: Miranda and Michelle. Stone makes himself known but doesn't join.
Parkade party loots Police department for weapons.
In the Xavier-residence, Xavier teams up with John Wayne, and are reinforced by Stone on their way out in the mailvan (party code: the "mailmen")
The parkade party heads for the parkade (hence the name)
Sephrioth's Clean-up team is dropped at the police station, and just misses the Parkade group.
In a tree, Nathan meets Romanov in a frantic zombie slugfest. A party forms (codename: Treeclimbers)
the Treeclimbers are set free by the Mailmen, the parties join forces.
Stone breaks of from mailmen to save Sephioths team
Stone meets up with "Doc" Abe on his way back. The doc apperantly made the virus that caused all this.
The top of the parkade is developing into zombie-survivor-HQ. Plans are being made to fortify it.
Many, previously solo, survivors (Alec Rosman, Walter, Frank) assemble with the parkade party on top of the parkade
Parkade is beginning to be converted to an HQ
Parkade sends out a resource gathering party (Codesigned: "Harvesters", consisting of: Mike, Rob, Frank, Walter)
The kingpins fire flares, and in reply, the Mailmen as well -> Kingpin learns of existence of Mailmen, Mailman of Kingpin, Parkade of both.
Kingpins deploy UAV -> learns exact location of Parkade group and Mailmen.
Mailmen on their way to Parkade HQ

A pivotal point indeed...
And sephrioth, it's quite hard to miss the threats...
I would like to point out to you that your sniper would have had it's bead on Michelle.
For exactly this response ("I aim my gun, if he as much as moves, I kill him"), from anyone, including you, I specifically stated that Michelle would stand in the firing line.
Yes, I am body-shielding a total stranger,
Yes, I am aware that the total stranger is actually threatening to kill a person
who was a less-then-total-but-still-quite-a-lot-a total stranger. A stranger whom I didn't even like.
Yes, It was a completely stupid, unlogical and unadvantegeous thing to do
BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE PLOT INTERESTING
Roleplaying is all about having interactions with the other players, and developing a gripping story toghether.
And now a certain conversation about "I could kill you" "No you can't" "Yes I can" "No you can't" "But I'm a supersoldier" "But I have ten m16's trained at you" "well, I have a russian machine gun"...
(need I continue, or am I clear?)
(That was a rhetorical question)
..now that certain conversation is degrading a perfectly good intense roleplay interaction of several dominant personalities meeting eachother into a fight of "My character Pwns your Character".
Do any of you recall kindergarten?
Where you would say "Well, my daddy is stronger than your daddy" ?
If you want to be a tough guy, go play Serious Sam 2. Killing gazillions of random aliens coming at you for no particular reason but to be slaughtered by you is probably more your thing than intense social interaction with other characters.
And yes, for those of you who haven't noticed, I am very annoyed.
For all's sake, it's become bad enough to have Tocrowkia actually leave...
Shape. Up. People!
Disclaimer:
This above-stated explosion of anger is not directed at all of you, several people have been wonderfull in roleplaying, even if some seem to be having a bit of start-up difficulties with getting their character to emerge, or who choose not to post every five minutes (a very sane choiche I might add).
However, between these story-based roleplayers, we have a few "power-players", who apperantly consider their own character's uberness more important than the main plotline. (Need I add that this is not a good thing?)
I regard the actual roleplayers high enough to know for themselves who they are. If you are in doubt, you are probably a roleplayer with a good, maybe overactive, sense of self-judgement, don't worry to much.
The actual powergamers will probably be revealed by their response to this post.

To get this RP a little back into order again, I'd like to propose the following courses of action:
1) We all mentally rewrite the "Romanov knows everything about Miranda and held her at gunpoint" bit into:
"Romanov entered, guns drawn, demanding an explanation from anyone, happening to pick Miranda as his unlucky victim".
The following tense-situation-which-nearly-killed-us-all is to cool to ignore, so I propose we leave that as it was (so we only rewrite the cause of it, not the tense situation itself)
2) Since we kinda destroyed the parkade through some uncoordinated actions, I suggest we all somehow relocate (preferably after a good roleplay where we make a plan).
Currently Kamasha has given a good hook for that, but it looks a bit hurried.
Michelle is going to try to force a group meeting first.
2b) The actual point of my point 2 is that currently, most players are still roleplaying in their own little universes.
If we want to get some cool events along, have some meaningfull character interaction, develop a plotline together etc. we'll need to attune those private universes to eachother.
In short: get a sort of OC understanding of where we all want this RP to go.
Having a group meeting to discuss a plan would be a nice IC way to get to this. (Perhaps supplemented by additional discussion in this OC thread).
I'll give an example of what I mean:
Things I'd like to see in this RP:
1-Michelle using her scouting skills to help the group survive
2-Michelle talking with Doc to find out more about the virus
3-create a group feeling among the survivors.
4-setting up a stable HQ (without blowing it to bits) to work from. (would help point 3: home sweet home)
None of these things are absolute requirements for me, but merely what I'd like to see, eventually, integrated into the plotline.
The feeling I have at the moment is that Stone (note use of character names instead of player names) is running around in a zombie frag-fest, Zero-One is in a Resident Evil re-enactment, Michelle is dreaming a survival horror, Alex (Rosman) is leading a crusade versus evil, and then some others are just trying to tag along to whatever seems most logical to them at the moment.
Note that I do not want to discredit any of the players or their playing styles, I'm just saying that it would probably be more enjoyable for all of us if we attune our expectations to eachother (Kamasha being the judge, since it's his RP)
Sorry for the lengthy rant ;)
Edit: I won't update the Party list until we get our act together IC, it'll probably fluctuate to much to keep track until then anyways.
Edit (cont.):
What I'm saying is that we should not hurridly leave the parkade, but first, as players, get a grip on what's happening, so we don't make stupid mistakes in our hurry to post.
A good wine needs aging, so does a good RP.
Think about your actions
And if your actions involve others, ask for their cooperation, IC or OC

Well, I'm not in favor of a fixed base of operations, but rather, a string of safehouses we jump to from time to time, in order to keep them from piling up.
Living on/in a mall, even though the simplest course, will just trap you there, and you won't want to move until it is too late.
Other than that, I agree almost entirely.

I agree 100% with Cornflakeistan on this one. It has gotten to the point where everyone is acting out their own storyline without regard to the other characters. Now I will be the first to admit that I haven't participated as much as I would have liked for a number of reasons (meaning that my vote doesn't carry much weight in this discussion) and one of them is the one I stated above. I have found my character in many situations where he was simply ignored and everyone just went about their business like he wasn't there. Given his experience, it seems pretty irrational to ignore him for one and for two, just being another human being should be enough to get him noticed.
Anyway, enough about my character. Another problem I am seeing is the lack of quality in some of the posts. Quick one liners are all well and good for a response to a question, but when what your character is doing involves something more in depth than speaking, try to make the post as in depth as possible. It adds to the story that way, some of the characters quite frankly aren't believable at this point (I would include my character right on the border of the line). Another thing it does is make it clear to the other characters what exactly is going on, I confess that I have been confused as to what has been going on for a while now.
So the first order of business is to come to an agreement OOC and then move on from there IC and see where it goes.

Aurigae, the posts you made so far were quality ones, so I forgive you for the low amount of them ;)
AK, I fear you ended up talking to the less-talkative characters... Try some of the other characters.
Also, has anyone heard from Osteia? He was kind of the leader of the whole group until he dissapeared...
I would have liked it if Michelle could have looked up to him a little longer. Not to mention the prospects for romance...

Name: Max Robbins
Age: 38
Bio: A member of a small , inexperienced agency, whose existence was based entirely on the whim of a superstitious Army general. It was V.A.L.O.R. (Veteran Anti-Lore Offensive Reconnaissance) primarily investigated "anomalous" incidents being flukes, and rumors that no other agency cared to waste their time on. What if the V.A.L.O.R. division were to unexpectedly to stumble across any significant threat while chasing shadows, and then suddenly, they did.
Him and his 5 man squad were supposed to inserted into this deserted town after stumbling across the city covered in ramparts and famine. It looked as if it had been sieged though without guns or artillery. It looked as a ghost town, to investigate Integers V.A.L.O.R. squad was put on point. The AH-6J littlebird during the insertion suffered freak mechanical failure and fell to the ground as it hovered nearly 60 feet from above a small downtown bar. With rappelling lines down it crashed killing the pilots and all of his squad mates except for well Max of course whom freakishly survived with only minor scratches and bruises.
As he left the downed and unexploded bird collecting ammunition and surplus of supplies off this dead comrades he tried to radio home to find his radio was cut by a piece of shrapnel in crash. His team mates radio's crushed or rendered useless out of the simple factor that the mountainous terrain around this city made it impossible to contact the outside. He was now stranded with his Integerian made G2A4, NBC suit, armoring and normal soldiers supplies along with a weeks worth of rations; his objective to find out what happened to the seemingly deserted and sieged town.

Hey People, a new party list, and updated story-so-far (up to halfway page 48, 1-dec-06, 12:05 EST)
Integer, nice opening post ;)
The list:
Format: IC name (OC name) (short description, stereotypical, and not intended to be offensive but to be recognizable if you missed the names)
"Parkade HQ" (on top of building next to parking garage):
Michelle Harrows (Cornflakeistan) (geek scouting girl)
Alex Owen (Brazilam)
Miranda Vreni (Tocrowkia) (Commando Chick)
Alec Rosman (Beta Aurigae VII) (Van Helsing the museum curator)
Zero One (Seprioth) (Umbrella team)

I have no idea... (inactives):
Jake Kertson (Scaveutland) (overran by zombies, now a bad guy, inactive?)
Mike Clay (Osteia) (The Police Officer, inactive? gone?)
Rick Breitenstine (Breitenburg) (the rockstar, inactive?)
Shaun (Hooray for Boobies) (...of the dead recreation, inactive?)
Yunis Yaman (Ravea) (muslim holy warrior, inactive?)
*end list*
Story summary:
I'll try to update the story at least a few times. It's just a short overview, and in no way a complete log of every detailed event.
Due to some unfortunate time-distorting effects of slow and/or missed posts, the list can't be exactly chronologically. I tried to group simultaneous events, but it's not a perfect solution.
Boxtown is a peacefull and happy town, filled with two million happy people. (page 1)
The power fails. Several curious people (cue: players) discover the city is being overrun by zombies.
-
A party (the "Parkade party") emerges at the Highschool/Police department: Alex, Rob, Mike, and later: Miranda and Michelle. Stone makes himself known but doesn't join.
Parkade party loots Police department for weapons.
In the Xavier-residence, Xavier teams up with John Wayne, and are reinforced by Stone on their way out in the mailvan (party code: the "mailmen").
-
The parkade party heads for the parkade (hence the name).
-
Sephrioth's Clean-up team is dropped at the police station, and just misses the Parkade group.
-
In a tree, Nathan meets Romanov in a frantic zombie slugfest. A party forms. (codename: Treeclimbers)
-
the Treeclimbers are set free by the Mailmen, the parties join forces.
-
Stone breaks of from mailmen to save Sephioths team.
Stone meets up with "Doc" Abe on his way back. The doc apperantly made the virus that caused all this.
The top of the parkade is developing into zombie-survivor-HQ. Plans are being made to fortify it.
Many, previously solo, survivors (Alec Rosman, Walter, Frank) assemble with the parkade party on top of the parkade.
-
Parkade is beginning to be converted to an HQ.
Parkade sends out a resource gathering party (Codesigned: "Harvesters", consisting of: Mike, Rob, Frank, Walter).
The kingpins fire flares, and in reply, the Mailmen as well -> Kingpin learns of existence of Mailmen, Mailman of Kingpin, Parkade of both.
Kingpins deploy UAV -> learns exact location of Parkade group and Mailmen.
Mailmen on their way to Parkade HQ.
Kingpins on their way to Parkade HQ. (~page 23)
Sephrioth joins the Parkade party with his Alfa squad, the Beta squad is still somewhere out there.
Mailmen and Kingpins join up with Parkade HQ
-
Romanov pulls a gun at Miranda ('for no particular reason but to get an explanantion of what is going on', end of page 25))
A tense situation forms as everyone readies guns at Romanov.
Michelle interposes herself in the potential firing lines and attempts to de-escalate the situation.
Through sheer 'luck', no triggers get pulled, and everyone survives.
-
Michelle mentally breaks under all the accumulated stress, picking Stone as her unfortunate emergency-release valve. (page 28)
Walter and Rob comfort Michelle. (thanks guys ;) )
-
The fortifications are finished.
Walter, also shaken by recent events, has his own, unnoticed, crying moment.
-
Barricades are breached by combined actions of Stone, Xavier, Zero-One, John and Romanov, to "relieve stress by killing a few zombies".
For a short while, the plan works and dozens of zombies are ambushed and killed.
-
Zombies overrun the breach and start flooding the parkade.
Doc Abe notices the parkade is doomed, and creates an escape route (by rope) to another building.
-
All acces ramps in the parkade are demolished to prevent the zombies from overrunning the entire parkade. (Resourcing party never left)
John gets trapped by zombies as he tries to climb up one of the holes from the demolishments.
Frank kills of the zombies trapping John with "old Betsy" and a grenade.
Unfortunately, the grenade also hits John, breaking his leg.
Frank is to exhausted to pull up John.
-
Angry with barricade breakers, Michelle heads towards the rooftop to arrange a group discussion on what to do now.
Miranda follows her.
Michelle and Miranda notice John's predicament on their way up and aided by Frank, pull John into safety.
John improvises a splint for his leg.
-
The entire group eventually gathers at the rooftop to make a plan.
The group decides to abandon the parkade for a newer, safer location.
The options are: A military weapons factory, The mall and some random house.
The decision is made to find a house for the night, and continue to the factory the next morning. The factory will be fortified an made into a 'safehouse'.
-
A ropebridge is improvised from powerlines, and the group evacuates to the house across the street (~page 42)
A plume of black smoke is seen far away in one of the suburbs, signaling a large fire. More survivors! (Cue [NS]Integer)
Stone sends his UAV at it, and discovers Max. Stone contacts him over his radio.
-
The plan is formed to make Xavier's Dad's bunker into the first "safe-house"
Stone jumps overboard into the fray of zombies and dissapears from sight. He left a radio with the Parkade group.
Stone rips apart dozens of zombies, rather violently
Stone clears out a mad cultist hide-out and saves a girl named "Rose"
At the "rooftop-next-to-the-parkade", a resourcing team is beginning to be formed (again...) (Romanov, John and Walt so far, Miranda invited*)
Rose is definately developing a romantic attraction to the big chunk of metal that saved her.
-
Night passes
-
Stone (again, yes, he's quite active at the moment) wakes up with Rose changing his bandages.
The harvesters start picking out a car
*Tocrowkia, that bold was a gift to you ;)
Ok guys since Kamasha's gonna be gone for a few days why don't we, just take a little break so some of us can catch up (not including reading Cornflakeistan's excellent overview ;)) to what has happened so far.

Fringe culture...
envisioned post apocoliptic worlds are supposedly full of them
Apparently they go totally nuts to cope with the far from normal circumstances they are in.
To be sane when the world is at an end is crazy.
You are crazy when you think you are the last sane man on earth.
'ring around the rosie, a pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down'
(The pluage [caused by fleas, rats, and cats])
Is a reminder of just how much a mass hystteria caused by an epidemic can do to a 'sane' person.
A more modern one:
"I once had a bird, its name was enza..."
(Spanish Influenza [caused by pigs and horses])
More modern
Whoopie! We're all gonna die... (Song by Joe McDonald, Woodstock)
All your base are belong to us... (anywhere, everywhere, first appeared in a video game)
Game over man! Game over! (Aliens movie)
Any Remero movie...
(Day of the dead is my reson why I dislike the idea of holin up in a military bunker...)

There are a few other examples, like that retarded dude in alien 3 (which sucked btw) who let the trapped runner alien out by opening the blast door and got himself killed along with everyone except for 3 people... moron.
Also in World War Z An Oral History, there are people who have simply lost hope and have pretty much began acting like zombies, and there is no way to fix it either for them, only they can't spread the infection and can die by bleeding and they blink, they don't freeze as easily as normal zombies do either. Also there were ferals which were pretty much fast zombies, only they used to be children who became abandoned during the great panic and they can be cured (psychologigcally speaking).

END OF OBJECTIVE SUMMARY WRITER
BEGIN SUBJECTIVE, BIASED, PERSONAL WRITINGS:
Currently, two things bother me:
1)
Miranda, please don't leave!
What motivates you to catch the bird flu???
I really looked forward to roleplaying the tension when both of us were striving for the position of Alfa-Female. Even without Osteia, that could still be RP that would burn the eyes of any mediocre RP-er trying to comprehend the beauty of it. (Yes, this is a covert compliment to your RP-ing qualities)
This RP won't be the same without you.
2)
Isa, I recall giving a treatise on "limitations" and them being important to making a cool survival scenario.
Somehow, finding a fully equiped (with a F-ing .50 cal mounted! DOUBLE U T F) humvee doesn't seem to fit that.
How on earth do you explain a fully loaded, ammo inclusive, military vehicle in the middle of town? It's not like those are scattered like candy across town, especially a sleepy town like Boxtown, Tennesee...
If this seems flamy, my apologies, but the way you keep "finding" just the thing we need to do overcome every obstacle we meet without any difficulty at all is starting to annoy me.
I have stated before, that in my opinion a survival RP is not a survival RP if you can find food, weapons, shelter, and kick-ass military vehicles by just walking around the corner of the street.
It may be convenient, but: I WANT THE DIFFICULTY, it makes this RP challenging and fun.
I must admit that your love interest is a step in the right direction, however, "finding" a military vehicle with (relatively) uber-guns attached is a step in the wrong direction imo. (At least if you find it without roleplaying a page or 5 towards obtaining it, making heavy sacrifices and displaying several brilliant feats of roleplaying ingenuity)
Dixi.

Isa, you seem to miss my point.
Even if there is a military base, and even if a patrol of soldiers did indeed drive it into town (which I doubt, since the scenario given by Kamasha so far hasn't said anything about us meeting or hearing of soldiers), it is still "unlimiting" to find a hummer.
What is more challenging?
A) Running from cover to cover, ever frightfull of more zombies coming your way, and using clever tactics to evade the larger groups, hoping you won't encounter more than you can handle around the corner.
B) Gunning through town (both engine-wise as weapon-wise) on the practically invulnerable army vehicle you just gave yourself.
And according to my earlier "more challenge = more fun" argument, option A is also the more fun to roleplay.
It's okay to eventually get something like a hummer, but the idea is that it's a valuable object, and therefore should require much 'work' (read: (good) roleplaying) to obtain. It's like a sort of reward system, only you yourself are the one giving out the rewards.
Not only does it make the 'object' more valuable (or the satisfaction of getting it more satisfying), but you have also roleplayed a great story to get it. It's a double win.

Currently, two things bother me:
1)
Miranda, please don't leave!
What motivates you to catch the bird flu???
I really looked forward to roleplaying the tension when both of us were striving for the position of Alfa-Female. Even without Osteia, that could still be RP that would burn the eyes of any mediocre RP-er trying to comprehend the beauty of it. (Yes, this is a covert compliment to your RP-ing qualities)
This RP won't be the same without you.
*Shrug*
It's nothing personal against anyone, the RP is simply getting too disorganized and hard for me to follow. And when I don't know what's going on, it tends to degrade the quality of my posts. I really haven't contributed anything worthwhile to the RPG since Mid-November.
But for your sake, I'll give it one more go. :fluffle:

Tocrowkia, having been out of it for a while isn't that bad. The story hasn't advanced that much since November anyways, so you can still easily fit in.
If we all just decide to ignore the bird flu thing (two deadly virusses in one scenario? might be a bit to much ;) ), there's no harm done, is there?
*Shrug*
But for your sake, I'll give it one more go. :fluffle:
Yay, thanks!

Isa, May I suggest you slow things down a little with rose?
Even if it has taken a week of out-game time, in-game, you have met, rescued, bedded and made "sexytime" with Rose in less than 10 hours, and you are about to do "it" again...
Even considering the unusual circumstance modifyers ( "last man on earth" and the like) for falling-in-love, that seems a bit fast...
Also, but this part is _purely_ personal, I find the choice of location for the second time a bit...
kinky? (especially for a PG 13 forum, but that's for mods to decide...)
I mean, come on, there are freaking undead semblances of people you probably knew, with no other remaining desire but to kill and eat you, about 2 feet of air and an inch of wood away... and you want to have sex?

ISA.... I am awestruck at Stone's amazing abilities. Not only is he a supersoldier, he can woo a woman in hours, make 'sexytime' with an injured legs, tear off zombie heads with 2 fingers, AND develop photographs. What kinds of things are you teaching your soldiers?!?!

your ok
you find what he made when Rose ask him
if i know the changes Kamesha made to my idea i would have something to go by
dam should have used photographic as a class for Roses and not business
art,history and photographic looks better to late
