Hello International Incidents, I am going to be starting a new RP soon about a zombie type out break with in my nation primarily located within one city (Stanton) however this may change depending on the twists of the story.

The name of the story RP will be The Infection, and will start at a run-down farm near a major city police and policing agencies will investigate the death of the family and from there an outbreak of zombisim will begin to spread to the nearby city, resulting in many horrific scenes of zombie feastings and pulse racing close calls for our hero’s be they stranded policemen, armed gangs who find themselves suddenly the saviours of a city fighting the new terror instead being the terrorisers of it, or just Joe Public out for a walk/shopping trip/date and finds themselves suddenly fighting for survival in a world descending into a hellish nightmare.

The zombies will have two states of existence, the first is dormant an state in which they are not hunting prey and appear to shuffle around in awkward lurching steps and the second is aggressive or active in which they have identified prey of have been alerted to the presence of prey by the screams and wails of other zombies in this state they are fast, able to run and even sprint and jump after unfortunate prey caught in the chase.

In the case of the dormant zombies there general heath in a pre-infected state has little effect on their movement as they move very slowly however in the second state of aggressive or active then their previous existence will have a much greater impact in that a fat person as a zombie will not be able to run as fast as or have the balance of a previously athletically inclined person who is then infected.

Military intervention may and take place by external nations however in-character posts requesting permission for such actions and a post accepting the action should always precede a post detailing the outcome of these actions

If you are at all interested in taking part in such a story and are able to make posts of more than one line then please show your interest here.

Thank you.

Thats a good idea, but try looking up zombie threads and join one. It would be nice to start a new one but its really hard so i suggest you just join one.

There are several of these made, but I'm game for another

Would a tourist from another nation be acceptable?

I guess I'll join to. Military sniper seargent.

I'll get a write up shortly, if a tourist is allowed

Yeah tourists would be fine as well as the foreign sniper may be as part of a foreign forces depolyment to help deal with the outbreak

Btw im very interested to join if possible.

Also i would like to point out an idea.
Zombies like those in the game Left 4 Dead,would be very good.like many diferent types,etc. Smoker(tongue thing),Witch-doll thing(hostile when in light),Boomer(huge mutated zombie),Hunter(Agile zombie,can jump,run fast and similar shit)and ordinary slow ones.Also all are allerted when to noise and they are tracing the source of the noise.
Thanks for reading.

ill join, i like the left 4 dead idea, it would be better to have a thread with more variation.
the dormant/aggressive state thing is good too

*tag

I'm interested, but I'll get back to you on that because of RL priorities at the moment.

I don't know anything about Left for Dead, so someone would need to do a write up on the different sorts should CI decide to go with those variants as well- the dormant/ active versionsounds very plausible to me and gives us bit more of a challenge. The hieghtened senses of hearing and smell for tracking also add to that challenge.


Questions for Cotton Isles -

1) What tech is this set in Modern Tech ( MT ) or Post Modern Tech ( PMT )

2) Can our characters have minor 'abilities outside the norm"? Say with your appoval so they don't get too over the top, of course

Hmmm, whom to bring...

Tanara
It would be modern tech stuff though that will include NS designs for MT if you character or nation has any.

As for special abilities, do you mean telepathic/ psychic abilities or more like good reflexes and a fast draw.

Cukarica
I’m not too keen on the mutations though other than that I don’t see a problem if you want to include them in some way.

Zombies/Infection
To begin the infection will be spread through bites from a zombie or the exchange of blood or bodily fluids with a zombie or infected person. The first stage of infection would last from a few seconds to day in which, dependant on the wound, the person’s blood would feel like it was on fire spreading extreme pain throughout the whole body. The eyes fill with blood during this stage as well as blood seeping from mouth, ears and tear ducts.
After that the skin slowly losses pigmentation and turns grey the eyes turn black as the blood in them begins to congeal. Clothing would wear to taters and as more and more people become infect zombie “communities” or packs begin to form around hunting grounds in which survivors are trapped in buildings or fortifications.

I’d like to make a start on the RP on Wednesday or Thursday evening so if everyone that is interested and wants to take part could make a post by then ill TG them a like to the story thread, thank you.

As for special abilities, do you mean telepathic/ psychic abilities or more like good reflexes and a fast draw.

The first = telepathic/ psychic abilities = I don't feel that high end, to slightly above Olympic best, can really be considered 'special abilities'

Do left4dead. I saw a trailer today. It was cool.

I'll be a tourist with a pistol on second thought.

Well then lets stick to your plan,as i was just pointing out some ideas.

I like the left4dead idea. I was just saying that I was going to be a tourist

I was responding to Cotton isles,my mistake as i didn't quote him,my apologies.

I don't know anything about Left for Dead,

Screw prefferances, I did lady-sniper as a re-occuring character/theme.

And that isn't easy to do, especially when trying to avoid pr0n scene-refferances in an RP-forum dominated by male characters, particularilly when she's fighting you for the soap; trying to keep everyone focused on the fact that she's trying to kill the other players gets rather difficult.
(Especially when you hear one of the other characters is a ball-cutting, testicle-eating parody of Borat)

If you're not ready for that, try and do each and every one of the village people.

Being as this is what I am good at...

Heres some info on the Left4Dead zombies so you can make pole or debate about them.
This info and pictures were taken from Left4Dead wiki (http://left4dead.wikia.com/),as i didn't had time to write,and probably this will give you a better description then my writing.
Also Thanks for reading this.


Common Infected
http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/left4dead/images//c/c4/Left4dead036.jpg
Common Infected are the most commonly-faced enemy and they are the easiest to defeat. They are completely AI-controlled and fairly weak. Their strength lies in the fact they attack in groups sometimes as large as several dozen, known as hordes. While they seem capable of ignoring pain, they can still be killed easily. They are capable of climbing ladders and scaling objects.

Hordes
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/left4dead/images//thumb/d/d6/The_Horde_Intro.jpg/300px-The_Horde_Intro.jpg

Hordes are large groups of common Infected that will rush the Survivors at random intervals, after triggering a car alarm or other Panic Event, during a Finale and during the aftermath of a sucessful Boomer vomit attack.

The Witch
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/left4dead/images//1/16/Witch-artwork.jpg

The Witch appears only once or twice per campaign, and is passive unless provoked by flashlights, gunfire, or Survivors getting too close. She is very powerful and is capable of killing players with a single attack as well as sustaining much damage before dying. While the Witch can be killed, it is best to avoid startling her unless absolutely necessary.


The Screamer

http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Screamer.png

The Screamer is a cut unplayable Special Infected that would have appeared one or more times per map. It would wander around until it came in contact with the survivors. Once it saw them, it would quickly run away and hide. When it was successfully hidden, it would let out a scream that would attract the horde.

During testing, play testers complained that the Screamer would end up being too hard to spot in a crowd of infected. Its horde-attracting scream ended up evolving into the Boomer's vomit.

The Boomer
http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Boomer-artwork.gif
he Boomer is an Infected that spits vomit at survivors, which blinds them and draws other infected to them. At a distance, the Boomer is little threat, since he is extremely slow. However, he can vomit on Survivors, attracting the Horde. When he dies, he explodes and covers any Survivors who are close enough in bile. If a Boomer is killed while close to a survivor, the player loses control for a few seconds and stumbles away from the now dead boomer.

The Hunter
http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Hunter-artwork.gif
The Hunter is extremely similar to the fast zombies from Half-Life 2, although far less charred. The Hunter is extremely quick and agile, and is capable of scaling walls. Additionally, he can pounce players and pin them down until killed or shoved off by another Survivor. Since this "class" is extremely agile, he is also physically weak and cannot take much gunfire.

The Smoker
http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Smoker-artwork.gif
The Smoker is an ambush class who can strangle Survivors with his long tongue, similar to Half-Life's Barnacle. The help of another survivor is required to escape from a Smoker's hold. As his name implies, Smokers can emit smoke to impair Survivors' vision and voice communication when in danger, or automatically when killed. The Smoker can drag players that he has captured with his tongue, towards himself. The smoker remains stationary and cannot move for a few seconds after having his tongue removed from his captive by another survivor.

The Tank
http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Tank-artwork.gif
The Tank is the strongest of Boss Infected. Although not as fast as a hunter, the tank can move as fast as a survivor at full health and has incredible strength and resistance. To counter this overwhelming advantage, the Tank has a frustration meter that goes up whenever the Survivors aren't in view. When the meter is full, the player loses control of the Tank. The Tank is capable of throwing large objects with sufficient force to injure Survivors.

I'd suggest eliminating the boomers, smokers, and tanks. And give the capabilities of screamer/hunter/witch to all basics as an option (but then again, zombies don't run too well when they had their legs ripped off while struggling to survive as humans).

The prevalence of neck/chest damage inflicted when 'turning' a victim would make screamers quite rare, for example.

Lost a foot? Can't balance because yo lost your ears? Can't hear the survivor's boomstick in the distance? Looks like you can't run and jump with the hunters...

Blind? Either go cower in a corner or follow the sound of the mob...

Course, after awhile, a few zekes may see the benefit of killing while causing the least damage and to not 'feast' on the newbie. Thus encouraging a screaming-hunter.

Then there's PKers/cannibals/raiders, AKA: the human threat.

Interesting concept to be honest,that would probably prove itself very effective and fun.

Well it's Cotton Isles's choice, but I don't think he was going to have any of these AI controlled.

AI controll mentioned in my post is there only because i used Left4Dead wiki to point out these Zombie "classes".As i is a computer game that's why AI was mentioned.

Been at the horror/zombie RP thing on NS long enough that not only did I want difficulty, but epic realism...

Eventually, zombies will use sniper-rifles and tanks*... Or at least use trucks as battering-rams... The value of a tank is limited once they run out of fuel/ammo or their armor is compromised...

Because, as frightening as a zeke throwing pavement is... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF1HVlcXBmA)
Getting chased by a "ghost car" with a zeke holding a shotgun out the moon-roof, at night, laughing and screaming, with the rest of the horde converging on your position...
That, is terrifying and/or funny, because boomstick+car is much more lethal, it only funny because it's being used by undead cripples**.

*May take a few months though...
**When you're missing more than one limb, I'd consider you crippled, and if dead and moving, you're an undead cripple, and since -as already outlibned- zombie-injuries are quite high, the vehicle is likely to be driven by a one-armed zeke with no eyes taking directions from another zeke that was an unlucky human trying to cross a minefield...
And the one popping caps? He's got sawed in half with some 00 Buckshot...

Um... are you sure that's a good idea?
In my recent zombie-RP I was a one-armed man with a revolver and crowbar...*

Before that, I was an infected welder with a bad cough...

I don't RP to make things "easy", I make things "interesting", and since this is a survival RP, "fun=interesting=difficult".

*And you fucking teamkilled me... (http://cad-comic.com/sillies.php?d=20081115) :mad:

Haha yup! Good to see you'll be in this too. I think the odds just became a little long for the zeds =)And if I start as a zeke?

But I'm unlikely to be in this RP, since I have to keep track of a similar 1968 PT RP of the same general premise, and that takes time to time-warp your head back to that period...

Going back and forth = insanity

Yeah I'll agree with you there. And if you played a zombie, well, my character would look really sad before pulling the trigger and then feel bad for a while after :tongue: Ah well, maybe next time there's a zombie doomsday thread then.

Well, as my current RPs are winding down, others are already wound-up, and pretty much all of those require me to remember whatever the hell I was thinking in August 2006* if I even want a remote chance of remaining in-character.

As for the zombies if you want to RP your character coming across a mutated zombie that is fine but for the most part I’m going to stay with the type of zombie that mopes about until it finds a victim and then it goes ape shit trying to kill/turn the victim.

edit; Everyone invited will be given 24 hours to post before missing a turn. Shenyang I left an invite on your forum profile because I couldn't link to your nation page.

Makes you feel like shit, don't it?

On the other hand, by not RPing a "pro", you have less pressure to remain morally straight when society goes to hell, more chances to be creative, and less of a headache trying to introduce yourself.

On the other hand, nobody expects civies to survive because "they don't know anything", and in all reality, they generally only do knee-jerk reactions and have a tendancy to starve to death once the stores close.

Uh.. thanks?

I'd like to say "it's all in the wrist"... Or that it comes with experiance, or watching WAY too many action movies...

It doesn't. That just fills your head with ideas to work with... Now how to implement those ideas, that's the hard part...

1- Keep movements fluid, so no moving like a lagger, if there's a plot-hole, fill it in. If you're fellow seems to be teleporting around the map, you missed a step, go back and take those steps first.

2- Don't have him do something unrealistic, like leaping tall buildings (doing something super-humanly difficult), then landing in a wet paper bag and unable to fight his way out (Getting pwned by a 5 yr old girl) on a regular basis. As lulzy as it seems, it gets old quite fast.

3- Everyone makes mistakes (My guy shot himself when he tripped, remember?)

4- Don't do insane stuff, ppl will generally point out when another character is doing something that makes no sense, figure out why it doesn't, then see suggestion #3 and continue.
-There are also some "elephant in the room" insane-actions, like misinterpreting someones words which causes a chain of events totally unrealistic. The best way is to treat it like a certain award for finding a flaw in a comic-book plot, and then solving it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-Prize)
(Pudites no likey papercuts, thus a half-ton of leaflets managed to kill a hundred of them, as they took cover in nuclear-blast-proof bunkers)

I guess my character will be a president of a pharmacutical company based in Heaven hieghts, who is on a buisness trip.
