It’s my honor to co-GM with Mt. Id and Hurtful Thoughts: Welcome to Overrun 2. Die with honor.
Tom is back, and he brought his platoon from Telz with him this time 20 handpicked from the TISSOPS, his old platoon went to selection and all graduated together and volunteered for the mission. I'll post a load out link when I get it done. No worries Mt&HT. I'll keep it real.
No Ash though :( Crazy ass was fun to RP with.
And where the hell is Mason? I left it open for him to either reassign to the new RP or just be reassigned completely I hope he comes back.
FNG's: Keep it in mind that it might be cool to roll deep with a Panzershriek and a napalm flame thrower but think of resupply and mobility. Also keep practicality in mind. When Hurtful Thoughts starts digging through your bung because you have all throwing knives and chainmail armor don't say you weren't warned, ask 101'st. We dug through his bung and found light at the top of his head for some of his gear and posts; primarily he didn’t read up prior to entering late in the RP. But he recovered and is ready to hit it twice as hard this time right Homie?
Keep in mind that HT will be active and he will be dropping us twisted ideas on the horde and the infection itself. Not to mention diming people out left and right for inconsistencies, and gear that just wouldn't work in the situation, trust us he’s good.
We absolutely have no issues with people RPing with multiple characters. Mason from the other RP had an entire Company of light Infantry. But if you're going to make them Front running characters you need a character sheet for them. But if it's random private/citizen 2 then no worries.

Okay folks remember keep your groups tight and your reflex sights zeroed we’ll see you on the ground!

Mt., what are we doing with human psyonic abilities? Telepathy, pyrokenisis, etc?

I think it would complicate things overly much for other characters, and addressing limits would be difficult but do able.
Conversely if the SZ's have it to communicate with then shouldn't we have something to block that?

Kagetora;14414435']Now I have no authority on this, but I would imagine that your character(s) would often have to be taken over by the mods

I figured as much. I was looking at it more along the lines of keeping my character slightly removed from the main action, following along in a more single person survival oriented story, doing what he can to catch up to the rest of the survivors.

Mt Id
19-01-2009, 16:23
that will work, MO.

Telz, sorry bud. You got it a bit off. This isn't another virus. Gotta keep it interesting for the returning members. lol.

Here's how it goes: the survivors of the first attack have all been quarantined inside a safe site in Mt. Id until the side effects of the cure can be countered or just fade away. This is where all players will start out.

The cause of this second wave is actually experimentation by an underground group called the Meta Force. They believe that human's are capable of more than what they currently do so they perform experiments attempting to increase a human's potential. Unfortunately, these experiments require live humans to test on, hence why they are underground as the government of Mt. Id has constantly tried to shut them down.

Their most recent experiment involves increasing the brain waves of a human to a point where telepathy and telekinesis is possible. Something went horribly wrong however when they created a machine that was supposed to work on one person. Faulty wiring created a power loop inside the machine and it continued to store up power until it discharged and sent the modifying waves across the entire city. One of the players is actually part of the early experiment.

This discharge affects many of the cities inhabitants but not in the way the scientists had planned. It gives them telepathic powers all right, but also screws with their brain patterns causing them to desire human flesh as sustenance. It affects different people different ways. Many of the older members will remember this set up:

Basic: Simple creatures with only receiving telepathic powers. Their normal brain functions have been shut down and the only purpose they have is to hunt out living flesh. They can easily be controlled by another telepath with stronger powers.

Brute: Creatures with receiving telepathy but also with strong telekinesis. Their brain functions haven't been shut down quite as much as a basic but they still have trouble thinking for themselves. Can use their telekinesis to increase the strength of their muscles.

Intelligents: Creatures with sending and receiving telepathy far beyond the brutes and basics. These are the ones with most of their intelligence still intact but at the cost of their physical strengths.

And last but not least:

Super Zed: These are the most powerful creatures created by the machine. These are the ones where the machine did what it was supposed to do. They keep their intelligence along with their physical prowess in addition to receiving telepathic powers. They have sending and receiving telepathy along with telekinesis. The only difference between these creatures and what the scientists wanted is the desire for living flesh.

Phew that took awhile to type. Any questions?

I'm thinking that maybe William (my character) is a Super Zed but with a limited desire for flesh. So he can eat normal human food but what he really longs for his human flesh, but he tries to control it because he hates himself and what he is: a zombie, essentially. Kind of like a guy with a sweet, sweet candy tooth. Except it's a flesh tooth. Gross.

Before I toss up my character bio and post in the IC, a few questions:

What is the gun culture? Is it free, easy going, everyone and anyone can own? Or overly uptight?

What type of gun stores does the host nation have? Say my character found a gun store. Would he be walking into:
1. A small, hunting oriented store. A few single shot shot guns, maybe some pump actions, and if he's lucky a decent long gun.
2. A smallish, mom and pop style store. Mostly hunting style rifles, maybe some pump action shot guns, and a hand full of older milsurp weaponry, SKSes and Mossin Nagants stuck in a corner. At a front counter, a paltry collection of used hand guns for self defense, maybe a Glock or Sig if our character is really lucky. A small, paltry ammo selection with some specialized self defense rounds, but mostly just basic cheap WWB ammo.
3. The gun counter at a sporting goods store, with a small selection of new hand guns, and a larger selection of shotguns and rifles. Some pump action, some semi auto shotguns, and maybe a basic AR or two. Semi auto and bolt action long guns in various calibers, and an aisle or two dedicated to shooting sports and goods.
4. A legitimate gun store. A large selection of hand guns, rifles, and shot guns. A decent number of ARs and AKs, pump action and semi auto shotguns of various makes and gauges, bolt action long guns, Milsurp weapons of many nations, and a few of the more exotic boom sticks, i.e. Civi legals Augs and P90s. Aisles upon aisles of ammunition, of all different brands and types. All and sundry of fire arm related goods, weapon attachments, extra magazines and clips, slings, holsters, Bug Out Bags, and other survival related goods.

If someone wanted to bring a gun into the host nation, what are the restrictions, and how would he go about doing it.

What type of nation is it? Modern tech, I assume, with hints of post modern? Is it all built up, all major cities connected by interstates, or are their still small towns and cities in between larger ones? Or is it all small towns and not much else? What is the general culture? Do they like drinking, i.e., would a themed bar do well there?

I've read the basic descriptions of the zombies, but exactly what type of zombies are they? The generally accepted slow, lumbering Romero/WWZ/Dead Rising style zombies that simply attack en mass, but aren't very fast or capable of communication? Or are they the running just as smart like normal humans ala Left 4 Dead or teh 28 (time period) Later rage virus zombies?

and MO:

Most guns stores in Mt. Id are more like military surplus. You'll find a wide range of weaponry from assault rifles to pistols. No heavy munitions however so don't try bringing a bazooka or something.

And if you'll read the plot summary I made I believe it says that your character is a survivor from the original attack so basically pick your weapon.

Mt Id
20-01-2009, 16:27
Ok, since there has been some confusion, let me spell it all out from the beginning:

In the first RP, Zombie Overrun 1, the city of Merue in Mt. Id was using a new power source called Zinium that wasn't exactly safe. It's waste material could turn people into human flesh eaters. As long as it was kept away from people, everything was ok. But one day, the waste leaked into the sewer system and from there into the rest of the water supply. It started affecting people and turning them into zombies which then went out and bit other people to spread the infection even more.

The government established a perimeter around the town that let nothing in or out. There was a group inside the city that had been researching Zinium and discovered its harmful possibilities but which was unable to get the information out before the attack happened. Michael (also part of overrun 2) was able to get the information out using a TV station transceiver before running for his life.

The Mt. Id government used the information to create a cure and put it in gaseous form so that it would go everywhere possible. Unfortunately, they rushed the production to save as many people as possible and thus were unable to remove the side effects that affected even the survivors. The survivors were knocked out and the government was forced to quarantine them incase they had some sort of contagion that could either start the virus up again or something that the cure might have caused. All the survivors that could be found were transported to another city (Also in Mt. Id) where they have been kept in lockdown for a while.

In this new outbreak (Which HASN'T happened IC yet), an underground research group have been performing illegal experiments on people dealing with bran waves which eventually leads to the creation of zombies.

Make sense now?

20-01-2009, 21:02
(Hey Telz, I can't do nothing until I figure out where the crap you are. lol

I'm in an isolation unit right next to the main unit:

{_______}<main unit. Me> {__}

So we're all squared away here? Just in case were not I'll take some liberties:

You are all in a opaque plastic circus tent. Measures approximately 40x40 FT. Air is being recycled through a vent in the ceiling that is 20 FT. above you. Even the floor is lined with the plastic. The plastic is very heavy and very thick, cant cut through it. The door is a series of zippered flaps with only one set on your side. The other sets are inaccessible no matter how hard you try. You can see hazy shadows of guards standing just outside the series of doors, they look armed and do not respond to any of your questions or requests. You have all of your load bearing equipment but none of the items that were in it prior to your quarantine. There is a cot per person with a pile of the scratchy recycled wool blankets that governments are so fond of in one corner. It's psyonically enforced so no mental powers in or out, you have a limit to 8 inches past your personal "bubble" or your immediate area; such is the dampening field. No weapons of any sort are inside (just to reiterate). Your collective governments have been told and in the tradition of all government issues of this nature they know but wont say anything. Your families have been told you're in a hospital in a remote region and you are fine so far as they know, any other inquiries are stone walled. Overrun 1 people I would say you have a choice of uniform. My last post in Overrun 1 was limited to my immediate area of influence and only encompassed me and Mason getting on a VTOL but it would not be out of the realm of possibility to say that you were like wise picked up and offered to change into your military's uniform (just an option, but keep in mind that you wont have any weapons, such as the garroting wire Tom usually replaced his boot laces with etc.) also I recommend getting DAZ 3d, I'm working on it for RP characters and it helps for load outs and over all idea of what your character looks like etc. Not by any means required just a suggestion, after all what are nerd games if you can't go all out?

Did I miss anything Mt or go out of bounds?

K, the cell seems to be holding-out pretty well, by now any 'intellegent' observer would order a retreat, and try and organize a volley-fire ambush for those who venture outside.

Any supers would likely be employed as "sharpshooters" or drivers (due to required inititive), though likely not as good as trained 'live' shooters, they'd still be quite deadly.

This is a character RP. You have one character, and "role-play", or tell, what your character does. You cannot have any more than two characters in my opinion, which isn't all that great. Ten is ludicrous. Three is pushing it. Five is ridiculous.

(Sorry bud. Can't let you control a freaking horde. That's what a Super Zed is for)

The zombies resisted the suggestion. Here was fresh meat right in front of them. One mind could not control their urge.

Michael ran up after the shots were fired at William. "What the hell is going on?" He asked before the horde starting running towards them. "Damn it!" He picked up a fallen assault rifle to replace his pistol and started shooting while he ran towards the other survivors. He organized a defense with the meleers a line behind the shooters. Once the horde got to close, those with swords and other close quarters weapons moved in and fought off the remaining.

Once the horde subsided Michael took a breather and looked around at everyone. Many of the survivors had fallen but around 20 remained. He then looked at the burning helicopters and called out "Would somebody mind explaining to me WHAT THE FUCK is going on up here? I leave you people alone for a few minutes and this is what happens?"

Now my guy looks like a freaking noob. Nice going. It just would have been once because he's so frustrated, and wants to prove himself.

Oh no... what have I done... William sprinted back as fast as he could (faster than most humans) and looked back. Zombies. The old hatred and fear of them came, but then he realized it was different. I am them, they are me. He took a closer look.
That paragraph reminded me of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ04zLXc1TQ).

Have 'Will' say hello to 'Charlie' BTW... (http://www.thezombiehunters.com/index.php?strip_id=86)
Note recent bite on arm and the fact that nobody is concerned.

BTW, he kills by punching zombies in the face, like some old-guy RAMBO.

Hey I killed off my people I only have two now, and I will change the shotgun to a twelve gauge. This is my first time with a zombie rp ever.
Expect to get eaten, because chances are your men haven't done much zombie-hunting themselves, just watching the 'training vids'...

Watching a video of it being done and doing are two different things, especially if you blinked while watching the video. Because since your RPing survival, blinking means death.

So yeah, 80% of your forces just blinked...

I suggest you study Massad Ayoob's teachings* for CQB with a longarm...
Otherwise you may get a claw-hammer through the skull round that next corner...
Low-ready position and creeping along the corners kills...

Why? your arms are extended, they have no slack, zeke grabs and pulls, your head is now served on silver platter, pulling trigger, at best, will merely land a bullet in his leg, he'll then take your gun or drag you with him.
In short, real easy way to get fucked in the non-sexual bad way...

High-ready is different, your arms have slack, barrel is pointing up and slightly out... He grabs, you extend arms and land a 1 oz slug up the brainpan...
Bonus points since it nearly same as bayonet ready position...
Stock to groin/jaw or bayonet to neck... your choice...

Don't hug the gun too close though, a bear-hug tends to counter the high ready unless you can brain them quickly...

Listen to HT, Masad is a demi-god in my world, not a drill or field problem goes by without hearing his name whispered reverently. The only one higher in certain circles is Hathcock or Rogers. If and when you're good enough you can clear an entire house of heavily armed men with a claw hammer. You can also use a framing hammer, or a crow bar for the reach.

Also keep this in mind. No matter what if you do things correct you will survive in one form or another. Make it challenging. I'm not done reading yet and you guys are blowing this thread up! You're rock'in it! This should be an awesome RP. Maybe, maybe Zombie Overrun 3 will be just as fast and furious! You guys are doing awesome!

Ask Mt and HT they've been around for awhile. I have real world training that makes me the adviser, I epically fail when I try to GM (Mt. is tutoring me) so you wont hear too much from me in the IC, I just kind of run around and kill zombies and pick up a squad or platoon here and there.

Kinda funny when hollywood had it 'half-right' with the "high starsky", but employed it fairly incorrectly by bunching up alongside walls or in doorframes.

Bullets richotet, standing in the doorframe silhoetts you, and prevents budies from getting in; but all that does certainly look cool when you only have 2 main characters who are any good with a gun (the rest of the cast learned from the imperial school of marksmanship, so forcing them to save their dakka for the heroes to use makes sense).

Now everything on TV involves either low-hold or letting it hang-loose in a 3point sling* (oh god, the messes you can get into if someone/something grabs your sling... Especially if you can't get out of it...)

*Even employing it during a room-clearing in some scenes.

This may be due to the fact that most people learn "tactical" from FPS and RTS-combat games, in which their movements are limited to 16 actions or less to conserve bandwidth/download size (reload, jump, crouch, fire, aim-up, aim-down, throw, crawl, idle, change weapon, knife1, knife2).
Yeah, America's Army (game) suffers from the same thing apparently...

So yep, teh graphic interpretation of what the other fuckers are doing in-game is still shit compared to RL. (IE, 'campers' vs 'AFK')

Pretty much, to RP is to 'know what you're doing' intimately enough to describe it to any old puke in the room. Even if the idea is flawed, youi can still make it work by going into enough detail and hoping nobody knows better.

Doing the 'wrong' thing and having to deal with it is much prefferable in an RP than to keep it out juicy details under the assumption that "your charcters are perfect", although both techniques can be used. Citing why also helps the other fellows get the gist of what you were trying to describe.

The downside is, now Telz think Imma terrorist trolling the interwebs for tactical. Even though I apparently raided the library already.

After the room was cleared Richards and Jimmy walked over to the group of survivors. Richards spoke first "What should we do with that guy William? I had no idea he was a zombie but he seemed ready to help us. Maybe he can help us fight the Zombies in some way. What do you guys think?"

I think information should be free. The government should be terrified of it's people and that should keep them in line and keep them from doing what they've done. IMO.

Also HT is absolutely correct. If you can't thrill them with style baffle them with bullshit. That's why I do those massive super man posts so I can put in as much detail as possible. That way everyone knows exactly what I'm doing. I read every post even 101st's :D Poor guy.

If they see your post and can't think of a counter, they fail.

There actually is a ceratin "game" that predated RPs, in which works like a twisted, no-bounds version of "rock-paper-scissors" (Raptor-jesus versus Chuck Norris, winner then gets pwned by Zombie-Reagan, followed by zombie-Stalin, and ultimately Gorbechev saves the day with Peristokia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew9YQVRSlHE)).

Kage,

Well speaking some is better than none. I do speak Japanese and so does Tom by extension. I don't usually write it up on the RP's because it's in considerate to others that don't speak it. I think we made the point that your character's heritage is along paralell lines as that of OUR Japanese culture here in the real world.

That said: I will shoot Stalin Zombies before I take out any other zombies, even at the detriment of my and my characters safety. Creepy and definitely some serious what the fuck!

Mt. question,
Would it totally screw your plot line up if I drug everyone back down and consolidated them in the compound we just escaped from and sent out recon parties to pick up supplies and look for new and more fortifiable positions? For logisitics purposes if nothing else. Kind of like an in game reset. You know when you hit "`" and type in "reset_NPC_1" in the old PC games and they all go back to they're starting position? That way there wont be as much confusion and we can all stratigize and come up with some Zombie bustin' stratigization.

Just to start getting all of the OOC chatter of the IC thread...

"You had better go and join them," William muttered weakly and puked. "Don't want to become... a meal." He spoke directly to Tom and watched the action. This time I WON'T get involved. I always seem to screw things up. This time it WON'T be my fault. But they'll probably blame me for it anyway.

Oh, what the heck. William lit the cigarette on his second try and took a snuff. "Whoa..." he said, immediately throwing it away on instinct. Not only did it have a strong human scent on it, but... this is what cigarettes taste like?

"Oh, sorry about that, sir, Tom," he rather mumbled. "Thanks for the cigarrette... and I guess you may know what it would be like to be in my situation." William looked up at him from his seat on the ground. "It just feels like... no one understands. And no one ever will. And now we're out here, in the middle of a desolated city filled with the now-ruined souls of people long gone. I don't know what is wrong with this world." He let out a sob. "I just don't."

He was doing research on improving the human race like increased toughness, higher metabolism, etc. His research was funded by the government until it was discovered he was using live humans in his experiments but labeling them as "highly developed monkeys". His research was promptly terminated and his license was revoked. He left in a flurry of scandal and was not heard from again...at least until Meta Force showed up.

Meta Force: A rouge group of scientist who operate outside the law supposedly for the "benefit of humanity". They use live humans that they kidnap and drag to their centers to run tests and experiments on while attempting to increase a human's lifespan, energy, or any number of things. The government of Mt.

Mt Id
23-01-2009, 04:01
The color selector is the fourth and fifth button on the top row. The fourth is called the fuzzy select tool and that allows you to take the colors in the background out while leaving the rest by selecting only that color.

And the animations are actually rather simple.

Lets say you want to make one image move across the screen.

Basically all you do is make each layer a frame. Like that lighting bolt one, i had one image of a bolt which I cut down to a small section for the first layer. Then for the next layer I cut out less. And less and less until I got the full bolt. Then I went into the Layers dialog under:

Dialog->Layers

Up in the menu bar. Each layer should have its own name like layer 1, layer 2, etc. What you do is double click the layer to modify the attributes of the layer (the name will highlight and you can type in the box.). Type in "(1000ms)" or 10ms or 50ms whichever fits the time you want the image to show, and then press Enter. if you don't press enter the changes won't be saved.

Keep in mind that once you start doing this each layer will have a time added to it so get your base image set and flatten it to one layer before you start adding the animations.

Once you're done save it as a .gif and a window will pop up saying Export or whatever. Export it and save it as animation. This'll give you your animated image :D

Gotcha. I'll post up.

I'm Godmodding this one with a few adds of my own.

RPer's are Looking at:
40-80 Survivors, fully functional.
20-25 Nonfunctioning survivors, wounded, head cases, etc.

Arms are scarce as we're in the "Business" part of town. What better place to have a secret government quarantine facility than to have a front as a Starbucks? (Or whatever Mt says it is.)

Patrols consist of 4-6 with arms and full ammo load outs.

The "compound" is being continually raided for supplies so there are trickle patrols going back and forth to it.

New BOA [Base of Operations]:

We've posted up in an abandoned bank, single story with access to the roof. Mt. Is the "infection" like that in I am Legend where there is an associated mortality rate from the blast radius?

The base is about 7,000 square feet and the offices have been taken over to provide "offices" for planning, sleeping, triage, surgery, research, etc. The main waiting area, the place where you stand for hours and wait to cash your pay check on Friday, is the "In processing" area for any stragglers and is heavily guarded. There are snipers on the roof in 24 hour rotating shifts, 4 at a time. We have very short range walkie-talkies for local use (effective in the game area only, no outside nation to nation or even state to nation commo. This is excluding Tom's Dick Tracy watch, which is only one way and about as useless as tits on bacon.).

No heavy weapons as of yet, everything is military issue assault rifles* only [Semi, 3 Rd Burst, Full Auto]. Weapons allowed are all weapons currently in service by real world military's AA12's will be distributed by Mt and will have as much ammo as he says they have no more, or they will have a catastrophic failure and blow up. Sniper rifles are also standard military issue for real world global militarys and are not to exceed .50, that means NO 25mm South African 'Butchers' http://theregiment.ca/kevinch2.jpg. AVIR's are cool so I picked those for Telz National primary weapon and if he comes out with anything heavier that's as cool as those AVIR's it's on my Nations vehicles as fast as he can produce them.http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=550850

Sound good? Good.

Also some military culture for you. The word POG or POAG [sounds like rogue] IS the worst possible thing any military personnel can call someone or be called. I've personally seen people be called a string of profanities that would make Satan proud and not flinch but when they were called a POAG they punched the other, higher ranking person until they were pulled off, court martialed and confined for three days. Then the NCO was dully punished and kicked out for emotional and verbal abuse of a soldier. In any case I wanted you as mostly civilians to understand the gravity of this and don't go calling Soldier, Marines, or anyone else that fights for a living this filth saturated word. Just a friendly reminder and tidbit from Telz.

*Lets break this down Barney style. An assault rifle is any rifle that has a setting or is primarily set to deliver mutiple bullets with a single trigger squeeze. An AR-15 is therefore not an assault rifle. The assault rifle tag is something used to scare people into thinking it's a military grade weapon and therefore should be banned. I don't agree because I own plenty of the weapons that "should be banned" and the background checks I had to go through would essentially eliminate the people that shouldn't have those types of weapons. Educate yourself, don't take my word for it.

The opinions expressed by Telz are not necessarily those of the host or any other Nation in Nation States, Telz is responsible for his posts and actions. Just like you..

Ah Telz.. been out of the states for awhile...

The PC term for what politicians want on the chopping blocks are called "Assualt Weapons", anything with any of the following (eventually, after these are off the streets say hello to the new GWO):

-Bayonet-mount
-A 'large' magazine not flush with the stock
-A flash-hider
-A perforated barrel shroud
-Bipod or vertical forward grip
-A folding, skeltonized, thumbhole, or wireframe stock
-Synthetic stock
-Camoflauged/painted or is 'black'
-Has pistol grip and isn't pistol
-Barrel shorter than 18 inches
-A threaded barrel
-If said make has ever seen use in military
-Picatanny rails, (Only weavers would be allowed)
-Otherwise looks like it has a fully automatic setting
-Has ever been or can be stored in Cosmoline and buried

Naturally, this includes BB guns, and even includes bolt-action weapons...
Oddly, you can still own an AR-15 in California, google "Hello Kitty Pink M16" (http://blog.riflegear.com/archive/2007/12/26/hello-kitty-ar-15---evil-black-rifle-meets-cute-and.aspx)

101st you're doing it again bro, you have to read the post entirely. Tom is sitting cross legged on the ground. We haven't even got a shot off yet, we're attempting to negotiate. We're out number 20/30-1 and there is no way out of it alive if we start blazing away. You could be another patrol using the same route to get to your main patrol area and happen upon us and report back. That's what I would recommend. But don't jump into the situation blazing away. You could get us all killed. Tom gave a good example of the SEAL team in Rock getting smoked because they wouldn't back down. That leader failed his Sailors completely by 1. Being too arrogant. 2. Not considering the enemy which is the primary EPIC FAIL of all military planning. Walk through it if you have to time to sit and observe. If you don't act and adapt. You have the time, use it wisely. And don't get Tom and his team killed :D

As for you HT, I say you come down here and we set up a compound:

No. Because unless he wants to be alone, the officers wouldn't allow someone to leave. All people need to be accounted for. If he were to leave by himself, Ziyo would definitely consider him dead (or infected. He doesn't know it's not a virus) and would not let him back in. The only way to have it make sense is if he were part of a patrol or with Ziyo's group. Both of which are organized by the officers

101st and everyone else. Tom needs to be alone the last thing he needs to worry about now is someone else regardless of species. Tom has his strategy set on himself alone as the main maneuver force for the moment. He can get out alive if he doesn't have to worry about anyone else.

((101, Ken, Kage))
Remember I posted that the radios transmit in game area only. We're good on radios. Mt. Id squashed everything going out of our radius so don't bother. It was in Tom's orders and the briefing he got from the Mt. Id Intel agency ((<GodMod)).

Also remember you don't even mention the AA12 unless Mt says you specifically have that weapon. Generally issued military weapons in real world global militaries. No military I know of (British, Canadian, US, Russian) use AA12s. They are VERY RARE! Like... Well like vertical loading NES systems.

Not as a character swap, but as a second additional character, largely to let me explore William more as himself and do more character development. And when you say Tom needs to be alone (assuming with the zed) I think William has a right to be there.
Telz
24-01-2009, 03:39
Based on? If Tom waved off his entire squad to sit down and parlay with the SZ don't you think something like that is a little self sacrificing? He would rather see himself killed than anyone else because that's what he desperately wanted someone to do for him when he was younger, until he could get older and do the same for someone else. Zy probably wouldn't let you leave for accountability reasons anyway. EVERYONE has to be accounted for otherwise NO ONE is accounted for. But if you can convince me of a good reason you can stay.
kenavt
24-01-2009, 03:47
OK...

A good reason why William should stay is that he knows what the Super Zed wants, what it feels, and he essentially is the SAME as the zed, except with self-control. He could be a great intermediary. Plus, he has nothing to live for, nothing to lose, except himself. He's got no family and he hates himself anyway. So Tom shouldn't really be worried, even though he is. Plus, he has nothing else to do and is intensely interested.

I kinda started running off near the end there.

As for 101/Ken, I'm guessing one was using the other's computer and forgot to log-out...

So Telz, now what, Lassie fell down a well?
Oh, right, Mt-id's siege...

Schizophrenia is your friend, spurt out a jumble of ideas, brainstorm, fixate on an incredably stupid one, and as soon as a 'good' or even half-assed idea pops in, either take it without realizing or let it pass...

Think in circles, jump tangents, be aware of the now more than the past or future. Because mid-readers, they fuck your one strength aside from reflexes.

Frankly, anyone listening in on your thoughts wouldn't keep their sanity long, just try and find a way to 'come down' once it's over.

Plans this way go completely against training... and usually get people killed, it called "surprise and inititive".

In the meantime, cooperate, but mention that you'd need help that you trust. Back with friends, try and signal or at least let-on that they're mind readers and shit.

Oh, right, never fixate intentionally on a good idea, if it is truly good, it'll come back on its own, the hard part is maintaining false and bad ideas after all the good ones become painfully apparent.

But that's me, I kinda self-trained myself to send psychologists up walls...
Also a terrific way to resist interrogation when you can suppress a memory or thought so long as a certain stress, trigger or 'no-go' is present (like a man in the background holding a gun and their tele-powers being the 'no-go' to simply tackling and beating the shit out of the super-zed, soon as the door is locked... insta-fisting-time...).

If you can build enough irrational hate, to the point you'd give no more though of killing your interrigator than you would an ant... yep, that's the 'sweet spot'.

Damn... that made me sound evil... thankfully I never had to be locked-up...
I think I'd be tazed daily...

Sorry for the hiatus,

Let me just catch up on the N.E.R.D.S. post then I'll drop some semi-GM stuff.

N.E.R.D.S.:
Classified production by White Dragon Industries ((My actual company)).
N.E.R.D.S. or Neuro Electrode Receiver Diodes for Synaptic response (R). Placed on special operations personnel in the Telz Immortal Soldiers. Specifically those who participated in the Judges project ((The Shirow Guges)) as human test subjects.

While Telz is still undergoing extensive research prior to release on the battlefield the project is fully operational with two companies in shadow service at this time.

Posted date: 22JUN1997

Okay, so Tom is not going to back down and if he gets killed doing it he'd rather have that happen than sacrifice everyone else just to ensure his own skin is covered.

If Mt. Id does off my character I'll ask for a re-roll and try and come back, if not I'll keep up and wait for ZORIII and just sit back like HT and throw wicked shit at you from nowhere. :D MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!

I don't know what to do with my character because he should be by Tom in dealings with zombies (my opinion) and he doesn't really want to fight anyone, including zombies, so involving him in preparations wouldn't go so well for his (already) fragile mind.

From here on out Will can stay glued to Tom's hip for all I care I just needed the initial meeting to go down alone. If you dont want him to fight all the better, I dont think anyone would really want or need him to have a weapon, it would make him all the more dangerous. People who have nothing to lose are the most dangerous when unattended for long periods of time.

Kage,
As soon as the SZ rolls out you can roll in if you want. I'm trying to avoid any unneeded blood and goo shed so we'll have to play it pretty easy. Especially if we want this to go down with us on the vertical end.

HT, I forgot about that post header:
Siaga 12's I have no problem with. Or MK 26's, or Jackhammers (as they have a slower fire rate.) The biggest problem I have with AA12's is the fact they fire at 360 RPM.

But then again, I've pretty much got a chopping-block of axes to grind with everyone by now...

The fact that I could take a dartboard, put a random list of nations on it, blindly toss a dart, and I wouldn't even be half bothered trying to think of a plausable reason to declare a total war of extermination upon them.

Been around long enough to aggro anyone for anything.
Case in point: Zombies, in the middle of fucking nowhere.
Other case: 101st, for joining the CA and siding with teh capitalitz terrorists*.

*No joke, I actually ICly passed legislation in my country recognizing the CA as a band of multi-national terrorists rather than a conglomerate corporation.

So 101st siding with the CA is kinda liek some Iraqis claiming to support Al-Queda in front of a US delegation. A real bonehead move to make.
On the other hand, I would happily defend a defecting nation from the CA's wrath.

Anyways, summary of plot so far: We had the survivors of the first invasion quarantined in an underground bunker until they were sure they weren't contaminated. Then in the city they were quarantined in an illegal experiment went wrong and turned most of the cities population into flesh eating zombies with telepathic powers. (I know, unheard of but TELEPATHIC ZOMBIES!!! lol).

Now the zombies are trying to become super humans by riding themselves of their dependence on human flesh from which they can then turn around and subjugate the world :D.

LOL I love how different Nation's helicopters buz all over your borders! LOLZ

Don't quote me on this but I think Mt. Id has this nifty little deal where they have rapid response wall they setup that are like 80 ft tall so NOTHING gets in or goes out that way, and at the tips of the walls are jammer stations that insure nothing goes in or comes out digitally. Ask Mt. about that but that's what I envision. Successfully putting a cordon around a city like this (EST. 25,000, with an 80% death rate, and a 10% immune rate. < Ask Mt.) for an indefinite amount of time would be so costly 80ft retractable and mobile walls would look like dollar store candy by comparison.

Good lead in though, I think the survivors would have seen an UH60 go down for miles away. Pretty big and loud, and thus sent out a patrol to go recon it.

I'll leave Ken to that, his guys are more stealth than the civilians I have at my disposal, and Will would freak Tony out doubtless.

"I don't know about in your country, but in mine, striking deals with the enemy without direct permission from the commanding officer or officers, is considered treachery. I can and will not support any decision made contrary to my code of honor." he said, clenching and unclenching his fists, itching to hit Tom across the face.

Mt.
LOL I love how different Nation's helicopters buz all over your borders! LOLZ

Don't quote me on this but I think Mt. Id has this nifty little deal where they have rapid response wall they setup that are like 80 ft tall so NOTHING gets in or goes out that way, and at the tips of the walls are jammer stations that insure nothing goes in or comes out digitally. Ask Mt. about that but that's what I envision. Successfully putting a cordon around a city like this (EST. 25,000, with an 80% death rate, and a 10% immune rate. < Ask Mt.) for an indefinite amount of time would be so costly 80ft retractable and mobile walls would look like dollar store candy by comparison.

Good lead in though, I think the survivors would have seen an UH60 go down for miles away. Pretty big and loud, and thus sent out a patrol to go recon it.

I'll leave Ken to that, his guys are more stealth than the civilians I have at my disposal, and Will would freak Tony out doubtless.

Welcome to hell.

Wait till you meet HT :D

Leave me to find Tony?

[NS]Kagetora
30-01-2009, 05:21
lolz.

But from my experience, Bushido says that surrender is one of the most dishonorable things one can do, and that's why in WWII the Japanese would fight to the death even when it was pointless (either that or killed themselves). That's why the Japanese army was almost never taken prisoner (and why they would banzai)

30-01-2009, 09:05
Kage you're killing me with the saluting thing! LOL! Have you been in the JDF? Is that how you roll? You salute NCO's as officers?

Imagine if you will... (Cue Twilight Zone music) someone coming into your work that has never worked a day in their life. Got that? They've only seen your job on TV and in movies. And they can imitate it but there are certain nuances that completely escape them and that you find IMMENSELY amusing. That is what I find so amusing. It's not that you guys aren't trying or that you're doing something wrong it's that you guys haven't lived it and breathed it every day for 6 friggin' years!

NCO's and lower enlisted salute officers, regardless of national affiliation. Officers never salute NCO's or lower enlisted. Unless your Iraqi, then you better salute anything in a fucking US uniform!

But it's not surrender. Bushi says you must be rational in your decision making. The 99 Articles contains many of Confucius' writings and in my opinion and in William Scott Wilson's Confucianism is basically just humanism with an emphasis on education and rationality. After 6 years I still find layers upon layers of things that predate even some of the oldest European records. Things that were brought to Japan and rediscovered in the first century A.D. That's 1 A.D. to 100 guys. It's pretty old shit! I does the studiz of Japanezes 0.o :D LMFAO. I AM SUCH A FUCKING NERD! OMFG!

Actually I live in America, and am a minor, so no I haven't served military time. I'm not very familiar with that kind of thing, so I go with what I see in the movies.

As for the Bushido thing, my nation is mostly based on Japan, not completely. I can alter it how I feel like. :P

Well you all know I'm in the US military and we do not salute NCO's. We stand at parade rest for them but we don't salute. Besides, I wasn't digging on you guys! I know most of you have not been in the military, I was pointing out something that amused me. I tried to give an example but failed horribly. Sorry if I hurt some feelers.

And Kage you are absolutely right! Alter away! I study Aido, and Kenjutsu so it's something I'm familiar with that's why I went all uber nerd, and I think it was like 1 AM here.

Ok I'm all caught up.

Kage, doing good with the radio traffic, but just in case the Zombie Apocalypse really does happen I want you all to be prepared.

Military personnel never say over and out. Over is letting the primary calling station know you have finished talking, out is to let you know the primary station has completed the transmission and is done talk to you. Some units still think that it is the superior ranking person who says out. This is total egomaniac bullshit and should be treated as such. The initiating station says out, no if ands or buts.

Rank is usually done by voice so if he sounds old he probably out ranks you. Just like Tony could tell that Zy was an officer just by looking at him. You can do that in the real world. Officers have this book learned sense about them NCO's have a more tangible hard work sense.

When doing a radio check you call the station and ask them how they read. "Loud and clear" is abbreviated to "Lima Charlie" to keep things fast. Pilots will use the number system, I don't know much about it but 5 by 5 is clear. It has to due with the dials on the old radios.


I use a radio constantly on duty. It has got to be one of the best assests on the battlefield. You can't out run it, you can't see it, and you sure can't beat it.

Again I'm not harping on anyone and I frankly don't give a shit if you say over and out, it's just an RP. But I wanted you to have the correct information. It's like algebra in high school, you never know when you'll need it but it might come in handy. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

101 You made me go post hunting! Bah, here it is:

Gotcha. I'll post up.

I'm Godmodding this one with a few adds of my own.

RPer's are Looking at:
40-80 Survivors, fully functional.
20-25 Nonfunctioning survivors, wounded, head cases, etc.

Arms are scarce as we're in the "Business" part of town. What better place to have a secret government quarantine facility than to have a front as a Starbucks? (Or whatever Mt says it is.)

Patrols consist of 4-6 with arms and full ammo load outs. With two way radios that are good only in game area.

The "compound" is being continually raided for supplies so there are trickle patrols going back and forth to it.

New BOA [Base of Operations]:

We've posted up in an abandoned bank, single story with access to the roof. Mt. Is the "infection" like that in I am Legend where there is an associated mortality rate from the blast radius?

The base is about 7,000 square feet and the offices have been taken over to provide "offices" for planning, sleeping, triage, surgery, research, etc. The main waiting area, the place where you stand for hours and wait to cash your pay check on Friday, is the "In processing" area for any stragglers and is heavily guarded. There are snipers on the roof in 24 hour rotating shifts, 4 at a time. We have very short range walkie-talkies for local use (effective in the game area only, no outside nation to nation or even state to nation commo. This is excluding Tom's Dick Tracy watch, which is only one way and about as useless as tits on bacon.).

No heavy weapons as of yet, everything is military issue assault rifles* only [Semi, 3 Rd Burst, Full Auto]. Weapons allowed are all weapons currently in service by real world military's AA12's will be distributed by Mt and will have as much ammo as he says they have no more, or they will have a catastrophic failure and blow up. Sniper rifles are also standard military issue for real world global militarys and are not to exceed .50, that means NO 25mm South African 'Butchers' http://theregiment.ca/kevinch2.jpg. AVIR's are cool so I picked those for Telz National primary weapon and if he comes out with anything heavier that's as cool as those AVIR's it's on my Nations vehicles as fast as he can produce them.http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=550850

Sound good? Good.

Also some military culture for you. The word POG or POAG [sounds like rogue] IS the worst possible thing any military personnel can call someone or be called. I've personally seen people be called a string of profanities that would make Satan proud and not flinch but when they were called a POAG they punched the other, higher ranking person until they were pulled off, court martialed and confined for three days. Then the NCO was dully punished and kicked out for emotional and verbal abuse of a soldier. In any case I wanted you as mostly civilians to understand the gravity of this and don't go calling Soldier, Marines, or anyone else that fights for a living this filth saturated word. Just a friendly reminder and tidbit from Telz.

*Lets break this down Barney style. An assault rifle is any rifle that has a setting or is primarily set to deliver mutiple bullets with a single trigger squeeze. An AR-15 is therefore not an assault rifle. The assault rifle tag is something used to scare people into thinking it's a military grade weapon and therefore should be banned. I don't agree because I own plenty of the weapons that "should be banned" and the background checks I had to go through would essentially eliminate the people that shouldn't have those types of weapons. Educate yourself, don't take my word for it.

The opinions expressed by Telz are not necessarily those of the host or any other Nation in Nation States, Telz is responsible for his posts and actions. Just like you..


But keep in mind that WaW and CoD4 are produced by two separate entities. CoD4 is better put together in my opinion, WaW does offer the Zombie mode, and imagine that, I play that the most. I ran through WaW on Normal the first day I had it and was fairly challenged but not overly. Solid story line, some glitches that need patched but over all a good 8 hour play.

Anyway, it would probably be useless but you're welcome to come on the Meta Force Recon/Raid. Speaking of that who all is going? I know Zy is staying which is good because we need some senior leadership at the CP, anyone else going? We'll be taking the black Suburbia manufactured by Mt. Id.

Will stopped the brute, at least that is what Tom is speculating.
101 lept in with his superman undies on and started killing imaginary hordes and happened to kill the brute while everyone else was dumb struck or too busy at National Guard drill to reply fast enough :D
I still don't get it. Break it down Barney style for me so I can post again.


No! Wait! I figured it out on my own!

Tom isn't congratulating John because he didn't do anything but place a round in a stationary target, basically he did his job. The real effort came from Will who held the 1 ton muscle bag there so someone COULD pop it in the thinker.
