@Lady Amalthea @Sigil

Project Starlight was a DoD project looking into the development of an electronic weapon that could pretty much shoot a jet out of the sky without firing a single bullet. By sending out a concentrated burst of ElectroMagnetic Pulses it was supposed to fry a jets computers so that it had no flying assistance, essentially causing it to fall from the sky.

In theory, it was possible, and under lab and small scale tests, it worked a treat. However scaling it to something that could take down a jet from the ground, was impossible. Several failed tests proved that the amount of Eltrocmagentic force required was beyond the current bounds of technology. While the project was a failure the DoD had learnt some valuable lessons about protecting electronics from EMPs and Starlight was going to be used to create small scale jammers to be used in counter-terrorist scenarios.

A couple of weeks before the outbreak the project had been moved onto this new direction and Greg had almost finished a smaller handheld close range device.

@jakeb1993 Okay, there are concerns with that. So some research is being done and compared to what was available in 2007 when everything went down. (Now what the military may have cannot be used since we cannot confirm or deny it - so we have to go with what was accessible to the general public in 2007) - It may have to be toned down a great deal. Will get back to you once we have come to a decision.

"Do you want the damn antibiotics or not? And Acetaminophen will keep a fever down if she has one, but I wouldn't recommend it. Using it may mask other dangerous symptoms, in case you haven't found that out yet. Fever can be good, when fighting bites"

Though an edit isn't required at this point, as rolls have already been made to actions in response to this post, for future reference:

Nothing will help with bites except for amputation. Period. The virus (or whatever) has, thusfar, a 100% kill rate. No doctor has discovered a cure that anyone here is aware of, nor even a treatment that prolongs the inevitable. Please keep this in mind for future posts.

Do you really want to argue with a nurse, and a pharmacist in training?

I agree that there is a 100 percent kill rate if there isn't amputation, but it's been long documented that fever is good for the body-it helps to make an inhospitable environment for infections. I imagine that if that's suppressed, the bites infection could easily spread quicker. I meant to discuss it, and thought I had but my mind is only now getting back on track from exams.

But I can change it if you wish. I do not mind at all. Sometimes I forget that I shouldn't do things like that without asking

It's more just the lore of the show and comics, Caits. In this universe the bite infection has no cure, no treatment (save for speeding amputation that does not result in mass blood loss). So yeah, they'll argue but not on real world logics. Simply on the logics of the world lore.

@Caits @Nallore @Sigil @Charnobylisk @jakeb1993

I am tagging everyone because I want this clear as fucking crystal.

I will and I am actually shaking while typing this. Back the hell up. This is talking about the spread of the bite - a fever will not help. This is based on the history set up by the TWD franchise. So yeah I will argue because you know what, doesn't come into play here. Fighting a normal infection, yes it will help. Fighting a bite infection it has not fucking play. And that is what he is bringing up. Even if it did not, if a Gm or Co-Gm says it is how it is, you go with it. Rule 1 - GM is Goddess, final say - Co-gm is an extension of me.

I swear to god if people do not showing some respect around here and stop trying to challenge Sigil as what goes when he is my Co-Gm I will come down on you like a Fucking Cunt. Got it? Good. Now deal or leave cause I am at my end. I never blow up like this but I have had it!!!!!

Do you really want to argue with the CoGM, or the writers of the setting in which we are RPing?

I am fully aware of the physiological function of a fever, as well as the effects of aspirin. Allow me to repeat myself, as it apparently bears repeating: No doctor has discovered a cure that anyone here is aware of, nor even a treatment that prolongs the inevitable. Please keep this in mind for future posts.

Holy shit, @Lady Amalthea.

4000 posts and I've never quite seen you lower the hammer like that. From the looks of it, you've edited out a whole lot of Fucks and Damnits, too. I appreciate the support of our benevolent GM.

Okay. Okay.

Have any of you actually wondered why being bitten causes you to die? When thy are already all infected? What does the bite do, or have that causes you to die? Has that been explained and I just haven't caught it on the show or the manga? Just something I've wondered

@Morose You are good to go, move to cs tab. Now you can enter and such. Right now we have people outside the gate who are moving a hoard. Or I have a character in Carrollton at the Dmv you are welcome to head over to, she's dealing with a walker currently. My last post for Tatiana.

@Caits No, they left off explaining things after the CDC went up basically. Just left it that everyone is infected. Now the writers have been posed this question a lot both online and on The Talking Dead. They leave it at a general nothing you can do can help and only quick amputation can stop it if you are lucky. They made note many times they don't want anything to help it or broach that topic in general because of the focus of TWD isn't so much the Walkers and Infection but how people respond to an end of the world scenario. So we go by what the writers have given - No cure, no helping it, no stopping it. (Now there have been episodes where people were bitten, sometimes they had a fever reducer, sometimes they did not. All instances it did nothing.) - Only real in constant thing with the change is how rapidly they return after death. Though the general consensus is that the more screwed up/evil they are the faster they turn.

Concerning "Project Starlight":

Regardless of the hopeful end result of your character's research with the Department of Defense, if his mystery project gave him worthwhile experience learning the basics of electronics and mechanical components, great. Do not expect him to have access to anything resembling cutting edge tech. Do not expect to propose and execute a successful group raid on his former base with the intent of recovering anything useful in continuing his work. Project Starlight is an interesting bit of character history, nothing more. Usage of EMPs are not permitted in this RP.

Otherwise, CS is good to go. Please move to the CS tab at your leisure.

I would never do that anyway. I just wanted it to be a interesting part of his back story.

I will paste it across and work on a post tomorrow or the day after. Right now i am trying to work through some stuff.

@BeautifulSnow

Pre-Outbreak Skills:

Kellie knows how to make flower bouquets and table pieces - Florist?
Kellie knows how to use a knife - Knife skill, fairly straightforward, subtle art of stabby stabby.
Kellie has the knowledge to make herbal potions against infections - I'm assuming you're going with Basic Herbalism with this one, yes?

Post-Outbreak Skills:

Be on the look out for Walkers - I'm a little fuzzy on this. Observation/Lookout?
Using a gun / killing Walkers - Standard Pistol skill will suffice, aiming for the head is pretty much common knowledge if you're still alive after three years
Scavenging - straightforward, also useful.

Clean those up and I think we're good.

Anastasia's sheet looks fine. Spiffy even.

Ok, now that you've got him in officially, we need to work out his starting point. No one starts in Newnan proper, nor do they start walking up to the gates. Plans for entry have to be worked out with the GM (Co, in this case), or we can drop you somewhere on the map nearby. Give it a think and get back to me.
