Self-control is nice when you aren't waiting 12 hours for something to happen. I'm joking of course, but I did think I'd see more than one post by the time I got back online.

Officer Levitski started ferrying people into the church at 4:35 PM not 2:10 PM, btw, Hime. Though I am curious why people think an inner-city church is the safest place ever, maybe everybody is religious woah! =)

Just want to point out that oddly enough people do go to the three places Sam mentioned. XD

No idea why

It's also the fact that, since the GM's mentioned those places, it's more likely that the players will encounter other players and more likely have someone to roleplay with :)

yup. We thought it'd be easiest if everyone began the RP in the same area so no one has to solo rp to some location That kinda stuff...isn't very fun.

If people are on their own, they're gonna have a hell of a time catching up with the group. And the longer people remain solo, the more I might just throw something bad at them. Very bad.

Well, I can't see a single logical reason why anyone would head towards a church of all things in a crisis. It made sense in the medieval ages when abbeys, cloisters, monasteries and other facilities doubled as fortresses and contained gardens inside to cultivate food during a siege. Modern churches are woefully inadequate to providing proper sanctuary. Police can bust in and take you, regardless of any claims to sanctuary. They have no food reserves of any kind, nor any sort of defensive fortifications.

I guess some concepts, like the idea of churches being places of refuge, still persist despite being woefully inadequate to the task.

Logical sense: there is a police officer leading people inside.

The location is cliche, and a jumping off point to get to the next place. Don't overthink it.

People do stupid stuff when they're scared?

Edit: are you guys gunna stand around and discuss pointless things all day or post something? ;-;
(Not trying to sound mean, but seriously)

Double Edit: I suggest people don't worry about their backstories, just focus at what's at hand. We're introducing ourselves then going to search the church for stuff.

Oh no, I didn't claim anything was cliche nor was it intended as a criticism against our players. It's intended as a criticism against all of humanity. Humans have this delightful propensity to do whatever is most likely to get themselves killed. Throughout history we stuff ourselves with poison in hopes of extending our lives, we've help plagues along by killing off the creatures that helped thwart the spread and the less said about releasing the demons inside humans through the trepanning ritual the better. Humans are human's worst enemy.

Speaking from the NPCs sense: the church was in the right place at the right time as well as having an armed police officer taking charge and much less overcrowded as the bars nearby and the giant park across the street. =P

I picked the church because I preferred it over duplicating Outbreak (setting it in a bar) and other examples.
