[OOC] The Dead Rising [HOTD Closed]

[RumikoOhara]

As far as I'm concerned Play on, just no ducking or I'll devise a gruesome death for your character

[Mtntopview]

@RumikoOhara

ducking?

[joeycbee]

Do you guys wanna post first or do you want me to post again?

[TheHangedMan]

@joeycbee Quick question: Do the zombies here sprint?

[RumikoOhara]

Ducking out, disappearing, failing to post@Mtntopview

[TheHangedMan]

@RumikoOhara Looks like joey's out so I'll ask you (the sooner this gets answered, the faster I can get a post up xD)

Do the zombies here run?

[RumikoOhara]

The Zombies here are slow shamblers but strong once they get a hold on you

[TheHangedMan]

Thanks, that's all I needed to know :D

Oh, and before any of you ask? Yes, it's possible to kill a zombie by punching them >:D

[Mtntopview]

@TheHangedMan
I think you could, but it would be very risky ... but I'm not an expert so don't take me too seriously

[RumikoOhara]

I won't say it can't be done but you'd have to be really lucky to drop everyone with a single punch, the skull is surprisingly resilient. Then there is the range issue because it was pointed out in the manga that if they get a grip on you they can't be shaken off easily and punching could put others close enough to grab you but the same can be said of using a bat or sword, the only advantage to these weapons is a slight increase in range.

@RumikoOhara@TheHangedMan

I was just gonna stick with the pacifist method and avoid them. So long as you don't scream or do anything too stupid, you should be fine ... right?

[TheHangedMan]

@RumikoOhara

Actually, the method to killing zombies with a punch is by shaking the brain. You don't even have to shatter the skull. People get KO'ed when you smack their jaws hard enough because shaking the brain disturbs its functions. People wake up once the brain is able to compensate for the shaking, however, since zombies are technically dead, they no longer have this function.

At best, zombies will be permanently wrecked and twitching on the ground, at worst, they'll be dead.

And yeah, about the range issue: That's why I asked if they could sprint. Kiting them around is an excellent method to deal with slow zombies.

@TheHangedMan

but what if it grabs your leg?

[TheHangedMan]

@Mtntopview Then you're f*cked :D Look, I said punching them worked surprisingly well for killing zombies, not that it was something you should do. I think everyone will agree with me when I say that even if you know you could kill a zombie by punching them, you would rather use a weapon instead, right?

[RumikoOhara]

As I said no real issue just a thought

[Mtntopview]

I will post later when I can

[ChronoBovino]

Wait is this thing closed now? Cause it says closed

[RumikoOhara]

How can it be

[Jangel13]

So how many zombies are we dealing with right now? Cause I don't really have a weapon
