[OOC] The Walking Dead: Safe Haven -CLOSED

[Aintitfun1997]

@josephb I just realised wouldnt Ethan, Alex and Walter know Camyllia since she was in the Dana point group before the horde??

[alexfangtalon]

@Aintitfun1997 Depends on how big the group was. Most adults wouldn't know every kid in a large group. Unless they were a big part of the group. Everyone in the prison knew Carl cause he was Rick's son. Those side kids with no name given, I doubt everyone knew them.

[josephb]

@Aintitfun1997 yeah they'd certainly all know them. :)

[Aerandir]

*wants to post again....*

[Aintitfun1997]

@alexfangtalon Well I thought they would know her because she helped unpack and pack stuff for runs and helped out around the camp (like helping count weapons, helping with the kids, and bringing food to people on watch, and ect)

@josephbokay i might have Camyllia go to y'all

[tex]

Should I wait for @josephb to post before I converge with the main group? Orrrrr...

[josephb]

@tex it's up to you Tex I'll be getting one up tonight.

[tex]

@josephbI shall wait on you. You can meet Alex half-way if you'd like, but either way I'll post afterward.

[josephb]

@tex If you're free now we could just make a small collab.

I won't be able to post for a while (like 14 hours)people can move Ahead if they like I'll catch up.

[josephb]

@Aerandir No worries, just to make sure is your character going to be walking down the road with Nikki or staying on his own?

[ViolentViolet]

So I'm probably just going to hang out until you guys get to the night time time skip. AKA, morning. I have something I plan on doing about then.

[Aerandir]

U@josephb I would probably have him follow, I had a hard time posting last night because of the technical issue of not hearing a 50. Cal Barrett sniper rifle even if it was surpressed you can still hear that beast a mile away, and only a few snipers in the world can get mile long shots. I know it's a fantasy story but I still like realism in it, anal I know. So I was having a hard time deciding to ignore it or bring it up in the rp. But while debating something came up and I couldn't.

Any who sorry I'll just have him follow.

@Aerandir

Yeah. I don't usually post in OOC, but this is something that grates me a bit, as well. I'd much prefer realism, but it's a little ridiculous, I agree.

[ViolentViolet]

*shot wasn't a mile* *never said anything about anybody not hearing it*

*ten year olds killing zombies twice their size with a baseball bat is also unrealistic*

[alexfangtalon]

Krystal didn't care much about the groups reaction to the zombies ahead of them falling out of apparent nowhere. They were too far away by now to hear her gunshots.

The Stalker fell a moment late Spotting another one slightly further up the road she aimed at that one as well, taking the risk of an imperfect calculation in favour ...... care much about the groups reaction to the zombies ahead of them falling out of apparent nowhere. They were too far away by now to hear her gunshots.

From these couple sentences it made me deduce, it was over a mile long shot, since they were 1. Too far to hear it, 2. 50. Cal snipers are loud as fuck. Suppressed or not.

Also it is plausible a ten year old to kill a zombie with a bat. Taking into consideration that 1. kids have killed living adults with a bat before, 2. Bones become more brittle longer after death. 3. It only takes 16 to about 198 psi to crack a skull. 4. Adrenaline can greatly increase ones strength (being attributed to mothers holding up cars that would crush their children) also she being a softball player swinging a 2 lb bat often increases her muscle mass of by a little. So yes it's plausible.

I'm sorry if I sound like a dick, not my intention. Just bring up the reasons why I had an issue with the realism in it. I actually enjoy some of your posts I read up on so I'm not attacking your writing.

Another reason I bring it up is because it is a fantasy fiction, and people often use fantasy as a crutch to not think on how their characters now how to do something. Or making assumptions on like (sorry wick) figuring out what branch of military someone is in just by looking at him for a couple seconds. If that said person had a military background and can notice the difference in uniform or stance or even standard issue weapons.

Just little things like that can really flesh out a character and make them more real. (I fall under that trap as well.) but becoming better writers is to remember to make it as realistic as possible even in a fantasy setting.

I also understand we are at different levels of writing and that's fine. I was just pointing out a (too me) a major flaw that conflicts with my character and not wanting to impose on others because in reality Jason really wouldn't leave 10k behind unless absolutely told to by her, but with the fact of the saying the group never heard the shot cause they are too far away, yet they are well within a mile and that weapon is as loud as it is. It just made it hard for me to decide, do I ignore that and piss you off by doing what Jason would really do or go against my characters nature and ignore her entirely.

Sorry if I sound like a dick again, I'm not meaning to be. Just explaining my delema

[ViolentViolet]

No. I am not doing this. If the GM doesn't say anything I don't give a shit. And seeing as he doesn't care much about how realistic it is, he probably won't say too much. Stop nick picking everything.

[Aerandir]

Wow. Ok. I'm not nitpicking, if I was I would have brought up maybe 10 more things, and had wick change her comment In our collab. As I said before and I'll say again I was giving the reason on why I didn't post last night, I wasn't attacking you. You don't have to bite back. I'm a very realistic writer ( or I try to be) I googled my character a lot (like where he was based what seal team is actually based there, how many years it has to be before he could become a lieutenant. What he is trained in, why he would be so far inland. ) I'm sorry that offends you but just so you know from now on I'm going to be like this. If your chapter does something that doesn't make sense to me I'm going to do my best to make it sound realistic for the both of us. It's just how I do things. Of course the Gm has a final say, but I'm not going to slack in my writing and my just to appease you. I actually want to become a better writer so I'm going to push myself.
