First guy, on the waiting list. Second guy (with the rape-face app pic) denied unless AB says otherwise. You seem to lack skill.

There is a waiting list, submit your application and we'll work you in if anyone else drops out.

Matt nodded once and started to turn back towards the camp, snapping back to the side when he heard a voice. "And just why would you do that?"He asked quietly, his rifle angled towards the man but not raised. Matt berated himself silently for allowing the man to creep up on them. At the same time, he was impressed at how quiet the man was. "By the looks of you, I take it you're that poor sap they beat up and robbed a little while ago?"He asked.

Everyone, I apologize for my and AnnaBeth's absence, we've been busy with various whatnots and such. We'll try to start posting again today or tomorrow. Thank you all for being so patient with us :)

We should just all end up attacking the bandit camp at once, argue over who gets the supplies, then end up becoming friends and agreeing to split it evenly and head out together as group. That'd be cool. It'd be a pilot episode of sorts for the rest of the RP.

Also, KOKO, if you want a gun, you could just scavenge it from a home. Plenty of civilians own AR15s and (semi auto) FN SCARs.

lol yeah what Wired said. I'd also like to see all these inexperienced civilians loading STANAG magazines with 30 rounds and getting repetitive malfunctions from them. Generally only a nerd or an experienced shooter (typically infantryman) would know to only load them up to 27 or so.

Well... um... ah.... i think i have an idea why would the A.R. (Army Rangers) drive there and why it could crash... VX! The nerve gas... We all know USA supposedly "Destroyed" all of the chemical weapons, yet have been using in many instances... Everybody has chemical weapons, we just don't know it. As i said the crash should have happenned around a month ago. It was in Fort Lewis where 2 N.S.N. (No Specific Name) 2nd. Batalion Ranger Regiments were tasked to transport some of the VX (that was stored there for "safe keeping" post-outbreak) to specified location to be used, to find out if using such gasses would affect the dead. They were supposed to give it to another group of Spec Ops that were using stealt chopper. 4 canisters of the VX were put in the back of a HumVee M1035. As they left they were dead men, about to die the worst death imaginable.*Time skip*While driving on *I don't even know what name that half-island had* they bumped on a rock (YES, ANTI-CLIMACTIC) and damaged one of the canisters. It took 30 micrograms (Lincolns eye in the penny) to poison them.*Time skip*As they gave those canisters away, they felt naseous. They went in the HumVee and started driving back as they ran into a zombie horde. The driver turned left and 2 seconds later had convulsions, making him crash into the guard rail, breaking the wheel strut. The driver hit his head in the window, losing counciones. Couple of seconds later the passager mistook that as death and quickly killed the driver, as he reached for his rifle he noticed that it had fell behind the seats. He reached for the drivers SCAR-H, but had also had convulsion and was dragged out by the walkers and bit. Any way he died both by VX and bites. (in agony) Now he is roaming the forest.Nother' thingy you might brag about:Why only two, because of 2 things:*Loss of more than 2 lives is unthinkable.*An convoy would make for an easy target.Anyhow Sheldon probably won't allow any of this and i will probably have to modify my fourth IC post... (This was me at my laziest) Anyway, cheers!

You would be correct in your assumption.
First off my name is spelled with a T. It's Welsh.
Second, if it had been VX Nerve Gas it would've contaminated everything in a nearby radius for several months and would've killed anything that got nearby during that time, including your character. This is why VX is classified as an Area Denial Weapon.
Third, your posting quality in general is fairly poor and I'm leaning towards booting you from the RP (assuming you don't improve and no one vouches for you) assuming AnnaBeth agrees with my decision (which she will because she's my girlfriend)

In short, straighten up and fly right. Post with more detail and careful grammar, don't fly off the handle and throw a fit (ESPECIALLY not to Foster, that's my bro right there) and in general just try to put more effort and thought into everything.

So they run around in forest camo when manning cities, then?He started off at the border of LA.One year later he is in washington state.

Yes, forest or desert depending on what's outside the city. If by LA you mean Los Angeles, then he'd be wearing Desert MARPAT because California is primarily desert or otherwise sandy. Which of course would stick out quite a bit in the green, thickly forested parts of Washington.
Either way, please ensure your character is portrayed well or he'll have to be killed off.

Foster said ^Me and shelton see a negligent discharge waiting to happen.

IMO that's the most overlooked part of zombie stories. Death and injury due to stupid accidents/negligence. I wanna' see a beloved character holster their sidearm too quick, put a round through their thigh and bleed out dramatically. Or have an actual misfire or malfunction with their rifles. Or better yet (and hang on cuz this is where it gets wild) I'd like to see them CLEANING their weapons.

Also, the Marine Corps do not wear the ACU.
First off,
the Army Combat Uniform is a type of uniform. Camouflage pattern doesn't matter. It's a zip-up blouse with strips of Velcro on it for insignia etc. and a pair of pants typically with eight pockets (back, front, thigh and ankle) the ACU comes in Multicam/OCP as well as Universal Camouflage Pattern or UCP. UCP is what most people refer to as ACU pattern. It's a grey pixelated pattern that blends in with nothing (except possibly urban scenarios)

The Marine Corps wears the MCCUU, Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform. It's similar to the ACU but generally without Velcro and with large pockets on the shoulders as well as a different shaped patrol cap. The MCCUU comes in desert and woodland MARPAT (Marine Pattern) a pixelated camouflage pattern that is known to blend in extremely well with its respective environments. In this case Marines would wear the woodland pattern.
