The Walking Dead (yep, again)

So how is it going? And Nallore, will you be posting on the other zombie roleplay anytime soon?

The Walking Dead (yep, again)

I definitely wasn't trying to be rude when I said that. I just know that there are a looooot of young kids here (I met Shelton when he was really young, here). So, I know that for my 12 year old sister (the youngest age I have seen here), the concept of any sort of ecology or evolution would be super eh. More of a "whatever you say" moment lol

@AnnaBeth

The rudeness did register, but I've given up on trying to read rudeness into posts at all, since alot is being lost without spoken words. Don't worry about it. I was just taking it that you had the wrong idea of the demographics here, in that the right idea is that we don't know what kind of demographics we have here. But there you go.

And I'm also not saying that anyone really knows (in the RP) that the virus or whatever it is, is actually anything to do with anything. Like Hershel, they might simply think it's an act of God. I wrote a short proposal about the science behind the Walking Dead, which is where my idea of an evolutionary device came from :) I also think that it would be interesting to play in their wake. Shelton would have a lot of fun with the whole idea of a good soldier in the middle of all of the bombing and needless killing that slammed Atlanta in the beginning :)

@AnnaBeth

I was thinking a little after that, you know, after the rise of the walkers, but I guess that could be done too. Lots of flashbacks sequences and stuff like that. Imagine what it would be like, visiting the Vatos only to find them overrun? Or Hershel's farm? To find the stack of food that was meant for Sophia, or the prison in ruins? And of course, what our characters must think and feel about finding all this, and always remaining one step behind Rick's group. Who knows? Our characters could even be actively tracking Rick and gang, wanting to join up with them, but simply could not make it. Could be due to alot of reasons - herds cutting them off, or the trail going cold, or circumstances forcing them to take a different route.

Days Gone By, A Zombie Roleplay

Then I guess I'll be the one waiting for Vertical :D I have to, because it's already midnight. Gotta sleep! :D I'll post tomorrow.

Games you wished existed/Video Game Ideas

Have you heard of this little title called "Wii Fit"? Or even...

@Dinh AaronMk

No, but when I look at them I can see that they suck :D We need a real running game :)

Games you wished existed/Video Game Ideas

I think it would be cool if we have a strategy/RPG 2D sidescrolling game in which we roleplay as a runner... who could choose to run anything from a 200m dash to an ultramarathon. It'd have its own full-fledged statistics system, equipment system, training system, career mode, what have yous... Anything that could come from a hardcore strategy/RPG game. Oh, and make it border on fantasy/science fiction the further you get into the game. Maybe as time passed, more technologically advanced equipment and apparel would be available? Or maybe all the marathons you joined are part of a much larger scheme, in which a sorcerer is looking for the best runner in the world so that he could leech his soul out of his body. :D I can't help it. Running half-marathons is a huge part of my life :) Might try marathons soon.

Days Gone By, A Zombie Roleplay

I'll wait for a couple more posts, specifically from Vertical and gowia before I continue.

The Walking Dead (yep, again)

I'm already in a similar RP, but I'll keep my eye on this. There are a few things that I'd have to clear though:

(in TS-19, it was mentioned that the Paris CDC was the first of the Government Agencies to fall, and it struck fear in all of the scientists, who then began panicking, and several committed suicide, realizing there was no way out.

@AnnaBeth

It didn't quite happen that way. It's just mentioned that the Paris CDC (though I'm not sure if it's even called CDC) was very close to a solution before they blew up because they ran out of power.

Explanation of how walkers came about in The Walking Dead

@AnnaBeth

I'd prefer it if it remained ambiguous. Jenner couldn't even put his finger on what kind of pathogen it is. It could be anything from a virus to fungi to bacteria... (Or the wrath of God) I'm sure you could understand the implications of that. Even a 12 year old could tell the difference between virus and bacteria (and fungi or the wrath of God), so if it couldn't be identified...

I don't expect you to have a grasp on all of this, really.

@AnnaBeth

I think by now, a good number of us are educated enough to understand a good amount of this. You never know who your audience, in this case, your fellow roleplayers, are. For all you know, a good number of us could be biology or equivalent majors. You don't even need a major in something like that. I got a diploma in biomedical science :D EDIT: You know what would be interesting? If we play as characters who are following in the wake of Rick's group. We could have characters that existed in the TV show's world but that Rick did not otherwise meet or see again. Anyone from some of his fellow sheriff's deputies to the Vatos would be interesting :)

The Walking Dead (yep, again)

No idea how the forum works, but it copied my post.

Days Gone By, A Zombie Roleplay

I'mma throw him into the deep.

@Partisan

And I can't wait to see it :) But first, sleep! Then I'll probably wake up to find that Christmas came early :) --- Oh yeah, and Vertical, are we allowed to keep any NPCs on the long-term as the story warrants it?

Days Gone By, A Zombie Roleplay

Just having trouble finding out how my character would fit in. I'll figure it out.

@Partisan

You don't have to shoehorn him into the thick of it if there's no real way to fit him in. I'm sure all of our characters' time to shine will come, it's only a matter of when.
