To join the hordes doing likewise...

Just brutally slaughtered my first warm fleshy human on Urban Dead. Somehow anticlimactic. Oh well. I did decide to give the game another go, and it does seem that you should just start as a firefighter if you want to be a survivor. I did so and managed to rack up 12 XP in my first batch of moves. I didn't manage *any* over a couple of days with my cop.

Perhaps it helps that I was lucky enough this time to start somewhere that wasn't utterly crawling with zombies and barricaded to the hilt...

*tuts* Lazy wotsit - google it!

To be fair, if someone talks about a new web thingy, 'tis only polite to provide a link :)

How would I know if the links I came up with were the same thing that the poster was writing about?

mm, fleshies. . .

I'm a bad man...

I've got images turned off, but I can't help but imagine you've used the shower icon for that comment *grins sheepishly*

Re: I'm a bad man...

[corchen.livejournal.com]

nope, I have a spangly urbandead icon. and my shower icon is, sadly, currently not available! because I am lazy.

I've "woken up" to find my zombie in a baracaded building. I can't imagine why someone would enter the building, whilst a zombie was in it, not attack it and put up a baracade instead. I'm going to lurk inside a bit longer and see if any dumb people end up finishing their go in it :)

[corchen.livejournal.com]

zombies can't open doors, or break down barricades speedily. it's a good way of keeping easy kills and xp in one place, so you can hide in a nearby building, and spend minimal moves getting to guaranteed xp. sad, but true.

[themadone.livejournal.com]

Except that I'm on the *inside* of the baracade? Unless you're suggesting that someone has potentially trapped me in the building so I'm an easy kill?

[corchen.livejournal.com]

that's the theory. generally, zombies just get shut inside by doors, but I guess barricades could accomplish the same.

[anonymous-james.livejournal.com]

Zombies can open doors if they have "memories of life"

[corchen.livejournal.com]

and not if they don't, which generally implies they're low level and an easy kill.

[themadone.livejournal.com]

I can just jump from the window though.

[corchen.livejournal.com]

good point *applauds*

[themadone.livejournal.com]

I hope their plan backfires and I get a newbie survivor in to chomp on :)

I think I'll give up waiting before I go to bed and jump out the window and go find somewhere else to eat folk - just in case.

[themadone.livejournal.com]

Damn...forgot. Got killed. But on the plus side, I've found *two* people to chomp on. I hope neither of them run away any time soon :)

The city constantly changes, so some areas can be good starting points at one point and bad at another. But I went through two survivors before my third survived...

(lj user=corchen) posted the same thing ten minutes previous, which is amusing.

[eggwhite.livejournal.com]

as did urizen a short while before that... Everybody's doing it. It's the new craze, it seems.
