OOC-Chapter 6-Dead by Dawn-General Discussion

Darkness now shrouds the zombie-infested land. At Warren Air Force Base, various survivors and USAF personnel try to hold out against the hordes, but will internal division tear them apart? In western Nebraska, most of the captive women have found their freedom thanks to the rangers' intervention, but two of their captors have gotten away with one of them as a hostage. Can they escape from a new horror and find a way to rescue her? And in Omaha, though the zombies are no longer a threat, danger still abounds. A large group of survivors has holed up in a school, but a band of violent juvenile delinquents, a drug-dealing gang, and others may prove a greater peril than the dead. Who will suvive the night, and who will never see the sun rise again?

Yes, Ann O'Neill is an NPC. She's one of the federal agents who came to the school recently and entered through the back door, escorted by Alvin. That's the only time he's seen her.

Just so everyone knows, I'll be away on vacation from February 10-21 with little to no chance to get on the Internet, and again from February 24-27.

I won't be able to update Gold tonight, and tomorrow doesn't look good either, but I intend to do so on Wednesday night at the latest. If you haven't posted in Gold yet, please do so by then.

Handy,
Due to my problems do you mind taking my characters over for a few weeks until I can get my head above water? Thanks! Try not to kill them off please.

I'll NPC your characters until you return.

I got back a couple of days ago, but I have a convention that I'm leaving for today. I won't be back until Sunday night, but I probably won't have time to update then. I'm still getting caught up on what I missed while I was away. I see that a number of people still haven't posted. Please do so over the next few days if you can.

While I was in London, I found a new book called "Can You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse" at Forbidden Planet. It's a hilarious and gruesome Choose Your Own Adventure type of book, but made for adults. I did survive my first try. I think I got the best ending too, but I haven't seen the others yet.

It probably wasn't, since it was just published in February and I doubt it was translated so quickly. The author's name is Max Brallier.

It's going to take me a little time to get the game back up to speed. I'm planning to update Gold and Sword tonight if I can. I don't think I'll have time tomorrow night, but I hope to update Omaha on Wednesday night.

The character of Sven Petersen has been added to the Sword section. Wryce, you have first crack at him, since your character there just died. If you decide you don't want him, I'll open him up for anyone else to take.

Due to being kind of busy with the end of the semester, I'd like to relinquish control of Dr. Singh and Airman Winters, at least temporarily. Thanks.

Sure, no problem. You haven't been posting for Dr. Singh for a while, and neither of them has anything they have to do any time soon anyway.

Lara was down to 9 Sanity, so this brings her up to 19. Still, nicely done!

I haven't seen a post for Sally in over two weeks, though her player has been posting for other characters.

Well, I know it purely theoretical, but once I discussed with some friends how quick a zombie pandemic would take to destroy civilization. And we decide that several factors would be important. Like at what time it would start. If it would start at midnight in a country in the winter it would have much less consequences (because must people would be at home sleeping, giving time to the goverment to react) than at the end of the morning (because everyone would be in the streets and in its job) in the entire world. And lot's of other factors (like the origin of the disease, burial habits of each culture, etc).

Yes, all of those things would be factors. In this game, civilization collapsed very quickly all over the world because of how the outbreak was delivered.

Oddly, the CDC forgot to recommend including guns and plenty of ammunition in one's emergency kit. ;)
