"Evans" to "Cooper" and "Oremor": "Hahaha! Don't worry so much ***** it's just a simple escort, point A to point B that's all, nothing to worry about. Right Oremor?"

End Message Log

2 hours later a massive detachment of military personnel, transport vehicles and fighter jets depart from Fort Hood towards Georgetown, TX

October 1, 2008 - Georgetown, TX - 12:37am to 1:00am - Reports of a downed aircraft 8 miles northwest of Georgetown, TX flood the local police station and local media, but are quickly silenced by unknown sources.

Less than 24 hours later in Fort Hood and the surrounding areas were struck with the horrors of the Undead and they are coming to your town soon...better wake up the neighbors....Now.

Survivor Weapons: Spring weapons NO AEG's

Undead Kill requirements: NO HEAD SHOTS 1 shot to a paper plate or similar target on the chest
3 shots to anywhere else on the body
Any shots to limbs render that limb unusable ex. shoot the legs undead stop moving for 5 to 10 sec then resume movement

Undead Weapons: Foam Funnoodle Max length 5 feet (That is the effective kill range of the Undead.)

Even if they dont have one if they are within 5 feet from you...you are now a new member of the undead. If it is your first time becoming the Undead from a survivor your respawn will reset ONLY ONCE too 2 respawns + your 1st life.

Also if a survivor gets killed and becomes the Undead they take all the weapons they were using with them and cannot use them until

1. They get revived.

2. They are on their final undead life and can use only ONE hand to operate their weapon.

If possible we can do an Anti-Virus antidote to revive an Undead survivor ONCE. A bottle of Gatorade or some other colorful drink should do.

Minimum amount of Survivors: 5
Minimum amount of Undead: 25 (5 Undead per 1 Survivor)
1st life + 2 respawns = 3 plays

Starts off with 2 Survivors near the admin area, spot and engage 10 Undead until either...

1. Survivors kill all 10 Undead and then they can warn the rest of the Survivors or...

2. The Undead kill the 2 Survivors and they start moving towards the town. The town will realize something is wrong and will "wake up" by then the undead will be almost on top of them.

The Undead will "rise" from 3 positions on the field that will be discussed on game day.

Game will continue until...

1. The Survivors kill all the undead.

2. The Undead kill all the Survivors.

3. Time limit expires. The OC will then determine the victor by the amount of Undead to Survivor ratio (5 to 1)

If there are 30 Undead and 5 survivors the undead win and overrun the town.

If there are 30 Undead and 7 Survivors the survivors win and get rescued by the *insert military branch here* to rescue them.

If there are 30 Undead and 6 Survivors it is a TIE. If any tie breakers are to be played that will be up to the OC.

Well that's my idea to the "Zombie theme" posted on the other thread. It's not complete but I'll tweak it some more when I wake up in the morning. Figuring this out in 1 hour really made my head hurt.

[caliban]

Nice work. I like the funoodle idea, and spring weapons. Maybe throw in a chance at a limited number of semi-auto weapons that the survivors have to find. I'm still not so up on the intentional headshots, still leaning towards the targeton chest idea(paper plates are 'bout head-sized).

[nbustarhymes]

Yeah I did this in an hour...so I'll just take in any ideas you guys have and change accordingly.

So any more Ideas?

im in! i want to beat peoples with noodles! can zombies run?

No...not in the beginning anyway. In their final life the Undead may have a chance to "mutate"... by that I mean the OC will decide on 2 and ONLY 2 Undead who are on their final life to wield weapons and run...or jog. All this is still under construction though.

;D

[badga the badger]

aw man. oh well i still want to beat peoples with noodles. count me in for the undead team

Well this isn't set in stone yet, I'm waiting for Dave to give me his 2 cents about it and everyone else opinions.

Plus October is still 9 months away.

[dave OC-6]

conserns or questions....
targeting the head? ummm not on my field. the chest, and if hit in the head is something els, just not purposfully targeting the head in the rules is a no go.

other hits are just fine.

funnoodle, how will the undead get it? will the undead have a bag of them to hand out? the OCs? not.

i dont see much els wrong with the play except listed above, present it to me next weekend and we may get it going prior to the summer heat break.

Yeah I can change the head shot to a shot at a paper plate on the chest or something smaller.

As for the funnoodles those will have to be brought by the players themselves, if they don't have them thats where the 5 foot rule comes into play.

If the Undead get within 5 feet of a Survivor it's an automatic kill and the Survivor turns into an Undead.

[caliban]

Dave's got good points about the funoodle. Maybe give the zombies a spring gun, one shot paralizes a survivor. Then if the zombie gets to beside the survivor (tag or no tag)he/she becomes a zombie. If another survivor gets to him/her first, they are revived.

i would much rather beat a survivor senslisly with a noodle.

springers minus the skill of running vs springers plus being paralized every 5 seconds seems a bit boring.

maybe noodles with ability to run vs semi-snipers and pistols and spring rifles and shotguns. snipers for long-range. pistols for close range. rifles and shotty for in between.

[caliban]

We nee to find a way for it to be less complicated for survivors to turn and be a zombie quickly. Too much gear changing will suck the fun out of it.

Well my only issue with that is that it will turn into a "shoot... hide... shoot... hide... shoot... hide" it doesn't seem very "Undead" to me. you see what I'm saying?

[badga the badger]

noodles vs semis?

Well to keep in some sort of reality the only weapons the survivors can use are what you would normally see in your neighbors gun safe (pistols, revolvers, and shotguns....which means no sniper rifles and/or assault rifles the reason why is the FPS could be past what the field limits allow)

Well they dont have to change their gear or anything, they take their weapons with them but cannot use them all they need to get it a paper plate target on them...which can be tucked away if revived.

Plus this is a little suburban neighborhood....not a military base. So the need for vests, chest rigs, holsters, etc is very low. you just wear what you would wear as a civilian.

Hm?

What?

[badga the badger]

fun noodles vs survivors with semi auto weapons.

Yes, this hurdle is the no contact rule of Dave's field.

Which in case you don't know...Is not allowed.

So hitting people with fun noodles isn't gonna work out so much.

[dave OC-6]

silly string?

Now that sounds cool!

I was also thinking that an armed zombie could carry a plastic bag of extra plates. A survivor would freeze when shot(w/zombie's springer). If the zombie gets close enough to hand them a plate, survivor must take it and be infected. That way the zombie doesn't actually "touch" the survivor.

[sonjamichelle]

A zombie AAR y'all might want to read over. Points out a few problems encountered with this style of game.

[caliban]

Thanks Sonja! Sounds like it was kind of a zombie course challenge.

[caliban]

I had an idea to relate to the Terminator theme from the zombie theme: T1s could wear 2 plates, one on front and one on their back. Both plates would have to be hit to get a kill.

That actually sounds alot safer than the 2 original ideas I brought up. Alas, we'd have to demonstrate that to Dave in order for it to be a possible scenario...

[nbustarhymes]

Yeah let Dave know about anything you guys may want to do at the field.

Don't want any surprises.

whats wrong with showing it to me? its to prove its safe and workable. like the plate on the back idea. how will you know when its been hit? its just a question. if you can make it work im in.

also i have no problem with funnoodle "hits".

[schwarnator]

plenty of my friends have hunting rifles which could technically be considered "sniper rifles" and plenty of people have semi auto AK47's and AR-15's
