The year is 2012, while in the local super market you hear screaming up at the counter. To your immediate horror, you smell the rotten stench of the dead and realize that a zombie apocalypse that so many books and movies had predicted has now occurred. Will you survive? Is it even possible to survive? It is time to put all your skills to the test.... This is a collaboration game for the most part (your working as a team) however there's something else you should know, players who are killed become "Zombies" and must then attempt to kill off alive players, beware for the smart zombies that might be out to get you.
Players can join at any time, follow the rules of RP game, "I Attempt" should always be before just bout anything you say.

Attributes In Depth-------------
Health: When this number reaches 0 you die. 1st time means zombie time, 2nd time means kicked out of the game time
Power: Power is useful for increasing your chances at being successful in battle. For every point spent in Power, your battle percentage goes up by 1, making it more difficult for you to be defeated. In addition players may not wield a weapon until there power is at "2" or more.
Brains: Brains helps you activate different things dependent on the level of this attribute 2= Picklock (You may open locked doors, busting open a door would normally cost health) 4= Light Controls (You may alter the light setting in a room as long as your not outside (might fighting in the dark give you an edge?) 5= Quick Learner (You may wield weapons) 6= Hacking (You may sabotage any computer software, dismantle any bombs or dismantle any security) 7= Weapon Construct (You may build a weapon for you or other players depending on what materials you might have or find around you) 15= ??? ???? (What could this ever be!)
Planning: Planning is useful for increasing your chances at being successful at an event. For every point spent in Planning, your event percentage goes up by 1, making it more difficult for you to be defeated.
Survival: Survival helps you activate different things dependent on the level of this attribute 1= Sleep (If you have lower then 3 health, you may use this move to recover 3 health) 3= Anger (Increases the percentage you have at winning an event or battle passively equal to half of your current health) 6= Assist (Post up a friendly player requesting an event or a battle to occur to help them in battle (so 2 on 1 so to speak) 8= CPR (Brings a dead player back to life with 2 health, does not work on players who have already committed to being a zombie) 10= Armor Construct (You may build armor for you or other players depending on what materials you might have or find around you)
Navigation: Player with navigation are allowed to ask there senses (me) questions that could be super helpful that other players would normally take much longer to get there hands on 1= Whats is the name questions (Hey Senses, What is the name of this grocery store?) 4= Were can we find Med kits? (I will give you closest ones) 5= Were can we find Weapons? (I will give you closest ones) 6= Were can we find Armor? (I will give you closest ones) 7= What would you do in my place? (I will give you best answer) 8= Reveal to me the name of the final Brains skill
Leadership: This stat determines your social rank among the players in this game. In other words your title. Your title is determined completely on your leadership level. Take note, when you reach a new rank your previous rank's stats are discarded 2= Organizer (Plus 1 health point to your stats) 4= In Charge (Plus 3 health points, plus 1 power and planning if your the highest ranked player playing in the game) 6= Leader (Plus 4 health points, Plus 2 power and planning if your the highest ranked player in the game) 9= Savior (Plus 5 Health points, Plus 2 to all stats)
Combat and Events----------------
Combat: Lets say you are faced with 2 zombies, there combines percentage gives you a 65% battle chance and they have 3 combines health, however you have invested points in the power stat (lets say 3) and have a hand riffle (boosting your power by 5) this in total (8) increases your battle chance up to 73%. I will now use a random generator to calculate. Each time you have a 73% chance to deal 1 damage to the zombies, and a 27% chance to take damage.
Events: Events work the exact same was as combat does, however events are no surprise, before attempting something notably dangerous (ak going outside of the supermarket naked) you should ask first for an event of that activity, I will then respond saying "You have a 98% chance of a negative outcome occurring" It is then up to you if your willing to take the chance, this game is all about taking chances at the right time. Make events easier on yourself by upgrading the planning skill
Leveling up: Upon completing 3 events or combats (in any order or fashion) you may level up 2 of your stats (Including max health points), or the same stat twice. You also recover 5 lost health point each time you level.
Final Notes------------------
There is no easy way out in this game, its not going to be easy. And the more you wait the harder it will become. Players who are inactive for too long will be reported missing and considered dead.
Winning the Game-
Way 1 "??? ????"- I will not spoil this ending
Way 2 "End of humanity- All smart zombies win, humans are exterminated
Loosing the Game-
Way 1- of course if the smart zombies kill all the humans then its over
Way 2 "No survivors" if somehow there are no survivors left in the game, (smart zombies and humans alike) then everyone looses
(Event= 10% + 2%) (You have failed the event "1" a positive outcome has occurred) You are feeling more ready then ever to survive, your inner Darwinistic feelings come and to play and you sprint across the supermarket looking for something. As you approach the pharmacy you find a stairway leading up, could of been a possible office building for the pharmacy staff. You may decide to go up or do something else
You decide it would be best to stay as a group, and follow him closely, by some miraculous level of chance he is able to find a stairway, he is now contemplating weather to go up or not
(oh, and as a sidenote, the percentages, how exactly are you are you doing that? just wondering.)
I way in whats going on, and if this were really happening what would be your chances of good things happening and bad ones, then I input your stat bonuses. Its the best i can do
In the time that you spoke this Stalin has left, of course by reading the forum you can probably figure out were he is now. Btw at this point in time the whole entrance of the supermarket is filled with zombies, about 20 from what you can see have spotted you and are slowly approaching you. Behind you seems safe, but you could always try something else
(Event= 10% + 2%) (You have passed the event "1" a positive outcome has occurred) You are feeling more ready then ever to survive, your inner Darwinistic feelings come and to play and you sprint across the supermarket looking for something. As you approach the pharmacy you find a stairway leading up, could of been a possible office building for the pharmacy staff. You may decide to go up or do something else
You climb the staircase and reach the top, you find two small rooms, you immediately realize that someone must of lived up here before the apocalypse. There a fridge with the power off, a small one person bed a scrubby looking kitchen and a newspaper on a round brown table, the walls are begging to shed the paint, and the wood is visible, but in general you feel a sense of relief, almost as if this place were waiting for you two
(Event= 49% + 2%) (You have failed the event "72" a negative outcome has occurred) You open the fridge, sadly all that was one inside is gone, however you never know, you might be able to store things in there. The newspaper is a surprisingly old edition of the wall street journal, you could sit down and read it if your feeling board, or do something else
The two rooms are actually only separated by a wall that does not cover the whole thing, so I have already described to you most of the feature (it looks like this) ----------)--------- ( exit ) ( ) ( Bed ) ( kitchen ) ) ----------)--------- (Event= 32% + 2%) (You have failed the event "78" a negative outcome has occurred) You search under the bed, and scream, there's a man under the bed
