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= 36% + 2%) (You have passed the event "82" a positive outcome has occurred) You move the blocking table and go back downstairs, luckily the zombies have not yet infested the back of the store, however you can definitely smell them. There is an isle for fishing and shoe buying, but no guns unfortunately, but hell, there's bound to be one somewhere in town, you think to yourself
Seeing as my trustworthy ex-hobo friend went downstairs im going to go down to and suggest that I stay near the stairs (as Im kinda of a chicken, but also...) because if a zombie draws near I can call him so that our base is safe. Of course while Im on patrol he would be searching the market for supplies, etc.
You creep slowly towards the med center hoping to catch some victims, as you reach it you are immediately confronted with a russian looking man search for guns, you might be able to suprise him or something
oh and btw, you can command zombies to follow you as well, just as a notice
There's nothing but an old pharmacy, with a bunch of prescription drugs you know nothing about, but hey! when you get a headache you know were to go right?
