Sorry for the double post but part 2 is now avaliable! Easily the best part of the operation. So far, it looks like we're heading to Stary Sobor next. Send in your votes, people!

It'd be nice but chances are, realistically "holding" a city is impossible because nobody is going to be online ALL the time, so another clan could just roll right in and occupy it, popping off the trickle of players who log back in over time. It'd be more like a suicidal version of a "King of the Hill" gameplay with no victor. Plus I don't think the mechanics can handle it, but what do I know?

Because the idea is you're an ex-military soldier who washed up on shore for undisclosed reasons. I don't know about you but I don't normally swim with crowbars. We're really lucky to get a flashlight or even the bandages. Painkillers too. I'd give all players a crowbar but I'd probably strip them of everything else instead, including their backpack. Because if you try to hurt someone with a crowbar you're just gonna get hit and bleed out to death if you try to go ninja on a zombies ass. No reason to kill eachother on the shore then. Nobody ain't got shit to take.

Unrelated news, my brother accidentally shut himself in an outhouse while trying to pick up loot, it broke both of his legs and killed him. I guess you can say things "really went down the shitter." BA DUM TISH!

Real men take Life's unfairness and they force life to choke on it by learning how to overcome it. Eat disaster and shit victory. Thread closed.

Because it's physically impossible for a person to improperly hit a person. If your axe has a beard to it, it could easily get caught on a bone or an organ just like it would be used against a sword. In theory it's a great idea, just headshot the zombie. In practice (and especially considering how fast they move) you're probably gonna miss a lot unless you deabilitate them first. So that means knocking them off their feet with a swing (if you can time it with that insane speed depends how heavy the axe is, how fast you are ect) In an unfortunate situation which will probably happen, you wont get the momentum on the swing before they reach you. So you're going to have to do a short, fast swing like the player animation does by gripping the underneath of the head. It's fast, short, but doesn't have gravity working with it as much and in that given situation, I think a blunt blade isn't helping the situation where the momentum / gravity isn't as great since you're striking from at shoulder height because bitch be up in your goddamn face.

Seriously, no joke. I do a video series about being NICE to random people I meet, even if it means my own death. If I was trying to sport expensive medical supplies around with good will, shooting me is a great idea. Blood bags for days. I hate getting shot out of the blue with no chance to defend myself, but that's what makes it exciting. It might feel like bullshit but that's life. Someone gets the jump on you and then you die and if they did it without hesitation (which a lot of people would in the desperate need for supplies), they probably wouldn't feel a goddamn thing. Some men just want to watch the world burn, after all. Not everyone feels bad about kicking your sand castle. It's a very sad fact of life.

Congratulations, you've completely missed the advantage of why a weapon is best if it stays sharp. You can still inflict damage with it but jesus christ it'd probably get stuck in the Zombie if it wasn't sharp enough to pull it's way out. Zombies don't care about how much it "hurt". They don't feel pain anymore. Sure, you want to use the against a player? Be my guest. but in the battle of ingame rock, axe, shotgun, I know what I'm using.

Congratulations on adding to the player-to-player paranoia. :thumbsup:

Yeah not gonna lie I'm feeling up for another Bandit thread right about... nnnnnnnnnnow. Oh look, another one.

As a member of a swordfighting theatrics group, have you tried to fight anything with two fireaxes recently? I don't think they teach that in the army either. We're not playing Assassins Creed here, and shit, I have trouble weilding a two handed axe and a short sword effectively. Plus it's probably not possible considering how hamfisted melee combat is-- and being entirely honest I'd only use one weapon at a time against Zombies. Preferably one with a long reach and keep the other one sheathed in case you lose the first one in the pile of corpses. EDIT: Furthermore we're lucky the Axe gets 10,000 "swing rounds", a normal blade would dull on flesh much faster than that. It's extremely generous. You'd have to sharpen your axe after every few encounters.

Well shit, question answered. Pack your bags everyone, we're going home.

Yes, JETS. JETS is exactly what I meant.

But seriously, I'm gonna be running for days to Berenzino, but it sounds like a challenge! Especially if no one else votes.

You can disregard my thoughts because I keep looking away from your paragraph to go "woah, boobs." Have a friendly topic bump though.
