Vital info below for anyone playing die2nite.

1) How to improve chances of getting a good group:

In die2nite, the worst problem is getting stuck with noobs/inactives. So, if you suspect/know that you/your town is going to get wiped out that night, be sure to log-in just after the attack. You will then be able to join a town with a lot of people who will have played before (they would have logged in, found they died and joined a new town). The fact that they log in right after the attack also shows dedication, which a direly needed in this!

Alternately, just wait to join a town at about 23:35 game-time. Same principal as above.

The above is really good if you can do it because it will save you many days of wiping because you got stuck with useless group.

2) Advanced map add-on (player-developed map system)

The below is straight from the in-game forum, and it seems to all check out.

"Map: http://die2nite.gamerz.org.uk/mymap

The external map site is REALLY useful.
1) lets you see what's in the town bank when you're outside
2) see construction
3) coordinates of other players
4) town overview
5) other great things!

Be sure to update the map everytime you move in the world beyond

Click on the words "update current zone" at the top of the page.
Doing this records:
1) items on the ground
2) status of the zone (depleted)
3) EXACT # of zombies"
