Anyone else playing and feeling like throwing up a BattleMaster coalition? :-)
I'm playing as Balanuir, currently in The Dejected Districts.
-
I played this for a while in the Beta, then joined the French servers. Not only are the French servers playing a more recent version (though I think the international ones have caught up) but I found they as a group much more co-operative in game, resulting in much better survival rates in town.
-
I found the trailer here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z8iG-yBygY&feature=player_embedded
Is this text-based? Even though zombies really scare me, I'm considering to start playing :)
-
This doesn't look too bad. I'd be interested in trying this out. I'll go sign up and try things out, then when we have some more we can hopefully join together somehow. This could potentially be pretty good if we all work together :)
-
Yes. I've registered, though I didn't see where/how you can choose a certain town. I don't even know where I am!
It's quite annoying how it always says 'this action is reserved for Heroes,' heroes being the players that pay for the game. Or can you becme a hero somehow?
-
Yeah, I agree. I'm always a bit iffy on that. You seem to be able to earn Hero Days by being the Last Man Standing, but that doesn't seem to be the easiest thing to do.
I guess Tom should create a Coalition and invite everyone in. I'm playing as Telrunya, should avoid confusion ;)
-
I love anything zombie so I'll be joining this when I get out of work.
-
Started playing as well..as DEste
-
Well, if someone starts a 'coalition', I'll be sure to join!
So far, I collected a washing machine, a radio and some food. And the second player to join closed the village doors on me. :(
-
Coalition set up. If you tell me your names, I'll invite you.
-
Shizzle
Is is a problem if I am already in another village? If so, how do I quit?
-
It's not. Just when your current game ends, don't join a new village. Considering the people with >100 points go to different villages, you should have mostly new people for now, which means it will only take a few days ;) Once everyone is ready and not in a game, one of us can join a new village and the rest will automatically join as well.
-
INVITE ME TOM!! Squishymaster is me name.
-
whats the coalition name? Balanuir?
-
whats the coalition name? Balanuir?
you've been invited, I saw. Yes it's Balanuir
-
Everyone should read a survival guide or two. Google "die2nite survival guide", there are a couple out there.
-
After several random constructions, 11 of our citizens died because they failed to return to Town. Now more random constructions are being done, and we can't get the Workshop up, vital to the Town. I hope it will be better with Coalitions and once we reach 100 Points :P
-
11 of our citizens died because they failed to return to Town
Haha,epic fail :P
though you can sleep outside as well, if you manage to hide(and if you're lucky)
-
I've just signed up so if someone invites me I'll be able join the coalition once I die or whatever here in Sweaty Hamlet of Wolves ;D
Longmane is my nickname.
-
Coalitions are five people max, I'm afraid. We will need one or two Heroes (Paying members basically) if we are to coordinate Coalitions to all join together. Any other ideas?
-
I might actually give this a try. I've always liked survival games. Time to do a bit of research.
-
Coalitions are five people max, I'm afraid.
That sucks. I must say I like the game concept, but much of the 'OOC' background is frustrating. Paying for cool features, limited coalitions, ...
Die2Nite only makes me realise how great BM is ;D
-
The game set-up is pretty neat and unique though, but you are right. I echo your words.
-
I've just joined up as Klingzog. If anyone is setting up a new coalition, I'll gladly join you :D
Already got myself trapped by zombies, looks like I'll be dead soon!
-
Ok, so people outside of the first Coalition are:
Longmane
Klingzog
I suggest one of you two makes a Coalition for any others to join in, and hopefully we'll have some luck :)
-
I've joined as Darksun... I loathe the undead.
-

Klingzog is already in a coalition. I've started a new one.
-
Yeah, sorry about that, a friend wanted to start one so I joined with him. Still not sure how they work yet as neither of us has died since the coalition was set up :P
-

The coalition is just like a waiting room. Everyone in it who's not in a town will follow anyone joining a town, if they're set to 'ready' :)
-
I'll give it a go as well. Signed up as Dominicus.
-
Great :)
Tom made us some neat avatars based on the BM logo. Perhaps you could ask if he can make some more? So if we would end up in the same town we can recognise each other, even though we're in different coalitions...
-
Sounds great, I've invited those not with Tom.
-
Meh, I don't really have much else to do, due to current circumstances. Might as well sign up for a look-see.
Name is Baelorr.
Lol:
This was home to a citizen who decided to settle down outside the town, thinking they would survive for longer unaffected by the quarrels and betrayals inherent in town life. Half of their corpse is still in the living room.
-
The game is pretty cool. It is disappointing that you can only be in one town at a time and that some features are locked if you don't pay, but overall its fun.
-
Some of the flavour texts are really funny! In the bottom right on each (?) page there's a scroll that displays hilarious quotes :)
-
How is the first coalition doing, btw? I have so far seen only about 5 people talk in my group of 38 lol. Still waiting to join the second coalition...
-
Tom is currently away so we started with 4 guys in the same town in the meantime. I survived 5 days on my first Town, who didn't even get the Workshop up. This Town seems to be a lot better organized though so high hopes here :)
-
How many in your town total? I'm wondering what the maximum is...
Since I started, I've been wondering: what is the good of a 5-man coalition when the town is around 40 people?
Edit: Mind you, I suppose you could look out for each (rescuing), and organise sorties together, as well as just discuss stuff.
-
40 people or so is the maximum yeah.
It allows you to play with friends basically, but you will still be dependent on randoms. If you have a Hero in each Coalition though, each Coalition can choose which town to start in and thus all join together.
-

lets save up if we get hero goodies until we can all team up sometime?
-
Sent Baelorr an invite. Almost two full Coalitions now.
-
My name on die2nite is Zakilevo. And if possible add my friend as well :) t1suka
-
I somehow forgot to take food or water with my while heading out...curious if I will survive hte night outside ;p
-

Hehe, good luck! Yeah, this game is very punishing if you make even one mistake :/
On a lighter note:
During the assault, the game is inaccessible for 10-20 minutes, during which time a video will display instead, with two randomly chosen actions. Clicking either action refreshes the page and brings up other actions. There's no real value to this; just something to amuse yourself while waiting to see how your town fared.
scream
wail like a banshee
grind your teeth
hug a broken guitar
clench your cheeks
-
Lolz - this first group of randoms that I"m in really fails hard.
-
Yeah, my first town failed badly too, but this one seems to be doing fairly decent.
-
My previous town was doing pretty well and looked like we could go for quite a while. Until someone forgot to close the gates and 90+ zombies got in :(
My current town seems to be doing quite well, but a few of the people who are taking charge seem a bit shouty, so it could end up with a big argument and everyone stops working together. We had a pretty good start though, found a hacksaw and got the factory on day 2, so we're producing a lot of resources really cheaply. Got a hero with a kitchen making +7 AP foods each day and we're only on day 3. I just really hope the hot-heads don't get in an argument and the town breaks down >.<
-
Got a hero with a kitchen making +7 AP foods each day...
Yeah, I have one of those too... I call that hero "my wife"
-
Meh, I'm not such a fan of their system. The regional talk doesn't seem to refresh on its own, opening a new tab often turns out blank, so needs to be refreshed. The UI seems quite clunky.
-
Try a different browser, update it, or something because I know a couple people playing and we haven't had any issues so far. And using tabs in the game just seems like a bad idea because the system seems designed to be played from one browser not multiples.
The game is neat, its funny, difficult, and overall pretty cool. Having to be a paying player just to upgrade your home in the town or have a special class is lame.
As for dieing because of someone not shutting the door. That is why the portal lock is so good even though people ignore it, because it leads to the piston lock which automatically closes the doors 30 minutes before the attack and prevents it from being opened again.

And then you're shut outside if you come home to late... A good gatekeeper > any lock imho
-
I would agree with that statement, a good gatekeeper. The first two towns I play in had a gatekeeper and a standby gatekeeper, both lost to someone leaving the door open.
-
Well, it seems to become a recurring theme that a group of random people simply don't have a reliable enough gatekeeper. Our Town was doing very well, but the gatekeeper didn't close the gates and now almost everyone is dead for no reason.
-
Yeah, I'm dead too :p Too bad, we seemed to be ready for a long run!
-
At least we didn't get the rotten luck to find a good longlasting town while Tom was away ;)

Hurray!
-
Hmm you cant kill zombies with your bare hands if you are not a hero? that sucks
-
The game needs money to run, thus they need to make hero's an attractive prospect, thus they get all the good stuff. You can get hero time without paying, but you need to be the last survivor of a town that has survived past some arbitrary time line. It is certainly possible, but in no way a reliable way to be a hero.
The fact that even hero's can only bring limited people into a coalition shows the central theme of the game, that of survival under random conditions. Once you personally have racked up some good games I believe you can join Legend towns, which are full of other veteran players which makes things somewhat easier, only those towns have new game mechanics to face as well. All in all its a very well put together game, but I got tired of endlessly trying to motivate and organise a new town. The best I ever got was about 40 days survival.
-
Is there any way to survive outside of the village? I used up all of AP and stuck...
-

Have you used up all the AP restoration methods for the day? In my towns we used to have a few members dedicated to run rescue missions, taking food/water etc to stuck players, or running out to booster a regions combat rating so people could retreat. Other then that I believe the newest version did add ways of surviving outside, but I'm not sure if that only works in Legend Towns
-
Yes, Inspect the Zone and you will see your chances to survive a night if you go into hiding/camping. You can use AP to improve your chances.
-
Ah cool, managed to find 8 zombies and lost my eye! I really should keep it with building stuff rather then walking outside
-
Yes, I can make you all avatars for Die2Nite. Here's what they look like:
(http://imgup.motion-twin.com/hordes/c/d/4df71709_130695.jpg)
I need your Die2Nite name and your e-mail address so I can send it to you.
-
Woo very nice avatar :) Send me one too Tom. My name on die2nite is Zakilevo and my email address is stinkyoldmen@gmail.com :)
-
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"
-
We got a pretty good town going on. Survived a spike, now ready for day 7. Day 8 will become a big problem though :(
-
Sounds really good! Hope you make it further, and report on outcome.
So far I have hit two 4 day towns, and one 2 day. Was one of the last survivors in two of them ;)
The current town looks really excellent - already have tower and workshop on day 1! I found this town by using tactic number 1 hehe. Unfortunately I have yet to play with another member of my coalition sigh...
-
Currently on day 11. Dying tonight because we've had a sneaky griefer with us.
They built the Foundations using up some of our Concrete Blocks we were saving for Stone Cannon. Then they used our only Electronic Component on the Upgraded Map (again, being saved for the Cannon). They then used most of our Nuts & Bolts on the Razor Wall (saved for Ramparts). We've not been able to find any more Nuts & Bolts or Concrete Blocks and have been surviving off temporary defences since day 7/8.
Finally ran out of resources tonight, so we've all ran into the desert. We have ~550 defence, with a minimum of ~820 zombies (max ~920) tonight. I'll be dead tonight since all the best camping spots are covered in more zombies than I can kill, or are taken by other town members. Been a nice run though :P
-
You think that was just one person? How much AP do those projects cost?
-
Apparently socalled meta's exist, aiming to get over 30 days :) so really, 11 days is peanuts :P (though I haven't got that far yet!)
PS: workshop and search tower on day 1 seems like a bare minimum :P
-
Meta's go for 30-40 days generally and that's considered pretty normal. Random Towns reaching 20+ days is quite a feat. There's quite a difference in between it :)
Our Town has pretty much no nuts and bolts left so we can't really build any more defences.
-
You think that was just one person? How much AP do those projects cost?
85 AP in total, which is ~5 days worth of AP. So yeah, I think it was one person :P Especially since we could see the bars slowly creep up each day on them.
We could probably have only gone another day or two further without that griefer as we'd still have faced a Nuts & Bolts shortage, so wasting them on Foundations only sped up our demise.
-
Everyone in the 1st BM coalition pretty much expects to die2nite. So if there are any other BM coalitions around, you may want to hold off joining for a day and come with us. If you have a hero, he can join a specific town. All we need to do is post which town we joined quick enough.
How cool would it be to have a town with ~10 people with BM avatars? :-)

To the citizens of the town of Strange Chasm of Bees:
Well, folks, unless you have a brilliant idea or a miracle happens, I believe this is the end of our town. It was a good run and we did our best...well, most of us did our best. I don't like giving up, nor does Edward (especially Edward). If you want to go camp outside, be our guest. Edward and I will be drinking water and singing during the attack, at which time, we will be devoured. It has been an honor and a true joy playing with many dedicated people. We will miss you all. Krime777, topher, and myself are currently in a coalition. If you care to join, send a message or ask on one of the threads, since we actually read the forum. Let's hope for a miracle, though. Good luck to all in the next life and happy scavenging (Edward says kill a zombie or two for us). We will be back at 1:00PM Central Time (20:00 Game Time) to watch the fireworks (or as Edward calls it "The Witching Hour").
Yours most sincerely,
Whisper In The Dark
P.S. Edward will eventually be making his final farewell speech/rant when we get back. Bear in mind, Edward is not as nice as I am, so expect to be offended.
For those in the first coalition, might as well share this. It was too long to put it on the coalition board.
-
Other coalition: could we coordinate to end up in the same town? I suppose a hero in our or your coalition could be on IRC and they can join together?
-
Unfortunately we don't have any heroes yet. If I can manage to be the last guy in this town, I would get it. But I doubt it, as there are 5 heroes with us, and still a total of 21 people :)
-
I think we do though. So we could come after you guys. What's the status of the people in the other coalition?
-
Two are not in a game at the moment, one joined 3 days ago, one joined today and I'm on my fifth day. The one who joined today seems to be racking up frequent camper miles, so it shouldn't be too long ;)
-
Haha :) If you want to be all together in a town, you should ask them to wait before joining a new one :)
-
Our coalition is waiting right now, not joining. 4/5 are ready, so if you guys, like, well, totally unlikely, but... you know... not that it happens much... but if you die... we could join a town with at least most people from both coalitions in it.
But you need to coordinate with our hero, I think Squishy? You need to join when he's online so he can immediately follow behind.
-
Haha :) If you want to be all together in a town, you should ask them to wait before joining a new one :)
hehe, that would be nice, yes. I tried it once...and three managed to gather. But then one of them decided to join a town just one day before myself and the other came out of a town.

It would be good to do this. The best time to join is 11:30 if squishy is able to make it then.
PS: I'm not sure if the people from the coalition that I am a part of still read this thread, so I've posted the idea through to the Coalition board to see what they think of it. PPS: Night 6 now, should make it through :)
-
11:30 in what time zone? I'm available every day 6pm-10pm EST than weekends pretty much 7am-10pm.
-
I was thinking of the in-game time. Right after the attack has happened and the game has become available again for the new day.
Ps: it looks like my town is going to wipe tonight. There will then be 3 of us ready to join.
-
Sweet we're ready for a new town as well. You join a town which will be random and then we'll follow with me choosing the town as a hero.
-
Perfect! Having +5 members in one town would be awesome :)
-
Anything from the other coalition yet?
-
Ok so last night didn't happen, we'll try again tonight after the horde. However, if we don't hear anything shortly after the turn change then we'll be joining a town.
-
Hi all,
Sorry for the wait, I'm afraid I don't clarify my intentions enough sometimes. Because the time after the attack is 11:30 at night here, I'm not normally on at that time. Together with gathering the people in our coalition, I wasn't expecting it to start the new town last night. Once again, sorry for not making my intentions clear.
I'll make sure to be on tonight though, so we can get it kicked off. I'll message the coalition so that we can be ready to join one, and then immediately afterward post what town we have joined on the board.
-
Well, whenever you join a town, Bael, your coalition will follow (at least those players that are available). So the vital thing is that you let Squishy know ASAP when you join a town, so he can follow you before it's full.
-
I will post here and send him a PM on these forums. I can't message him ingame.
-
Perfect, I'll check this forum after the horde.
-
Ok, just waiting for the server to become ready :)
--
Right, its back up. I'm just waiting for the ones that are almost full to close first :/
--
Now waiting for squishy to come online :D
--
Ok...I got 10 more minutes, then I'm going to bed.
--
Ok, i"m off. Rather than join a town now, which will quite likely get filled quickly, I'll see if Dominicus can get our coalition sorted for tomorrow night.
-
I just got out of work and am now home. I thought you were gonna join then us follow, I don't think we both need to be online for this to happen.
-
You do, as else we can't follow quickly enough.
-
I've just joined "Fossilized basements".
I didn't want the town to get filled in-between the time we joined and you came on.
-
Or it will happen, awesome.
-
Yay :)
-
Good job guys 8) ;D
-
LOL, looks like there are several fail people in the current town...including the guy that just stole 2 planks and 2 iron, probably to drop them in the middle of nowhere.
Is there a preferred time-space when we can go on expeditions?
---
The terrible thing is...it looks like I'm going to wipe on the first night (for the first time so far). I decided to take a bit of a risk for once and go a bit further to try help some people...but now I'm stuck there also.
--
Well, i'm dead. Perhaps another time...
-
including the guy that just stole 2 planks and 2 iron, probably to drop them in the middle of nowhere.
You can get them back quite easily if you're prepared to use your AP. Just go out of town, choose a random direction, see who entered/left the region and which direction they went. Follow that until you find your resources :)
Griefers usually don't go too far because they don't want to get stranded outside.
-
Yeah that's true. Unfortunately I went too far, got trapped in a region trying to save two others, then ran away to die from infection tonight (possibly). Managed to survive last night despite camping with three zombies (lol).
-
We got owned ..
-
Yup.
-
Lol! Gates left open ???
Eh, well I died from infection, so little difference.
-
We still have a few people unavailable should we wait a day or two and try again?
-
Its up to you guys.
I saw that my coalition joined another group, so I decided to join a town.. But it would be good to join on the weekend if possible, when we can get a group right after the zombie attack and (hopefully) gather some evidence to further support my theory that the most obsessive/best people join right after the attack ;)
-
I'll just sit and wait for others to join a town and then follow 8)
-
I'm home, lets see how the coalitions look after this attack.
-
We joined a town so we won't be available for a bit. Lets try again for after Monday when Bal will be back.
-
Great. Our new town is kind of filled with angry people though, it seems.
I'm beginning to think Strange Chasm of Bees will always be the best town I've ever been in...
-

Hehe, if they are angry it at least means that they are playing, and that they care. Which is more than I can say about some towns :)
Take today, for example. We are between 80 and 100 defense short. And not a single defensive building was built. GO TEAM! Needless to say, I am camping out.
Ps, if a town gets devastated, do all the items and the water from the well get lost?
Pps: If you are camping out, and take time to improve your campsite and install some items, do they still count if you find a tomb, or must you "find a place to hide"?
-
PS No
PPS I don't know
-
It looks like the items remain, but one can no longer get water from the well. Town got owned last night as expected, and I was camping out. Tonight shall be my second night under the stars. Got lots of water, so things are looking good. Apparently your chances of surviving each subsequent day decrease, so we shall see!
-
I can be found in game as "Fleugs", but I have absolutely no idea how to join you guys. If anyone can help me out.
Died once already. My arm was ripped off and, well... things went band from there.
-
Haha, yes fleugs, the game is very unforgiving of mistakes.
I'm thinking of perhaps leaving my coalition, because nothing whatsoever is going on in it (two people are always playing random towns and getting owned within 2-3 days, while the other two seem mostly afk...).
On "Your soul", bottom right, you can "Search for another Soul". We currently have two full coalitions, so unfortunately you couldn't join either. But as said above, I may leave mine, then we can go together :)
-
I am the last survivor lol. I've been outside of the town for 3 days. I am out of water and probably gonna die from thirst soon. Damn.
-

Yep, today is also my third day outside of town (day 5), last survivor, just I still have two bottles of water :P heheh ::)
-
I'm outside too. I don't have water, but I do have some food. And a battery launcher that helped me killing 3 zombies :) yay!
-

I presume that you are able to load it outside then (seems logical)? I ask an obvious question because I know that one cannot purify water outside with a container and tablets.
My town is about to be overrun by the advancing wave of zombies (it's interesting - they seem to come from side and advance in a wide front - in the image below they are advancing from the bottom left), so I've removed further east. Used to be just four blocks north of the town. I had to kill some zombies with a waterbomb 2 blocks north of the town, and get injured 1 block north (which was fine because I knew there was bandage in town. Then the car door got me back out :)).
And yes, its very lonely being the last survivor lol :)) So I'm posting here instead of the d2n forums!
PS, anyone know how to make the posted picture a thumbnail?
(http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l399/revengeoftheturtle/d2nlastmanstanding.jpg)
-
Yeah, you can reload the battery gun. I'm on autosearch now, hoping to find more batteries...
-
It seems I have been finding quite a lot of batteries myself, don't have a use for them right now. Just spent the maximum of 10 ap upgrading my campsite, and my last ap to find a tomb. Which brings me to this question: I have only ever seen "You reckon your chances of surviving here are decent : you just have to hope for the best!"
The above is the best that I have ever seen - has anyone seen anything better? That is what I have seen tonight, and on the previous two nights in my previous camp site where I upgraded it with three trestles over two nights (as well as numerous ap spent improving it and then finding a tomb).
-
I've seen largely satisfactory. I get it sometimes.
-
That's actually worse :)
Descriptions of your campsite's survival chance, from the least safe to the most safe:
You reckon your chances of surviving here are hee haw... Might as well take some cyanide now. [0,15]%
You reckon your chances of surviving here are really poor. Maybe you should play heads or tails? (15,30]%
You reckon your chances of surviving here are poor. Difficult to say. (30-45]%
You reckon your chances of surviving here are limited, but tempting. However, accidents happen... (45-60]%
You reckon your chances of surviving here are largely satisfactory, as long as nothing unforeseen happens. (60-75%]
You reckon your chances of surviving here are decent : you just have to hope for the best! (75-90]%

Our coalition is all dead now, how are you guys doing? Should we start a new town tomorrow after the wave, so like 23 hours from now, or do you need some more time?

I think my coalition is pretty dead as well. I barely had a chance to play with mine too..

That's because you keep on joining random towns while we are trying to gather people for the next town. But yes, Darksun doesn't seem to be playing anymore, and I'm not sure about Dominicus.

I'm still camping on day six - while it is rather boring I would like to see how far I can get (have already camped for 3 nights). I'm not sure that our coalition will ever get over half the people to be ready to join a game with you guys.
That's actually worse :)

Awesome thanks! :) I had forgotten about that gem - saw it when I started playing, and because it didn't mean much to me then I forgot about it. Now that I am becoming a "hardened camper", that site is really useful.

I stopped playing it, so dominicus is out

I'm ready for a new town :) died in the desert. Thanks for setting things up, Squishy. You're a Hero ;)

Ok, cool.
I've started a new coalition. Fleugs, you have invite. Anyone else like one? I'm hoping to get 5 active people who have read some survival guides and know what is happening.
-
Huh I though you have to press join a random town every time. Didn't realize you can wait for people. Oh well, the coalition dissolved, so invite me whenever.
-

No. If you choose not to join a random town, and you set yourself to 'available', you will be dragged in when another coalition member joins a random town. In our coalition we coordinate to see when everybody will be dead at the same time, and then someone joins a town - so we're all together.
And of course if there's people dieing sooner (D'Este? :p) they join a town until we're all ready again :)
-
Huh I though you have to press join a random town every time. Didn't realize you can wait for people. Oh well, the coalition dissolved, so invite me whenever.
Yeah, you can change your status from "available" to "unavailable".
Hmm...I wonder why it dissolved? I was not the leader...perhaps Darksun dissolved it? I've sent you an invite so long - hopefully we can get some towns together now.
I will keep the forum updated here on what the status is of the new coalition.
Ps: gathering is going really well - just found some plywood and a water pistol. Now if only I had some extra water left for it :( (down to 1 ration, to be drunk tomorrow). Edit: Eh, only got "largely satisfactory" for tonight. Hope I make it!
-
If you have two spare spots, my friend and I will join with you guys. He doesn't play Battlemaster though, hence why I didn't join the original coalitions. If you're willing to look passed that disability, I'm sure he won't mind joining with some decent active players.
How many Soul Points are we all on now? I've managed to get myself to 95. The town I'm in now will last until day 3, so looks like I'll be able to join veteran towns the next time I die.
-
I think I have like 3 soulpoints now. But I'm about to die and this is my fourth day alive I believe, so it should give me some points at least.

Definitely coming along well for you! I'm currently on 60 and day 6 (and 6th town - Ai, that is almost three sixes!).
So, total so far would be 81. 88 if I survive tonight, and 96 for tomorrow night. I still find it funny that the town wiped on day three. 8)
I am quite curious about how the veteran towns work - if you have over 100 points, would you random both types of towns? That would certainly be possibly the biggest incentive to buy Hero status. Secondly, if the first person randoms a 100 town, but the others in the coalition do not have 100 points...what then?
-
I'm thinking they wouldn't follow, but who knows? Are you guys wanting to join a town now because we are available?
-
my soul point is only around 50 atm. I can't survive past the 7th day.
-
Tony are you in that other coalition? If so what is everyone's status?
-
klas1313 Not in game...
Zakilevo Not in game...
UNAVAILABLE

-
If you want to join a town with us, then just join a random town and post the name here and we'll follow.
-
I'm at 70 soul points for 4 towns, best so far is 10 days :) (that gave me 55 points :P)
-
oh you guys can actually follow me? that's cool. Alright I will do that from now on. I will wait one day for bael and join a town tomorrow.
-
Kind of. A hero can join any town they want, thats me, and when I join a town my coalition follows, thats them, so yes we can follow.
-
Got one more with us. If Bael dies tonight, I think we will have four. Well if he wants to stay alive for a couple days, we will join a town tonight.
-
Ok, it looks like we are on for tonight. I am still finalising our member-count, but we could have 3-5 for tonight. I won't be staying on late to organise it from our side, so one of the others will be doing it.
-
Sure, that sounds good :) Give me your IG names and I will invite you.
I'm Klingzog, my friend is Mav42. Just dissolved my coalition with him, so we should both be able to join now.
Definitely coming along well for you!
I got one town that lasted until day 10, +55 points there. All my others have failed to last to day 5 :P
I am quite curious about how the veteran towns work - if you have over 100 points, would you random both types of towns?
I think you only get the option of veteran towns, but I'm not sure.
Secondly, if the first person randoms a 100 town, but the others in the coalition do not have 100 points...what then?
As far as I know, everyone joins. But I'm not entirely sure, we'll have to test it! :D
-
I think there won't be a big difference with veteran towns. Meta's, that's where it's at 8)
-
We should have 5 for tonight. I've asked Nathan/Klingzog if he can coordinate with squishy to join the same town. If not, then hopefully someone else in our coalition can.
-
Lol, this is rather cruel. Just when I had resigned myself finishing tonight, I found two drugs which made Twinoid. Now I would probably survive tonight if I tried. Or I could just leave it and join the town after the attack :-\ ???:-\
-
join dune of the lost!

wait Bael is still alive and the town is filling up too fast. Let's just decide what time we are all going to join together for tomorrow. I am gonna let myself get killed by zombies.
-
Ok, so tonight was a failure. Not only did I somehow survive with only sleeping in a tomb (no region enhancements) on my fifth consecutive night in the desert (whats up with that?), but Zakilevo (Tony J) has joined a town too early. It will likely be full by the time Squishy comes online.
For future reference: we must join a town only once Squishy is online, and the people who have just died have had a chance to leave the last town.
Edit: I'm just seeing whether Zak and Fleugs want to try again tomorrow (have their characters get eaten on day one), we just all join towns and try again next time we are all dead.
-
Okay, so we try to die now?
-
I'm drugged, thirsty, seriously wounded and surrounded by a horde of 9 zombies (and I'm the only human). 8)

Last night didn't happen for numerous reasons, from fluke survival to over-eager town-joining action. Final try set up for tonight, is good yes?
-
Yeah. Coalition #1 already decided to join a town on it's own if tonight is another failure :)
-
Yeah, I would like to try stick around to organise it from our side like the first time, but it's too late for me to stay up only for a game. Hopefully it will come off well, and I'll wake up to a new, awesome, town!
PS: this is why it would be good to join on saturday or sunday, because then squishy would plausibly be on right after the assault, and I could coordinate nicely with him :)
-
So what time are we all going to be on to join the same town?
-
So what time are we all going to be on to join the same town?
As soon as Squishy comes online. And only then please.
This will perhaps be a bit more than an hour after the start of the attack, or later if he gets held up like yesterday (which was 3 hours after the attack).
Update: Ok, so three are currently available. Just waiting for Tony to leave town, then waiting on squishy. I'm going to be turning in shortly, so it will be up to one of them to coord it.
-
Yes, sometimes work needs to get done before going home, it happens.
However, I am here now.
EDIT: So I know the timer supposedly ticks down to the horde attack, but I always see the attack happen an hour before the timer ends. So what is it clocking?

Awesome. Just waiting on Zak to leave his town (hopefully soon). I think the clock is just the daily cycle. For me it is the same time as me, so I can use it as a clock.

I'm here too. Tell me how I join your town, squishy.

I'm here too. Tell me how I join your town, squishy.
We have to join, then squishy will join us. How long do you (fleugs&squishy) want to wait for our 4th member to log in?
PS: about the clock, is it not French time (where the game originated)? I'm just guessing though.
-
You join a town, post the town's name here immediately, and I follow.
-
I'm about to go offline.
-
They don't need to be online to join us, unless they aren't available. If they aren't available I say we go on without them.

He was making sure to die in the attack. We just need him to login and leave the town so that he is available :-\
Edit: now i'm getting the "site down for maintenance" because they are too stingy to have enough servers...
-
I know if we don't join a town shortly people in my coalition will want to go on without you guys just because they are anxious to get started.
-
Yeah, i'm talking waiting a matter of minutes, not more.
-
Oh ok sure no one in my coalition will be on for about another two hours so I'm good if you need a few. Just say how much you want to wait and I'll come back then.
-
Damn...I hate complications. I'll ask if one of my coalition mates can log in later and set it up...otherwise might be best to do it now.
Edit: looks like no one can do it in an hour, so going to join a town now. Its a pity to drop zak, but he is late :/
2nd edit: just waiting for some towns with fewer people to open up...
-
I'm game to start now and I'll be on for about 5 more hours, though Tom(Balanuir) will be on in two hours and he'll want to be in a town then.
EDIT: OK
-
That 39 town just won't close - any idea if I might random it by chance?
EDIT: JOINED Mounds of the burned! Second person in :)

Expeditions
As you can see, we are in quite a dangerous area. What time would be good for us to meet and run an expedition or two? Going by game time, most of the day (9am to 9pm) is available, varying on days. 10 am would be perfect for me.
-
A question: when people go "farming" outside of the town (i.e. collecting stuff), is it possible for them to take something extra with them? Because I find the amount of stuff you can carry very limited. Any tips concerning that?
Also, what benefit does an expedition give you? I might be interested in doing this but right now I'm just scavenging practically next to the town, for some basic materials. Maybe I stick to building until I learn some more.
-
There's a manbag you can find for extra space, but it seems to be rare. Otherwise, as a Hero you can be a Tamer and get extra space.
Also, if you use 6 AP to search around, you can drink your water ration / food to get back, freeing up an extra space and allowing you to grab something as you move back.
-

Manbag (+1 items), Shopping Trolly (+2 items, can't carry heavy), Ultra-Rucksack (+2 items). All of those are exclusive, so best to go for an Ultra-Rucksack if you find one. You can also find a Utility Belt which can be used in conjunction with any of those to give +1 items.

I've found manbags to be pretty common, actually. Maybe I'm just lucky?

We should start cornering zombies and contain them in a certain area. Like we let zombies infest the north east or the south east of the map while we clear out rest of the map?

They tend to be spawned anywhere after each turn though.
-
If I am not mistaken they do not spawn randomly. They slowly spread out to neighboring regions. I know this because when my town got wiped out last time I was in the bottom left corner of the map, which I cleaned out. It took zombies 3 days to to reach me. They didn't pop out of nowhere.
-
I heard monsters spawn in abandoned houses/buildings on the map, and spread out from there. Source: the day 22 video someone posted a link to
-
I've read something similar on the World Forums. Zombies will spawn around other zombies and in regions with abandoned buildings. Looking at our map, however, this doesn't seem right as a few of the buildings have less zombies than the regions around them.

Yeah, I read about that too. That and the fact that if you kill one zombie during the day, another one in the region dismantles during the night (which really saves loads of ammo!). So you get to control them by going into a region and killing one or two guys - meaning you actually killed 2-4 - and they'll first regenerate in that region, then spread to the next.

Did anyone ever try to actually kill off all zombies instead of hiding in the village? Or would it just take X days to do that, X being over the possible amount of survived days.

People do kill the zombies to keep the lands clean for scavenging, but the zombies that are on the world beyond don't interfere with the number of zombies during the nightly attack.

A Coalition lets you play in the same town as the other guys in your coalition. You both have to be waiting at the same time, then as soon as one of you joins, the other person joins too. You also get a nice little chat feature.
-
Maybe we should re-organise the coalitions?
The first is still doing good, and I really enjoy it, but maybe we could spread out the fun. The second coalition failed, I believe, and a few members started a new one? And now a third (technically fourth) coalition has been started by Bluelake and DH.
If we would put the 'die-hards' in different coalitions, we could make sure at least two coalitions have Heroes in them. That way we can all play together, AND we'd pair the newbies to the 1337 players ;) for instance, I'd like to explain the game to the new people, but it's difficult if they're in another coalition.
Anyways; if you read up a bit online: the guides will get you quite far.

I'd like this a lot. :) Even if only one person comes over, it'd be good enough to give us some tips on the spot. Guides are pretty good, but everyday I still face questions I don't have who to ask or with whom to discuss: newbie towns usually have lots of newbies who don't discuss, and oldies who don't have the patience to post unless we're doing something really wrong.
Anyways; if you read up a bit online: the guides will get you quite far.
By the way, I'm trying to find a construction guide of sorts, with building orders and reasons for choosing them. Have anyone see on of those? If so, link?
Cheers.
-
I haven't seen a construction guide, but I think it all depends on the circumstances anyway.
A base build order would be:
*Search tower and workshop on day one (crucial)
*great wall, and great pit after (if possible the Wall also on day 1)
Depending on the water supply go for pump earlier or later, and also the veggie plot. After that it's just upgrading whatever defenses you can in order to stay ahead of the zombie growth
I haven't made it past day 10 yet :) We needed emergency defenses and everything, but I think it's best to avoid those if possible, building foundations and other upgrades instead/
Though I'm having great fun where I am now, I wouldn't mind switching over. But I'd like to see some stats on who's playing first :)
-
Hmm, I used to like Die2Nite until I realized that even with my friends along, I would always end up in towns with retards. Managing to play with people from BM might provide a better experience. Who's still doing this?
-
lol, ain't that realistic though. In real crisis situations you'll have all types. Some would be subversive because they're super selfish, others might be too shocked by fear to do anything but take up oxygen and other resources, some might get the idea that they should turn on their fellow survivors to increase their own odds, some just turn into sheep to allow whoever screams the loudest to herd them, some scream louder and louder to gain dominion over the sheep. And apart from the aforementioned bunch of idiots, there might be one or two actually competent survivors. If they can take command of the group, the group generally succeeds. If not, then the group generally does poorly, and the competent survivor has mixed results depending on his/her actions. Too much effort into continuing to attempt helping survivors who don't want or can't be saved will often lead to the competent one going down with the rest of them. If he takes some more actions geared towards self-preservation, that often leads to the sole/very small group of survivors left standing at the end.
And this can be gained through the testimonials of survivors of disasters like plane crashes, shipwrecks, etc.

Hmm, I used to like Die2Nite until I realized that even with my friends along, I would always end up in towns with retards. Managing to play with people from BM might provide a better experience. Who's still doing this?
We have two coalitions of 10 active people, and 2 other people who are currently figuring out the game and will make a coalition soonish (perhaps). This makes a total of 12 people, of which 11 play BM.
PS:I didn't even see that people used up so much AP yesterday building building foundations, portal lock and armour...
-

In the same town?
-
We managed to get 9 in :)
Edit: going camping for tonight.

Well since we're looking to get the coalitions restructured we should get a list going for who is playing. Copy paste the list and add yourself to it.

Well done, did we get everyone or are there others? Also, are there any other heroes besides myself? If your on the fence about it and it helps you don't use hero days when your not in a game, so whenever we wait and try to setup our coalitions into a town we won't be wasting hero days. We really need number of coalitions minus one in heroes to play together effectively as one coalition can join a random town and the other coalitions with a hero can follow. If it is just me as a hero then really we can only have the two coalitions and everyone else will have to play alone.

Just myself and squishy left eh? Gives a whole new meaning to "The first shall be last"! I hope you get the hero points squishy, but please leave some stuff for me to pillage from you ;)
Edit: you got a 1 in 4 shot! Man, if I knew more people were going to leave the town, I probably would have stayed :-\
-
I'm not sure about my chances though because one guy put his house defense up to 16 and I've only got mine at 9 so unless he gets hit with 17 zombies before I randomly get assigned 10 this probably won't happen.
-

As far as I know, the winner is chosen randomly. So the amount of defense that you have doesn't matter if you all end up dying, even if you only had a tent. I reckon you will get 400+ tonight, as I strongly suspect the report of "Tonight's attack: 195 - 300 " is way off -we were attacked by (356?) last night. And I doubt the attack numbers are supposed to go down...
The defenses will probably be about 340, counting the bonus from the pit upgrade (51), so there is a chance that he might survive, although I wouldn't bet on it. With only 4 people to share the zombies, there will be plenty to go around.
-
I did not receive it, oh well. Our coalition will most likely not be available to join up again until after one more town to test something. I still did have a question for everyone playing.

Tough luck man :/
Yeah, I was kicking myself for not staying. Then we would have had a 50% chance of getting it...that is why it is better to wait until later in the day before acting :/
The really odd thing was: the attack was actually much lower than last night: 277 zombies
-
Yay!
First time camping out and everything went fine! :)
-
So joining a Distant Town as a hero with over 100 soul points did indeed drag my coalition with me :)

Damn, and I'm not with you. But the town I have right now is really cool. Veggie field and almost 300 defenses up on day 4. Few deaths so far, strong scavenging troops, strong builders - we get over 100 AP into building every day, reliably. Really rocks. We'll get around 350 zombies tonight, and I'm not afraid.

I had a town like that, we managed to get to day 10 before someone used our Concrete Blocks on Foundations instead of a Stone Cannon and we got killed :(
Just be sure to watch out for people wasting Nuts & Bolts and Concrete Blocks, gets ridiculously difficult to get them when the zombies start to surround the town.
-
Sounds awesome Tom good luck :)
-
Do we have any heroes in the game?
I'd like to restructure the coalitions like a lot of people have been asking for but we can't do it without that question being answered. Which is why I keep asking.
-
Sounds like you guys are doing well :)
Klingzog did a good job in getting us into a 100+ town, so hopefully ours will also proceed smoothly!

Well, it looks like we just hit a 120zed spike (140 - 160 on day 2) so its not looking that great now...

Good to have you on-board :) You will likely be getting an invite from Bluelake, although there has been talk of reorganising the coalitions. We should now have 13 people playing.

There will not be a reorganization. We only have room for two coalitions, everyone else will have to play on their own.

Man.. the new map was so big. It's too bad we got a huge zombie spike on day 2.

Yeah, I was looking forward to it. And we could have survived I reckon, if people weren't already planning for day 10 :/
PS: I'm going to try get to the corner of our map Zak. See whats down there :)
-
damn I want to go with you but I spent all my hour burying dead people :(
-
DoctorHarte isn't playing, and Phellan already joined a coalition.
-
Guess what I forgot to do again? 2nd veteran town, second time I forget to log in before day one attack...
-
I remember playing this, back when it was still beta. Are most people still idiots, or has the general IQ of the member base improved in the months since?
-
they are still idiots. but when you play in bigger maps there are fewer morons.

Yep, I'm currently making it... sorry to spoil the surprise, but it's a conical hat with a big "D" on it ;D
-
Our current town has 12 heroes in it :D
How are things going with the other coalition (hereafter referred to as Coalition Alpha)?
-
That sounds awesome for coalition beta? Alpha just finished a thirteen day stint in a decent town that was a distant town for 100+ soul point folks. I believe we're going to join another one today or tomorrow.
-

Hey, that sounds awesome! My current goal is to make it past the 10 day mark. Then 20 would be my upper goal :) (my other goal is to get "Viking" title from pillaging).
-
We just got out of a Town where we survived 13 days, that was very nice. Now we got into a new town full of griefers, stealers, people with 20+-shunned history and other not-so-friendly people, so we're trying to kill ourselves and not waste our days there.
-
omg we survived 500 zombie spike in day 7! YAHOO~~~~!
-
omg we survived 500 zombie spike in day 7! YAHOO~~~~!
Indeed we did, I was quite surprised. 2 free days ahead of us now. Shame the new season starts tomorrow, so we probably won't get those points :(
-
what?! that blows!
-
How are things going in Alpha with season three? In beta we are in 4 different towns lol :D
Last night the gates got left open in my town, so I"m one of four survivors. I was over the town, so hopefully we all get wiped tonight. I wonder if the hero-days for LMS still work the same?
-
Wow that is a number of towns to be in within a week. We are on our first town still on day 7 at the moment. Though zombies have risen to the 240-340 range and we only have about 240 defences so not looking great for tonight especially since most of our effort has been in getting a 35 point defense structure that still isn't finished yet.
-
Yeah, we went from 100 Zombies to 200+. After day 5, they really start growing. And with the new system, we don't have a Search Tower and our Architect's Study can't be build since we need Vodka or something :P
-
Heh, we got search tower AND architects study. We even found factory plans last night. However, as I say, the town is dead. What is interesting is that the stuff costs a lot less to build (the houses).
Each one of us went to a separate town, is what I meant ;)
I joined one first, then Zak, then Kling, then Mav came back recently and joined.
-
I'm dead! Someone left our gates open again. Last time only one person died because of some new feature that ensures not everyone dies during an attack. This time we had 11 deaths >.<
I'm not really liking the new season, it seems like survival is a lot more luck based. That wouldn't be too bad if there weren't griefers, but those guys make it even harder to stay alive now >.<
-
Yeah, the lack of any hacksaw or Factory is really hurting our town :(
-
My town still didn't find the factory blueprint :( We have 99 wood but cant convert them into planks fast enough...
-

Yes, while I like the fact that it is encouraging people to camp out in the buildings, it really makes it a lot tougher.
-
Eh, had a 1 in 4 shot at LMS, but unfortunately didn't get it. Will be trying out my second town tomorrow hopefully.
PS: I really think the factory should be one of the initial blueprints available. It is an essential building, and waaay to important to be left to chance!
-
joined.. no clue what i'm doing..
ishimu
the auto search thing... is it when you keep browser open on that page during all those hours only?
-
Nah. You don't have to. Just press the button and come back after a good night sleep :)
Don't upgrade your house beyond the tent. People go all ape **** on you if you do!
Just read the forum and you will see what your town needs the most.
-
eh... why would they go ape !@#$?
-
Well I don't know about it now but you used to need resources to upgrade your house after the first level (tent).
You need those resources to quickly build the town defense not some individual's house defense. If you play in a good town,
they will ban you for upgrading your house calling you 'selfish'.
There are 2 major ways to play the game I think.
One - stay in the town and help others build stuff. Like working in the construction site.
Two - Go out and gather resources. This gets very tough after day 6 or 7 if your town didn't clear zombies around the town constantly. Squares around the town will be depleted within four days if you search hard. After that you have to go even farther and if you go too far you won't be able to come back.
-
Those two do exist though often a builder will gather a little or some people might go 50/50. So a pure builder would just sit in town and spend his AP on building buildings or converting useless materials into useful materials. The pure searcher will spend all their AP going outside hitting up a bunch of regions to search and then making their way home on a different path so they can search all those spots as well because you can only search each square once a day unless you use auto search. Most builders won't just spend all AP constructing they'll move outside of town one square and search then let their character auto search for a number of hours and move back into town then spend the rest of their AP constructing. So on a normal day you get 6 AP when you wake, if you drink water 6 AP more, and if you eat another 6 AP and that is fairly normal to get 18 AP but easily 12 at least so a builder to spend 2 AP moving just outside of town to perhaps find 3 or more items is fairly worth it. A builder with more scavenging in mind after a couple days see that the zones immediately around the town are depleted so you'll mostly find junkie items might spend a couple more AP moving further out of town to auto scavenge zones that aren't depleted yet.
-

I'll drop you an invite to our coalition - we currently only have four people. Right now is a good time to join, because a new season has just started, so a lot of people are learning about the new game (it has changed a lot).
Two important things above what has been said already: (1) if you want to go outside, make sure you plan your route properly, and that you will have enough AP to get back. (2) For now, stick to zones that have already been explored. You won't run into dangerous regions this way, and will live longer.
-
Oh yes, and read up about it. The main changes have been to building, but you can find out a lot of the other stuff by reading the wiki.
-
went outside... and eh... didn't get to go home... i did kill 3 zombies with a water bomb.. alas apparently wasted as i didn't live long enough... that is the same water bomb that took the water that i should have drunk on the 1st day... doh.
i've joined the coalition... i guess i'll just build stuff this time around... maybe nip out a little bit for auto search
-
Just ask coalition members what you need to do... nvm you are in my coalition rofl! just ask bael what to do :)

Yeah, I believe that before day five, if you die on that day (including in the attack), your achievements for the same day will not count. They will count if you die in the attack after day five, however. Dehydration, cyanide and infection will make you lose anything from that day, regardless of what day it is.
-
Oh are you back Bael? My town got wiped out on day 11. Well there still are some survivors though.. I am not one of those.

Best not to throw animals at zombies unless you are stuck and no one is coming to help you. They can be turned into food later ;)

For the zombie fans, I found this somewhat cool zombie flash game:

You can also play a bigger screen at the makers' site (although I haven't tested that).

I'm slapsticks ingame if you've still got a coalition running.

Not that I know of.
-
The coalition I'm in is still full. Has anything been done to reshuffle the coalitions, yet?
I believe it was cancelled because we could only effectively join two coalitions to the same town. Anyone interested in trying a double-coalition town again?
PS: you got invite slap :)
-
Anyone interested in trying a double-coalition town again?
I'm sure we are :) I missed the last attempt :/
-
Last one was pretty good. Didn't Tom die pretty quickly? :o
-
Just like in our last town ;D
We should do it again, Bael we'll be busy for a few days more and I'll post again once we're getting close to the end.
-
Part of our coalition is dead and the rest should be dead soon. How are you guys looking?
-
Well I can just make my guy run outside and die whenever you guys are ready. Tell us a day ahead.
-
My town will be dead soon. Likely devastated tonight or tomorrow. Doubt anyone will be alive past 4 days, tops. Even with camping and everything.
-
Crap, I died2nite
-
i died and got eaten by 7 zombies... apparently last man standing (eh?!) and got 6 hero days out of it.. XD
-
I'm going to make myself unavailable until we can group together. How is alpha coalition looking?
-
Gates open, so all of us except me got killed :P
-
.. did you open the gate though..? XD
last time i looked on the day i died, someone opened the gate and wandered outside (and he died outside too... XD)
-
Nobody closed it :P
-
Nobody closed it :P
That's always fun XD
I don't know if the gates are going to get closed in our town tonight, but then again, I don't know that it would matter. Our minimum attack is double our defense :o
Edit: our = my. We are all in different towns for this round heh :)
-
So will Coalition Alpha be available for tonight? Or tomorrow? We now have a hero (for six days), so we could join you guys, this time ;)
-
Not sure how Tom is doing. I'm left with one other guy in my town and should die tonight.
-
if someone tell me which town to join... i have flu/cold/something and won't be around for much of tomorrow (to do the joining immediately after the other coalition?... every time i look, i can only see 2 small maps that i can join... unless someone else tells me another way) . i am <100 points..
-
You follow your Coalition if you're set as ready. To have everyone join up, you just need 1 Hero in each Coalition joining the same Town.
-
yes... the problem is i'm the hero... XD and i need to know which town to join.
-
We won't know till after the attack.
-
well. i'll go to sleep earlier than the atk... and hopefully be awake around 6-7am tomorrow morning uk time (going to take a cold pill to ensure proper sleep)... let me know what town to join, if we do it tomorrow. i won't be online between 9am to maybe 7pm tomorrow

Ok, no worries. We can just do it the normal way. I'll be online to check things out tonight, after the attack.
-
Hm, looks like we won't be going tonight.
-
I think everyone is ready. We can all join once slapstick logs on
-

We're waiting for the other coalition, to see if they are ready. I'm going off in about 10 - if you see the hero from Alpha come on, you can organise with him Zak.
Try join when there are only distant towns with few people in.
-
Bael is still alive.
-
what? is he really still alive?
-
No, slapsticks is still "alive", but only because he hasn't confirmed dead yet.

No, he is still alive.

Tom has made one for all of us. If you ask him nicely, I'm sure he'll get you one too. He'll need your e-mailadress, though
-
ok... all 5 of our coalition are ready
-
I won't be online at night anymore to organise the joining, so someone else from my coalition will need to do it.
The procedure is as follows:
1)Set a date to join together. As we have not heard from Alpha, I do not know when they will be joining us. So for now we wait.
2)Make sure the hero from Coalition alpha is online (he will post here).
3)Wait until there are faraway regions available with fewer players in them (or at least none with 30+ players in already).
4)Join a town, then post here what it is so coalition A. can follow.
-
Nathan, this is how the conversation went and why you are mistaken.
Squishymaster - Bael is still alive.
Zakilevo - What? is he really still alive?
Nathan - No, slapsticks is still "alive", but only because he hasn't confirmed yet.
We were talking about Bael.
Also, Bael is now dead but hasn't signed on yet. He should be signing on soon and once that happens we are good to go.
-
Squishy, I think you're mistaking who Bael is. He's Baelorr in my coalition and he's been dead for a few nights now. Maybe you're thinking of Balanuir? Which is Tom.
-
My apologies. You are quite correct I was thinking Bal and wrote Bael. The spelling error was mine.
-
tom's on holiday.. are we waiting for him to come back?
-
did bael go on a holiday as well? I am pretty sure Tom will come back in like 4 or 5 days. We can just start a town now and die altogether when Tom comes back. It is extremely boring to just sit and wait doing nothing for over two days :(
-
I reckon we are going to start so long. I was hoping to get a quick join in together, but it seems nothing is moving.
-
i've started us in "the strange wood" fairly empty when i joined.
-
Tom is on holiday till Sunday, after that I say we try.
EDIT: Checked die2nite coalition chat and Tom set himself to ready so that if we join we'll drag him with us and he said join after the attack coming up in about 10 hours (tonight for me). If you guys are free after tonights attack we can try.
-
eh... too late XD
-
we should still try this. And with everyone having avatars. I want to have a town dominated by BM players! :)
-

Theres a new rule that limits the amount of 'coalition players' to 20, including Heroes who joined by themselves by picking the town from the list
-
we are in some newbie town... thanks to me.. XD
-
Ours does look that good either. Left gates open on day one, luckily no one died in the town, but we did lose 8 people who decided it would be cool to stay outside during the attack. So I guess we'll have another shot at joining up again soon.
-
...but we did lose 8 people who decided it would be cool to stay outside during the attack.
This seems to be the latest fad. I think it's because of the whole meta-cutdown.
-
Another day goes by and we lose no one in town again. However, we did lose 6 outdoors again. Love it. Perhaps we can try getting together again in a couple days or less?
-

We beat you there. 0 indoors, 11 terminal dehydration, 1 infection and 1 outside.

and i think the town might not have enough defences tonight...

I doubt it will totally wipe. But one of you is welcome to come *Camp in my spot ; )

Lets see what tonight holds and by the sounds of it maybe we'll see if we're all dead by the next night.
-
The tales of the town's demise were overwrought, me fears...
Much to my disappointment, the town is not even devastated. I was hoping to do some ǜber pillaging, but alas...
Incidentally, the coalition chat is really annoying me. What was that chat room that was mentioned a while back please?
-
irc?:P
The town we are in just left the gates open, I think for the third night in a row. No deaths the first two times, and now only 2 :) the code has been altered seriously
-
hehe.. 4 in town.. 2 of us vs 2 multies.. XD
i've upgraded my house to house... should have paid attention to the req for air raid shelter (stupid thing doesn't say so in the game, but states the material.. made me think it was possible)
upgrading storage space to pinch all the def items..
i've eaten, drunk, drunk alchol, drugs x2... XD
have 1 ap to spare to close the door and hope the 2 multies die 1st.
and what happens? game site too many connections..

20 def <- me
10 def <- Klingzog (shack)
6 def <- multi1 (shack)
6 def <- multi2 (shack)
chances are everyone will be house by tomorrow...
probably 100+ (115+?) zombies.. def = 99 maybe i should leave gate open.. otherwise i would die from running out of drugs... XD

probably 100+ (115+?) zombies.. def = 99 maybe i should leave gate open.. otherwise i would die from running out of drugs... XD
Yeah, rather leave the door open.
-
chances are everyone will be house by tomorrow...
Depends, if I don't have to have all the resources in my rucksack, but can have some in my chest, then I can. Air Raid Shelter needs 5 items to build, but both rucksack and chest only have 4 slots.
If it comes down to just me and you, then I'll let you have the hero days. You've wasted your days on a noob town so seems only fair I let you top yours up a bit more.
-
we are all in houses now... and we can't build the shelter/upgrade further.. i tried. we need a town building called "Builders' Merchant"
which was why i had to take a 2nd drug - i used ap to make extra iron that turned out to be unnecessary
as for the hero days.. no big deal... not like i paid for it.
ps... don't go and die deliberately... my char has a clock ticking over his head... the drugs thing
-
For myself, in D2N I always try make sure I have two options. Two outs, an ace up the sleeve, a bird in the hand...eh scratch the last one ;D
Why do I say this? Well, at the moment you have a 1 in 4 shot at the LMS tonight ishi. If everyone wipes tonight, whoever gets it, gets it. All the defense of the houses will not matter in determining who gets it, because it is random. However, if you survive tonight, you won't get it even if you are the only survivor. Because dying from withdrawal doesn't grant LMS. Unless you can get some more drugs somewhere...
So getting hooked on drugs ultimately killed one of your outs. Now you either have to get it tonight (which is why I suggest you leave the gates open/open them if the multi closes them), or find some more drugs tomorrow (you will have 18ap to do this but it's still quite a risk).

Well said, which is why I kept the drug that Ishi gave me - being the nice guy I am, if we survive, I'll send it back :D
-
i have 1 more piece of unlabelled drug... it's... unreliable.
hell, i went through the whole town's newbie package and brewed any and all drugs available.
----
damn... one of the multies didn't die.
.... .gah.. killed by 27 zombies.. if only there's 7 less

Eh, that's a pity. Not like he deserves it...
How is the other town doing? Shall we join a new village, or wait?
-
How is Coalition Alpha doing? Devastation on the horizon yet? We are ready and waiting. Or should we join another town so long?
-
2 down 3 to go. Maybe they'll be dead after tonights attack?
-
I would like to get started tomorrow night if possible, so please keep us in the loop ;)
Edit: we will likely be starting tonight, unless one or more in our group still want to wait.
-
We're good to start together after this upcoming attack. I'll try to be on shortly after the attack.
-
Well we don't have a hero, do you guys still have one?
I'll try and log in just after the attack and get us into a distant town, I'll then post the name of that town here and you guys join that one?
I've set my alarm clock to go off just after the attack, so hopefully that means I'll actually remember this time :P

The main thing is to make sure that Squishy is online when you join a town. He will post here when he comes online, no doubt. If you just join a town, and he has been delayed, it will fill up before he gets a chance to join.
The ideal time to join is when there are only towns with less than 25 people in them. Because you will be randoming a town, you might end up in one that is almost full if you join when there are towns that have 30+ people. Then all the waiting would be wasted, because Squishy might not be able to join it.
Finally, once a town has been joined, post whichever one it is here and we can get going ;)
-
die2nite is running the attack so we can do this shortly.
-
Well I can join a town now (oddly I haven't seen it go down for the attack), you good to go?
-
Yes.
-
The Tumescent Pampas.
-
I see 8 BattleMaster sigs, w00t. Are you guys 2 members short of a full group or do 2 of you not have the sigs?
-
I see 9 sigs, only Slapsticks is missing one :)
-
We're awesome ;D
-
someone come and save me! I am stuck in 3/-1 with 5 zombies !! my washing machine broke after killing a zomebie ffs!
-
Really!? Day 1!?
-
ok.. going to 3/-1... only thing is.. no weapon.. XD
4 zombies left.. (3 of us)
-

Exactly. Who's without an avatar?
-
I still need one. My ingame name is Slapsticks.
-
this is odd.. i see 4/5 for our coalition... and the missing one is slapsticks..
does that mean the other coalition is missing 1?
-

Nope, everyone is accounted for. Good work getting us together again folks!
-

Yeah, thanks :)
-
yay... 9 dead already
---
i'll be autosearching in 1,-3 until tonight. i've dropped the battery launcher with 1 spare battery and a twinoid 500mg that i found so far on the floor there, in case someone passes by and desperately needs it before i take it home.
---
... 1 thing i haven't figured out is this.. if people use external map and most don't or at least don't update their trips.... is it better to label a depleted zone as depleted if it's got stuff on the floor?
-

I'll likely be by for the battery launcher. Have to rescue that bloke at 2/-2.

Quite often people don't even bother to update the map from items to depleted even when the items are gone. I just mark depleted, myself. And mark everything else on the exmap.
EDIT: got Jarpen now. Can almost taste that architects study already ;D
-
yay... i think the gate's open...
-
yay... i think the gate's open...
Yep...thankfully only one got killed though.
This Deckm has the smell of a griefer...Not only has he not apologised, but now he took two pharmaceuticals as soon as he returned (along with food, the knife he broke, and something to repair it - although these are more reasonable).
If he gets stuck out again, we should just leave him.
Edit: he is pretty active at searching buildings though, i'll give him that. I'm going to keep an eye on him regarding griefing...
Second Edit: I'm looking to rescue those guys that are stuck out there. Even with extra equipment, I don't think that I can do it on my own. Anyone up for a mission? You will need food and water.
-
Can someone please keep that paracetoid in their for me? As a last resort I may decide to take a meaty bone and alcohol for these guys to get back, if they survive tonight.
-
I just realized that half of the surviving people in town are now BM coalition members. 8)
-
... is that good or bad? kill the other lot for the free hero days?
-
... is that good or bad? kill the other lot for the free hero days?
Tempting, but nah. We need them to survive a little longer so we can get more hero days out of our survival. Keep them around for another 2/3 days, then think about eating them :P
-
I like your thought process.
-
Sounds evil. I like it :D
-
Now if only we could get a hold on this! http://die2nitewiki.com/wiki/Meat_Locker ;D
-
don't know about that.. i found a dildo though.... now if only there's a battery factory or something...
and a huge trousers snake too....
-
Squishymaster: Please stop taking the twinoid (and alcohol) just to use it to convert materials. It should be saved for emergencies, not just used whenever you feel like it.
-
Sounds like we have our first meat locker victim 8) ;D
-
I can't stop, I'M ADDICTED ;D
Well I can stop with the booze but I can't stop with the drugs. I want to leave the steroids in there so I'm switching over to unlabeled drugs, the only problem is I might have to take more than one to get the drugged effect for the day. I also was taking the waking the dead because every town that I've been in that got destroyed had useful items in the bank like that for extra AP and I thought if we used all those items earlier for AP perhaps we wouldn't have died so soon.
-
I can't stop, I'M ADDICTED ;D
Ugh, how did you manage that? >.<
-
I can't stop, I'M ADDICTED ;D
Bad squishy, BAD! No dindins for you!
-
...someone caught something off me.... XD
---
if only we find the graveyard thingy.. again.. 10 def per deadmeat.
-
Speaking of addicted, I'm a bit of a title junkie. Are there any titles that you guys are going for?
I'm currently aiming for, in this order:
Exterminator (200 zeds, need 48 more.)
Alone in the Dark (25 sleeps outside, 10 more)
Viking (100 pillages, 19 more)
Zen Camper (not a title until 10* are done).
Fearless adventurer (30x distant discoveries, 26 more)
Unshakeable camper* (10, 10 more)
Extreme Explorer (5 extreme discoveries, 5 more).
http://die2nitewiki.com/wiki/Distinctions
-
bit difficult to come up with like 3 or 4 people going out together to just grab stuff that's left on the floor
-
bit difficult to come up with like 3 or 4 people going out together to just grab stuff that's left on the floor
Well, unless people join it, we won't be seeing any more good resources in the town. And then it's just a short downhill run... (as opposed to a longer one).
-
difficult to coordinate.. all those people moving at exactly the same time, then autosearch for a bunch of hours before heading back at exactly the same time..
to avoid the need to use weapons.
----
well.. that's one way to solve problem.. leave the doors wide open XD
our coalition is wiped out... what about the other one? 1 alive i think?
-
I'm the only survivor in Town through sheer luck.
-
only you and no one else? (i mean... including those outside of our coalitions.)
that would be some luck... heh
----
we planning for a double town again?
-
Yep. I'm the only one. Though I do have a cat to talk to. At least I'll get LMS for the third time in a row :P
-
Yep. I'm the only one.
So, tough decision. Do you build or scavenge today? :P
-
So, tough decision. Do you build or scavenge today? :P
Best go camping, I guess. In town you're dead anyways :)
-
Camping loses your day and loses your LMS distinction and free hero days. I'm huddling up, got my house full of defences, got it upgraded and managed to barely complete the Rock Cannon + voted for Great Pit to up defences to 354 with 19 house defence. Also looted everyone and sprinkled most of them with water.
-
If you survive tonight, you'll get 5 hero days. Survive tomorrow and you'll get 6 :)
You'd need to survive more than 15 days to get any more, however.
-
well.. at least you don't have to worry about water... much..
you do have ap to close the gates? XD

all dead now
-
We're dead as well. You guys wanna go again? If so I'm online now.
-
new town tonight right after hoarde?

Sounds good, if someone from our group can get on. I've been sick, so going to bed early of late.
-
Sounds good, I'll tell Alpha.
-
so.. what do i do.. just join a random town and drop the name down here?
-
best coordinate on IRC. Timing is of the essence
-
channel?
----------
i'm sitting in the main bm channel.
-
Fodder = Ishimu?
-
Yep.
Btw Tom - that link that you gave for quakenet doesn't work ???
Oh wait. I think it might just be my computer/connection being special. It looks like google also isn't working...
2nd edit: Confirmed. My connection was just being special. For some reason when I change from one ISP to another, some sites work, while others don't. So I have to reset my modem.
-
I'm here, but it looks like you guys just joined a random town without waiting. Maybe next time.
-
tom was there. except the town i randomly joined.. was then full.. yup me again
-----
the join random town thing.. does it just pick one from the 4/5 or whatever listed?
-
yeah, ideally we have one hero in each coalition so they can select a town together.
-
Unfortunately our town didn't find a table, so its been somewhat short-lived. Only one of us left alive.
How is CA (Coalition Alpha) doing?
-
day 9. 6 left good thing i pillaged a water ration and a hydrazone thingy.... if only i can stay alive for another day or 2
-
We got no table either though :( But we found the hacksaw (Two of them to taunt us), which helped us out.
-

Hehe, we could have done with a hacksaw :)
On the plus side, we camped every building within the Search Tower sight (5 or 6 of them), and got advanced map, search tower and small factory. Unfortunately the town wasted too many pharms, and spent too much time building/doing fluff, so had too little defense.
-
now dead with 5 hero days... and off to sleep i go. not sure how late i can stay up for the next few days as i'm dead tired now.
-
Got LMS again, lucky bastard I am.
Also, corpses not dragged out of Town can instant-kill you. Lesson learned. Thought they would just count as 1 zombie...
-
ok.. so we are all dead then? meet up tonight (hopefully, if i don't fall asleep 1st) and join the same town?
i'll be on normal bm channel near day change.
-
Good work with the town this time round ;) ;D
It looks like a large amount of these people have been playing for a long time. This should likely be our longest lasting town ever, so try not to die ;)
-
you never know... with that griefer around?
-
you never know... with that griefer around?
Eh, one bad apple, it is to be hoped. Soon to be tossed onto the rubbish heap.
-
He's probably done enough to be reported and not just shunned. Combining resources is fine, but trying to lock out half of the town? That's just ruining other people's game.
-
... and all those outside? what happened to squishy?
-
Didn't realize we started a new town.
-
so... did you use up a hero day during the day of no class? did you get thirsty?
-
so... did you use up a hero day during the day of no class? did you get thirsty?
If you don't choose a class you die of dehydration, I think.
-
Meh. I'm stuck :-[
-
the next MMJ is planned for the 26. of september, at 0:10 gametime. just make sure you are dead by then and click on "join a town randomly" and your chance of getting many active players is rather high.
just read the "Mega Meta Jump - Round 3 Info"-thread on the world forum saloon
This sounds like quite a good plan! Would be very cool to get in on this!
-
Official jump time will be at 00:10 on September 27th game time.
^
This is the actual time
-
i don't think we are going to suicide for that, are we?
-
Nah, you got a good town going there it seems. Just letting you know, for those who have died and might want to join. I'll let you know how the town looks :)
-
and the 5 of us are dead.
tom isn't.. but he's sort of inactive.. XD
-
apparently tom was left with 1 other hero in town.. and didn't get lms
so.. plans?
-
and the 5 of us are dead.
tom isn't.. but he's sort of inactive.. XD
not true, I was quite active. Just not as loud as always. :-)
So yes, I had a 50% chance for LMS, and didn't get it. Dead now, ready for next town. Both coalitions together again?
-
ah.. you were building then.. that's why.
bael has joined another town already as part of the meta jump thing and will be staying there
Klingzog is quitting?
leaving 3 of us non heroes
-
Klingzog is quitting?
Yeah, I've just had enough tbh. The amount of griefers annoys me and the blueprint system annoys me too. I might come back at some point, but for now I'm staying "unavailable".
If my coalition needs the spot, then feel free to kick me out.
-
well.. have a look again next month when allegedly the next season starts.
-
well.. have a look again next month when allegedly the next season starts.
Okey dokey. I'll probably keep watching this thread so I should be able to find out when it starts :)
-
i'm going to random join a town tonight... around the wj 4 thingy... sod knows what'll happen
it says it's around 00:10 game time.
http://www.die2nite.com/#saloon/?go=saloon/thread/4370537?page=1;tpage=1
eh... i take the other 2 with me unless they want out? will the other 5 be joining?
-
Hey all,
Just to give an update: my current town has about 22 heroes in it, and we have 38 alive still on day 3. It is looking pretty good, so we should at least finish in the top 10 towns. I am considering making this my last town this season, although I might join some towns just to camp.
-
i random joined "Crossroad of nights of darkness" (and tagged the other 2 along)
XD someone randomly closing gate already...
-
I've had it with the griefers, I'm for sharing our "shun-on-sight" lists. Here is mine:
cafesoneca
MattWalrondZombie
Reddevils06
all people that griefed and severely damaged a town. If I ever see them again, they will get a shun immediately and I'll ask the rest of the town to join in.
-
make a new thread for this? XD
only use i get out of external map.. meta shunning or whatever it is.
---
ps... aside from bael, we are all dead again.
-
heh... apparently there's a "sure win" (well, not really) strat out there. someone is alive for 20 odd days and in french? server it's like 40 odd with basically same method.
---
ps
season 4 starts 15 nov
-
Yeah, what the people (fodgeycakes) realised was that with pretty much all attacks occurring -where there are 10 people or less left in town- only 150 zeds will actually attack the people (and the rest will be 'lazy'). So what they did was build up their houses, and they managed to find two blueprint buildings that increased their individual house defense even more. So the town effectively cannot die, unless they run out of water. The end of the season will likely spell the end of the town, however, and the end of the strategy.
How many people are still actively playing this, by the way?
-
I'm still, and so is our coalition :) Squishy said he'd be quitting after the current town, though. D'Este is cheerfully dieing on day 1, as always :D
-
I really want to play another town with both coalitions.
And I want us to check everyone else in the town on day one, and collectively shun everyone who is obviously a griefer (many banishments or hangings, or suspiciously day 1 deaths).
I'm sick and tired of the game being overrun by them. We need to clean out the town and then run it like a machine, guiding the newbies and helping them, and being absolutely ruthless to anyone who gets in our way. That way we'll have a chance of survival.
With 10 people in town, we can banish anyone we don't like.
-
slapsticks hasn't validated his death... almost a month ago.. i think
not sure about Zakilevo (who's busy) or klingzoq
---
funny thing in my town.
someone got poisoned. then accused another person via soul page (in the town comment bit)
accused promptly got lynched, but then said it wasn't him via soul page.
personally no idea.. wouldn't rule out a suicide XD
-
or klingzoq
I stopped playing a while back. Might go back when the new season starts, but I just can't be bothered with all the griefers right now.
-
New season 15th of November :)
As Tom said, if we all team up, we could try to shun everyone with a bad record. The griefing really hurts the game though.
-
It does. That's why I want to go into town with 10 people and shun all the griefers on day one.
-
died and joined new town.
possibly 2 griefers already XD
theman32 atked someone <--- allegedly he thought it's the "kickass town" where everyone go around beating up people..... yeah right.
reskku (resident) took 5 pharm.. not sure what else he did..
i guess try and join whatshername's town? the one who's won (or will win) all 3 seasons so far?
-
I'll keep you folks updated on when the next Mega Meta Jump is happening, if you would like to try join. It will likely be at 00:10 in the morning though.
It seems like we at Beta have only 2 people left that are playing. It might be worthwhile for us to try join/recruit some others on the chat site for D2N?
-
Definitely.
How many people do we still have in which coalitions? Do we get two coalitions full of active players?
-
Alpha is still 4/5 active, and Squishy hasn't even officially quit yet :)
-
We still have 5 people, but one of them has said that they are no longer playing, while two others seem to be somewhat inactive.
-
I am back! READY FOR ACTION :D
-
Alpha coalition now has one spot free - who has no coalition and wants one?
-
... i can't believe i died camping an armoury in day 2 5 sq away from town. 70-80% too... bah.
-
You can follow the info about the jump here: http://www.die2nite.com/#saloon/?go=saloon/thread/4625341?page=1;tpage=1
The last-minute organisation and preparation is done in the chatroom.
-
So, anyone want to fill the free slot in alpha coalition? We're pretty much done with in the current town - have about 450 defenses and the lowest attack estimate is twice that. We're as good as dead - join us. :)
-
well.. since there are 3 of us effective in beta...... would have to call for new blood..
-
On the matter of the MMJ, as you know it is on the 16th. What I am thinking is that we all jump separately (make yourself "unavailable" then random join at the time), because otherwise it seems we should be letting them know that the coalitions will be jumping. We should get few of us together in a town i reckon.
-
eh.... what is alpha's plan for new season?! we could get 1 from beta to pop over to alpha and the 2 of us jump solo to random.
-
Alpha still has a slot open, and we've agree to join the new season as early as possible. I'm already dead, the others will probably die intentionally if it doesn't happen by itself earlier.
-
Just a reminder: don't forget to read up here about the MMJ if you are planning to jump.
http://www.die2nite.com/#saloon/?go=saloon/thread/4625341?page=1;tpage=1
I suspect it is happening just after tomorrow midnight (16th they say, at 00:10 which is technically after midnight of tomorrow), although trying to get confirmation.
-
oooh.. d2n is down atm.. they are doing the update?
----
season 4 in... they've removed jump cap.... hmm.
-
Just to clarify: it is Tomorrow night, not tonight!
http://timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?msg=MMJ+5&month=11&day=16&year=2011&hour=23&min=45&sec=&p0=195
-
we need to find a bunch of friendly coalitions... to play together... (well.. and fill up beta with a hero XD)
-
Woah BM plays Die2Nite? Eithad is Eithad, when I am not in a coalition I will find you guys.
-
i'm in a mmj town. the others in beta aren't in any atm.. XD
-
the coalitions in my town say they'll be doing meta towns next and not another mmj.
-
Yeah, so since they removed the cap, all the "In crowd" are going to go back to playing with themselves, and then there will be everyone else >:(
-

-
Sure, if you can scrounge up another 30+ people :P

-
apparently bia'ing guardians for the def is pointless.. you lose all that before the zombies hit
-
The Family coalition has invited us for a meta, together with another bunch
-
i don't mind.. but we are only 3? 4? and no hero.
-
we build All or nothing.. in the last minute before arrghhh.. and didn't empty every useful thing from the bank...
it's dead funny. (also shunned someone who took nuts to stop the building XD)
last minute (well.. 30 minutes) mind changing in irc XD
-
I guess Tom will be able to provide details for the jump. Our town looks like it's heading for 11+ though (now on day 8), so it will still take some time.
-
something new called hardcore town... nuts!
----
i'm dead...
we had 10 people in town and the other 26 out camping
5 in town and 2 outside died.
-
We going to wait, start a new town with Alpha, and perhaps others? It would be cool to try get a meta town together if possible.
-
The link posted to coordinate with the other coalitions for a meta:
http://chat.gigirc.com/?channels=#RAWR
-
does that mean any coalition will drop in there? or has a bunch of coalitions agreed already to play with us?
---
i still only see 1 guy in that channel... amongst the channels he's on, 1 of them looks like some group based on some hk forum that plays d2n XD
... oddly enough... one of the guys on that forum (tonylee) was in my last town?! (though he died on day 2 when he can't log on)
-
Okay, here's the deal: Our coalition has kind of seen it all in D2N (at least for the time being). However, we'd like to do one final town to wrap things up.
So my question is: is the other coalition interested for one last go? Let's go out with a bang?
@Hroppa, are you in as well? You're on inactive now.
-
2 of us are sort of in a mmj... except our town is rather unfortunate in starting with only 2 heroes. can't last for more than another 5 days i shouldn't think.
bael is busy and not playing atm.. starting new job.
---
spoke too soon.. we are both dead. 3 zombies a piece... so i'm game any time... except no one is a hero in our coalition...
that said.. maybe hardcore town? there's only 1 going at a time.
-
so... any news?
-
Not that I know of :/
-
so used to external maps that having to do it by hand in a hardcore town is.... meh.
-
meh.. whole town of shunned people.... XD
...every time i scavenge early on... i walk into a bunch of zombies... .stupid game
-
We're up to our last town. The game lost its appeal to me personally. Especially the fact you need a table for three important upgrades, making it a game of luck, really annoyed me.
-
