Urban Dead

Anyone play this, or feel like playing this, by any chance?

http://www.urbandead.com/

Been giving it a go, simple and a bit crappy but could possibly be a good laugh.

If anyone does give it a pop, I'm a cop called Richard Fell, currently holed up in a police station in Dulston, and also a zombie called Pete the Prink, who is smashing stuff up in Wray Heights

I'm Mike Jefferson, currently shacked up in the Derrington Building in Shearbank.

I'm a copper!

I think I'm probably dead by now...I ran out of action points in a room with zombies in.

Yeah, my cop got zombiefied as well. Hopefully some scientist nutter will make him human again.

So I started a 3rd character who's a scout - the Free Running skill is well handy - and he's doing good. Anyone who's playing and needs to get healed, give us a shout and I'll see if I can get him to you; packing first-aid kits to the max. He's called MkVenner.

I'm a zombie called Emvee and a Necrotech employee called Jezebel Mimsy...I get a DNA extractor, but I'm not sure what for...

Stick a zombie with it and it gives you their player details, as well as 4 XP. You can only stick it in the same zombie once each day.
Easiest early way for the scientist class to rack up XP.

If you find a Necrotech building, search it and you should get a Syringe. Stick that in a zombie and it makes them human and you get 5 XP.

That's what I'm needing someone to do to my cop, so if you find one, give us a bell...

Annoyingly, someone turned my zombie back into a human. Luckily, someone else killed him. Yay, dead again!

I've tried beating a zombie, I keep effing missing - peeing me off!

Found an oil can though... YES!

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 1:22 pm

Anyone still playing?

I have three characters - Emvee, a cop who keeps getting killed and revivifed in Stanbury Village; Jezebel Mimsy, a scientist who's just been killed over in Shackleville and Jimmy Carr, a medic who's doing very well for himself in Wykewood. Would be good to meet up with other surivors, particularly anyone with a bunch of revivification syringes who can turn Jezzie back into a human...

My Zombie finally went up a level and just when I was starting to kick [composite word including 'f*ck'] out of people got reviveified - since I dropped all my human equipment I now would quite like to get killed again so will log on and go stand in the street a bit.

KingMob · Post by **KingMob** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 8:22 am

Would be neat to hook up. Make things easier. I got an axe-wielding scout guy in New Arkham and a cop in Whittenside. I can head my cop to meet your medic, and my scout can head towards your other guys. Will prob take a wee while, tho.

I think Ridleybank is the scene of some big groups of players having a war, so I wouldn't send your human char straight north, emvee.

snarl, if you can get into a tall building you can jump your guy out the window and kill im that way rather than wait for someone to happen along and top him.

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 8:32 am

Well, I got revivified, but we should try and establish a Transfans base of operations anyway for reference - somewhere our survivors can hole up, or at least one of each of our survivors since it's considered a bad idea to have two characters belonging to the same player in the same square (if you revivify your own player, it logs your IP and bans the characters apparently).

Mob, I can send my scientist to meet your cop and my medic is closer to your scout, that way we have two "safe" groups...just lemme build some APs and stand up

KingMob · Post by **KingMob** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 9:02 am

Moved my scout into Foulkes Village. Looks a bit more dangerous than New Arkham, but that also means more XP - just levelled him up again.
Cop has been loaded up with ammo (he shot all his guns dry last turn) and can head out next time he has some decent AP.

Want to pick suburbs for us to try and meet up in?

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 11:12 am

OK my Wykewood guy is nearly at full AP (and has more ammo than the US military) so I'll send him down into Foulkes Village. My scientist is trying to heal up after being revivified in Wray Heights so maybe Scarletwood would be a good area once I'm healed and you got your AP...

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 12:09 pm

I'm a medic. I tried punching a zombie like 25 times, and missed 24 times

My action points are up. But I'll try and meet up with someone. Allthough I dont know where I am

KingMob · Post by **KingMob** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 12:18 pm

There's a map here
http://www.jonathanfletcher.f2s.com/urb ... apping.php

you can get a firefox plug-in thing that turns the suburb name on your game screen into a link to a map of the area you're in, but I forgot where I got it.
Probably somewhere from the FAQ or wiki.

Mind to get in cover before you run out of AP. You'll probably wake up a zombie if you don't.

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 12:47 pm

I think I fell asleep inside a store or something. Will I be safe?

angloconvoy · Post by **angloconvoy** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 1:30 pm

I just started now. I'm Frank Remmington, copper.

Edit: Strike that, Frank Remmington, dead guy.

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 3:15 pm

Ack - I just logged in to move my guy over to FH and someone said "Two Zs outside, be in here soon". Sure enough there were two zombies in my safehouse, so I had to use my AP to kill them (well, I got one and dropped the other to 20HP) and close the doors. Will make my way over there if I'm not dead when I wake up.

KingMob · Post by **KingMob** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:12 am

EmVee, I have a good safehouse in Foulkes Village, esp if your guy headed that way has free running.
Cop is heading for Scarletwood.

How'd it go, Ob? Your guy turned into a brain-eater?

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 9:44 am

On my way, just had to rest for a tick in Lavington Cres. PD (very bottom left corner of Wykewood).

Yes, I am now Bobby Tampon - the Zombie

Search for items in the buildings, kill zombies, progress in APs, buy skills, avoid getting killed. In theory, at least.

Mob, I'm now in the Fone Arms, NE Foulkes Village.

is there a map?

angloconvoy · Post by **angloconvoy** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 5:40 pm

I've had two characters killed. I keep getting hunted down by high level zombies. Ah well, I guess I'll just have to shamble about eating brains til someone makes me all human again...

Hang around an NT building - they're the ones with their names marked in red on the map. Or come down to the Silwood Building in Wray Heights and I'll do it for you

angloconvoy · Post by **angloconvoy** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 7:28 pm

Hmm, I'm days away from Wray heights, and all of the buildings appear to have their names marked in red.

I stood in a zone with a zombie and pressed attack about 20 times missed 20 times. so...

On the map linked above, click on the name of the suburb you're in - some buildings have their names marked in red and those are NT buildings. People usually revive you around these, unless they're unscrupulous zombie hunters who are trying to get some headshots in. Sometimes the people trying to revive you get ripped apart by zombies too. It's a crazy world out there.

Update - Jimmy Carr just killed 2 Zs in 14AP

Hanging in the Laurence Building FV, few people here but only a light barricade

angloconvoy · Post by **angloconvoy** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 10:07 pm

It is indeed. My third character, Don Miller, fireman, is still alive, well he was before. I might just make my way to you guys with him. A transfans clan would rock.
