Firstly, I consider this to be stone age because I don’t have fancy stuff other people have. I’m talking about an awesome car, awesome gear, awesome character, mutations, and a ton of bionics… I’ll colorize the post to make it feel authentic.
This is my run on the ipad with a janitor named Oswaldo Barkley playing with slow, mundane, and classic zombies on, which is basically easy mode. In my starting town, I found a like new electric car in a garage and then I ended up on a farm because it has infinite water. (although there is a river nearby) I want to show off my run to you guys. Although it isn’t much, I am proud to have survived this long on flatbread made out of flour made out of acorns or wild buckwheat, moose meat, wild vegetables, and the infinite farm water pump.
At some point I cut down a bunch of trees and made a wooden bicycle (Oswaldo Barkley’s wooden bicycle) that can fit 3 people but at full capacity it’s too heavy to move. I’ll have to make a diagram, dunno how to post screenshots from the ipad. I also have that electric car I mentioned. Think of an electric car, but with wooden spikes on the front. I’m not doing that diagram, it would be too confusing:
[glow=brown,2,300]o[/glow] wooden frame wire bike basket (vol: 8/60) 20" wooden cart wheel #dang it, ran over a shrub earlier
[glow=brown,2,300]o[/glow] wooden frame controls wood box (vol: 100/150) foot pedals

Sadly, I think this run has hit a brick wall because it seems like I got -100 health and I can’t regen hp by sleeping anymore. I have ||||\ hp on everything except right leg. (||||.) I was Very hungry, Thirsty, and Tired when I looked at my character. I’ll list equipment and character sheet. Comments are followed by a # just like in code:
