Ember · 2013-06-26T05:17:28.000Z

found a .44 gun and a .45 sub machine gun in the same house, they both had 50 bullets each on the same tile that they occupied

unfortunately the shotgun that was also there didnt have any shots

Walking along, pillaging doctors offices and then

blobs

blobs everywhere

Burned through 250 9mm bullets killing however many so far (I literally had no handgun xp, though my firearms is sky high)

Edit:

I woke up to 2-5x these guys the next day, managed to make it to my car. I STOP FOR NOTHING

I have decided to go Jabberwock hunting it kind of annoys me that i am the kind of player the Jabberwock is supposed to counter (survivalist) and i spend a huge amount of time in the forests but i never encounter anything more dangerous than a bear or a jumping spider for the most part.

I am on day 4 now (ingame) of my hunt and, while i have found a lot of other cool stuff, i have yet to encounter the elusive beast.

I just accepted a mission from a random NPC and asked for him to give me stuff. He gave me something surprising!

I had set up a nasty trap involving a gas station and a massive horde I was kiting away from town. I realized that I had no way to light it, and I was leading the horde straight toward an evac shelter with two survivors. I did the noble thing and ran backwards, dove into the crowd of zombies, and lit the gas myself from the middle of the horde.

Game over

Worth it.

You know what you must to do avoid being next.

Kill them all.

What do you mean? I invited him in my house , he seems so friendly he is even willing to teach me martial arts and cooking! But he has nowhere to stay over night , so i found him an empty room to stay for one night.

Was driving along in my car and found the next town over from the starting town. Drove in, ran over a preschool’s worth of child zombies (those bad feels, man) and a ton of other, adult zombies. Stopped by a doctor’s office, sporting goods store, and grocery store to load up on supplies and stuck them in my car’s trunk. Was just leaving when a few more zombies emerged from behind some buildings and started to shamble toward me.

“No problem.” I thought to myself as I hopped into the driver’s seat, “I’ll just run them over.”

Start driving, careful to avoid the wrecks blocking the road. A boomer comes up alongside my car and explodes. I’m blinded, but I can hear the zombies moving closer. Foolishly, I decide to gun it, just to avoid injury. I run over another child zombie, then sideswipe a chainlink fence to a basketball court. The impact was apparently enough to destroy my gas tank.

Now my car, which I’ve used for shelter, storage, and transportation, is stuck, and there are no garages or hardware stores in this town. I neglected to pick up any tools in the beginning (still a new player, so I’m making stupid mistakes). My only choice now is to either find a new vehicle, or walk all the way back to the other town and pray that I find some tools.

I’m not looking forward to the latter option.

I found a CBM: Probability travel. Now i’m a postapocalyptic android mutant ninja that can travel through walls and shoot chain electricity.

Accursed91 · 2013-06-27T17:19:21.000Z

Restarted the world, things had become way too easy for my last character. Everything is now set to dynamic so hopefully i will soon be able to tell an hilarious/awesome/weird tale about how i died

Wanderer · 2013-06-27T18:47:16.000Z

I woke up a hidden family of insect monsters in a town. They took it all. I’m glad that i was with my car, that i managed to escape of them all…

…and i’m never going back there. [glow=red,2,300]EVER[/glow].

Although you need a welder to repair a vehicle, you only need a hacksaw, wrench, and jack to swap out tires. I had no garage in my town but managed to find a car with only the tires damaged.

So, I was preparing for another day of zombie monster trucks, when I sped to ludicrously high speeds(bout 70 mph for some reason, I pressed the forward button once). I ran straight into a forest. After repairing my headlights for the 10th time and replacing the windshields and a door, I proceeded along. I then began the slow, methodical process of running everything over without hitting the cars. Then I remembered that I reinforced the entire front of my truck with spiked platings. Cue me playing car pool against the zombies. Car wrecks are the best projectiles.

AspirinExtra · 2013-06-28T01:51:20.000Z

Was wandering around, decided to loot some random house and found this:

Other rooms included a spider, a coyote and more rabbits

pingpong · 2013-06-28T01:52:20.000Z

Well I was exploring a lab (internal furnace so I was eating furniture as I went), and I guess I got hit with something, though not radiation, which weakened my strength so I dropped some of my tools.

Went back up as I was very hungry with 1 water left, and just like real life, my character likes to be awake at night, sleeping through the day.

Well I was getting stuff together, only to realize I didn’t have a meat cooking tool. I was going to town to break some windows (closest place), and I ran into a zombie, and unbeknownst to me, a young triffid. I beat the zombie, go to butcher the corpse as usual, and the triffid starts wailing on me. I didn’t realize until I was at like 109 pain, and therefore couldn’t use my bow. I teleported a bunch of times to try and get away, only to give more blood donations.

I then realized I had copious amounts of drugs, so I pounded meth and painkillers, dropped some weight like my gun, and managed to make it to my car.

I drive off, figuring I’ll spend some time in a cabin. I start digging through some druggie stash, only to find myself being harassed by a triffid! I threw rocks or arrowed it to death, then discovered my arms were broken. Both of them. Also, I cough up fungaloid spores every so often, roots grow from my hands, and I think I was radiation poisoned or something, as I think I started emitting light. It was either me, or the eyes of fire or whatever that I saw before they started staring me down after I explored the cabin and went out at night. By this time the depressants and meth withdrawal was out of my system, but I had caught a cold. (halfway through autumn)

Currently I’m using the cabin, with very fortunate wood stove and a pan (I had nothing to cook/clean water with).

Only good things from this are 1) I learned how good drugs are for running 2) I got a fingertip fire CBM, and 3) I know now to never, ever, ever engage a triffid in melee until I have like a Katana, cutting, and 10 dodge.

Unfortunately the only hospital I know of is surrounded by triffid queens. I do have a road map so I’ll probably go off and look for things, after my cold is gone, maybe even in spring, after I just do nothing all winter (I probably have to get the funnel from my car though which is on the edge of the woods).

I do have to make some more arrows, without metal. Fun fun.

Iron_Foot · 2013-06-28T02:13:06.000Z

You need me in your Cataclysm.

I have the opposite of a Triffid problem.

I eat them. Regularly.

pingpong · 2013-06-28T02:14:19.000Z

I actually thought eating them was causing me to emit light, as I chopped them up and it’s like hm, nutritional things that don’t seem to cause food poisoning.

Iron_Foot · 2013-06-28T02:16:45.000Z

Nah. They’re healthy and will stay edible for over twice as long as meat.

It was the eye. Those eyes can give you some weird effects, I had one give me hallucinations for a few hours.

timtek · 2013-06-28T02:59:38.000Z

MrDoomed is doing great so it was time to make some renovations to the old evac shelter. He was kinda short on nails so he decided to molotov the local Apartment Building. The bonfire was exquisite and the nail shortage is over.

Rivet · 2013-06-28T04:41:03.000Z

Currently experiencing the sheer awesomeness that is Krav Maga. I never was able to find a NPC to train me in previous versions, so being able to start the game knowing the IDF death touch is too cool.

I’m tearing zombies limb from limb with my bare hands and it’s just about made me swear off other forms of melee entirely.
