28Jun Ka’lol has managed to find an intact Semi, fueled it up and worked most all the damage out, and is now bringing it back home for customization into the Mobile Base “Wild Sausage”. Stopped off to recover more parts from a less-intact Semi, but had a Black-Screen crash.
Confident that it’ll help in that RP thread, if they survive until Autumn so Ka’lol can meet up with them.
Day 9, living in an LMOE shelter, north of a lava pit and a prison.
Been super lucky so far, archery lvl 5 with a long bow.
Halfway through cleaning out a prison, Kited so many brutes through the lave pit.
Can’t figure out how to open a bar door though…

Firstly, that name is BEAUTIFUL
Secondly, now I want another remote-hosted Cataclysm game for “multiplayer”
I’m now going to try SUPER DUPER SURVIVAL RUN meaning I actually try to survive for more than a day few hours.
I died!!!
I found a perfectly working car on the road (I was surprised at first then felt bummed after I remembered that I didn’t reset the map so the car was probably owned by a past me) so I drove north hoping to find some Bears and Wolves to run over and get their precious meat!!! what did I find? I found a cougar, Triffids and a Vinebeast, I stuffed the cougar in the back of my car (didn’t stuff the triffids, I was too scared of being chased by more of them) then kept going north till I found a military bunker, I though “why not ram it open?” and that’s exactly what I did… tried to do, the wheels got busted while ramming the second layer of walls so I though “maybe not” then checked the map and saw a science lab near by, so I thought I’d be able to enter it (I found a ton of IDs on dead scientists while on the road) but…
the science lab was past a swamp which I didn’t notice… yeah death by mosquitoes.
I find this game increasingly frustrating. On my SUPER DUPER SURVIVE WITHOUT HAX RUN it started raining acid within the first hour. Then I attracted hordes of ants and zombies. I died. There was much rejoicing.
Make a game,
Found 1 backpack in the shelter.
Found in the way of the town 2 rucksack and an army helmet;
I check pawn chop (easy to go in, only Z and one grabber), found broadsword,bakpack, sewing kit *2, and more 50 at ground.
I go in sport clothe building, got pot, frying pan, hotplate, water purifier, sneaker & skirt.(i started naked so it’s nice)
I put all, make it fit, butcher dead Z and find 2 tank top and one under armor. I make it fit too, make underwear;
I go to the mil. surplus and found inside 2 belt ring.
Then go drink something IRL 'cuze i tought the heath make me see thing in the game that isn’t here.
GO back in the game, i check a house to find some bottle and then i go to the shelter.
And then.
Flamming eye.
…
Staring at me.
So i start killing him, but …
[size=12pt]Staring at me [/size]:’(
I’v died 2 day later, because of spore sprout out of my mouth and my arms.
Didn’t noticed the portal in first place, it was just to the left side of the building, and i’v run out of the shelter in first place by the east.
FUuuuuuuuuUUuuuu
I had to leave the town after looting two houses - lots of brutes, schockers and normal zombies - too much for my char to handle with one crowbar . Decided to hit the highway to the north and suprise suprise … I have found hummer with four dead soldiers beside it. Lots of goodies - backpack, utility vest, army pants, helmet, lighters, flashlights, bottles of clean water, SCAR ( without ammo 
) and two packed M72 LAWs … so i used them to hunt some mooses 
I want to make me a nice bow ( Daryll style ;p ) so i need sinew … Gotta continue north - maybe there is something nice up there :]
Also First post - hello 
M27 LAWs allow, with the explosion, to open whatever you want quickly (lab, bunker). Next time keep it in your inventory or store it somewhere so you will be able without effort to open everything.
ps : just died after passing trought a window. Cut. almost dead before ; 100% dead after. I didn’t tought it hurt that much Oo
I completely forgot about this … and of course i found 2 science labs AFTER i have used those LAWs <rams_wall_with_his_head> … doesn’t matter anyway 
Hazmat bot killed me while i was looting hazardous waste sarcophagus 
I was incredibly lucky early on, I found an electric car in relatively good shape and then on my way out of town to the standalone gas station to my North I found dead mil personnel and got a few SCARs, a LAW, a mil ID badge, and a black box. Found ANOTHER group of dead mil guys, one had Basic Power Armor and a Hauling Frame.
So I think I’m set. I raid a town, get some ammo and supplies, an start to make that gas station into my base. I chop down some wood and need to find a blanket for a makeshift bed. I go to the hotel, but couldn’t find a blanket on the main floor. I go into the basement to continue my search, but it was very dark. So I set a chair on fire.
And do I really even need to end this sad, sad story…
Because this is actually a pretty decent story.
Well, there was this NPC companion who suddenly decided to try and punch me to death. My PC was a Tough, Thick Skinned character with 12 Str, wearing a leather jacket. So the whole thing was hilarious but annoying. So I stabbed him to death, and butchered the corpse, ate the flesh and went on my merry way. Another dead NPC and a dead Jabberwock later*, I realized that killing innocent people is a thing that takes a while to wear off. Since I couldn’t craft or read anything, I decide to go for a drive, since the world was new and mostly unexplored.
This joyride led me past a huge swamp**, the middle of a town, and right past a regional school. I swear to god I tried to swerve away from the little fuckers but they threw themselves onto the path of my truck, and there was a horde right behind me so I wasn’t eager to stop, either. At this point, I was pretty wasted, and wanted to go back to one of the comfy LMOE shelters I’d found, so I kept driving, fumbling at the controls rather majorly because I’d never driven a truck in my life and had already downed about 4 shots of Vodka. I couldn’t take the same road through the swamp, so instead I took one that was about 8 tiles away from a triffid grove. It was fairly far away, so I didn’t expect anything bad to happen.
Cue a pair of triffid queens spawning in the middle of the road, along with assorted triffid enemies. I kicked up the gas and didn’t stop until I reached the end of that road, my truck in fairly decent condition. In spite of having run over everything but the kitchen sink. And a Jabberwock. Then, suddenly everything was fairly uneventful until I ran out of gas and had to walk the remaining 5 or 6 tiles into the shelter in the middle of a Thunderstorm. A shelter with no food or clean water.
Another average day in the fucking post-apocalypse.
*“Hey, could you kill this epic monster in the woods, that by the way, is right here OH GOD WHAT THE-” followed by various crunching sounds. That was the fastest failed mission I’ve ever had.
**Thank god for windshields and windshieldwipers.
Found nice little abandoned farm ( surounded by forest ) in the vicinity of large town.
Finished boarding up windows and gathering and sorting stuff that i have with me.
Next stop : ability to make fire, purify the water and some ranged weapon for hunting.
So, a bunch of blobs decided to leave their home and migrate to my shelter. I leave them alone for the most part, there are too many to deal with. Then some of them decided it would be funny to teleport in and attack me. I then somehow managed to counter-attack them in my sleep.
Edit: Oh god! Blobs everywhere! They’ve now infested the entire town, and an entire family has decided to take residence in my shelter.
I left the door of my work-in progress war-mobile open and went into the back to sleep. I woke up, went into the front and ended up crashing it into a fence when I realized that I had to fight zombies that had gotten into the back of the war-mobile.
Finished baricading farm house/shelter, organized supplies into orderly stahes.
Went for a little scouting of the area and BAM acid rain… a its still raining 3 days later.
FML
p.s. anyone tried to play Cata with XP on-screen keyboard ? Almost like playing Eye of Beholder or Riva or some other classicrpg from the golden times ;]
My latest game was pretty epic so I took lots of screenshots. So I kind of broke the game by having power armour and alloy plating CBMs with a high dodge skill, I was basically invincible and only a few monsters with special attacks (like shockers) could even scratch me.
It all took a turn for the worse though, when my precious custom built tile by tile vehicle accidentally got a little bit blown up by someone carelessly tossing a mininuke around:
It was still drivable though, but repairing it would mean several days driving around looking for parts (especially to replace the kitchen unit). I then decided to check out the underground level of a slime pit, and was eventually completely surrounded by blobs. They kept self replicating as I smashed them with my shotgun stock, and I seriously contemplated suicide as I spent all goddamn night trying to free myself from the throng of blobs.
Once I got free I was so fed up that I decided to dip into the massive drug stash I had been saving for a rainy day. 28 syringes of heroin and a bunch of cocaine and meth later, here I am about to hit a pharmacy at 460mph.
My magnificent car managed to survive the collision and even went on to lay waste to a few more buildings, after which I decided that enough was enough and I used my flamethrower CBM to set fire to a gas pump.
I miraculously survived the explosion and decided to kite as many zombies as I could for a nice surprise I had lined up for them.
And that was the end of me.
Pretty insane kill count though.
Ye gods, that was quite the eventful day. Drugs, driving, and explosions, all in one day!
I am currently cackling madly as my three turrets utterly destroy a FEMA camp. Do turrets usually create random explosions? Mine are. Unless it’s a FEMA thing.
So i went to the town in the south to raid, after i had failed to get… well… anything usefull really… I decided to head back north to the shelter. That’s when i realized that just a little to the north of the evac shelter that was my home was a giant anthill and the ants had decided to drop by and say “hi”…
Yeah that game didn’t go so well for me >.>
Cataclysm logic:
Gets two friends near evac shelter by telling them that they can protect me
Kindly steps aside as said “friends” kill everything for me
Me: "Oh look a TEC-9 from one of the enemies that YOU killed. I’ll trade it to you."
NPC: "OMG a TEC-9 with no ammo? I’ve always wanted one of these! I totally owe you $3500 worth of stuff."
Me: "Teach me everything you know within the next 30 minutes and we’ll call it square."
NPC: “Okay.”
And that was how Jeremiah Thompson became really skilled, really fast.
My most embarrassing non-fatal mishap yet:
Had myself nicely set up in an Evac Shelter - bed, wood stove, lots of salvaged items in piles all around.
Went to light stove in order to cook dinner, mis-typed my move so that I wasn’t where I thought I was, and ended up applying my cheap lighter to the evac shelter wall instead of the stove next to it.
Had no extinguisher and couldn’t find any way to douse the fire with water, so I ended up grabbing a few essentials and hastily moving the car up the road before watching the whole thing burn to the ground.
