Zombie Apocalypse - Halloween Special

[masterjskye]

Greetings, Mortals! This year we wanted to do something special for Halloween and also to say thanks to our top donors of this years fundraising efforts. So, this is it - an invitation-only event that is sure to leave you having nightmares for weeks.

How will it work?

- If you're in the top 12 of the donor scoreboard you will be sent an invitation to join. If someone doesn't want their place it will be offered to the next person on the list until we have 12 players.
- If there is interest we may run more games!

- The game itself will be 24 player, Mercenary, Escalate on Massive. Only 12 of the players will be human...
- 12 Zombies also inhabit the game. They are displaying most peculair habits though - must be the time of year!
- Each human player will be given the power to control one of the zombies throughout the entire game.
- However, the zombies are not pets - they can not be domesticated, and the magics used to keep them under control are unpredictable at best.
- They will take their own turns if you as a zombie master are not quick enough to take control!

Some other things we believe to be true about the zombies:

• They are unable to attack their zombie master.
• They relentlessly attack as long as they outnumber their opponent.
• They only fortify to promote an attack - they don't think defensively.
• They turn in cards as soon as possible.
• They prefer living victims but have been known to turn on other zombies when there are no other options.
• If you get killed by a zombie, you get your points back. If you get killed by a human, you don't.

Sounds like fun. Must have been an interesting coding project.

 

[masterjskye]

No coding involved, just good old fashioned ingenuity

I should clarify actually because it is worded a bit weird - the zombies will not work autonomously.. we have a team of dedicated lich kings working round the clock to ensure no zombie is allowed to idle too long.. (in theory)

And for a player to "take control" of a zombie really means you will be the given login information to that account for the sole purposes of this game. You have to log in and use your zombie turns pretty quickly or else they will turn feral!

I love it but this time I guess that I wont be able to join until a few weeks ago I could have the time for it 24/7 online, I would had beat y'all in the apocalipse

Which reminds me THIS TREAD

 

[Malpot]

That was a good thread....

Awesome.

So why not raise the ranks of the Zombies or match ours, cause if they win we're sol on the points. We're all much higher ranks...even a shiny General!

Beacuse I already did raise them from kitchen patrol, and how many free points are you wanting!? You get your points back if killed by a zombie, remember - and it's mercenary so you're not gonna lose a lot of points, unless a low-ranking human decides to go and win.. Also, if I raise them any higher they will take places on the scoreboard away from legitimate players.

For anyone watching - here is the game!

 

[sundicekid]

ha! I just came back to remove the question, remembered the points back part, all good!

I would offer the zombies the CNBC moderators, but I think that would be cruel and unusual to the zombies...
