Survival Quest #1

[Damus_Graves]

It's a pistol with 4 bullets. Not much good against a mass of zombies. We don't even know if zombies are still here. I don't think this is going to turn into an action game all of a sudden. It's a puzzle game. You can't brute force it by saying "Let's just smash every zombie's head in that comes our way." Our goal is going to be to find a way to avoid the zombies and use the facility to destroy them and the remainder of the Hydra liquid. Not fight them in hand-to-hand combat.

Using the H-analyzer to check for zombies is pointless. It has a range of 5 meters, or about 15 feet. My bedroom is about that long. Unless we're in complete and absolute darkness, we'll see the zombies coming before the H-analyzer does.

I was trying to bait creed or CmG to call me out on that and provide another train of thought. Not a post saying Bad Idea Damus

You want another train of thought?

Espozito said that this part was over.

So, I vote we wait until he gets back on again to post the next part, and see what happens and go from there.

We know what happened here.

We have a clue as to where the rest of the problem resides.

Hopefully in the next part or two, we'll find out how to solve the problem.

Next few parts will be the actual solving of the problem.

Next few parts after that will be struggling to get out alive.

For now all we can do is wait for the Host again.

A useful post wrapped in an aggressive sense of frustration

A useful post wrapped in an aggressive sense of frustration

I am not exactly happy at the fact that our host can apparently only be on for about 10 minutes of every 24 hour day, resulting in long wait times of doing nothing but post farming :P

In other news, this thread alone constitutes about 1/8th of my entire post count.

I don';t think he actually has 3 bullets, thus why he was is striving so hard for the bullet.

Part 3 ending

Spoiler : RP :

The H-Analyser started beeping when the tube was picked up from the safe. "Holy shit! What the hell is in there?" - Waldo was quite surprised. The device made so many noise, so Glip took the tube away from it. The room became silent again... but someone started scratching the door... from outside. "What?" - Lt Geeves stared at the blocked piece of wood, pointing his assault riffle on it. - "Are there any survivors or what?" "I... don't think so..." - TimeTrx said, mentioning the map. - "Look, what's there." The map said "THEM" in the north hall and was crossed with same red marker. "We have to move out of here as fast as we can." - Auckmid was worried. - "Don't even try to open that door!" The survivors moved to the hole where they entered the room from, but suddenly H-analyser beeped again. "Wait" - Gzz stopped, but it was too late. Some strange human-like thing appeared from the hole screaming and it grabbed Auckmid and bit his neck. Another thing appeared and took survivor out of the room, letting both of them feed the human. "No!" - MintBerry shouted, and instead of scratching, more of those things started knocking the door hardly. One of the desks blocking the door started crashing. Lt Geeves took his gun and shot both of zombies, but more of them appeared and started getting in. Now all the militaries used their firearms to deal with that horde. "Hurry, guys! We need to do something!" - Roflcopter shouted. "Damus, break the wall!" - Ash pointed at the south one. - "It's already almost broken." "You kiddin'?" - Damus questioned. - "What if there are more of them out there?" "No, there aren't" - Gzz put the analyser close to the wall and it didn't make a sound. - "It's safe there, quick, brake it." Damus made almost a dozen of attemps and, after all, the wall has been broken. Really on time: Zombies broke the door and got in the room. Lt Geeves commanded everyone to leave the study and move far away from it. He and Mike stayed in the room, trying to hold the horde, while the survivors ran through the hall. Strange thing was that the hall was empty, without any flesh-eaters, but it made it possible to run from those things away. After a few seconds shooting in that study ended and zombies reached the same hall. Luckily, the Survivors found some kind of cafeteria that had a few zombies inside. They blocked the door for the horde be unable to brake in, and started to think how to get rid of those ones who were inside with them...

[Espozito]

He lives in Smolensk , isn' t that hard to find , but i have some problem of logistich ( the Holidays of the Dead are come to end today , so i can' t go to search he )

Edited

[Espozito]

• How do your zombies work
• Can a player still play the game if he/she becomes a Zombie
• Are there special mechanics for Zombie players

Zombies can see only if they have eyes (yeah, their eyes may have been eaten)
In addition, they react to sounds mostly, they can't smell anything.
There could be some sort of Zombie-Player mechanics, but I will inform you of it when the time comes.

[creedkingsx]

I wonder who glip finds to be a threat. :o
He hoolds more power than rofl right now.

[Fatalis]

Yay espo is here
I'm going to kill myself if espo leaves for another 24 hour without making part 4

[Gzz]

Alleluja , well , now i hope that they won' t green chickenize me

[Ash]

hi
wut next puzzle?

next puzzle = kill next zombies?

I have a few solutions...

Spoiler : Scenario A :

A wild Zombie appears!
Go, Roflcopter!
Roflcopter, use shoot Zombie!
It's super effective!
Zombie has fainted.
Roflcopter gained 1 xp point

oh wait i forgot roflcopter doesnt have bullets

Spoiler : Scenario B :

A wild Zombie appeared!
Go, Damus!
Damus use Hammer Time!
It's super effective!
Zombie has fainted.
Damus gained 2 xp.

Spoiler : Scenario C :

A wild Zombie appeared!
Go, Pokeball!
Zombie has been captured, would you like to rename Zombie?

[Gzz]

But if they attack me , they will rape me with the sand

[Roflcopter]

But if they attack me , they will rape me with the sand

Wut?

Also glip you have the green chicken!?!?

And I really am going to need that bullet with the coming zombie attack...

[Gzz]

I'm unarmed , so i can' t fight back well

[CmG]

Somebody give the poor sob with the gun a bullet. I hope i get the Lawnmower for the Zombie massacre!

[Ash]

when is next puzzle?
EZPO WHERE R U MAN WTF WHERE IS NEXT PUZZLE...

i think ezpo is a zombie...

[Glip]

I wonder who glip finds to be a threat. :o
He hoolds more power than rofl right now.

No one is a threat. It's a goddamn cooperative survival game.

-give Roflcopter the unused bullet

Please try to hold off from using the gun except as a last resort. You only have 4 shots, and there may be a more dire situation later in which we need it.

Right now I am seriously considering using the Green Chicken on myself as I trust myself to retain the most lives in the following parts and keep the most people in the group alive as possible.

However, I want Espo to answer my questions that I had about the Green Chicken first.

[Fatalis]

ESPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

• Gun (1 shot) - Roflcopter
• Hammer - Damus_Graves
• H-analyser (online) - creedkingsx
• Test-tube with virus - Glip
• Walking stick - Mugy7

Spoiler : RP part :

"O'kay", - Damus looked at three zombies and picked his hammer. - "I don't know about you, but I am ready to bash those damn things!" "I hear you," - Roflcopter took the bullet and put it into the gun. "Wait, don't make too much noise!" - creedkingsx warned him. "Relax, I'll use the butt only." "Alright, I think I'm with ya two," - Mugy7 stepped in and shown a wooden walking stick. "What's that?" - CmG questioned. "Well, I found it in the study and thought it might be useful."
"So...", - Roflcopter, Damus_Graves and Mugy7 walked closer to the zombies at the opposite side of the cafeteria and got ready. - "What do we do now? How do we kill'em?" "My plan is bashing out their brains... if they have ones" - Damus claimed. Other survivors stayed behind and decided to warn the fighters about other zombies, as it was not quite a bright cafateria...

Spoiler : Ze Puzzle :

So, we have a chess-board 3x8:

| Z | Z | Z |
| _ | _ | _ |
| _ | _ | _ |
| _ | _ | _ |
| _ | _ | _ |
| _ | _ | _ |
| _ | _ | _ |
| S | S | S |

Z is a Zombie, S means Survivor

The survivors are Damus_Graves, Roflcopter and Mugy7.
Here is the order of them on the board (made by dice): Roflcopter, Damus_Graves, Mugy7.

All the players must solve the puzzle too, but action-players are these 3 for now.

So, all the figures on the board are Pawns, I hope you know how they work.
So, the goal is to get rid of all the zombie pawns or block'em. You have 1 guess only.

How to make a list of moves:

Every pawn may move 1 step forward or attack when in position, so first goes the number of column (1, 2 or 3) then the type of action (S - step forward, A - attack)

Example:
3-S
1-S
3-S
...
2-A
...

Order of zombie moves:

Zombies move their pawns in order from right to left:

3-S
2-S
1-S
3-S
...

When there is a chance of attack, they ALWAYS attack (when in position for attack)


Puzzle result:
1. If your game results in total win (all 3 zombies are dead), you win despite of how much pawns you have lost.
2. If your game ends with a tie (pawns are in front of each other and can neither attack nor move), you solve the puzzle but lose 1 live.
3. If during the game some of the zombies walk through your pawns and nothing can stop them from reaching your side, you lose 3 lives.
4. Same result for all your 3 pawns die.

Special result:
In your game there can be one-two of the pawns lost. The survivor whos pawn was lost most of the times... well... something bad is gonna happen to him, so be careful, life of one of these survivors is in your hands now.

Rules

• You may ask questions about the puzzle
• You may NOT discuss the puzzle solving
• You may discuss anything else about the quest
• You may pre-say "Goodbye" to other survivors (just in case...)

[Gzz]

What is hte order of moves ? Is like "Survivor-Zombie-Survivor ?

[Espozito]

What is hte order of moves ? Is like "Survivor-Zombie-Survivor ?

It's a chess-game with these pawns only on board 3x8. Survivors move first (1 pawn of survivor - 1 pawn of zombie - 1 survivor - 1 zombie, etc.)
Don't tell me you don't know chess rules =D

[Gzz]

Yes , yes , i know them , only that wasn' t totally clear

[Damus_Graves]

Done

[Gzz]

Done , i sent it without his request , i hope can still count

[Roflcopter]

Well shit my life is in your hands? If someone finds a perfect solution they should post so none of us get mauled by zombies.

[Damus_Graves]

We cannot. Host Rules mate.

I made a perfect one though

[CmG]

If a zombie gets blocked and can't move anymore does his turn get skipped?


Who has the first move? Zombies or Survivors?

[Ash]

Its survivors bro. He just said it.

You said they work like pawns, yet the rules says you can only move once at a time. Can they move 2 spaces at the beginning?

When you attack the zombies, do you attack diagonally or only straight forward? Or both?

[Damus_Graves]

He said they work like regular pawns with the exception that they move only one space at a time

[Ash]

WTF that's UNDERPOWERED

CAN WE TRANSFORM OUR PAWNS WHEN THEY REACH THE END OF THE BOARD?

Shut up, pawn. I'm asking this legit question. Unless you want to be a pawn for ever.

[Damus_Graves]

Shut up, pawn. I'm asking this legit question. Unless you want to be a pawn for ever.

I came up with a kill all zombie solution. I am happy with staying a pawn
