Lulz at the thing before you type now. But anyway, glad to see another decent looking zombie thing pop up. Going to apply and see how it goes.

I had a question though, I'll end up submitting what I have when I'm done anyway but will we be starting off separately or together? That highly determines what I've been doing the past 6 days of infection.
Role-play forever.

Sounds good man. Look forward to your character.

I should adress that now, I suppose. You'll most likely be split up, depending on the amount of players I manage to get.

Hey guys,

So today's quite busy for me, and I regret to say that I won't be accepting characters until tomorrow in all likelihood. This is because I don't have time to read every character, and I feel that you guys deserve that for jumping on board this crazy idea of mine.

So, to reiterate, characters being read and approved tomorrow.

Thanks,

Naft.

Attention, the few and the faithful!

I am so proud that you all hopped on this idea so quickly. Even though I had to close it to the public some time ago, it still seems like people are scrabbling over each other. Since this was largely a trial for a bigger roleplay idea I have, I'm pleased to have so much support.

So now, I announce.

We are beginning on Monday, December 5th, 2011. I'll post up the first plot-relevant post, and you all can follow me down. In the introduction, I've listed two "groups" that are formed. These are not permanent, and you need not follow them. They're merely to say which survivors are in each area, and I've split them up as evenly as I can.

The posting 'guide' is simple - at the top of your post, make a quick bolded line about which character the post follows and the current location. This is to avoid confusion for us, the readers who are following this adventure.

Another good question was asked by Mid - "If we get bitten, will be able to play our characters as a zombie until they're dead-dead?" The answer is a resounding hell yes. Unless your character dies of natural causes (being shot, stabbed, dying of flu etc) you can most certainly play the undead version until you cannot go anymore.

Now let's go ruin some character's lives.

Aight, I'm about to begin typing my post. I was busy for most of the evening that I was awake yesterday. I should have it up within an hour or two. Maybe less if I get inspired. Seems per usual, this post is about getting into the world more then finding anyone or doing anything. :)


EDIT:

Alright I posted even though I had to wait for the 502 bad gateway to go away. I ended up cutting out chunks of my post so it might not all make sense but for the most part after proof-reading it afterward it sounded okay. I decided I would downsize after I put it in and it came out to 2k+ words. Didn't feel like making you read that much. Most of it was fluff and more detail about what I was going to do after I left at the end of this post. But I also figured I'd just wait to see what happened and leave myself outside.

Hey, gang! It really warms my heart to log in and see that five of you have already taken the first step in joining up in this journey with me.


But because of the size of our group (Pushing twenty!) and the sheer amount of posts we'll have to do to get through a day (unless someone dies... :D) then we'll have to figure out some sort of post order to keep this moving along. This is strictly a post-when-you-have time roleplay (mostly because I don't have much time, myself) so as soon as we start breaking off into groups, I'm going to figure out some kind of posting order that we can all agree on.

I'm going to read all the posts now, and I plan on posting as Devon sometime this week.

Thanks again!

Hey, gang. I'm going to ask that we all hold off on posting until Tiko and Saken post, and then we'll start a new round.

We'll continue in the order that we've started with.

THE ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
NotAFlyingToy (Mark)
Sirpokealot (Alexander Greenhom)
SkullsandSlippers (Natalie Whittle)
Lattia (Kristie Batiste)
Aireana (Leeana Acadi)
Quantumlegacy (Fredrick Venkel)
smrtazz13 (David Ramirez)
CriminalMinds (Candy Murphy)
Smokescreen (Kelsey Knoxberry)
XavierDantius32 (Geoff Matherson)
Script (Robin)
CrowboyToTheRescue (Dr. Alex McDonald)
Nevan (Kyle Jaeger)
Tiko (Rachel Santos)
Saken (Ana Margery Seeder)
Saviarre (Maura DeMaria)


This is to keep it moving and prevent the plot moving too far for people to catch up. If you've already posted, that's fine - just keep this order in mind from here on out!

Thanks,

-Naft.

New Round! I'll be posting today at some point. And then we begin again!

Sorry for the slow pace initially, gang, but a few of the players (who have contacted me directly) including myself have full plates at the moment. I promise we'll be going as fast as possible!

I feel so bad that my post took so long. Gotta love things that get in your way, right? Anyway, I'm already working on my next post so hopefully I avoid that problem again. Thanks for your patience, guys!

I'm good with people taking their time, I understand life gets in the way. But it still drives me crazy. I'm used to instant gratification. More of a heavy skype, in-person, set times for us to do it kind of person.
