No, we didn't, but that sounds good. Because in the games there are only a handful of survivors.

Technicallities...just forget em and worry about making your posts descriptive...I mean this is like MY book, I'm reading your guys posts but they dont really apply to me, I'm in this for myself, and you guys should be too. Show us what ya got!! Then we can vote for the best writer and they get a cookie!!! (baked by CopyCatt!)  What?! When the hell did we agree to this? Stop being selfish and think about the rest of the group. And since all we do here is write stuff to each other, wouldn't you think we'd at least try to improve each other's writting skills and junk? And we did talk about how things would come to be just a few people in the city, didn't we? I think I've got it, how bout this - First that explosion in the docks takes out a bunch of people over there, and that triggers the city to start evacuating a bit (mainly the area around the docks). And how bout this - Those terrorists or whatever also bomb an electrical plant (you remember that idea that popped up awhile ago) perhaps to make their getaway easier for them in that they can get out while the city is busy with the chaos of having their power shot down and that forces even more people to try to leave but it also gets a lot of people killed (maybe through riots, maybe through the Umbrella riot cops shooting people. You know, cus they're like corrupt or somethin). And then the gov't or the Umbrella corp. could isolate and lockdown the city leaving people stuck (maybe blowing up bridges themselves? You know, to further lockdown the city) and then everyone stuck that's infected start acting sick and then die and then get up as zombies. And some of those people stuck could also be some of the terrorists left behind. And with the power shut down, maybe some biological monsters break out of that lab in the city? And that kills even more people. Then boom, you got your situation where there's only a few people literally alive (who didn't get infected; mainly us), trying to struggle in a highly hazardous environment, without power, and no way to get out! And to further not being able to get out, how bout the Umbrella corp. or whoever is trying to control the situation is actually shooting down planes and boats trying to get out cus they're like trying to contain the virus, right? What you think? ;D And with all the issues about it being morning, i dont see what the problem is. Everything looks fine to me. I can imagine construction going on, people working in car shops, anti terrorist missions, and a kid picking up groceries early in the morning. So what's the problem with that? Oh yea, i also forgot to mention that my character has a backpack. Partly because it makes sense, partly so that he can carry stuff, and partly so that he has a place to put his bat, lol ;D And come on, lets get some feedback on these ideas before we implement them or something else |

first off no a garage would never ever be open that early no matter what, secondly the power plant idea could be good, third i like the idea of my post took place the night before and i was working to get the car finished so i was in the garage still when it happened the next day.

Having construction that early in the morning makes sence. My dad does similar stuff, and he has to get up early.
BugHunter, I like it. Makes sence cause haveing the terrorists bomb the powerplant can cause mass confusion as people are tring to be evacuated. That way, lots of people can become zombies if they die in the confusion or just cant get out of the city in time. As for shooting down planes or boats, that sounds more like the military than an environmental terrorism group. I mean, yah, they set up a couple different bombs, but they would have some respect for human life, I would hope.
Hey, maybe we could fight some soldiers on the way too. Like, they arrive to try to contain the virus/zombies, and have speacial suits to protect them from the virus. And they kill some zombies but also try to eliminate us. ;D ha, I just realized that's like Half-Life. 'Surrender Freeman!'

I didn't say the terrorists. I said it would be the Umbrella corporation that would be shooting down any vehicles trying to escape. You know, cus they're trying to contain the virus. And this is suppost to be like RE. I'm thinking gritty S#itty hell when all this chaos is starting and then settles down to what we see in the games. I mean, i know its bad, but people are to die in this rpg. I think that should increase the sadness and desolation for our characters. Maybe include a little madness like in the games. Just a thought... Or maybe like with no power to the airports or whatever they wouldn't be able to get planes off the ground? But i was picturing something like this - those Umbrella guys who are suppost to isolate the city make a perimeter around [edit] the outside of city (like right beyond the water that surrounds the city, cus the city is an island right?) [/edit] with weapon placements to stop anyone from leaving [edit] the island [/edit]. Know what i mean? Um, do you think we should have our characters reacting to that second explosion to a power plant anytime soon? Like a few minutes after the first explosion from the docks? Or maybe an hour? Or what? I mean, these are all still ideas. I'd like to know if you guys like them or not, or if you're gonna do them or whatever... *sweat* |

ok i don't like the idea of people shooting down aircraft no matter who they are, really don't like gun placements, i know if i even like the power plant idea anymore. how about we don't do it.

I know how bout we make it so that everyone is nice to each other and is still alive with flower gardens at ever porch and call it Resident Happiness? I'm surprised this is coming from you . When did you get a concious on these subjects? And explain more as to why you do not think we should do that? |

well if a group of people was trying to stop umbrella by blowing up some things like the docks, and the lab, that would take alot of time, people and stuff, i don't they would have to blow up the power plant to help them escape. if the city is allready in caos it wouldn't really help any.
as far as the soldiers killing survivors maybe they could kill a few people, but guys running around blowing up helicopts and bridges would attract alot of attention, attention that they wouldn't want being as they're supposed to be a stealth team.
this should be mostly about the monsters not people killing people that aren't monsters.
so i think we should just do it like this
the virus starts spreading and in hopes to stop it they city tries to evacuate, now some people make it out, some are killed in the confusion, and some just don't beleive in zombies so they don't leave.
next the umbrella team should come and do whatever.
then whatever were gonna do

no no no, you're not listening. I DID NOT SAY its the terrorists who will be shooting down vehicles trying to escape. And when did i say that whoever was was running around inside the city? MY IDEA IS THAT ITS [glow=red,2,300]UMBRELLA[/glow] that is shooting down vehicles trying to escape (after their evacuation, but they find that people are getting infected by the virus so they reverse they're plan and keep people from leaving) and they're NOT doing this inside the city, my idea is that they've SURROUNDED THE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY and are doing it from there (cus obviously, the city is a hotbed of the virus). And dont get so technical over these "it takes time to plant the bombs and stuff". Can't you use your imagination? Just pretend that they did take their time and planned carefully and brought a bunch of people in doing all this destruction. And this is just my idea on how this all begins. All those monsters and zombies that kill people are later, of course.

oh,
but if umbreall is surrounding the city and not letting anyone get out THE HOW THE HELL ARE WE GONNA LEAVE.and if the power is out then there is not lights and no lights means NOT BEING ABLE TO GO INTO DARK PLACES like buildings and walking on the streets basically nowhere. and don't you even say oh everyone can carry a flashlight.

I have one question that I must have missed or something. Why wouldn't we be infected?

Because we're not dead... That's why matt suggested people die in the evacuation, they become zombies.

Yes, well, that certainly would explain it.

yeah exactly, only the dead are infected.
