Well, hundreds of Zs just attacked the mall I was camped at. I took 2 down, wounded a third and ran for cover in a nearby warehouse. We'll see if I last the night. I might be buying those zombie skills sooner than I thought. :)

What mall, HH?

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

Nichols Mall in Stanbury Village, about the center of the map.

Woah, 300+ on the south west corner and a horde of zombies all over the general area.

When it says that there are 126 people in the mall, does that mean all four sections put together? If so, we're in trouble...

Edit:

Just moved to a different corner of the mall, and it had 78 people, so the number of people is for that corner only.

Well, Nichols Mall has fallen, and rather quickly I might add. There is some talk about a counter attack, however I don't think it's very likely. The zeds are most likely going to move on before any reasonable force can be mounted.

It was swarmed this morning. I was able to get my guy out into a pub about 8 or so buildings south. We'll see if that was far enough away. I'll have to figure out where to hole up next. Malls are nice places. You can search for anything you need all in one spot. Sucks that it fell, but I was low on both points and ammo. There didn't seem to be any sense in going down with the ship.

Well, Thomson Mall in Lockettside is still safe. However, there's trouble to the south in Ruddlebank and Old Arkham-- more and more zeds keep showing up. Nothing we can't handle, though. Yet.

16 full pistols, 3 pistols with 5 shots each, 4 full shotguns, and only 215 XP left until I've got all human skills. Were I to hit with every shot, that'd be 635 XP, but at a 65% hit rate, one would expect only 413 XP. I've got 35 XP right now. As a little bit of fun, I'm not going to reload or buy skills or do anything but shoot zeds and hole up until I've fired every shot I've got on me. If, after that last bullet, I've got 448 XP plus 10 for however many zeds I finish off (I'll keep count), it will meet expectations. It's going to take a few days, as I've got 119 rounds of ammo. I'm going to start tomorrow night during chat (I should be at 50 AP by then).

Dave, it's a game. Just play the damn thing. I'm just glad I didn't see any bar graphs or box plots (yet).

Ricky, I know it's a game, but it's getting to be a fairly repetitive game. This is my way of spicing it up a little.

First night report:

Bagged 2 zeds, damaged one more. The first was wearing a flak jacket, so took 20% more than normal to kill.

I'm down to 11 fully-loaded pistols and 3 pistols with 5 shots each. Zero shotguns.

My net XP gain was 142.

Dave, please let me know if you find that 65% hit rate for projectile weapons to be (more or less) accurate. I know it can often be a perception thing, but I would swear I hit far less than half the time.

H., we'll be able to calculate my overall hit rate once I'm out of ammo.

BTW, my zombie just passed 1000 XP that he can't spend on anything.

Looks like a Zombie horde is preparing to strike Woodroffe Mall[62-63,62-63] in Tollyton from the north.
It's not far from Nichols Mall so it sounds probable.

I will see for my self when I'm up to max AP in a few hours. I'm not geared up at the moment, but better safe than sorry.

Tollyton also has a smaller Zombie presence in the south, where a smaller horde of Z's regularly pound Marcus General Hospital [66,69]

Better get that "Construction" skill and hide in a non TRP building I'll guess.

Edit: Lots of Zs around, but I can not really call it a horde yet. Lets see what will happen.
