ZOMBIE INVASION
Sunday 31 October (Today)10am SL time
Don’t worry about finding them they will find you :).
We hope all players will join in this one off fun event for Halloween.
You may even earn yourself some extra cash, if your nerves hold out.
Even though it is a fun event we have still tried to fit it around the general story of the game so you do not need to go OOC to play.
Please read the short intro story at the end of this note if you have not already done so.
ZOMBIE INSTRUCTIONS:
-= PHYSICAL HEALTH/WEAPONS =-
A zombie has a lifespan of max 5 minutes, if it doesn’t get killed first.
Every time it collides with players, it will drop 2 points of physical health.
Players may use either melee or range weapons to fight back.
The amount of damage is a random number based on the weapon damage
-= AWARD =-
Players that kill zombies will be awarded 100G$ for each kill , deposited directly into their bank account
(-10% of bank commissions).
-= ZOMBIE’s LOGIC =-
The zombies chase and attack one person at a time.
If you attack the zombie, it will stop chasing its current target and come after you.
If you run and hide in a crowd, it will likely lose interest in you and start to chase someone else.
If you go to Nomos2, you have better chances not to be chased by zombies, but they do cross-over sims (I think, but yet to be tested.).
-= FOOD =-
If you go to zombie hunt, you need plenty of food/bandage/armor.
It is better food on the go. If you stop at one of the restaurant and wait for your food, you may be dead before having a chance to have your meal.
-= INFECTION / VACCINE =-
Zombies will infect you, if you don’t kill them first.
In general vaccines last for the whole month.
Because it is the end of the month it is possible that you will need a new vaccine,if you were previously vaccinated against that virus.
Genotek Exclusive- An Experiment Gone Pear Shaped
INTRO STORYLINE
Investigations are underway into the mysterious slaying of four Genotek scientists last night. Autopsies released this morning uncovered all four had clean removal of their brains. A fifth scientists who survived the ordeal remains under heavy security at Bedlam facilities. Metropol detectives remain tight lipped on the situation refusing to make any comments on the events that led to the brutal murders.
“Listen lady, if you ever get a clearance through MetroTek in your lifetime then we’d only be obliged to hand you over a media statement…. but you don’t, so sod off.”
Charming as always….
Luck however seems to be on the side of Street Life when we recieved a phone call from the surviving scientist himself. the following transcript is a recording of the conversation;
StreetLife: Hello Street Life, you tell us we tell the world…
Scientist: Please i dont have much time. I am Dr [inaudible crackle] of Genotek. I must ensure Nomos is warned. the experiment, it went bad. Very very bad.
St: Oh boy are we glad to hear from you, we have a ton of questions
Sc: No. No time for questions. I will tell you straight. The miners. We’ve kept miners from sight. Years of experimentation have just gone down the drain with this final experiment.
St: Miners? Experiments? What have you done?
Sc: We were studying a strain of virus and its effects. It got too strong. We created an immunisation… but something went wrong. They got strong but they were getting hungry. They get hungrier and hungrier the more they feed. We managed to contain them for a while, but they broke free and killed everybody.
St: Not quite. You managed to survive.
Sc: Yes, i ran and fought off what i could. Metropol responded to the alarm and managed to fend them off into a vault. It wont hold them. The vaults only work on timers. We normally only use them to keep the replicants cool. After a certain amount of time the doors automatically open for an hour to let some air out. There is no way to reprogram it by the time the doors are set to reopen they will be hungry and devour anything that attempts to reshut that door.
St: Let me get this straight. You experimented on some missing miners and now, from what one can only assume through the state of your four dead scientists, they’ve become flesh hungry creatures with a taste for everybody. They’re locked in a useless vault that wont hold them and anyone walking the streets of Nomos is potentially doomed if they come across one. Wow you guys have alot to answer to for this screw up
Sc: Yes yes and i have four scientists that are very sorry. Please warn Nomos. The residents need to be armed and prepared. They need to be stockpiled on medical supplies and food.
St: When are the vault doors set to reopen?
Sc: I am calculating this Sunday morning at an estimated time of 10am.
St: How many of these things are we looking at?
Sc: the number is too great to…. [a voice is heard in the background “What do you think you’re doing doc?”] ….i need to go.
The phone goes dead.
