Play for MONEY!! Win up to 6 SBD.
That last game was quite exciting, but this next one should be better! Winners may claim their buttons with the following code:
The remainder of the players should be able to safely reach the X except for anyone still in melee. They can rollthedice to see if they made it out or not if they want, but I don't see the point of formally continuing game play since we already have a winner that got there first.
New game starting as soon as we have enough players. Please sign up in the replies section below.
If you are just seeing this for the first time and would like to play, it would probably help to look at the way the previous games went in order to get a feel for how things work.
This is sort of a board game and in its current rendition can take up to 12 players at a time. It will require daily participation. If you are interested in playing, please transfer 0.5 SBD to @happyme and the winner takes the pot. The first 12 players to sign up get to participate. If there are less than 12 players signed up after 24 hours of this post going up, it will either begin with those players or be postponed if less than 3 sign up.
Rules
Each player will have 1 action per turn, except on the first day (when they get 3 actions to allow them to spread out). An action is a move of 1 space or an offensive action (fighting).
After all players have completed their action(s), the zombies will take their turn. Zombies will attack when in a player's square.
Zombies get just 1 action per turn (except for Runners who can move 2 spaces per turn) and will begin to move after killing the players in its space. All zombies will inflict 1 damage to players if they make a successful hit and can only fight if they are in the same square as a player.
- If a player is in the same square as a zombie, they MUST engage in combat and cannot run away.
- Players sharing a space (after the initial peace-time) MUST engage in melee unless there is a zombie present, in which case they may both attack the zombie.
- Runners and walkers can be killed with a single successful hit.
- The hulk requires 2 successful hits to kill it.
Players can take 3 hits before they die. Players do not re-spawn and are out of the game if they die.
Please pay attention to the moves that have transpired before you, so that your choices are based upon facts as they are and not as they were before (the people that played before you, just altered the situation).
Weapons
- baseball bats do 1 damage and all players will be issued one.
- As dungeon master, I (or @rollthedice) will roll dice to see if attacks are successful or not. A roll of 1 to 3 is a miss. A roll of 4 to 6 is a hit.
Spawning
Each time a player moves into an un-charted space (blacked out), new zombies spawn based on dice rolls.
6 spawns a Hulk, 5 spawns a runner, 4 spawns a walker and 3, 2 or 1 spawns nothing.
Player actions
Each player will announce their intended actions in the replies to each daily post.
Tell me your player number and what you intend to do. You may either MOVE (N,S,E or W), STAY or ATTACK.
For example: Player 3; Move North. (If entering an uncharted area, @rollthedice to see what is in there.)
Alternatively: Player 3; Attack player 2. (@rollthedice to see if the attack was successful or not.)
In both cases, player 3 made 1 action and their turn is over.
Players MAY NOT attack another player for the first 2 days of play (3+1=4 actions)!
I will update the board with new player positions and zombie positions for the next day's play.
The object of the game is to be the FIRST to reach the objective (labelled with an X) and claim the prize money which will consist of the total contributed by the players.
I'm in!
Thanks! Do you want the same number?
Yes please!
Of course I play again! :)
Are we playing the exact same scenario again though? Once was fun, but it felt like it was very much up to lucky dice rolls to determine a winner (whether you encounter a zombie or not)
Mostly the same, but with some significant rule changes based on feedback and game-play. Please read the new rules to become familiar with the changes. Thanks.
Oh, I see now, the new rule that forces players to attack eachother!
Excellent!
Because I was thinking of ditching the X altogether anyway and just attacking everybody from the get-go this time :)
Also, every player is chipping in 0.5 SBD with the winner taking it all. So there is a real incentive now to be first!
Ack, I didn't read that part.
Alright, I'll chip in too. But I doubt I'll see it back.. odds of winning are small!
However: For Glory!
edit:sent
1 in 4 odds at this point.
Player 2 would definitely like to play again!
I just powered up this morning... but as soon as I get 0.5 SBD from posts (in about 4 hours) I'll send it straight to you.
Sweet! Thanks.
Paid up and ready to rock!
I am in. :)
SBD sent :D
Thank-you. Do you want to keep your player number?
yeah.. Lucky number, I think !
I'll probably be a bit late in my actions (like 10-15h after the post is up. Given the time difference and my lack of wifi).
But if that's OK ill play for sure :)
Glad to have you back.
Please note that in 5 days or less, you will have earned back your 0.5 SBD fee just from the upvotes you get daily, so there is no way to lose! (provided you stay alive for 5 days)!
I am signing in

Done
I'll play again
Wonderful! Each player is chipping in 0.5 SBD with the winner taking all. It makes winning worthwhile.
Count me in
Super! The entrance fee is 0.5 SBD to play and the winner gets all of it! Please read the new rules to be sure you know how to play.
ok done
i want to join. sounds like fun
Welcome! The entrance fee is 0.5 SBD to play and the winner gets all of it! Please read the new rules to be sure you know how to play.
Well i am done. i send SBD
Thanks. Is player number 5 OK for you?
ok for me
I'm in, as well. Sent the tokens... Where can I view an "old game," as you mention above, @happyme? And will you send me a gameboard, or do I view it somewhere else... Thanks, looking forward to playing! (Assuming I'm not too late for this one--if so, that's cool--I'll just jump in next game!
I think it would be unfair to jump into the game now since everyone else has already got several days worth of votes and are way ahead in moves. Just look through my blog for the zombie game image. Each day has an updated board shown. You can also read the comments to see how players move.
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 4.
Sorry... I'll work on this over the weekend so that it is only called in comments and not posts.
It's better than nothing! But if you can prevent it from responding to posts, the other games using the bot will likely appreciate it too.
Can I still sign up to play or is it too late?
You can still sign up, transfer the 0.5 SBD and state your moves for today!
Welcome back!
Ok, done and will do :)
Player 11 is the only spot not asked for (however there are 2 spots that have not yet paid up). If you are OK with number 11 then that's you. If you want one of the others shown on the spreadsheet as NOT paid, then please ask before they pay up.
Does not matter, whatever number you want to assign me is fine
Great! The game has begun. Welcome new player 11. Please state your moves in-game.
This is very cool! I've been encouraging my son, his highschool's dungeon master (they actually have a weekly club) to do something like this on here. This simple format is perfect. Nicely done.
Thanks. I'm surprised there are not more people doing these sorts of games already.
I'm thinking on some interactive fiction stuff, but it's hard to make it interactive, without it just losing all meaning completely. LOL
I'm learning that making games is a lot more involved than I had ever imagined.
Yeah, anything that gets good involvement on this platform is a lot of work anymore. It's too easy to just make money renting your SP to bid bots.
