Rata Mall - Zombie Chat

[Primate]

I was going to, just thought you might want the camera. Ok.

[RubberDuck]

Well, I do want the camera, I'm just highly suspect of it.

I suspect the lab can connect to it, so they are effectively trying to bug us.

If she offers it to me, I might take it and sabotage it, or conceal it somehow.

[RubberDuck]

I am thinking of going to the Phone store next phase, I think its another room that has been largely forgotten, unsure if anyone else has been there. Someone else might realize this as well and decide to check it out. The focus of everyone else should be the lab, the cinemas, or the office which have been unlocked, so I'm hoping to catch a stray like Nexus.

We really need to get you a 2nd weapon.. and if we could just land one more zomb, we'd be strong enough to tank out the rest of the crew. Pooky and Battlemage were two of the strongest characters, its just sheer dumb luck that they died early. Our biggest threat now is the laser pistol and the full mob of players as well as people who may be close to winning.

You are welcome to join me, or choose your own room (note that you are d2+1 while on your own) or make other suggestions.

The Steroids' add a +1 to Str for a phase, so I am currently combat strength D4+3, if we both attack together for D4+3 + D2+1 giving us a combined attack range of <6-10>.

One more armed zombie would up that to (D4+3) +(D2+1), +(D2+1) for a range of <8-13> making us impossible to beat in a 3v2 fight.

The average combat strength in the game is D5 and most players have not seemed to realize that duel wielding 2x +1 weapons at once is valid.

To give you an example if both Yvonne and Jia attacked us that would be about (D4+1 weapon) (+1 support +1 weapon)

Simplified:
D4+D2+D2 +5 <8-13>
VS D4+3 <4-8>

[RubberDuck]

Correction:

Simplified:
D4+D2+D2 +5 <8-13>
VS D4+3 <4-7>

I typo'd the final number.

[Primate]

Do you even have another syringe to convert a zombie?

Also, why isn't groza telling anyone, did you square it with him?

[RubberDuck]

I had 3 doses after refilling at the barbers. I have 2 shots left.

I do believe groza knows to watch out for the undead, and core specifics about my role backstory and the absinthe bottle, which we fortunately left in the barbers, I suggested to him it could be there still as we didn’t look for alcohols and that was Terry’s addiction role.

I’m starting to think he hasn’t linked the zombie virus as an intentional spread by a player. He knows it was my predecessor that created the virus and destroyed the world. I think he expects zombies to be the walking dead as in corpses but with everyone else flipping tables I’ve somehow got under the radar. So I’m literally just not saying anything about it and trying to keep him focused on Jia and the AL drones. I probably need to get rid of my stop watch though permanently. It will link me with the mad scientist behind the mall.

[Primate]

Talitha just asked me about what happened in the barbers and I gave her the same description. If she did see what happened in there, it's broadly what actually happened, so unless amb gave her a super detailed view with the cameras it should be fine.

If anyone asks how you knew about the secret passage you can mention that it's a reference to the shawshank redemption, where there is famously a secret passage behind a raquel welch poster.

[Primate]

Tali says "She basically told me all the injection does is interrupt someone who is performing an action and stops them."

Is that accurate? Are you denying it's a cure now?

[Primate]

I'm going to go to the cinema or the office, I think, probably the cinema. I think it makes sense for the two of us to split up a little and get a bit of distance regardless, and you can probably take anyone in a 1v1 anyway.

I know Groza is going to the cinema, don't know where anyone else is going.

[RubberDuck]

That’s what I’ve told talitha, neither her nor Jia believe it’s a cure. They think I’ve been scavenging parts for something so I angled to tali towards being a Dr of science. I was trying to get batteries and lasers and using cctv for parts and hinted that I really wanted to get the tv going in eatery.

I made a deal with tali that I would give her an alibi because I knew her morally grey is just of capable of flipping evil at the end and she agreed.

[Primate]

Ok, I've told her I received a role pm update from ambic that my win condition has changed. I can't entirely verify your story, but "there's something going on."

What I'm considering at the minute is that I tell groza that i believe that you're actually the AL recruiter and you just haven't activated the chip yet. This is both really plausible and has a really nice flipside for if the Actual AL recruiter turns up later. It's huge risk/reward.

[RubberDuck]

That seems overtly unnecessary. That guarantee's i'll be attacked. But if I die, you need to get the syringe.

[Primate]

I feel like this isn't going to land positively regardless. I'm not going to tell him before we split up regardless and I'll get confirmation from you it's acceptable before I do.

[RubberDuck]

Ok that's fair, you need to try and stay away from me as much as possible in the thread, possibly even suggest killing me.

If I somehow survive the next room and pick up one more recruit, we should be able to tank the remaining players, but I will ask for feedback before doing so.

[RubberDuck]

Primate, did you pick up the helium tank from Leo? I need a distraction. I'm thinking having you puncture it so it flies around the room.

Identifiable people in the room are Jia (Pitchfork), Groza (Body shape and briefcase), Zag (Unconscious), Carla (Flashlight)

If you can cause a scene with the helium tank, by puncturing it with your knife.

I need long enough to Jab and restrain Groza so that no one notices me do it or that he's seizing.
I'll ko him if he doesn't turn into a zombie.
I'll take the gun
Then to quickly try jab cindy
Then I'll lights on while she's twitching
Use my laser pointer+gun on Talitha for accurate shot because of her chainmail armor and that leaves a fight with Jia, Xavier and Ariel.

If we turn either Cindy or Johannes, we will be strong enough to take all three.
Then finish off Mark who is unconscious.

I'm not confident I can pull of all these actions? If someone turns on the light before I've got the gun from Groza or jabbed Cindy.

What do you think?

[RubberDuck]

The helium tank is still on the ground by Leo, if you are willing to give this a shot, we could "Puncture helium nozzle so it flies around room."
Make sure you don't impale the tank itself or it may just blow up and point it away.

Let me know what you think, or if I'm just insane, or if you can create another distraction?

[Primate]

I'm literally in bed just about to go to sleep but I think that has very little chance of working.

I concede control of my actions to rubber duck if she wants to try it

So your call but I definitely wouldnt.

[RubberDuck]

I hope to hell that was you that just moved in the thread. If that helium tank is gone, someone else here can read my telepathy. There might be another telepath.

Hello?

[Primate]

It wasn't. I suspect someone pickpocketed something

[Primate]

This is something coordinated imho. Multiple things will happen.

[Primate]

Either that or someone just thanked the unconcious mark

[Primate]

Shanked

[RubberDuck]

No, I'll leave it, you're notably better at this type of game than I am, so I'll defer to your judgement. I bet you're right, I'll probably get blamed for that lol.

[Primate]

I dont mind an aggressive maneuver I just think that's too many actions at once without it backfiring as others get input. I like mark dying at this point to be honest, it would be an interesting wrinkle.

[RubberDuck]

Is that a bluff or is Mark actually dead? Your best bet now would be to accuse me of doing the deed after threatening to kill zag earlier, claim that I probably killed zag to stop him from calling me out on my BS.

You should ask for a consensus from the room for Johannes to shoot me, as I'm most likely to be either the Drone or related to the mad scientist and it will benefit everyone to remove me so then they can focus on other tasks.
