that gun is a photoshop abomination,

If you can see it through all that crap you'' notice the tiny shotgun and the massive hand gun amongst it, If he gets that my character gets the sword "daemons bane"

[Vortigern]

I'm going to go right ahead and say no. You have to consider an element of practicality. Can you imagine having to carry that thing around? And trying to piece it all together before a fight? It would take about half an hour, by which point you're dead. But you can feel free to make a new character. Depending on what happens with a possible new storyline, we might all have to have new characters.

that gun is a photoshop abomination,

erh.. its a model from a game, cant you see that? so its not photoshop at all...

anyway, that thing only has three 'weapons' on it, one on the bottom, one in the middle, and an under slung grenade launcher or whatever(and a very small one at that...)

all the rest are scopes or stands...

[Vortigern]

Here's a better idea: have your guy carry a shotgun, a sub-machine gun and a pistol. That way you're covered and you don't have an utterly ridiculous weapon with far too many pointless extras.

[segwayrulz]

ok. heres the gun i want now (its doesnt seem overpowered)

I said "photoshop abomination" even though i knew it was a 3D model,
most ppl don't say that when they see some ugly kit bashing and you probably wouldn't of understood what "PA" stands for otherwise

[some_weirdGuy]

yeah, but that makes no sense.

anyway... is this going to get revamped, or what?

[DIGI_Byte]

im not sure, no-one seams interested in going from where i last left it, an no new chapters are being written or posted

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

Well the situation at the moment is basically that it's a potential idea and I haven't got round to a) thinking about it or b) doing anything about it.
So I'll keep you posted on any progress I might happen to make. Apologies for my general laziness.

[segwayrulz]

so what i am asking is: is it being revamped or is it going to still be a classic infection rp?

[DIGI_Byte]

there doesn't seam to be any life in it either... Sooo yea I've left my post open but no-ones helping me keep the ball rolling so to say

[southsidediablo]

I have posted in the story, tryin to get it started, but nothin...

[segwayrulz]

well maybe if we thought out a new chapter and have it a revamped style and leave the old one going for old times sake then yea it might work.
or there could just be a new "Apocalypse: Revamped!" RP?

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

Nah, we could only call it that if it was about vampires

But seriously, it's a good idea, and I believe that's what Vort meant when he brought up the whole thing. It's just, like I said, haven't thought about any of the details or any possible storyline direction which I would like to have at least vaguely formulated.

[segwayrulz]

well, we could always copy left 4 dead? and make it so we have to get to an extraction point that the army has set up, then it could be overrun while we defend for a while so then we decide to go to alaska so the infected will freeze and become corpsicles, (thats kind of a joke) seriously though we could then try to get to a safe zone which is trhough a fully abandoned city that is big and we will have to have like a day/night cycle so its different.

so what about it?

[DIGI_Byte]

I like it, Well my story and goal of my guy is to get some more supplies and head back to the air base,
So....
what I'm thinking is that that air base is being basically a fortress and would most likely have a helipad on top we could use that

If you want I probably could do a few photoshop sketches sometime so we have a fair idea of the setting an location.

[segwayrulz]

well the air base could be where the people need to go to get evacuated to the "safe zone" and it could be on the outskirts of the city/town.
but i would prefer if we like started again the story, for revampings sake but people could still keep their characters.

[some_weirdGuy]

Nah, we could only call it that if it was about vampires tongue.gif

I Get It! re-vamped ---> vampires, my god i am so thick...
((sorry, read that post ages ago but only just got what you meant))

Im interested in maybe adding a day/night cycle thing... that might be cool

Meaning at day there is very little infected activity, but at night there is heaps
and the day/night cycle can be like... every 10 posts or something (or FZM's can control when)


Well, FZM's
You may have had something good planned, but its completely stagnated, so i say we wipe the slate clean, completely

People can keep their same characters, but it will be as if everything hasn't happened yet (so they haven't met)
we then go out after some goal(find survivors? get to hospital? find a safe place? military base/evacuation point? just get the hell outta there?)

You can save up your awesome idea for some other time, just lets get this going!
(and lets all try and make it more 'creepy'... i know its kinda hard to convey that when its just words on a screen, but try. It just seemed a bit to casual to me before for some reason, infected really didn't pose a threat)

And start up the dice roll thing with people dieing, that will add to it, and that 'danger level' thing that adds to it, keep with that more.
