Well, there was someone here a day or so ago, he had some tires to sell but we're an honest semi-legal business and he couldn't prove that they were his. I mean we don't conduct trade with petty street thugs, white-collar crime is way more secure and profitable

Hmm, this is probably our guy, did he mention where he was headed next?

No, but I spied on him with binoculars from the second floor as he was walking away. He walked further down the street and then bought a ticket at the Bus Stop

Oh, hopefully someone there will remember a commuter with a bunch of tires

Thanks for letting us know. Let's go, Peri

Have a nice day, comrades. Come back anytime if you need a car fixed or some guns for the impending revolution/zombie apocalypse

Um, excuse me, why are you sneaking around like that? gasp, you're not a zombie, are you? I'm sorry but we don't serve zombies, in fact, according to company policy I'm supposed to shot you with this shotgun or cut your head off with a sharp instrument

A detective and a lady came in here yesterday, they were looking for someone who had come in here a little while ago trying to sell some tires

But they're good for gettin rid of competition. Just send a horde over to whoever you're trying to beat, and watch as they crumble slowly...the competition I mean, not the zombies, though I suppose the zombies will crumble too eventually

Oh, good... I think.
Any idea where they went?

There won't be much of a need to send any hordes to anyone, since the zombie apocalypse will soon be upon us anyhow

Harteath wrote:Oh, good... I think.

Well, they seemed quite intent on chasing after the guy with the tires, he was last seen by the Bus Stop down the street, I'd reckon that's where they went

The Bus Stop you say? Good to know.

My thanks, and remember: capitalists hate lemon juice.

Hmm, and here I thought lemonade was their bread and butter. Thanks for the tip, and if you survive, do come again!

Okay, so that guy who showed us was a player-killer.

I'm going to go hang out in front of the Necrotech building and hope someone comes out and revives me.

You've already seen that I've been revived. Don't worry about it.

The Darnell Building is our local Necrotech office and the park just to the South of it is the designated revive point. I went and stood there overnight and someone came out and revived me. Much sooner than I would have expected but that's why we keep those buildings in good repair and protect them.

That makes sense. I never could remember which one it was.

Brancker Alley Police Department (64, 76) has a new generator and it's fueled up. Now you can search for guns and ammo more easily.

A word about flare guns.

Flare Gun

Damage: 15 points (12 against a flak jacket), 30 points (24 against a flak jacket) if used against someone wearing fuel-soaked clothing.

Base accuracy: 2.5%
Capacity: One-Use Only
Locations: Fire Stations (5%), Mall Hardware Stores (2%/3%), Armories (3%), Stadiums (2%), Police Departments (1%)
Encumbrance: 2%

Starting Skill: 2.5% Accuracy
Average Damage Per 5 Flares: 1.875
To Kill 50HP Enemy: 134 Attacks

Basic Firearms Training: 15% Accuracy
Average Damage Per 5 Flares: 11.25
To Kill 50HP Enemy: 23 Attacks

Other uses: If a flare is fired into the air (by clicking on it in the inventory), it will show where it was fired to all survivors and zombies in a 14 block radius. (note: Flares can only be used as signaling when fired outside of buildings.)

Comments: Not terribly useful as a weapon. Its very low accuracy (half that of other firearms) is hardly compensated by its high damage, with three exceptions.

  1. If your only combat skill is Basic Firearms Training, this is in fact the best weapon in your arsenal!

  2. If you have Basic Firearms Training (that improves the Flare Gun's accuracy to 15%), then you might want to fire your Flares at near-death targets, even if you have otherwise better combat options. XP from a "finishing blow" is based on the amount of damage the weapon can cause, not the HP lost by the target. For example, a Pistol shot killing a zombie always gives 5 "damage XP" (plus 10 "kill XP") even if the zombie was at less than 5 HP. With a Flare, you would instead get 15 XP, effectively turning 50 HP zombies into potential 74 XP targets. The 15% chance to hit is a drawback here; if you have other combat skills, you may find that the AP you spent firing Flares was better spent tracking down and attacking another zombie with a more accurate weapon.

  3. Flare guns can also be a viable option for improving poor combat odds. While their average damage per AP is less than that of a pistol or shotgun in skilled hands, the flare gun's higher variance means it has a better chance of substantially exceeding that average. For example, a character with maxed-out skills has an 18% chance of killing a 45-HP foe with ten flare attacks, and only an 8.5% chance of killing that same foe with ten pistol attacks, even though the average damage for a pistol attack is nearly 50% higher (32.5 vs 22.5 HP). For further discussion, see Guides:Beyond average damage.

  4. Since the May 28th 2008 update flares have been given a double boost in damage if it hits a human or zombie wearing fuel-soaked clothing (can happen if the target is attacked with fuel can; target doesn't actually have to wear any clothing items to be fuel-soaked). Since flares are basically fireballs they will cause such clothing to briefly burst in flames, cause 30 points of damage or 24 if the human/zombie being hit has a flak jacket.

Flare guns are commonly of the break action type and reload in a manner similar to a double barreled shotgun. However there are no loose flare rounds to be found in Urban Dead, nor any reloading of flare guns. Each flare gun item in the inventory represents a single shot.

http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Flare_gun#Flare_Gun

I don't carry or use flare guns. If I do happen to have one one me when encountering a zombie, I'll try for a kill shot as that gives you lots of XP. But the chances of a hit are so low that I've only managed this once in all the years I've been playing. Otherwise they take up space in your inventory and cost action points to use. Not worth it.

There's someone in the shop called Eugene O'Reilly, should we ice them?

We don't just kill random people if they pass through the neighborhood. If they attack you or the barricades, yeah, then kill 'em and dump their body out into the street.

You can check their character, if you're curious about them. Newer survivor players who have a lot of zombie skills have been killed a lot and are probably working with their zombie friends, but older characters, like mine, will naturally have accumulated a lot of skills as both survivors and zombies.

Unfortunately, the groups who used to maintain the lists of player-killers and those working with the zombies to infiltrate and weaken barricades from within are not as active anymore and haven't been keeping their forum activity up to date.

Used to be tons of groups on both sides keeping the game interesting but now it's ironically a zombie zombie game, lol.

This is a better place to communicate what's going on in Malton. The Urban Dead interface isn't conducive to conveying large amounts of information.

It really isn't.
St. Wolfgang's will likely be attacked again, but I'm low on shotshells, and completely out of pistol clips. No FAKs left either.
