Guys, I just checked the Hospital and is there seriously a pissing match going on over the hospital? Please tell me it's just folks role playing and not actually giving that much of a shit, specially considering they don't want to bother updating the wiki.

I'm... not really sure what's going on in there. Though perhaps if it's that big of a deal we really should just move nextdoor? I certainly don't want to piss some established group off right off the bat. Do we have someone who's "officially" speaking for us? I'd nominate JHocking or another of the more experienced players if they're around.

It looks like just two people who thinks the hospital is "their" and probably goes to neighbouring warehouses to cyber. Nothing to worry about.

Looks more to me like some people got annoyed by the way we phrased our announcement of our intentions to start staffing the hospital, but didn't mention it on the game until the big-mouth from ENVY decided to go waving his dick around. I guess I can see where they are coming from, apparently they have been there for a while, but you ought to put at least something on the wiki, and if you don't you shouldn't complain when people think it is empty.

Snalin, nobody cybers in urban dead. 50 lines later, right when things start to heat up, they have to wait another 25 hours. Can you imagine the blueballing?

EDIT:
Ok I got lab experience so I can revificaterate you guys now.

Hm had you already tagged all the zombies near the hospital? Looks like I should be going further afield so we aren't overlapping.
Not really, but I might have tagged one or two on my way from/to Vinetown.

How did we phrase it anyway? I haven't bothered to scour the wiki for our announcements, but I did see a line on the hospital page saying we are staffing it.

On the one hand, this sort of thing is part of why I said we should probably just cool it with announcing on the wiki that we're running everything. On the other hand, if some group wants to maintain the hospital too then who cares? The problems that happen in turf wars are when different groups have different barricade plans and they end up fighting over the barricade levels, but it's not hurting anyone (and literally healing people) when more people help out at a hospital.

So someone should make an wiki entry saying we are helping out with running the hospital? I don't know, it seems like they overreacted about semantics.

EDIT: I just saw that on Serious Ponies page there is this:
"Recently the Serious Ponies group has begun aiding the running of St. Matthew's Hospital in Pegton and is currently looking at the possible maintenance of a revivification point. "
So, there shouldn't be any more problems, I guess.

I just spent about 30 AP searching St. Matthew's, and got only 2 FAKs to show for it.  Now that is annoying.

*whoops for joy* I finally stopped checking in every 3 hours and built up enough ap to wander over to St. Siricius's, rebuild the barricade, and fully heal all inside. Why hello there freerunning skill, I wasn't expecting to see you so soon.

And for the record, if people really get difficult I don't see why we can't just base out of the hospital next door and hang around St. Matthews to lend a hand. I mean, St. Siricius seems to get more action and wounded survivors anyway from what I've seen.

I'm thinking of committing suicide if I'm in a tall building that I can jump off off. I just got 100 XP so I want to purchase Lurching Gait. Would it be lame for me to commit suicide just to purchase a skill? The suburb seems pretty safe so I don't know how long I'd be waiting to die in a break-in, and I don't want to just stand outside to let some zombie get XP off me. Afterwards naturally I'd be headed to St. Siricius's to let you guys get the XP for healing me back up.

aargh I've been hitting refresh to see when I recharge an AP, but I've been recharging on an action page without noticing so it just repeated my last action and used my AP. fuck I've been waiting half an hour and I just fucking wasted the action

At this rate my question about suicide will be a moot point because a zombie will have killed me before I get to make any actions.

Why didn't you just save XP for after you died naturally (well, naturally for a zombie-infested city)? I've been doing that, I've currently got 192 XP on Suentobe so I can get lurching gait when I die.

I never read this thread because I assumed it'd be another 'zombie apocalypse planning thread' and didn't feel like caring. Then people were talking about it in Gabbly and I was like 'weird, I just woke up my old character'.
Apparently I am only about nine squares away from you guys' hospital. Presumably I will be there tomorrow morning.

I am torn: on the one hand I'd like to get in on this, but on the other hand I'm really enjoying imaging the game from your commentary as a real-life thing with really realistic film-like graphics and I don't want to be disillusioned.

Please keep describing stuff! I am playing vicariously through this thread.

dammit I was revived a little bit ago and just went to St. Matthew's for healing. I would be in St. Siricius, but Norton Square Railway Station is overbarricaded and I nearly ran out of AP outdoors, cripes. The walk from the cemetery to the hospital should only take 3 AP but I should've known I need to wait for full AP befor getting up because some asshole always overbarricades the entry points.

EDIT: okay I just moved to St. Siricuis. I saw a lot of you in St. Matthew's but I'd rather sleep in an EHB building, so if anyone needs XP from healing that's where I'll be until tonight.

EHB vs VSB is an interesting question. Hospitals are pretty much targets anyways, and EHB may imply more tasty harmanbargarz inside.

p.s. I hit someone with a toolkit because a) you had slick in your name and b) I didn't know you could hit people with toolkits.

I would think that this is at least part of the reason for St. Siricius being attacked more but i would also presume that zombies get XP for attacking barricades? If so, more barricades means more XP.

There are a lot of tips on the previous pages, but if you don't have time to read through:

The easiest class to start with is firefighter. Not that everyone chooses firefighter (I for one didn't) but that's something to consider.

The first skill you want to purchase is Freerunning. Other than the decisions about what skill to get next involves more weighing pros and cons, but in almost all cases you want to get Freerunning as soon as possible.

Always leave plenty of AP at the end of your moves to find a VS building to get back indoors. The game suggests 10 AP by turning red as a reminder, but to be on the safe side you should probably start looking for a safehouse at 15 AP.

um, a couple other things that I can't remember off the top of my head

Oh, and I'm having a hard time deciding between picking up Advanced firearm training skills or just going for Construction. I'm already at 55% accuracy with any firearm I happen to scrounge up, so I'm kinda leaning towards Construction at this point, since firearms are just good for quick kills and experience generation anyway.
