Zombie Apocalypse RP Intrest thread

Postby Zerlos » Mon Aug 05, 2013 3:35 am

I just want to start this by saying, I'm still fresh here, if this is the wrong thread for an 'intrest' thread, please tell me so I can move it.

Anyway, as none of you know, I am a huge fan of the zombie genre. Yes it has been over done, and yes there is pretty much nothing new that can be done for the genre. It has been pretty much milked. However I remain a loyal fan to the rotting ones. The societal and psychological impacts of an apocalypse have always interested me, as it is often what people perceive to be what humans would be in their most basic form, and how they would function. The zombie apocalypse is my favourite form of this as the ever pressing danger causes constant stress, leading to eventual breakdowns, and impossibility of finding a comfortable life unless you strike gold somewhere.

Now I am not obsessed but I have done a bit more study of a zombie uprising than your average Joe. I read the books, I play the games, I study the movies from time to time, but I always end up thinking. This is one persons take on the apocalypse. This is one persons opinion or prediction. What I want, is a group of peoples ideas, how they think they would react.

I'm sure someone one this site has done a zombie survival RP but I wanted to make my own. I would like to make an RP where you play yourself during a zombie outbreak. You will become my loyal test subjects.

So, the way I would set this up. I will pull a map from google maps of a small town, and designate an area for players to choose a house. Then, the outbreak is released. It is entirely up to you how you react, but I want you to be true, to what you think you would really do in this situation. If you think barricading yourself in your house is the way to go, you do that, if you honestly think starting up the chainsaw and going on a rampage through the streets is a good idea, then it's your funeral. I will control a few NPC's, but my main job will be to control the zombies. Using all the zombie lore and such I have learnt over the years, I will try to simulate the most realistic Zombie apocalypse I can.

If you think you are interested, post below, as well as any suggestions. If I get enough interest, I will create a application thread, and telegram everyone interested with the link.

I think I'll bump this until it gets 100 something views. If 100 something people aren't even interested, then clearly zombies are not floating any ones boat :)

I really like zombie RPs, but this should be moved to Portal to the Multiverse. Don't worry though, I'll tell the mods and they'll move it. Love the idea, though, it sounds like Class 3 Outbreak.

I'd love to join - is there some sort of application form I need to fill out, or would I just have to give you details of the people I would be roleplaying?

I've seen zombie RPs last for years - look through the archives at ZORT, it was zombie/fantasy and only died when we created a real life spin-off which split people's attention

I'd love to join, but I'm going on holiday tomorrow. Not really sure why I'm posting then, but felt I should say

Well this is plenty enough intrest. I am out at the moment but when I get home I will write up a signup thread and link it in the OP. Ill also TG the link to everyone just to make sure I'm turning intrest into applications.

Remember the idea of the RP is to play yourself. Ofcourse you can change your name and age but as long as your character thinks like you. :)

Te Kuiti, New Zealand.
This is where the RP will be set unless a better one is suggested.
Go ahead and search on google maps or what ever to get an idea of the setting.

You don't need firearms to kill G's, this makes it all the more interesting.
