Zombies
Zombies are the reason you are in the town in the first place. Every night, zombies attack the town and kill anyone outside of it, and force people to build defences to fend them off. They destroyed society, and most of everyone else. They populate the world beyond, and the virus infects corpses and makes them attack you. They trap players in squares in the world beyond. They wound you, they kill innocent children, and they ate your girlfriend. So, in total, they are evilKill personified. Evil needs a manicure. And a pedicure. And just plain old plastic surgery.
These rotting bastards are the main reason people die in die2nite. What you can do to rid yourself of them is: 1. Kill them with any weapons you can find. Water works best, but anything will do. You can even use that stick you found over there, but unless that zombie was a 1 month old fetus, odds are it wont work. 2. Fight them fist to teeth and putrid flesh. Low chance of success, high chance of them whacking you full force across the face. Not much different from your yearly meeting with your mother-in-law, really. 3. Construct defences that will destroy them or at least tick them off that they cant get inside your town. A defence that will completley destroy all the zombies in the zone is Air Strike. The entire map goes BOOM. Unknown if people outside or buildings are affected. 4. Suicide. Cyanide, poison, being an asshole and someone hangs you, or dehydrating yourself are all effective methods. Another is to not play the game. 5. Find Chuck Norris. The rest is obvious.
On the map in the world beyond, zones with zombies in them that have been previously explored are colered differently. This is what the colors mean: Dark green means no zed. Dont expect it to last. Light green is one zombie. Avoid if terrorised. Brown is 2-3 zombies. Risky to enter, as you may get stuck. Red is 4-9 zombies. Never enter unless traveling with a small group. Or carrying a bunch of water ballons. Blue is 10-20 zombies. Never enter. Period. Unless, of course, 5 people are carrying an inventory of weapons. Man, I need to stop contradicting myself. (confirm) Purple 20+ zombies. Dont enter unless you are a sucididal moron, a moron, or in a tank armed with nukes.
Zombie viruses infect dead players, so you should dump them outside, smoke them on the cremato cue, or water them. Otherwise, they will smash down both your door and your head. Watering them destroys them once and for all, smoking them makes some food, (Yum, cannabalism. Now all you have to do is rip off your flesh and paint yourself green, and go "brainsss......."all the time.) and putting them outside lets them join the zombie horde. It also costs AP to drag them.
If zombies get through the town gates, and some former citizens get through, they will toss a stone in the well and splash out about 20 rations of water. This can be disasterous if enough citizens get through. Also, if zombies get through, a random amount of zombies will go to a random citizen and attack them. If the defence for their house is the same or more as the zombies attacking, they survive but become terrorised. Otherwise, they die.
Good luck out there, new citizen, and heed this advice well!
