Writer Discussion Thread: "Rebuild"

Everyone ... I'm thinking we need to lose internet pretty soon followed by power and cellphones.

Thoughts?

Yep, we are still on Monday (the second day after the outbreak) though. Internet getting wobbly in two days, break down the day after (thursday)power a week later?

I am pondering: Maybe we should start a new OCC for 'Rebuild'.

One where one of us copy-pastes relevant information LUW has spread over three threads. Where we re-post our character sheets, where new writers can post theirs, and where one of us could link them all in the first post.

Now it is just too complicated to find information. The character sheets now are here: http://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=916650 as is some information.

An example for a character sheet and some information is here: http://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=916650

We discuss plots and problems in this thread.

What do you think? Following the old law that says that, if one proposes something, said person will be asked to volunteer for the task, I now volunteer to organize a new OCC if you also think that would be helpful.
 
Hi Everyone,
Just want to provide some future plot events. Feedback welcome!

1) Internet is starting to get wobbly may fail soon …

2) Lex and scotty are going to cause some trouble for the whole library.

3) Additional gathering trips (weapons & farming & beds, etc). Ria's Team will be going out on Tuesday morning (third play day) with some extra people to raid the garden center and some houses. Cassandra and Kerry are on a weapons run as well.

4) Fear of power grid going down … will result in numerous solutions/efforts

5) During all these adventures … the groups can use campus resources/labs to start solving the zombieism puzzle. They will discover ways to protect themselves from whatever caused the zombieism? (see below)
6) start rebuilding the world (bigger problems occur ... raids from other survivors … or bigger meaner zombies show up … etc)

Suggested Zombieism (Pseudoscience explanation )

- Zombieism … acquired via a spore from a “plant/fungus” like flowering. The microscopic spores enter humans via the lungs and quickly (within mins) kill the body and takes over the human nervous system. This is how whole stadiums full of people turned into zombies within minutes**. The spores remain active for a long time (ages). If you run into a zombie and you breathe these spores … off their clothing or in their hair … within minutes … you will turn into a zombie! First day or two this happened to lots and lots of people (massive wide world expansion of zombie population). However, this is now slowing down (until the next flowering). This also explains why people were “safe” in the library.

** Not all people turned into zombies. A lot got eaten. Some people are “immune” to the spores/infection.

Anyhow, this is happening less now. As was suggested/explained in the thread this was a terror weapon released on the world! The group and why they did it is not known. There is also the real possibility this was not from earth (i.e. extraterrestrial)

- Bites and scratches from zombies really do nothing. However, and this is an important however, the skin of a zombie is crawling with a special kind of virus. This virus invades any "decaying" bugs (bacteria and the like) and kills them before the flesh decays too badly. If a human gets this virus inside their body and the human immune system does not defeat it. The human starts to act crazy (i.e. Thea … freaking out … and running off). I’m going to suggest this is curable … if the sickness runs it coarse and the human body defensive systems win against the virus … the person is better (see note below). If human defensive system fails … they turn into a NUT CASE (see below).

This anti-decaying virus as lots of “good” side effects ...who are infected by this and who's immune system doesn't fight it off are kind of immortal because the virus attacks all bacteria that would have made them ill normally. Not viruses, those would make them still ill (and they could die from those illnesses) and they could be killed by other humans of course.

People whose immune system battles the infection victoriously will still have a certain immunity to bacterial infections for some time. Also it makes them inedible for zombies

- The Zombie “green” blood …is a form of Chlorophyll … zombies are kind of half plant. This allows zombies to live a long time without much food ... Just standing in sunlight gives them more energy.

- As explain earlier… when zombies eat … their temperature drops and they slow down.
 
If all you guys are okay with it, I want to make Daniel go a little crazy. I am really sorry for not posting, but I plan to post this weekend. Like I said, I am really sorry for not posting, but RL is just overwhelming me lately!
