Essentially it would be a small rp, maybe no more than six people rp-ing, with each person allowed to rp a maximum of two characters, and it will take place primarily on a small sheep farm in the English countryside, I'm thinking either Yorkshire or the Lake District. The farm, Barrow Crook, is fortified with an electric fence that is kept running on backup generators, an array of conventional and unconventional weapons (hunting rifles, pitchforks .etc.) a tractor that allows a fairly safe patrol, and even a sustainable food source with the sheep that roam the two fields belonging to the farm. The nearest village is five miles away.

All in all, at first glance, it's a pretty solid settlement in terms of survival, the real threat would come from within, from having survivors cooped up in one piece of land. So I'd really love some characters that can create tension, but not dramatically so? Like, no characters that would be batshit insane from the get-go, but characters who slowly but surely become affected by the horrific circumstances of post-zombie fallout. The farm is entirely sealed off from the outside world, it's the same mundane sights and sounds over and over again, it's the english countryside so it will be cold and pouring down with rain half the time. It will be grim, and there will be aggravation, confrontation and I'd love rp-ers who would be on board with this. the strength of the community within the farm will determine the survival of the settlement, the zombies are certainly creeping up,

I already have two characters planned, but I'd love to hear other peoples input and takes on this idea.

I'm not the biggest zombie fanatic around, but this actually looks really interesting. And combined with my recent interest (read: obsession) with Doctor Who, Sherlock, and The IT Crowd have made me overly in love with England. I think I could put in a character or two into this. :3

Definitely interested in this, but just a few questions to get my head around the farm:

-Is it self-sufficient in terms of food and water?
-Will we be going on "missions" or will it be focussed solely on the farm?
-What sort of level of interaction, if any, will we have with the infected?

Interested.

I am up for this.

-it's still quite early months since the settlement was established, maybe about three months in, so supplies are still pretty sufficient. There's also a small vegetable patch in the farmhouse garden, and a few chickens are kept for eggs but since the farm is running low on grain they've been culling the chickens down one by one and pretty soon they'll just have to kill off the lot. The best likelihood for a sustainable living is the sheep, Barrow Crook has a flock of 97, and spring will be approaching, since the sheep don't really require any man-made feed and can just graze for sustenance it's a pretty renewable food supply. There's a brook that runs just out beyond the electric fence to the west of the farm but now and if you follow it it leads into a pretty large river that can fill several cannisters with water, but since it's outside the farm it can be dangerous and since you can only carry so many cannisters you'd either have to make trips back and forth constantly or ration the water you've collected.

-Missions outside the farm do happen, to collect wate and patrol the area, but the group will occasionally roam into the town nearby, the farm has a range rover that is starting to run low on petrol, that you can use to drive in and out of town quickly. You can also go to the forest that borders the farm beyond the west electric fence to collect wood and berries. i kinda really want the rp to focus on the feeling of being isolated from the rest of the world and seeing how that effects your characters, also the technical owner of the farm, Olivia, is pretty intent on order and fortifying the farms defence rather than making the area larger, which is something that can create conflict.

-Interaction with the undead will vary, again, since the rp will draw on the theme of isolation, the farm is also in an apt location for avoiding the undead, being in the middle of the countryside and being miles from the nearest town. However, there will be suprises, which at the moment I'm saving for the rp.

This is perfectly different from the run-of-the-mill zombie RP, and I'm loving it. If you'll have me, I can make a character or two for this.

Also, curiosity begs me to ask how many of us are from the English countryside, as I am?

English city, but i moved away.

I love that it says "always cold and rainy", and currently we're experiencing one of our hottest summers. XD

I'd also be interested!

I'm interested.
But, I fail to see why they have to cull the chickens, when they could just let them be free range, and they could feed themselves.

This sounds really interesting! Count me in.

Chickens eat chicken feed. They're domesticated birds, and can't really survive on their own.

I'm interested.

Are there limitations on the types of character we can play?

I'd be down.

If this is still going down I'm highly interested!

You can make feed. Quite easily.

Interested...!
