I'm excited, any idea when the IC post is going up?

I think Sarge said Monday?

I did indeed say Monday.

Is there a definite cast yet? Are we all "in"?

No. I'll let everybody know who made the cut on Monday when I put up the IC post. Unfortunately I've had 13 characters submitted for an RP that I was really hoping wouldn't go above 10 people to begin with. Annoyingly, so far there hasn't been a single character I'd have felt deserves to be cut, so it's going to be a tricky decision on Monday... or I could just avoid the decision entirely and accept everyone, but that might be considered biting off more than I can chew. We'll see.

 I guess we should separate our characters into two or three small groups because we'll merge at one point into the large group that the plot follows. Kaden and Jack are already in a group. So do we make one or two more and just have people join? What do you think, Sarge?

I'm not personally going to sort people into groups. People can group up if they wish or be alone, it's entirely up to them and I'll let you sort out who you group with by yourselves. I will in fact volunteer my character up to anyone who thinks they would like to start with him in their group, or alternatively I'll begin solo.

I read someone asked if the apocalypse took place in the TV show universe or the comics universe yesterday, in the comic universe the Z word is commonly used. In the TV show it has strictly been written so it never appears. Apart from the Z word being used in the comic universe, there are very little differences as to the actual universal laws. Everyone is infected, bite kills you unless you can stop it spreading (like hacking of Hershel's leg), no known cure etc. :-)

I'll be straight up with you guys and admit that 90% of this RP will be based on the lore of the Telltale Games, which seems to be the same as the TV series as far as I can tell. Playing Season 2 of the game is what originally gave me the idea for this RP, so that's my base. So yes, bites kill you unless you are very lucky and take very drastic measures. You turn when you die regardless of how you died, unless your brainstem is destroyed/damaged, and there is no known cure for being all corpsified and gross. 

And just to let everybody know, the current plan is that we will begin the RP with everyone either in or around the town of Slidell, just to the North-East of New Orleans across the lake, connected by a bridge (and presumably some sort of ferry service as an alternative). Then, SOMETHING will happen which will result in a herd of walkers passing through the town, forcing everyone to take cover. At this point, some people may choose to take cover in the same place, and glorious RP interaction will occur!
