Since there's suddenly so much interest, would you all like for me to post the CS skeleton now? That way you all have something to work on while I create the OOC? [quote=@clericbeast] [@Palindromatic] What with the compelling manner in which the original post was worded, I'm sure they'll come flocking in droves once they spot it. (I'm being sincere; that was a thoroughly entertaining read.) [/quote] Well thanks, Cleric! I'm glad it came off as entertaining. Also, I go to sleep and wake up to find more interest than I expected... how did you know? Are you magic? [quote=@SirBeowulf] I'll have to say I'm also pretty interested, and my friend Ink might also be as well. He ain't sure yet. How much of the population has survived the apocalypse? 2%? 1%? How much progress has been made on The Towers to turn it into a liveable place? Do we have power and shit? Decent living quarters? Oh, and nice to meet you two. I'm thinking of making a gentle guy in his mid twenties who used to be a preschool teacher. AVERAGE. [/quote] A mild-mannered middle-aged preschool teacher? My, that's so average! I feel understood! Glad to see you're interested, and recruiting friends! To answer your questions: 1) Roughly 1% of the population survived - definitely for the region we'll be playing in, leaving it at about 120 000 surviving humans from the city alone; 2) The Towers have been running for three months, so I'd say enough progress to make them worth living in. Because mostly everyone died spontaneously, the majority of the condo's units weren't too unlivable. Just had to toss the bodies outside. Add the rooftop garden(s), rainwater-collecting systems and campfire sing-along nights, and I think they're doing okay. I didn't want to have them too established before the RP; I kind of wanted all of us to build the rest; 3) No power yet. Generators are something we'll aim for, but as of now, people have to actually take the stairs. It's good for them calves, though. [quote=@Gowi] You forgot "katana-wielding teenage badasses". But yeah, could be nice. Haven't seen a survival horror worth my spit in ages. [/quote] "This is my character, her name is Michonne - I mean, Mich[i]elle[/i]. She has a katana and is really strong and kills really good and is a lone wolf. Oh, and she's thirteen." Yes. Weren't we all when we were thirteen. Good to see you're interested! Although, please, save your saliva. That's a lot of pressure you're putting on me here to create something worth sharing it.
