@Kenshi What's the timeframe on the apocalypse? Just started, middle, etc?

Spam bot report thread

Figured to make one of these since the previous one died long ago and this way people can just drop a link in here instead of going out of their way to DM a mod or join the discord to send in a report.

Afaik it isn't possible with names, but if you set your title as HEAVY METAL, you can do a line break with \n to have it display that way.

Call To Action: Marginalized Groups Must Be Recognized In The Rules

<Snipped quote by POOHEAD189>

So the rule changes are coming forum side as well?

@BrokenPromise

Discord rules and site rules are the same ruleset you can find on the guild. They're not exclusive from one another.

Call To Action: Marginalized Groups Must Be Recognized In The Rules

@Zombiedude101

I'm not speaking on Franken's behalf, but as I understand it the problem with this current rule mentioned (that being the "Respect all members" rule) is that it focuses on targeted harassment of individuals, and does not explicitly cover attacks on a group or identity. The change Franken suggests would make it clear that bigotry in any form isn't allowed on the site. It may seem like common sense, but I think most of you might agree sometimes common sense is a lot to ask of a person.

@Yankee

Numerous people through out the talks on Discord have mentioned that they've witnessed people abusing this rule and using minorites like LGBT as a punching bag. Even @Chai, who is currently a chat moderator on the Discord, has mentioned that she has had to argue against people trying to defend their racist, homophobic, misogynistic, etc. comments, saying that they hadn't broken RPG rules even though what they said was incredibly derogatory towards said groups.

And even if you think it's "making a mountain out of a bloody molehill", if it helps minorities like myself feel safer on the guild, then surely it won't hurt to change/clarify it, no?

The World Has Died

Possibly keeping an eye on this. However, I do want to point out that "death via heart wound" seems like an easier way to kill zombies if you do indeed make this a modern setting. Sure, a heart is a small target, but soldiers are already trained to shoot at center mass/chest, which is where the heart is located. Not really sure how fast the virus would be able to spread that way when they can just dump ammo into the chest and hope they land a shot instead of having to fight their mindset of aiming center mass, which is typically cited as a reason why the military falls.

If you'd still want to keep the whole heart weakness though, I suggest maybe looking at Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. The zombies there die the same way but they're fighting against people with swords and steam-powered guns in industrial-era Japan.

New Beginnings: Paleo Town Heroes [1x1 or small group]

I loved Fossil Fighter and Dinosaur King when I was a Kid. Will there be any archeology stuff for getting new dinos like in Fossil Fighters or is that more info than you'd like to let on? Either way I'm throwing my hate into the ring.

@rocketrobie2

Yes, getting new dinosaurs is largely archeology-based and is typically basic knowledge, especially when you live in a place where a Professor makes his business. You must go to one of many dig sites scattered across the world and find enough pieces of a skeleton (think parts like Head Fossil in FF, not so much me asking you to find every bone of a skeleton). From there on, you must take them to a Fossil Station (which might include other amenities like a rest stop or stores, kinda like a pokemon center all in one depending on the place) where you can revive the creature.

Wild dinosaurs throughout the world, as in those outside cities and towns, are typically considered impossible to tame. You can test your luck and battle them, but don't expect to be able to call one of your own. If you want a new dinosaur, you'd have to go through the dig site method.
