Since your last turn:

• sherry stringfield said "*taps martini glass with axe handle* Listen up everyone! Our honoured zambah guest Totenmannskiste is about to give a lecture, and this one offers an opportunity for real-time excitements. He'll arrive soon on 30HP. DO NOT HEAL HIM." (40 minutes ago)
• sherry stringfield said "Halfway through the lecture, he'll ask to be killed, which everyone can join in doing (some of you might even relish it ...), and then he'll continue the lecture as a zombie. Remember, no healing!" (38 minutes ago)
• EmmyJay said "*grabs cookies and some necrotini and sneaks away*" (31 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "Totenmannskiste is my name, and if you look at my profile, you'll notice that I'm a Feral Undead." (18 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "You are right now at Malton College of Medicine, which can be found in Malton, teaches medicine and throws parties like back in college. Though not necessarily in that order of importance." (18 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "Today, it will be my job to put back the C in MCM by teaching you something about the methods a feral zombie can employ to organize sieges." (18 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "Basically, there are two kinds of zombies in Malton - those that are part of organized, meta-gaming hordes as RRF, MOB or Undeadites, and lone gunmen like me who unlive on their own." (18 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "Organized hordes are little different from survivor groups as far as communications go - forums, IRC, you name it. These toys allow for instant, clear and unhindered real-time comm." (18 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "Ferals on the other hand have only in-game methods of communication. You are likely aware of the feeding groans that experienced zambahs use to point out food sources across several blocks." (17 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "This is indeed a very powerful communications technique, and I'd argue that it's by the far the most effective, clear and powerful one in all of Malton." (17 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "But apart from that, ferals really seem to be hindered, don't they? An untrained zambah can only use a few pre-set words, with 'Mrh?' as the universal revive request as probably the best known one." (17 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "Experienced zambahs can gesture at things and people. While that is very clear output, the underlying message remains broad and vague." (17 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "The other major technique is rattling, which theoretically allows to communicate more complex and concrete message." (17 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "In practice, it takes some skill and wording to communicate what you want. Even the clearest rattle has some ambiguous spots." (17 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "The troubles and potential frustration of deciphering rattles also means that many casual ferals will dismiss it as gibberish and ignore it, rather than try to understand it." (16 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "Yet, by combining these approaches and adding another more hidden way of communcation, more ambitious ferals as me can get things done." (16 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "My assistants will now smite me, so I can show live on stage how that works..." (16 minutes ago)
• Craddle said "C'mon, didn't he just ask you to kill him?" (15 minutes ago)
• Craddle killed Totenmannskiste with a fire axe. (15 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste rose from the dead as a zombie. (15 minutes ago)
• McThulhu said "-his tentacles bore into Toten's skull as he attempts to eat his brains-" (15 minutes ago)
• Craddle said "DON'T DUMP THAT BODY!" (15 minutes ago)
• A zombie gestured at itself. (14 minutes ago)
• A zombie said "GANG N BRAHZ N Z!ZZARZ, RAZZ ZMAZH BARN AZ GANG N - - - - HAHRZ. ZAZZ - - - - - - - B.M. B!RM!NGHAM. GRAB MAH NAB BHAR MAHR." (14 minutes ago)
• A zombie gestured at itself. (13 minutes ago)
• A zombie said "GAHZZ - HAHR, N GANG BAZH BARN ARM N ARM. ZAZZ - - - - - - - B.M. B!RM!NGHAM. GRAB MAH NAB BHAR MAHR." (13 minutes ago)
• Craddle said "Did he just say 'gang up in brains' ?" (13 minutes ago)
• A zombie gestured at the barricades. (13 minutes ago)
• You heard a loud but muffled groaning from inside the building. (13 minutes ago)
• Mere Bystander revivified a zombie. (13 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste stood up. (13 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "*stands up and knocks the dust off* Ah, was good to be dead again, though it lacked clawing people... Got everything?" (12 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "In my first rattle, I said: 'Gang & bros & sistahs, let's smash barn as gang in 4 hours. That's 7 P.M. Birmingham (=GMT). See my profile for more.'" (11 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "Note the use of dashes to communicate numbers unambiguously and understandably for casual players, something that rattling normally doesn't permit." (11 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "It's the one line I use some hours before a strike, so others can see it, save their APs and log in later at the specified date, so all can attack at once." (11 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "Ganging up is what makes or breaks a siege. Not only do we share the necessary strikes to take down the cades, so that more AP remain to spread mayhem." (11 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "There's also the benefit of cade blocking if you can get several zambahs in. 2-3 zambahs mean already a noticeable reduction in chances to create a cade level, and it gets better the more are inside." (11 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "If you look at my profile (which I encourage by optionally pointing at myself), you'll notice that its description says the same thing as the rattle, just more clearly. That's the hidden way I talked about earlier." (10 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "You have to know that zambahs are normally anonymous, and that there profile is not available. Only by performing actions as rattling and gesturing, you make it available for others." (10 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "The second rattle means 'Just 1 hour, and we smash barn arm in arm. That's 7 P.M. Birmingham (=GMT). See my profile for more.' It's one I use shortly before the strike, as a last-minute reminder." (10 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "The gesture at the cades is done right at the strike time, and leaves no questions open, especially as that is the time where the cades noticeably drop if it is a successful Feral Movement manoeuvre." (10 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "The groan convinces the last skeptical minds of the availability of braanz, and draws in fresh new ferals, so that the next siege wave can become an even bigger success." (10 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "Those were just 6AP spend on communication, and with a large enough audience, they'd well be worth the effort. If you trim all the fat that's not strictly needed, you could get away with 2-3AP." (10 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "That's how we ferals can try to organize without any meta-gaming. There's also a more intensive wiki article on it: http://tiny.cc/feral Any questions?" (9 minutes ago)
• McThulhu said "-Seamus grabs ahold of his tentacles and gives them a scolding look- No eatin' brains!" (8 minutes ago)
• Craddle said "Umm, toten, I have a question, can we heal/stampede you now?" (7 minutes ago)
• Totenmannskiste said "Yes, folks can heal me now and grab up to 30XP from me. Everything necessary is set and done now." (1 minute ago)
