Author Topic: Z-COM: Cult of Sirrus  (Read 2539 times)

Hey there friendos, I've been working on a forum game that's somewhat inspired from XCom and wanted to try it out.

Wait what is this?
It's a game where you and others get control of a group of survivors and have to survive a zombie apocalypse

Oh ok that sounds cool how do I participate?
Go ahead and fill out this form if you want to join in

Code: [Select]
Name:
Profession (This can be something like gunsmith, medic, etc):
Avatar (Make this an image of the customization screen, default colors only):
Anything else to add:

So do we have a base or something?
Your group starts out in Sirrus Military Compound (includes a medbay and armory) but can move elsewhere if you decide to.

Wait, how many people am I controlling?
You control the character you submit

What if I die?
Then you lose control of your character, the game restarts when everyone is dead, I may allow others to hop in when someone else dies.

Can we go exploring other areas?
Yup, you'll be able to travel to other places and collect loot from there, note that other survivors may be present there.

You said earlier that this was inspired by XCom, does that mean it's turn based/luck based?
When combat and other specific things are going on, other then that it's based on what you decide to do.

Anything else I should know?
Look here, this is basic stuff like guns, there's also weather and things like that, which I'll explain later.

How many people can play at a time?
I've decided to have a maximum of 15 players for this game, this number may change later.

What guns are you using?
I'm using Complex Weapons and Some of the Raycast Weapons from here.

So how do I interact with my character?
You interact by making a post describing what they do, if you want to have it more personal you can PM me.

Can I break the 4th wall and make my character have super powers?!?!?!
No, make your character realistic, no telekinesis or sudden knowledge that they don't exist.

How fast does time move?
Monday through Friday is 12 ingame hours in one real life day, Saturday, Sunday, and any breaks from school is 1:1

Name: Leroy Rushworth
Profession (This can be something like gunsmith, medic, etc): Former retail worker

Avatar (Make this an image of the customization screen):
Anything else to add: Years of working (and being abused by customers and bosses alike) in Retail has taken it's toll on him. Now that the zombie apocalypse is here, he can take revenge on the zombified husks of his former customers and managers that abused him for so long. Preference for revolvers.

Also how about adding a .38 revolver to the weapons list

Name: Barney Alcatraz
Profession (This can be something like gunsmith, medic, etc): Mechanic
Avatar (Make this an image of the customization screen):
Anything else to add: Handy with a wrench or any other type of tool. Since the zombie outbreak he hasn't had any surviving friends or family. His main weapon is a pump action shotgun, and melee is a monkey wrench

Some backstory or whatever
You and your group of survivors have just escaped Collaboration City, after being overrun with infected. After traveling for a few days you find yourself at Sirrus Military Compound in the middle of the desert. The main gate was closed but one of the emergency gates were open.

Game will start when more people join in.
In the meantime, you can all decide on a faction name.

Location: Sirrus Military Compound

Explored Area (Sight lines do not count)

Survivors so far:
Leroy Rushworth
Barney Alcatraz

How about "Children of Sirrus" or "Cult of Sirrus"?


Would "Z-COM: Survival Unknown" or just "Z-COM" be a better thread title also

I think I will put Z-Com and then the name of the faction that you guys agree upon

So if we go with "Cult of Sirrus" the title would be "Z-COM: Cult of Sirrus"

Anything else to add:Aiden has an average intelligence, his father was a soldier, so he knows how to operate a gun. Skilled with the micro UZI. After a long childhood of melting plastic army soldiers he has learned how to control a fire.

Look on the second to last page of gravity's addon dump for more weapons. Gear released some more of Gravity's work.

OT: Do we start now since it seems not many others are participating

EUH

Leroy Rushworth
Years of working in retail have built up an amazing level of patience and tolerance, which helps in combat situations. A thirst for revenge has also given him a damage bonus whenever he is in Collaboration City. On him is his favorite firearm, a .38 S&W Revolver.

Barney Alcatraz
Working as a mechanic has granted Barney the ability to repair repair vehicles and even operate on devices that use electricity. The loss of his friends and family have taken a toll on him, however, and is suffering from depression. He currently has a Remmington 870 Shotgun that his Dad used to own.

Aiden Hank
A few years of being a chef has trained Aiden to prepare and cook meals. A past experience with handling firearms has also proved to be effective. Has a Colt M1911 Pistol on him.

And that's it
The game has started

Quick question: Do the survivors already know eachother's names at least



Leroy moves in to the circled building in order to explore it.

"Any of you guys want to come with?"

Quick question: Do the survivors already know eachother's names at least
They know just their names and some bits here and there, nothing major.

This is what Leroy sees, nothing of interest.
Leroy moves to the building labelled "ADMIN" by himself and finds...
