RSCPR response thread re: the "red" virus

K this happened in 2012 but was way different. Probs barely related.
Since no aus has been infected, doubt the guy whose doing it is aus, and also think it's maybe a dev....

That pretty much only rules out Geti....

Yeah.... I'm giving up on science

 

Attn: ALL forum members! The dung just hit the fan

An emergency correspondence just received from Gerald Baldwin of the RSCPR:

So. Yeah. We're in trouble.

There are now two things that everyone here will have to consider: 1) which survival supplies you'll be using (explanation below); 2) whether or not we should make use of the gamma burst device RSCRP has sent us.

Re: 2) --- Gerald was unsure as to whether the device would be effective (or even beneficial!), but I spoke to the head spark down in their R&D and she assured me that there would be "No, there'll be absolutely no problems! Promise! I'm 95% ±2% certain". I figured this was a decision that the community as a whole should decide on, so I've re-vamped the poll at the top of the page to allow people to have their say.

Re: 1) --- The shipment of survival supplies has arrived; however, it seems that we're short on some things. Thus I'm giving everyone 50 Plaguebux™ and it's up to you guys how you want to spend them on the items below listed below (accompanied by a brief description):

Spoiler: Weapons

• Baseball bat (bash things! duh!) 10$
• Machete (slice things, yay!) 15$
• Ice pick (wtf? idk why they sent us these, but I guess you could stab things?) 5$

Spoiler: Protective Gear

• Welding gloves (bc everybody needs hands!) 5$
• Kevlar helmet (seem to be ex-army issue?) 25$
• Thick denim overall (better than nothing, I guess) 10$
• Leather trench-coat (comes in black, brown, or red(??)) 20$
• Combat boots (there seem to be an endless supply of these, so we'll probably have your size?) 5$
• Perspex riot shield (they have Policja written on them. Guess we know where these came from! ^_^) 30$

Spoiler: Misc. Gear

• Air horn (only single use, but has a little hand-pump attached; 'though it'll probably take all day to refill it) 25$
• Pack of bandages (looks like there are 6 to a pack, which is good; although they don't seem particularly long bandages...) 15$
• Bottle of what might be iodine? (100's of uses and probably better than nothing in a pinch. Although, tbh, there's nothing to say what help it will be...) 5$
• Pack of flairs (3 to a pack, might be good if you need help!) 10$

Please post in the thread stating the items you'd like (taking care to not spend more than 50 Plaguebux™, ofc).
---

As for actually using these items, simply responding to a zombie attack (by commenting after it, stating what you're using) should be enough. If you plan on using multiple items (say, for example, bashing the zombie with a Baseball bat, and then using a few drops of iodine to help clean out any wounds afterwards) just say so. Yes, I do believe you can dual wield.

I think that's it? Please shout out to me if something isn't clear/doesn't make sense!

Let's go waste zombies!

 

Assuming these will go well with my vast collection of cuban-heeled shoes, I'd like 5 packs. And also an ice pick.

 

I'll grab a machete, bottle of whatever that is, (gonna test it on some random first, just in case) and a pack of band-aids to fix that glass sealed apartment that RSPCR has no idea I've broken yet....

 

@Fellere825 - No, you may not earn more Plaguebux™; although you are free to pool your monies with others and/or trade in items for others (assuming you've not used said item up; e.g. you can't trade in a half-used pack of bandages). Yes, you may use Misc. Gear on non-zombies.

@Hella - That comes to 55$. lrn5math You'll need to choose between 4x flares and a pick OR 5x flares and no pick.

@ieatpieandlikepie - Bribing me will have zero effect on whether zombies try to eat you; although I'd happily recieve the rest of your money as a gift so I can buy a shield and some boots...

Everyone else, your orders have been noted.

I've just been attacked by @Galen and as such I'll be taking: an air-horn, a leather trench-coat (brown), and an ice-pick. Please feel free to come help kill Galen (@toffie0, I suspect this might be a chance to test out your bottle of, erm, stuff). ^_^

 

@FuzzyBlueBaron

Ta, was planning to use that machete I brought on a random to get the test subject I needed, but you'll do.

*uses test subject, by using only one drop*

 

I'm trying to remember when last I told you how completely terrifying you are, Toff.

Anywho, I guess we'll soon see what the effect of said bottle is.

 

@toffie0 - I've just realised that you've only spent 35$ Plaguebux™. Did you want to get some protective gear?

 

Na, I'm good, don't trust those shifty looking protective gear, also never been a fan of protection anyway, I'll grab another bottle of that stuff, since it seems... Interesting...

Oh and if I can afford it a baseball bat, who doesn't want a good baseball bat to hit 'things' with
