Let's Survive Zafehouse: Diaries!

Andrew didn't do anything because he was in the middle of coming back from the church.
Vide and Tionivo ordered Video and Oscar to breach the store.
Ozzo order Mary to search the house.
Snark ordered Snark to cook.



The more astute of you will remember that I said earlier that watching is unnecessary right now because there aren't a lot of zombies in the early game.

Well, it's not my fault Andrew fucked up. Geez, how hard is it to walk QUIETLY back to a house? Seriously.



Now two of us are wounded, and we have no medicine supplies in this house whatsoever. :/ Give me your actions, boys and girls.

THE TURN I STOP BEING PARANOID EVERYONE GETS ATTACKED. :|

Welp. You guys are on your own, Oscar and I are off to fuck a zombie up and steal his shit.

EDIT: I also need to get my hour of sleep before work, so I will see the results of our breach when I get off-shift.

Mary! I looked after you in your hour of need, yet you disobey my orders to get into the bedroom!?

Nonetheless, I return to my cooking duties. Not even a zombie attack or a broken heart will stop me, for I am Iron Chef.

Also, I am totally going back to using that butter knife on food without cleaning it first.

Edit: I notice we have a small meal now. Does that mean I'm already done with cooking? If so, I clean the corpse.

3 food ingredients make up a small meal, which can be eaten by one survivor. It provides more nourishment than a snack. We have 5 food ingredients left, so you can continue cooking if you want to. You'll just end up making one more meal, that's all.

Fuck y'all I'm playing Solitaire!

Alright. Since we already have meal, I'll go ahead and clean the corpse. We'll worry about more food later.

Also I'll take three successful scouting missions for mere minor contusions. I'm fucking Glenning it!

Oooh, this looks fun like fun. Now Imma stalk this thread in anticipation of Round Two.

There's no furniture to throw in your bedroom!

Huh. I'll go searching again then!

Sorry! When I start up my save, the "idling" actions are all cancelled, so Andrew isn't playing Solitaire anymore. I'll go with your previous order instead.

CSL ordered Andrew to watch.
Ozzo ordered Mary to search.
Snark ordered Snark to clean the corpse.
Vide and Oscar are still trying to breach the shop.



Hooooo boy.



We now have four injured survivors. Great job, people. Currently, we have three people, Snark, Vide, and Mary, who have a -1 Weaker modifier.

Also, the house has been 100% searched, and there's absolutely nothing of use in it. Yaaay.



Supplies for the store. The bandage can be used to treat Oscar's lacerations, but contusions will need painkillers and Mary's broken left arm still needs a splint. I strongly recommend that you assign multiple people to search the store, specifically targeting medical supplies (Remember from the first update? It's an options to target a specific type of item, which means you'll find that kind of item faster with the downside of finding all other kinds of items slower.)

There IS one thing, though, that I want to commend you all for.



When hate-pairs are in a building together, they might start trying to kill each other, as Oscar and Mary have so kindly demonstrated for us. Your orders broke both the Oscar/Mary and Vide/Snark hate-pairs up, which means that in addition to not trying to kill each other, their relationship will very, very slowly improve over time if they're in separate buildings. However, breaking the team up also has its downfalls, for example, not being able to get a relationship boost for the whole group when you discover a clue, and getting injured or dying because you sent only two people to take on a horde of zombies.

Anyway, you know the drill. Actions in, people!

So Snark has taken down three zombies so far? Huh. And all with a butter knife, too.

SNARK FUCK YOU AND YOUR SCOUTING SKILLS YOU SAID THERE WAS ONE GODDAMN ZOMBIE IN THERE NOT SIX.

I'll start searching for medical supplies, then.

Edit: and no I don't care the other five zombies were hidden in the store room.

I ... I think we should move to the store. They keep coming to play, and we're out of toys!

Ooops, did I forget to mention?



Survivors are human too! All they can do is look through the windows and count the zombies that are visible from there. Therefore, investigation reports will always underestimate the number of zombies present in a building, and since the number of zombies slowly increase over time, the longer you wait between an investigation and a breach, the less accurate the numbers in your investigation report. This is exacerbated if you have a poor investigation stat too. What, did you think Snark was a magical scanner device or something? :D

Oh, and Ozzo's right. You should seriously think about leaving the house. Remember how Andrew made a racket when coming back to the house? That basically has the same effect as "creating a distraction", which lures zombies TOWARDS the source of the noise.

I figured that but I'm still going to be pissy about it because that's just ridiculously wrong. Plus if everyone else is going to roleplay I might as well roleplay hating him.

That was actually a pretty good example of what you can expect of the accuracy of investigation reports, haha! Especially since this building doesn't have a lot of windows and doors to look through.

Ozzy's roleplay just... puts me somewhere in between of cracking up with laughter and being creeped out. But mostly the former.

I will use the bandage now. Then we can search for two painkillers in the store. We can't have victory without the bonds of our friends.

People go to the store.

Foolish fool! You should never have trusted me! MuaHahahahaha!

Also, I too suggest we set up a temporary base at the store. It has few points of entry, so it should be easier to defend. Also, I'm tired of killing shit with a butter knife.

Who is the best at cleaning by the way? Six zombie corpses do not a pleasant safehouse make.

((One more thing, if I treat Vide's injuries, will that make us hate each other less or just make me try put rat poison in her medicine?))

The only medicine we have is a bandage. I can heal myself now but Snark and Vide will have to wait until we find painkillers.

Read that diary entry again. I'm the one with the gun.

You can't treat me until we find some painkillers.

Why is there no 'stop being a bitch over some minor bruising' option?

No! Without me, no one will know how to tell someone to swallow painkillers! You'll kill us all!

Fair enough, but I presume that characters will like each other more if one helps the other. Which will be good as I need my army to be ready for my final battle with Vide

Fine. Idiot.

Looking back, nope, Mary and I still have the same relationship, same with you and Mary, despite you patching her up and my attempts to. So it doesn't help at all.

Eh, did you say a army? Even if you have everyone on your team I will still have a few cards up my sleeve.

By the way, is it better for the rest of the group to migrate to the store one by one or as a group? I'm a little worried about a repeat situation where zombies follow us home and I bravely save everyone with my Butterknife of Legend.

Everyone needs to leave the house now. The noise attracted nearby zombies. I think either you or Mary could investigate a different area while the rest of the group barricade the shop. When the shop is secured then we can cook a large meal.

Good question! Here are the stats for the newly unlocked actions.

Clean up corpses.

Oscar 5
Vide 5
Snark 5
Andrew 3
Mary 3

Treat an injured survivor.

Snark 5
Vide 1
Oscar 1
Andrew 1
Mary 1

Prepare a meal.
Oscar 5
Snark 4
Vide 3
Andrew 2
Mary 2

I'll add those to the first update.

Vide is right, it has no effect.
If survivors work TOGETHER on a project that, that might help their relationship, especially if they're both really good at a task. (It might also hurt their relationship if one or more of them are bad at the task, or if they both already hate each other.)

Generally speaking, it's always safer for people to move about in groups than by themselves.

All right! Time to tell you how cooking a large meal works.

You need 25 ingredients in order to cook a large meal. If it's between 6pm and 6am, and all survivors are at the same location, you can choose the action "Hold a feast", which will create a ton of noise at the location but also raise all your survivors' relationships to the max. Generally speaking, if you're not planning to do that, it's better just to cook a lot of small meals than one large meal, just because the latter takes up a lot of time and ingredients, and your survivors won't even touch it unless they're starving and they don't have anything else to eat.

Let's talk about starvation as well, while we're at it! As of the latest patch, you can no longer die from starvation. If you're hungry, however, you'll suffer from negative stat modifiers.

Ahahahaha the noise is a huuuuge problem, but hey, everybody will wuv each other forever! Surely that's worth something? :D (No seriously, relationships are really important to succeeding in this game.)

Also, I added survivor stats for cooking to the post above, forgot to put it in earlier.

(Ana, must we breach the store in order to transfer?)

Not worth being eaten. At all.

I don't see why you would? Oscar and I already took it over.

Edit:

FUCK. I am so going to die.

Yup! Whenever you want to move INSIDE a building, whether it has been cleared or not, you choose the "breach" action. If there are people already inside, they'll automatically let you in, so you don't need to worry about finding an entrance and breaking in.

Good point. Alright I'll head to the shop. If we find medical supplies, I can immediately begin work on patching us up.

Perhaps Mary and Andrew could do some scouting? We need tools to barricade and fort ourselves, so perhaps one of them could check out the nearby factory.

Also, could we get a building report on the shop? And how much furniture is in there? We need to make sure there's enough to barricade the place properly.

I'll wait for Snark to help heal my cuts. Then I'll get rid of the corpses in the shop in this turn. What is all the negative affects with the corpses in the house?

(Would I need to breach before investigating? I wouldn't want Mary to go scout a warehouse only to wander back to our now overrun ramshackle house).

Could you conceivably hold a feast in one (expendable) location and then split from it before the zombies come? I'm not sure if making a lot of noise means the zombies come immediately or if it means they'll come in the next hour or so. Judging from the fact that previous instances of making noise immediately drew zombies, I'm guessing they come immediately but if they don't, it might be a really good strategy for making everyone friendly with each other.

Here you go!

(Thanks! Just a question, how much is 22 furniture in the context of this game? Is it enough, or do we have to visit the local Ikea?)

(Meals will spoil, but other than that, it's a secret <3)

Yup, that's would you need to do. If you start an investigation from your house, you'll go back to your house.

That's certainly a feasible plan. :D One thing to note is that if you make noise in one location (especially if it's really loud, like a bonfire), the zombies will be drawn to your general location, not just that one building, so even the neighbouring buildings might not be all that safe. You'd need to run further away. But yeah, that's not too much different than creating a distraction in a location and then running the heck away before too many zombies come.

Hmm, how many barricades you can get from a piece of furniture depends on the furniture in question, but yeah, 22 furniture is more than enough to barricade 5 measly entrances. :D Again, if you want me to start trashing items, I can totally do that, and you might get barricades from them too. :)

Oof! My arm doesn't feel so good anymore. I wonder if the store has anything to patch me up...?
