Yes, it counts as a win for you. I never told you because you weren't allowed to. I let you make one RP post, that's it. I suspect he was playing to his Win Con which is what I would expect everyone to do. Those that go against their own win con throw off the balance of a game and while one or two doing so isn't that big, 5-6 can be a huge shift.

Day 8: Safe at last (Aftermath) Manny and Gustavus made a break for it as soon as they saw the bridge. Quickly but carefully crossing the rope bridge they went and as soon as they were on the other side did they begin to cut away at the ropes. Several Zombies tried to chase them across but just as they were about to reach the other side, the ropes gave way and four of the plunged into the gorge below, very likely to their undeath. Manny and Gustavus were treated as heroes when they made it to the camp for there hadn't been any new arrivals for some time. And when it was revealed that Gustavus himself was Immune to the Zombie virus, a fact he himself didn't know, the entire camp threw the biggest party they possibly could for now they had a shot at reclaiming their world instead of huddling down and hoping the Zombies would die off on their own. Refugees win! And you all thought the Zombies were OP. The game is over thanks to the quick thinking of Maill and Straw. Both placed orders to cross the bridge and then destroy it. Not a single Zombie thought to cross the bridge before it was destroyed. More thoughts to come later on how I felt the game went. Needless to say, there are a few things that would be changed. Docs: (please ignore how disorganized they are. It makes sense to me.) The Zombie Horde Master SS Rules and Mechanics Player List:

Event, Cycle and Game is over! The bridge was cut down and the refugees have made it to safety. Aftermath coming soon.

5. Half the number of 'living' players rounded down. PMed votes which I'm not counting at moment but in case of tie...

So that's 4 to save, 1-3 to let fall and 1 gibberish (by Rath). We have yet to reach the minimum to save the bridge so in 30 minutes, if nothing changes, the bridge will fall.

I posted at 11:13am my time that it has less than four hours. That means that 3pm my time, in 37 minutes is the deadline.

One hour left to save the bridge for as things stand, it will be destroyed.

Midcycle Event activated! Someone is attempting to destroy the bridge! Players have just under 4 hours to decide what to do. Stop the bridge being destroyed or Let the bridge fall into the gorge. @Mailliw73 @Straw @Kidpen @Elandera @Rathmaskal @Devotary of Spontaneity @Ventyl @Butt Ad Venture @Sart @xinoehp512 @Snipexe

Day 7: The Final Chapter Our foot weary refugees plodded along, numbers dwindling as the Horde of Zombies snapped at their heels. The journey had been long and it’s toll high but finally, after so much pain and suffering, the refugees arrived at the last leg of their travels. A deep gorge spanned the length of the land with no way around and only one way over. A rope bridge. And standing in front of the bridge was Manny. He looked up startled as the final two surviving refugees emerged from the trees covered in soot and grime, exhaustion written across their faces. Even as Manny watched, the journey took its toll on A. Pear O’Scissors. A. Pear O’Scissors collapsed to the ground his strength finally spent. Unable to muster even a cry of pain as the Zombies that had hounded them their entire trek started to feed on him. No one was lynched Snipexe - A. Pear O’Scissors is now a Zombie!Doctor. Mailliw73 - Manny Darovious has reappeared. This final cycle will last 24 hours! Revealed Role: Doctor: Your years in med school and E.R. training have not gone to waste. Once per day you can choose to protect another from being attacked. Important Information: Terrain: A Large Gorge with a single rope bridge across it. Weather: Cloudy Wind: A gentle southern breeze Wildlife: None Areas of Interest: You can see the safe haven across the gorge. The gorge is very deep and it's sides are sheer. Player List:

Cycle is over! New and final cycle will be up momentarily.

A player has used their Action to scout the following areas of Interest. Several abandoned cars and one semi truck sit rusting by the road. Their gas caps removed and the petrol has been siphoned. Orange traffic cones line one side of the road.

Day 6: MIA There weren’t many things Lachlan McZombie hated in life. But he had a list of the 4 things that he did hate, though. First, he hated counting. Which was exacerbated by the fact that he was now actually a zombie and couldn’t count as well. It simply frustrated him to know end. Third, he hated working with others. Which is ironic, considering that he was willing to help lure the zombies to get them exploded. He even was trying to help the group by exploring the lab, but what did he get in return? A whole face-full of zomchillas. And fourthly, he used to hate zombies. Now that he is one, that’s kind of unfortunate. So, Lachlan decided to change his fifth hate. Fifth, Lachlan now hates not being able to eat human brains. So……….BRAINSSSSSS!!!!! Please give it up to Striker for providing the Write up this cycle. No one was lynched Cycle will last 23.5 hours followed by a break for me to do the write up. (Hopefully) Kidpen - Meta Character is now a Zombie! Ventyl - Sean McSean is now a Zombie! Mailliw73 - Manny Darovious has disappeared. Important Information: Terrain: Roadside Weather: Sunny Wind: A gentle Southern breeze Wildlife: Strangely Silent There are no refugees holding Maps. A player can use an action to reveal what possible areas of interest there are. Player List:

And the Turn is over.

There has been one Threnody game run so far by Gamma Fiend way back in our first year. Another would be wonderful to see.

Lachlan McZombie hung his head as the chinchillas approached. His yells for help had fallen on deaf ears. Death came for him is the form of small fluffy bodies. "Well, at least it's better than being killed by a cow." Lachlan's scream of a mix of delight and horror lasted but a moment as the chinchillas descended upon him, muffling it with their wonderfully fuzzy bodies. Lachlan McZombie has died. They were a Refugee. He was two votes short of living. The Laboratory is no longer able to be searched/interacted with.

Less than 20 minutes to decide Strikers fate. As things currently stands, they will die.

Is that an official vote? It needs to be in purple to count.

Once, long ago, Steel was a simple scientist, working with proteins. But then, he made the horrible mistake of adding telomerase to chinchilla cells, creating immortal chinchillas. These immortal chinchillas became overwhelmingly powerful. So, when the zombie outbreak occurred, rather than dying and becoming zombified, the chinchillas were infected and trapped between life and death, unable to die, or even decay like a normal zombie would. And one day, his experiments finally caught up with Steel, and just like Vortaan predicted on Discord, Steel was consumed by his 30 chinchillas, and turned into a zombie. It was an ignoble end to a young life. And now he’s going to end yours. Midcycle Event activated! Someone has explored the lab and discovered Steel and his pack of Zombie Chinchillas. Players have little over 3 hours to decide if they want to attempt to rescue the player who stumbled into the Lab or leave that person to their fate. If enough players vote rescue then the Lab becomes explorable. If left to fate, that player dies and the lab is off limits for any actions. @Mailliw73 @StrikerEZ @Straw @Ventyl @Snipexe @Kidpen @Sart @xinoehp512 @Butt Ad Venture @Devotary of Spontaneity @Elandera @Rathmaskal, what say you?

Fura spectator, yes. Allowed to post, yes. Eat Fura, no.

Day 5: Zombie Inferno The plan was simple but elegant. Lure the Zombies with bait and then burn them all. Sadly for the refugees, plans seldom go as planned. While some of them gathered petrol and set the trap, others ran around trying to get the attention of the zombies. But like with fishing, luring zombies never turns out well for the bait. The trap itself worked like a charm as three zombies were lured in but it did cost. Ian Tiah knew it was going to be a risk but it was a risk he was willing to take for his fellow refugees. He lured those zombies with everything he had, even going so far as to cut his own finger releasing that sweet, sweet blood he knew zombies craved. The petrol soaked house went up in flames and with it almost half of the zombies that had been plaguing their heels for days now. Meanwhile, Andrew Andrewson stalked his prey. He tracked his target down abandoned streets and through dark alleys until finally he found him. Murder Hobo. A dirty smelly Hodo who liked to stab. Well Andrew liked to stab too, only he liked to use his teeth to do the stabbing. Andrew jumped on the Hobo and started to feed only for the Hobo to laugh and pull out his knife and start cutting Andrew up. Now it was Andrews time to laugh, raspy as it was, for he had his own tricks. He knew the refugees wouldn’t feed him like they promised and would try to kill him so he had doused himself in petrol and set up a crude system to ignite if he was attacked. It worked just as he hoped. With his fingers firmly grasping on to his victim, Andrew laughed as both he and the Hobo burnt to death. No one was lynched Everyone dined on an assortment of salvaged food Cycle will last 23 hours followed by a break for me to put out the fire do the write up. Elandera - Kyler O'Malley is now a Zombie! xinoehp512 - Dr. Eibmoz is now a Zombie! Kidpen - Meta Character is now a Zombie! Cadmium Compounder - Andrew Andrewson has died. They were a Zombie Ax's Boyfriend - Murder Hobo has died. They were a Retired Serial Killer Fifth Scholar - Friedrich has died. They were a Zombie Coop772 - Anonymous Refugee #1 has died.

It appears to have once been a laboratory There is a children's playground to one side of the laboratory There are a couple of treehouses Revealed Roles: Retired Serial Killer: (Passive) Before the Zombie apocalypse you were a Serial Killer. You have found your skills to be of great use surviving this new world. If you are attacked, you will automatically fight off your attacker. If it is just one attacker, you will kill them. If there are two attackers you will simply survive. If there are three or more, the numbers will overwhelm you. Blood type O Neg : (Passive) You have the rare blood type O Negative. This blood is prized above all others for being able to be given to anyone. It turns out that it is also the sweetest of all blood. If a player that is either above or below you on the player list is attacked by a Zombie, there is a 50% chance the Zombie will smell your blood and go after you instead. Player List:

Cycle is Over. This will be interesting to say the least.

A player has used their Action to scout the following areas of Interest. A small veterinary clinic lies down a dead end street A petrol station and garage is on the main street A corner dairy can be seen. It appears to have already been looted There are several abandoned houses here

Day 4 : 4+4=Horde The Day grew long and the discussion only seemed to be heating up on not only what to do with the Zombies that only seem to be growing in number but also how to deal with the farmer that might have supplies the refugees sorely needed. It was Ian Tiah, Leon and Meta Character that made the first move. They laid aside their weapons and slowly walked towards the farmhouse with their hands raised to show they were no threat. The farmer opened his door and cautiously stepped out, a little girl clinging to his legs in fright. “Stop right there. I don’t want no trouble but if you’re thinking of stealing from me I’ll do to you what I did to the last group.” the farmer growled while indicating towards the graves with his shotgun. “Good sir,” Ian started, “We are foot weary travelers heading east and are hoping you have some food you could spare, perhaps a chicken or two?” “Or if you wish,” Leon pipped in, “You can come with us. We don’t have much but we do look out for each other and surely it’s safer on the move than staying here. “If it’s the Zombies we are traveling with…” Meta started. At the word Zombies the little girl let out a piercing scream and bolted back into the farmhouse. The farmers face paled and he raised his shotgun once more pointed directly at the group. “You travel with those monsters!” he demanded. “Get off my land this instance! I want nothing to do with you and you will get nothing from me!” With that he slammed the door shut and a large thunk could be heard as he lowered a heavy wooden bar behind the door. Meanwhile Butt Venture the Second was slowly leading the Zombies towards the farmhouse with promises of brains inside. When the farmer bolted his door the Zombies realised that they weren’t getting the brains they were promised and now with their hunger stoked, they turned to the refugees for what they needed. Butt Venture the Second was the first to fall but not the last. Once they had stated their hunger, the Zombies numbers had doubled. As the now shrunken group of refugees slowly plodded onwards toward their destination, they munched on corn they had gathered from the fields. The sky began to darken and the wind picked up in force. As the wind howled each refugee could swear they heard a voice layered over the wind . “Flesh so fine, so fine to tear, to gnash the skin; skin to strip, to plait, so nice to plait the strips, so nice, so red the drops that fall; blood so red, so red, so sweet; sweet screams, pretty screams, singing screams, scream your song, sing your screams…” No one was lynched Devotary of Spontaneity - Leon is now a Zombie! Butt Ad Venture - Butt Venture the second is now a Zombie! Coop772 - Anonymous Refugee #1 is now a Zombie WeebTrash - Subaru is now a Zombie Everyone dined on cooked corn.
