It was never a wasteland. It's a city :/
GIVE ME YOUR FACEStill nobody there except us and mobs.
Yeah, it's interesting - and I'm sticking around - in any case, but a survival situation isn't what I signed up for. (It's also kinda halfway between, which is also not working, because we can't just chill out and mess around, but there's also no clear threat to be fighting/working against, and no obvious resource limits.)
But really, if we want to make the roleplay evolve, the solution isn't to quit, it's to discuss it here and/or keep playing and advance/evolve the plot IC. Syme already said he intended for the setting to be able to "warp"/transform (not his words, but... that was the concept) so...

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."Well, I'm not too attached to the zombies idea, so feel free to throw things out there.
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.Well, we could either reveal the mastermind behind the zombies, or just have them stop appearing. The "damage" is "done" in some ways, though, because "we're" already treating it as a survival situation IC...
If we want to get rid of the "wasteland" effect, we could start having NPCs spawning, which could also have the added effect of allowing them to exposit about the setting (and explain how it's not an apocalypse)... of course, that doesn't help if we ourselves don't know the setting details OOC.
If we wanted to extend the "land of mystery/change" feel, we could start having stuff that's weird - but not threatening - happen...

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."I'm ok with any kind of scenario, as long people still play.
Also I'd like to point out that I already created the "Dr. Brea's Books" sub plot, so maybe we can somehow connect it to the zombie thing to make the two end in a way.
Announcement
First of all, there will be a setting change. Feel free to suggest an area, and please provide a map.
Second, there will be a Reset Button that will remove the zombies.
And, last of all, this roleplay shall be necroed.
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.And maybe with the map change we should also establish some base rules on how the setting should operate (which will also determine how much of a "survival situation" we're in).
Do we have "magical" utilities (assuming a city or suburban setting)? Are there respawning sources of food? What is its history, or does it have none? (And continuing with the latter, what should happen if we try to access historical records like newspapers?)
Is the new setting also gonna be a "wasteland", or will we finally get NPCs? How will they treat us, what will our origin be from their point of view? Will this impede our ability to claim whatever the hell we want? Will they be selling or otherwise providing us stuff, and how will we pay?
Also, how combat-centric do you intend this roleplay to be? And if not very, then how else will we spend our time?

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."Yeah, I still want to know if it's ok to continue my dungeon thing I started...
Old habits die hard, especially when no one else lets them die either.-Archive binging the earlier discussion pages-
-missing the days before zombies, and the hopes I had for this game-
...You know, I actually like the idea of dungeons a whole lot more than the zombies thing. Then presumably the bad stuff will stay down there, so those who want it can go get it, while the rest of us don't have to live in an atmosphere of paranoia and fear for our survival and can mess around with our powers/new forms or whatever else.
And now I really am going to sleep. Goodnight y'all! I'm free all day tomorrow, so... let's see if we can save revive this game!
Also, my temptation is growing to just ditch my powers arc and either make myself a half-ghost or outright make myself Danny Phantom.
Hm, that would also allow me to stop fearing for my life in-character and ditch my Serious Business attitude, since I would be confident in my own ability to survive if I had phasing... hm...

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."I personally am for a dungeoncrawl style adventuresetting.
Given my current state, it'd be nice to have at least some sci-fi elements, so I could get repairs or something.
Well, perhaps there could be dungeons/areas we discover could be based on different genres? Like the one I'm doing is kinda old school RPG-ish, I suppose.
Old habits die hard, especially when no one else lets them die either.Makes sense.
I for one kinda like the idea of a world where magic and science coexist.
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.Yeah, I'm with Engie on that, but that doesn't really answer any of my above questions and stuff...
"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."Well, I would thin Syme would have the final say on that more or less...
Old habits die hard, especially when no one else lets them die either.A new beginning. A new start. We shall rise again.
A reboot will be coming soon.
To clear up some confusion, plots will be disabled for quite a while until at least some of the characters who have appeared have developed enough. Then, the plotlines can be begin.

I am out anyways if the environment remains a wasteland.
