Hey guys!
So we were playing around with the idea of Surprise!Zombies in our Zombieverse threads. We were hoping it'd add an element of fun in a very promising universe.
Essentially, any thread in the Zombie Apocalypse forum (unless otherwise stated in the TITLE of the thread via the abbreviation NSZ) is applicable for having an NPC zombie pop up and post without warning. The NPC zombie(s) will address those currently in the thread and attack/act appropriately. However, the NPC zombie will not post continuously and after a few posts, the NPC account will provide a rather open-ended reply and their fate is ENTIRELY up to the RPers. They are there just to set the stage and to keep things interesting, after all.
Of course, if the NPC Zombie gets a little too carried away, don't hesitate to tell the mods or leave an OOC comment in your post saying something like "Yo--kinda wanna just continue with the thread now; no more SZ for now please, thanks!" We don't want to hinder your plots and such after all!
For a short example:
Ludwig and Alfred are in an old abandoned building searching for supplies.
- NPC zombie account posts and may see them (or may simply be walking along, paying them no mind at all.)
Ludwig and Alfred choose to confront the zombie and a fight ensues. They don't want to risk it.
- NPC Zombie wasn't actually alone so five more are attracted by the sound of the scuffle. NPC reactions to continue small fight and then leave the RPs to decide what happens next with the zombies ( alternatively NPC-Player post exchanges may go on for a few more turns depending on the situation).
Ludwig and Alfred react to the NPC actions and fight ends. They can choose to go about their previous mission or pursue a new course depending on injuries, etc.
