The Rules
Gameplay
Zombie Crisis is a survival horror game. In the game Zombies have been let loose on a small community town, and slowly devouring the residents and taking over the town. Unfortunately these Zombies are not the typical Zombies. They are smart, can communicate and can organize. This has brought the survivors into a paranoid state, for it is nearly impossible to tell the Zombies from regular people. For decomposition stops once reanimation occurs.
Players of Mafia will be right at home in this game, possibly. This is a game based on Mafia but with some changes in the rules that give it an entirely different flavor. First off the goal of the game is slightly different. In Mafia the object is to win by eliminating others. Some roles in this game have that goal, but the object is to survive for 10 days while different factions of players eliminate each other.
This game doesnt need a vote system, most of this will be handled by Private messages and whatever means players can communicate with each other. Daily A list of events will be released.
To Win
There are multiple factions in the game, every faction has the ability to recruit members. The winning group is determined by the group with the most players in it. It is possible to go from group to group to group. When the time limit is up the biggest group wins.
The Groups
Survivors
The Survivors to win must simply Survive
Killers
When society crumbles and anarchy overcomes a society, people take actions into their own hands. These killers are not evil, but are just trying to protect themselves. As such they will kill anyone that threatens them. They can also protect themselves from Zombie attacks just as the Cops. Killers have the same rules as cops when being attacked. If a killer chose one of the Zombies that is attacking him as its target it will kill him and another Zombie attacking him and escape. They do not work together.
Cops
Cops are special survivors that are trying to uphold the law. They are available to serve and PROTECT the people. As such they can defend single humans from attacks...but defending a Zombie can lead to death. Cops are restricted to only protecting people, because it is too risky to just kill randomly and hope they are Zombies. Cops can also protect themselves from Zombie attacks. When they are attacked by a Zombie the Zombie is automatically killed. However, they can be overrun by several Zombies. They can kill the Necromancer though.
Scientists
Are trying to cure all Zombies. If Zombie infection is completely cured then Scientists win. Scientists can do research on people to discover if they are a Zombie. They know who all the other Scientists are, and can choose to share information with people or not. Basically like the Mafia.
Mad Scientist
His is a special Scientist Role whom believes that Mankind is not destined to survive the next evolution. He looks at the Zombies and believes that they are the next step in superior life. He can do everything the Scientist can do except, he can also turn people into Zombies. The Mad Scientist's alligence is to the Zombies and Necromancer. The Mad Scientist can infect one person per day. The Mad Scientist and the Necromancer are good friends. They know each other quite well. On the 5th day he can choose an apprentice either a Scientist, or a regular Survivor. To infect someone there is three coin-flips. All players at the beginning of the game will be asked at the beginning of the game whateher they are heads or tails. You cant change your type.
000 not infected 001 not infected 010 not infected 100 not infected
011 infected 110 infected 111 infected(super zombie) 101 infected
The mad sicentist can be zombified, but infection has an incubation period of one day. After that day has passed that person is a Zombie. If he is cured by a scientist he once again becomes mad scientist.
also the Mad scientist can create 2 super zombies, however, only on the 4th and 8th day.
Necromancer
The Necromancer gets a list of players who have died, he can then take that list and revive them as zombies. The Necromancer after 5 days can choose an apprentice. Either a mad scientist, or a Survivor. Whether they are revived or not is determined by 1 coinflip. If the necromancer dies the Mad Scientist can become the Necromancer. If the Mad Scientist doesn't take his role then all Zombies that were created by dead humans (IE turned by the Necromancer) immediately die. If the Mad Scientist becomes a Necromancer another Mad Scientist will be created, and the new Necromancer will remain secret.
The necromancer is the one role that cannot be zombified
The Necromancer gets a list of all Zombies and can coordinate attacks with them. The Necromancer also gets the ability to turn dead humans into Zombies, but this is a 50/50 chance, and if it fails to succeed the first try that human is perminantly dead.
Zombies
Zombies start off as one, but as time progresses they get exponentially more powerful. Unlike the Scientist if a zombie infects somebody they automatically become zombies. Infection is determined by Rochambeau(Swords-Axes-Lances)(aka Jenken, paper rock scissors if youve never played fire emblem) Players will be informed that they are attacked. The zombie will chose a sign, if it beats the player, the player will be zombified, if it doesnt the player is safe.
a super zombie can infect up to two people, but super zombie-ism only lasts 1 day.
The Saint
every 2 days the Saint performs a miracle. He can choose to cure a person of zombism, or ressurect one dead player as a human by coinflip.
Daily CoinFlip
Each day you will be given the chance to earn some money.
Everyone starts off with $50 its takes $200 to earn a weapon(of the gamemasters choice)
Simply say Heads or Tales, and within your money range bet an amount. If you reach $200 you earn
a weapon. If a weapon is earned then the gamemaster will do a coinflip. Depending on this coinflip he will determine if this weapon is a one time thing or a full time thing.
Necromancers, Mad Scientists, and Zombies. No matter what get their weapons as a one time use. A zombie gets to become super zombie for a day.
Survivors with a full time weapon can either become a cop or killer...a coin flip determines this. Cops will be notified if this happens.
Survivors can also trade money and weapons with each other...even switching roles. A Cop can give a Survivor a gun and his role for $200. Or Somebody could give someone else $100.00 for the one time use weapon while that person gets closer to earning another weapon.
Also, how if you kill a zombie and they have money it becomes yours
for instance say
ManuelJohnson (who has 150)
Heads 25
Adrianchavez (who has 50)
Tails 25
if the gamemaster flips a coin and its tails here is the outcome
ManuelJohnson (125)
Adrianchavez (75)
if the gamemaster flips a coin and its heads here is the outcome
ManuelJohnson (175)
Adrianchavez (25)
so you can screw yourself, by being shrewd with your bets you can win lots of money. If your poor then no. Also lets implement a lottery. For bet of $1 and a number 1 through 10 you can earn $10
For the amount of $50 you can try to win the lost bet pool
the dead
Dead Zombies or People should not PM any remaining people playing the game, and should remain inactive according to the game unless they are resurrected by the Necromancer.
Then they can choose to reveal that they are still in the game or not. This allows dead people to remain a mystery player in the game. However, it will be noted in the game if a dead person was raised from the dead into a Zombie.
if anything comes up we may make some rule changes, but it looka like the game is all set up.

20 people would be great. The more the people the better this will go. Specially if we get to the point of 10 survivors and 10 Zombies. EEK!!!

We would start with 2 Zombies, 2 Cop, 1 Killer, 1 Scientist, 1 Mad Scientist, 1 Saint, 1 Necromancer...is that everybody?
10 survivors...or what the Zombies like to call FOOD!!!
This game could end very quickly with such a small group.
With 30 people I would think I would add another Scientist and Killer, with perhaps one more Zombie, leaving 17 Survivors as snacks.

I think I had first heard about the book about a year ago. It was always my intention to pick-up a copy, but over time had completely forgotten about it. The other day, I was in Barnes & Noble (to buy the WWE book 'Controversy Creates Ca$h' by Eric Bischoff) when I saw a large display featuring the "Zombie Survival Guide". I figure they were trying to push sales for Halloween. I also picked-up the follow-up World War Z: An Oral History Of The Zombie War which was written by the same author, Max Brooks (Mel Brooks' son, BTW), as the "Survival Guide".
Once I finish reading through the demise of WCW and the WWE aftermath, I'll begin the "Zombie Survival Guide", which is sure to be a very fun read.

The Story will focus on survivors and Zombie kills and such. So the story will tell if a Zombie was killed, a human murdered or what not...and will list the number of Zombies now present in the game, and list the number of survivors and special people.
Daily community. Each day there is a coin toss to earn money...it occurs at the end of the day, so people can post their coin predictions and wagers each day. Trading of weapons, and money can occur daily to. In PMs or not. Even Cop and Killer Roles can be traded in this manner...you must inform the game master and both people must give consent before that happens...but it is doable.
The game actually doesn't take much time at all...in fact it should be less time consuming than Mafia.

Do we earn extra money for every day we are alive, outside of our betting?
If not, what happens when we run out of money?

Post by: ThePerm on October 24, 2006, 11:44:11 AM
you can then bet it daily. Say you have $50 in your pocket and you bet $20. If you win, the amount you bet doubles. Giving you $70. if you lose you would only have $30.
there are two lottos
$50 lotto
if you put $50 on the $50 lotto and win you win the betting pool. If you lose, then it gets put in the pool for the next day. Pick a number 1-10
$1 lotto
bet $1, if you win you get $10, if you lose it goes in the pool for the next day
Pick a number 1-10
when youv'e earned enough money you can get a weapon, but a coinflip determines whether or not you can use it once or everyday. Also if you are a survivor, and you get a permanent weapon a coinflip will determine if you become a cop or killer.
If you are a zombie and you get a weapon, then you become a super zombie.
i'll get back to you on other things.
Also, i already mentioned this to the Saint. The saint cannot kill. If he wins he pays for a weapon. Its a weapon that cures people(or brings them back to life). He can only cure people every two days, but if he gets a cure weapon that day he can cure.
you can trade money, but the person with the money has to alert me before i transfer it into their account.

Your best bet is not betting if your afraid of losing imaginary money, then again a
dollar a day could get you 10.
also for all roles that kill, the person you kill leaves you money.
this is the first game, im sure there flaws. We will iron them out however.
