As the name implies, this is an idea/ suggestions thread for our RP world. This particular thread will cover all discussion about future locations to be visitted in the RP, either via the main plot or simply through exploring. The possibilities here, while limited to moderate realism, are nearly endless, as The Earth is the canvas for our RP. Old castles, labs, military museums, desert caravans, bombed out metropolises... these are all things that might come to mind. Get creative, and share everything and anything that comes to mind!
-Suggest/ Comment on Location ideas here
-Discuss/ Brainstorm with other members about potential Locations
-Post writing/ concept images/ research regarding your event ideas!!
Please be respectful of all members' ideas. Even if you do not feel they are a good idea, or they are not implemented into the RP environment, be kind enough to act civil.
Thank you, and start thinking!

LOL My having no life . . .ness has given me another opportunity to post first! WUUT
Hmm, I have one idea right now.
Some kind of naval craft, overrun by zombies, or otherwise, heading on a collision-course somewhere on land. ((New York, Alaska, etc.))
PLENTY of supplies.
PLENTY of zombies
Thoughts?
Improvements?
Criticism? XD
All welcome.

Well, in regards to any sort of "crash course" location, that is a topic more fitted for the "Events" suggestion thread. However, regarding New York and Alaska...
Alaska, as of this moment, is exceptionally far away from our characters. While I have considered and done research on Alaska for future use, it is currently something that is on the bench, and will not be making an appearance in the near future.
New York (if you mean the city) is something that will be implemented, but is an area that will be considered absolutely insane. Given the population there, New York City will be, in all instances, Infection Level 10. It's one of the few areas that Level 10 was actually specifically tailored for, because of its population density and the utter madness that it would become.
Consider New York City a sort of "Final Area," where our characters may end up later, or perhaps sooner and have no choice to flee given how ill equipped they are.
As good as these ideas are though, you didn't provide much more than location names. How about sites within the areas? Topography? Maps, or any concept imagery you may have? All of these things will provide other members with a greater list of things o nwhich they can comment and discuss.

I realized it was an event after I posted XD but I left it there for the moment only for the fact that the ship would remain, creating an area. A double-whammy.
And CRAP! O,o Yes, my location has many such flaws as topography . . . but I was thinking of something like a small body of water, a lagoon, or a city waterway twisted such as Buffallo's river. BUT so no newbies would stumble in and gain too many supplies, or be immediately eaten XD I would suggest they would need a boat. Something sort-of rare.
But with such a response you have given me, you would consider it a possibility? ^^ ooh

Whether or not a "newbie" tries to enter an area isn't relevant. Location access has very little to do with member experience and everything to do with CHARACTER resources. So even if say, Artemas wanted to reach an island, he'd still need a boat. So yes, the need for certain items might be critical to access a particular location, but that would be a rule that applied to everyone.
I'm afraid I'm a little lost regarding what you mean now, though. Would there be an island or relevant area in the waterway/ lagoon? The shore around a lake itself would be an interesting area to RP, but I'm trying to understand what you're thinking of for these concepts, specifically.

Sorry about the "newbie" thing, you are correct, it isn't relevant.
Maybe I should say:
THE UNPREPARED
that's what I meant.
Ah, specifics, at the moment I have none--but I never do at the start of such setting contemplations.
I go at it a little at a time.
If you would have me create the area (or leave it to you) I could have the specifics down easily, and maybe even quickly! XD Ah, summer.
Is there any specifics you would want, er, specifically? XD
I bet that could easily get my thought process going. (depending of course on whether you want the area or not)

Fort Erie would be logical seeing as how it's the closest military base. They'd be Canadian though.

We don't have a prison yet in Buffalo, no. Though the reason is because a prison in Buffalo would go widely overlooked. With the majority of our characters about to leave/ being given the option to leave Buffalo, and the obvious dangers of a prison, I think the location would be avoided.
There will, however, be a prison coming up shortly. One in the country. High Security ;]

I agree with Greykirby's idea on the ship. It would be an event, and could also become a location afterwards. Even though using a boat would most likely be needed to reach it, and it being filled with undead brings back the memories of a simply horrible Resident Evil 4 rip-off, but alas, this isn't the place for that story.
Now as awesome as a prison would be, it would also be one of the dumbest things to walk into! I would either be filled with a faction of free prisoners that would kill you on sight, [would make a great human vs human battle though] or its going to be filled with endless amounts of undead, level 5, maybe 6, and it would be worse since most prisoners are BUFF! Its a death trap, a interesting location, but anyone going in unprepared, and/or alone, is f-ing SCREWED, which i'm sure you have already for seen, although Bayne, putting a prison on the way out of buffalo, like on the road or something, that isn't obviously inhabited [though it will be], will draw survivors looking for protection to it, but will meet a gruesome death no matter whats in it. Unless of course the guards took it over.
Now for my opinion on a good location. CANADA! YES! A city near the the border of Canada. I have no info on one, or anything like that, because I just thought of it out of the blue, although i'm sure you've already start figuring out a city in Canada, correct?

A prison's safety all depends on who gained power. The guards would most likely leave, to see their families, leaving the prison relatively unguarded, and the prisoners, assuming they had no outside knowledge of what was happening, would most likely soon escape, probably leaving behind some men in their cells, who will starve to death eventually. And that would probably leave the prison empty, save for a few bodies.

Or the starting location of a character that is a convict in that prison. Which is what I was pushing for but KunKun Aero had some good points there. It would be a death trap if infection took place there. Which I did see from that viewpoint, but all in all I'm wanting to bring a character which a bad guy really get's a second chance even in hell. Any ideas where to start if not a prison

DUDE! O,o I think I have a good idea for a zombie location!
And it's infection level 0 even.
You know how the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island was closed off to tourists? What if survivors found their way on the island, and inside? There are SO MANY stairs, the undead would obviously have a lot of trouble if ANY even made it to the island somehow.
It would be a good place I think to set up a good base, for some kind of commerce or something like that. The very top is like an INSANELY AWESOME sniper tower of doom! You could see the entire city, and pick off an infected as you are perfectly safe, lol. Something for Smith to be occupied with as he smokes? Then he can prove his great worth as a marksman. XD
Criticism?
Comments?
Cookies? ^^
