Here is a thread for anything that you still don't quite understand after reading the various stickies around the guild. The first post will contain some already answered questions. If you still are confused, feel free to ask a question here. You can ask both practical questions about the guild (OOC) or questions about roleplaying rules (IC).
OOC:
Q: Why can't I just PM my questions to a Mod?
A: Well you could, but this way you get multiple opinions.
Q: But I can PM them if I want to, right?
A: But of course. Mods love fanmail 3nodding
Q:If players can play as zombies, does that mean that we can't control zombies as NPCs if our own character is not a zombie?
A: No, you can control a pretty large group of shamblers as NPCs. You can also control a few runners, and if you get special permission from a mod, you can control an NPC devient.
IC:
Q: If a character is skilled enough to pull off a headshot, that will kill shamblers, yes?
A: Yes. Just remember the rules on Godmodding.

I think I can help you answer these ^^ but a mod may overturn me for sure.
Q1 Possible Answer smile Your first question is about NPC's, and yes, you can describe however many or however like, or however where, when, why, the zombies should be. If you need more info on that, look at the rules for NPC's on the forum page, bottom by the announcements.
Q2 Possible Answer smile Yes XD that is one of the ways to kill a plain zombie-or shambler- ((I am right, right? XD a normal zombie is a shambler?)) but you don't wanna over-do it of course without a logical reason. It must adhere to perfect realism.

So does this mean that player zombies are never shamblers?
(I've read the NPC thread before posting this thread. Doesn't talk about Zombies, really.)
And yeah, I know. None of my characters are skilled enough to pull of many (if any) headshots. I was just making sure.

Totro,
The format for making a zombie character allows a person to choose whether or not they have the ability to run as one of their abilities. Though in hindsight, it seems practically everyone would want the ability as not having it makes them a sitting duck for head shots. Given that realization, I will be updating the ruleset so that the ability to run comes standard, but is also optional)
It dawns on me that The NPC rules thread does not cover the number/ magnitude of zombie NPC control a player has in a thread. I will go back and revise them accordingly. Basically, you can control a relatively hefty number of shamblers, but only a small handful of runners. NPC Deviants may only be made and controlled by moderators, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Of course, this doesn't mean that regular players can't. If they express interest in involving an NPC deviant in a certain event/ thread, John, myself, or Drag (whenever he gets back =/) may clear the idea, discuss it, and decide where to go from there.
Hopefully that clears stuff up razz

Coolness ^^ your forum is a great success Totro, congratz, and I can only hope I helped in the slightest! XD And now I figured out for sure that shamblers are norms! o-o yay
It will be good once we get an at least half-official . . . ^^ ooh, Bayne, ((sorry if this is a bit off-topic)) are you going to make a forum, or something in the RP lore about the official kinds of zombies? Specifically the ones that are always active besides the deviants . . . ?

Yes Kirby, I am.
Currently working on elaborating on the NPC thread. From there, I will be making the Basic Zombie Types thread, and then the "What We Know..." thread, which will basically detail what is "Common Knowledge" about the Infection.
And re-stickied, with a slight edit in the first post ;]
