_~_~Pinglist_~_~

^{_________________________________________________________________________________}

What is a Pinglist?
Pinglists are where people sign up to be pinged (a special notification addressing you only that stands out amongst other notifications) once there is an announcement or a newly posted forum up that people wouldn't want to miss in particular.

Why should I sign up?
It would be a good idea to have people sign up for such a list so that they can be notified when important progress is made, and not just rely on the notifications they get from subscribing to this forum. Also, it limits the amount of spam you get from subscriptions so your notifications aren't flooded up with useless meme chatter that you don't want.

Can I be on the pinglist instead of subscribing then?
Subscribing to the forum will still be necessary to participate so you don't miss out on revivals such as these, but if you would rather have pings for big announcements instead of having to subscribe to all forums, that works too. One or the other, or even both will suffice, but you must have at least one!

Which ones do you suggest I sign up for?
I suggest you sign up for the General Pinglist and the Roleplay pinglist. Then I suggest you subscribe to the IC forum and the World Status forum so you can keep up with the actual roleplay and not just the memes in the OOC chat. This way you get pings for what you will most definitely need, and the notifications for the things happening In Character so you don't miss an interaction (IC) or miss out on an in game update (World Status).

How does the list work? Is this form link safe to click on?
What do I look like to you? A hacker? A surfer of the dark web?! ABSURD! (Just because my lair is about assassins that doesn't mean I'm here to virtually steal the password to your Candy Crush account! I don't even know what a Candy Crush account is! >:0 )
This pinglist Form will put your answers and other required information into a spreadsheet where I can pull your names from and ping you whenever there is a big announcement or a change of pace. No one else will see your information but me and whatever admins I am able to share it with so they too can make announcement.
If this goes well and people enjoy the system, I might make pinglists for other announcements, such as Mod applications and roleplay events. So we'll see how this goes!

Can I remove myself from the list? How?
Yes! You will be able to remove yourself. I'm slightly new to the pinglist + google form = a working pinglist idea so I'm still figuring out how to utilize my tools. Which means there might be changes to how this is set up and run.
FOR NOW, all you have to do is ping either me or the admins and ask to be removed from the list. Your name will be removed from the list until you apply again. To ping one of us, just copy-paste our username and then put an @ symbol right before them. Be careful! Pings are capital sensitive!

_~_~Pinglists Available_~_~

General Pinglist
This pinglist is for general updates on the development of the roleplay and forums. There may be a few other pings mixed into it, but it is mainly for updates I find to be important for the roleplayers to know as these pings are essential for the future. There may be another form with the ping asking if people have read the announcement if this roleplay becomes big enough for it to be required.

Roleplay Pinglist
This pinglist will probably be the one least used, but are good to have in case a really big in game event is happening. Pings regarding this list will be for special events happening in game, big World Status events, polls for generalized roleplay decisions (starting over or continuing? ; prepared for big time skips ; what do you want to see happen ; have any suggestions? ; etc.), and really anything else we see fit to match this category. This will be more up to what the players demand be announced when this ping is used, so if you have any suggestions or want something new to happen with this list, leave said suggestions here in this form.

The Beginning of an Era pinglist

This is the pinglist for when everything is set up and every forum is functionally sound. This will be reposted in the new and functional OOC chat when it is time to ping those who have participated before but didn't return immediately.

^{_________________________________________________________________________________}
Please make sure you have the appropriate subscriptions and pinglists done before continuing. If there are new ping lists being set up either through suggestion or necessity, I will send out a ping saying to find it on this post here and explaining why you should apply.

Acacia sat at her desk, glaring at all the reports, saying the camp was in need. Supplies was the only thing she didn't have to give. She had poured in money, time, and dragons to create this camp, but she wouldn't let that stop her from continuing to run the camp. She looked to the map on the wall and glared at the Ashfall Waste.
"One more try," she thought to herself, "Will give this one more try..."
"DARKSCORE!" she shouted to the dragons outside her camp, "Get in here!"
The giant, black guardian thundered in, his giant feet making the earth quake, despite his leisurely walk.
"Yes Acacia?" he asked as he stepped inside, waiting for a command.
"Suit up your men and get Skybender to pick out her troops again. Were going for another supply run," she ordered, grabbing her spear and walking out the tent and past him. She threw open the tent flaps and looked back at him, already geared up, "And this time, I'm coming with you. Send a courier dragon to Brambles. He's in charge of the camp while I'm gone."
And with that she stormed off into the darkness of twilight, ready to rally her troops, with only one thought on her mind.
"It's going to be another rough night..."

_~_~Admins_~_~
Admins are able to play NPCs for camp leaders, approve characters that have no certain requests, welcome and help newcomers, interact with newcomers or those who seem left out, and help around the creation of locations and story.

Please treat our admins with the utmost respect.
They have taken their time to dedicate themselves to this roleplay, and I couldn't have made this happen without their sacrifices. If I find my admin are being disrespected, there will be unwritten consequences involved. Do no harass or spam an admin if they do not do something you like. If you have a problem with someone abusing their power, come to me directly or another admin. Just know it is most likely that I have asked them to become admins and have already made sure to get to know them first, so please understand most of them are here because I felt they would be perfect for the role and are friendly enough. So you will not likely find one who is going to abuse their power.
Those who go so far as to go out of their way to make trouble with any of my admins will be blacklisted from the roleplay entirely. You get a second chance and that is it.

And now, are beautiful and wonderful admins!

- Zombie + their stages

- Infected and Stages

+ Create mod abilities to make accepting characters easier

+ Work on badges, visuals, [REDACTED ACTIVITY], and more

+ Work on Camp [REDACTED], and groups for [REDACTED times infinity]

+ QnA section

~~~A R T S T U F F~~~~

I'm not crazy. I swear.

~~~Roles to be Created~~~

+Merchant role I believe was in the works before the unexpected shut down. Traveling salesmen who distribute supplies throughout Sornieth between camps. Excellent traveling companions, wise with al sorts of knowledge about the world they travel, good for carrying information between camps, and bribing to use their secret routes when issuing evacuation. Most merchants are there to help spread the supplies and wealth as well as make a living, and most double themselves to be newspaper girls and boys so that word travels round. Some will pay a merchant just to hear tales of the outside world and what it was like before the apocalypse to visit simpler times. See them as that wise traveller who seems to know every folktale imaginable, and will tell you them for just a little coin or a home cooked meal. They don't like to stay in one spot for long, so make sure to give them thanks before they're gone. Try not to hold them down either.
+++Snake-Oil Traders - sub role - the opposite of a merchant, a conman. They, just like their names suggest, trick people into thinking they are the real deal when they say "I bring a cure" and then rob them of all they have. They don't use the same secret routes as merchants, who have learned to be the torch and pitchfork of the world to drive them off. They are the rivals of the merchants, and not just because of money, but because of morals. Snake oil traders have no sympathy and no intentions to do good by their word. Anything they say must be taken with a pound of salt. A grain won't do you good with these tricky folk. They are sly and greedy and oh so very good at games. If they don't get what they want, they'll rob you blind. You bet your boots they will!

+Track Nurses - nurses who are advanced and are usually called upon at all times of the day. One rung above the average nurse, closer to the doctor, and more skilled and trained. Not many of these for they are tasked with bigger issues, such as amputating limbs, surgery, and other nasty & difficult jobs.
Surgeons sub role -

+Scout sub role - Messenger
Messengers are much like scouts, but with a more travel based purpose, spreading the word to others. The reason some of the other camps started earlier on in the apocalypse was because a dragon overhead was able to shout down to them and warn them, projecting their voice loud and far enough to save the lives of many by helping them prepare as soon as possible.
Messengers are sent off on their own, carrying messages between camps and smaller groups. They spread the news of approaching danger, new discoveries in general, and look out for anything else noteworthy on the fly, acting as both a scout and the newspaper boy.

+Blacksmith Sub Role - Builder
Those in this role are experienced with metal and brutal working conditions, but not in the same way the blacksmith do. Instead of working with fire they work with earth and build structures and shelters for the camps they work in. They are known to move between camps when the bigger projects are done and spread their help to other camps that are just starting out. They are normally straight forward with their work, and those with common sense will even argue against a certain build plan if they know there's a problem with it. They are the kind of dragons to always greet you in the morning once you pass by after the first encounter. They are social when off duty and are focussed and honed in when on duty. They are always looking for work to take their mind away from all the stresses of life and their thoughts, and building is the way they can make that peace happen. They always have to be doing something, or they can't function properly. Without work, they would be lost on what they could do next, and that often stumps them and prompts them to bounce between multiple camps that need their assistance. Those who don't bounce are usually caught helping the farmer in the fields, with or without farming technology. Some even become artistic and create art with the left over materials of wood, whether it's carving statues or wind chimes, they love to sculpt and morph things into new shapes and structures with a sturdy base and plenty of blood, sweat, and tears poured into it.

+ Mercenaries - those who will take supplies and money in order to get the job done. Sometimes good friends with merchants. They are always traveling, only staying where they are paid to be. Some can be unexpected heroes who swoop and then leave, while others are nasty business men looking for a good profit and nothing more.
+++Rangers? - those who protect travelers in echange for a campfire or simply because you think they are idiots and need protection. You are often stubborn about everything, but you are one with the world. Your goal is to protect dragon kind from the wilds and the wilds from the undead. You care about the living because you know that they are better off alive than dead, but have little sympathy for possible threats that need extermination. You are an odd one, and loners are within your social life's network. You probably do best with loners because you have so much in common, but you are more driven to protect than to focus on self survival. (May become a loner sub role). You know how to hunt, track, and read the wilds. You are skilled in one sort of biome and all others you can get lost in, so you tend to stick to one flight zone instead of venturing out, but your nature is not strict about where you are willing to travel to and where to remain.
+++Wranglers - these fearless warriors go out there and capture zombies instead of kill them. They demand great payment in order to bring in a zombie specimen for doctors and researchers to experiment with. Unfortunately, they aren't always the most trustworthy bunch, for more than just the fact they take advantage of the world around them to sell dead things to people they won't protect once the cage door is unlocked. Some have been found to purposefully get rescues bit in order to turn around and sell their rotting, undead corpse to buyers, making them the most untrustworthy bunch out there. If one of them doesn't offer to help protect you from their product, think twice about buying. If a zombie looks fresh, think twice. You never know which were victims to the virus, and which were victims to the wranglers.
+++Rogues - those who are not the most trustworthy. Either loose thieves or caught residents who were doing more than just taking extra rations. They usually are locked up around the camp, or are suspected to be in some way shape or form associated with the virus thing over. They either support the virus or are just bad for business. They are known to help their mercenary brethren to steal from those they do business with, or the ones capturing rescues to turn into profit. They are the sneakier, less burly ones of the bunch. The rogues in the situation. They are normally the ones caught.

+ (MIGHT NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE DARK. YIKES) Prisoner Role - Rescue sub role - Those who were rescued and wronged. They are the ones in debt to Wranglers who don't appreciate life when it comes to profit. They can be seen following around wranglers and mercenaries who aren't trustworthy. They are just the rescues who fell into the wrong line of work.
BIG NOTE: They are rescues who have adopted the mind set that they don't matter as much and that the only thing they are good for is to stay out of everyone's way. They are the opposite of rescues, who are hopeful and determined to contribute in some way. Prisoners are prisoners of their own mind and the darkness of the world and they tend to focus on that instead of all the things they could do to benefit those around them.

Can I have a character that is immune to the virus? [/b] [indent]A. No! You may not have a character who is immune to the virus. Yes, I have approved those who are resistant to the virus, but that was because they had severe consequences that would be just as deadly, if not more so, then the virus to make up for it. No, I will not approve anymore like that. I tried it out, and I wasn't too fond of it. It just doesn't fit the lore well enough to feel realistic or fair to others. So no. No more nature or magical immunity or resistance to the virus.[/indent] [b]Q. Can I slow the virus's grasp on my character down so they can act a certain way? [/b] [indent]A. Yes, actually, but you can't stop it and you can't purge it from the body. There are two ways this can work. a) Keeping the virus at bay using extreme temperatures. Mainly ice magic and freezing temperatures can slow the virus down and its journey through the body. It slows the blood flow and the virus that runs through it, meaning even deep into stage 4 you can still be somewhat preserved in both mind and body, but mostly the mind. You will still be a full on zombie though, just a tad bit smarter than the rest. You can preserve this slowed state using items like magically enchanted ice chains and what not so you can act like this in moderately medium temperatures and environments (you will have a better time staying preserved like that in the Windswept Plateau or the Starfall isles than you will in the Shifting expanse or the Ashfall Waste). Extreme heat, depending on how much moisture was there before it begins to evaporate, can either help dry out the flesh before it can become too infected or cause the sweat glands to quicken the process, but mainly it will prevent the virus from going too far after a short period of time, and you will be stuck in that state for a while at the risk of your survival. So infected may be able to stop the virus from going too far, but in order to stop it completely you have to be as dry as salt and as moist as potato chips (and by that I mean you aren't moist at all). So you either die from the heat or you die from the ever growing and persistent virus. Your choice. Humidity only boosts the virus as well, because sweat and moisture is thick around you and that means more open pours to infect and invade from the inside out. b) You were able to get your claws on some super powerful magic that is able to preserve your mind somewhat but at a VERY heavy cost. These items are most likely there to just preserve the integrity of your mind, but cannot protect you from the rotting and symptoms of the virus and it taking over your body. So you will still be way out of it, even with magical help. Most of these submissions will be scrutinized and heavily weighed down by cons in order to be approved, and even then I will only allow a few to go through. Whoever makes a unique enough idea first to preserve certain zombified behaviors will be the first to be served and approved. I will only allow up to five or ten of these in the game most likely, so don't try to beg for it. I have the right to turn away any options or suggestions for these kind of ideas. [u][b][i]Mods/Admins will not be allowed to approve character submissions such as these without my explicit permission. Even then I will most likely be the one approving these ideas. So I suggest you come to me in pms first before posting ideas like these in the OOC if you want a proper workshop without being told no in the forums. These are tedious to approve since if so many were able to figure out ways to cheat death, then the apocalypse isn't really much of an apocalypse and more of a pandemic, and that wouldn't be any fun, would it?[/i][/b][/u][/indent] [b]Q. Where are the Gods in all this? Aren't they supposed to be protecting their world? [/b] [indent]A. Ah! Well you see, they are currently [REDACTED].[/indent] [b]Q. Do we have to start in Camp Curala? // Do we have to start at the given introduction?[/b] [indent]A. At the moment, pretty much yes, you must start in or at least close by to Camp Curala until more camps are available, because that is where most will be allowed to start off in. As the camps expand out into the different flights, there will be more areas to begin from and interact in. As of now, I only have two camps, and one is more heavily lore influencing than the other. There will be more coming in soon. I promise. \\ And no, you do not have to start with the given introduction given by Acacia. That is optional. If you start outside the camp or start by discovering the camp, you are allowed to start however you want. You can even start inside the camp as someone who has already been there for a long time. Since so many people are joining in constantly, I might have you guys split up into "rescue groups" if you decide to start with the Acacia intro. That way you realistically start all at once as a new batch of rescues coming into the camp. But that is uncertain as of now and will depend on how popular this roleplay gets.[/indent] [b]Q. Can we start our own camps?[/b] [indent]A. No. Not at the moment. I am still trying to figure out how I want to allow players to have their own camps, because running a camp is already a lot of work for me, and I have to know that these camps will remain dedicated to the roleplay so those who want to participate in them are not left hanging. This means I might have to have you guys collaborate on camps in the future in order to have one, but it is still undecided. BUT! I do all you to run small groups of traveling survivors. [i]They must be no more than 40 dragons in the start[/i], and you must choose whether others are allowed to participate in them with you or not. You must also show that you won't abuse this group to overpower the roleplay and create a monarchy that just kills everything. There will be regulations, and members of your group MUST die off during battles. No one battle goes without blood shed. And they also MUST trade with others, because supplies doesn't grow endlessly on trees. Rules will be applied when necessary, but for now they are mostly free-reign. I will announce when rules are applied to templates such as those.[/indent] [b]Q. What are NPCS?[/b] [indent]A. Ok, listen up, because in this roleplay there are going to multiple different kinds of NPCs that you need to know. So buckle down for an explanation. [/indent] [center][b]Host NPCs[/b] These NPCs are played by me and most likely have a significance to the overall story or are there to help run camps for players to play in and interact with until they make some in character friends. There will be the story influencers (those who influence the outcome of the story played out and the ends that are achieved) and there will be the leader NPCs (those who man the camps) and then finally the interactive NPCs (those who play with the characters so they aren't left out). I will normally call them the NPCs as a general term so you know they aren't a specific character in the game that is played for fun rather than for function. These NPCs are for function. [b]Camp / Payer NPCs[/b] These are player playable leaders who I will most likely allow my more trusted and dedicated players (most likely those I find to be admin worthy material or those I know personally that are invested) that will help me fill in the camp leader slots that I lack the ideas for to fill in. These people who play these NPCs are now tasked with interacting with anyone who is new or doesn't have anyone to interact with and are expected to keep to the job for as long as they can. This does not mean they are kicked off the position if they cannot join for a certain period of time, that just means that they are expected to roleplay with characters who need their assistance. I'm not making you swear an oath, I just need people to be active as best they can when playing these charcaters. If they can't play for any reason or don't feel they are up to the job, they can either take the NPC off the list or lend it to me to play (although I would prefer you do your best to come back to the character whenever you feel ready to come back to it and step away when your job is done until next time. I find trying to fill in for other people by controlling their characters for them is sort of wrong and uncomfortable, since I insist that nobody should ever control someone else's and especially my own character, even if that character is making everybody wait on them. I feel it is invading on someone's ability to execute any plans they have for their character and kind of poops on the character's identity in general. So don't lend me your character unless you are ABSOLUTELY fine with never playing it again and ok with me dicing it the first hundred times I play it. (I'd also like a cheatsheet so they don't act strangely compared to how they are supposed to act)) [b]Hoard NPCs[/b] These are normally zombies or group members. These normally come in the form of "the zombie attacks the character with an angry screech, clawing and biting" to "the crowd of warriors fell back as the leader character charged forward" or "the crowd parted, creating a path for the character, as the character could feel the stares of so many suspicious dragons fan on them. They didn't feel comfortable, and the character knew that." Just try to use these realistically and don't overpower or over dramatize the roleplay using these crowds or individual enemies to glorify your character in anyway. Use it for spicing up a scene, adding a little drama, or giving a little description as to how obvious the character feels or how their demeanor makes impressions on others to give your writing a bit more juice to its description. These can be played by everyone at any given time, but I do ask you do not play: - Zombie Waves - - Characters without bios yet unless given permission to - - guards to protect you in a fight that is out of ear shot or out of sight. - - merchants and creepy dragons that give you special items or buffs unless they are a part of your backstory that you are including in your starter response to introduce your character. Those items must be approved before hand in your bio before that can happen. If I see that you are giving yourself a crazy advantage this way, I will ask you delete the message and take away the item. - - Do not just say you are destroying zombies all over the place while at the wall, it gets old and its not always realistic. Zombies are stupid and slow, and they aren't really fond of broad daylight. So go easy on the massacring sweetie. You can kill stuff when there's another attack. UwU - - Do not constantly mention a wave is on its way. I control the waves, nobody else does. It's annoying when someone wants to cause a wave to happen the same day they join. Give the camp a little time to get to know it's new recruits and citizens first. - This list is obligated to change at any given time. If you want to attack or cause some serious damage on a character or reveal some serious secrets about a character, you must ask the person nicely before doing so. This includes killing, maiming, and starting unnecessary drama. I will be watching for instances I think are unfair and will speak up if I find one. If someone is doing this to you constantly, then let me or an admin know in PMs. [/center] [b]Q. How many characters can I have?[/b] [indent]A. As many as you can handle! There is no limit! just try to give them al your one equal as possible. If you can just handle one character, two maximum. Just have up to two! If you're like me who can play at least twenty different ones at a time, have twenty! Like to have backups early on, make back ups! As long as you can keep track of them, you can have them! [/indent] [b]Q. What happens if I'm not approved soon?[/b] [indent]A. You can start playing the day after if I don't approve. Just don't make a big deal out of your powers and backstory yet in case they need some tweaking for when I come back to approve. As long as you are responsible enough to hold back on making a big impact on the story, you can play without approval. They longest you have to wait for is 1 to 2 days before you can play without approval.[/indent] [b]Q. Do I have to have a zombie character to play? Can I ask that my zombie and other characters aren't absolutely murdered there first time fighting?[/b] [indent]A. No! But it would be great if everyone at least tried to make a zombie character they don't mind losing so there are more dynamic fight scenes in the roleplay. And yes! You can ask that a zombie be allowed to escape and live. If you don't mind them dying because they are boring, then that is a-okay to let them die in battle whenever you feel like it. Just know they most likely won't be able to come back to life after a second death, depending on the stage they are in.[/indent] [b]Q. Can my dead character come back to life as a zombie instead of dying forever?[/b] [indent]A. Ummmmm. Really it depends on how they die and if I believe you won't abuse that power to bring back dead characters as zombies, and if you asked me for permissions before doing so. Because a) if a corpse is dead too long, it most likely can't be infected because it would take for-freaking-ever to travel through the body without a pumping heart to push the virus along your bloodstream like its supposed too b) because I have had some very toxic events and people that revolve around bringing back dead characters more than once that I would really like to avoid. It's just not right and cheating death is not cheap and easy to do. It's too powerful to come back to life whenever you die so you most likely won't get to do this unless I have found you to be a responsible player. If you bring back a character without permission, your character will automatically be excluded from the game and blacklisted. To make sure you understand what I mean... (Blacklist - noun - a list of people or things that are regarded as unacceptable or untrustworthy and should be excluded or avoided.) [/indent] [b]Q. Can I give suggestions for the roleplay and other people's characters?[/b] [indent]A. Yes! You may give me or admins suggestions on what should be done in the roleplay to better the experience. I LOVE suggestions since I can't always think of everything all at once. Some of the features I find most exciting COME from suggestions made by dedicated players. Now if you're giving suggestions to other players to help with their characters, please ask them first and don't just randomly criticize them for eveything. Try and make it productive and supportive rather than asking them to change it more to your liking. Remember, all final revisions and workshops must go through me to approve, and things are obligated to change in order to fit what I see most realistic for the lore I have set in place. So if your suggestion gets declined by me or other players, don't hate us for it. We are here for an enjoyable experience, not a controlling and toxic environment. [/indent]

Q. Can I have a character that is immune to the virus?

A. No! You may not have a character who is immune to the virus. Yes, I have approved those who are resistant to the virus, but that was because they had severe consequences that would be just as deadly, if not more so, then the virus to make up for it. No, I will not approve anymore like that. I tried it out, and I wasn't too fond of it. It just doesn't fit the lore well enough to feel realistic or fair to others. So no. No more nature or magical immunity or resistance to the virus.

Q. Can I slow the virus's grasp on my character down so they can act a certain way?

A. Yes, actually, but you can't stop it and you can't purge it from the body. There are two ways this can work.
a) Keeping the virus at bay using extreme temperatures. Mainly ice magic and freezing temperatures can slow the virus down and its journey through the body. It slows the blood flow and the virus that runs through it, meaning even deep into stage 4 you can still be somewhat preserved in both mind and body, but mostly the mind. You will still be a full on zombie though, just a tad bit smarter than the rest. You can preserve this slowed state using items like magically enchanted ice chains and what not so you can act like this in moderately medium temperatures and environments (you will have a better time staying preserved like that in the Windswept Plateau or the Starfall isles than you will in the Shifting expanse or the Ashfall Waste). Extreme heat, depending on how much moisture was there before it begins to evaporate, can either help dry out the flesh before it can become too infected or cause the sweat glands to quicken the process, but mainly it will prevent the virus from going too far after a short period of time, and you will be stuck in that state for a while at the risk of your survival.

A. Ah! Well you see, they are currently [REDACTED].

A. At the moment, pretty much yes, you must start in or at least close by to Camp Curala until more camps are available, because that is where most will be allowed to start off in.

A. Ok, listen up, because in this roleplay there are going to multiple different kinds of NPCs that you need to know. So buckle down for an explanation.

Host NPCs
These NPCs are played by me and most likely have a significance to the overall story or are there to help run camps for players to play in and interact with until they make some in character friends.
