Weapons & Supplies
We're sorry to inform you that you cannot hold hundreds of weapons, or have thousands of supplies. While we won't force you to run out of equipment, we want this to be realistic. Ignore Hershel and his shotgun of unlimited ammo, and pay attention!
Weapons
We ask that you have a minimum of 0 weapons and only a maximum of 4, to start off. Meaning, when you join this site and fill out the small registration form. You're only allowed to write down 4 weapons. This is simply because on a site we ran before, people commonly has about 10 or more weapons. In reality, no one can even carry that much on them. Sure, you have a 'safe house' that you keep them in. That's completely unrealistic! You could have a 'safe house' yes, and some people could have 'more weapons' at their 'safe house'. Still, it's unrealistic, and frankly very mary-sue to always have a weapon on you.
As for killing with that weapon. The series is very common with one shot, one kill. We know this, and we don't expect any more/less of you guys. If you want your character to always hit a zombie, no problem, then go ahead. It's your prerogative. All that we have to say, is be as realistic as possible. Nearly being killed, and missing a few times is great drama. It could help along plots. Plus, if you miss, it doesn't mean you're going to die. It does mean that you'll attract more of these fleshies. So, just be careful when using a gun.
Commonly, Guns are a favorite. Just remember that whenever your character shoots a gun, that they should expect more zombies to appear within a few minutes. Weren't not saying a ton of them, but a few wouldn't hurt. Don't shoot a gun, sit there for 5 hours in the same spot, and not have any zombies come near you. Sure, it's possible that none of them heard it, but it'd make for a good plot if they did!
Supplies
It's really hard to limit this section, considering supplies are pretty difficult to come across. I'm going to do a small little chart below. Follow it when filling out your registration form:
Clothing includes shoes, socks, pants, top...etc Can Food means green beans, corn, carrots...etc Other food, is things that are considered snacks, liquids, or need cooked. Like chips, hamburger helper, milk, water cookies...etc Medication, it's quite clear. This means bandages, first aid kits, pills...etc. Shelter, clearly means living quarters. You can't have more than two houses, but we're not talking mansions or fortresses. A farm house, with a barn counts as two living spaces. Remember that.
Earning More
Oh yes, there is a way to earn more after you join! We will be having monthly awards, and it's quite great what we have available. To earn more, you can do a number of things.
Being active, plotting a lot, and posting a lot. You could get nominated for an award! You still get something even if you don't win! If you get nominated, then you will win either something in the supply or weapon category. You could also earn more through our shop system and such, which will be based on the money plugin. This works by posting, and it's very easy to earn a lot of money. Though things will be higher priced, considering we don't want to make it too easy.
