Welcome to the world of The Walking Dead. A deadly, zombie creating virus has suddenly started to spread out of control. When someone dies or is bitten by one, they turn into a zombie and have only one thing on their mind, to feast and create more of their kind. They have no thoughts, no hearts, no being but their agenda, so don't get too close.
We want this SB to be as original and creative as possible. We also want this SB to be WORLDWIDE and focused on many different countries.
There will be at least four groups around the world with four playable characters (before we start), as for the ammount of NPC's your group can decide.
How groups are formed and about groups in general:
You choose a group below and include it in your character template. And then everyone with the same groups can discuss in seperate clusters. However, we do want this to be a connected SB despite the world wide spreading of the characters. So, every character has to have some link to another character, in another group. Again this can be further discussed and there is a WFP for that here.
There is also a WFP for each of the seperate groups for planning and discussion, so that only general discussion needs to be kept in the DT since there's a lot to discuss and many different topics to discuss about. Also all seperate group plotting can be done in the seperate WFP's.
Remember that when you join a group, it's kind of like you're joining a tribe, so stay close and take care of your members. Although I'm sure there will be some of you that can't be trusted.
Another important note is that to make this last (hopefully) and more interesting, all the groups are going to keep moving. The point is to make it to the safehouses nearest to the groups' starting locations.. Groups can create their own maps (google maps are awesome for that) and they can appoint different safehouses along the way before they get to the big one (if they ever make it there).
This is at the start of the outbreak, so some forms of transportation will still be working such as planes, cars, ships. The safest things most likely are ships and boats, since they are more individual things and zombies can't swim (especially in this storyline). They can float though, so they can still kill in smaller bodies of water like lakes, swamps or rivers.
Lastly, please don't be selective, and take the opportunity to learn about different cultures and parts of the world.
Killing off characters:
You can kill off your character anytime you want after they have (or are involved in) at least five posts, so that it's not immediate considering it's an actual character. Once your created character is killed, it'd be great to delete the character page so that there can be a new one in place of the old one. And anyone is welcome to create another character after killing one, it keeps the character cycle fresh too. However, you can kill off your NPC's anytime. (You can also bring in new NPC's anytime.)
Location Specifics:
The current locations are:
Group A: Canada
Group B: United States of America
Group C: Australia

Character Specifics and Template
For now, the limit is two characters per person, and it would be great if they were in different groups. If you really want three characters and are a dedicated member, that's fine, but at least two have to be in different groups.

Extra Info and Rules
All posts should start with date, time, group (G), and name.
Example:
The 12th || 6:30 am || GA Maria
or Mon, 12th || half past 6 am || GB Bob
You'll only have to add the month when a new month comes, example:
Jan 1st \ 6:20 am \ Maria
Same with a new year:
Jan 1st 2011 / 4 pm / Maria
(After a while, when we have groups down, we don't have to add the groups anymore unless we want to for reference.)
---------------
This is loosely based on the AMC TV show The Walking Dead. If the group in America would like, they can pay homage to the characters of the show by incuding them somehow in a rumor or something.
A few guidelines:
No controling other characters, god-modding, or creating bizzare plot twists affecting everyone, without group and/or SB discussion.
When it comes to post length, please keep it as detailed as possible. : ) Also it would be great to have a post up at least once a week.
This SB is 16+ mainly because of the violence (gore) and cursing that is allowed. Romance is welcomed and encouraged but nothing explicit is allowed.
Last but not least, let's be creative, have fun and stay dedicated!! xD
