Zombies on Lavaland

[firecage]

So, can we remove these yet? It was a horrible idea to add zombies to Lavaland in the first place, and Zombie Apocalypse rounds are getting fairly annoying.

Zombies are such an out of control round ender it seems like a bad idea to have them player-obtainable. However we had a minor outbreak on basil last night and it actually was pretty interesting. Zombies are good as a once in a while thing but this is just gonna get run into the ground real fast

One of the sources of zombies got removed. The other source (gym) requires outside assistance to get on station so it shouldn't happen as frequently.

I neither mapped nor merged either source of zombies so I blame everyone else.

This isn't just zombies though, it applies to a ton of things on lavaland now.
The most important thing people can learn is to NOT BE A PUSSY AND KITE SHIT.

NO YOUR ASHWALKER FRIENDS AREN'T GOING TO HELP YOU KILL THAT ASH DRAKE. YOU WILL DIE, THEY WILL DIE, AND THE WALKER TENDRIL WILL BE A DRAKE SNACK.

JUST LET IT KILL YOU, YOU'RE FUCKED. DON'T DRAG ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND COWORKERS WITH YOU

[MMMiracles]

To be quite honest I didn't expect people to grab something that literally says it's cursed and proceed to use it on the station "just to see what it does". I also get the feeling it was mostly activated by non-antags looking to be memes and 'woops accidentally summoned infinite zombies who woulda thunk not my fault!'

nazis did nothing wrong.

[Wyzack]

Cheridan why do you have a stick in your ass about the nazi stuff anyways?

[DemonFiren]

Clearly because we're not acting like the good goyim we're supposed to be.

I watched two zombies spend twenty minutes on the mining shuttle occasionally walking out to use the inter comm asking someone to send the shuttle. Eventually they learned if you yell (!!) It masks the groan. The QM fell for their ruse and called the shuttle. Station went total zombie in ten minutes but it was hilarious regardless.

you know how there's that 11 year old kid down the road who is the most annoying person on the planet and makes all these edgy jokes about how daring he is? Adding nazi's makes us that guy.

Don't be that guy.

[MMMiracles]

but wolfenstein is a pretty good game

[Wyzack]

Also who gives a flaming shit what other codebases think anyways

but we're not being nazis we're fighting them

[Zilenan91]

I could make a great argument that shooting space nazis is a great feature of this codebase. I can't think of anyone who doesn't like doing that aside from actual German people since it's illegal and there isn't exactly a big native-German demographic playing SS13 period.

[Bombadil]

Wait how does one become a zombie?

[Grazyn]

There are a lot of German players IIRC

[Okand37]

You can become a zombie by being infected by other zombie(s), which happens when you reach a damage threshhold from said zombie(s).

[Super Aggro Crag]

we got like, demonfiren, and it'd be no big loss if it's illegal for him to play SS13 because he might see a swastika and get beaten to death by the secret german police.

But Crag, I am the secret German police.

[ShadowDimentio]

I always knew Nazis were serpioids trying to take us over in disguise

[DemonFiren]

No, Icke was just right.
People simply made the mistake of interpreting his lizards as Jews.
The truth is that the Jews are the only ones who can save you.
