Welcome to Epidemic: Versus Mode!

Epidemic is a forum roleplaying game, in which players find themselves trapped into the streets of Corpsington, during Versus Mode, gameplay is more player focused and faster, with map interactive features and less stats to worry about. Any player who dies as a survivor or gets too infected will turn into a playable zombie. (If the gamemode allows it.) This game is supossed to be realistic with a small portion of madeup things, but, most importantly: Tons of fun!

As a Survivor: you have health, stamina, inventory and infection: Your health would typically start at 20, if it reaches 0, you will die. Your stamina is your best friend. It allows you to do double/triple damage with melee weapons, or, move trough additional places. Not moving would recover 1.5 Stamina (Decimal stamina is unusable, it only helps recover faster.) And walking recovers 1 Stamina. Inventory lets you pick up items found in the map. It’s set to 5 slots. Your Infection starts at 0, if you get hit by zombies, it will increase, if it reaches 20, you will turn into one of the infected in 3 turns (If you die you will play as a zombie next turn), not being able to move and keeping your items until death. Unless you decrease the infection with a healing source. You may also panic, dropping all of the items you have except the last used or one specified by you, getting 3 stamina for that turn only, 10 turn cooldown.

As a Zombie: You can walk trough X areas, you have 1 stamina and know the current infection of all survivors, upon roaring npc zombies close will follow you. You also gain 1 HP every turn while unattacked.

Weapons: A weapon normally has Range, Damage, Ammo and Noise. Melee and hybrid weapons can only hit once, while firearms or Hybrid weapons can shoot as many times as you please. Range is what limits your shooting, if a weapon has 2 range, you can shoot between [Place 1] and [Place 2]. Damage is how much damage it does. Ammo is how much ammo it can shoot until you have to reload. Noise is global and gives a bad effect if it reaches it’s maximum number (50).

Map: In the map, there are different areas such as [Grass Road 1] and [Grass Road 2] You will always be at an area, you can move in all directions except if an area is restricted.

Turns: survivors post first, Zombies post second, and so on.

[Area] - Movable.
[?] Expands the map. 
X - Only zombies can move trough these. 
\/ - Connect/Separate areas (But aren't additional areas.)
O "Empty" Areas, to move trough these you'll be required to waste stamina (Jump, etc.), upon falling on these as a survivor, you will not be able to move and loose 1 HP every turn until another survivor helps you. 
[!] - Cover areas, survivors in these will only receive shots when shooting. 
[N] - Noisy areas that increase global noise upon walking and running on them. 
I - Impossible to move trough areas.
[Area(→/↓/←/↑)] Only allows moving in the direction of the arrow.

The Rules:

-External communication is allowed for Zombies, but not for Survivors.

-You may only post once per host turn, After 50%+ of the players post their action in their respective turn

-If you are afk, You may post actions such as ¨I will follow Dennis¨. Actions such as ¨*Finds gun store and gets Bazooka*¨ may not be used and the host is able to kick you out of the game for this.

-You can votekick other players by saying /votekick Player Idle/Trolling/Rude/Reason, Although majority is needed to kick them.

-If you are joining, Say /join Gender , Name (Optional) votemode Gamemode (No voting as a Late Joiner).

-Late joiners are allowed, But depending on how late it is or the gamemode being played you will join as a Survivor or Zombie.

Sub-Gamemodes:

Zombies have 10 lives during this gamemode, If all zombies are killed: Survivors win. If survivors are all infected or killed: Zombies win. Noise limits shooting during this gamemode. When a survivor dies zombies gain 1 live.

Flatline
Made for fun challenging gameplay, Flatline offers an endless game as long as survivors stay alive. Keep surviving waves of endless zombies as they come, Players can get infected too. There is no way to win this game. Just to end it. Noise calls hordes during this gamemode.
