How doable will it be for 100 player and all/some sprinters zombies.

[@Ruinya]

In my opinion, if possible, the kill logs in the chat should be disabled. Or just the chat disabled entirely. Players shouldn't know who killed who without any vocal information. This would allow people to gaslight and lie, worry, and wonder where people are. If there's a mod to remove nametags, that would make things more crazy too. People would actually have to introduce themselves, teams would wear certain items to identify each other, and bandits could steal clothing from large groups and appear like "one of them." Nobody would know who is approaching them without asking. The less UI information, the better, IMO. Let the players figure things out. If there isn't any mods or settings for this, hopefully it can be developed easily.

[@1_lingling_1]

I wondered how they always knew bc I didn't see the little chat box. But yeah it shouldn't be a thing

All jokes aside, Jacob is exactly why chaos would ensue during the first days of an apocalypse.

No, infact it's the zombies and crazed people like him that create peace momentarily, common enemies always make everybody friends. It's when they start gaining power over the other faction is when chaos starts

I was leading the mall rats we heard this mf and brought the smaller groups to fight back turns out it was all propaganda

[@IchCharacter]

In the short term, sure, but they'd get put down soon enough, just like Jacob himself. In the long term, people like Kuddles and Vinny were far worse. Jacob was too inefficient and unhinged to cause any real trouble.

[@thc_freebaser]

I screamed when I realized that the reason the Responder guy didn't shoot when he was getting his ass beat was because he didn't have ammo. This is a whole ass movie.

[@boobyslater9390]

It even has arcs lol. The Start Arc (Minor antagonist: Seabass, Jacob) Simple arc, battles and people taking leadership of the mass of players. A few rogues pop up and begin causing a little mischief. Once the zombies are dealt with, attention turns to the disruption Seabass is causing, as tension rises and freely spawned loot is snatched up starts to wear on some player's patience. This results in Seabass being killed, with no one disagreeing with the murder. The Jacob Arc (Antagonist: Jacob, his cousin) Seabass is gone, and Jacob has full 'control' of being the mall's public menace. All other factions are attempting general peace and are building supply stocks to sustain their populations. Jacob and his minion rove around causing problems and with no other troublemaker at work, Jacob sews doubt and confusion among factions still working to establish themselves. This results in a genuinely cinematic moment where Jacob is captured and put on a show trial before one of the members in attendance reveals he has been bitten, likely unintentionally turning right in the midst of the trial. He kills himself, prompting Orphanza to enter a state of frustrated blood lust, executing Jacob on the spot. The Airdrop Arc (Antagonist: the horde, minor antagonist: Outter-clan AND inner-clan conflict, Kuddles) Jacob is gone and the clans can return to focusing primarily on stockpiling and future-building. An air drop of vital supplies lands, causing a large zombie horde to amass, the clans fight in tandem against both the horde and one another for looting rights of the supplies. People die, but supplies are won and distributed I assume mostly amongst the larger clans who had the people power to loot and carry off supplies. Inner-clan conflict beings to occur as people argue over resources and the advent of cures, ironically, leads to problems as now clan leaders realize some of their members have been lying about infections. Clans really start to butt heads, undoubtedly some individuals still annoyed at the results of the airdropped supplies. Everyone is feeling the stress of dwindling resources, leading to people acting much more hostile and ready to react with violence. Also, the players are getting a little bored. Kuddles takes matters into his own hand and initiates the war Jacob always wanted, by luring a sizable amount of zombies to attack another clan's base. The Clan War Arc (Antagonist: Kuddles, his Sky clan supporters) Tensions are at an all out breaking point. Inner-clan drama surrounding Kuddles' actions and an aggressive call for blood. An unwitting Sky clanner gets taken hostage for the humble act of wanting to retrieve a fallen friend, a strategically sound but morally dubious decision on the part of the Wood clan. Kuddles pleads his case, with the clan divided. Kuddles wants to destroy the stairs, isolating the Sky clan from the rest of the mall while allowing the other clans to squabble over what's left while the Sky clan settles on the entire roof. In a heated decision, Kuddles is killed by Nitro, who argues that there was no other choice as Kuddles refused to surrender. The Sky clan itself is divided on the decision, with some members arguing the execution wasn't right, though the Clan endures. Kuddles' death at the hands of the Sky clan angers the Wood. Wood clan member Vinnyboy is angry his clan could not execute Kuddles personally, with Nitro attempting to explain his actions. Negotiations break down and Vinnyboy declares open two-way war. In a twist of fate, the Sky clan retreats to their base and enacts the exact same plan the maniacal Kuddles was just offering, and breaks down the stairs leading to the Sky clan's base. Only this time, however, it is a defensive maneuver in response to open hostility rather than an attempt to aggressively cut themselves off from the rest of the mall. Vinnyboy steps up to use force to establish peace, not bloodthirstily murdering those who do not comply, but is also all out of patience and is open to killing those who won't obey his orders. His aggression butts heads with the aggression of others, as Vinny fails to achieve total control over situations. Sky clan members open fire from the roof, causing extreme panic and confusion for the people below. In the crossfire, a member of the Responder clan is unintentionally shot by mistake. This is a problem, and now it's known Sky shot at and killed Responders. The Sky clan snipers decide that there's no explanation they can offer to make the situation better, and decide to kill everyone they can while their enemies are confused and vulnerable. Vinny and the others work out that Sky is shooting them from the roof, and that the war has escalated into a position in favor of the fortified and cut-off Sky clan. The Alliance Arc (Antagonist: The Sky clan) Sky clan is in a position of dominance in the mall. With their members having attacked and killed a Responder and wounded several others from the remaining clans, a call to action is made and most of the remaining clans band together to focus on their common enemy. Even Cheddar, who was moments before on the cusp of an execution, has his crimes momentarily forgotten about as he joins in alongside Vinny, Orphanza and others. Vinny organizes an impromptu raid on Sky, only to realize the severity of Sky's position as his party is once again damaged heavily by Sky firing from the roof. In an exciting narrative twist, a disparate band of outliers come together, formed of members who are friendly to what is left of Cheddar's Apron clan. They resolve to rescue Cheddar, unaware that the execution has been stayed and Cheddar is currently working alongside his captors. MadManv, a semi-innocent Mall Rat, is accidentally killed by Sky's overeager snipers, who did not know who they were shooting. This prompts most of Mall Rat's members to also focus aggression on Sky. Vinny leads the bulk of Wood clan's united forces outside of the mall to attempt gaining a spot of advantage against Sky clan. Meanwhile, a plan is hatched by a group of players to use Molotov's to spread fire to the mall roof and kill the trapped Sky, even at risk of burning the entire mall down. (continued)

[@boobyslater9390]

The Negotiation Arc (Antagonist: Everyone, sort of) Hostility is brought down upon Sky clan, whose leadership struggles to understand what is happening. Nitro attempts to maintain leadership in the face of approaching enemies, but fails to keep some of his own members from escalating aggression. Onetiredslav steps up and manages to begin talks with Wood clan representative Straven. Onetiredslav offers apology and suggestions of peace, though Straven, personally injured and left with a limp by Sky snipers, is not initially receptive to the offer, but does volunteer himself to enter Sky territory for further talk. At least one member of Sky is not comfortable with the offer, arguing that extending a rope is part of Wood's plan to attack the Sky base. Onetiredslav must argue with his own clanmates and navigate rising tensions to ensure Straven safe passage into Sky territory, even butting heads directly with Nitro over clan leadership. The situation begins to rapidly deteriorate as people on both sides lose patience and begin shouting conflicting orders, desires and opinions. Thankfully, Straven and Onetiredslav manage to wrest control of the situation and it is decided that Straven will be offered safe passage to Sky for negotiations. Straven is received peacefully and even has his leg limp treated by a Sky clan doctor. Straven, Nitro and Slav convene in private talks on the roof of the mall, where it is decided that either Sky clan must surrender "most" of their guns, or Nitro must offer his life. Nitro, understandably not happy with being scapegoated, accepts the conditions on behalf of the safety of the Sky clan, earning the respect of Slav. Vinny, hearing of the conditions negotiated by Straven, is left unsatisfied and demands to have a representative enter their territory for additional peace talks after Nitro is "dealt with". Yorgun, an aggressive member of Sky, must be talked down by Nitro from escalating the situation further, putting the Sky clan entirely at the feet of the Wood clan alliance. The Chaos Reigns Arc (Antagonist: Everyone, sort of) While Nitro is being taken by the Wood clan alliance, a group of Mall Rats have found and retrieved Cheddar. On their way back to their territory, a member of the Mall Rat entourage randomly snaps and opens fire on his allies, killing Cheddar and another. For reasons unknown, the remaining Mall Rats put the blame on Sky clan, dramatically reigniting the aggression that was so close to being tentatively put to rest. Straven and Slav share a moment of mutual respect for one another before Straven descends the rope out of Sky clan's base. Nitro gives a spirited speech to Sky clan before climbing down the rope to surrender himself to the Wood alliance's custody. However, agitated Mall Rats appear and begin arguing for violence. Straven attempts to regain control of the situation, but a stray Molotov is thrown at rope ladder Nitro is climbing down. Straven, still attempting to calm the situation down, is killed in the flames. Straven is gone, and Vinny attempts to take leadership of the chaos, leading Nitro away through burning hallways and frenzied Mall Rats who take swings at the captured Sky clanner. In the midst of the confused swell of aggression, Mr EggHat (one of the Sky clan's snipers) descends and is swiftly and aggressively murdered by a member of the Mall Rats, who is himself killed shortly after, seemingly by gunfire by the Sky clan. Things settle down as Nitro is escorted to Wood clan territory, bickering with Vinny along the way over who is at fault and for what. The Sky clan, in a show of peace and outreach, accept a lone and peaceful Mall Rat into their territory, though this causes immediate tension with the aggressive Yorgun, who is incensed at Slav's threats of execution for those who disobey his orders. At the same time, another surviving Mall Rat with a vendetta against Nitro makes his way through dark and zombie filled halls to the Wood's territory. Nitro is put on a trial, arguing his relative innocence but also accepting of his fate. The extent of each Clan's respective guilt in the situation is argued, until Steakanator, the Mall Rat with a vendetta, stumbles into the trial, battered and limping, proclaiming Nitro's crimes against the Mall Rats. Vinny barely maintains control of the situation and moves his men to stage a proper trial for the fate of Nitro. Moving to a private trial room, Vinny begins the court processions before the trial is interrupted by gunshots outside the room. Vinny orders several of his men to investigate the disturbance, though Nitro elects to go himself, believing the shots to have come from Sky clanners and proclaims he will calm them. Vinny demands Nitro remain where he is, despite Nitro's insistence he will reason for the gunshots. As Nitro ignores Vinny's orders, Steakanator opens wanton fire on Nitro, killing him. Steakanator argues his actions, but is swiftly executed in turn. The Light of Day Arc With Nitro dead and everyone who wants revenge gone, things stabilize. Straven is buried and given a funeral, Slav gains control of a united and self-sufficient Sky clan, Vinny leads those who are left of the Wood alliance and everyone lives happy lives for the rest of time (or at least until they all get bored and drink bleach). Honestly it's a really cinematic story that could make a genuinely good novel, lol.

honestly, if they hadn't killed Kuddles and instead tried to utilize a few more hordes in the same way as before, they could have probably weakened the other clans without risking much themselves. As it was, Kuddle's idea of just destroying the stairs was a good one. And I don't think they ever got Ruff back, making killing Kuddles worthless

[@secretx3029]

what makes that even better is that minutes later they immediately start doing Kuddles' plan and isolate themselves from everyone else so they had a "the villain was right all along" moment which really adds to the cinematics of it all

I swear the concept of "some men just like to watch the world burn" truly applies in these games. You get a game of 100 and there will ALWAYS be a Jacob somewhere. Some are more successful then others but stopping them before they cause too much discord should be the top priority. Im glad they stopped him before he caused too many issues. RIP Ranger, you truly did nothing wrong aside from being in a room alone with a sociopath.... Side note, I have mad respect for Nitro, his leadership was actually pretty admirable, i remember playing online as a kid and the difficulties it took for older players to see you as an equal (until you kicked their asses over and over again) so him maintaining a group like this is pretty impressive! He'll be a force to be reckoned with when he gets older. They did my boi Nitro dirty tho, he GENUNELY did nothing wrong they just took advantage of him and used him as a scape goat....

He didn't have a lot of control of his group though, which led to a lot of awkward situations where he'd get accused of doing something because of his group members. Basically, because Nitro was younger, he didn't command enough respect to prevent his group from doing stupid stuff.

Honestly, he seemed considerably better than his competition. He only died because he chose to accept accountability for his clan's actions.

He was the most competent in there lmao, you can't control the actions of random people, especially in a game where people aren't really afraid of consequences, even after killing his own, the competition just spat on him and accused him of incompetence, even after playing an almost perfect game, so he accepted to die for the consequences of his subordinates.. What's funny is that the competition killed him because of the actions of his subordinates, and then proceeded with, hypocritically, doing the exact same as nitro, not being able to control people around them and then killing the people who were causing chaos.

[@jmbec62]

@oniviper nah he was out of sync with his team and their gameplan. He couldn't handle conflict, which was the whole point of taking the roof. Cuddles saved the game from being milk-toast and boring, and was the defacto leader of the clan before Nitro killed him. He was too concerned with displeasing the other teams instead of playing the cards dealt. No one wanted to work with Sky at that point, and him giving himself up was again the easy out. A good leader would have went to war and burned the rest of the map

[@oniviper]

@jmbec62 I won't lie that cuddles brought some entertainment to the video with the horde, but if nitro sided with him the video would've been even more milquetoast (correct spelling by the way, not that it matters). Sky would've just waited it out on the roof with the high ground, food, and water, without ever needing a reason to go below. And I wouldn't say nitro was out of sync, those guys never even brought up the plan to him at all. Didn't even end up being a group discussion. They acted alone out of selfishness. In a real world scenario (which I think many were trying to roleplay), their actions were reckless and dangerous to the survival of the group. For the sake of entertainment, they could've easily coordinated with nitro and the rest of the group to enact a much more coherent plan, starting with the horde. They made for bad leadership overall

Fuck this, kill them all". Sure gotta be fair but at no point in this moment I heard "get the guns". Running away from a guy yelling at you to stop running while he's having a gun and threatening you doesn't make you a warmonger, imo. Also, the guy lost a base and some ressources and gets the head of the guy who did this but still decides to "kill them all". What kind of justice is extermination for a loss of ressources?

[@derdox6720]

@@SuperKiki93 they talked about the conversation later, towards the end of the video, with vinny saying he heard the "get the guns" line and nitro not denying it, just saying it was a misunderstanding, so i treat it as him having said it. they ran away before vinny did any of that. i won't go back and listen again, but he said something to the effect of "nitro come in here" and honestly, with how fast they were all gone, i am not even sure nitro even heard that bit. sky just noticed that just putting a corpse in front of the wood guys and saying "this guy did it" wasn't enough for them and started sprinting back to their base immediately. not really what happened from the perspective of woods and i don't understand why you make it about justice when it never was about that. woods wanted the guy that brought the zombies to them and said very clearly that once they have him, so they could kill him themselves, they will be open to peace negotiations. sky then brought a corpse and basically expected everything to be resolved and when vinny said to come in and negotiate they ran to their base.

@@derdox6720 "not denying it" Yes false accusation exists, and just because you don't deny does not make you guilty. And you are the one that said that we gotta be fair, so let's just keep to the facts. From our perspective Vinnyboi is clearly the one who started the violence. And yes, he said that once they got the guy they would kill him, however later in the video he said that it was about justice and that he did not want him to be killed. I am talking about justice because Vinnyboi is the one bringing the subject at the end of the video while he's talking about Nitro's trial: little does he know that in fact he should also be put in a trial as he was the first to draw blood. However, the facts had become fuzzy in his mind perhaps and he forgot to what extent he contributed to all the violence that happened later. We can debate it all we can, 36:15 has everything you need to know, even if you don't wan't to rewatch it. He drew blood for shady motives and later made false accusations.

Come to think of it, Jacob’s reputation for using deception tactics, and him being executed were almost the catalyst for the sequence of events that unfolded.

Bless the zomboid dev for making one of the most immersive zombie games ever, even the bit with the sniping is chilling as it's exactly the amount of helplessness one feels in that horrid situation. I like how Vinny's lack of self awareness was the real villian of the story he had a chance to defuse the situation but refused to show emotional restraint a man blinded by anger of losing his base and blinded by his need for revenge rather than justice. What's worse is the people around him ate it up due to the situation and not one person attempted to really reel him in and deal with him. Fear a human driven by emotion for when a situation calls for logic they will instead choose a path of fire and bloodshed.

@@senselesseldritch Plus, the dude had a voice that sounded like a kid. I can't think of any person on there that would actually respect a voice like his- regardless of what his words were. Great leader, but impossible job... Not that WOOD helped any either. Vinny couldn't handle getting Kuddles gift-wrapped and bow-tied right to him, so he threw a tantrum.

Anarchy "he did nothing wrong, he posed no threat, he got no trial." that was some smooth brain thinking when he was kiting a hoard of zombies into an opposing base. both Anarchy, and Kuddles have no strategy.

Really need to turn off death notifications, takes away a lot of possibilities when you just know who killed who

[@Harvest0]

Nah it'd turn into a murder mystery, every death would be an investigation and ruin any story

[@ReaperSymbiote]

@@Harvest0 Hopefully you’re ok with constructive criticism. but I’m not sure that really applies with this game, I watched all your edited videos involving “social experiments” on zomboid, halfway watching the unedited amusement park video right now. But the benefit of having death notifications off who is killed by who allows for more flexibility and character development to grow in events like these if you do them often (main example is Jacob, if you scroll through the comments, a lot of people were interested in his story but unfortunately, either due to his intentional blunt role-play or inability to manipulate situations verbally better he could not get very far with that storyline. Disabling this feature would allow moments like Ranger being killed by him far more interesting but even if it was off, he wouldn’t have even get away with it) All the videos so far People usually stick to a group of two or more very rarely ever going off by themselves which is typical for this game. A lot of examples I saw in your civilization video where the whole map was unlocked with the cultist and the kingdom a lot of times whenever somebody was under attack or died and gave no death notification on who killed them because of bleed damage the group under fire usually can guess very quickly on who is attacking them either because of how Zomboid view system is right now (little jank) or the handy little faction tags that the people in these videos use. (Checking the unedited streams also back this up.) I think you’re viewing this More from a Rust perspective considering your other videos on the “ civilization” videos. This game allows a little bit more and it would honestly probably speed up the process of some of these projects from people taking more risks Instead of standing around doing nothing but building and collecting supplies for a good bit. (I’m not saying remove factions because as nitro showed you have it enabled to where you can enable PVP against faction members making betrayals much more interesting instead of what you had in the other video I referenced which just had somebody being a rat and sending discord pictures and telling them exactly where faction members are in realtime) Because so far the basic formula is basically faction wars or a multiple team death match until a stalemate or the more aggressive people are killed out instead of what an actual civilization simulator could be. I can’t imagine how tedious these projects are from having to spectate the people, and watching hoping that you get the right moments recorded but my recommendation would be whoever you have That dies in the event, possibly be able to spectate and record other people they are interested in that or they know. Don’t know how many people you have if any that also help you record ins spectate because I’ve noticed some other admins invisible walking around too. Could be similar to how SMP Minecraft servers are where the majority are streaming (Only a reference/a suggestion because you never know how much of a problem stream sniping would be) You could set up rules and guidelines on how they could have their footage used in your video if they don’t have anything glaringly in the way of the recording I.e. webcams and such) Can’t think of anything else right now, apologies for any typos or confusing lines of texts because I am making eggs right now Edit: A couple of good mods that replicate 7 days to die mechanic's and other horde mods would also be neat to look into for more events like "the air drop" for example, to shake up the pace if things are going too slow or uninteresting, feels like a real lack of zombie threats in these zombie apocalypse civilization videos

Yeah, Sky took accountability and wanted to arrest (but were forced to kill) the one member that had caused this whole bullshit. But Vinny was a vengeful madman and wanted Sky dead at all cost even despite their show of good faith.

[@francoguzman1236]

Vinny had that Tyrant leadership. He demanded things againts sky with an iron fist, wich that led to more confrontation when he didn't got what he exactly wanted (Kuddels himself on his knees). In wich, he reacted so aggresively sky chose hostility because of it and that led to a bloodshed of Betrayal, Madness, Chaos, Arguments and...In the end...Just 2 people (YaBoyJesus and Geigo) who got their peace in their afterlife by drinking Bleach and recaping every tragedy that led them both in this situation. So interesting and intense that it deserves a movie on itself. Great video and it's theme!!
