My name is Jess, and I'm a college student trying to finish up my degree in history. I should be done in May, but we all know what happens to made plans. I just got married on March 7, 2009, and I'm as happy as can be with my husband and dog, Mephistopheles (Mo for short). I've been roleplaying both online and in real life for years, and I co-mod a game called btvsal with a friend. I'm friendly and like to talk to others. I promise I won't bite.

Can I skip ahead on time updates?
No. I got the idea of time updates from other games I have played in. It's a way to give players a few days to get a scene done in one game day, and it allows for me to post about all of the goings on in town. You can make use of a placeholder if you're scene is going to take longer than three days in real life to play by making an entry in the game board with "Placeholder" in the text until you finish. Skipping ahead and mess with story line, since you don't know what might happen the next day as far as events will go.
Do I have to have read World War Z to play?
No. Sure, it helps to have read it or The Zombie Survival Guide, but it's not necessary. General zombie knowledge helps, though.
Can I play a zombie?
Dear god, why? There is no damn good reason to play a zombie, so you can't do it. There is no way that I'm changing my mind about this.
I'm having issues with another player. What do I do?
Talk to me, and I will talk to the other player, or we shall talk together. Hopefully, some sort of agreement can be reached.
What should I know about zombies?
We have slow moving zombies in our game that, if you are bitten, will cause you to expire in a short amount of time, depending on just how badly you were injured by the bite. You will reanimate a few minutes or so after dying. Your character will then become mod property, so try to not get bitten! We will have no zombie dogs or anything of the like. Zombies don't seem to care for the flesh of animals, only other people.
Do I have to apply for every character I want to have?
Yes, but the application isn't that hard. Also, once you are in the game, a third person writing sample is not required for additional characters. The first person is only required to get a feel for the character and his/her personality. Besides, applications help you flesh out your characters.
Where can I get icons from?
www.hollow-art.com is a fantastic place to get them. I do require that you use a real person for your PB: no illustrations or anime characters.
Can I bring in a character from another fandom?
No. All that is accepted here is original characters and the occasional character from the books.
