What if THIS is how the zombie apocalypse starts?

I was afk to get my cat some fresh water. Came back to a Mapserver Disconnect message, and the rest, as they say, is history.

So... what exactly do you think it was we were seeing with those little flashes as Shane was lying there on the ground? Were those his "dying thoughts" or were they images flashing through his mind as the virus reactivated certain synapses in his brain like Jenner's MRI showed? And if they were the latter, what does that mean? Do the zombies posses some sort of rudimentary hive mind?

Yes, and for whoever was bagging on Kaley Cuoco in another thread recently, I think she has been looking a lot better recently with the darker, curlier hair.

So... what do you think Sheldon's character's name is...?

Sheldor-Man?

Doctor Sheldor?

The Mighty Sheldor?

Sheldorine?

Um... what windows?

I was RPing recently when another character sent my character a text on her cellphone. As a result we began texting back and forth and I realized that it would be really cool if this game had a /e texting emote.

We already have a cellphone emote, but actually talking on your cellphone is so 2005.

Is there any way to turn this feature off after you have earned it? I can't ever get the title to the same bluish color of the character's name and badge title, and even as close as I can get it, it stays that color when I join a team. Yuck. How do I make it go away?

I will admit to being tempted to quit some TFs recently. I have taken to running blueside TFs with my rogue, and most teams have been understanding of the fact that if I have to travel from PI to any zone besides Talos, or even if it's a Board the Transit mission, it's going to take me a while because I can't take any shortcuts.

However, I have had one or two teams stealth and complete multiple missions while I was still traveling. To me, that's a crappy move.

I remember one time on the original Positron TF I joined a team of eight to run it. After about four missions, two of the players either thought it was too hard, or decided to do something else, or... I don't know. Anyway, they quit, but the other six of us soldiered on.

It was going really slowly with a lot of deaths and a few team wipes, as the original Posi TF was apt to do, well, I guess two more players had had enough about an hour and a half into it and they quit. Some of these players made excuses and some didn't, but now we were down to four.

We discussed giving up, but decided not to. At least three of us did because 15 minutes later the fifth player quit. Oddly enough, that seemed to be some sort of tipping point because from then on, the missions went much more quickly and smoothly with fewer deaths and no complete wipes.

Anyway, my point is, it depends on who is quiting the TF - if it's a somebody who doesn't know what they are doing, or is just a bad player, having them quit can actually speed up the TF for everyone else!

Regarding the issue of zombie degredation - I know point was made in the comic that it was safer for the humans in the winter because the cold air slowed down, or perhaps in some cases even froze the zombies solid. Still, they seemed to survive that when spring came.

Another thing that came to mind was the issue I think that was mentioned here about how easy it seems to be to stab through their skulls to kill them, and I knod of came up with a personal justification for that: osteoporosis. The zombies aren't drinking enough milk, so their bones are getting brittle!

I don't know how feasible it would be, trademark-wise, but if this set were to come with a costume change emote, I think the obvious choice would be a "Transporter" effect complete with whiney transporter sound.
