Oh, totally! I understand now; my fault for jumping the gun there.
Would the goal be then to utilize a deadline for sign-ups in-general? Unless that was also implied and I never picked up on that either, lol
and is that kaze i see above me?
I wouldn't limit the quantity of players too low, so I probably wouldn't rush signups. I'd rather have some nice, complete backstories and all that. :) And since I tend to leave SUs open since new survivors can easily show up at any time, I may only impose a deadline at the start for the first batch.
Oh, oh, question to the Klipster: Will this be a sequel/follow-up to the original, or is it a fresh new start where the events of Outbreak 1 never happened? Will everything be in the same location again?
It's a parallel story, so the events of Outbreak 1 occurred roughly at the same time still. This is just a new set of survivors (or if you want your character from the first one, you can have them retain their history and memories from there). And this is a new town as well. Outbreak 1 took place inland, while Brookings (a real town) is on the coast of Oregon. :)
