Discussion
The countries of Halifax, Wight, Sealand, and Israel need to be added. Zombie movement continues. Also Forgottonia and should be recolored, and Chicago made a similar color to Mississippi. Mscoree (talk) 02:38, March 29, 2013 (UTC) The Republic of Ireland needs to be colored, and there needs to be light zombie infection in the Republic and heavier infection around Belfast.

Zombies
I assume that the zombies are going to migrate into South America, Asia, and Africa? Daxus Inferno (talk) 02:40, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

The immediate plan right now is that the zombies will enter South America, Europe (up to the East Germany), and eventually Africa and Asia. After that it is down to the players as to their strategy to control the zombie horde.Mscoree (talk) 14:38, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Ammo
How long is it planned for people to have ammo before they have to make their own? Daxus Inferno (talk) 23:51, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

In most developed countries ammo is a resource heavily stockpiled. Many ammunition factories still remain intact. Also scavenging and small gunsmiths are popular. Mscoree (talk) 02:08, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

Names
What sounds is cooler? Vote! (as i plan on renaming my nation eventually) Daxus Inferno (talk) 02:50, March 28, 2013 (UTC) My first impression is that the third one is best, although the "K" substituting in for "C" is random.

How Long Should One Turn Represent?
Right now the current rule for turns is that every day a new turn is made, and that turn represents one month of in-game time. Does any one thing that this should be a longer or shorter period of time? Let me know what you think. Mscoree (talk) 14:44, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

I think maybe a season, and if there are four seasons in a year and the games starts in 1970, 4 x 43 = 172, so with the seasons the game can have 172 turns, and it can make more in-depth posts on how players deal with winter, farming etc. Daxus Inferno (talk) 14:47, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Interesting point. Mscoree (talk) 17:03, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

or Per month, it would be the same than per season, but it would allow A much profound posting as it would not be just winter and fighting if not Life changes and National Events within the nations in a more regular base Sine dei gloriem (talk) 23:54, March 28, 2013 (UTC) and it would give 516 turns

I like the season interval a bit more to be honest. If we did it by months, it'd take almost two weeks for a year to pass in the game. Not in the mood for that. CrimsonAssassin (talk) 23:58, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

Although I like the idea of indepth, monthly storytelling, I doubt many others are willing to. For now let's try out seasonal turns. Mscoree (talk) 01:56, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
