You want 7 players and an NPC? Thats going to be a CRAZY, CRAZY thread, man.

I'd tone it down to like 3-4 max.

Seven players is going to seriously suffer, as you'll find yourself losing some players for various reasons (to include some getting lost in it) and not everyone will post at the same rate. The ideal size, in my experience, has been two, maybe three players in a thread.

Sounds like a pretty cool idea to me! Like Solairs and Cassanove said, seven in a thread could really suffer. I'd say three to four being the most you should aim for. That said, if you really want seven people to stick tot he Seven Samurai feel, then maybe a couple of threads could work? So you have your seven people, but split them into two or three teams, defending slightly different places/against different threats, with a person to npc for each?

Whatever you end up doing, it sounds good, and I'd like to get involved!

Doesn't have to be 7 its just an idea.
I am a newbie and i don't want to jump in and ruin anyone's thread so i'm just thinking of starting a basic one.

Will
I'd be in.

Nice

I wouldn't mind running my characters, Char and Nasiri, in this. Where are you planning on having the outbreak happen?

Not to rain on any parades or anything, but wasn't the Death Troopers virus airborne? That may just cause a depressing end to the threads. Unless it's a completely different virus with similar traits.

In any events, I'm interested in this. Gonna go and throw in Claire.

In with either Survivor or Rebellion. Take your pick - either fit the situation well. Rebellion due to the undead and Survivor due to the defending the innocent thing.

Yeah i thaught of that but the book is set on a ship an inclosed space. Any way maybee the survivours have found the anti virus that was easaly discoverd in the book as well.
It dosne even have to be Death troopers maybee a sort of Crossed virus or a 28 days later Rage virus type thing.
Any way glad to have you on bord.

As i said there i will start it on the Rebellion bit ( idont know if you call it a thread or whatever.) And if i have to it takes place on a small mining planet or moon.

If i can start two threads one looking for the source of the virus to neutralise it and one defending the survivors that sounds cool.
is that ok or dose that sound dumb?

Isn't the Rebellion on Tatooine at a different time than the rest of the site?

Yes. It's 14,000 years before this timeline.

EDIT: Whoops, just saw Number-75's post. My bad!

Some people have a natural immunity to it. It's been confirmed that some Humans do, unknown if other species have that capability. As I understand, immunity is to the airborne form only.

Rebellion is Tommy's character.

Pfft, I have reading comprehension skills. Honest, sometimes I even use 'em.
