Imagine yourself being a giant and stomping on zombies. After that wait out the killing and go get your gear when it's safe.

Split the items evenly among you and jenkins.
Search the killed zombies to see if they have any items of interest?

Check the DtD, I guess. Oh and if it makes you feel better, I'm not going to rovar's interactive anymore. Just yours. I also have this page on my favorite's taskbar. Do a happy dance.
oh noes! D: dont abandon rovars, his is awesome, do them both :| and thanks for the fave :)
Well, yeah, but I'm not on the computer that much and I'm way behind on his, so I just don't really feel like catching up. Again. But maybe I will, you never know. And your welcome, good sir. [IMG]http://imageflock.com/img/1304900107.png[/IMG]

The truth is, Tomtyke, your interactive is actually better then rovar's. Now I know what I'm saying is controversial but his interactive has been around longer and gained alot of support. Yours, to say the least, isn't but you have improved upon Rovar's layout and I think the details are better. However one thing I noticed is you practically forced us to take the quest from General Whatever and didn't really give us any other viable options. I recommend giving us a reason to possibly say no to the quest. For example, in Fallout New Vegas, you had a reason to choose between different factions. It wasn't like helping one faction is so much a better decision then helping the other (except maybe Mr. House). Also in rovar's interactive, he let us chose between helping the angels and having 2 days to kill the fallen, or helping the fallen and somehow get past the army of heaven. See where I'm going? I see a bright path for this interactive, one where people will flock after rovar's is over. It's definitely a lot better then another specific madness interactive which I will not name (partially because it doesn't have a name).
oh you had options, you had many options, for example, that syringe is valuable, and there seems to be more of them, you could have followed that up, you could have dug deeper and asked more questions... for every pivital point, i work on a system of 1-2, or 2-2, 1 obvious choice, two not so obvious, or two obvious, and two not obvious and as a somewhat experienced Dm and storyteller, i can tell you, that to get the best results, you have to look for them, the obvious isn't always the best, and if the dm trys to force feed you, it usually means he's covering another choice for example, this choice here, depending on where you go, the story will be very different from that point on and as to why Galiger didn't give you many options, it's in his charachter, hes a high ranking officer, he's worked hard, and he expects to be obeyed, and he's not above threats to get what he wants, and he's also based off a charachter from another campaign i participated in, where he was Sgt. galiger, and was my commanding officer, and was that much of a hardass he got the nickname, "sargament asshat"
Hear hear to Smooth Jazz Hmmm..... the street is probably filled with hostiles but we might get suprise attacked through the alleys... lets do West.
The thing is, my interactive only gained support because it was here first. It's the first interactive to hit an autolock and need 2+ pages, the first to reach +100,000 views. Hell, I broke quite a few firsts for the whole MSPaint section. I'm good at storytelling, and I listen to my readers/viewers, that's important. I remember all my readers, I know who stopped reading and who joined. The only thing I need, is a better program to create my interactive. Having 90 degree turning in MSPaint isn't helpful. Using flash would be much more useful to me. When I draw all my guns, sprites, character armor, etc it's quite hard. I used a flash sprite sheet for the characters. Everything else, had to be drawn from scratch. Originality is the key to a good interactive. Personally, this interactive is headed for a path to success, more so than mine. I walked into this blind, no idea how to even do an interactive. I got the OK after people started posting in it. After that, not once did I have to ask for requests. People just started coming in. Then, Krinkels linked my interactive to his site, bringing in literally hundreds of viewers. Throughout the comic, I made the mistake of not planning out a good story first. This, left a bunch of questions, plot holes, failed follow throughs. Don't let this happen it will KILL your interactive. Tomtyke, I wish you the best of luck with this and I hope you don't make the same mistake as I did. Updating a ton, and than slowing down due to inactivity. I'm trying to get back on my feet right now. I use to update 15, 20 times a day. Now I'm lucky if I update a few times. When I started creating mine, I wanted to make sure it was as reader-controlled as possible. So I leave you with this advice, you don't run this interactive, the players do. It's like a video game, make sure that you aren't controlling anything that can be controlled by the players. None of that choice crap. The players in my interactive can kill Nexus right now if they wanted too, and I couldn't say anything about it. You can't restrict you're readers to follow a single path. Plan out multiple endings, and be ready for any decision your readers make. Otherwise, it will look like you're running the interactive. That's not good. In my interactive, I gave players to side with [b]5[/b] different factions. Yes, I was actually going to give them 5 different endings, play throughs, and choices. They took the side of the Angels and Rebels. You can side with Angels, and Horus. Be a double agent and side with C&A and rebels. Horus is making another appearance hopefully too. Also, be prepared to add more content than you plan too. Keep on rocking Tomtyke. -rovar

check and see if the figure is ok, but make sure Jenkins can cover you while you do this, in case the figure turns into a monster or something.

Pierce it's heart with a steak! NOW!
Perform a general autopsy on the body. Using the knife, cover it in the rum to substitute for a rubbing alcohol, it's the best you have. That way, it won't cause infection to the skin and cause disease. You never said he was dead.
He looks a bit like he's possessed. Stab his heart with the stake and slice his head off with the machete. Also ditch the kitchen knife.

Slice his face open with the machete and growl like a dog. Then jab the kitchen knife into its eyes and look viciously at Jenkins. Then immediately smile a troll smile.
Tell Jenkin's that it's obvious to assume the worst and that you received the steaks to kill vampires.

Oh thanks alot Smooth Jazz, you ruined my birthday... :'(
Shoot Jenkins while trollfacing
Alright, this is better than rovar's. And rovar, i know you agree. But both are great. Anyways, lets not get off topic. Ditch the kitchen knife since we have machete. We should ask Jenkins some of his backstory. Such as what he was doing before we met him.
