NES Preview: Pandemic!!!

[carmen510]

Based on the game, Pandemic,(http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/360724)
this game is about creating a virus/disease, and eventually killing mankind.

Viruses: You can customize your virus. HOWEVER, any 'known' virus is an 'NPC' under me.

Virus Template (PM this to me, don't post it)
Name
Player
Starting Location (Any country. Start in any country)
Symptoms: (Only sneezing, coughing, OR sweat for now. Customizable later)
Contraction: (Only by inhaling disease. NO immunities like water immunity, yet. See below)
Visibility: Explained below.
How many killed (by area)
Abilities: Explained below
History:
Picture: (Optional)
Seriousness: Germ (Explained below)

Humans: They are to die. Well, regular ones anyways. There are only A FEW organizations with the power to stop the viruses.

WHO (World Health Organization)
HAD (Humans Against Disease)
DIRL (Disease Immunity Research Labs)
You can custom make one. Just state where your HQ is, the name, and your 'motto' (Optional)

Note: Humans only have 8 billion living people. This number won't change. (Pretend the amount of people killed in a day equals the births. Until the viruses come. ) I'll play humans. The organizations will eventually find a cure, if they don't die from the diseases.

Contraction: Touch the disease to be infected, by inhaling, by drinking contaminated drinks, etc.

Visibility: As in if you can tell this is really a virus or just another less-serious one. Visibility scores: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.

Abilities: Immunity to water (Can be in water, requires immunity to moisture), waterbourne (Although in water, can't travel in it, requires immunity to water), airbourne (Important to go from Western Hemisphere to Eastern Hemisphere or islands), Immunity to heat (requires ability to stay outside of host), immunity to moisture (requires ability to stay outside of host), ability to combine (explained later), ability to stay outside of host, more to come.

Seriousness: The 'levels' of the virus.
Germ, Plague, Epidemic, Pandemic, World-wide Killer Pandemic

A point system will be implemented later. My other NES will be closed for need of refinement.

Once a cure for a disease is found, it'll be implemented. However, it cannot instantly kill the virus worldwide.

Orders: Organizations need to say what they spend. Note: Speeches will give MORE 'points' for the next 'turn'. (Organizations get worldwide funding) Viruses spend 'points' on new 'abilities'. The amount of kills for viruses gives more points. The viruses also say which direction to go in

Updates: When organizations find a virus, they post it on the news. (Well, I'll post the findings) Also will be putting 'related' news, such as economic downfall or shutdown of airports due to viruses. Note: It takes a while to 'close off' continents and countries, so isolating places might not be smart.

Reserved in case

[germanicus12]

Can I make an Organization or am I limited to just Viruses?

[LightFang]

Are you going to make Western Europe "impossible to infect"? :P

[carmen510]

You can make Organizations. Also, Western Europe isn't impossible, have infected it. Will incorporate water systems, airports, and public transport realistically. (Certain countries/cities will close accordingly)

[germanicus12]

I will make an Orginization

USDRL
United States Disease Research Labatories,
Motto: No virus too tough, no virus is invincible.
Based all around the world, most in Africa fighting the AIDS.
World Headquaters are in Logan, Utah.

I dont know how much I can spend, unless I am supposed to wait for someone to give me a budget?

[carmen510]

Glad to have you here! (If you eliminate AIDS, you get more points as a congratulations from the world government) Yes, organizations have a budget. All organizations start out with a certain amount of points, and workers. (I'll explain in main thread, later)

[jeps]

western europe is really easy to infect. Africa is clearly the best starting place. Easy to get western europe, and also has 2 airports and lots of people. Are you going to make strategies from the game the same in this or change it up (ie going for highest infection possible, then killing)

[MjM]

The game is rather poorly made, but this looks intresting.

[Lord_Iggy]

Yeah, I didn't like the game.

@MjM- Is Hitler your doggy?

[carmen510]

The goal is to kill everybody, or to get killed by the health organizations with shots and vaccines galore.

[carmen510]

Any questions, comments, suggestions, criticisms, etc?
If you ARE interested, please say you are.
If I get enough people to start, I'll start. (At least 3 viruses and 2 organizations)

[carmen510]

A shame. Almost finished with the rules.

[Abaddon]

Think it was just a bit too different TBH.

[carmen510]

TBH? (Sry, I'm not the best at 'obsecure' internet slang. )

[Abaddon]

to be honest

[carmen510]

Thanks! BTW, should I start in case?

[Abaddon]

BTW?

so are you a virus, and heath organsiation, both or either...??? Im still not sure whats going on!?!

[carmen510]

I'm NPC. All those not being played by players.

[Abaddon]

Sorry i was talking in an odd perspective... what am i meant to be!
