Rant 1150 / Is It Even Possible To Win In Zafehouse: Diaries?

So I woke up at 8.30am to this:



3-hour PSI average was 292 at 8am. 24-hour PM2.5 concentration at 8am was 238-304ug/m^3. It did not get better at all.

Although my throat is slightly better now, I have more phlegm than before. Not sure if this is good, bad or temporary.

...

3-hour PSI at 323 at 9am. Oh well, mask on! This is so farked up, I wonder if I should just spend the money to go overseas for a while, maybe just go to Thailand for a couple of days. Heard these places are cheap right now.

...

Ok, it's a cold. Probably from the a/c even though I had set it to 26 degrees and lowest fan speed.



...



Looks like things are getting better now in the afternoon. Almost back to normal now.



The PSI also looks pretty good at 122 at 3pm. But since I have a cold, I can't go for RT, so no exercise again today. I think the health benefits of the ICT should be almost all gone by now, so I'm uncertain as to whether I will be able to handle even half of the next P90X session.

Maybe I should just reset the schedule since I've only done one so far.





















Zafehouse Diaries is hard! The biggest challenge in this game is the interpersonal relationship. With 5 survivors, that's 20 relations to juggle. With people being people, some relationships are hard to improve.

Like in one of my games, I had a gay man and 2 people who don't like gays. Well, fuck. And you can't just tell them to STFU because this isn't a dictatorship. The few things I can do is make them do something together that they're both good at or start a rumour.

Both of these can backfire and this makes the game much harder. Basically, there is no direct surefire way of resolving relationship conflicts, so when possible, I try to split them into groups so that they don't stay close to each other. However this gets really difficult when people start dying, which they can easily do even on the very first day.

That was what happened on my first run, even though I was trying to go for the slow and cautious approach. Apparently, like some other zombie games I've played, shit happens in this game too. I sent all five people to try to take an empty building with 5 zombies inside and I lost 2 people in the process.

It kinda makes sense but it's felt unlikely to me. I mean, I did send a few of them to scout the place and thin out the numbers inside, so they must have known where every zombie was. Yet clearly they were surprised.

Worse still, none of the remaining three liked each other very well. At most the relationships were lukewarm if not outright disdain for each other. At that point, I decided to try out the option of starting a rumour.

Fortunately, it didn't backfire. Unfortunately, nobody gave a damn about it.

Then they started getting into fights because I could not spare the manpower to send them apart without searching the place and building traps. Those fights led to broken limbs that made things even worse.

One would have thought the common goal of surviving this disaster would have banded them together, but clearly this isn't the case in the game. What douchebags!

In the end, they all died, one by one. The first one died in a patrol, because I had to have a patrol at some point. Second and third died when zombies entered the building because no one was left who was good at watching out for zombies or patrolling.




Sometimes, other kinds of shit would happen. In another run, the scout spotted two inside a store and none outside. An hour later, I sent two men to take the place with a baseball bat and golf club.

Should be easy, right?

One got killed by 4 zombies while the other was killed by 5.

In that run, I had two guys who weren't particularly good at anything, and those two weren't among the two who died. Hence I quit the game. Not much of a chance of winning there anyway, with just one athlete, a cleaner and a musician.

Well, I might have a chance if that musician was in some kind of rock band that smashed their guitars like those on TV, but he was probably some kind of sissy flute player or something because he wasn't very good at combat.



Here's my 4th run. I don't know if they're just bad shots because the last time I fired a gun standing up, I had plenty of time to aim. Near the end, I really couldn't do anything. With 2 guys, I needed one sentry and the other to do whatever. Both clearing the corpses and barricading felt important and while barricading the place took priority under most circumstances, the guys' lack of skill at that made it a less efficient use of time.

After the second last death, there really wasn't anything I could do with just one guy.
