> [@I\_Love\_Me\_Vol.I](#): > > I’m sorry–when you say “Recommend me a browser game” do you mean “Recommend me TO a browser game”? Did you just accidentally leave out the “to”? And if so, why would you want to be recommended to a browser game? Wouldn’t it make more sense to have a browser game recommended to you? > > I’m not sure I understand. 😕 If you don’t understand, you might need to brush up on your English, because although there may be some grammatical errors, I’m pretty sure the gist of the sentence would have come across pretty clear. Also, pedantic much? To the rest of the responders, thanks a lot for the suggestions. Currently enjoying Rebuild, although I’m not sure what the win conditions are. Is it to clear all squares of zombies? Because at one time I thought I had to clear a park with some kind of pentragram in it, assuming it was the source of all zombies, but doing so didn’t do anything. Die2nite sounds interesting, too, but I’m always hesitant to start games with other people. Maybe I’m just shy. ---

> [@fanganga](#): > > A warning about Die2Nite - when I played it obsessively a couple of years ago, to do well you pretty much had to have organised scavenging expeditions with everyone online and co-ordinating just before and just after the gates closed. It may have changed, and it may not be an issue with your requirements, but worth bearing in mind. Well, I decided to sign up. 10 minutes into the first game and I’m surrounded by zombies unable to escape. No one hears my cries for help ☹ I like the concept of the game, but it’s not really useful for a half day of slacking off. After you used up your action points and rations, there is not much left to do besides wait for the following day. ---

Shoulda read the help, man. I am interested in Die2Nite but my town is a total clusterfuck! I guess nobody else read the wiki? Because I finally asked if we shouldn’t be deciding what to build and all and didn’t get any responses! People are dying in droves of thirst… I don’t even. Nobody’s talking about anything except bitching about each other. Is there any way to get a GOOD town? It does seem like the sort of thing that’s nice for a daily check-in, maybe a morning break thing. But not an all day time waster. I liked Rebuild - I don’t know if there are other win conditions, but if you can enclose the town hall and frame a constitution that’s one I’ve found. ---

I thought I had read everything there was to read. I didn’t expect the outside world to be a picnic, but after only three squares out I was faced with 5 zombies which I couldn’t handle on my own. When I fled I was immediately sprung by four more. I managed to kill one and run away, but when I walked back to town I was again attacked by four more zombies. I can’t run anymore, my fight is ineffective, and no one is coming to even the odds with the zombies (I only need one more person to be able to walk away). It seems I can’t commit suicide either, so I have to wait until tomorrow to be killed and start a new game. ---

According to the wiki you should never flee. You’ll get hurt and then probably die. Sit tight; the zombies can’t get you until the daily attack. Don’t burn your AP up with bare handed fighting, either; just post a call for help and hopefully your town isn’t as stupid as mine. My town sucks so hard. In extremity the wiki said if nobody is coming to help you you need to have saved your AP to dig in and try to camp. ---

Because at one time I thought I had to clear a park with some kind of pentragram in it, assuming it was the source of all zombies, but doing so didn’t do anything. There are a number of possible win conditions. 1. Reclaim every square. 2. Military victory: Repeatedly clear the graveyard with the pentagram until it’s empty, reclaim it, then defend it as you close the portal. 3. Political victory: Repeatedly clear the town hall until its empty, reclaim it, then defend it as you form a new government. 4. Scientific victory: Complete every research option, have three laboratories, then defend them as you research a cure. ---

So I was wasting my efforts with the graveyard AND the town hall. ---

> [@Zsofia](#): > > So I was wasting my efforts with the graveyard AND the town hall. You can win multiple times in the same game. Certain wins make other wins easier. Curing Zombieism will stop the zombie hoard from growing every night and clearing the graveyard will stop Zombie invasions from appearing. ---

They still show up when you’re doing the Town Hall though, even if you’ve cleared the graveyard. ---
