CoDz Code of Conduct
Listed below is the Code of Conduct.
Please don't just read numbered points and say "I'd never advertise!" and skip over it, because there are things you may not realize are categorized as advertising, or anything else, that are and you might have already broken them. If you have any questions regarding this, please ask, and have a good time and be sure to follow the rules!
1. ADVERTISING [ADV]:
Rule: Advertising to other users inside the CoDz Forum, whether it be via a post, personal message, or profile/signature links, to buy or view any products, websites, or other service is strictly prohibited. Non-intrusive links in signatures to personal YouTube accounts may be allowed, but that is case-to-case and each will be reviewed individually.
Consequence: The infringing user’s account will be banned, as well as the IP address. Any post with the intentions of advertising will be immediately and permanently deleted.
Example: If you are a spam bot, a hired advertiser, or a desperate website/business owner, this may apply to you. Signing up and making your only post a promotion for your zombie gameplay YouTube channel is breaking the rule. However simply sending links to a fellow forum goer who wants to know where to buy a capture card is not breaking this rule, PMing your buddy a link to a funny YouTube video isn't, etc.
2. DOUBLE ACCOUNTS [DBLE]:
Rule: Creating another account when a a user already has one account on CoDz is not allowed. There is little to no need for a separate account. If you've forgotten your password and need access back to your main account, use the Forgot Password link. Should there be a logical reason outside of forgetting credentials for the double account, contact a staff member immediately with details of the situation..
Consequence: The secondary account created by the original user will be permanently banned given with evidence of double accounts. In addition, the original account held by the user will be temporarily banned as well. Using the secondary account to avoid a suspension/ban on the main account will result in both accounts being permanently banned.
Example: A user creates a double account because they've been banned. If that account matches up the original user and no case has been made to the staff about the reason for the double account, both accounts will be banned after contacting the user.
3. SPAMMING [SPAM]: Spamming is defined as many things, and all of them aren’t allowed. As a CoDz user, you should hold yourself to a high standard and use common sense when posting.
Duplicate Posts -
Rule: Creating a thread that discusses a topic that has already been brought up in another thread is generally frowned upon, as each user is responsible for finding the pre-existing thread and making their remarks there. Cross-posting violations (making more than one post of the same question/answer across multiple forums) is prohibited.
Consequence: The infringing duplicate thread will be either merged (with the original thread), locked, or deleted, depending on the situation. When dealing with two duplicate threads, the staff will sometimes exercise their own personal judgement with regard to the thread’s posts, to avoid conversations being broken up and posts losing their cohesion, as all the comments in both threads are merged and arranged by the date they were posted.
Cross-posting violations will be dealt with by deleting all cross-posted threads. Users are responsible for figuring out the appropriate section in which to post their topic. If you have any trouble you may ask any staff member for advice!
We always welcome PMs from the users!
Example: If two threads are created that both discuss the exact same element of a newly released Zombie Map trailer, they become ‘duplicate posts’, as they consist of identical, or very similar, material. However, if someone makes a thread about, for example, who they think the Pentagon Thief is, and then someone else makes a thread in which they argue that it is actually someone completely different, they would not be breaking the rule.
Moreover, if someone made a thread that came to the same conclusion as the first user’s thread did, it still wouldn’t necessarily break the rule, as long as they brought new evidence to the table (or reevaluated old evidence) while doing so. If they reach the same conclusion, then they will be merged, in which case the older thread will remain, and the newer thread will become a reply to the older post.
Post Pumping -
Rule: Any user that makes a post just to increase their own post count is considered disruptive to the community, and is interfering with the other members’ usage of the CoDz forum.
Consequence: Violations will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis - some users will be warned verbally by PM, others may receive an official warning, and posts/threads may also be deleted (which will make your post count drop again!). Repeat offenders will suffer a Permanent Ban of their account on the forum.
Example: If a user makes a post saying “I agree,” or “We know,” or something similar and they do not further the conversation or productivity of the thread, that would be grounds for deletion of the post. The specific details of post pumping are left for staff to decide case-by-case, as there are a broad range of possibilities, which are quite dependent on the circumstances.
4. FLAMING [FLAME]:
Rule: Posts, signatures, avatars, or PMs that are intended to harass, threaten, embarrass or cause the distress or discomfort to another member of the CoDz Forum Community or any other individual or entity is unacceptable. (For this reason, the emoticon known as “facepalm” has been removed from the forum.)
Consequence: In some cases, warnings may be issued, but flaming is likely to result in Permanent Banning. It is therefore advisable to always be respectful to your fellow members; this does not mean you cannot disagree with someone, but you do not need to tear a person down in order to prove your point, so be careful with sarcasm! The response “I was only joking” will not get you much sympathy.
Example: If a user says to another on the forum that they are stupid, dumb, illogical, incompetent, etc., that is an example of a user tearing another down, and is considered to be ‘flaming’. Even sarcastically saying “Wow, you’re a bright one, aren’t you..” or “Did you figure that out on your own?” would qualify as a form of harassment.
5. OFFENSIVE CONTENT [OFF]:
Rule: Using offensive language in any context is not allowed here at the CoDz Forum. We believe that our intelligent members can make their points and offer their contributions WITHOUT the necessity of vulgarities. Included in this would be racism, sexism, or any other form of discrimination that may end up causing the distress or discomfort of a user or any group in general. Along with offensive language, displaying or linking to offensive content is not allowed at CoDz. Please be sensitive towards others and how they may react to sensitive material.
Consequence: Posts, signatures, or profiles containing offensive language, content, or links will be edited and/or deleted by the Forum Moderators and Warnings will be issued as appropriate. Repeat violations of this policy may result in more severe actions, up to and including Permanent Banning.
Example: You can come up with your own examples for sensitive language, I trust we all have at least a few in our heads, but simply starring out a letter or putting a strike through the word does not excuse its usage, such as f*ck, sh*t, etc. An example of offensive content could be an avatar of the Twin Towers falling with the caption “Burn baby burn!” This is very offensive to many people, and although it may not be so to you, please respect the feelings of other users.
Examples of offensive links include Pornographic, Racial, Defamation, or any other derogatory content. If it does not pass our CoC do not link to it on our site.
6. SIGNATURES [SIG]:
Rule: A user’s signature may only be 5 lines high, 15 pixels high per line and 65 pixels wide per line. A signature must follow all of the above guidelines concerning offensive language and material, and also concerning advertising.
Consequence: If a user creates a signature that violates the above rules, they will first be contacted and asked to change their signature. If they do not comply, someone will change it for them. Particularly horrid offenses will be dealt with by staff in an appropriate manner.
Example: A “good” signature could contain a few links to some threads (as long as they follow previous rules), zombie round numbers, a small image, or something personal, such as a saying or quote. A “bad” signature would contain any annoying “flashy” .GIFs, or any content that would not comply with previous CoC rules.

"Accept Your Fate, BEGIN ANEW!" This line has been brought up time and time again, and yet it still seems to be one of the most overlooked quotes in Zombies history. It is essentially establishing a canonical rule of the Call of Duty Zombies storyline. There was a time loop in Shangri-La, and it would repeat the cycle only once all people in said cycle died. There was a time loop in Die Rise, and it would repeat the cycle only once all people in said cycle died. There was a time loop in Mob of the Dead, and it would repeat the cycle only once all people in said cycle died. The pattern is quite clear. And so, we begin to see the significance of "accept your fat…

Let me just say one thing North woods Jason said that he had already finished revelations before the release of GK so that leaves about 4-5 months of nothing If this northwoods is what we think it is then it will expand the life of BO3 If northwoods will be released it will be soon each of the developers compete everyone will come back to play I think that it will be released around November to January

"The Paradox Must be Resolved. The Loop Must be Closed." This quote has surfaced three times now. Three times under very different circumstances. The first is towards the end of the Origins Easter Egg Maxis will say "I must go to her. The paradox must be resolved. The loop must be closed". He says this right before he enters the portal that presumably takes him to Samantha. The second time we see this quote surface is in one of Der Eisendrache's radio messages,"Several individuals reported hearing the same exact words: I must go to her; the loop must be closed. While most accounts claim that the words were spoken by an unidentified individual, several seem to…

So in Gorod Krovi we got this quote from Dr. Monty: "Now, if it had been entirely up to me, you numbskulls would be the last people I would entrust with this. But, due to factors outside my control... you're all I've got." I don't know if we have an answer to this sentence yet. So there could be two possible solutions: The first would be that Ultimis Richtofen took the essence of his soul and the rest of Ultimis to forge the elemental fragment, "bound their souls to Aether." This would involve Primis as well. With this, Dr. Monty and his intervention in Origins would have Primis in a perfect state to put them in a cycle (with the help of…

Before you start reading this, I have written this all by myself so if there are any mistakes please message me thank you. The story begins with Samantha and Eddie (The children) are playing in Samantha's room when the teleporter siren goes off to inform that someone was arriving at the house. This person was the 2.0 Edward Richtofen. Richtofen has a conversation with maxis which then leads up to maxis asking Richtofen to find a book called the kronorium. This books contains the location of a ancient device called the summoning key he said that the device will set things right. He seeks off on his journey to find the summoning key and finds out the location of…

1. I was wondering about this today: where do origins and mob of the dead happen on the timeline? Like not the actual dates but when they happen in the story? Is origins before moon and mob is before everything? 2. Can someone give me a list of the maps in chronological order in terms of when they happen in the story please. 3. Now instead of the other questions that were asking when stuff happened in the story, can someone link the thread where it had the date and location of each map?

A collection of the evidence suggesting a cyclic time loop Time loops have been seen many times in Zombies. Examples include the Shangri-La Easter Egg, Die Rise (and most likely most of the Tranzit trilogy), and Mob of the Dead. There is one thing that every time loop in Zombies history has in common. "Accept your fate, begin anew!" This quote is more significant than most people realize. When characters are stuck in a time loop, they cannot repeat the cycle until all of them die. Meaning if they screw up and can't complete their mission, they all might as well kill themselves and start over. Now for the evidence for a loop starting with Origins an…

After the zombies devs had a little talk about shangri-la mountains, there have been many theories leading to the same conclusion. That Shangri-La is on mars. Here´s another little thing pointing at than conclusion. If you skip to 3:00 on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_4m4i3C ... t_F0vlWmSQ you will see that the moon while the eclipse is happening, has a crater. Both of the moons of mars have a crater, but deimos is too small to create a solar eclipse. But phobes on the other hand, has every oftenly solar eclipses, occuring almost every night. The crater on the moon in Shangri-La could mean, that it is phobes and it is on mars. wiki link http:…

It is my personal belief that the poster is an indication that the Treyarch Zombie team has gone in a whole new direction. I know the following is pretty loose and I am extrapolating from a tiny amount of information and influenced by personal bias, but here we go. First off the story arc. WaW zombies was darn cool but it is my belief that when our group got to Der Reise it was meant to be the end. I mean really, we went to the origin of the zombies. For what it was meant to be the story was done. But it was a really popular game mode so they needed to put it in BOps. So they needed to stretch this thing out. It got really weird and twisted. JMO but w…

So many years on, and still there is a lot about Black Ops III's zombies iteration that we do not fully understand. Specifically, there are several radios from some version of Maxis speaking about a timeline full of radiation, where his children are destroyed before his eyes. Maybe it's a fool's errand, but I want to crack this and figure out the truth of the matter. I think I have some leads as to what might truly be going on. Let's start after Buried. As the timeline states: A key detail in the wording here is that Samantha only reaches out to the Dimension 63 version of her father after a rift opens. This leaves an opening for more to be going on b…

The beginning The beginning, what is the meaning of that: The beginning of the multiverse? Of everything? Of this human era? The beginning of everything is impossible, because there were things before the Keepers: The Aether, the life force, the First One and probably also the Summoning Key. The Keepers, we know they have fought a war against their corrupted selves, later the Apothicans, to finally ascend and become the wards of the multiverse. But what happened before this very first war. Or isnt it even the first war? Lets look at the second sentence from that cipher: If the Keepers lived in the Aether before the Great War, …

Where we left off, Richtofen has switched body's with Samantha, making him the wielder of the zombies and ultimate power, also unraveling Richtofen's master plan. Maxis made you blow up the earth so that Richtofen couldn't cause any "Further Damage". This leaves Takeo, Tank, Nikolai, and Samantha (In Richtofen's body) to remove Richtofen from power and get Sam back in her own body. Now then, originally, Sam was trying to kill all four of them, so the trick is, will Samantha see in a twist to the story that the other 3 were never bad guys, nor a threat, or will she still try to be killing them? And what maps will we be seeing? Mars? That mysterious planet in the asteroid …

"I know the Shadowman is probably talking to you. Don't trust him! He's evil. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. I bet he's saying all sorts of terrible things, spreading all kinds of rumours about me. By the way, I spell rumours with a U. After the O, before the R. That's a nice little easter egg. In fact, it's everything." – Dr. Monty An U after the O and before the R. It has been generally speculated that this refers to the universe existing between Origins and Revelations. We know that Origins was the start of Primis’ quest, and Revelations the finale. But if this would concern Primis’ journey, it would not limit itself to a universe but to the enti…

So we can tidy up the story discussion with a lot of repeated questions, I propose all of the questions be put into this thread and answer them here. If you ask, I'll add it to the list and I and other members will try to answer it Also if a mod wants to merge the topics, then so be it also. There are other story questions but I just posted the ones in the story section. bad karma - What happened to Sam? I feel like the poster girl may just be for dramatic effect. Kinda like that Kino(?) poster where the 4 heroes just looked REALLY off and Richtofen was bald bad karma again - Where to next, and how will the story continue? I am kinda for and agains…

DISCLAIMER: This thread goes into detail. If you want to get an overview of the points I'm making, just scroll down to the bottom where it says "Conclusions". Though I would definitely recommend you read through the entire post to truly understand it.Today I'm going to discuss one of the less understood, but most important concepts in Zombies: the different realms, or worlds, within Zombies. I will also discuss the effect that time has on each of these realms. The three realms I'm referring to are the physical, Aether, and Agartha realms.To understand the story behind Zombies, it's crucial you understand how each of these realms works and how they interact with each other…

We know that the Campaign events happen in the Original Dimension/Dimension 1, but we also know that some events in Zombies' Dimension 1 don't exactly happen the same way as they do in the Campaign. We have the 3 Moon rockets hitting Earth in 2025, and also the destruction of Earth in 2036. As you might know, BO3 & BO4's stories take place in 2065 and 2045 respectively making this not possible to be in the same continuity. We also have a small thing about the possibility of Polonsky surviving rather than Roebuck for the Campaign's, but that is not stated anywhere I can find. Also, the Nuketown in Nuketown Zombies/Alpha Omega being there even though it was presumed nuk…

Hi all. I originally posted this on the callofduty.com community forums, but I get the sense that you fine people take analysis of Easter Egg clues a little more seriously. I've got an alternative interpretation for a few of those morse code messages. My approach was to assume that each of the messages actually served a practical and/or instructive purpose (because developers don't sit around writing morse code into traffic lights for no reason). Here's what I came up with: Help me so I can help you - The messenger has a task for you, and apparently it's in your best interests to complete it. Power is knowledge - Interpreted bluntly, Gain the Power and yo…

An Aetherial "Multiverse" as opposed to the Multiverse Theory This post is intended to explain what exactly an Aetherial Multiverse is and how it contrasts to the Multiverse Theory. It is broken down into parts, 1: What is Aether?, 2: The Multiverse Theory, 3: My Time-Travel Paradox Theory, 4: An Aetherial Multiverse, and 5: How the two differ. 1: What is Aether? What is Aether? In greek mythology, it is the upper air that the gods breathe. It has also been used as an explanation for how things can move through a vacuum. But in CODZ, it is something else entirely. We had seen the word used many times throughout the early years of the st…

First, I will start with Blundell's phrasing. NoahJ456 ZnS reveal stream: 14:52- "We're talking about multiverses... we're talking about the fracturing of time." Notice he says multiverses as opposed to multiverse (plural not singular). "The fracturing of time", you will see how consistent of a theme this is. 15:15- "...with the split universe, multiverses, (the) gang traveling around (with) the use of teleporters, and so forth. All these aspects are shaping the maps and shaping the worlds. You can't really think of it in a contiguous way..." "The split universe" singular? ... Why? "Multiverses" and plural aga…

This is a very complicated theory, so please listen closely. I will give a short synopsis on the zombie storyline, then add it onto my theory. The Zombies Universe. One of the most complicated ones in video game history. Now, I'm going to give a brief opening by telling about the end of the Zombies timeline. Origins is the very last thing to ever happen in the entire storyline. If following the easter egg correctly, you free Samantha from Agartha and give her the ULTIMATE POWER, causing her to re-write time, history, and space, recreating the world around her. She brings her father, her dog, and her world back. She even creates a friend to keep her company, Edward Ri…

"Stormbound" by Kevin Sherwood is a song that released with the Chaos map "Ancient Evil", and for that reason it has been viewed as being intrinsically tied to the Chaos story along with "Drowning" and "Mystery", but I think there's another way to look at the song. Kevin is no stranger to double meanings in his songs, with some meanings sometimes only becoming apparent when looking back years later. I think it is worth re-examining these songs through the lens of the Aether story as well, especially considering that this very song is referenced in "Alone" which follows the Aether story. "Stormbound" in particular has many elements that can tie it to Aether very nicely, an…
