The dream has come true! My good friendo is now red! Sniff..I remember when you were wee little member. :'( Congratulations friendo!

I was once in the meth business. It was awful. Half of these are commonly-mentioned things that really need no iteration for the 100th time, and others are loosely-based opinions that didn't warrant itself in a thread. But emphasize #1 more so nobody can ever say it again.

Cheers to a long and good year! Let's toast to another great year in 2015! :D

Welcome to the family, friendo! Enjoy your stay, and happy slayin'!

@Flammenwerfer A long stretch, but you're our only hope!

@the_clay_bird We'll probably impose some kind of round limit. For instance, anything beyond Round 70 would require video proof. If you're on Black Ops II, theater mode should suffice. Live streaming could also be counted as video proof given that you had at least one viewer who can support the high round claim. If no proof can be given for higher rounds, then it just can't be added...unless a note is made that the round is questionable [the area would be denoted with a *]. Anything less than that round will just require an end-game image and/or video. I would like to think that our community is very honest with leaderboards and personal records.

It's fair play in my eyes. Glitching is going into a "dead code" spot that prevents zombies from harming you (i.e. lighthouse front door glitch, Moon's PhD Flopper corner glitch) or something that was purely not intentional and is a fault due to the coding. With this, you're doing something that's a little more innovative and unique, without disrupting the scripting flow. You know that an excavator was made to slow down your routes and possibly stop your movement. An astronaut (like any other zombie) likes to follow you. Put the two together, and you've created a man-made prison with the mechanics STILL being utilized for its purpose.

@Tac That would be a very long and standing organization. I would've thought that Germany's fall in World War I would cause the group to shrink back and become quite private. Now ultimately, failing to ensure the motherland a victory would cause Group 935 not to produce anymore variations of Wonder Weapons; hence, they stuck specifically to just manufacturing weapons for the time being. Although I personally believe that Origins was not the actual history of the entire Zombies storyline, I do believe certain aspects such as that to be considerably true. Whether anyone considers Origins fully canon or not, Der Riese was a weapons manufacturing factory from the entire get-go in order to support the Germans in their endeavors. It wasn't until later that they had to resort to slightly hasty decisions, such as receiving funding from Adolf Hitler and possibly outside organization in the Third Reich to continue their research.

@Stop mocking me0 I actually mentioned it after detailing Faraday's life: I said fly as a generalization, I'll admit that. I got so excited piecing the two together that the word just slipped right out of my fingers.

I did some researching with @Tac on vril and came across a very surprising discovery on Faraday's relationship with vril energy: http://thirdreichocculthistory.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-vril.html The excerpt containing the information is here: Although Faraday doesn't specifically mention vril, he insisted that several forms of matter consist of the same origin. It's very plausible that he was aware of vril's power and assumed that if the fictionous energy was actually true, then hypothetically, all variation of matter were composed of vril. I decided to rejuvinate this topic because it sheds a lot of light in Faraday's involvement with Buried, since vril energy is very similar (if not identical to) ethereal energy. And we've come to know that the Paralyzer itself runs on ethereal energy.

When looking into the [Moon] Easter Egg steps, it's noted that the Focusing Stone's energy becomes focused within the Vril device. The device itself is nothing more than a container that can hold such tremendous energy without being obliterated. With what @Matuzz said, it was used to swap souls once the MPD went online. What we do know is that Richtofen - as an overlord - has the power to teleport people (such as moving the N4 crew from Hanford to Shanghai), and that he's omnipotent.

Welcome to the family officially then, friendo! It's always awesome to get back old school members, and never a moment too late or soon either. Hope you stick around, and happy slayin'!

Scotland then, eh? @Hells Warrrior get a load of this friendo! Looks loch ye can finally start a scottish crew oan CoDz! Welcome to the family, friendo! Any vinyl collector is a definite friend of mine. Enjoy your stay, and happy slayin'!

I'm assuming you're specifically talking about Call of the Dead, and not the entire storyline itself. Since y'know, you're talking about George Romero and all. In the intro, the cast makes it clear that it's no longer being a movie. The weapons are all real in the cutscene, with the shotgun Rooker had was probably just flare-esque munition. Romero becomes what he [theoretically] is filled with both Element 115 and vril energy; hence why he cannot die and has a strange transition between human form and zombie form, unlike anything we've come across. On top of that, he can recall his memories of the cast and even communicates like normal, except with a booming voice.

@GRILL I've always been a quality vs. quantity kind of guy. For criteria, I'm not sure if the number of years a person has been registered on CoDz (not to be confused with active years) is a considerable factor. I only say this being we definitely have Legends [in my eyes] such as @PINNAZ and @Hells Warrrior who have provided tremendous work despite only being here for a fairly short time compared to other Legends. Now for Veterans, I can definitely agree we may need to do some number hunting. Brains could be an option but I'm worried that it's not entirely dependable because we barely re-introduced it so everyone is fresh on Brains, and we're still struggling to find common ground with what kind of posts to give brains...though I think that will improve over time. To me, being a Veteran sounds like a long-standing member; a CoDz Grandfather/mother, if you will. And if that's the case, years + brains + UotM definitely works.

The backstory of a new map is crucial for me. Hell, it's what even got me into Zombies in the first place. Just realizing that there's a story behind why the map is where it's at, with the playable characters, and choice of zombies gets me excited and really thinking.

Welcome to the family friendo! Glad you came as a returning slayer! I know that feeling all too well, as my sole interest in Zombies started with the Easter Eggs. Enjoy your stay, and happy slayin'!

Ja, Hanford, Washington.

Things to know? - Get the Golden Spork. It will take you some time but totally worth it since it's a OHK for 30+ rounds. - Hell's Retriever is badass, and so is its upgraded form, the Hell's Redeemer. - Avoid looking into the sky with a sniper rile on the rooftops (where the plane is). - Free Blundergat by achieving all five crystal skulls hidden around the map + You don't even need Afterlife for it; just throw your Retriever/Redeemer in the spots they're usually at. - Deadshot Dai

Glad to have you back friendo! I will definitely be seeing you on the battlefields once more in a different dimension.

Any chance you could post it here? Perhaps there is also a cipher that can decode it.
