Zombies,yeah really guys come on, reason why I am not touching that issue with a ten foot pole. Why couldn't you do a failed state RP. government collapses, economy collapses, people form groups and tribes, start killing eachother, civil war breaks out, The rest of the international community comes in and sends a peacekeeping force, but zombies, you guys went a little crazy with that. |

The disease described sounds a bit similar to rabies. I can live with that. 'Zombies' is just a colloquial term for them I guess. |

The explanation that Demoness gave more than justifies the setting. They aren't truly reanimated corpses looking for fresh brains to feast on, but a parasite taking over an empty shell. A scientific approach as opposed to something supernatural. As Melbergia stated, "zombies" is purely colloquial for the victims, because the victims are in fact dead, not undead. |

To respond to some of the comments: My preferred suggestion was a failure of state or an internal emergency, but this was what was voted for. I'm a little put out because the people who generally voted for that explanation ended up not sending any forces. As for them being zombies - that's simply the term that's being used as shorthand. It's based on a RL parasite, which is linked in the OOC explanation, and combined with some RL medical conditions (meningitis symptoms, for example). As Rahu said, I went for whatever is scientifically more realistic, despite loving zombies, because this is a realistic setting. Most of the RPs treat the infected as simply that - infected with something highly contagious. Some players (or perhaps nations) decided to treat them as already dead and when you have a whole nation that is possibly decimated and needing to be killed in order to save the rest of the planet, that may possibly be the best approach. However, the victims are not physically dead (yet, though they may be brain dead) and are certainly not reanimated. |

Okay im jumpin into this waaaaay to late to take part in it, yet ELE will supply funds to any of the major "ADATTA" allies and of course to Demoness, you has become a strong ally (in the view from ELE, not so sure if Demoness sees it this way) as for legal resons, ELE does not want any type of economic gain, yet ELE does want to see Justosia become stable. very OCC, similar to what ELE did after the great hesperian war, excet we just provide the money the other nations can fight over justosia, had BIG fights with him... any way... |

Hmm... Honestly, I can't remember where we left off when you left, though I know at least two of my characters love your country. :-p So we can always start over, if necessary, or assume we had strong ties. Does this mean you're back then? |

Sorry to derail, but I have another question. What do we call RL languages here? Are they still English, French, Spanish etc? |
