How about this. The rep payout for missions could be drastically reduced, so
that if you survive and that's all, you get refunded the rep you put in--and
that's all. You get huge payouts for turning in crates, and good payouts for
zombie kills too, and no payouts for truck sitting.

hia, dennis, yeah i know its bad. and i agree. don't hold back on
stopping them by banning or any other way you feel would be useful in
stopping them. the missions are no harder, and i can say this from
experience. after all, i am the one that normally does all the dam
work while they sit around and whine! ....
so i think i would notice if a mission were harder. lol
you know, on such topic, i think its time i start going in to
missions, and picking up 5 crates, ... and thats it. protesting
picking up more till the other have found at least the next 60 or 70
percent. lol. getting sick of them relying on me totally when i go
with them.
kai i think has been doing the same. maybe i am just to nice for my
own good. ehehe

History and modern science are filled with definite proof that
perception affects reality. By that, I mean that people see and feel
what they think to be true. Psychology is my bag, as it were, and I
want to offer an example from my field.
There was once a school with about six hundred students in attendance.
One day, about three quarters of the population of the school,
including some teachers and other staff, simply did not show up to
work. In fact, they all called in sick. They all had fevers from about
100 to 101 degrees fahrenheit. When the sickness was further
investigated, medical experts, fearing some sort of local plague,
found no evidence of sickness. What had happened was this:
One of the teachers had voiced a fear to another that they would
become ill, because it was "that time of year." Some students
overheard this and thought they would become ill, because "maybe there
is a sickness going around." They told others, and eventually,
students and staff convinced themselves that they were sick. They had
symptoms. They weren't faking it. The power of the mind is that great.
Not only are stories like this littered throughout history, other
stories are true, as well. Some people experience paralysis in a limb
because they used that limb to commit a crime or do something against
conscience. Others gain the strength to lift a car because their
friend or themselves are in danger. Some people say "Mind over
matter." The truth is, it's pretty much right.

You have no idea how big a problem this is, Dallas. Rumors that don't
even make sense can be hugely damaging to a game, and for the life of
me I don't understand why players do it. Sometimes rumors start for
things that are clearly impossible to anyone with more than three
brain cells, and circulate for months. It doesn't have to make sense
as long as it makes a good soundbite.
I wish Jeremy the best in dealing with it, and can only offer the
advice to shut it down hard and early, and don't be afraid to kick or
ban persistent rumor mongers that won't listen.

they do not seem to be to me. lol.
think peoples own minds play a huge part in all this. in how they
perceive things.

most of the things that go on in my head are).
Beware the Grue!

While you're at it, why not ask him to include a grue? Attacks
quietly
when the lights are out, simply stands around a growls when they are
on.
Hard to kill, easy to miss.

Wow, what a game of chinese whispers.
I'm glad however growling will be back, I've been having a bit of
trouble
with wasting amo due to distance or mistaking whether zombies are in
front or behind, and growling will help a lot with both of those
things.
As to slow zombies, you should create a new type, the sloth! super
slow,
but always changing in form as it oves sinse it's a huge pulsating
mass
of flesh that nobody can quite agree on what it looks or sounds like
or
even what it is :D.
Beware the Grue!
