Hey guys, thought I'd drop my offer into the mix.
I used to work on Runescape for Jagex as a content developer, writing and coding quests. I also did some voice acting work for some of their mobile games. I can't do engine coding as Runescape uses a propitiatory scripting language.
So if you need someone with content development experience, voice acting ability and who has worked in a professional MMORPG studio, drop me a msg. | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzZFJzMEhVY0JoRVQ0TlRRZkVtSWxSN1Exd1cxcFZaejIxTFRzS1c2eDFPUTdhdkNib29xQ0dpWld4aC1rZ3MxMHZDMGh3cC1XdWNPRGNLR3MtUVFDSnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqUi1mLVRKMGEzemNicUs1ZUtzUnZDOHhqNGthZnBmWWZCY0J4SWxReWp3M3VLNnUyOHEzdURfVXFGa3B5a0tiSjFGaGZERVkzV0ZNRktfU3dwSGZwRTd0WXRmQ05qZy1PdklwNWZmSVVpR3g1U0dobkV4bXFjMVlqb1p2UktrRWVVaGVacWdXa3NsdTkta3dSN285RlBkN2Q5X1ZVaW9uTXpKMGFzTVRaVGFraE5yRFl3ZXQwTnFOSHJrdjdFa2NNZTc5VGtDX25iQXY5TWNJY2h6NUVKQT09 |
Not sure how you guys' plan on character customization, but a person's starting weight should affect the player's movement (walking and sprinting) speed and stamina level (how long they can run/swim/bike).
Physical activities like running and swimming should increase the player's stamina over time, so the player can sprint longer. Also jumping, the height of a player's jump should also be an attribute, which uses stamina, this could be a hidden attribute. Imagine jumping from roof top to roof top in a city, some jumps are easier to make, while others are harder.
Calorie intakes should also have temperately and long term affect on your base physical attributes, if a person haven’t eaten in 3 days, the player's walking speed should decrease, stamina at 10-20%, has a chance to blackout, etc. And the person should also lose weight. On the flip side a player can gain weight, fat in this case, if a player has a calorie surplus and not getting enough physical activities. Gaining muscle is also possible with the combination of right calorie intake and physical activities.
I think this could be implemented easily if the team taken action early in the development stage. Every food item has a defined amount of calories. If not enough maintenance calories (varies with player's weight) are consumed then their will be an effect on the player. I can provide you with a formula of calories macro if interested.
Anyways, just some thought to add another layer of uniqueness and complexity to standout from other rpgs. | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzdTBLN05GZF9wM2xiOUxENmhLc2ladXZLNUZOVFpSSUJmNExwV1EyWmlIaVM2eUxmemQ5MVNFb0Q1QnppbGl4T1MzNk5hYVdVTDl4QWY4UEVtOGh0T3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqaFdaZnEyTGROV3ptX2N0YjVXdnR0b21CSElsMm5qcEZXSXFtRTBQZ0FncGRXRTNhVGV5S3Y1UVk0TzM0djVselZEMjdIWVFjYkVXR2J0NHBJZzZudDhJSE1HRzZWSzNsRmR2eE13Si1pd0kzMXdmR0hNZ3BUZW5xVXF0QjBJZnl4OGotX19xVVZWcnpsMVlrWjZhaENvV2RoMHRsdU9INUxzRmpnem1jQU44RHUxMlhzOThXZzdKbWlGMHRqcjB6Q3VhalhLbWs1MUM4eUwtdjBTeTZXdz09 |
This may be impossibly difficult, but I'm not a game dev, so I really don't know.
It would be very cool if for maps in the game you ripped data from google maps/earth and made the cities in the game cities from the real world. Where houses existed you could drop in various generic "interior" designs you had made, and where retail stores existed, you could do the same (replace all Walmarts by gigantic Z-Marts, full of game-relevant objects and supplies).
When a player started a game, he could pick his REAL address, and begin the zombie apocalypse from his own home. He would already know the area: where gun stores are, where grocery stores are, the best ways to get around street-wise, etc. This would allow players to live out the zombie apocalypse fantasy they've always dreamed of. Depending on the game structure (MMO, otherwise,..), you would even know where your friends (who are also playing) are, and try to find them and take shelter together.
It even sounds reasonable to start with a couple big cities (you can play in LA or NYC for example), and over time, as the infection spreads, you release new maps (new cities) as they become "infected" in real time.
I'm sure you have a plan in mind already, but thought I would share my idea. | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzdVJ1VDdmdDV5SGVSdFA2aUV6Ty1leWEtTVBtV1QzNWNiOENUTjZnSEJaUXNPNFVscHdBYnZNUDRhT3R4R2RuQ1BZMUZYXzdBY21ROUdjMVpQMmJHWkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqWkZmWWJ6aDExV3RzdUdncXJQU05UZ1FYRFprNHBVUjBpWTV5bzZWb2NhcFpIdjY4dTJKdXlxV3FMV2tUNE9RNGlQS0dxcHVlMy1CbVZZR2V6ajNfdVBXeXJSRTZ0MEx3S1hrb1ZxU0syMGhpWUJGS1prT3JVMzE5MDU1eVZjWlRVc2hMNV9OeWhadUtLNFhDdklYLVBtTU5kWXVmeHRnRUdTX2VnVzB5M21iNGptVTh6RDBoOHgxZ3d3NmQxZ3hf |
I have an large network of people willing to help out with anything, anytime.
edit: fellow Vancouverites, I'm happy to help coordinate if you want to join in and help out. | r/atheisthavens | post | r/AtheistHavens | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzOXB0Z2dYX0VqTWF4YkNsc1dfUVNYZEFUSUpfVzBjd2FvMW5OREFrUTBJY1htbUF3c3JveUpoYjRDQ2kxcWJXbThfbFFtY1B2OVJxVEVCOTVkQWhRTEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqY1RmZXJLMllJVDBEMmdPbktJX1R6VTlZaUtacjVuMWkyTFdJOGZWMHFjNnBnOHhUSml0aThMbVloTXpvVHlvcEVXVjhXbTZkNUJ0N1BmQnVXWW83QVRjOUllN0tmNWh2UHU3b1BEZl9oNno5b2o1V3JBWmlXV3BrWmxLd1FFVmFiRDRqcDEtZmlvd1NzejJhVTgtc2E5Y0pmRExYR2Jsc29iRHh2aVRfVEpRPQ== |
This is partially inspired by a post here and partially by Fallout 3 where the player has the ability to listen to an in-game radio station. I think it would be neat to have such a capability, where there is (one, for at least a bit of realism) a radio station within the game.
However, here's the catch: it's a real radio station. We could set up an online radio station^1 that plays either music from current times or from whenever the zombie apocalypse happens and music stops being made^2 .
There would be legal problems with actually playing real music, but I believe we could get a legitimate registration for fairly cheap^3 . Alternatively, as I said in the 2nd footnote, we could have redditors compose music for the game.
Other things: The DJs would roleplay. This makes sense because we want the game to be immersive. There's a problem with this, of course, which is that we'd need to actually get DJs to play 24/7. Alternatively, we could just record each hour and, should a radio spot be vacant, we could just use recordings that occur each day. (Example, 7-9 PM EST happens to be empty and we can't get a filler, we could use the recordings from 1-3 PM of the same day)
SO THIS MIGHT BE A TERRIBLE IDEA. Who cares? We'll have fun with it while it lasts.
Does anyone know how to do this? Will someone help me out/DJ/record music?
Footnotes:
1. We could do this right now. In fact, it would be better to have the station up and running well before the game actually comes out to build up hype/get the DJs ready for the actual release of the game.
2. Or we could have some bands perform music particularly for the radio station and get paid--or not. I could get my band to record a few songs, for sure, and a lot of people have volunteered their music.
3. IIRC, the license to play unlimited music as a radio station is roughly $300, but I heard that from word of mouth.
Appendix: I'm aware of the problem that the radio wouldn't be playing when disconnected from the internet. We could have cached recordings (like every other in-game radio) or we could have just static to lighten the load on the hard drive. | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzR0tkLXpnUnBtczFwYXNicE8xbXRqVDhJOWVqQ3cwQlBGU3JXZW1VUEM1S19DYTdPbl9yaVZEWHFXVFFKT3lRTHZUdXZud1BwRG1XRHNwZy04SGhJQlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqWGRYbUNKbjh1dEpUNDY3eHF5eUlKYlR1cG9lOXZYY2I5SUtOWlNKQk1KN2prNlJvWTktT0tLZW9MMmprZFd6eWNzZkl4NE1pV2lCcHRUa3l5MllFXzBneW1vVDBiUGZRd3d4REMxSHR2eG90TVVjdnJtNVhaQ0VtR2dQdzhqUktvTUN5SWFxZXRRSXo2NkV5dGFxcWthQlByenNKRFZQRFJDT3FtX1dZWDhBPQ== |

I realize that there are a lot of new applicants, and the experience level was said to be generally in college or recent grad. I'm curious on the team experience that the leads have. This seems like it will be a large game and need many people, but will the leads be able to handle it? On the forums on GameDev.net, people recruiting need to provide information on previous work. It gives confidence to those supporting the game or wanting to spend their free time to work on it. So I'm curious as to what the leads have done in the past, what size teams they have worked on or managed, and will they be able to handle the size of this large team. I want the game to succeed, but I don't want to get my hopes up if the leadership isn't able. I'm not saying that the entire game quality and progress depends on a few, but these few will have to organize and make sure work is done with many people over the Internet. They are vital to the success. | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzcVhpTER0N0NNV2EyZUVfZEw4U2JrcVpsOVVaZ2pfYjNCaWwwRTFJN21BQ2xtdEx6S2pKbHRYLVpNQWxfXy1nY3MzenZ3YnpoNHNFdGx0bDY2WVAtZEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqWWpIRUF4RkRTVXNyXzltYmhsMU9ucjJDd0R5NDNCcFpUdVhBekRWRXFpeDZybHRhQ2xPdXg4QkN6SlpKcmJYVVFBRGdUYURiaDhMRDJ5SEsxa0VQWVUtSUZxMjBYVTdfeTE0cmIwUnd1b3hLdVBtTzVJZ25aWDNpNV9UdXl0RmhKV19VNF9nMUt3WTR0cWFhQWlPMzZvWVhPOFRQa2kzcnl5V3hYMTAyYlN6eEVVd28xclhYNVNpX3IxaDhTbkFQZmVmWG9DWXNseVU1cGM1Uk1BWEd1UT09 |
What started the plague of mindless, flesh eating creatures?
Will other things besides humans be infected, such as dogs, birds, insects?
Will zombies, still be a formidable opponent even their limbs are no longer attached (Dead Space type of deal)?
Will the infection only be through liquids such as blood and saliva, or also through air?
Will there be any cure?
How long does it take for a newly bit human to be turned into a zombie?
Are the zombies going to have anything mutated such as in Resident Evil, or are they going to just be walking dead?
What senses will the zombies still have? What would they react to most?

I love these ideas coming in, here are some questions with ideas.
Duration of the game:
What happens if you kill them all, how are more created?
What if whenever you died there would be a ai zombie version of you walking around?
Weapons:
as I said in another post weapons could be improvised, ie. machete, shovel, bat, etc.
Obviously having hardware and gun stores would be available.
NO DEAD RISING COMBO WEAPONS. If anything make them plausible.
Zombies:
What caused the outbreak? Virus zombies? already dead, out of the dirt zombies? Both?
Something got into the water therefor infecting the soil?
Their health could be gaged by what kind they are, weak ones would be the living dead as their flesh and organs have already decomposed. Then stronger according to how they were as humans nothing more. There has to be a variety in the zombies because it would be fun to have strategize how to kill them, "kill that one with the shotty" or "shoot this ones legs first"
Animals:
Are they immune?
Multiplayer:
I do like the idea of classes, doctors, mechanics, etc.
Would have to have a limit of them as their can be so many, just the basic ie. a "juggernaut", medic etc.
Health:
realistically it would be almost impossible to heal unless you had some sort of antidote. Unless we vote to make it so legit you get bit and you will die/turn. In that case when bit or scratched or whatever will affect how your health degenerates, your walk, & vision. Include some flashes of rage.
Death:
Respawn? In a sandbox game that would be best.
Plot/Missions:
Sandbox games can be boring if there are no side missions. Easy, a survivor needs help.....
Setting:
City? city with suburbs? Or a mix.
I would like to see some kind of fortress customization.
example: As you walk around you see a building/house, clear out building of zombies, then set up shop. (be hard in multiplayer as there would be buildings taken everywhere.....) Still a good idea.
Input?

North-central part of town, relatively close to 281/1604. One bedroom apartment, can provide a couch to sleep on, food to eat, and an ear to listen, plus limited transportation (less limited if you pay the gas).

I'd avoid public schools like the plague, anyway. If you have a certification like CELTA, you might like to try targeting adult populations. Adult education schools can hire you according to their own criteria, and you could also advertise for tutoring. You'll just have to make sure that you're in a city with a large immigrant population, such as Los Angeles. | r/tesl | comment | r/TESL | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzendsczdxVGhjTi00dlNUTlM2Y2lwZkFHT2FkME1PN0liUHBad2xoUWI5WFFVY0hMbU95UTRBbEZna2QwME9DSVl0djcxVVhUU0hFd180T3V5SG45N3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqVk9ONEJVS21mZHZXZVpLV3IxMmcxWmdCeEt4d3VpeFpTcUdCVHRwbGpFclNPWi1UbDZaQkNZYVpheGFsQXEwS1RnMmpqakVjRk45RHFIX3VYcGtSeHFXRUNFT2g1YVVoSW5QVmREUUVEenFLMDYxbThjRDVHR3JlSzhzd09SaUNRbE1DdnA5MDBjM2VjNkEwRkNEOERERHlUMHIyYWF0WWtzRHM3UU1IaWV3cGhES190UHZ3Szl5VlhnQVN0SHBC |

I don't mean "present day" or something, but more:
How long after infection would the game be set?
The reason I am wondering is that I feel like the environment would be quite different depending on how far along in the apocalypse it is set. Things like physical features of houses would be changed of course, but also variable equipment like condition/availability of weapons and condition of zombies.
This is speaking out of curiosity from someone who lives in a rural area and knows that there would be quite a lot of resistance originally (aka, a shit-ton of firearms available) but would be interested in seeing how the time after infection begins would effect the game/environment. | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzTjJOQm1nN2JzNURXbGVzOG1kdWtmV1JoMzhTZ1NkQmZUbVpCd014OTREM2lBRUxsTmRaamtfV2xWaGVlRjdpUThFSUk5R1pnY21zcm4tN0gxeW1QUkZMRFRhZ3Y4cThsR1Bzd3ZkV0NNQW89 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1Zqa2tfdjJRbGl0TGZ0MTJGVDRmaXhCMWVOTjlaZjZaZmZXUnAtQXZKQnFuemNHN0RVYWxmTURNbU9QaHVxQVRLTGdGTzZpa29keWUwQks0eDdPT0QxSlRvWHhSNnRZX01qWk9mVUZMc1lnaG93Rm9nRlUxWml2dEluZ1MtMEpZaFJmaWxtLVM1eE9jbUhMLS13U3N1V1ZYNzJNMm9LRldKMW9OOW5rem5MVVBmeTBHUDcyaHhhUmxPVmxuWUcxRWtH |
Yeah, yeah, I know that you guys plan on using Unity, but hear me out.
If you use the source engine:
1.) Distribution is free.
2.) It's very versatile
3.) Great physics engine
4.) No loading screens
etc.

every action should result in sound. every sound should be an indicator to zombies of your location. make it serious. accidents -- like bumping over a trash can -- should make the player's heart stop while he strains to hear if the persistent zombie moaning is getting louder, and from which direction.
rolling a shopping cart full of scavenged goodies should strain every nerve and make you check around corners before returning to the cart to push it through an intersection or past an alley. and then when you spot a zombie along your path, it's time for a decision: forget the cart and creep home safely, or get ready to push and sprint, bringing a horde on your heels.
the extreme that could be good or bad: build a stealthy character, maybe it's possible to creep through a crowd of zombies, very slowly. zombie-sight would make this impossible, but you could still creep behind a zombie that's distracted if you're quiet.
smell could be another proximity indicator, but there's also a time element. perhaps if you spend a lot of time in your hideout, or frequently take the same route between two destinations, the "human stink" builds up and zombies will start aggregating like ants to a scent trail. | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzUmM2NF83S1dUUkFFakQ5ZkFOVmpvb1dsWEozS1hOZVB4QWdZQTN0dllnLUFsRllZUm04TExob1ZfOEZvNmdIWkw4SWlrdXFXSEZicDRjcGVnQ1VRTkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqN1dOVUc2amNEdHQwVXNIOWtLYVFKMUJFcTJzTHpMRW9ocHVQS1BGUUNGTG01UHV2bDdPLWdMVTV4Y2tIamNIanFUeUlHOHdWUTVhdjlUQUdOcThjeHJaaEVZaDg1YjNaSE1uQ1ZQSnI1amhEM0ZnaEM5NDBEVUJJQkpOM1lRN2ExVU9rS3Iwbk8yTE82a1U2cG1aUFlLcktFdC1BYzRpaGVCdkcxQTZPMEIwVzlCeG43UzNvX3BndVhfWUtfbDNtNFNSd2hYcXVIVE1jMndmQ1ludF9sZz09 |

SURVIVOR ZERO FAQ
-Engine-
Unity
Engines such as UDK or Source aren’t optimized for large worlds. It lacks proper content streaming, so if you walked from one area to another, you'd have to face loading screens. Unity lets us load in parts of the map as you go around, in a separate thread, so they'll load just out of your view as you get closer to them.
-Support-
Windows/OSX
Unity allows for a lot of support on a variety of devices, including Mac, Xbox360, and mobile devices. The Unity team is working to add in Linux support, so that is a possibility in the future as well.
-Coding-
We are currently coding Survivor0 in C#
-Why won’t we take your money right now? Are we selling it?-
We currently do not have a business model for the release of this game.
We’d like to wait until we have something releasable before we decide that and/or to take donations; if the team fails to make the game in a reasonable timeframe, we don’t want you to be upset with your donation!
-Whats the character viewpoint?-
We are making this game in First Person View, with similar controls to other FPS games.
-Setting-
the game setting is not taking place in any real world location. It is going to be procedurally generated: terrain/items/zombies/roads buildings, will be placed logically every time you start a new game. it will mostly be suburban, with a section of urban environment further in.
-What is the game type?-
We’re making a game about freedom, combat, construction, and zombies! As the name might hint at, it is a game that focuses on survival. Rather than be a combat-oriented run and gun game, we are designing it so attacking zombies head on will likely have consequences. Guns will be hard to find and ammo will be scarce. We also want to incorporate different game modes later on, post production to cater to different players tastes and let them truly customize their experience.
-Will there be multiplayer?-
We are aiming to have a server based co-op mode. We don’t know how many players right now, but this is a topic we’re going to keep in mind during development.
-How customizable will the game be?-
We are aiming to make an extensive options menu so you can play a game to your liking.
-is there item crafting?-
Yes. Expect details in the future!
-How far are you in to development?-
Two months
-How can I help you?-
send an email. An application if you will, to [email protected] explain what you are looking to help us with, and any past experience and/or education with links to some previous work. | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzRGE4d2RNa2ptVUVFbnRnaW1xbm1qUDBFc3dvcjlZelhaU2FyWWc0TExFZHlpcDlhS3Rvc1FaWllaZERCZXhMNEpxQ2NaempvUGZ1WFM0R3Qyc2NNV2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqYVRlZ3RsMVk0a1VHck9meUkyblNnbWZMSmxvLVVNQ2staFpTVTNNSWV5Rk5pejYxQVZ1empLYkFGdUUtYWY5ZndzLUI2Ym1ESUVMc3oyaW5haWtvbHRVYTFFN3pRRDlZVFNQbG9xUWlHSWZEbU5TZ3VaMzFIWEdXX1pRSVpTRDk2UEVXXzNzcnJvcWVhcVVGWVJUS25oQ0FEUmdpOXROQXN4bWstcmVDT25BPQ== |
Will this be implemented? For example, if I am personally surviving zombies, I made my own version of zombie armor. It is not really armor, but more of a zombie suit to help protect myself from those soulless bastards. Now, in this game, let's say I somehow get into a fight with a spitter (a zombie that spits blood at you to infect you), and I am wearing enough protective gear on my face to where all the spit does is messes up my vision, then I should be able to get away, or at least try to. Now, impaired vision is probably super complex, so I am not saying put that in, but maybe protection against zombie blood for what I am wearing could work.
Maybe I am wearing a thick winter coat and I get zombie blood on myself, it won't hit my skin, so I am safe, but if I am running around in a tank top and get zombie blood on my arm, well, the human body absorbs liquid, so I would be fucked.
I am just thinking, instead of going super advanced on it right now, maybe stats on each piece of clothing would work awesome.

I have a simple form that I am trying to get to process on the same page.
The form looks like this:
<form name="contact" method="POST" action="mailer.php">
<fieldset>
<p><label for="name">Name</label><br />
<input id="name" type="text" name="name" value="" placeholder="Name" /></p>
<p><label for="email">Email</label><br />
<input id="email" type="text" name="email" value="" placeholder="Email" /></p>
<textarea rows="5" id="message" name="message" cols="5" value="" placeholder="Please type your message"></textarea>
<input id="Button1" type="submit" value="Send" />
</fieldset>
</form>
My jScript looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript" >
$(document).ready(function() {
$('form[action="mailer.php"]').attr('action','');
$("#Button1").click(function(e) {
var name = $("#name").val();
var email = $("#email").val();
var message = $("#message").val();
var dataString = 'name='+ name + '&email=' + email + '&message=' + message;
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "mailer.php",
data: dataString,
alert('server response' + data);
success: function(data){
if(data == "sent"){
$(".message").show().fadeOut(5000);
}
},
error: function(data){
alert('an error occured');
}
});
});
});
</script>
My PHP file looks like this:
<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "BDM Info Request";
$message = "$message";
$from = "$email";
$headers = "From:" . $name;
mail($name,$email,$message);
echo "Mail Sent.";
if(true){
echo('sent'); // this will be the string sent to AJAX handler
} else {
echo('another response');
}
?>
The form seems to process but I still end up at a page saying Mail Sent. I also noticed that an email is never actually sent.

Hi all,
Just had an idea today. I've not read as many books as I would like about anarchism or feminism, and would obviously love to read books that combine both.
I thought it might be cool to have some kind of book club, since this sub-reddit is a bit small anyways. We could pick a book to read, then make a thread about it and discuss it after reading and share our thoughts. Something like that. Any interest? | r/anarchafeminism | post | r/anarchafeminism | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzbThWdlFwY2ZkTzV0TWUwT0lwbUpxdUZCR01sN2hMREZzOGdpM2ROaEtabUpkR3RKX1ZRalBXR0E0THYybHV4R0dnUnB0aUdXS0RzSVR1TGV5akhKR2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqSGJIeFNFQVdRYWprY3EzVTBZQVNrVTE0TDhzLXFTeDduaTRtbEVySGxzZ2l5dzYzOXJqNTBwRks5Vjk2Q0g0OE54czZqRjF3cVlhQ09nNFlaYXktSDdmUlFvNUJQcnRCVV9GNEhXcnE2TEdlY3RxMGJqaXVPRmVvMzYycHYyZjZ0Q1B3RnB6V3FGbk1ENnlqVTlsc25uVWpkSW9oSDBNdF9ENHMyX0RENHlJZnh3c2FCYk5GblRaWU1uYW1MRHlZ |
this is a game about your own personal struggle to reclaim sanity and society in a zombie world. while there may be major decisions you face (perhaps these scale with your rising importance), a game becomes compelling and gripping in the minor, random occurrences.
for example:
- you see a child trapped in an alley as zombies are closing in. do you risk your safety?
- a teary-eyed man holds his wife who's obviously been bitten. do you kill her? will you have to kill him? what if he begs you to do it?
- a hungry and lonely dog barks from the fifth floor window of an apartment complex
- your character is very hungry, and you see a man with beef jerky. maybe you see a kid.
- an injured survivor keeps begging for food
- an injured survivor asks for a bullet
- an alcoholic keeps singing loudly, and zombies start to notice
very important: there should be no global consequence for your actions.
you save the child because it's the right thing to do. maybe the kid likes you. you give the injured man food, but he can't do anything to help you. you don't get any points, and no one else in the world cares about your nobility. or your cruelty.
i'd love a brainstorm here on kinds of events you could face | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1Vzdmo1UWEtbnVSYXZpcVpFTXhWbmlySWljLWFYWDFZakZreGtNM3lDR2IzSTJmQm5pNi0yWE5ELVFLWDlhTkxDMXdSYkZIQ2JEVzJhWlowZVUxVkZkZWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqUDQ3TnhNdGRMRTY1cmExMmk0VThsc1FORFBCRjE2TkZzWnJvZ1lvM2JVbkZ0Uk9IT3JNZ1I1T3luMkJESjNfc3owd0x4OWJYX0hVY202VmtUQnFaTTNPUW0zNFhFTlJJYnlYb2thUTU2VGNoNGVTdzhTVjRPQ3FXbV9PRkFmcXB4YjNXVks3Y3MtUlR5d0dmb3pHVXMtUjB5c3Rta243U1pacl9LNUI4MFpsTzdQS282SXZGZ3o5VEwwWjlqTm41Vk5faGdfOWttR3F6R1A0d3pKb0tTQT09 |

I'm not sure of the plausibility of this at all, but I figured I'd share the idea nonetheless:
Regardless of the transition from human to zombie (dying, quests, whatever), I think that it would be potentially more entertaining to use numerous *weak* zombies in a horde/RTS-type setup as opposed to a single, comparable-to-humans zombie. (Picture a human faced with a dozen slowly creeping zombies that take 1-2 hits to kill and do low but constant damage vs. a stronger zombie that takes more hits to kill and does more damage per swipe)
Of course it could be both systems as a zombie, where you can either have one or the other (for example having a group of coordinated, stronger zombies) but I figured I'd throw it out there to see if anyone else likes the concept. | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzVVBfaVJWQUlOU05ZalMxMWkzNHJ2Wl9XU0RYSDZTeXh4MVRGTllwTzVYXzVUTVdOSXZ4RVk5eEtmUzRGcVZnYTZGQkVXWmMxZnRKM1htLW5PVGR1NVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqWWF5dHNNc05IZ09uZGFkUUN1VWwyUk5Gdll2bFN4YklCYzJMNXZLZnYyek9hZkltY3g5cy03SFNUM1lqUDNxTHZSb3JMcllMX3ltTnFKTUNkMjdzT0t1bG9Ua3lHQmJlOXo2OEw2bWw4dFI2RF9Eby1fYURDMmxDOGt0NjNGX1ZGZUs2NzI5elRTSDhVVDRpbno2dzRlallxeVc3R1F3cXhYZWdCME9tRHhVQ0p2N0c0WU96VWQ1RWFTVVRhbFNz |
I have made a solution that is pretty much identical between blue and red (they just start at different places). When the blue is at the top with a Titanium atom, red brings in the Oxygen atom and blue successfully bonds to it at the same time. When red gets there with a Ti atom, it brings in the O atom, but does not bond. Is this intentional, or a bug?

So, I've been wondering: is the graphics/art style going to be realistic, or more on the animated side? I think it would be great to have it on the realistic side.
Also, will you guys be making it more of a survival/horror type, or just start out with guns and a million ammo?
It would be awesome to make it more of a survival type, but with many weapon/clothing/gadget drops. For example, you can find a badly damaged 9mm pistol, or you can find a fully restored 9mm pistol. Each having drastically different stats (for obvious reasons). Same with clothing and armor.
Last question: will it be a story campaign, or will it just be randomized cities, letting you and your friends explore? | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzdUI1T0I1MXRoQ3ZKSVlmcDVQaWRRU3g5WkVLTlh5aS1PYlJDQW1KR0xYUEM0a3d0WXd0QXNvSWRIbHotRVlvX1M4MnpPcFo5NmFPY1Zoa1JqUW9EREE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqcENiVURpc0ZaalVQYWtfVGdtc0tkQlFPTnM5Ukl2MlpsWlB4eVFJVzhfY19DQ2RGR045QmJna3R6OVhGRFoxcnFvb1FQcjRrUW5FUXZIZktvNS1zQUs5N1BsUUx6Y2xTbDQ3aERDb2NlMkFXVklQbTJpdy1XRTl4YmRNTkZxSVR0bGNzeXRiT2hfbGJ4TnRqRm1CM1lENV9CdUZLTy01bW1ENDROMDVtdlh0VC1Yd1Qtc1lkVHp4cnFqUVFDRTJ6 |

My question is, what are we talking about for insides of buildings? Suburban theme: How many of the houses are accessible to go snooping through? Are we planning on building say, 20 different houses and layouts, and just reusing them so any building is accessible? Or what?
Metropolis: Sky scrapers? I'm dying for some high-style living penthouses to be found and inhabited. Are we thinking just some floors for each building be available? I'd love to at least see a lobby for most buildings.
Mostly I'm curious about how many buildings are going to be built/made for this game, seeing of how large an environment we're talking. | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzdlhsN2JRVmt6SGZBSXpSY3hCaGM3M3lKOUdTazRZUFV5ejItS2Rna24taVhRakx6cG01VFhXdmx4MWd4Ti05UTlQUW1PQjVmOWFjb3cxd1NhQUExOFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqVjFMdVB5cjd4WTV6d0EwV1o1cXcxOFVtNjNiSE1lQlYxVVJNTXhtVDEtVENYVDJ3UkFDRGNVeGw0aFQ1SzBJbHVQY2x0Vkx2TW96WE1lMHBva2dZZWJLYi1Ea3JSdG1YaHBkNkItRGN6ZzNKdlRIX2JaVjFBWXBldzJNRFJhWWp6dGNOcElfOExzb29zLUxhamtMVGJYSlBVcVRPdDdWVUdSb3VSN3IxbjFSdTlieUVrbnBIOER3RVdNbThMTzZz |
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade here but guys we really need to remember to keep reasonable expectations. There are a lot of people on here talking about how they want NPCs and morality systems and a whole bunch of different things which is fine but remember that this is no big triple A game it is a game being developed by a group of Redditers. I am not saying that this means it's not going to be a great game I am just saying this is a relatively small group of people working on this (I wish I was one of them but unfortunately I lack any skills that would be useful in game development) so if you are not helping them out on this restrain your wishlist. | r/survivorzero | post | r/survivorzero | 2011-07-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzLUc4bXFrZ1lFQmZXMC11by1XeDRtWEpfSjJtdU5GLUN4amNTdkpyQk5iNnhPUEdqMVBHVzI1aFhuYkRSTFI0aXl2M0hwTGZoUFRCWHlKckhRWkZKRGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqdVVGMldQM29BWEw2UjZGR1lEUkszWEwwVzdlZjRSM284UXpEVU1ES01ha1hpVFQ4VkswYVZvZ3hEakZkRlFsSUpDZmIwRjkwMnBoZzBCUHFSeW1aN2NUSF9QblZFazZ4YU1NeXp1TXJrVzBqVXBEY3c5OTVpcmxMTVdTQWplbVVEYmtvY1J3RzdtVDVlSjJocGdWNU9IRC12T3BGTlFWQ1hTb19PVm9Dc2I4PQ== |

I've been thinking about how level design would be done, and I think that in order to build a gigantic world of buildings/roads/countryside/interiors, it should be procedurally generated. This would allow a lot of positions and such to be sent to everyone with a little amount of data (just pass a seed for each area). At the same time it wouldn't require a manual hand on every single part of the environment which allows for much more scalability.
As for cities, population sizes could be specified for each one, which would dictate how many zombies, how big the city is, how many houses there are, if there are apartments, malls, big stores, etc.
There is also areas outside cities that would constitute much more farmland and open areas, which would have to be considered.
Interiors are another part that would require a lot of attention, and I think would really add a lot to the game in which every building can be entered, provided you can break down the door.
A large collection of layouts could be created for each interior, that would specify what would be able to be inside each room. For example:
Living room might contain: Couches, rug, counter, tv, table, bookshelf, chair.
A Kitchen might contain: Stove, counters, fridge, freezer, cabinets, table, chairs.
A bathroom might contain: medicine cabinet, bathtub.
Then with the given seed, a room could be generated to contain a set of furniture inside it. Obviously some rules would be set so you don't have a bathroom with 10 bathtubs in it.
Also, each of the objects could have child objects. For example in the bathroom, the medicine cabinet could contain objects. Or on the table a cup of water could be sitting there.

My descent (if you’ll pardon the term) into atheism was relatively painless. There was no huge loss of identity or purpose, no single event that shook my foundation. I had been atheistic in my motives and actions for years before I would synthesize the whole thing. Perhaps this story will benefit from some history.
I was never a zealous Catholic. Church was just what we did on Sunday, and if it left any impact on me through the week, it was only to “be nice to others” and so on. In fact, I went to a Catholic grade school from grades K-7. I was an altar boy, even! I just…have a secular mind, I guess. There was a place in my brain for religion, and that door could be shut fairly easily when religion class or mass was over. Ironically, thanks to a series of truly excellent teachers (something I am beginning to understand that I was exceedingly lucky to have), I have been in love with science and scientific thought since the second grade.
Between 7th and 8th grade, my family moved and I joined a public school, where I continued to have wonderful science teachers (I must thank them some time). The biggest change for me at the time? I could wear *whatever I wanted* to class! No uniforms! Kickass. I joined the youth group at our new (much, much larger) parish. I wasn’t super invested, but I hung around long enough to be confirmed in my sophomore year of high school. By simple coincidence, my de-conversion began in earnest shortly thereafter. By freshman year of college, god was dead. I tell you all this to frame the four events that shaped my eventual atheism.
Event one is perhaps the most important, especially because it happened when I was quite young (let’s say 10-12ish). My dad is actually behind it, but I don’t know if he’s aware of it. At the time, his brother (my uncle) was going through a really annoying born-again phase. You know the type: “Be born again with Jesus or suffer eternally”. My dad disagreed, and used logic to dismantle the position. The arguments are probably familiar to you: “What about a boy on an isolated island with his own religion? What about a dying infant?” My uncle eventually conceded the point and moved back to a more ‘reasonable’ Christian stance.
One day, my dad explained the argument to me. At the end, I remember concluding that the important thing was to be a good person regardless of your beliefs. Our family had chosen to frame our ethics with Catholicism, and others would use other religions/ideologies. I independently developed the concept of being ‘good without God’ while in a Catholic middle school! I’m kinda proud of past-me. That kid was cool.
For event two, we need to skip forward to youth group in high school. One week, we discussed in passing how foolish the Jewish elders were for not recognizing Jesus as the son of God. Several weeks later, the focus was on false prophets who claimed to be the second coming of Christ. I recognized the hypocrisy and thought about pointing it out, but I remained silent. I was left with the questions, though. “How is our treatment of these ‘nutjobs’ any different? Does no one at least investigate them?” and perhaps more seriously “What makes them different from Jesus? Is it just that we think he was telling the truth? Could…could we just be another nutjob cult?”
It wasn’t much of a crisis, to be honest, and I let the questions go, but I became more perceptive to some of the doublespeak and entitlement inherent in religious thinking. I just wasn’t informed enough yet about the magnitude of these issues.
Event three is where I become a functional atheist (although it will be around a year or two before I identify as such) and I discard the biblical God as ridiculous and unjust – a being unworthy of worship even if he existed. In senior year of high school, I took an Anatomy & Physiology class from yet another excellent teacher. The class he taught was wonderful, he was a great mentor, he ran the science/ecology club, and he was a Buddhist. He was among the nicest and wisest people I’d ever met. And my God said he would burn in hell? *Forever?* No. This simply will not do. No just and all-loving God would punish Mr. Ewing. The Bible is not literal truth. I revisited a conversation with my dad that I had nearly forgotten about (as described above) and decided that judgment was based on your actions, not your beliefs.
Event four is ongoing. To finally break with theism, I had to learn more. In college I majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry. I watched various YouTube videos highlighting hypocrisies and contradictions in faith and arguments for atheism (AronRa and Thunderf00t come to mind). I was sort of a deist (or would at least concede that deism was an acceptable position)for a few years before deciding that a god that did nothing was as good as no god at all. The part I held onto longest was belief in an afterlife, but I abandoned that as well. I came to realize that an eternity of *anything* was just about the most torturous thing I could imagine, and suddenly I was okay with the idea of going into an endless, dreamless sleep.
So that’s it. I will say that I am kinder and happier now that I am an atheist. And if anything, the world is ever more glorious. Simply thinking for a moment on the immense complexity of all of the natural laws from evolution to gravity to electromagnetics that come together to make this funny little thing called man? That is a thought more beautiful in its profundity than anything any religion has ever offered me.
Thanks for listening. This is only the second time I've had the opportunity to tell this story.

I've seen a lot of mindblowing videos where people produce incredibly fast or elegant solutions to a problem. However, I also really like seeing some of the completely bloody-minded solutions people come up with; using a dozen symbols to do the job of two, solving a puzzle in 2500 cycles when the average is 300, and so on. Unfortunately, these tend to be a lot harder to find, which I why I'm appealing to Reddit for more.
In the spirit of sharing, [here's Ice To Meet You solved using only the hydrogen input](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=874ZETtL6eA); instead of just fusing the FeO with H to make CoO, I fuse 27 Hs together to make the cobalt, and another 8 to make the oxygen.

*Edit - Thanks for all the support guys. I'm taking some time in between editing my book to write this and I'll continue to post some updates as I have the inspiration. ~Keep on surviving ;)
------
When the last news station went off the air two weeks ago a sense of finality settled over him. Just months prior his life had been *normal*, *repetitive*, and dare he say it, *boring*. Like everyone else he looked towards his future with a longing expectation, hoping something life-changing would happen to him. He didn't necessarily know what that something was, but he expected it to come eventually.
The almost imperceptible static from his radio added a white noise to the dimly lit cellar. He found it the only way he could bring himself to sleep anymore. During his lonely days he would have spent the whole night searching for a signal. Now he felt content to listen to the static and use it to drown out the occasional scream in the distance.
Across the dirt floor he organized the remains of his food stores: a couple cans of green beans, three jugs of water, some dried peaches, and a chocolate bar he lovingly nibbled on when things were at their worst. Somewhere above him he heard footsteps stumble across the wooden floorboards. He leaned over and twisted the nobs on his radio and light, surrounding himself in a cool darkness. The footsteps were awkward and forced, like the person lacked the coordination to control their own legs. His keen ears told him it was one of them. He waited patiently in the dark.
The footsteps continued for what felt like a solid hour before they moved on. He carefully brought light and sound back into his world and gazed across the remainder of his belongings. He figured the food and water he'd be able to stretch for a week or maybe five days, but he couldn't be sure. The only things he was certain about anymore were two undeniable truths. The life he knew was over forever and tomorrow was moving day.
# (Edit: update 1)
He awoke from his nap and slowly drew back into his daily routine. The hand-crank radio, and light, had wound down hours prior and lay against his side for easy access. The darkened cellar he called home, made it nigh impossible to accurately judge the hour. But hours to him were boiled down to primal notions. The light, where he could briefly expose himself to the outside world with a low risk of contact, and *feeding time*, where whether it be a stormy sky, or night, *they* were everywhere. He notioned that the coolness had something to do with their increase in activity. He liked to surmise and postulate different theories as to why *they* were here and why world plunged into the dark-ages again, where man feared most his fellow man. He figured it was important to keep thinking, to keep planning. After-all, he may be the only one left on the planet doing such things.
He turned the crank dial on his light over a few times and gave thanks to the glorious find. Plucked from the hands of a dead girl on Route 32 he didn't give a moments thought to adding it to his supplies. The radio he brought with him all the way from his house appeared in the periphery of his vision. It initially saved him when he heard the tail end of a report that they were spotted in the town next to his. He grabbed a backpack and some food, then sprinted out to his car. There he had his first encounter with one of them. An old neighbor of his, sitting atop his car, hunched over the remains of his dog, pulling the sinewy flesh into his mouth by great handfuls. He sprinted until his legs burned and his lungs failed, but he made it.
In his new home, he adjusted his light and opened up the book “*Survivor*.” He'd found the book in an old camper and thumbed through to the last chapter. Initially, he hoped it would contain some essential tips on how to live off the land, but instead turned out to be a work of fiction written to poke fun at the media personalities dominating the television. How trivial all of those things seemed today. After a little reading, he double checked all of his supplies and categorically placed them into his backpack - all a part of his routine.
The *routine* is what he truly owed his salvation. When all of those around him were losing their heads (quite literally) he'd taken stock in his ability to prepare. Bouncing from town to town he selected the bare essentials from each stop. He listened, and learned, and with each passing day he understood what it meant to be a true *survivor*. He liked to call himself *Survivor Zero*. It was his own little play on words. He believed that to the world around him he was now invisible, a figure which, even when the last human on Earth fell, when the last person was gone, would still remain, because *he* didn't exist. He was nothing. He was zero impact.
With his backpack slung over him, he punched out his thirty pushups in the dark, then stretched his legs. The latch above him creaked open as he pushed back the heavy door. Through practice he could almost smell them by now, and when his head peered over the edge of his hole, he let his nostrils fill with the familiar smell of blood, new, but not *fresh*. He crawled from the dark and shielded his eyes from the sun. *Today will be a good day*, he thought and strolled out into the field.
(Edit 2)
Crispy August grass crunched under the soles of his running shoes. In the distance, a burned out city smoldered against the blue skyline. Twisted plumes of smoke rose up to the clouds as the last of the buildings succumbed to the steady blaze. The smell of rotted flesh occasionally invaded his nose from a wayward breeze.
He kept his eyes on the tree-line as he chewed on a long piece of grass. He knew it only took being spotted by one of *them* to bring hundreds more and that could spell disaster if he weren't prepared. The walking did offer a therapeutic release from the claustrophobic existence he now lived. It also heightened his greatest asset – his legs. Oh sure, you might see someone in the movies go toe to toe with a bloodthirsty hell-spawn and live to tell about it, but that didn't fly in the real world. Try getting yourself in a fight with fully grown, bat-shit insane adult and get away without a scratch. It's like jumping into a river and not getting wet. So when it comes down to brass tacks, you'd better get your butt in gear and haul ass.
The sun beat down on him and a few wispy clouds reached across the sky. He took a swig from his water jug and hitched it back to his belt. No sooner had he swallowed when he saw a man burst through the tree line. The man kept looking behind him and moments later a group of undead chased out into the field. The man tripped and fell, face-first into the ground. His screams abated shortly after they piled on him and a throaty gurgle marked his final word.
*Stupid shit, you never look back when you run. Only way to run is eyes forward, feet stable and arms pumping*. Zero thought, having safely retreated to the trees.
A ways later he crossed over a road. Keeping to the side, he followed it far enough to see a town where he hoped to build another hold out. But first he eyed a cop car, partially ditched into the weeds. He might find something useful in it, so he stashed his pack amongst the trees and carefully crept toward it. His footfalls against the blacktop left a weary feeling in his gut. *You're not supposed to take chances.* But the payoff might be worth the risk.
At the rear of the cop car he found a man propped against the door. The man's face was blistered from extended exposure to the sun. In his lap the man held a black-gripped pistol.
If the man were still alive, and he woke him, he might end up shot out of panic. And if the man were one of them he might end up bitten. He didn't like it. But a gun was like gold and they were few and far between. With his feet set to run he silently reached for the pistol. A swift grasp loosed it from the man's grip.
The man's head swung back as Zero steadied the pistol.
“Shoot me...” the man said in a voice just above a whisper.
*Bullets are rare.*
“Please... do it.”
*I might need the shot later on.*
“I'm begging you.”
Zero returned to the woods and retrieved his pack, walking up to where the man lay against the car. He leveled his arm and capped off one round to the man's head. *Gotta make sure this shit works.* He jogged into the trees heading in the direction of town. If the coming darkness didn't bring them he knew that the gun shot sure as hell would.

I have no experience with organizing this type of thing, and no experience volunteering either (sorry, world!), but I figure I can open up a discussion..
I'm open to basically anything. Habitat for humanity, a massive food drive, an Earth Day - like thing...
So - how about this - if you have a suggestion to make, tell me and I will include it on the list; in addition, list what sounds most appealing to you and if you have any special skills that would help with a certain event.
--**THE LIST OF STUFF**--
1 - Habitat for Humanity
2 - Food Drive
3 - Earth Day
--*Additional Details*--
1 - No comment
2 - The way I see this working is that everyone is assigned a few blocks, they hand out flyers or something, asking people to leave on their porch whatever they could donate, and then come by a few days later to take it to the food bank.
3 - No comment. | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzZ3lNQmJUd2U2ZG5LelhjVVMzdGNvcTdjQnRjUXJNcl9ITnkxQUI1VnVFVzlWZmQ0VzJMRGtreFdDdlg3anFFbUlUUmd2eVUxMFNXY1lDeFRrNV9Fdnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqRU5iRk5VYXRreDl6YjU0QkVXNW9iNjNILVV5NFFuMTBGRkJkcmFSWHlLVFphS2xIX29kY0Z0MHVTSF9YR1g5clpzYVVMaXdLQ1ByZkx5OU4xWFlSU3JUdk1ta25qZHNuVVRKS1NRUlJoN2JxMmdZeldDekxBNzJPck1hUTNKaW5uc09uWGxzb1dSUUljQ0tNeUZXeWNTY1pKVUI0cTZoRnRUNDFMNXRrVm14Y2trUnh1TmZJeEl0SzA3TGlNUWdQ |

I volunteer at the Regional Food Bank every few months, it's really fun and only takes four hours. They love to have groups come in.

Post a charity, along with its scope and location. Let's especially try to help out some existing local and regional charities that don't get enough attention or credit. Optionally, include a few words about why it should (or shouldn't) be supported.
Comment on charities so that we can discuss whether or not they are worth supporting.

So I was curious if anyone wanted to formulate some possible initiative(s) for the mid-Michigan area. This sounds like a great opportunity. Personally I am in the Lansing area, but if anyone has thoughts for other areas feel more than welcome to get the ball rolling.
Edit: Are there any potential organizations that people have in mind to work with? Or maybe even potential ideas that might be outside-the-box type thinking? | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzU01Lb2pBVldPWWs2OVBrM1h0Q2k5UGoxREJJZUZiT01nLXhmbDhmdzh6Rk42VnJXaHdmRzRTd3NfcEd2dWZPY2stRTdSV21DajJFdGpKSndncl9pc1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1Zqd1ZNQXdHLUxxblVDbVhWMnFxemlqZjZDNE1NdmFlbmtFOXlHT0FfVklZd3V4akxyd2psb3ZKcEV3SWVLSDdrSnN0Z2NIc2toM1RnTGhWOXhKbWZZNEIwYmtpaGJDWjVlOERPbXNYOE5JZXJiVV9EWE1uT0gxem5BOHpCOG5iQkt6NTF5cThud0x0NXppTnFKYzV0ektUckNyT0RFYjQ1eW1BeXd1dVh5ekJBPQ== |

[One Brick](http://newyork.onebrick.org)
[NYC Service](http://www.nycservice.org/)
[New York Cares](http://www.newyorkcares.org/)

Any chance of implementing some sort of opencl plugin for level generation to speed things up? i have seen pretty amazing speed-ups with other implementations of it. I am actually teaching myself c++ coming from C# and plan to start experimenting with opencl within the next couple of weeks. Anybody else think it could be a good asset to the game engine?

Hi,
Reddit has decided to effectively destroy the site in the process of monetizing it. Facebook, twitter, and many others have done this. So I used powerdelete suite https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite to destroy the value I added to the site. I hope anyone reading this follows suite. If we want companies to stop doing these things, we need to remove the financial benefits of doing so. | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzVmtxOENHR2ZUM294aWtYUHNDMXJvNVlTaHBqOGhCcFpfT2FUcUZVdUpCSzhLVHVpV2JFdnkxaGFtWlB3WlR6eEtCVzJWWS1ua0p6VGY3eDJUOFhrRVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqcXZiMzBHZ2JqN3FnLW5IbmVuaHItdE1NUUs1MS1aRDViUE1TNy00RVVnc0s0LVcxR0NrQVRacl9vVGdQNmpKdE1EY1VIZWpKdzloMjJTSHNyM2l2bTF1MWZyVmFlUE9aUDVDQ0szNUlpT19OaFphX3F3clpaMmhraU1OdkgzTk9BNEYzOU9xaWZJeVRKOS1QT1MwQ3hBPT0= |

Please understand that most organizations don't really want someone who volunteers for a day. If you want to help, stay committed and keep going back!
The thing is, organizations need to train their volunteers. They need to show you how they do things. But if you're only going there for the day, you are not going to be able to do everything perfectly. A long term volunteer is normally more useful than two new guys, simply by virtue of his or her experience and passion.
It's a little like those people who go to poor countries to try and teach people english. There's no doubt that they want nothing but the best for them, but if you're only going to show up ONCE, they aren't going to benefit. Even if a different group comes back the next week, it's not going to be as beneficial as it could have been - they'll be essentially starting from square one. They won't have the same connection and they'll have to spend time building that.
I realize that I'm probably going to come off as an extremely negative person who has lost his faith in humanity. But I've done a fair amount (not enough) of community work. In Singapore, students have to clock in a certain amount of hours of volunteer work and community service. But this has bred a large number of teenagers who think it's okay to go 'help' for the weekend and then vanish forever. It's incredibly frustrating for the organization: They want someone who keeps coming back, not just because it's more efficient, but because it shows that you're actually committed and not doing this to say 'Hey guys! I did something! Feels good!'. That's not the point of community service or volunteer work. But it's a mindset that's very easy to fall into.
I hope this doesn't put anyone off helping others. I just want to say that you should make the effort to go back. You don't need to be an amazing 100 hour a week volunteer. Just find the time. If it's once a month, then it's once a month - good enough. Commitment is an important thing and the lack of commitment among volunteers just prevents their work from doing even more good. | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzcVN2cDZZUkc3cmRhNi0zX2pEMERCZTZPYVRjUFdvek1wLWgxY1U4c1pOUmplYjVuak96SG9OOXMyWVp4U2Z2Q2FTT0ZDUjJ4dlRYaDNobHpJb2d4aVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqVUl1Q1g4bWhvcmdwY3Vrd1pHRG9uckxTM2ZhbDBGR0dvZHJjdTI4REhtTHpyR3FKNXpvNGhZUnp6VUZDckJBY3BFNjl2RE13YkZCUXlxR0g0eFY1ZUdvSU0xWnh4QU85b0Y0UW5nUWFXMklTRjdHdGoxM1I4UHBGUUluNnE3ZDZJUzNZOVE3eTVHNGxvM2hReC1oQ01ZekJsWk1MS1hqT3hueDBFWlZDNkxBPQ== |

I'm not really sure of the difference between them... I want to teach english abroad (Japan, specifically) But I'm not sure which one of these I need. I haven't been able to get straight answers, so hopefully I'll get some here.
So I want to learn Japanese and get the tesl certificate/diploma. Japanese would of course require university (Right?) Theres only one university around here that offers japanese and a tesl certificate/diploma and it takes like 6 years to get, which is a little more time than I want to spend in university having completed 13 years of school which were really tough for me. Is there a way to get all the requirements needed that doesn't require university? Or at least not 6 years of it? I'm also wondering what the difference is between tesl, tefl, and tesol. Thank you in advance.
I hope everything I'm asking is clear, I'm not great at writing my thoughts and worries down. | r/tesl | post | r/TESL | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzWmc3N09xQUtvLXdsWUlWZDdDeEVhXzFLWVd4MTJzb0ZrQUd0anRWNkN4emFMMkMtR1YyNDIyajAzbGVNZUVTX0xtTXEzTGJnQVcycUFQOGU2dERhU0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqN0d4T1cwMzI5Nloyd0lRODVOVUk0VF8yenF5QkRoNmVobFFud2hmZ214OHdjbm83SXljVmI2OW5vZjdhM0x0ZXJPZjg5SHZGYjNRRVFaUVBBVnZPOWZhNDVYNEpadW9zLXlQTGxoV0o3aEx6Y3Q4amlxQmttSUpBRlhTTk9WOFo0dUhFWGpGeEx4Z3gzOWV0dkV5eXNBPT0= |
Hi everyone,
So, been a lurker around on and off, decided to make a SN name finally and going to also look at several boards online because do need more support than I have right now.
I have had Fibromyalgia for almost two years now. Started with spraining my entire tendon between knee and big toe and now besides widespread body pain I chest pain, TMJ, two bulging discs, and nerve damage in both legs. If the memory issues and concentration wouldn't be enough my level 1 & 2 intermittent edema just went to a #4 all the time edema.
I have tried all the official fibro pills and they didn't work except for Savella. What happened when I tried Savella? I become a complete psychopath and tried to assault my wife while on the beginning getting used to it dose. I also have a genetic blip that makes me very tolerant to narcotics and therefore the 100 mcg duragesic + 30 mg roxicodone x4 barely puts a dent on my pain. It makes it that I can at least get out of bed instead of screaming my head off in bed. Currently my doctors are pretty stumped, doing new tests and all, but currently wishing to try something new in terms of pills to try to at least deal with the pain (I live in NY if that helps any)
Anyways *waves hi* hope to be here more often and glad there is this reddit to post on.

You don't have to even physically be somewhere to help. Pick a cause :) If you already volunteer, you can help recruit redditors close to you to help YOUR cause! There are enough super cool people here to get this going. We can find some worthy causes to support regardless of your race, religion, or any other insanity.
You guys rock. I didn't expect such a huge outpouring so quickly! It gives me faith in humanity.

I mean, I know it's new but we don't want 600 people asking for help with something if they never help back.
I'm all for helping people and I don't even care if I get something back, but I don't like it when people take advantage of me.
So maybe we could make a deal with the person that wants help?
A sort of help-for-help system?
"You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" if you understand what I mean.
Otherwise it really does feel like we'll just end up helping ungrateful people.

During this upsurge of volunteer spirit let me be a voice for the local unsung heroes, volunteer firefighters and volunteer fire departments.
There are plenty of options to choose from that don't involve danger or blood and guts. Many fire departments seek skilled trades to just keep the organization running.
Good with vehicles? Volunteer to keep the fleet in tip top shape.
Good with finances? Become an auditor, follow every penny.
Good with computer science? Most fire departments lack a presence on the web which offers another avenue for donations. Offer to build and maintain a site. Help keep track of people that actively donate and those that might. Keep tabs on member participation.
Good with people? Outreach is a large part of volunteer fire; show up at community events and help spread the word.
Think the only thing you're good at is being loud and bitching? There's a seat waiting for you during budget hearings at city call.
Even if you don't have any skills you think would be of value just go talk to a recruiting officer. If you wish to get into firefighting or first response I am positive the department will either train you or assist in getting you trained. There are plenty of benefits from volunteering. From awesome firefighter tags on your car to help finding a job; we are a family that takes cares of our own. | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzWlR3aHExMmk4VVVPQ2RwaXI4eWRMUUlkb3Y2bF80QWJMT2FGRzRCdEdNU3VTdERmVjFZa1AxNHNSRzlMVHNzc0RZNHR4OFBQN2tpdjBBUUY1S3RVOUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqLU0wQ0JIcGdrclI0U1lPaVlXNlc0anVRcFFQdmtUSXJkN2IwUjIxc3NJUjNtNTBqc3o4d0lZY2pFNk03enNXQlZrZTJkYnA4MXlHZk1FNUZfMUlQVWcxRi1LdExzbm5Da3lBNUxDVVkyWFlNWGdZcDk2dnoxeUx2cXhKeHoza0Z3V2E0czJmMnQ3Z0UxcHE0dVlNc0R0dHFoUy0xOWZlRmFEZUFLYWdpWFJZTUJDejBMcGgzdlQzYTlsaFBHRmVf |
I have an idea I would like to pitch to you. What if when you get bitten (if the player can be infected) your screen starts to fade to black. While it's fading, you watch your character start turning on your teammates and all you can do is watch.

I searched and no ones done it yet. Wheres MIT, Harvard, Berklee, UMASS and the rest of the world's most renowned educators? Let's get this started! I'll kick off.
I'm always in the back bay area cause I work there. I have plenty of places to maybe volunteer. I'm also apart of a fraternity and we have connections to the Greater Boston Food Bank as well as Rosie's Place. I also have connects at ABCD and the YMCA.
BTW It took me way too long to figure out how to post... it got to the point where i had to google it and the first hit was reddit with a post about how to post on reddit (amidoingitrite?)

You need a working visa to teach English in Japan. A B.A. is a minimum requirement to get a working visa. The only way around that requirement I'm aware of is if you marry a Japanese citizen.
TESL is Teaching English as a Second Language and often refers to teaching English to non-native speakers living in an English speaker country. For example, I teach ESL to immigrant high school students.
TEFL is Teaching English as a Foreign Language and refers to teaching English to non-native speakers living in their own non-English speaking country. For example, teaching English to students in China.
TESOL is Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and is usually used to refer to university teaching programs for future teachers who wish to teach in either of the above situations.
Let me know if you have any other questions. | r/tesl | comment | r/TESL | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzUWRQVGVQYmpqbTRYU2ZrUE9fcFI0SkozdzhocHFXN0RfTWNFbE94aGJKVElkdXFDcElkQjVRYzJOSTdYZTJGNmhBQXBWeHpsQkdCSkFPbWdKNmoxTXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqbUE4bDlNQTdtZ2JXM2UyN0F0V21xSlcxc0xLODAwTkxvczdUTTc5dkhxbnpzNUNtcnZLYWFFQ1lNUFo1dFdzS05sQlFzODhueGxfSlhPTk9nSHZSWHVEMEhjYXh4ejdSRk5sMTBYWmxoZkxJRHZPS2hKSEV5Vll5eUhLZ2RFcWY0dm11UUluR1dmT0xXbDRMZ2VGbm5hX2VyOVJhWW1UWDcxYkloMC1MZ1drPQ== |

[volunteermatch.org](http://www.volunteermatch.org/)
A comprehensive website that hooks up organizations in need of help with people(redditors) who want to give help and have specific talents.
You can sort by the type of work or the type of cause you would like to contribute to. Also you can search by organizations in your community.
[idealist.org](http://www.idealist.org/)
A great resource to learn about not-for-profit organizations around the world and in your hometown. you can learn about an organizations mission, the type of work they do, and the populations they serve before volunteering. After finding one you prefer you can typically find a link to their website to learn more about volunteer opportunities.
Also if you're a redditor without gainful employment, idealist lists job opportunities for many organizations.
Lastly, she wanted me to pass on these words: "Organizations really need volunteers, but it is a real burden to the organizations if you expect to do a specific task are not flexible to help out in other ways. Often they are understaffed to handle the complete organization of all their volunteers so its very difficult to fulfill every volunteer's expectations. So please be patient and flexible and it can be a very rewarding experience." | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzbWQ4X2t6dGN4a3BOY2thc3VmSWp6QmRGclRTS0VsX0lVaVJ1Yl9udUxsYU9hZnhVSFdKdXlXT0p5YzRfMXlCYl9fa3c3N25QR09hbWNobkJ0cXhCQXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqT2w3RkVRT19mRXk5YnQwZl9wYnRSWXBVLS11d1M5RGtoSUNOdEt5UEtIbWpob3JRTUo5SkNYaG1SQWdSVndKQTNLaE9pM3ZlNWhFbVVwdnhPUk5CMUZKa2h5UnNUNTNyWXIyczM1WHhMVE9lUXBVbmFyaEtRcEg4c1RHUGhQX3dZUWpjVmp0Sm4yRkJCQmVxRDQ2TFY1TU1teWFzSE4xdS1aSklHWGttcG1PMmhPZ1JUVlBZT2NuM3E1b0tZMzhn |
If this already exists, please let me know some how.
I think there should be a thread specifically for web design/hosting. It seems to be pretty popular. If it isn't already in existence, I'd gladly head it up. I've had plenty of experience in this area (Comp. Sci. major plus 6 years working in an IT environment).
Basically, here is the jist of what I was thinking:
I'll volunteer or find a volunteer to make websites. I can't afford to host anything, but I know there are redditors out there who could (or have their own personal bandwidth to contribute). I'm volunteering to put a need together with a supply and/or design web pages.

Ok guys, lets do this. I am a Team Leader for [New York Cares](http://www.newyorkcares.org/). We are the city's largest volunteer organization, averaging more than 53,000 volunteers a year.
The beauty is this: I can create my own projects, any day, any time, any activity. Basically, I say we pick a date and figure out a great way to use our time and energy. It can be anything. In the past I have helped adults learn english, worked soup kitchens, taken kids on field trips, helped out at a home for the blind, etc.
I figure we can all make suggestions in the comments, and I'll take the top one to the brass at NYCares and set something up.
To volunteer with NY Cares, you will need to go through a short orientation, about an hour. It is totally worth it because you will then have access to all of their projects through their website.

I'll step up as the point person for now. It looks like 9/10/11 is the date we're looking at right now, which is a Saturday. Does anybody have any suggestions for a place to meet up? I'm thinking Loring Park because it's large and it's close to downtown Minneapolis, but if anybody has any other ideas let's get them on the table. The following is a list of organizations in the Twin Cities that I think might be beneficial to get in contact with:
[HandsOn Twin Cities](http://www.handsontwincities.org/) - An organization that aims to strengthen communities through volunteer action.
[Volunteers of America](http://www.voa.org/) - A youth volunteer organization with offices in Minneapolis.
[Hope Community Center](http://www.hope-community.org/) - This is an organization that I've worked with in the past, they've got a really strong network and a lot of opportunities for volunteers.
[Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity](http://www.tchabitat.org/) - The Twin Cities' chapter of Habitat is currently working on disaster relief on the Northside.
[Red Cross MN](http://www.redcrossmn.org/index.asp?IDCapitulo=7K58A866M7) - The Red Cross has a ton of volunteer opportunities ranging from blood services to disaster relief.
EDIT: I'm going to be adding to this list, in the mean time if you're interested in getting involved, please PM me, email me at [email protected], or leave a comment. | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzeE5yZnQ2T2Exbl9PcHZZQ2wzNTJFVFhzQXpRODJVaV9GenZNTTkwQkZVZ190RnMyS3YwRlVUV0VYYVdlMjhabzNtOEN4UnRlNzRpeUtieVBFSDVGS29FMzBCSFNKdlYza0duRWtCNm9Md289 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqaDRJY2pXZHVMZVNYOW1saUF3NHJYdVB5d1FTajVsMlN6M3RxZl9EZkVsREZfM1R0ZE94eGZHSnMyR2JGdmREbl9kQ0cyYkd3cUhjMlpueWdYQmc0ZkJKUTRJQS1QTkdhcW5ibDYydXRFTzllYWFkbGhuLUwtSk12VzdjSFZYNFVSM2FfZE5obmNPVHVkRkcwR1ptZkIwNGdXZWg2WDQyVEJPZ0RnOFJReVBaSlY2XzYtSndCR3NvZDRUTXBXMENqM2k0Tk5fN0lUNTRuMFZTMnBNUGxWZz09 |
I used to write for suite101.com occasionally, which pays revenue for articles based on page view and advertisement clicks. I stopped due to the lack of significant payoff (mostly because I didn't write enough articles).
If I wrote an article about Reddit's /helpit, and everyone viewed the page, and even clicked an advertisement, though, I could raise some money, which could all go to the charity of reddit's choice. It may not be a lot (depending on how many participants), but it will be something and requires almost no work!
Any thoughts?
TL;DR: If I wrote an article, could Reddit give the web traffic and ad clicks to raise some money for charity? Simple clicks and pass-it-on. | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzeXp5UGNNbFN5RUo0bHZuMDhuc2s1YXBKdmtNTnVnWDVUS1JHNnZ0Ylp6dmxsT2MzMEFTSGYtaUlMUkg1LVpvSjI1SEdTWWw2eXU3RThaVXY2MVNOQWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqX2dwZVYwZy05azlpMm10bUpiV3l1V3JqSGRjenByTDh1cm5vWC1fWExTbUNXYkVqalY0TG81U0Z6MUd4LWVMVVo4cjBoSGthc19KYXRRd3cxLXYzWm5wdUlQLWx1Skk0WXV6eWhJdmVFclA4R01mUUtwTTRtWERDMEI1aFI2RDlfTklESHBsT19EYmRMQlJIV0pwSHdBbjZzOE5iMkpRaWNEd2VQVkRLaW0wPQ== |
I signed up because I thought it was about joining fellow redditors in doing good deeds for our local communities, whenever we could; not because we were going to try and create a national holiday like Earth Hour.
Not that I don't think that that would be a good idea; but I don't see the point in only helping out one day a year.
So yeah. | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzdEY0TmRrMmJVSTRMeWpRVUpCZ044bnBTRXR0d3ZwTXl3U0pNU01WMDFjVWxOMDlKNmFEN2xJZkxOWGdiNVBqSTRxLWJwS2g0UlJteG9zM1UtcU9PY0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqSGlaTzJRRjJOTlU3RVRKaXpMVWw5X2RyQWhVMmJJMk9rclZoc3hYT1dqdERNYVJ2ell2eWlSM3FJblVaSlRQRll3bGtrMEFhU1V2SEdSTXpqUy16aXdGWnVpb2hCakIxME1oMHBrbjNrM2tEUjZtdUY0ZVlFa2Z2a3JPTkNvRWsyVE93SUJSaHBHQnNHNmdvRHNMX29BUC01Y201N1FiUEw5b3dCeWt1U215WkduaHdwaHpjWjhMZVIzdmkzUmxtWFdFbnRFN1ZCc1JVc1ByYm9seTlKZz09 |

What if all those who wanted to help sold something they had laying around on ebay, like an internet garage sale? Whether you make thirty cents or thirty dollars, you could donate it to a common cause and make a cumulative difference.
It's easy, and won't cost you anything but something you don't want anymore. | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzdWJrbmpJRnhIMHBCdjZGN1lna2Raa2Y1d3pBcS1zZ3h5Nks5NmlRb0h6QUhJWmE2andYTVFzelhNUjI0aTF5dUExbnByY3JySUxlSkxLeUMxSFlCYVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqUEI1c09mMjJxbUdtWE1LcURWOTE5RHFhU1hxRkxZYVBIVmN1c3hSeTRwNG9oZzNvdGw0bXhCeWNMS3FqejV4dFBvYkxCMUFfYTR0UzFkTGZ2ZXBIZUE5T2dCb21YaVkwazZBaV81cHJoV085WENaMW85UVhDSlFYSzlDcS1FTjZMUnYwa1gxTGpPZXBXdUI4VGtsdEhWajN2cXFROVhFeHZ2VDUyS054aEJJPQ== |
I've just been placed in an AmeriCorps position in partnership with Google - where I will be tasked to create a Skilled Volunteer Corps filled with tech specialists. Google will be footing the bill to provide a much needed tech upgrade for poverty-related nonprofits and the Skilled Volunteer Corps will help with logistics.
Details are fuzzy - since I do not begin the job until late August - but if this seems like something you'd be interested in comment below and I will update everyone when more information is available! The nonprofits will be based out of NYC, but there might be ways to volunteer remotely.
I'd like to stress that this would definitely be a casual way to volunteer! It is run in partnership with NY Cares, which is a neat organization that allows busy people to volunteer on their own time. No long time commitment - so express interest and I will send more info your way when things are more concrete. My apologies for being so vague, but I figured I'd introduce the idea while the topic is hot.
Happy volunteering :) | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzeHJZazlnTktCdk9fWGpPVmhqdXYxTTRZOUgyY3VYYjFVaDE3Qi1CRmY1STBqNHhqSHlrclprYlIwbU1XcmM2ZU1kVHU1a1ZnNm5rV3dqZEZDU1hWeVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqZHROdDJPb1pkXzlNaHN2aUhaUndqbVFnaFFSVFdVZjB5TWVtWHJZNlBlYi0wekZqSWR0bmdwU3FFTENFMDVfclhmeThHdVdoYzBmamh1VlRORVlKSHB0WTNIVzVIT0dsVWFoWGppaWlXWWVidVlhM2l6RjdXem1TRFlPZ3JWMW1nRHZGck44OUZBZnFnZHBQVG5lVGxvMkRFMnM1TTBiRlZkZGhUX0pKZDI4PQ== |
I've seen 3 posts for Florida already and none for quite a few states and other areas. Obviously this is in its first stages, but I think it's a plausible goal for this project. :) That way, instead of searching for your area we can have a more coordinated and simple effort. I also realize that the goal is to have people working everywhere, but it's also important to note that sometimes more can be accomplished in greater numbers. | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzbmV3MGJuQm44LWMzQi10dzBVUkhmVDZLOHpUS1BWOW1JZFRKX0RGRVB3U1BjWXNQRG1zd3lUU1daUTh0NjhEcThoZ0s2MmQ5MXRzVVlxamZ3Zmc0Ymc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqXzRSTFp3b05BR0lVUzkzcUNUWThoTUg1UWZyV0hjZ08wZ1lSQXpkN3FZcWZVa2puVXJraHc0LU00LW8yNFl4NE93Z1BCYkJzMk1DYUVyY2RvUEI5UHRHNHExbGxMYms0d2RzeU93VVpfdWw3RWM5bGpLLU53WVhlazgxbjJ6Qmh4M2dhRlJsWjA3R01KNHlsZlM2YVR2X0NCbl9fZHJTaTB0SGFOVGRaQVNadEN5cDk3UWtHajBISVlFOUJQekRH |
Ultimately, do whatever you want, helping is helping. But there are so many small 501c3 organizations that could really use your help. They don't get a lot of volunteers because they just don't have the same exposure.
It will take a little more time to find them, but it will be worth it. Your few hours of volunteering will go a very long way.

Compilation thread of ideas for volunteerism. Please list the national organizations that you know, movements, or events that desperately need volunteers - even for just one day.
**Organizations**
Habitat for Humanity is happy to take people in, quickly teach them specific construction tasks, and put them to work for 8 hours.
The Red Cross seeks donors on a daily basis for blood and plasma donation. You can do this once, or you can do it repeatedly. Also, free cookies and juice.
**Community Events**
Watching the local papers will often result in finding notifications of area one-day activities that require a mess of volunteers. The most common form of this is the community clean up day, where a large group of volunteers is requested and the volunteers are sent out to a site to pick up trash, perform acts of random landscaping, etc.
**User Events**
Food Drives can be had in your own neighborhood - on a weekend, head door to door to introduce yourself to your neighbors and beg the unwanted dry and canned goods from their pantry. Nearly every house has something in the pantry that will never be touched. Most households are happy to hand these over. Collect for a morning, and take the donations to your local food pantry for a solid day of volunteerism.
If you know of organizations, events, or have ideas on how to volunteer for just one day without the need to commit to regular volunteerism schedules, share! | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzS1VDcFc0VHRkSVJneWp2dklRTkc2RmExclhCNTRRLXRsR2NKdVRXN0tCMEp4T1FtZDBLQ3hGU1pNYmViTzk1X3RtYVdRMGl4VmtTOWhtQzZ2cXZjWXdQM1g4dmczYkhOVWU4Z0pkalJZRFU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqMmhreVc3eXM0eU8tSVY4U2FFalNhVGFxMWFnNWU1OUNkSGQyejdOZk03S2RDUW9TLTdEZnIwOXpmZGJQRnRZdk9BS090Q3d2bXo1UkRvek5jX3R2QVBXTk43WlJQcnJabDlEMlY1RHpZeWpVdXNzRDdpUThMMTNrbjUzYmpCT2ZtVzNrZXpXOEtVcUtHd2ZQSjRrZ0wtN08xeml1dm5XY3N6cnNpMmsxemFJPQ== |

So I'm currently volunteering with the Peace Corps in Albania. I've been assigned to work at a high school and teach English for the next two years. I was thinking I might come and trade project ideas back and forth with people on this thread if that's ok. I do have access to teaching materials if anyone is thinking about volunteering as a teacher. Also if anyone has any questions about getting involved in the Peace Corps I'd be happy to answer them. | r/helpit | post | r/helpit | 2011-07-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VzdEF3Y0xTVWhHdU1YQ0lRdXVVc1Q1QkRLZEZzZE9jTWxXdFdkNXJCaVdLWE5EaElTSzJQUUtUdkdiUndzQURjRjUxZ3JOYzZtclJ1cXdtRmFsRFp6Znc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZqaVdrQVNYU0NNR0s4SF9yZnd1UzhqRDVMTDBYRkRqd0hhZUI0S2p6MnpJUmljMWFONUw1VUlDNXIxT3FUaEY0YnVSUnpLU29scFFtOEtUSTFLZDRVbzhuYk5nWmcxVnhMSXVoUFZJbGRwckIzNU5uZ25Fd0pQRkUwTVk2WEwzMWRqYkV3S2twWFdDOHVsanNkZmdZa19RPT0= |
