Take to the streets of Morg City to combat the undead. Embrace the curse to uncover its mysteries.
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.

Ok so ever since Shadows was revealed one thing has been consistent the whole time. These Orbs inside the Ruby Rabbit, containing the symbols of "Keepers" or "Keeper Language". My question is what is it that were missing here, in the reveal trailer for Shadows they are present as well as in the Opening Cinematic. Surely they would've fixed this or changed it by now if it were nothing, unless they are trying to tell us something. In the beginning there was never an Orb, or Circle on the Lamp inside the Ruby Rabbit, then through updates it was added. If you look on the ceiling inside you can see these same "White Orbs" except they are smaller and have no …

I personally think it's really awesome. The map is gorgeous and it has an amazing atmosphere, like the music each time a round ends and the whole display especially the round counter which I find really cool this time round. I'm not going to go into that much detail but I wanted to know if anyone finds the map as nice as I do.

Hello codz! I tend to lurk more than anything on these boards while reading some of your phenomenal stories & dissections of lore & wanted to ask a question that may have no concrete answer ( the story of our lives!) What happens when our protagonists die in soe? specifically where do our enemies focus there attention? During the map we are met with an onslaught of zombies, margwas, meatballs, apothicans, those flying things... but what happens when we are not there for their attention, would they fight each other in our absence, would they join hands and sing kum ba yah around a smoldering, is there some unknown that can potentially con…

Many people so far have connected this new "Monster Mode" to a few things. Some say it's a gumball effect, some say it's the new afterlife mode. I personally think it's like afterlife mode, but it has to be activated by doing something and won't trigger upon death. I actually think in theory, that it's gained by KILLING the margwas. Like say you summon a margwa, that's obviously bad for you. But kill it and you unlock a few minutes of rampage mode, which during that time you can power objects, smash through walls, and kill zombies. I of course have no proof of this, but this appears to be my theory. Thoughts?

Upon first glance, it appears that we're sacrificing people we've already killed, Nero's wife, Jessica's blackmailer, The cop's bribe-y, and the Boxer's opponent. Or at least thats what I figured happened. Upon seeing actual gameplay however, it appears we're actually sacrificing other people. Try it out, you use nero's alter and nero's object (Golden inkwell pen), but you don't sacrifice Nero's wife. I believe rather, you're sacrificing who enabled you to kill. The ref. was bribed into looking the other way, and he's who's sacrificed by the boxer in his ritual. This is the strongest evidence of this as the stripes in…

On par with typical storywriting, you DON'T keep a character this hidden unless you know who he is. They wouldn't reveal the shadow man and be like: IT'S ....... Some... random guy.... There are 2 possibilities: 1-The shadowman is a character introduced in the SOE. This could range from the fem-fetal's blackmailer, the boxer's opponenly (tony king), the ref, the mayor, the insurance policy lady, the debt settler, and a few more. 2- It's someone from zombie lore. Ranging from a MOTD character, to brock and gary from shangri-la. It's someone we've seen before from the zombies standpoint. This is less likely because we can already assume it's not any of the O4, the N4,…

Alright so I don't know if this has already been cleared up yet. I know for a fact that the red power ups that drop when you have Widow's Wine have an effect, have you all not noticed yet? When you grab one, the next zombie that smacks you gets frozen and then if you let the web consume him without touching him, the zombies head will pop off and you will see a tiny red explosion as it happens. Tested this multiple times since I've discovered it.

Zornash and you, a primer. This has been hashed out, but i see that it isn't common knowledge, so let's set this straight. Gwanash, or Robot, is not zornash. It never was, and never will be. Just stop with that. Gwanash and it's pictogram parts are known and spelled out. Zor and the symbol representing it are well known and not in gwanash. The word Altar is cut off, but shows "zorna...". The exact spelling of "zornash" appears as the second symbol on the base of the sword holder on xbone (not 360). Picture in post 2. Zor/na/ash are the 3 symbols that make up the word. ------ Zornash appears …
