Ok the challenge is to see how long you can survive in the most extreme settings.
 
All you need to do is:
- Set up a new world with the following settings
   
- Create your own character to your specs
- Survive as long as you can

The only rules is no standing still and speeding up time. Your amount of time survived is your score.
 
1. Megaman (204)
2. MadDan2013 (5 Hours)
3. Obinhi (4 Hours)
4. Zukw (4 Hours)
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

I like it . Table pants ftw!
 
Perhaps refining the idea it could looks something like this?

(Now say we included my journal idea aswell: http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/798-journals/)
Journal Entries:
Day 1: Ran half way across the town just to get to the Pile'o'crepes. Hopefully I can wall it off and live there. I found this book and thought i should begin writing in case something happens. I've taken up refugee in a house close by to the Pile'o'crepes, I'll clear zombies out and move in once I've finished barricading everything.
 
Day 3: went to investigate the pile'o'crepes and discovered and enormous horde. I was luckily able to escape and even more move them away from the shopping district. Things are looking up, I might be able to actually pull this off.
 
Day 4: Damn it! gunshot lured the zombies right through my safehouse. I was barely able to make it out alive. Right now about 20 zombies stand between me and all my suppies. I am currently hiding in the pile'o'crepes but realize I can't stay here for long. With no where to sleep I will eventually pass out. I need to find somewhere to sleep, perhaps one of the other stores will have chairs I can sleep in, I can only hope.

This kind of setup doesn't limit your game to a single score, it does however give you details on how you lived. While one person might have survived 4 years 34 days and 20 hours another might have walked 1768 miles and another might have killed 2375 zombies and 500 survivors. one might have befriended all the NPCs and owned a fort having a miniature society in the middle of zombie territory, over 500 structures built (individual walls etc).
 
Point is there is no winner or better player because each character will have their strong and weak points. things they did better and things they did worse. This system is meant to reflect that as a wall to remember characters, instead of judging them.

This thread is basically going to compile a huge collection of ideas which I have either thought about whilst playing the game or seen/heard on the forum, YouTube and other sources. You may comment whatever ideas you have in this thread, but it will be my final decision whether or not to include them as it's my opinion on how the game can improve for the future. 
 
I would just like to add that I'm fairly new to the game and one of the ideas may already be in the game, only I haven't managed to come across it yet. So apologies in advance. 
 

 
Local Map -  Yes; maps have been agreed, although I would like to add to it. I think we should be able to use the pencil to interact with the map. Meaning we can write down our current location or whether a house is fully looted, unsafe or a safe (just like the Spray Paint Mod, it's realistic right!?)
 
GPS - So now you discovered a local neighbourhood and you know which roads are safe and what not. Why not use a GPS to mark the house around the block and take the safest route to get there? These should be extremely rare to come across and A-B routes can only be marked if the area is revealed on the map. 
 
Smelly Zeds - This idea works alongside the next idea. Those smelly zeds around your safehouse should make your character start to lose his head. Who would like to live around those smelly things? Yep, I do mean your character should start to feel panicked or depressed which ends in death or even moving to a new area.
 
Disposable Bodies - You don't want to die or move area, and you've found enough school bags, duffelbags and hiking bags? So this means you no longer need the garbage bags? Well why not use these garbage bags to dump one or two dead zeds in each bag? I think it would be a good idea so we can then dispose those 'smelly' zeds away from your safe house. 
 
Recipe Books - A bunch of different books which include a certain amount of recipes. So not all recipes would be in one book. This would make book hunting a lot more fun for those who like cooking and reading in the game. Obviously the books would contain items, ingredients and cooking time etc.
 
Stopwatches - I think this idea could work alongside cooking and the recipe books. For example: if it takes a minute to cook soup, then you would use a stopwatch to record the time which stops you burning your safehouse down. 
 
Bicycles - Where are all the cars gone? Grab your neighbours push-bike. Make sure you keep them safe though. No, I don't mean from the zeds. I mean keep them safe from the rain under a garage. Use them at reasonable times as old bikes or wet bikes do get rusty, squeaky and breakable. You wouldn't want to run into a horde of zombies with a loud squeaky bicycle. 
 
WD-40 - You've found a old/rusty bicycle and a few rare cans of WD-40? Go ahead and take care of that loud zed-magnet sound which your bike makes. 
 
This is all I have at the moment. I will be adding to the list in the future. Feel free to comment and add to the given ideas above.
