The idea of Monroeville was a stroke of genius. It offered something which really stood out, (and promoted the movie quite well to UD fans). As Monroville's quarantine tightens up, I begin to wonder, could this kind of thing continue on?
Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be Monroeville, but what about a random town, created once every one or two months, operating without Necrotech facilities?
Give the city a certain period of time in which new characters can be created. The first fortnight, for example. Then close up the borders, and let them duke it out. Survivors who live to the end can be featured on a list on the Wiki, or UD site. Also, notable zombies, perhaps those who raked in high kill counts, or who killed the first and last humans, could be featured as well.
You could have one or two of these towns running at a time. While one town is in its opening month, the other town is enduring through its second. That way, every fortnight, people have the opportunity to try their hand at a new place.
With the towns being created (by design or chance, or both?) each round, survivors would have a hard time finding maps, which feels natural for such environments. It would sure encourage active exploration, and productive radio chatter.
I don't know what kind of server requirements would be needed for this, or indeed what kind of extra loads Monroeville required, but if this idea was implemented, I'd sure be interested in it.
I know I was supposed to keep this simple... sorry. I'm hopelessly fluent in Ramblish.
