28 Days Later: Street level upgrade

Not open for further replies.
Bump, if the glass breaking is still uncertain, Mailer breaking the wooden muntins in the glass door still get Street level
 
Three more feats of Infected bursting through wooden walls
always with this

First one has one (1) board split, not frag. Another board is knocked off but not broken.

Second one has the same, board split, not fragged.

Third one has a vague number of creatures doing it, since the light obscures them, but it is definitely more than one since three hands are reaching through the window (I'd wager more than two, though).

These aren't upgradeable feats. I don't know what it is with zombie verses throwing dozens of feats at the wall to see what sticks. Splitting a board isn't 9-C, we can just do that in real life.

These aren't shitty mall dojo karate boards, these are like half-inch thick planks
The boards used in martial arts are typically about an inch thick. The main difference is their length, not thickness: in terms of what we actually deal with in a calculation, the mall dojo karate boards are thicker. While obviously it would vary quite a lot, and the math is inevitably going to be more complicated than what our forum tends to delve into, it would only take about 30 Joules to snap a board like this.

That said, I went ahead and checked the thickness of the boards- they don't seem very thick to me, and there's probably a good deal of variance between them (they probably used whatever was available, after all), but the ones I measured came out to 0.3 to 0.4 inches. They aren't exactly using primo material.

No, it's two being snapped and another falling. See the above point for why breaking planks in this manner isn't really relevant.

Only one arm reaches through, but there are undeniably multiple zombies hitting the barricade there. It features five boards being destroyed, four of which are just chopped and one of which has some argument to be fragged (in that, a small fragment of the board is also cast off, along with it being snapped).

This isn't just throwing shit at the wall, these are generally accepted street level feats, almost half of which have calcs that justify this level
To be blunt, what is accepted sometimes and what is right is not coterminous.

Every feat sent to upgrade these verses comes mired in context that I don't think is considered before hitting send. A feat is seen and an upgrade is proposed. Nevertheless, the context exists. In this case, most of these are straight up just normal human feats, the only deterrent is that it would hurt like hell to actually do it.

Rather than continue on with the way this CRT has been going, wherein various glass or wooden board snapping feats are presented every so often, I am going to close this thread and consider it rejected. If you want to make another, I urge you to take an honest look at the feats you're presenting. I don't think you're actively seeking to misrepresent them, but with the sheer volume of feats being presented in cases like 28 Days Later, it would be better to give them a more thorough consideration each. That's all.
