Amy, I think it will be easier in the IC if we have a few "templates" for such things as Combat, Loyalty, etc. I will create Templates as we need them, but for right now -- as we begin the first the first fight -- I will create a Combat Template.

I also think it will be easier in the IC if we have one single post of all the Profiles together. From that, we can create lesser Profile posts that can be used for different purposes. If you have any ideas regarding this, PM me.

Concessions food​

Calculating Concessions Inventory: To determine this, I had to kind of make things up off the top of my pointy head:

• PK Park total capacity = 4,000.
• Actual attendance that day = 3,000.
• We can't know how many fans would buy a food item, a drink item, and/or a treat item.
• But we do know that PK Park doesn't allow outside food or drink, so if a fan wants to eat or drink something -- without the potential of being ejected for breaking the outside food or drink rule -- they have to buy it at the park.
• So, I'm going to say that to ensure the Park didn't run out, game day inventory of all three categories is 2/3s of expected attendance = 2,000 servings of each category.
• The game was in the 4th inning when the mayhem of the Dead Rising began.
• Assuming that 1/2 of the fans got their food/drink before going to their seat and another 1/4 of them got their food/drink before the 4th inning, that would leave the remaining inventory = 500 servings of food, drink, and treats.
• But then, a lot of the items are not really that perishable, so there could have been a lot more than what was minimally necessary in the supply rooms, refrigerators, and freezes.
• So ... let's just say that we start out with 1,000 servings of each category.

Food Items: Inventory as of Feb 2 = 1,000

• Hot Dogs

• Juice
• Red Bull
• Milk, pints
• Coffee
• Cocoa
• Black Tea
• Hot Chocolate
• Draft Beer
• Wine
