The game has existed for a long time in its French and German incarnations, both of which contain many experienced players. The creators have been working very hard to stop the three fanbases mixing (See [[Broken Base]] bellow).

Provides examples of:
* [[After the End]]: All that seems to be left of the world are a handful of surviours populating a few sparse holdouts in an endless desurt filled with legions of hungry zombies. The situation is just as hopeless as it sounds...
* [[All or Nothing]]: The Emergency Buildings are pretty effective, but only last for one night, leaving the town with less workforce and resources for the following day.The aptly-named "All or Nothing" building gives a massive defense boost, but ''destroys every item in the town's possession.'' The Garbage Dump is similar, but allows players to control which items to sacrifice at a higher resource price.
* [[Anti Poop Socking-Poopsocking]]: Each player only gets a handful of AP each day to explore or build things with. Lost AP can be restored with items, but only by a limited amount each day. Also, out in the world beyond the player will have to wait 2 hours before being able to search a location again. Fortunately, the game does an auto search even if the player isn't logged in, allowing them to collect supplies while their [[Real Life]] self goes about their daily business. Just don't forget to return to town before the gate closes...
* [[Apocalyptic Log]]: Among the items that can be found there also are diaries, documents and notes left by the now-undead inhabitants of the zone.
** The forums can also be considered one, as messages aren't deleted after a player's death, and it's thus common to read the last messages left before their demise.
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
* [[Berserk Board Barricade]]: Averted. It takes many people contributing their [[Action Points]] to construct the town barricaded (although you can upgrade your home by yourself).
** Actually, there ''is'' an item, the Makeshift Barricade, that you can use instantly giving 1 and 0.5 Defense to your house and your town respectively. Won't completely subvert a night's outcome, but every little bit helps.
* [[Booze -Based Buff]]: Alcoholic items will restore your AP, but a hangover the next day and the fact that booze is somewhat rare will prevent most players from using it too much. Still, its a great thing to have if you've already drunk your water ration and eaten food that day and need some AP to get back to town.
* [[Bragging Rights Reward]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20131207021601/http://die2nitewiki.com/wiki/Crow_Statue The Crow Statue]. It costs 300 AP, 35 patchwork beams, 3 pieces of human flesh, and does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help the town in any way. Why is it a very rare blueprint then? It gives anyone still alive at its completion a few rare distinctions... [[Awesome but Impractical|and that is it.]]
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: Players can pay to enter Hero Mode.That pretty much triples the game content they have access to: special house improvements, more classes, special powers, passive bonuses...
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: Some of the things towns can do to residents they don't like could count as this. The individual players also have plenty of options for pulling one of these on a disliked citizen.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
** Turns out this didn't end the beta like everyone expected. It just gave everyone insane amounts of soul points and bumped them up to the veteran towns.
* [[Cyanide Pill]]: One of the avalible drugs. See [[Press X to Die]] below.
* [[Death Is a Slap Onon The Wrist]]: When you die you just start over again in a new town with thirty-nine new friends (although depending on your actions you may have earned "soul points" or hero mode.
** Somewhat averted in that, while it may not be that bad for you, it could potentially screw the rest of the town's chances of survival.
* [[Doomed Protagonist]]: Every player.
* [[Downer Ending]]: Your town will die. The only question is how long you can survive.
* [[Eat the Dog]]: Mentioned often. There is even a statistic to keep track of how many pets you've killed.
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: You probably will.
* [[Fire-Forged Friends]]: There is only one real motivation for you to all work together; you all want to survive. Fail to gel as a town, and you probably won't last much longer than three days. If you last a while, though, you may feel quite an attachment towards your townmates.
* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: The decoration score is given by the Committee for the Upkeep of Neat and Tastefully-decorated Shacks (formerly known as Working Association for Nicely Kept Shacks
* [[Gag Penis]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922054300/http://die2nitewiki.com/wiki/Giant_BRD The Giant BRD.]
* [[Griefer]]: As this is a game based around co-operation and survival it is very open to griefing. People can steal from the town supplies to upgrade their own home (usually considered a banishable offence) or intentionally get caught in hordes of zombies to waste time and medical supplies.
** Though, sometimes griefing is (partially) justified if the town is doomed to be destroyed shortly, as the griefer is eliminating potential competitors for the "Last Man Standing" title.However, this is still frowned upon by most.
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
* [[Joke Weapon]]: Pretty much 80% of the weapon zombies can be fought with.Box cutters, can openers, water guns, '''live snakes'''...
** [[Lethal Joke Weapon]]: You'd be surprised how effective some of these weapons actually are when used against the zombies.
* [[Kill It Withwith Water]]: Even a lowly water balloon can wipe several zombies off the map... but you'll have to use up a plastic bag and your water ration to make one.
* [[Last Stand]]: One of the survivors who survives until the last night will be selected to be a hero in his next game.
* [[Level Grind]]: Averted. The only bonuses are given by being in hero mode, which is a temporary boost.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130927115620/http://die2nitewiki.com/wiki/Armageddon_Witness Armageddon Witnesses] also got a few perks after said event wiped out almost every town in the game.
* [[Luck -Based Mission]]: What the game is at its most basic level. It doesn't matter how skilled a player you are as how much luck you have. You could easily get stuck with a town that only has a few heros, a town that doesn't work well together, only find useless items when searching, become a random victim if someone forgot to close the gate, have your internet go out for a few days and cause you to die from dehydration dispite collecting your daily water ration... the list goes on and on...
* [[Made of Explodium]]: Mobile phones. People use them in game as GRENADES.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: the Crow, offering advice (and snarky comments) to all citizens every day.
Line 63 ⟶ 62:
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: Towns can build a Nuclear Reactor if so they wish, but if it's not repaired every day, it will istantly destroy the whole town and all survivors, even the ones out in the desert.
* [[No Zombie Cannibals]]: Averted. "Stopped by the town's defenses, your ex-cohabitants left empty-handed and gnawing on each other's putrified carcasses."
* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: Well, for one thing they die from a [[Kill It Withwith Water|water balloon to the face or being shot with a squirt gun...]]
* [[Powered Byby a Forsaken Child|Powered By A Forsaken Resident]]: The new Shaman class uses the souls of dead residents to defend the town. Hey, at least if you die you can still be of use to your friends, right?
* [[Press X to Die]]: Taking a [[Cyanide Pill]] will kill you instantly on the spot. Since the goal of this game is to survive as long as possible this was likely just included to give players one more different way to die.
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: Any given town.
Line 79 ⟶ 78:
* [[The Maze]]: A rare blueprint lets you build one of these to use against the zombies, but you'll need 1AP to bypass it and get back into town.
* [[The Stoner]]: Drinking alcohol (or receiving a blow to the head) will cause people to say random things in their posts.
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20131020015801/http://die2nitewiki.com/wiki/Main_Page The Die 2 Nite Wiki.]
* [[Turns Red]]: The Cemetery upgrade fortify the town's defences based on the number of dead citizens.Meaning that a town that is whittled down to 10 people will receive a whopping +300 Defense bonus.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Water is lethal to zombies.
