Since a few of us are trying out Die2Nite (I've got about 10 more keys if anyone else wants in the beta), I thought it would be cool to share any tips and tricks that we discover.
First of all, don't go exploring alone into unknown zones. Right now I'm trapped by 7 zombies waiting to see if anyone will come rescue me. If you want to go exploring, start an Expedition or stick to squares that someone has already been in.
Upgrade your home to a tent, but nothing further. Don't waste planks on a hovel, give them to the bank.
Build a Watchtower or a Workshop first.
Anyone else have any tips yet?

Don't eat 'Meaty Bones' as you're 100% guaranteed to pick up an infection.
Don't use the 'EMS' shock item to refill your APs as you WILL be injured.
Build a Watchtower first (along with a gate lock if possible), then a Workshop, then a Butcher's whilst doing small wall upgrades where possible. The Butcher's will allow you to create meat from certain items found when searching, meat is consumable and will refresh your AP once a day.

The two towns I've been in both said Workshop before Watchtower, but I haven't seen which one is really more beneficial yet.
And for the second time I'm stuck outside the walls hoping someone will come rescue me.

There's a case for both really, though the Watchtower allows you to get a better reading as to how many zombies will be attacking you each round - so you can plan ahead as to what you need to build or gather.

I've been in two towns, and both times got stuck outside and killed during the attack. I'm thinking I'll just work inside a town next time.

I still didn't get the concept of the expeditions.
You prepare an expedition route, and then...?
Is there any way to set up a time when to gather?

I've actually never been on an expedition yet. I got stuck outside alone again in my third town, but this time I got rescued, and then I went to rescue someone else. So this will be the first time I survive to day 2.
Kaje, what's your username in game?
Once they get the Hero thing worked out where you can pay for it, I'll do it and then we can make a coalition and at least all be in the same town.

6+6(Water)+6(Food), but beyond that, I don't know.

After you've eaten and drank, you can get more AP through drugs or alcohol. If you do drugs more than once per day, you get addicted, and then need to keep doing drugs every day or you die.
And there's some good basic definition stuff on the wiki, http://die2nite.wikia.com/wiki/Die2Nite_Wiki

I still wonder if the hero points are given as random as the help section seems to suggest, cause that'd mean that we'll probably never be able to play together

Yeah, only heros can form groups it seems. Still not sure what is required to get it. Sounds like it will be for pay at some point.

You get to be a hero if you're the last survivor of your town, but yeah, you'll also be able to pay for it. Not sure how much it costs but they said they use a micro-payment service so it can't be more than a few dollars I'd think.
And I'm in a town on day 3 now. First time I've made it that far.

But that "last survivor" thing is chosen randomly, and that's what's bugging me
