Humans vs. Zombies- The plague is coming to a campus near you!
Anyone else have this game at their campus?
We've got 700 people playing currently, about 1/4 are humans and the rest have become zombies. Tomorrow's the last day of the game.

Yeah..I posted a thread on this month's ago in OSST before we had this sub forum. I'm pretty sure the game has been over on my campus for quite some time now.

I've seen them play around campus. Honestly, how do people have enough time to do that? You really should realize that your grades do matter, especially your first 2 years since its hard to keep a high GPA later on.

Alright, well, I'm not sure how prominent this fad is around everyone else, but around here, huge amounts of people are running around with nerf guns and yellow bandanas attacking each other.
Basically, its a game of tag played with Nerf Guns, played 24/7. The rules are as followed:
Quote:
Overview:
Humans vs. Zombies is a game of tag. All players begin as humans, and one is randomly chosen to be the “Original Zombie.” The Original Zombie tags human players and turns them into zombies. The zombies must tag and “feed” on a human ever 48 hours or he starves to death and is out of the game.
Objectives:
• The Zombies win when all human players have been tagged and turned into zombies.
• The Humans win by surviving long enough for all of the zombies to starve.
Equipment:
• Bandana
• Nerf gun and/or socks
• One 3×5 index card
Human Rules:
Staying On Campus: Humans must sleep on campus. If you need to leave campus for longer than 24 hours, we apologize, but there are no exceptions.
I.D. Number: Humans must keep one index card with their unique identification number on them at all times.
Stunning a Zombie: Humans may stun a Zombie for 15 minutes by shooting them with a Nerf gun or throwing a sock at them.
When Tagged By a Zombie: When tagged by a Zombie, a Human is required to distribute their ID card. One hour after being tagged, a Human becomes a member of the Zombie team. Wear your bandanna around your head – you are now allowed to tag other Humans.
Wearing a Headband: Humans must wear a headband around an arm or leg to identify them as players of the game. (This headband will come in handy when you become a zombie!)
Zombie Rules:
Feeding: Zombies must feed every 48 hours. A zombie feeds by reporting their kill on the website.
Wearing Your Headband: Zombies must wear a bandanna around their heads at all times. The Original Zombie does not need to wear a headband.
Tagging: A tag is a firm touch to any part of a Human. After tagging a
Human the Zombie must collect their ID card. Kills must be reported within three hours.
Getting Shot: When shot with a Nerf gun or hit with a sock a Zombie is stunned for 15 minutes. A stunned zombie may not interact with the game in any way. This includes shielding other zombies from bullets or continuing to run toward a human. If shot while stunned, the zombie’s stun timer is reset back to 15 minutes.

I guess its not so lame, its just really funny seeing all the overweight/scrawny nerds* slinging nerf guns acting like Rambo patroling the entire campus. I wanna run up on them and act like a zombie/zombie killer just to make them mad.
*I use this term loosely

We had it at Purdue like a month ago, there were 1621 people according to the website. I didn't play but it was funny seeing everyone watching their backs everywhere they went.
I wanted to make a sheet sign with the safehouse logo from left 4 dead and hang it from our fraternity house... but I was too lazy to do it.

We don't have the game, but on Halloween(and the week before) a ton of people dress as zombies and walk around like zombies on campus the entire day. Relatively entertaining as they can't use doors, so they just keep walking into them until someone lets them in. Last year, I was coming back from class and someone let one in behind me, there was a dude sleeping on a couch in the lobby, looked like he **** his pants when he was woken by a zombie.

I think it's hilarious that we can't carry firearms with a concealed carry permit on campus, but these *******s can galavant around with nerf guns/pistols in holsters. From a distance, they look like real weapons, especially when they paint em black.

We had a small game running on campus which got a write up in the college newspaper. Plans for next semester already talk of close to 1,000 interested in participating, but I wont see it as I graduated this semester.

you can see me in pic #20 showing off my A&M boxers.
Rumor is we have perked up the interest in a lot of people with this last game. Next we're expecting 1-2,000.

Tech did it a few weeks ago and is doing it again in February. Looked like it could be fun if you got into it.
