At the beginning of the game everyone is a member of the Human team with the exception of one person chosen as the Original Zombie. The player who is the original Zombie Is a secret. This person tags human players, turning them into Zombies as well. The Zombie team wins when they have consumed the entirety of the Human team. The Human team wins if the Zombie team starves to death; a zombie starves 48 hours after its last tag. The Humans are armed with nerf weapons - marshmallows or clean balled-up socks, which can stun a Zombie for 15 minutes, rendering them harmless. 1. Humans must always wear a standard issue yellow bandana (the library will provide), tied around their right upper arm, between elbow and shoulder. Zombies must wear a bandana tied around their head as a headband or around their neck. Humans must carry 3 index cards, with their game 1D on it at all times (how you use them Is explained later on), 2. If a zombie tags a human anywhere Ina legal killzone (addressed below), both players stop what they are doing and perform the standard tag procedure, The human is then moved to the zomble team after one hour, and the zombie Is fed for 48 hours. 3. Standard tag procedure: the human who is tagged will give the index card with their game information to the zombie and put their bandana in the correct zombie position. It is then up to the zombie to contact ‘Sam with the information on the card to get credit for the tag and last for another 48 hours. The other 2 cards are for sharing with other zombies, the tagging zomble can choose to give a card to each person. Tags must be reported by midnight of the day they happen or they don’t count. Instructions will be on each card on how to contact Sam and what information to share, 4, If a human nerfs a zombie with an official Nerf weapon, the zomble Is disabled for fifteen (15) minutes, after which time the zombie Is again active, Check your watch, watch your time. 15 minutes is 15 minutes, don’t skimp on 5. Special exceptions to the rules may be made upon request, though this Is unlikely. If you break your leg and are put in a cast, expect to have no exception made for you. You will probably be eaten unless you can fire your Nerf ordinance accurately with crutches, or can find an escort or body guard. 6. The game will begin on October 1, 7. Humans may take refuge in safezones, and can only be tagged in a killzone. Any area NOT.a killzone is considered a safezone, but certain safezones are mentioned below for clarity. 8. To nerf a zombie you must hit the zombie with a marshmallow or a clean balled-up sock. You must rot hit them in thé head ~ zombies hit in the head are not nerfed. Participants are also expected to pick up the socks and marshmallows after they are used and not leave them on sidewalks, streets, halls, or anywhere they shouldn't be left. If you are found discarding your nerf weapons inappropriately or not picking after, you will be removed from the game. * Anywhere you aren’t required to be by your school, work, or parents. * Outdoors - get indoors if you want safety.
