When you are a ZOMBIE... (zombie specific rules)


This is some additional detail to the general game rules.

You never speak to Survivors. (Silence, moans, or grunts only.)
You may speak to other zombies, but never where a Survivor might hear (whisper if in doubt.)
You may not use radios or any other equipment. Nor move or take anything in the field. You may "camp" a game item if you find one, however.

Moving
Zombies normally move at a shuffling walk.
You may run if:
You see a Survivor with your own eyes (you may run after them specifically.)
You see another Zombie running (you may follow them.)
You MUST IMMEDIATELY STOP running if:
You no longer see with your own eyes the survivor you were running after (like, they turned a corner.)
The zombie you were following stops running (then you must stop too.)
Remember - it's not whether you know where they are, it's whether you can SEE them that decides whether you're allowed to run.
You may camp, lie in wait, or even play dead.

Attacking
Good sportsmanship and judgment is important here.
You attack Survivors by GRABBING or PALM TOUCHING onto them or their clothing/gear. A swipe or other glancing blow does nothing.
Stay away from the head and legs/feet for safety's sake. (No tripping, no tackling.)
One grab causes 1 wound on a survivor no matter how long it lasts. They will probably struggle free or kill you if it's just you (but they will take a wound.)
Ambushing/surrounding survivors (grabbing by more than 1 zombie) kills them immediately.

Getting Killed
When shot (or knife-killed), fall to the ground like a zombie.
Lie where you died for at least 30 seconds.
Then pull out your killrag to go respawn (try to do it when no players are around or looking, for atmosphere's sake.)

Respawning
Zombies respawn endlessly.
Zombies may respawn where they die as long as they are out of sight of survivors and approx 20 feet away.
Respawn by entering a respawn area, and remove your killrag. You have respawned!
You may respawn in the treeline surrounding the field (you are coming from the surrounding area, drawn by the commotion) as long as you enter the treeline away from the action (try not to be seen going in.)
You may respawn in a building or covered outdoor area (example: trenches) IF
You are out-of-sight of any Survivor when you entered the building (or cover) AND
You are out-of-sight of any survivor when you remove your killrag to actually respawn AND
You are at least (about) 20 feet away from any survivor.
(Basically respawn in the trees, or respawn inside any building - or outdoor cover - as long as no one sees you go in and no one's around when you actually respawn.)

Barricades
Barricades (marking tape to the 4 corners of a door/window) can only be removed by 2 zombies together. Just 2 can remove the barricade together.
* AT THE BEGINING OF THE GAME ZOMBIES MAY HIDE IN STRUCTURES WITHOUT TAKING DOWN THE BARRICADE, ANY STRUCTURE!!! But the Gun Shop and The Fort *

regular clothing or if you want to dress up wear whatever you like try and make it as cool as possible

These are not set in stone they are subject to change............
