The Zombie
Apocalypse Game
______________________________________



HOW TO PLAY
A player starts the game off at the beginning
of the Zombie Apocalypse. That player creates
a scenario and the rest of the players reply with
their choices/methods for surviving the scenario
using only the information given. The scenario
creator must create situations that can be survived,
and should have a prime survival method in mind.
The player(s) replying with the correct choices
(whatever leads to their survival of the scenario)
will be selected by the scenario creator as "survivors".
The first "survivor" will then create the next scenario
to move the story forward linearly.


SCORING
Each first survivor will accumulate a point every time
they are the first to survive a scenario. These survivors
and their points will be edited into the scores portion of
this post. There are no points for surviving second,
shabbily, or becoming a casualty. But DO submit your
survival method, as the first survivor's method can
be bested. The best method then becomes the "first".
More on this below.


SCENARIOS
Scenarios should be reasonably realistic and solutions
should not be impossible to figure out.. nor should they
be too obvious. The idea is to create a scenario that
allows the player to weigh options and get creative, keeping
in mind that the player can only use the information
provided. Scenarios should include all details that pertain
to survival, no matter how ambiguous, as they may be used
by another survivor to better effect.
If a non-first survivor presents a better method of survival
that makes better use of the tools provided than the first
correct survivor's method, the scenario creator is obligated
to favor the better method. If the creator does not, then the
majority rule of all other players decides. A favored decision in
either case results in "first survivor" statuses, complete with
appropriate rankings.

Also... In order to attempt to survive a scenario, please quote
the scenario itself and include your solution outside of it. All
other posts will be considered comments, and are not eligible as
survival attempts.



SURVIVING THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE
Once the story has reached its conclusion, (25 scenarios) the round
will end. The creator of the 25th scenario is an honor, as this player
will dictate how the story ends. When the final scenario is survived,
all the player's scores will be tallied and the player with the most
survivals will have the honor of writing his Zombie Apocalypse Legend.
The round will have been concluded and a new round will begin, with
the winner of the previous round creating the first scenario for the next.



THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE LEGEND
There will be a closed thread called The Zombie Apocalypse Legends.
Each round winner can write and submit their own story based on all the
scenarios in the round. They can write themselves as the main protagonist
and claim their stake as a Zombie Apocalypse Legend. For scenarios that
were survived by other players, the 'legendary' may choose to include those
players as characters who 'saved his/her ass' in the story. They may also
choose to write themselves as the sole hero in those scenarios. The decision
will make obvious what kind of player you are, so choose wisely, and remember
the rule of Karma, because maybe the next Legendary may steal your glory too.
