It’s a nice sunny day and you just got out of work. Time to go home and relax, maybe throw some burgers on the grill and chow down. You leave the office and walk out to your car in the parking lot. You’re almost to your car when someone pops out from behind a car and snaps your picture. That was odd, you think to yourself, until you turn around and see someone else with their arms outstretched toward you, mumbling about brains. You’ve just been the victim of a zombie attack.
In a handful of games you kill zombies, by the hundreds, for hours. But when do you get to play as the zombie? And when do you get to do it in real life as well? Never... Well, that’ll soon change with Junction3 and ScyberDragon’s Zombie Attack Game! In this picture posting game, you go out and zombie attack whoever. Your friends when they’re not expecting it, strangers, their grandma, and even their dog? Continue reading for the rules and point systems, and then get some quality pictures of your best zombie attacks.
Rules –
The goal is to have someone take your picture while you’re about to zombie attack someone else. You’re not supposed to actually attack them or cause any kind of bodily harm, just make it seem like you’re about to.
Please blur out the face of the victim to protect their privacy.
- Try to not draw attention to yourself, until after the attack. Pictures are void if the victims (including pets) are looking at you.
- Do not stage pictures
- Do not use duplicate pictures
- Do not zombie attack babies; it’s just not a good idea.
- Multiple submissions of pictures is allowed and encouraged.
- Please include which category your picture belongs to (i.e. sleeping, regular, pets, etc.)
- If you get into any kind of trouble, just be cool and hopefully they’ll just yell at you.
- You cannot get double victims while attacking someone in a crowd.
- Player's scores cannot drop below zero.
Obviously this game relies on an honor system and we both hope that people will play this game for fun, since that’s what it really comes down to. Try to not draw attention to yourself, until after the attack.
Point System –
Sleeping – .5pt
Regular (typical people) – 1pt
Middle Aged (older people) – 2pts
Pets (animals) – 3pts
Elderly (really older people) – 4pts
In a Crowd (at least 5 additional people) – 5pts
Bonus Points System –
Suits/Uniforms (work clothes) – +1pt
Double Victims (one zombie, two victims) – x2.5
Double Zombie (one victim, two zombies) – x2
Zombie on Zombie (Zombie attack on another zombie attacker) – x2 Make-up/Dress-up Attack (Face paint, ratty cloths) – Instead of gaining points, subtract equivalent points from another member
Half points will be represented by a hand emblem,
For every one point that is given, a member will receive an arm emblem,.
For every tenth point, a member will receive a head emblem, , in exchange for 10 hand emblems.
You can do pictures that are outside of the point system, but don’t expect special points for your ‘sweet back flip off of a dumpster while I do a spin into a zombie attack on my some random bystander’. You’ll get your points for it being a person, but probably nothing more… maybe rep for a cool picture.
The leader board will be updated as frequent as possible and will be a running total type of scoring. ScyberDragon and I will award whoever has the most amount of points with rep bi-weekly (cut-off will be 12EST Sunday night) for their efforts of getting great zombie attack pictures.
We want everyone to have fun with this game. Scare your friends, family and pets but not strangers (just get the pic for them). Pictures will probably be a bit slow at first but try and get in as many as you possibly can. There is no limit to your submissions so get in as many zombie attacks as possible.
Because it will be a bit slower at first, please feel free to let us know if you are interested in playing and if you are excited to zombie attack hundreds of people.

The hardest part will be finding an accomplice. I mean, sneaking up on someone to make a zombie-shot isn't that hard. Getting a picture out of it is way harder.
I'll try to shoot some pics, but I can't promise anything.
Just find a friend (accomplice) and raid the mall, a party or your parents. Have your friend walk around discretely and then get ready for the attack. Once you get going you can't stop.

I've seen people talking about wanting to participate in this game around the forums, but everyone seemed shaky on if they actually going to try to get some pictures. If you're really interested in participating in the game, could you post something in here saying that you are going to try. If you're iffy about it, I would suggest checking back in when some actual pictures get posted and maybe they'll convince you to do it.
This game seems really out of the norm lol. But I guess when we see syberdragon doing anything it ushually is out of the norm

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
Whoo hoo!! our first contestant. You are awarded 1pt for the first pic and 3pts for the second. Unfortunately, the rest do not fall under any of our categories.
Edit: please blur the victims faces, even if you do know them.

Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
As ScyberDragon and I had said, we will be awarding the first place person with rep, bi-weekly. Unfortunately, Eldermoon was the only person to post, but he's also in first place. Hopefully more people will start posting picture and try to knock Eldermoon from his first place spot. Thanks for posting, Eldermoon.

Congratulations Elder. It was a close call but you snuck into the lead at the last second. If you want to but Eldermoon from first place, make sure to submit some more zombie attack pics.

That's an awesome idea! Getting people to not stage it will be hard, but this is a really cool idea. Also, this is gonna be hard...
Good luck to all!
