I believe this should get the attention of most people here. I was told of this via Facebook. For those who don't have it, I present you with this.

Like, seriously. You start as a human. Stop being fools!
Y O U. S T A R T. A S. A. G O D D A M. H U M A N !
>>>ATTIRE:
>This zombie, and future victims of zombie attacks, will wear a bandanna around their head or neck, so that it is clearly visible.
>Humans will wear their bandanna around their wrist, or anywhere below their shoulders so that it is clearly visible.
>(Humans must wear their bandannas at all times when they are not in safe zones.)
>>>>>>>>UPDATE: I have been emailing 'Canteen', a support group and charity for young people living with cancer. I am hoping some bandannas can be organized as an alternative to the stuck-on letters- this means all profits will go to charity.
>Dressing up is OPTIONAL. The day after the event ends is the Melbourne Zombie Shuffle, so if you really feel the need, here's the link: www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=285589757130&ref=ts
>>>BEING INFECTED:
>Humans are converted to zombies after having their bandanna taken by a zombie. There is a two hour period wherein their transformation is not yet complete, and can still be safely around humans. But during this two hours you can not convert any humans.
>Zombies will die if they do not feed (tag humans) for more than 2 days. This disqualifies them from the game.
>Once infected, please join the ZOMBIES group and leave the humans group.

>>>THE ORACLE:
>You must report human conversions and zombie deaths to The Oracle so that we can find out the winners at the end of the week.
You can join one of the two listed groups. Please don't join both- it ruins the scores.
You can also call or email the Oracle; the Oracle is a rule keeper, and can solve dilemmas involving unfair infections due to not clearly visible bandanas etc. A number and email address will be posted closer to the event.
>>>WEAPONRY:
>Nerf guns/water pistols,
>Marshmallows,
>Rolled-up Socks
These items paralyse zombies for 5 minutes, and they are unable to attack humans.
**NO MODIFIED NERF GUNS/PAIN INDUCING STUFF**
WE CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH, PROJECTILE WEAPONS ONLY. THERE IS TO BE NO USE OF MELEE WEAPONS. BALLED UP SOCKS AND MARSHMALLOWS MUST BE THROWN. NERF BULLETS MUST BE FIRED FROM A NERF GUN. NO OTHER WEAPONS ARE TO BE USED.
(These are the only weapons that will paralyse zombies.)
>>>SAFE ZONES:
>second floor of all buildings (unless there is an elevator),
>any moving vehicle (unless stationary, with unlocked doors/open windows)
>public transport
>bathrooms (but only if you need to go),
>athletic practices,
>religious services,
>ANZAC Day Service,
>any place of work if the player is working (to and from work does not count... but using water pistols when they are on there way to work is cruel... you may be Zombies but you still have a heart)
>Zombies are not able to open a closed door/window if there are humans on the other side. They are, however, able to enter if there are no humans present, and are hence able to wait inside for humans to return...
>>>CURRENT ZOMBIES:
Owen Luby (Monash Zombie)
Hannah Frances Mary Spracklan-Holl (Melb Girls College Zombie)

Gabrielle Maree Pauchnik (AU Catholic)
>ZOMBIES FAQ ANSWERED
>Zombies don't really have that many things to stunt them taking over. They can run, they can jump, they can fly...They just can't go up stairs...(if you question this, first question the fa...Well just don't.)
>To convert a human the Zombies have to remove the bandanna from the Humans wrist, it doesn't matter if a zombie touches you any where, just as long as they don't get your bandanna you're fine, But Zombies-no sexual assault.
>Zombies can go in elevators and wheelchair ramps, it's just the stairs that THEY SHALL NOT PASS!
>Zombies can get into unlocked cars. We added that they can't go into moving cars for your safety. As GTA as it is we don't think that diving at a driver, pulling them out of the car and lunging for their wrist is really necessary. But parked cars- go for it.
>If there are only stairs at your workplace/university etc, of COURSE you can use them. Don't be inane. As long as you're not using them to cheat the system it's fine.
>HUMANS FAQ ANSWERED
>With defense, you can use water bombs BUT they are 8/10 times more trouble than good. No Heavy water pistols guys, no one like's being wet unless they planned for it or there's a storm.
>We understand that you are most likely going to be under siege at school and on public transport, But they are cold heartless zombies! They wait for no one. But you are safe the second class starts (or when warning bells go if your school or uni have them) but the second the class ends-you are no longer safe.
>Going to work. You aren't really safe... you just have to hope a zombie chasing you is kind try yelling "PLEASE, I'M GOING TO WORK. TAKE PITY ON ME"
>With your bandanna don't tie them up with like seven knots, to be fair it should only be done up enough so it just stays on. If you are running and it falls off, that does not count-even if the zombie picks it up.
This is the ultimate test of trust, endurance and teamwork. Can you overcome the zombie plague?
