Humans v.s. Zombies
In case you haven’t heard, a giant game of Zombies v.s. Humans is going on at Cornell University right now. If you see students running around with NERF guns in hand and blue bandanas tied to a thigh, you’ve just met a member of the human resistance (probably fleeing zombies). If they’re wearing a blue bandana on their head, look pale and ill, and walk with a peculiar lurch after the human resistance members, they’re definitely zombies.
Right now, I’m well and alive, but that could all change. Currently, out of about 150 players, 20 are zombies. You can follow a graph of their kills, too, if you’re interested:
The resources of interest in this game are as follows:
Update
Apparently some of the CU administration have decided that we need to register as an official ZvH organization to play at Cornell. This doesn’t seem reasonable, as we don’t want any official funding or sponsorship. As individuals, we should be able to conduct whatever form of group association we please. Why not call it the religion of ZvH instead? Then we’d be allowed. Or we could claim new races and persecution thereof…

Hey there,
I happened to run across your blog in hopes of finding out information about the Zombies vs. Humans game you have going on on campus. But my real goal is to find out if you could put me in touch the persons who started up this absolutely brilliant game. I attend SUNY Brockport and I love the idea of this game and would really like to get something like it started next year. If you could help me out at all, I would be indebted to you.
Thanks so much!
BTW-haven’t read much of your blog, but I like the looks of it. I’m highly entertained.
Here’s another MMORPG that might be worth implementing in real life:

Hey,
The Humans v. Zombies game originated on Goucher College’s campus a couple years back. I’ll post their official site with the rules and an updating kills list.

That’s the official Goucher College Zombies vs. Humans website. Enjoy!
That site shrike.goucher.edu only works for the goucher network, the link for outside viewers is…

this is only updated once a day unlike the goucher site.
Hey! I’m a Goucher student who’s played each time! This game is super fun, everyone should jump on board!
