Aim of the game – Zombies hunt the Living!  Humans try to survive as long as possible!

ZOMBIE INFECTION - THE PLOT!

You're working in a secret biological-weapon research laboratory in the middle of nowhere. Much to your horror, one of the staff becomes INFECTED with a horrific strain you've all been working on and essentially turns into an angry super-strong horror machine. This INFECTED knows only one thing - it wants to self replicate by attacking and infecting others!!!

The authorities have set up a quarantine area (cough - world border) so all the lab staff trapped inside the quarantine must try to survive by their wits!

"Zombie's gonna eat your brainnnnnssss…"

Basics of the game:

• At game start, each player is given a random role, of either INFECTED (Zombie), or LIVING (lab technician).
• If you're Infected - try to BITE the Living to death to turn them into INFECTED!!!
• The LIVING score points by staying alive for as long as possible - and by stunning Zombies!
• Zombies score points by infecting the Living!
• Zombies get bonus points when someone they infected goes on to infect others.
• Winner is the player with the highest score at game end!

Zombie superpowers:

• Respawn endlessly like the walking nightmares they are - although the Living can stun zombies temporarily.
• First-generation zombies can run faster than the Living.  Argh.
• Can't drown.  THAT WHICH IS DEAD CANNOT DIE!
• No fall damage.
• Super-powered senses (ahem - cough - a compass) to sniff out the Living.  The compass points to the nearest Living player. When a zombie holds their compass, they also see a particle trail leading to the nearest LIVING player.
• Limitless green ZOMBIE BLOCKS.

Downsides of being a zombie:

• Can't carry swords / tools / items, nor wear armour.
• Can't craft.
• A bit stupid, smelly and rotten.

The Living have got this going for them:

• Loot chest at game start!
• Can wear armour, use weapons, bows etc.
• Ability to craft, pick up items, and do clever stuff.
• Still breathing.

At game start:

• If you're a Zombie, try to break out of the laboratory first, to find lab staff + try to INFECT them all!
• If you're a Living, look for the loot chest beside your spawn point which will have random items in it (these refill every 3 minutes), and then RUN AWAY - try to get away from the zombies!  Search for resources, craft weapons, tools, etc to help you escape, and don't let the zombies kill you!

Have fun!
