Oh my God. I love HvZ. Ive played every semester at my University for the past 3 years now. Ours starts next week! So stoked and excited!!
But, my advice? Don't stay alive. :] Becoming a part of the Horde is MUCH more fun. Especially if you are a super zombie. I always voluntarily sacrifice myself to the first zombie (Since my friends are the ones that have put it together every year) right off the bat. It's WAY more fun to catch people unaware to nom on their brains....And if you're a super zombie, you scoff at their faces as they realize that they aren't safe. I'm usually the super zombie where I can only be shot at in the front, so if bullets/socks hit me in the back, I'm still alive. Nothing is more priceless than watching their reactions as you run full force towards them, backwards, hands outsretched....Bloody brilliant.
And not to mention you get to live the whole week of HvZ in an awesome state of awesomeness, safety, and serenity as the humans live in constant paranoia! I stayed human the very first time I played three years ago for the whole week, and it was honestly the most boring thing ever.
But if you want to stay alive...lbecome a sock ninja. I.e., walk around with your human armband on, hands constantly in a hoodie pocket grasping onto some socks. Nerf guns typicallly don't work in a mob situation, but loads of socks do. Sock ninjas were the only humans I never messed with...because they would almost certainly always win. One lady, in particular, who was probably in her late 30's, was playing as a sock ninja...She single handedly fought off an ambush of 15 zombies with socks alone. Then she fought off another wave that came and ambushed her 5 minutes later.
And also....Just try not to break rule number 4. Hopefully the rules are the same...but Rule #4 reads as follows:
Don't be a douche.
As your university continues to do this semester by semester, it will get bigger and bigger...and more rules will have to come into play. Like, for instance, any wheeled vehicle is a safe zone. But if you purposely are riding around on a scooter shooting zombies as you drive by, you're breaking rule #4, and thus those bullets won't count....and you're just being a douche. Same thing with camping on stairs. (Stairs were off limits at my uni, since there were so many).
And I'm sad that you only have missions every 2 days? :[ Missions are the best part. Do them at all costs! We had missions every day at 4PM, and at 9PM. THe final battle would take place on Saturday night. This semester so far we have 900 students signed up last time I checked...which is outrageously fun. :3
