It's a day like any other. You wake up, open your computer, and log onto FE as you do every single day. You scroll past another Curtis and Vernon argument, a new Tim rant, another Drr grandmother story, a song that Zersch last listened to. You think to yourself that everything is as it should be.

What you don't know is that today is not your typical day on FE. A virus has been unleashed by the bots and is slowly but surely taking over Further Entertainment, one poster at a time. Will you survive the epidemic and become the last FE member standing? Or will you fall prey to the horrible disease known only as....




















This is a small, lighthearted, impromptu game that I made only because the name popped into my head. It's loosely based on a Humans vs. Zombies game my college campus played, very fun. Anyone can play and it takes virtually no effort at all. There's no player limit and no real sign ups. If you post in this thread, you're automatically playing. Play please!


HOW IT WORKS

The goal of the game is very simple, you must be the last person standing. There are two types of players:

SURVIVORS


Most players will start as a Survivor. After you post in this thread to sign up, you must take the above image and edit it into your signature to show everyone that you're playing. You MUST do this if you're playing, and it has to stay in your signature while the game goes on. As a Survivor, you'll be going about your normal posting routine on the forum. BUT BEWARE! Because your goal is to avoid falling prey to...

INFECTED


The Infected. These players have unfortunately contracted FEbola and are highly contagious. When the game begins, one Survivor will be randomly and secretly chosen to be Patient Zero. The disease will start with them, and they can't tell anyone that they're patient zero. It's their job to begin to spread FEbola around the forum.

GAMEPLAY

As the game begins, Patient Zero has 24 hours to infect any one Survivor. To infect a Survivor, all they must do is post within two minutes of a Survivor's post, anywhere on the entire forum. The FIRST Survivor that Patient Zero posts after in time will become an Infected. Once the initial 24 hours are up, I'll reveal who Patient Zero was, as well as who they infected. During that opening stage, feel free to post directly after people in order to freak them out for fun.

Once Patient Zero and their victim are revealed, the game shifts. First, the two Infected must each replace the Survivor image in their signature with an Infected one. You MUST have this!

From then on, the game continues in 24 hour periods. Every day, the Infected can attempt to spread FEbola onto one other person (each). To spread the disease, they must post within two minutes of a Survivor's post. Their post can be anything they want. Once they do this successfully, they must post the link to the successful infection in this thread. The first person they infect for that day will be their one and only victim. That person will then join the pool of Infected.

QUOTA

Some Survivors will say...HA! THAT'S EASY! I JUST WON'T POST ALL DAY! :D

NOT SO FAST PALS! Each one of you has a post quota that you must fulfill each day. Your post quota is your average posts per day on FE as of right now. You can find this number by going to your profile. Round it up, and that's how many posts you must post every day. Every 24 hours, at 11:00pm EST sharp, I'll be checking the top poster list to see if everyone filled their personal quota. If you didn't post enough times in that 24 hour span, you will immediately become Infected.

The Infected ALSO have a quota! An Infected player must infect a Survivor at least once every two days. If an Infected lasts a full 48 hour phase without infecting anyone successfully, they will succumb to the horrible, diarrhea like symptoms of FEbola and will die. That person will be automatically eliminated from the game.

EVENTS/ITEMS

Every so often, random events or items will be thrown out there by myself at random times. Some events may bait Survivors to show up and work together or individually to post for items, which runs the risk of being stalked and infected by an Infected player.



Mr. Vaccine is an example of an item! If you claim Mr. Vaccine by following whatever the instructions are, you may use it to fight off an infection, or even CURE an Infected player back to a Survivor (I'll announce what that certain vaccine can do).

END GAME

The game will end on a predetermined day (in about a week) depending on how many people end up joining. I'll announce that later.

Eventually, one by one, everyone will fall prey to FEbola. The Infected will begin to outnumber the Survivors, making life for them very difficult as they try to fulfill their quotas while avoiding the Infected. At that point, there will also be competition within the Infected as the number of available prey begins to lower and lower. The Infected at that point will begin to die out if they aren't successful.

The ultimate winner will be the last Survivor standing. If there's more than one Survivor at the time of the end date, we'll go into sudden death until eventually only one person will remain uninfected.

The secondary winner will be whichever Infected was able to successfully spread FEbola to the most people. We'll keep track of that number as the game goes on.

---------------------------------

That's it! Easy, silly little game. The more players the better. As I said, sign up just by posting in this thread. Post once and you're automatically in. Once you post, edit the Survivor image into your signature. I'll leave sign ups open for about a day, so join quick! Patient Zero will be informed Wednesday night.

Also, try not to take this TOO seriously and don't let it effect your posting habits

CAN YOU SURVIVE............................FEBOLA????!??!
