Think immune people die when attacked, get torn to shreds. Could prove problematic for resets...

The game is setup beforehand, a certain amount of people are allocated as patient zero, aka, zombies, a number of people can be allocated as soldiers who can shoot zombies and scientists can cure people who have become zombies. The idea of the game is to either see how long the forum can last until each member is a zombie or how quickly you can cure or kill zombies to end the epidemic. The game is setup from the plugins page so sadly, only admin level can start and restart the game which is quite disappointing. When the game is started you will have a tag under your avatar picture. For example, I can see that Draxy is infected and therefore he has the infected tag under his picture. If you were a Soldier, Kaiser, then under Draxy's name would be a button to kill him, if you click it, Draxy can no longer click his infect button on other peoples avatars and his infected tag turns to Dead. Options available allow us to alter how quickly the game can progress, for example, you can limit it so only three people can be bitten each hour. Or, the soldier might only have 5 rounds of ammunition. The Scientist might be allowed to cure one person every 10 minutes. And so on. What we really need to do is set the game up properly and then run it, it's only a light bit of humour but may as well do it properly. At this stage we're just running a couple of random tests to check how it all works before we do it properly and call for volunteers to be patient zero, solder, etc. Or, for fun, we might randomly select the people

Seems like an interesting functionality.

Well, while this was fun.. I think the novelty has worn off and we might be better served getting something that directly improves the functionality of the site. What do you think HG?

Unless anyone specifically wants to have it run again we'll remove it. Maybe bring it out once a month or something.
