Green Hair and Zombies

I heard about this game the other day from one of my friends who played a campus-wide version at her college. It's called Humans vs Zombies. Everyone except one lucky player (Patient Zero) starts as a human, outfitted with balled-up socks and Nerf guns(to stun zombies). Every player gets a bandanna, and worn around the head or neck means that you're human, and anywhere else means that you are a zombie. Creativity is encouraged but it does have to be visible. Zombies must "eat" every 48 hours and the game ends if all the zombies are dead or all the humans are dead. Zombies can only die by starvation, though. Everyone remains in the game until it is over. The total zombie/human count and what's going on are tracked on the website, so cheating should be hard? It sounds like a lot of fun but if people want to play Spoon Assassins we can do that too.

Edit: I'm not allowed to post to the iFoundry email exploder. But there will be an email. Eventually.

Friday Night Update

How did people live before technology? I've been trying to find Derek for about 45 minutes now, since about 7:50. Apparently he managed to find ISR, get into the stairwell, find my room, and ask my roommate where I was, then get back out the building, without being seen by me or anyone who I asked to keep an eye out for him.

The source of this problem is that my phone is bricked. As a tracfone, it becomes worse than useless as soon as the minutes run out. It won't even accept incoming calls.

So the planned progress on the TIPS identity video isn't happening, and that's why. Moreover I realized how much I rely on my phone.
