From the visionary who brought you the cult classic Thread of the Living Dead comes FASTER UNDEAD ACTION in the hit soulless sequel of the season...
Dead Thread [/COLOR][/SIZE]
Thread of the Living Dead II [/COLOR][/SIZE]

Objective: If you're one of the living, try in vain to survive! If you're one of the living dead, braaaaiiiiiiiiiins...

How to Play:

If you're one of the living, just make a post to shoot any zombie actively advancing towards someone in this thread. If one's on top of you, make a post to push them away first. If more than two are on top of you, you die and become one of the undead!

If you're one of the undead, congratulations, you're the fast kind in this soulless sequel! Make a post first to rush towards a particular survivor (they must have posted on the discussion forum in the past 2 days), then another to jump on top of them. If you are pushed away, you can jump the same victim again, but if you aim for a new one, you must rush them first. If you die, you must make a post saying you (as a new zombie) rise from the dead first.

There is no limit to how many posts in a row either living or undead can make at a time. Both must rely on speed to succeed.

((I figure this will just become another pun thread, if that, but whatever. I'll start off as a zombie, though I likely won't make the first attack. Everyone is assumed to be one of the living unless they've been attacked or decide to start playing as one in their first post. The game begins when the first zombie is seen.))

Current survivors with a kill count (slashed means they are now dead and a zombie) :
BobTheMasher (6)
Baconfish (3)
maevie (1)
Koobie (2)

Current zombies (and how many times they've been shot) :
Gebohq (4)
Ford (2)
saberopus (5)
JM (0)
BobTheMasher (0)
ECHOMAN (0)
Tibby (1)
Baconfish (0)
Koobie (0)

Imma shoot at thin air.

I shoot Baconfish because he's acting crazy and I think maybe he got bitten. I shoot him until he stops moving. Gosh I hope I made the right decision and am not haunted by this.

Poor Baco.

I rush towards jm.

I shamble like mad towards JM as well!

I began trying to gnaw on JM.

OM NOM NOM!

I nom on jm too. He is starting to taste dead

I do stuff toward Echoman.

You should help Ford and I nom on JM first, saberopus! Then we can help you on Echoman.

Can I do that right now? If so: gnom gnom gnom on JM.

(I didn't reacquaint myself with the rules so I thought Ford was alluding to JM's actual in-game death.)

After feigning death to Bob I get up and shoot Geb. I may have also shot JM.

You bunch of ****ers. I taste like GRENADE, **** faces.

I really REALLY don't trust Baconfish now since he lied to me and also can dodge bullets (which were perfectly aimed) but I'll just keep my distance and shoot Ford. Oops I think I also shot JM. Are we pretty convinced that JM is extremely dead at this point? It seems like it.

Sorry, JM, between the zombies and the team-killing, I think you're dead. Well, soon to be undead.

Speaking of, ow.

I wise from my gwave. Mrrr....

I rush back toward Echoman.

I scramble towards Echoman as well!

I leap upon Echoman! Grakahsfgjkmsfgm....

I hurl myself onto Echoman's newly-encumbered form!

Man, all these people who are asleep are getting EFFED by these zombies.

Indeed. They need to learn not to sleep. Or get buddies to protect them.

Yeah man, ain't nobody payin' me enough to waste my ammo on all these lazy sleeping people. See ya echoman, nice knowin ya.

I sit down on the sidewalk.

I sneak up behind and lop off saberopus' head with a hatchet. Is it zombie murder if they aren't actively trying to kill someone?

****! *bleugh*

Well now I feel rather silly trying to gnaw on Echoman all by myself. Feasting on the brains of the living is a social thing, like eating crabs! It's the only time I get to hear how zombie-Grandma did in her last zombie-bingo night.

I respawn as the tank~!

Shuffle your decomposing ass over here, saberopus, and bring some zombie friends with you!

(I'm assuming that losing my head means I'm out of the game? Unless someone sits on the sidewalk next to it and it bites them)

((You get to still play, saberopus. The game is stacked against the survivors. It's mostly to see who can survive the longest.))

Yeah, see, all of you ****ers exploded. And you neglected to post the appropriate re-zombieing posts, dumb ****s.

To JM: Even if you hadn't been killed first (note the lack of "you can kill zombies after you die"), note that it says shoot any zombie, singular, per post. I made my re-zombie post when Baconfish shot me. Saberopus hadn't been killed until Bob lobbed off his head.

I speed-shamble toward Echoman's tasty flesh.

Geb, I had a grenade.

I hop onto Echoman and start munchin'.

Who else wants to dine on exquisite Echoman entrails? (sometimes I get confused where brains are located)

well I may as well start out living. I poke my shotgun out of the window and take Geb's head off. Mwahahaha....

(perhaps you should start a zombie deaths tally? That's two deaths for Geb!)

Oh yeah, a survivor kill-count would be nice. I shuffle toward 'poo.

What if the survivors can win by getting a certain amount of kills? Maybe if at any point the number of kills reaches, say, some multiple of the current number of zombies, or something? I haven't really thought through the ramifications of this to know whether it's really viable, but if you want another end condition to go along with 'all survivors die.'

You can think about it while you try to find your jaw. (I am shooting it off).
