Attention All Purdue Nerdfighters!!!

Attention all Purdue (West Lafayette) Nerdfighters:

Unless you’re a new Purdue student you probably know what Humans vs. Zombies is.  A few of my friends and I are trying to form an HVZ group comprised of Nerdfighters. Not
only does this give us a chance to get to meet new, awesome people, it gives us
a chance to broaden our Nerdfighter network. 
Oh… And of course we’re reducing world suck by ridding the campus of
those pesky zombies.

Now, if you’ve got no idea what Humans vs. Zombies is, I’ll explain it to you. It’s basically a giant game of tag, but you get to use Nerf guns. There are two sides, the humans, and the zombies. All but about 5 players
start off as humans. Those five players that are randomly chosen to be original
zombies get to start the infection. When a human is tagged by a zombie, they
become a zombie. Humans get to use socks and Nerf guns to defend themselves
from the horde.

There’s more to it than just that of course. There are more rules that go into a little more detail about how the game is played, but that’s basically how the game is played. During the day you go to classes and try to
survive. Sometimes there are optional missions during the day, but the real fun
comes at around 8 at night. Every night there is a mission that the players embark
on. These missions are usually things along the lines of item gathering,
holding a fort, attacking a fort, or escorting an important person somewhere.

It’s a really fun game and you should play. It’s also a really great way to meet new people, even if you’re antisocial. The only reason I know about Nerdfighteria is because I met an awesome person through HVZ.

So if you’re a Purdue student and interested in the game send me a message and join the group.

Oh... This year's game is the week before Halloween. That might be helpful to know. Make sure to look for info about the callouts for the game.

I did this at my undergrad college, but I so don't have the time now as a grad student. Missions every night? Alack, alas, I must decline.

It's cool to know there are actually Nerdfighters at Purdue, though!

[Ryan]

You don't HAVE to do the missions every night. It's just more fun if you do. I can totally understand not doing it because of grad school though. Good luck with your studies. I'll let you know when the Purdue Nerdfighters page is up on facebook.

Sweet!! We should try to have Nerdfighter gathering every so often, too.

[Ryan]

I definitely agree.
