Up Until Now!

Hey world,

So ive been pretty bad at this whole blogging things... i guess i wasnt made out to do it. But whatever! Im still going to keep you guys updated when i can!

So as you know, Utah State University holds it annual Humans vs. Zombies week during Res Life week so i got to participate in it and thinking in the beginning that i wont care when i die. So me and my roommate Taylor started out on Tuesday and signed up. Me and him were put into the Factions Red Soloman! The theme for this year was The War of the Harbingers which was a super cool idea! We went to all the night missions. The first one we went to we saw no action at all... it kind of disappointed me and made me feel like i was put in the group that wasnt capable enough to handle zombies... so i was ticked after that.

The next day we went to the day mission and that was a load of fun!! It was some kind of Zombie Safari mission where we got to hunt the zombies. Thats right. Hunt them!! EPIC!!! But there was a catch... there always is. They were normal zombies, they were super zombies. Such as:

Elephant Zombies: can only be hit by sock balls, no darts

Gazelles: They run away from you. (Wimps...)

Crab's: They can only be hit in the front, therefore their back are protected.

Deathtouch: You die no matter what when tagged, no Antidote will save you from him.

I believe thats all of the normal zombies that you should know of... But yeah, the Safari was fun! i took down a Elephant and a Crab zombie scoring 16 points for our faction Soloman!

The night mission after that was a super fun one and a way for me to prove myself! I was assigned to help out our fellow warriors in a gauntlet that the zombies had to run through. In doing so, i volunteered to become a super human for that nights mission! I got the position of Sniper! Its as long as im touching a tree of some sort im a safe zone and protected from being tagged by zombies in the exception of a death touch. I survived that night, but in the lose of our mission objective.... dang. Oh well! it was a super fun night mission and i regained my energy as a human!

The next day mission was the last day mission till the final one! So it was capture the flag Humans vs. Zombie style!! So here a synopsis of the game:

You have humans and zombies. You split the zombies into two groups of equal numbers and same goes for the humans. Each team has a pair of humans and zombies. The goal of the game is to retrieve the enemies flag. The humans are assigned to guard the flag only, they cannot go out and retrieve the flag so thats what the zombies are for, they must retrieve the flag. Zombies cant tag zombies unless you make a rule for defender zombies. So its an epic game! go out and try it!

So the day came for the final mission! You had to qualify to run the last 4 gauntlets of zombies... which kind of sucked... because i didnt make it. they grouped us into 5 groups of 4 or 5, i had 4, and then they put us against 8 zombies. I took out 3 zombies total and one snuck up from behind and tagged me... it stinked. So i was a zombie after that. in the end, we all gathered around and took pictures and celebrated! But our beloved Brice Colby, Harbinger of all Harbingers and bad A, was resigning his position in Humans vs. Zombies due to graduation. dang... he will be missed and loved and the game will never be the same without him!

So there you have it! my super cool humans vs. zombies experience!!

Later days,

Aaron Lam.
