Zombie Apocalypse Showdown

RULES OF ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

CAN YOU SURVIVE THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE? OR WILL YOU BE A MINDLESS ZOMBIE INTENT ON EATING THE BRAINS OF HUMANS?



Here's how to play:

STEP 1: A "Round" goes until someone has rolled a "00" or a "01."  All rolls are made on a d100.  At the beginning of a Round, the roll is set at 50.

STEP 2: Start the game or round as human.  (Don't worry, that won't last long.)  Roll d100.

STEP 3:
If you roll a 100 or a 01, the round ends.  (See below.)

If you roll less than the person above you, then you are human.  (You either stay human and escape the zombies, or, if a zombie, you have been killed or received a cure and now post as a human.)

If you roll higher than the person above you, then you are a zombie.  (Either you remain a zombie or you have become infected and become a zombie.)

If you tie the person above you, then it's your choice.

STEP 4:
In your post, copy and paste your roll and then ADD A FUN NARRATIVE WITH THE RESULT BEING THE RESULT FROM YOUR ROLL (zombie or human).

(This can create a running narrative or community storytelling with the group of humans helping each other out, and zombies collaborating with grunts or whatever, or it can be an independent post.)

STEP 5(optional):
Include how many rolls you have made and been able to remain human or zombie.  The person with the highest amount of rolls without changing (minimum of 3) is Governor of the humans or King of the zombies.  YOU MUST ANNOUNCE THAT YOU HAVE BECOME GOVERNOR OR KING since this is an optional rule, and you must from then on post your streak number (the number of rolls that you have remained human or zombie).

Overthrow the rule of the person before you by having a longer streak of being a zombie or human.

RULES CLARIFICATIONS:
ROLLING A 100 OR A 01:
This ends the round.  The last roll is reset to 50.

A natural 100 (00) means that the zombies have conquered the world.  Everyone becomes a zombie and the game resets with everyone starting as a zombie.  (If anyone is king of the zombies at this point, he gets his name in the Hall of Fame.  A governor loses his spot as governor.)

A natural 01 means that the humans have ended the zombie plague.  The game resets with everyone starting as human. (If anyone is Governor of the humans at this point, he gets his name in the Hall of Fame.  If anyone is king of the zombies, he loses his spot and starts as human.)

SIMULTANEOUS POSTING
Use the dice roller log to determine what your roll means, even if the post order in this thread does not match the roll order in the dice log.

Results history:
Round 1: Humans win, no Gov
Round 2: Zombies win, no King
Round 3: Zombies win, Athena was Queen
Round 4: Humans win, no Gov
Round 5: Humans win, no Gov
Round 6: ongoing...
