    Worth noting that @ganski1's swipe to protect @writingasjoe was a fumble. It was too late, but still lost the swipe. #TvsZ

  8. One of my goals in the game was to participate via my mobile over the weekend. Saturday morning I was tweeting and swiping but at some point my mobile failed me....

  11. ...as I did not receive notice of being turned until almost 48 hours after my last tweet! Do you see the timestamps here! Unbelievable. Not sure if my app failed, my provider, Twitter, or what!

  13. That's okay though because in my absence some Zombies were organizing for peace.

    @ganski1 Have a vegan chocolate cupcake. There are several left. We zombies are finding new food sources. No more flesh. #TvZ

  18. Having never partaken in human flesh, my hunger was satisfied. Peace became the call of the last two hours of the game.

    A last plea for peace. Zombies put down your teeth! Let us live in harmony with the humans! #zombiepeace #TvsZ

  20. My Twitter vs Zombie experience was brought full circle with a live discussion hosted at Duke with Peter Rorabaugh and Jesse Stomel.A really helpful treatment of using play to encourage collaboration and learning.
