#TvsZ - A Love Story

  1. The story starts, as many stories do, with a bad day. Nay, a bad week.

    I've been either sick or taking care of sick people all week. I'm done.

    We let our daughter stay home from school again today. Mistake. Husband has taken her so I get 10 blissful minutes of silence.

    The plan: spend 3 days at beg of week writing. Reality: I got sick, kids got sick, nothing got done, and I'm a wreck.

  7. But then, the promise of the #TvsZ raised my spirits.

    . . . here is a rule leak. If you receive a tweet from another player with #bite and #TvsZ in the tweet, you have a been bitten by a zombie.

    All bitten humans have exactly 5 minutes to respond to the offending zombie with a tweet including #dodge and #TvsZ, or . . .

    . . . to have another human in the game respond on his/her behalf with #swipe (essentially: protect) and #TvsZ in the tweet.

    #TvsZ BUT . . . humans can only use #dodge once in an hour. Zombies can only #bite once every half hour.

    #TvsZ Finally, zombies may only #bite humans who have been active on Twitter in the last five minutes. So no biting during off-Twitter times
