Yes! I've been waiting for this one for a while!
Now then, I think I'm going to let a good friend of mine take over my campaign…

In conclusion, vote me for Zombie itp!

Crap, I completely forgot that. Can I change it so I'm running for skeleton instead? (hmmm, it does seem that i'm perfect for skeleton because of the not having a brain and all.)

Of course, I could run for zombieitp because I raise zombies, but it seems kinda weak to me.

I am the most likely candidate for Skeleton ITP, because while not always a skeleton, I'm always skeletal. Plus, skeletons are my favorite kind of undead. Besides, Skeletons make the coolest evil/cool or just plain evil cool things, like so:





Edit: And now, I want a shirt with Pac-Mans skeleton on it...

Zombie in the Playground? THAT BE ME!

Vote Talic for Zombie in the Playground! Why you ask? Well, wouldn't you want a dedicated zombie? A Zombie that knows what it's like to eat a brain?

Come on, let's look at the competition here. We've got a Wolfbane the Skellie, and some secondhand Addam's Family knockoff! Those ain't Zombies. I mean, they will be, once the zombie horde overwhelms they're city... But, here? In the Playground? Come on, you know who the REAL ZOMBAH is.

Talic for Zombie in the playground. Because this Brain ain't big enough for the two of us.

"Thank you for your support, Dallas Dakota. When I turn all the playgrounders into zombies, I'll make you a semi free-willed general.
Now then, Talic is it? You think I'm, and I quote, 'some secondhand Addams Family knockoff'? This is my heritage, not your 'Uncle Fester'. Once I was a mindless, rotting thing, shambling with the rest of you. But I clawed my way up to an intelligence once unheard of in the zombie community. I made my zombification a matter of choice. I embraced the negative energy pulsing through my veins – which is more then any other mindless zombie could accomplish. And I inspired more and more zombies to try and achieve greater skills without using a Michael Jackson video.
You preach the power of zombification to the masses, and for that, I commend you. But today you face the master of all things zombie, and if you think you can degrade me by comparing me to… "Uncle Fester"… you are sorely mistaken.

Some useful resources for those who wish to know more of zombies.

Be Cool to Zombies
Prison + Zombies = Awesome
Killing Time...

And the only one of the above not in my favorites list (on my coffee table)...

Science Channel Plug for the Zombie Survival Guide

Now, some here like the thought of zombies... Me? I'm a student of all things zombie. When I choose whether or not to get into a RPG? Does it have zombies? Since my first days on the Playground, my avatar has been one of the walking dead, and so shall it remain for all time.

Now, every zombie horde needs numbers... and I need yours. You alone have the power to bring forth a zombie apocalypse, this hallow's eve! Cast forth your votes, and BE HEARD!

"Please. Festy, Festy, Festy. If you claim that Zombification is a matter of choice for any, then you do not know what the TRUE Zombie is.

The true horror of the zombie isn't a flesh eating horde.

It's not about generals and leaders.

No, in a true zombie army, we're all soldiers. All equals.

No, the true horror of the zombie lies in humanity. Why else would every good zombie film, every good zombie movie... Why else would they start by showcasing the humanity of the doomed? Because, zombie isn't a choice. It's a destiny. The horror of the zombie is that your will, your essence, the very humanity that makes you who you are... that can be stripped away, laid bare, and you can become that which you fear. And it can be done without your choice. Without your will.

No the true horror of the zombie is that there is NO choice. Get your zombie general talk out of here. It's all empty campaign promises. All smoke and mirrors. No, in the true zombie army, we are all warriors. All brothers. And your lack of understanding shows what you cannot be.

"Did that slip in there? Stupid editor, not catching my mistakes…
No, you're right, Talic. Zombification is not a choice. But the greatest zombies, those who rise above the rest, are those who embrace their horrid fate and channel it into greater acts of evil.
But you have missed an even more important point. You remember all those zombies in those movies? They were defeated, using intelligence and ingenuity. I don't wait for my horde to be destroyed by tactics. I think. I plan. I prepare. And when the final confrontation begins – no, there won't even be any final confrontation. The hero will have been outsmarted by me before he got five steps into my castle of doom.
So keep your mindless undead, fated to be defeated by a kid with a gun and a brain. I'm the new zombie for the new generation, and I'm the one that will finally succeed in taking over the world.

"You and I must be watching different zombie movies. Intelligence? Ingenuity? Show me a movie where they've fought back the horde.

Here? Nope.
Here? Strike 2
One of these has gotta... nope.

No, another hallmark of the zombie is the relentless nature. They never care, they never tire. They never sleep, never slow, never cry. They don't feel pain, or joy, or hysteria. And eventually, no matter how smart you are... No matter how well you plan... You make that mistake. Or perhaps the guy that stood watch while you slept did. No matter. One person's mistake means everyone dies.

No, there are no winners in a zombie outbreak. I mean, maybe, if you classify such things as Land of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead as true zombie movies.

They're not. The first is more an alien movie. The second, a parody of zombie movies.

No, you have missed the most fundamental aspect of the zombie. You have fallen from the wayside, and are nothing more than a free willed meatbag.

What is that aspect? What is it to be a zombie? As any good zombie knows...

BRAINS IS FOR EATIN', NOT FOR THINKIN'!

That is all. Continue with your misguided foolish notions. Continue to hope that things were different. Hope that they change. Hope is the greatest lie wrought on those that feel, that care. Things won't change. Zombies come. People hide behind walls. People starve, or get careless, or get emotional. Zombies feed.

That is the Zombie I know. Take your talk of failure, and keep it where it belongs. In your campaign. I know of no failure here.

I'm curious for the people who want to be nominated for Skeleton itP

Do you put a skull at the top of your christmas tree?

Do fake skulls line your mantle and bookshelves?

Do you reticulate small skeletons in your free time?

If I had a skull to put on top of my Christmas tree I would certainly try to, but my mom probably wouldn't let me...

Most of the books I read have skulls on the cover, does that count?

I have tiny skeleton models, and I have some Vampire Counts Skeletons and Graveguard (skeletons with awesome armor and swords) and I've always liked the Necron and the Tomb Kings...

One could also nominate me for Skeleton in the Playground as I am really skinney. (Imagine a guy with a BMI of 13.8ish.)
Seriously.
I am about 5'3", and around 80 lbs. Everyone says I am a skeleton. So nominate Szilard for Skeleton in the Playground.

When the thread comes up anyway.

Official campaign speech to come.

Look the thing you really want in a zombie is innovation. The shambling masses of Talic have an appeal, and the smarter zombies proposed by Festy have a place as well. But what is really scary is the wierd and wonderful variety that zombies can come up with.

A zombie with a fresh gimick is the zombie we want, zombie sheep or whales, zombies with wings. Zombies stitched together from the corpses of hundreds, zombies who will harvest the flesh of the dead to put themselves together again. Death is infinite in it's diversity, and I believe zombies should be too.

I represent diversification in zombification. Don't be content with the limited aspects of zombiehood the others offer. Vote Selrahc.
