Do I have to get infected? Nope! You can spend your time staying as a nice healthy human without any consequences! Some of us just like to rot. ;) However, only Zombies can access the Zombie Den, a Zombies-only shop! And with the new plot going on, only Zombies can get pastry boxes from the source, and go to the Underground.

How do disease get named? We make up the names! Feel free to suggest a name for a disease, try to make it match the first stage symptoms. We'll go with the one that gets the most approval.

What were the old diseases? You can see the 2009 diseases HERE, and the 2010 diseases HERE. These are old threads, DO NOT POST ON THEM.

Is there a group you can ping when new stages emerge? Yes there is! But PLEASE, get confirmation from someone that your disease has reached the next stage, and it's not just a kiss. Zombie Tracking Group, thanks to

How long does it take for a new stage to emerge? Between 14-16 hours. However, all stages are now here, there will be no more new stages.

What are the medications in the millionaire shop? [item=Dr. Lockhearts Amoricone][item=Dr. Lockhearts Amortisone] These are FAKE medications, they will not cure your disease. They will, however, add an extra effect to your avatar for a limited period of time.

When can I access the Zombie Shop? You can access Skitters shop during Stage 6.

How many stages will there be? 8 stages.

I pinged/commented/mailed you and you haven't answered me/updated the thread yet! What's going on?! I'm a senior in college, and I've got classes. :) Nothing more than that. Or I'm asleep. That works too. Don't worry, I'll get the thread updated as soon as possible! If you've got an advancing stage, feel free to ping the group! Just make sure it actually IS an advancing stage, and not just a kiss. ;) I think we've all made that mistake.

Does it matter what mask I use? It didn't last year, and I'm pretty sure it won't this year as well.

How can I tell if I'm infected? Go to the healer, if you're infected you'll see an image of your avatar with the disease.

I have marks all over my body that you don't have in your first post! Is this a new disease/progression? Probably not. Check HERE to see if you've got a kiss. Sometimes they look similar!

I've been refreshing for an hour, and I'm still not infected! What's going on? You've got bad luck, I'm afraid. The event is random, and if you keep refreshing you'll get it, EVENTUALLY. It might take you a long time though!

I like two diseases, can I get both? No, you only get one disease.

Can you get infected if you have a previous disease? Nope. You need to be all fresh and healthy if you want a disease.

How can I cure my disease? If you have a disease from 2009, you need to take , if you have a disease from 2010, you need

I see a new progression! An eye is red, and there are swirls of hearts! Or there's patches of red/black smears all over the HA! Nope, sorry, those are the effects from the fake cures.

Can I get cured NOW? Yes, yes you can! Louis L'Amour will create a cure for you if you give him 50 candy hearts. (It can be any candy hearts.)

Can I try for a new disease? Yes you can. Go ahead!
