Ill address them

1. no zombies can't run.. but they can "lurch" (three step charge).. and stumble at a half run.. just no sprinting around
2. I may consider giving zombies 10 seconds of invulnerablility after being stunned
3. guns won't be that powerful.. ammo will be very limited
4. hand weapons will be rare
5. The humans will have objectives that will keep them on the move ( rescuing an important person, searching for ammo and weapon caches, manufacturing a cure from componenets found.
6. the zombies will become more numerous as time goes by.. and consequently more dangerous Due to their numbers
7. I may consider allowing some "smart" zombies that can employ hand weapons

Evening of October 18 .. Ill firm this up shortly

The event will be Free .. as in no cost to participate.. you must supply your own Eye/ Face protection ( a paintball mask is pretty much Ideal, they can be purchased at Canadian tire ) As long as you have full face protection Goggles ( polycarbonate lenses ) and some form of mask is good

I'd need a selection of 4 or 5 swords as well .. maybe a spear to be donated to be borrowed for this event

Id like to have 10 or so dedicated zombies to start out..

here are the proposed rules

General: the presence of a a coloured glowstick on any player means they are "out of game" and should be ignored by zombies and Humans. "out of game" people must not communicate with in game people, If you wish to communicate with an out of play person you must also go "out of Game" by exposing a glowing coloured glow stick.

Zombies

1. zombies can not be killed by guns
2.Zombies can not run except within 15 feet of "human flesh"
3.zombies kill by grabbing with 2 hands
4.zombies are stunned by bullets and by attacks with melee weapons.
5.Attacks with melee weapons imobilize the limb hit with the weapon. ( hit in the leg.. they have to crawl.. hit in the arm can't use the arm. A strike to the body "kills" the zombie ( they must respawn) The head is not a valid target.. hitting the head has no effect , Hitting a zombie when stunned has no effect ( you can't cut off their legs while they are stunned, once stunned zombies are not affected by additional attacks)
6.Zombies may die and respawn as a "fresh zombie" at will ( To respawn a zombie must spend 5 minutes motionless to represent time spent "regenerating" The zombie should to this in a place where they won't continue to be a target..)
7.When stunned Zombies fall to the ground and count to 30 .. then they may get up ( if they want to )

Humans:
1. die when grabbed by 2 zombie hands ( does not have to be attached to the same zombie, so one armed zombies can still kill if there is more than one of them) When killed by a Zombie you must respawn as a fresh zombie.
2.may be armed with a gun or a melee weapon. ( or nothing )
3.guns fire semi auto only, below 350fps
4.Melee weapons other than rubber knives will be supplied ( we will use foamy LARP weapons )
5. adhere to the ammo limits. Max starting loadout is 60 rounds for all weapons. Additional ammo will be hidden on the field along with melee weapons.
6. humans if shot become wounded and may not walk... they must crawl.. but they can still defend themselves with weapons. a healthy human can help you move. To be healed you must have a "aid kit" with you and you require the help of 2 people to administer aid, The healing process takes 5 minutes during which time the wounded player must remain sitting or laying down without moving. While healing the wounded person is helpless and may not act to defend themselves. "Aid Kits" are single use items and are destroyed by using them.
7. Humans can take ammo from other humans or Melee weapons , wounded humans can not stop someone from taking their ammo.


Finding Weapons:

Humans will start out with limited or no weapons .. anyone may have a rubber knife.
Weapons will be found as follows.
Cards describing found Items will be distributed on the field .. if a player finds a card describing a found item such as ( Assault rifle and 3 magazines ( 90 rounds ) ) then the player may then arm themselves as indicated on the card.. cards may be given to other player .
Players should bring their primary weapons and secondary weapons with them to the field and stow them at game control. If they find a card indicating a weapon upgrade then they may return to game control and arm themselves with thier own weapons as indicated on the card.

Melee weapons, ammo and aid kits will be "found" objects in that they will be physically hidden on the field
