Description: 
What is Zombie Skate? GWJ's very own never ending story, but with less Atreyu. All are invited and many are infected. It is a weekly Halo 3 get together that has a strong emphasis on fun. Having a good time always trumps skill, so stat loving spawn campers either need not apply or show up unsober. It's a delightful celebration of how teabagging need not be a boastful expression, but rather a joyous game mechanic. Takes place every Thursday, 8:00 PM Central Time. A wide variety of gametypes (like zombie) are played where the focus is intentionally not twitch based, so Goodjers of all experience levels are welcome. A big part of Zombie Skate is creating new gametypes that facilitate this end, and basically abusing Forge as much as possible. To join in on the shambling send an invite to a participant or someone in the [url=http://live.xbox.com/member/GWJ+Halo+Clan]Halo 3 Clan[/url]. Friends are welcome but be sure to let them know that while tomfoolery is mandatory, asshattery is prohibited. The GWJ Zombie Skate Halo 3 Bungie Happy Fun Group is [url=http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/gamerswithjobs/Group/GroupHome.aspx]here[/url].

In Ultima Online I used to poison hams and leave them on the ground in cities for people to pick up and eat. I can't believe how many people thought street ham was a good thing to eat. -Elliottx

I hope my copy of Halo 3 is in my hands by then. I think upgrading my shipping on my copy from Liongames was probably a very good thing. My very first Zombie Skate, I can't wait!

Should be a weekly event, so no worries.

I know it's only two days after release, but the undead throngs were a clamoring. In those two days if you can hammer out some ideas in the Forge with Zombie night in mind, go for it. Based off what I've read, it doesn't look like Forge is going to handle all of the scripting necessary to implement our previous gametypes into the engine completely; so honor rules are probably still going to be present. When coming up with your own variants, keep in mind that anything more than two honor rules is most likely too complicated. Better to keep it simple.

Something makes me think that the new tower of power will have a horn.

I'll stop by for a bit.

Just curious - is there a GWJ night for standard gametypes? I do love me some CTF, Assault, and straight-up Team Deathmatch. Or is that just known as "Every other night"?

Any one going to be willing to roll with me out into some public matches? A nice squad of four or eight could do some damage.

Every other night, at least at the start. Also, there is no rule that says we can't play standard games on Zombie night. We just prefer to keep it low key and stress free for people of all skill levels.

Definitely, although I would guess that a number of us will probably be playing a lot of co-op to begin with. Even still, I'm sure we could get together a pretty good group of people to run team matchmaking games with on a somewhat regular basis.

I would definitely be up for anything. I just hope I get my copy quickly.

If it comes by then (preordered from Best Buy online), I'll give it a shot. Otherwise, I'm with Hanta's plan.

You may find that Hanta's plan could significantly reduce the number of invites you will be getting once your copy does finally arrive. Hence, I would strongly recommend against it. Strongly.
