OKAY the Mods have confirmed that Zombie Apocalypse will happen again this year: www.nationstates.net/page=news/2014/10/19/index.html
Like last year, a zombie apocalypse is expected to occur this Halloween, continuing our annual tradition. Is two years in a row enough to call something a tradition? Let's go with it anyway.
This time the server hamsters have been fed a bit extra and have been in training. The idea is handle the onslaught more smoothly although the apocalypse lasting 6 hours longer than last year means it'll be tough to beat the record 20% survival rate. Especially with certain nations (*cough* you know who you are *cough*) purposely trying to help the zombies take over our beloved NationStates.
What You Need to Know
The zombie apocalypse will begin in on 31 Oct 2014.
It will run for 36 hours.
As before, you will have three options: attempt to exterminate zombies with military force, try to research a cure, or join forces with the zombies.
Extermination quickly converts your zombies into dead citizens, posing no further risk to the uninfected.
Researching a cure slowly reduces your region's infection rate, and can even convert zombies into survivors.
Embracing the zombie hordes quickly increases your region's infection rate, as infection rates are region-based: if a region contains many nations with high numbers of zombies, all resident nations will become infected quicker.
The extermination and research options are more effective the more survivors you have, becoming ineffective if you wait until your military and scientific experts have mostly been eaten.
During the zombie apocalypse, Founders and Delegates can close the region's borders at no Influence cost. A special Z-Day Border Control feature will be available to facilitate this.

We should discuss what to do (lol) we as a region always end up doing quite badly so perhaps we should coordinate ahead of time. Shall we get the actve nations to all research a cure? What's the best way to go about it?
Feel free to share experiences and insights!
