Iowa City, IA- The River Fest-hosted game of “Humans vs. Zombies” came to a halt Tuesday after one of the players collided with a car.
Details on the Iowa City police’s daily activity log indicate a pedestrian collided with a vehicle at the intersection of Clinton and Jefferson Streets around 1:15 p.m. Tuesday, prompting a medical assistance call to police.
A modified game of tag, “Humans vs. Zombies” typically entails a “zombie” group and human group, differentiated by bandanas. “Zombies” wear a bandana on their heads and try to tag humans, who wear a bandana on their arms. Humans can then defend themselves against “zombies” with socks.
I'm sure my roommate freshman year and his nerd friends were heart broken to hear this news today. If you ask me, this was clearly the driver's fault for driving on the road, he was probably just picking on a innocent kid having good clean fun. I bet the driver is in a frat too.
UI senior Mark Gorski pointed out that the game is played nationwide and said the “399 of us who played responsibly” shouldn’t have been punished for one player’s “stupid mistake.”
Mark does have a good point, the game seems to have a massive nationwide following with 400 gamers. IMO, they all should be punished for participating in an event 1000x geekier than larping. At least in larping they can pretend to be hero's, in this game, these guys pretend to grab each others cocks. I bet these guys get laid all the time.
