Summer is over. School’s are opening, time to take out and brush those cold weather coats. Beach Holidays are over, and time to think full time about work.

These players were hit and should’ve been out of the game, but they persist; dead men still walking (and shooting), hence the name. Zombie-ism is highly contagious. When someone encounters a zombie and loses, that player will get frustrated and on the next rounds might zombie too. A zombie’s teammates can also be infected, when they see him cheat and get away with it without repercussions then they too might start zombie-ing.

On Cheating and Zombies
Brahma
Most of the time, we think of cheating as despicable. Cheating is what lazy people do. It’s the easy way out. Calling someone a cheater is rarely a compliment, and being cheated is never a good thing. Some may justify it, others proudly proclaim it, and others will deny their cheating vigorously, but it’s a common activity.
The Hakkotsu Makers
Brahma
Hakkotsu is a Japanese word for skeleton, a reference to death. Paradoxically however, P.R.T.D.’s use of “hakkotsu” as a symbol is to remind us of the terrible consequences in using lethal weaponry, which, more often than not, leads to death.
