Preemptive Warming!!
For this years Halloween Celebration ZAC will be holding a costume contest, awarding those who are the best dress, best detailed, and the scariest members of the ZombiesAreComing family. Be them the walking dead, or the hunters of the undead.
While the contest is still being finalized we at ZAC want to give everyone a early heads up that we will be holding this contest. While entries will not be taken until it goes live on the first week of October this is the time for you to consider what you would like to do and to get the detail down. We will be taking submissions by email so start asking now to get the best digital camera you can find.
Submissions will be judge by a three person panel and the best Zombie Hunter and the best Zombie will receive awards and the winners will be posted on the site and given credit. We encourage all kinds of costumes regardless of the era that they come from. Be they the latest in the future of the undead to the ancient Roman Centurion holding fast against the undead menace. All will be judged by there own merits and creativity.
Warning: Contest is in finalization phase, prizes and categories may change by the time contest goes live.

Hmmm.

Do I get to participate since I’m a moderator? If not then I guess I’ll just dress up and put up a pic anyway for the fun of it.

-Horror face- Not the Princess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anybody have a problem if the admins get in on the action? I’m cool with it if yall are.
HMPlatinum on 06 Sep 2010 at 9:26 pm #
I guess I could do Zombie Leia.
On a personal level, I wouldn’t care if the admins played, too.
On an objective level, should one of them win, and they do the voting, there exists the “I CRY FOUL” issue.
I don’t say this to put a shadow on anyone’s integrity, just pointing out a potential issue.
I say let ‘em play. And then we take the best, and make full size targets for the next range day!

Does this mean I can dig out my saber and have the Empire come to the rescue for a change?

Oh good God!! Please, lord make me strong and not regret this idea when I get fifty pictures of grown men in Princess Leia costumes covered in blood and viscera! Even if the blood and gore is that of a chicken.
Anyway, with that lovely image out of my head and in all of yours, the original idea was that the admins would be doing the judging. Since I’ve been given the mandate that we need a three panel judge that would mean that the three primary admins, Myself, Zac Admin, and Angryvikingman would be the judges. As far as admin participation goes, they certainly could get all dressed up, just not be in the running for the prizes, I mean as long as you guys are going to be terrorizing our minds why can’t we return the favor? I was thinking of strapping on my RTAK, grabbing my AR-15, and wearing a tiger stripe thong and my boonie hat personally.

I would like to personally request Mr. Spontanius with his scavenged “blunt decapitating tool” and cup of tea from the Garage Door.
@Kain-Don’t forget the pink fuzzy slippers. It’s all in the spirit of the thing, of course.
Angryvikingman on 07 Sep 2010 at 12:43 am #
I think that maybe I’d do a video submission. Personally, I don’t have a costume, I have actual gear. I’ll be putting everything on my plate carrier, and web belt, so yeah… BTW, anyone interested in some LVL 4A rifle plates, I know a guy. $450…
Angryvikingman on 07 Sep 2010 at 12:45 am #
The guy in the pic looks like he has one of those Army of Two airsoft masks. I wouldn’t mind one of those if it’d go under my Helmet.
Angryvikingman on 07 Sep 2010 at 12:53 am #
Crap, yeah, I know 3 posts in a row…
I’m gonna submit an entry for everyone to see , but I’m not gonna be able to win. I’m also gonna make some paracord bracelets for the prizes too I guess.

Well I’ve finally gotten a handgun. Ruger P95. I know this has nothing to do with what the post is about, but due to my earlier posts about me not being comfortable with handgun thought I might throw in the latest edition to my MZPK.
McLuvin on 07 Sep 2010 at 1:53 pm #
The Ruger is a solid gun Sharpshooter. Practice with it and it will serve you well.
Sharpshooter on 07 Sep 2010 at 2:00 pm #
Yeah I’ve already taken it to the range a couple times (had it for about two weeks) and it seems pretty solid. A few things here and there, but I figured them out. Good 15 round clip. My one failing: I only have one clip for it. But I have a loader and 50 rounds for it right next to my bed haha.
McLuvin on 07 Sep 2010 at 4:20 pm #
Just to save you ridicule at the range, call it a magazine. Common mistake but experienced shooter’s will give you a hard time if you call it a clip.
McLuvin on 07 Sep 2010 at 4:21 pm #
why I put an apostrophe in shooters I do not know.
Sharpshooter on 07 Sep 2010 at 10:59 pm #
Ok thanks for the heads up.

What luck would we have if a zombie outbreak began the day of the contest and nobody could tell who was who.
3ID on 08 Sep 2010 at 4:06 pm #
that would be funny but the contest will let you dress up as what ever it my be a zombie, scared civ, or in PMC looking attire what ever your choice make it look good
wheelgunner on 09 Sep 2010 at 10:57 am #
@Sharpshooter-yeah, McLuvin gets anal about it, but it is a good point. I’ve had the same problem.
Personally, I’m going for anything that doesn’t verbally respond to Get the F-off my property.

@SharpShooter’s Friend:
Dude, that sucks! What the hell happened to him?
Angryvikingman on 19 Sep 2010 at 12:08 am #
Ok, well, maybe the bossman can track his IP and we can back trace him for you and you can go beat his ass.

Those look pretty cool Viking. I like the chain mail.
wheelgunner on 20 Sep 2010 at 7:09 pm #
What happened to Sharpshooters Friend?
Angryvikingman on 20 Sep 2010 at 11:08 pm #
Supposedly Sharpshooter wen blind, but evidently it was a prank by one of his friends.
Anyway…
WHOS ENTERING THIS CONTEST?!?!?
specially equipped Guardsman on 21 Sep 2010 at 9:28 am #
“WHOS ENTERING THIS CONTEST?!?!?”
Oh, I’ve got some ideas.
jon walmsley on 22 Sep 2010 at 9:37 am #
Nice to see the Crowbar getting some love as a weapon of choice in the main pic there! Never runs out of bullets and can be used to break into stores to stock up on supplies.
Can I just dress up as a giant crowbar?
HMPlatinum on 26 Sep 2010 at 1:25 pm #
I’m in, even it does give Kain a nightmare or two.
And, Kain, don’t make threats like that…..I can get my hands on a thong or two….and it makes ME shudder to think about it….
wheelgunner on 01 Oct 2010 at 11:13 pm #
I take full responsiblity. I’m so sorry!
Angryvikingman on 30 Oct 2010 at 8:43 pm #
Admin took down the contest because he was trying to get sponsors. Here it is the day before Halloween and the article STILL isn’t up. Since we only got a few entries before the Admin took the contest down, we’ll be awarding prizes to winners chosen from those who sent in pictures. Sorry, Kain and I had no control over this, so we’ll do what we can.
Kain - ZAC Weapon Consultant on 30 Oct 2010 at 9:56 pm #
If you do have any pics to enter we will still take entries until the middle of the week. You can contact me at kainzac@hotmail.com
Again we had no control of this, but we will do our damnedest to remedy this.
