Survival 2015!
Hello, I’m Titania McGee with Channel 5 News, your best source for up-to-date information.
The 6th Anniversary of the Great Pandemic tragedy begins today, a festival commonly known as ‘Survival’ by the citizens of Subeta. You may wish to join the celebration or pay your respects to those that left us in years past. Citizens are reminded that Shadowglen is off-limits for the duration of the Survival Celebration -- The Unliving have their own rituals and do not appreciate intrusion from outsiders. They do, however, welcome fledgling zombies into their community, and whilst there has been a lull population growth for the last two years, we have a certain…dare I say exceedingly handsome? young entrepreneur who may have the solution to this problem. I spoke Mr. Gunner Knight earlier today, and he had this to say about the situation.

The Underground Needs You!
Hello out there, infection fans! I’m Gunner Knight, welcoming you to another exciting anniversary of the start of unliving society. I’m also excited to welcome you to the United Zombie Alliance’s (in association with Genetech Labs LLC) thrilling new project, the Voluntary Infection Program.
Have you ever wanted to join the ranks of the unliving in a safe and controlled environment? Let our dedicated staff match you with one of our approved Infection Specialists in order to get you the disease of your choice! Already infected? Ask our knowledgeable team if becoming an Infection Specialist is right for you!
Remember, VIP isn’t just an acronym, it’s how you will be treated!
Exciting developments from Shadowglen, indeed! In other news, the eccentric ‘Skitters’ is back in business with his seasonal shop of gifts for the unliving. He had this to say to me when I interviewed him earlier:
Quote:
MANY NEW THINGS FOR YOU TO BUY. HUMANS MONEYS JUST AS GOOD. PRICES FOR SKU-AYE APARTMENTS VERY BIG. HAPPY WITH ALL COMMUNITY. NEW ITEMS ONLY, AVAILABLE NOW. OLD ITEMS READY LATER.
Sounds like an excellent shopping experience! And my last interviewee for the day was Louis L’amour, owner of L’amours Parlor.
Quote:
Darling, we have oodles of merchandise in the Parlor, here. Come in and have a look! There’s something for everyone. Just bring your heart to me! Candy heart that is. Love is in the air!
This is Titania McGee reporting for Channel 5 News, and frankly, thinking about making a trip to see Mr. Knight myself. Signing off!

I paid 750,000sp yesterday for the growth virus and haven't got it yet, why's everything taking so long...?
It's absolutely awesome that you brought back the old infection strains! Thank you so much! And you can even choose which one you want! I'm only a bit disappointed with the lamour parlour items this year. Last year I went crazy about all the items and wanted to buy the whole shop. This year, there is nothing I really want. I'm really hoping for more items to come and especially for pretty items from the CW contest!
Im with @SparkieSharkie on this... I thought the back door might have been a possible plot, a warning would have been nice since i was so head over heels on an old virus.... BUT NOPE... I'm stuck with leaches or some sort of sucker fish thingie :/
I'm quite upset there was not a "are you sure" popup warning when clicking on the "back door" option, I thought it may have been something plot related OR a separate page like "you can do this if" and click there. Not click that and BAM you can't buy a virus. Now I have to wait for whatever I have to progress and then hope I can find the right people to bite me? This is not cool.
The only things I'm loving more than Gunner here are those new short-haired wigs from Skitters and Louis' shops. They are seriously some of the best-looking wigs ever released imo, bless you artists.
omgg please tell me that first zombie in the last image is an infected clicker.. the url on the virus I have chosen has me so hopeful :o
love the changes! just one thing...
this dude is creeping me out! O.o just look at him! can you really trust a zombie with that many teeth, professionally styled hair, and obviously custom tailored clothes O.o
Kill him! Kill him before more of him pop up! Death to the freak!!!!!!!!!

Love the plushies, but one question? Why does the Feli get no love? It has been so long since any feli plushies have come out save for Peka Boo festival, and well he kind of didn't resemble any feli. IJS. Thanks for reading my whine! Love you guys <3
Oh Noes. I am trying to make myself look like Elsa from Frozen,but now I will be icky. I will tell her Mamaw's Elsa went over to The Walking Dead. Hee Hee Hee.
what would be awesome is if you go throw each stage of the virus at the end it unlocks every stage as a usable skin
One day we are going to get nice coloured blazers that dont have weird patterns or are oddly shaped and i will be content -sighs-
My time has come. Two years dreaming of being infected. I am so calm, so at peace now. ...Probably going to scream about this later though!
Woops. Completely forgot about Survival coming up, and used one of the vials the other day for Alchemist access. /facepalm Well, I did nearly forget my own birthday and Valentine's, too, so. Guess I gotta hope it wears off in time for me to still get one of the strains. >_< (Unless there's a cure for the vials that I couldn't find? I hadn't actually used one since last year.)
@Amber
Yep, and I said I'm excited about the old strains coming back (every year has always had a few new strains, so art argument seems.. off), but that excitement won't make up for much in the future.
I'll wait for my final opinion until the event is over or at least much more progressed, just putting my initial reaction out there. It really wasn't as negative as you seem to maybe think? But I might just be reading you wrong.
I get that the creative team has shrunk - although personally I think it's needed added too for a while now - and that is a reason for smaller events, sure, but not so much a long term one. I'm not explaining that super well but basically it seems like half the time we hear stuff is cut back because the team is down atm, and half the time we hear it's a policy/going forward change. It should really be the latter, but it feels so much more like the former.
/shrug. We'll see.

Oh yes! Now that I've figured out what old virus is which, I can get my old Boobitis back! I don't care about any of the other strains. That is the only one I want. :D Sorry Freckle Fever, you were an acceptable substitute.
Looks like the little guy didn't get free from the blast.(if that's the same one ( zapper guy))

I was old time zombie .. Virus was what i was been from day one .. then i noticed skitter wouldnt let me in .. seems from issuing a ticket about it .. the snowball fight we had .. took my long time zombie away .. they we nice to give me a skin to replce it but now what ,, i only see this year items in the zombie den .. i lost all the time i was a zombi .. now dont know whats up with infections .. i just want my zombie back from years ago .. i am so confused and lost
To people asking why their viruses haven't shown up immediately after being bitten, in years past, when you got infected, the strain didn't show up right away. Sometimes, if I'm remembering right, you wouldn't actually see anything different for a few hours, or not until the next day because they made it like an actual 'virus' that will grow slowly. Just because you're infected, doesn't mean it's instant that you see results or effects to what you're infected with. Just sayin'.
And if I remember right... you get hearts by kissing don't you? I don't remember.... 8/ I wasn't hear last year and it's been too long since I've done one of these events since lol. But all in all, very cool alternative to the usual way of being zombified. So many people unhappy with the thought of never having the chance to get zombie skins again, esp with the new wardrobe feature of taking off the skin and all. So, that's cool. =)
Might lookit what there is. I also wonder, on top of if you can only get one strain this go, does the lab shut down after the event? Or will you open it up for all year? I imagine if they want to 'grow' their population, it ought to be more available than just for a couple weeks a year. Just sayin'. =D

I want a new strain, but I don't know which ooooonnnnnnneeeeeee... I don't want to choose wrong, but what if the coolest sounding one is the least coolest looking one? What is the least cool sounding one is actually THE COOLEST ONE?
The items are killer. I'm loving all those sleek, gorgeous barrel rolls and pompadours. Stunning. Reminds me of me when I do victory rolls with a mini-pinwheel in my bangs ;w;
But, one tiny gripe... The year tabs don't work on mobile D: I can't click them to swap between years or even choose a year, so I can't shop. :<

The VIP page just changed for me. I had the Thoughtful, Dark option (500k) marked in green, and now I'm seeing that banner on the news. Not even seeing the options
Really curious about this event... When we get the base can we get reinfected? If yes, I guess we'll be able to unlock at least 2 bases. I wish we could unlock more, but that's awesome!
