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.

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!

Hooray! Put on my Rose skin for this. I wonder what this means for those of us who already have a virus strain.

Aw! That old scammer!Well, it looks like that first batch of injections I got was bad. I've returned your 25,000 sP, come back and see me if you want to try again. -Confucius
Oh great, thanks for confirming! c:
...I would ask if I'll still keep my 2011+ access, but I feel the Den might get opened for everyone soon / it's probably a surprise at this point, so I guess we'll just have to wait on that ^^

Blanche - Your previous base is safe, it's in the base system which means that it won't be altered by anything that happens this year, as long as you've got it unlocked there :)
Yeah, I'm waiting for the FAQ on that, as I want to be 100% sure my previous skin is safe even if I join for one or two new bases. (presuming we have to wait until they're completely developed to get bitten again, that is)
Am I missing something or the 25k option is completely useless? I got the event that it was refunded and tried again, but still nothing. It's still telling me I have to wait and it doesn't seem my base has any sort of infection.

...looks like it might be another bad batch; I got the same message.
On another note, I'm glad there are fewer items, I never have time to get enough hearts to buy all the things I want. I'm okay with it.

I have a theory that the strains available through biting this year won't be exactly the same as the original strains. For a few reasons:
Just a theory. :) Looking forward to seeing what happens.
- When the wardrobe skins thing was made, Keith said they had no plans to release old zombie skins. Of course that can change, but it wasn't that long ago.
- The staff refuse to show previews and are being a bit secretive about the strains, even not showing previews of the old strains. This makes sense only if they are not the same.
- The strains available this year aren't called the same thing as the original strains. No reason to do this otherwise.
- If zombie den access is currently based on possessing an old skin (now that all skins are in wardrobe) then giving out the old skins would give access to old years, which doesn't seem like a fair idea. So therefore the infections available this year would need to be slightly different.
- Doing it this way allows people to get similar old strains without annoying old zombies who have kept their skin for ages.
Just a theory. :) Looking forward to seeing what happens.
Seems there are a lot of people with questions. It would be awesome if a board was made at the Survival Celebrations explaining a little about the whole thing.
just got this

Sad to see not as many items coming out this year :c Could have compensated with a few more colours of things!
GOSH
HE HASNT BOUGHT THAT APPARTMENT YET
HOW
(also, those items are great! xD technically there should be a few more items stocked - or so I hope!! - whenever the results of the CW contest will be out ^-^)

can we apply for a new infection AND put a zombie skin back on to be an infection specialist too (without messing things up) or am i being too greedy? or am i just misunderstanding this entire thing because i only skim read the post
How can we try to get another virus I keep getting this
Thanks for your interest in becoming an Infection Specialist!
Unfortunately, your strain hasn't progressed far enough for your bite to be effective, but try again later!

@Tribunal We have maybe 14 items less than we did for 2013. Instead of focusing on just items for the Den and Louis' Shop, we have more infections as well as items we'll be adding elsewhere during Survival. :) We want to move away from doing a crazy amount of items for just one shop, especially because our creative team is small, and hit a number of our features!
I just had to compliment you on such a beautifully constructed news post! Absolutely eye catching :)
I also have not gotten an event about receiving my virus... Is the event not supposed to be instant?
@Amber... that's why I said short on everything. Past years may have been wear-heavy (which I get moving away from) but they also seemed to have more of everything, other collection items included.
It's cool if you guys have decided to cut back, and I get why (even if I don't agree), I'm just pointing out that it feels like a shortcoming to me.

I just want to know for sure that I can unlock them all permanently by purchasing or is it just a switch of skins each time you purchase....? /if another user bites you?
I hit the "pay 25k and get your infection now" button, but got a message ..."thanks but your infection hasn't developed enough." did I get scammed by the new guy?
Can someone answer a question for me:
If I choose one virus is that it, or can I pay to have a different strain if I feel like it?

Oh never mind, apparently wardrobe lagged and did not save when I tried to remove my previous zombie skin/base. Still, kinda confused here.
Will people who pounCed the old infection get to buy from the latter years? With my older strain I was able to buy from 2011? 2010? and up. Ann I not able to get that back when the survival is over? Old shop will open later but... I don't get it? I picked the new infection since I was unable to get past infections since I kept my older one so long... time for change I guess
You got a Emo Candy Heart!
Uh oh
