Alternate Rules Template
From Humans vs. Zombies Wiki

Introduction
This page should be used as a guideline for adding alternate rules to this wiki. Not everything will fit this formula, so feel free to bend it or break it as is needed.
For a list of rule sets, see the Alternate Rules page. Once you have created a page for your alternate rules, please add it to the list on that page.
Overview
The overview should contain the core summary of the rule set in no more than one paragraph. It should include the expected length of a game, where it can generally be played and any other information that sets this set of rules apart from others.
Location / Safe Zones
You should use this space to explain what the limitations and boundaries are for the game. Can it be played inside buildings? Are there hard boundaries (like a football field) or can players go wherever they want? If applicable, you can use this space to talk about time as well. I.E: "The game is paused at sundown and resumes at dawn."
Human Rules / zombie Rules
You should list team-specific rules in their own heading. If there's a third team, or a group of players that have specific and distinct rules you should make a separate heading for them as well.
Other Rules
This is a catch all for anything you haven't explained up until this point. As your rule set is play-testet you will use this heading to answer FAQs before they're asked.
Safety Rules
Always include safety rules. They're redundant and will probably look almost (if not exactly) identical to the safety rules in other rule sets. Just make sure that you include them.
DBag Clause
This is an optional rule, although we highly encourage its use. No rule set is perfect. You wont be able to catch every game-breaking loophole. This clause simply puts the responsibility for a fun game on the player's shoulders. The Goucher-Style Rules word it like this:
"Everyone plays Humans vs. Zombies to have fun, and the rules of HvZ only exist because we agree they do. That’s why the most important rule of Humans vs. Zombies is to treat your fellow players with respect, and gracefully accept when you have been tagged or stunned."
