Quisling

A Quisling is a slang term for a survivor so shell-shocked by the zombie outbreak that he or she has taken on zombie characteristics in order to cope within their own head. While still alive, quislings will resemble zombies in their actions, mannerisms, and communication styles. They should be avoided at all costs, and killed if possible. Death would be a kindness to them.

Roleplaying a quisling could be a legitimate form of PKing, as long as the player does not use weapons of any sort. To truly be a quisling, one must act like a zombie, so punch only!

Origin of the Term

The word 'Quisling', describing a human emulating a zombie, most likely originates from World War Z by Max Brooks. The creatures described in the book acted much the same as described above, and were convinced of their own zombified nature. In the book, there is no infighting amongst zombies; however, they could tell the difference between zombies and quislings, and therefore tore them apart.

The closest approximation of a quisling in-game would be that of a survivor character making hand attacks against other survivors, tearing down barricades, and imitating zombie speech. A survivor character who role plays sleeping on the streets and amongst zombie hordes is unlikely to ever find much success, at least until the term becomes more widely known.
