'''The Opportunists Guidelines'''
While there is no hierarchy and no one will ever be told what to do, there are 5 simple guidelines that should be followed in order to make the basic concept work:
'''1. If you are (un)dead, behave like a typical zombie would'''
Should you die, you become one of the undead - act accordingly. Don't attack other zombies simply because they just made you what you are, don't rush to the next RP and get revived. Instead, give in to your desire to find some survivors and consume their tasty brains. If that means turning against the very people who defended your life yesterday, then so be it.
'''2. If you are alive, act like any other survivor would'''
So, you just got revived? You can finally breathe again! Don't just throw that away and jump out of the next window or let one of those undead things catch you. What you got is another chance at life - use it! Help your fellow survivors, fight the plague and destroy the zombies. Don't run around killing people - there are more then enough zombies on the loose already!
'''3. Don't turn against your (current) team'''
If you are undead, your teammates are the undead so don't attack them - attack humans, they taste better anyways (The only exception being: if you are a low level zombie and have no other means to gain experience, then do what must be done). If you are alive, then help the living. Don't kill other survivors, that would only result in more zombies chasing you! (With an exception for killing PKs who attacked you while you were human. Revenge is human, after all)
'''4. You don't chose when to revive or die - it's chosen for you'''
If you get killed, you shouldn't go looking for a revive right away. If you get revived, shouldn't chose to die again right away. You may actively change your team by dying willingly or seeking a revive only if your last death or revive took place approximately one week ago. (Naturally, this rule may be bent every now and then, but it shouldn't be broken - and bending it shouldn't become a habit either)
'''PK exemption clause:'''
Should you be the victim of a PK attack, it will be your choice whether or not to seek a revive. Since the act of killing another player defeats the idea of a game that's based on zombies vs. humans, no living Opportunist should be forced to stick to his code in the case of his death by the hands of another survivor. This should prevent Opportunists from become prime targets for PKs as well as making it a little harder to abuse our philosophies.
'''5. No Brain Rot'''
Of all possible skills the only one prohibited to members and supporters is Brain Rot, since it would undermine the very idea of being able to change sides at random.

The Opportunists Guidelines

While there is no hierarchy and no one will ever be told what to do, there are 5 simple guidelines that should be followed in order to make the basic concept work:


1. If you are (un)dead, behave like a typical zombie would

Should you die, you become one of the undead - act accordingly. Don't attack other zombies simply because they just made you what you are, don't rush to the next RP and get revived. Instead, give in to your desire to find some survivors and consume their tasty brains. If that means turning against the very people who defended your life yesterday, then so be it.


2. If you are alive, act like any other survivor would

So, you just got revived? You can finally breathe again! Don't just throw that away and jump out of the next window or let one of those undead things catch you. What you got is another chance at life - use it! Help your fellow survivors, fight the plague and destroy the zombies. Don't run around killing people - there are more then enough zombies on the loose already!


3. Don't turn against your (current) team

If you are undead, your teammates are the undead so don't attack them - attack humans, they taste better anyways (The only exception being: if you are a low level zombie and have no other means to gain experience, then do what must be done). If you are alive, then help the living. Don't kill other survivors, that would only result in more zombies chasing you! (With an exception for killing PKs who attacked you while you were human. Revenge is human, after all)


4. You don't chose when to revive or die - it's chosen for you

If you get killed, you shouldn't go looking for a revive right away. If you get revived, shouldn't chose to die again right away. You may actively change your team by dying willingly or seeking a revive only if your last death or revive took place approximately one week ago. (Naturally, this rule may be bent every now and then, but it shouldn't be broken - and bending it shouldn't become a habit either)

PK exemption clause: Should you be the victim of a PK attack, it will be your choice whether or not to seek a revive. Since the act of killing another player defeats the idea of a game that's based on zombies vs. humans, no living Opportunist should be forced to stick to his code in the case of his death by the hands of another survivor. This should prevent Opportunists from become prime targets for PKs as well as making it a little harder to abuse our philosophies.


5. No Brain Rot

Of all possible skills the only one prohibited to members and supporters is Brain Rot, since it would undermine the very idea of being able to change sides at random.
