Points, Roles & the Shop
Earning points
Section titled “Earning points”Points are earned only by playing — never bought.
- Survive each day — more points the more you chatted (risk = reward; lurkers earn the floor)
- Patient Zero — used tomorrow’s banned word more than anyone today? You’re named in the decree, and every death to your word pays you a bounty… while you live
- Zombie kill bounty — 40 points per assist during the Apocalypse
- Round-end bonuses — survivors, longest streak, loudest while alive
- Donations — the round’s top 10 scorers hold the Loudest Ten role
