-Reverse Psychology when I'm zombie trying to get humans.
-Double Reverse Psychology when it's experienced players as humans.
Example: That's how I got Ezrab today!! He thought he was one step a head of me, but I was actually 2 steps ahead on his point of view, and got him xD Get me?
Skills and techniques are one thing, but next I am going to talk about psychology. I have not told anything this before, but I do enjoy manipulating other players for my own advantage.
Ex: 1 (As a human)
In order to get fellow human players to watch my back when I am getting a weapon, watching a new position, or simply doing laps, I usually start firing in the direction where I want the humans to watch, whether there is a zombie there or not. Others human tend to shift their attention to that position regardless.
Ex: 2 (As a zombie)
When there is a LMS or a small group of humans guarding a high position (1-3 humans), I sometimes text "ladder" or "ladder almost there" purposely on all-speak. Human(s) tend to divert their attention to where the zombies usually make the ladder. However, I will then charge them head-on hoping to surprise them. If there were actually zombies forming a ladder when I said that though, well I apologize. 
Which one are you? |

I also heard about a kind of ZA mentorship program, where each mentor (senior ZA member) trains his or her student (trial ZA member). For the mentors who want to train your students to become elite players like youselves, I think this thread will be an excellent reference for your students.

Oh it's not? Well nvm then.
I talked with a few ZA trial members, and they made it sound like the mentorship program is made for skill though.

"As promised, you have been assigned an admin to act as mentor who will help you through your recruitment phase in ZÅ. Your mentor's task is to guide you to full membership in the clan; ask them any questions you may have and get to know them. They should be able to help you wherever you need it," is what I send to new recruits. Not sure where they got the skill thing from.

Well since the trial members can ask any question, if they do have any skill or strategy related question, referring them to this thread can help.
From the trial members I talked with on ProStats, few of them do have some skill-related questions they will like to ask their mentors.

True, but you also don't want to be the last, b/c otherwise zombies can infect you from behind (Ex: Rat Race).

damn, nice, master. thing is, i don't think i can do the crouchy thing like that - when i crouch and hold forwards i stop moving forwards for some reason so i have to jump and crouch in mid-air which means i don't have the control.

I think you tap crouch and it will keep you camouflaged.
My brain is open.

yes tap the crouch button, tapping it in a steady like 1 2 1 2 motion will keep your camo on and u can keep running. You don't want to hold down the crouch button. If your camo starts to fade i tap crouch as fast as i can then keep a steady motion when its on.

As a zombie, make sure you keep space from other zombies when charging in a group, esp. when you are invisible. That way, you will not be exposed in the crossfire when the humans are trying to shoot down another zombie. MasterA+'s video has some examples about the benefits of keeping space (Ex: on 8:12)

I am currently reading The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Laugh all you want, but it has actually given me a lot of tips about how to become a better player (human and zombie). Tips include:
1. analyzing and using different terrains (incline, elevation, ground floor, camping spots, etc)
2. attack planning
3. taking advantage of surroundings
4. strategic positioning (aka optimal camping strategies)
5. momentum and timing in attacks (when the group charge as zombies)
6. exploiting weak points
7. variation of playing style (so you won't be too predictable)
8. maneuvering and dodging attacks (Strafing)
9. cooperation within group (also how to become a leader and coordinator when necessary)
10. psych warfare
Here is the Wiki Page for more detail:

The topic I like to discuss is awareness.
The reason why I can survive long and save many other human players is because I always keep watch of my surroundings. Instead of looking at a fixed position, I keep on looking around my surroundings, on a constant basis. Moving around also helps as well.
Also be aware of chatbox, which may provide valuable information. For example, if one of your human teammates got infected, you know you have to be in high alert.
Tbh, the actual reason why I like to save my fellow humans whether I can is because if they do get infected later on, their infection notice are a good indicator of where the zombies are attacking (like a red flag). In other words, I save my fellow humans b/c I can use them as my bodyguards, whether they know it or not.
