NaGa DeMon: The Game Within a Game

I've decided to take part in NaGa DeMon this month. So I'm going to create a 20 minute, chaotic, vicious card game for 3-10 players on the theme of 'The Science of the Zombie Apocalypse'. I'll be posting a bit more regularly than usual, and will need some help playtesting the game.

So I'm running a game within the game (gamification-tastic!):

I've a small daughter, so not much spare time, so if you help me playtest the game, I'll award you Pointless Internet Points™ (PIPs). I'll keep a league table of everyone's points and award achievements for certain levels (who wants a PhD in Zombology?). In addition, at the end of the month I will hand-make, and post free of charge a signed and numbered copy of the final game to the people with the top five PIP scores.

How do you register for this exciting, yet pointless, opportunity? Post a comment on this blog post using a registered account (anonymous users are not valid). Every time you post a comment using that blogger account on any of my NaGa DeMon blog posts, I'll award you some PIPs equal to how helpful I find your feedback, I reserve the right to be capricious and unpredictable in my awarding of points, so no quibbling if you disagree.

Applications below please!

Update

Achievements for the game-within-a-game:
1PIP - Intern, you can clean the glasswear
5 PIP - Undergrad, you know almost as much about Zombology as the cleaner
10 PIP - MSc, you get to call the faculty by their first names
20 PIP - PhD, congratulations! Now get published.
30 PIP - Tenure. That's the last time you have to do any work! Yay!
50 PIP - Chair. You're a Professor of Zombology, you get to wear a fancy hat.
