Log in to the PRZ server and choose which faction you wish to serve, the Parks Department or the Anarchist Zombies. Hone your paperwork or brain-sucking skills depending on which side you join. If you want to be a Knope Knight, a Perkins Paladin, a Swanson Swordsman, or a Haverford Horseman, then build your government empire while fighting the zombie-players who are trying to take back Pawnee with mobocracy and an infinite hunger for bureaucratic (low cal, high fiber!) brains. If you choose the side of the Zombie Anarchists, then overrun the town, one park at a time. Who will win the right to rule over Pawnee?
