When you're squatting a building with low HP, it can be very helpful to have another zombie kill you so that you can stand up (assuming you have Ankle Grab) as a more robust sentry. According to the Zombie Lexicon Guide, the pre-Death Rattle phrase "brnhr" (I phoneticize it as "burn her") has already been proposed for this purpose. I think it's worth encouraging Extinction squatters to learn this meaning. Sensible use should also be encouraged. It's quite risky to get yourself killed when there are only two zombies in the building, unless (a) you're in close email or IM contact with the other zombie, or (b) you log in compulsively every 30 min. But if there are half a dozen squatters it's an excellent idea.

Theres also the button "Jump out of a window" or whatever it says, instant death and all you have to do is walk back in.

That's a great idea, Ragged Robin! I thought of that exact same strategy maybe a month ago or so. I like your name for it! If your zombie has more advanced forms of communication, you can also add other expressions, like gesturing at yourself and saying "Harm zambah! Harm mah!" or something. A smart ZKing member of a survivor group won't actually kill you, he'll just attack you until you're down to less than 10 HPs or so. That allows a human member of his group to come in to finish you off and then dump your body. The reason why I didn't mention the "Burn Her" strategy here though is that I've encountered so few smart ZKers. LOL. I get ZKed about every other day by members of the DHPD. If one of them takes me down to 10 HPs, another one will come by soon enough and finish me off. When you throw yourself out a window as a zombie, you just bounce back up and land on your feet. LOL. There's a warning that says something like "Are you sure you want to jump out the window? It will kill you." But if you're a zombie, you just end up standing outside the building with the same amount of HPs.
