Site Update
After a few days worth of battle, the Spoopy Mansion has finally been boarded up so that it can be deep cleaned to remove any lingering green particles, and so that no one has to deal with that unbearable, gassy smell.
"Okay, it seems like everyone is back to normal now," Querel said after ensuring that no one was particularly green or gooey. "I guess I should say sorry; I didn't give you as potent a vaccine as I should have to make you completely immune because we needed the show to go on for a little longer."
Seeing some confusion on a few faces, Querel continued speaking. "So, I'm sure you all know that Greta and Aketch have been a little different ever since that candy fiasco they pulled. Well, we had our suspicions over what happened, but we couldn't really... prove anything, y'know? At least, we wanted to be careful about it, since we didn't know what they would do if we acted too soon."
With all eyes on him, Querel took that as a sign that everyone wanted to know more. "It seems like those two were enthralled by the chaos all of you created, and so we were able to get the upper-hand on them. Tech was able to place a tracker on them, and he went with Miksa to track them down. I'm sure wherever they're going, that's where the real Greta and Aketch are."
Even after that explanation, everyone seemed to be waiting expectantly. "... This isn't about a 'reward' or 'prizes,' it is?" After a bit of clamoring from his audience, Querel sighed deeply. "Okay, okay..."
As stated before, participation was the greatest factor in this event, and so the trophies will be handed out in regard to that! The top 10 participants will receive a Gold Zombie A-chomp-calypse Trophy, regardless of which team they were on! The next top 25 participants will receive a Silver Zombie A-chomp-calypse Trophy, and everyone who posted at least ten times will receive a Bronze Zombie-A-chomp-calypse Trophy for their participation!
Additionally, we have some "team based" achievements for those who posted 10+ times!
A shirt that reads "I survived the Zombie A-chomp-calypse and all I got was this dumb shirt." This item is a reward for those who switched teams during the Zombie A-Chomp-calypse event and unlocks the "Jack of All Teams" achievement.
You never know when zombies may attack, so it's best to always be prepared! This item is a reward for those who began as an Uninfected player and was never infected during the Zombie A-chomp-calypse event, unlocking the "I'm a Survivor" achievement.
It seems like someone didn't finish their dinner! This item is a reward for those who began as an Infected player and was never vaccinated during the Zombie A-chomp-calypse event, unlocking the "Brain Connoisseur" achievement.
We know that this event was a bit different in comparison to our usual events, but we hope that everyone enjoyed the change of pace and perhaps even made a few new friends! We will take into consideration the feedback thread that was created, and due to various instances of unsportsmanlike conduct, we will also reevaluate how we handle those cases in the future so that the events remain fun for everyone. The story will continue during our winter festivities, so please look forward to it!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh okay, lol. XD
I don't feel like it was spelled out clearly enough in News Posts that participation was the most important thing; the only time I really remember reading it was in replies to me on the Spoopy Mansion board (which not everyone would've seen, obviously).
BUT maybe I was just being dense. ;P I can be, if there aren't clear rules about everything explained ahead of time. ...But I know that wouldn't have been as fun as the thrill of discovery for people, so meh. ;D
Some people deal with confusion better than others, that's just how human beings are. I'm glad Fox made that Feedback thread so we could consider things in a constructive way.

I think it was spelled out pretty clearly, to be honest!
"Even though this may be seen as a team event, contribution is key! Please do your best no matter which team you are on, and have fun!"

It was the reason I told you that you weren't saving anyone by telling them not to post, haha.
" If you tell people not to post, you're not "saving" them, you're hurting their chances of doing well in the event."

I don't mind though, still got a trophy. If I kept posting in that one topic when the boards were all destroyed the infected would GET ME ON THEIR SIDE O.O

@Lacia Yes, that's why I stopped doing that and switched to "it's dangerous to post all by yourself, but they say participation is key, so do you want to coordinate for something?? Check my guide for how to play as Uninfected" etc.

I read it more like a "if you don't have a team of people with you don't post cause you're gonna be swarmed and eaten" Alana (#70812)

Trophies vary based on how everyone did (think similarly to how we price the Seasonal Shop). Ten posts was mentioned because that's what bronze evened out to, not that it was the definite goal number from the beginning. That's why it was stressed to participate as much as possible in the various news posts and threads.
