Fiddler's Green Syndrome

Fiddler's Green Syndrome is a behavioral phenomenon found among some survivor populations that appeared in Zombie Apocalypse, a popular web-based computer game.

The Fiddler's Green Syndrome is characterised by a pathologically obsessive over-barricading of resource buildings and other entry points. It, quite paradoxically, occurs most commonly in suburbs with the highest survivor-to-zombie ratios.

Fiddler's Green Syndrome seems distinct from common, isolated occurances of "over-barricading" in that it tends to grow to systemic proportions, often affecting entire suburbs and regions, and their survivor populations.

This syndrome was first classified by the renowned back-alley psychoanalyist and urban-apocalypse physiognomist, Dr. Hoopy Freud, also from the same game.
