Despite the fact that FrontierVille's two leading ladies have already shacked up in several players' homesteads, Zynga is still pushing the Bess-Fanny rivalry. In fact, the company is throwing a contest to decide who gets to be Queen of the Homestead. All you need to do is express your vote for Queen in this FrontierVille forum thread through words, picture or another art form by April 5 to qualify.
If you decide to write in a response, be sure to make your case in 30 sentences or less; artful responses are asked to be under 10 images. The grand prize winner will receive a whopping 500 Horseshoes and a FrontierVille t-shirt, while second and third runners up will earn 250 and 125 Horseshoes, respectively (and a t-shirt). Another 47 runners up will get a FrontierVille shirt as well. Just don't rock the new threads to any major gaming conventions: You're subject to the wrath of the haters.
Have you entered the contest yet? Who do you should reign as Queen of the Homestead?

Clown Zombie
Clown zombie would have a little zombie clown monkey. He would have big, brightly colored, bloody shoes with toes sticking out. He'd have a medium amount of health but he would move erratically (forwards, backwards and maybe into different rows!). As he walked the monkey would lob rotten bananas. When facing a plant, the monkey would jump off the clown's shoulder and they both would eat the plant faster. When up against a Wall-nut, the monkey would jump over it to attack the plant behind it. When injured badly, the clown would throw the monkey!
Submitted by Randy Ford.
Werewolf Zombie
Werewolf Zombie would be large, about the size of the giant zombie, and have above average strength. He would have straggly brown fur, with a big head and fangs bared. He skulks forward on 2 feet, with arms up in classic zombie style but alternately moving up and down -- so he moves slowly. He lets out an initial howl when he first enters the yard, and when facing a plant he growls and eats it savagely.

Stilts Zombie
Stilts Zombie would be a normal zombie using stilts. This zombie would only begin to eat plants after both stilts fall off. He would walk fast with the stilts, bounding over plants, eager to eat the brains of the humans inside the house. But after one stilt breaks, the zombie would have to hop until the other one broke as well, at which point the Stilts Zombie would be reduced to a regular zombie. The wooden stilts would be easy to break, and the zombie would have average defense like any usual zombie. :)

Evil Fairy Godmother Zombie
Evil Fairy Godmother Zombie would wear a tutu and carry a wand. Her wand would make all plants, Peashooters etc, fall asleep. Her weakness? Gold! While one may be able to kill her with the right amount of Flamingpeas etc, the most efficient way to kill her would be by popping out a Gold Peashooter (a Peashooter that shoots gold at the enemy). All this Evil Fairy Godmother wants is to consume your gold, and with a Gold Peashooter, one can surely finish her off easily. When facing a plant that she has already put to sleep with her lovely wand, she would dance over them gracefully and end up either being run over by the lawn mower, or entering your house to search for your gold to no avail and will, unfortunately, end up eating your BRAIN!

Skin Head Zombie
Skin Head/Punk Zombie would wear big doc martens, have punk/skin head hair, would have turned up jeans and a punk jacket. He would have high defense power. When being attacked by a flower he would use his doc marten boots to crush it. His hair would be like razor blades if he had a Mohican. He would also be able to pull sharp objects out of his jacket to throw at the flower. With his boots it would take just a few amount of shots to kill the plants, but with his other weapons it would take longer. LONG LIVE PUNK ZOMBIE.
Submitted by Beth Oldfield.
Devil Woman Zombie
I'd make a female zombie dressed in a red devil suit who breaths fire. When the zombie blew it's fire the plant will catch and burn out, but continue to catch the others ones on fire. To stop the fire from spreading the player would be forced to remove the surrounding plants, thus leaving the other zombies an easier way through. Her name would be She-fir-ombie.
Submitted by Shardae Parsons.
Magician Zombie
Magician Zombie is dressed in top hat and tails like a classical magician. When facing a plant, he would pull a zombie rabbit out of his hat, set it on the ground and it would e...at the plant. As the zombie rabbit eats the plant it would multiply, and these new zombie rabbits would start to eat other plants. The Magician Zombie would also have the power to disappear and reappear at another spot on the screen, if he is being attacked, by waving his magic wand.
Submitted by Russell Sapp.
Lounge Singer Zombie
Lounge Singer Zombie would be cheesy, carrying an old fashioned microphone and he would stop at random to serenade anyone around at th time. He would cause a distraction by singing, which could be a welcome momentary break fo a player. I picture an old leisure suit and a big toothy (albeit decayed) grin.
Submitted by John Nelson.
Creepy Cat Lady Zombie
Creepy Cat Lady Zombie would look old and dress old-school in something grandmas would wear. She would have a cat on her head or shoulder or what the hell, why not just have cats all over her? Her special ability would be to send weak, but fast small zombie cats.
Submitted by Bobby Minh Dao.
Blonde Bombshell Zombie
My perfect Zombie would be a blonde bombshell complete with a white dress, blonde big hair, and heels. She attacks plants by hugging and kissing them to death.
Submitted by Leitha Garrett Ingram.

Adventure World Level Up Giveaway gives more prizes for fan page 'Likes'
Leave it to Zynga to release yet another giveaway in one of its games requiring players to Like that game's particular Facebook fan page. Such is the case now with Adventure World, as a "Level Up Giveaway" has now launched, giving players a chance to walk away with either 100, 200 or 300 Adventure Cash (the game's premium currency) as the page gains more and more "Likes."
As of this writing, the fan page has around 600,000 Likes, but when it reaches three milestones: 1, 2 and 3 millions fans each, a giveaway will be held between all people that currently Like the fan page, and also enter the contest specifically via email. Don't worry - you'll only have to send them your name and Facebook ID so they know who exactly to reward.
Again, there will be three giveaways in all, with the first giving 25 people 100 Adventure Cash each. The second will reward 25 players 200 Adventure Cash each, and finally, the third giveaway will reward 25 fans a whopping 300 Adventure Cash each. As energy is such a valuable commodity in Adventure World, this Adventure Cash would give you plenty of room to purchase Energy Packs to really push yourself along further in the story of unlocking El Dorado. For a complete look at the rules and how to send in your email entry, check out the game's official forums.
What would you do with 100, 200 or 300 Adventure Cash? Would you spend it on Energy, or would you purchase building supplies? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
