AquaQuestion.jpg
Abbreviation: COTD
Group Numbers: 10-20 (active)
Leadership: None: all are equal.
Goals: To help each other and any other groups that may call for our aid.
Recruitment Policy: Active (or not so active) members of the Horror City boards.
Contact: This group has no prestige or honour for joining it; we are merely a group of internet friends who are fans of horror. Thus, there is no point in releasing contact information.

The Dark History of the Children

The Children began as a group of active UD players on the Horror City board, who coordinated actions and made every effort to help each other out. After a short period of this, they thought they needed a name for themselves and held a poll for suggestions. After a lengthy deliberation process, a suggestion born of three - "Children of the Darque" - won, and the group continued doing pretty much what they had been before, now with a nifty new name. They still yearn for a Survival Horror board to call their own, however.

The Children

All the COTD really want to do is help each other out, live in harmony and kick some zombie ass while they're at it. The group has no leadership at all, as it is formed not as an attack or defence but a social group. The closest thing to leadership that exists within the group is a tendency to inform the other members of their whereabouts and activities. Everyone has a soft spot for the group's name inspiration, Darque, and the Horror City board founder, Drucilla, however. (They're cuties =) - JMY) Current HQ is an undisclosed location within Yagoton, with members regularly re-evaluating its location and shifting if necessary. One need only follow the trail of survival horror discussion and Silent Hill references to find it.

FAQ

Greetings, Horror Fans! =)

Due to recent events, this wiki is getting a much needed update in the form of a FAQ to hopefully answer all of your questions. =D

Q: Who's in charge?

A: No one, we have no leadership, no guild structure, no requirements and no real agenda. Most, if not all, members come from a common message board and the only thing we really do is come to each other's aid as needed. Otherwise we tend to go our seperate ways.

NOTE: Some of us have coordinated defenses after being attacked by the Cannibal Corps in the past.

Q: How do I join?

A: Sadly, we do no recruit. Never have, and most likely never will. If someone asks for help, we tend to supply it, unless they're a proven PKer, but there is no real "group" to join, this is more a central point for socialing and aid more than anything else. =)

NOTE: If someone asks you to join, ignore them, they're probably trying to cause trouble. >_<

Q: Who are your members?

A: We have no real member base, people come and go as they wish. Though a few of us have maintained long term connections to the group. The four oldest members tend to stick around, and they are (in no particular order) LatexZombiChick booaimiDru nml22

Q: I've come across someone not on your list, are they really a member?

A: Possibly. o.O?

Some members have had alternate accounts in the past (some even got in trouble for zerging, despite warnings from the rest of us) and if someone wanted to add our group name we would have no real problem with it. But it should be noted that unless they post on our common message board, they aren't really a "member" since we would have no real knowledge of them.

Beware of imposters causing trouble. >_<

Q: I think the CotD are evil PKers/Zergers, what should I do?

A: Only you can decide this. The CotD is a support and socialization group. We do not, nor will not lower ourselves to "Player Kill".

NOTE: We will defend our "members" if they are attacked though, and as such have had to put down some bad elements in the past. But we do not, as a rule, attack unless provoked. Well, except zombies! =)

Q: Someone keeps spraying grafitti slandering my group, claiming it's from you.

A: I cannot, at this time, confirm this. But I highly doubt one of our members has done this. If someone sprays grafitti, spray over it.

Q: I hear you're at war, what's up with that?

A: Because of the increasing hostilities of the Cannibal Corps against people with CotD in their profile (and our alternate characters/friends on the Horror City Boards) a few of us have decided to coordinate our efforts in the form of an official "declared war" between our two groups.

NOTE: Anyone not wanting to participate in this should remove the CotD from their profile and avoid us for the time being until this conflict comes to an end. Sorry for the inconvenience. >_<

Noteworthy (not really) Events

December 4 - JediMastaYoda, the all-purpose hobo, has left HQ and travelled to the aid of Caiger Mall as a representative of the COTD. Other members are considering following, though no immediate action has been taken.

December 4 - kiko II, the group's medic makes his way to the Yagoton Revivification Clinic to help those who have been zombified. But troubles may rise as some of the zombies awaiting revivification have been confirmed as PKer's.

Jan 18 - looks like COTD has an enemy: Anime Sucks. He first killed booaimi, a week or so ago and was hunted down and killed by two members of COTD. Since then, Cannibal Corps has declared war against COTD.

Jan 25 - A great day! It seems the CotD has the Cannibal Corps on the run! Rumor has it that the CC fled in the face of CotD retaliation! Sucks to be them!--Darke Smith 21:33, 25 Jan 2006 (GMT)

Jan 31st- looks like CC can't take the heat.

Jan 31st - In another blow to the Cannibal Corps, one of their members made a plea for help on one of the unofficial UD boards. Apparently the CC can't handle the CotD by themselves and now need all the help they can get to put their evil PK plan into motion. --Darke Smith 03:07, 1 Feb 2006 (GMT)

Feb 1st - CotD will be staying in the burb of yagoton, they will not be forced out. Boo

Feb 9 - The CotD have had confirmation that another group has taken an interest in them, and not in a good way. Boo

Feb 17th - One of the members of CotD was attacked today byToken Black Man she Screamed into her phone for help, while hightailing it out of there, soon help arrived, and together they went back and finished him off. Which then led to a verbal sparing war with a member from each group. Boo

March 15th - Sorry, CC, we're still here. CotD ftw! --LZC 23:57, 15 March 2006 (GMT) As a side note, some things just make us stronger. Boo

March 17 - For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack. Dru

March 23 - Despite the efforts of some malicious elements... we are alive again. Take that CC! --LZC 19:30, 23 March 2006 (GMT)

July - Some of the Children have returned to Yagoton.--Boo 15:30, 24 July 2006 (BST)


Note: JediMastaYoda is no longer affiliated with the group. He is currently a member of the Ridleybank Resistance Front
