[edit] IntroductionThis page is used to collect and display information about the status of buildings (and other conditions) in Malton as broadcast on 25.96MHz, a known active External Military channel. Reports are logged on the "Talk: EMRP (Suburb)" pages shown at left. The "EMRP: (suburb)" pages themselves include an area for summaries; when an "EMRP: (Suburb)" page is included on another page, this summary is the only part that is shown. This effect can be seen in an alphabetical listing of suburbs below, and is primarily for used on all suburb pages and the External Military Report Map. For an explanation of the format and meaning of report summaries, see EMRP: Format and Meaning of Report Summaries, or the end of this page, or this page's talk page. If you have new reports to add, post them at EMRP: Reports to Process where a bot will take care of the updates.. Alternatively, you can update reports yourself by visiting the relevant suburb's EMRP page and also its talk page. Note that the information provided by 25.96MHz is believed to be totally objective, extracted in a manner similar to that found on the games statistics page. This page attempts to keep the interpretation and display of said information equally objective, by directly translating frequently used descriptions into directly corresponding values. [edit] External Military Report Summaries, alphabetically by suburb
[edit] Format and Meaning of Report SummariesReport Summaries look like this:
"z" is the number of reported zombies, usually given as a number with some qualifier. Report texts include a number value, rounded to the nearest ten for values below 100. Over 100, the reports round to the nearest fifty. Text such as "clear", "looking quiet" and "it's looking empty" is interpreted as approximately 0, and "minimal activity" is seen as less than ten zombies. The summary uses symbols to qualify this number. If the report suggests the number is approximate, such as; "counted about 50", "50 or so", "maybe 50 down there" then the tilde symbol (~) is added before the number, in this case ~50. For text suggesting more than this number, such as; "counted over", "I've got over". A plus sign (+) is appended to the number, e.g. 20+. Conversely for reports suggesting less than the number, such as "nearly" than a minus sign (-) is appended, e.g. 20-. Reports of "a dozen" zombies are ~1dzn, and reports of "a couple of dozen" zombies are ~2dzn. "Minimal activity" is taken to be 10-. "i" is the level of infrastructure / intact buildings. This is graded on a 3 star system, with *** being no damage, and --- being the most damage possible. The phrases associated with these values are shown on the table below. "p" is the level of power in a suburb. The most positive possible report levels ("lights are on all over", for example) are indicated by A and F indicates no lights. The phrases associated with these values are shown on the table below.
Lastly, the broadcast date for the report that these values was extracted from is given. Clicking the date link will take you to a page specific to that suburb, which shows (on its talk page) an archive of all logged report texts and also allows you to edit and update the logged reports and extracted figures if you have a new report to log. You can also post batches of reports at EMRP: Reports to Process. This date should refer to the broadcast date, and not the date the report was logged. For example: if you are entering a report at midday, but it is more than 12 hours old, you should use yesterdays date. The date uses the short month, followed by the digit of the month, e.g. "Jan 7" |
