Paradox is one of the oldest active groups, founded shortly after Urban Dead opened to the public, and is renowned and respected among those who remember us. Unfortunately, this doesn't include anyone who joined the game in the last year, but we fully intend to change that.
Once again active in Tollyton, we have a policy of aiding and encouraging new players to move up the skills tree, both so that their experience of the game is more enjoyable, and so that they can be of more use to the group as a whole.

[edit] Current activities
Well after five months of seeing Tollyton lanquish in Yellow/Green status, the zombies have finally made a comeback! A visit from The RRF's Excursion III to T-town have returned our fair suburb to it's former Red/Orange glory! Paradox is working to stabilize the suburb, while bringing up our newest members recruited from Paradox Interactive's Spanish OT forum. With life getting more exciting (and precarious), wasting AP got that much more dangerous. May our new members never learn first hand what "radio spamming" is about...--Noobermenschen 07:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] History
Malton was largely deserted when the first of us signed up, and at first we were nomadic and lacked any direction. Bit by bit we started to coalesce into the suburb of Wray Heights, where stands the first place we thought of as home: Diaper Auto Repair (picked because we liked the name). We soon began discussing the idea of forming a proper group, and founded a forum to make organisation, aid and having flaming rows easier. We moved north into Tollyton, which we have regarded as our home ever since. Recognising the strategic importance of malls, we sent platoons to the nearest ones to gather intelligence and help defend them if necessary: Blesley Mall in Gulsonside, Hildebrand Mall in Roftwood, Nichols Mall in Stanbury Village and Pole Mall in West Grayside
[edit] Expedition to Fort Perryn
Our first expedition was to the then-zombie infested Fort Perryn, in Pennville and Whittenside. At the time, it involved a large proportion of our characters, with almost everyone who wasn't needed for defence joining in. We took the fort quickly and remained there for a fortnight, extending our protection to the surrounding area when it became clear that no overwhelming attack would come. We left when we deemed the area as safe as things get in this city, as we were needed elsewhere.
[edit] 2006-2007: Decline and Revival
Other lessons were learned, wars fought and adventures sought, but real life took it's toll on members who were finding the game getting stale. As the original members drifted away, membership declined to the point that Paradox was declared a Historical Group in 2006.
This changed in July of 2007 with a new recruiting thread on the Paradox Interactive forums, and many new unsuspecting strategy gamers, completely innocent of the addiction they were about to be sucked into, signed up. They were joined by many of the legendary "Old Ones", former players who had gone inactive but returned, energized by the new blood coming into the game. And isn't it all about the blood?
[edit] Summer/Fall 2007
Still under construction, to be updated soon: Someone remind me that I have to work on this OK? :P--Noobermenschen 08:05, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
