[edit] March

[edit] March 20^th

Only a few at Cunningham Cinema now (6+ zombies at the moment, 35+ at the nearby revive point Scanlon Cresent), but the whole suburb is scattered with zombies. Most, if not all, resource buildings are ruined. --UncertaintyPrinciple 08:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 19^th

Agreed - not too many people around. Unfortunatly there are more than 50+ zombies in the area around Cunningham Cinema. Most of them may be survivors on the Revive Point on Scanlon Crescent, but the remaining active zombies managed to ruin all 3 cinemas. Looks like they did not enjoy the program. €:--John die Kralle 17:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

The suburb's fine at the moment. Not too many people around, though... could be classified as a Ghost Town. --Dedling 22:40, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] February

[edit] February 26^th

Few buildings remain barricaded, both NT:s are ruined, and the precious PD being discussed in the previous post is being torn apart in writing moment. Minions of the Apocalypse entered this suburb when it was yellow, now its red! M!N!ANZ BARHAH! -- Wisuguya 23:17, 26 february 2008 (UTC)

[edit] February 11^th

Survivors have taken back Carle Street police Department,setup a power generator,and have it very heavilly barricaded.--Gamestriker4 17:48, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't know for how long you have been in Richmond Hills, but I can assure you that Carle Street PD never played an important part in the resupplying strategy of local survivors. --Cruzz 09:53, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] February 6^th

Me and my fellow zombies have overrun and ransacked St.Mark's Hospital.--Gamestriker4 21:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] February 5^th

The lavers motel has been ransacked by me and its defenders killed by my fellow zombies. The police department is still ruined.By the way,St Marks Hospital which is now under attack by me and my fellow zeds.If the survivors can't retake the Carle Street Police Department,then the humans in the area might have major problems getting ammo and guns which would mean bad news for the survivors in the suburb--Gamestriker4 22:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] January

[edit] January 26^th

The police station has been overrun by zombies and every survivor inside has been killed. I know this because I was there when it happened.As a zed I was looking around for survivors to kill,then I saw two humans outside the police station as well as a small group of zeds.I then killed the two humans easily because their health was low.

I then noticed that that station doors where open and decided to go inside and found a few humans after checking their profiles to see which skill they had,I found that none of them had construction and that the highest level there was a level 3 with next to no combat skills. I began to attack the level 3 human when a zed dragged a human outsid the building.I then went outside and found a survivior from inside the police station who was'nt dragged as well as the human who was dragged.I lowered one of the humans outside hp to 4 but I ran out of APs and logged outlater I logged in to find that all of the survivors.Both inside and outside the building.(Gamestriker4.)

[edit] December 31^st

The suburb is wasted, there are lots of groups although they are small. The Police Station has been broken into on a few occasions but the small groups make it easy to defend. It is currently over barricaded. The Oakster 18:42, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] December 19^th

The suburb is still mostly pretty wasted, though there is a bunch of buildings popping up under survivor control. In other news, fresh from the fall of Ackland, the Greatcoat Detective Agency is establishing a revive point for fallen defenders at Torrington Place. Come on over if you wish to feel the blood flowing through your veins again.--GT 04:56, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

There are zombies everywhere, and many ruined buildings in the southern part of the suburb. I'm updating the danger level to Dangerous. --Lt craben 02:05, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Club Beastall (33,33) has had its generator destroyed by me and 7 zeds outside. heh heh heh... Sockem 04:37, 14 October 2007 (BST)

[edit] September

[edit] September 28^th

Club Beastall (33,33) has been ransacked and the phone mast's generator has been destroyed. Snugiraffe 28th September, 17:47 CET.

[edit] September 13^th

Seems a low zombie population, but also a low survivor population. Won't be changing the status as busy doing revives, but revives are being done at the RPs (Scanlon Crescent [35,33]). Probably status orange. Needlesareus 13th September, 23:45 EST.

[edit] August

[edit] August 19^th

Fall out from the mega-horde ruination of Caiger Mall is being felt as far away as Richmond Hills. The sparsely populated suburb has few truly safe houses left and it's only going to get worse as zombies run out of targets to the west.--Insomniac By Choice 18:29, 19 August 2007 (BST)

[edit] August 15^th

Small groups of zombies roam the area, and many buildings have been ransacked. There doesn't seem to be many survivors in this area. I would recommend avoiding the area if you are a lower level character.--User: William Cooper 2:18 pm EST 15 August 2007

[edit] August 8^th

Hoping to bring back life, the survivor group Knights of the Lion has decided to make their base here until further notice. If any of the current survivors wish to join, check out the group page.--RogerDeath 17:17, 8 August 2007 (BST)

[edit] July

[edit] July 25^th

Richmond Hills is a dive, an empty one at that. The only survivors are those in St. Mark's hospital and a small group of zombies are actively breaking in and killing people. A large majority of the suburb's buildings are either empty of Survivors and Ransacked. And both sides have less than 20-30 people in the whole suburb. This place is empty and the few survivors here are being picked off by ferals, there are be not any revives and it seems that only one of the survivor groups listed is even present in this suburb at all. This truly is a sad place full of sad people. Come to Richmond Hills, hang yourself from depression!--Karek^maps?! 02:54, 25 July 2007 (BST)

Hey, thanks for the glowing travel review! While Richmond Hills certainly lacks the resources and population of other suburbs, I can assure you the situation is not that dire. There are folks that survive here and the Scanlon Crescent RP is active. Very sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. --Griff 12:35, 26 July 2007 (BST)

[edit] July 17^th

According to their group page, TechCom is now an inactive group; their Brancher Street revive point is also inactive. I've removed them from the list of known groups in the suburb and have removed the Brancher Street RP from the Revive Point list for the suburb. Individuals in southern Richmond Hills in need of a revive should try the active RP at cemetery [36,42] just over the border in Northern Havercroft. Be advised that individuals using the DEM Revivification Request Tool receive priority attention there. --Griff 16:51, 17 July 2007 (BST)

[edit] July 14^th

Dead Dude Hunters is setting up shop in Factory 35, 32 South of the Stuart Building [1]

[edit] July 14^th

A mob of zombies broke into St. Mark's hospital. The zombies killed the small group of survivors inside and ransacked the building. --- Mordac the Refuser 17:37, 14 July 2007 (BST)

[edit] July 4^th

The Mmm Braanz Tahr announces that it will spend at least one month tahring and sharing its theatrical experiences with the Richmond Hills Suburb! The show title is still TBA at this point.--Donathin 13:36, 4 July 2007 (BST)

[edit] June

[edit] June 28^th

Urgent: Please send help the NT buildings, the Lockwood Building of Richmond Hills and adjacent building the Staples building of Ketchelbank. Both have fallen under control of zombies. Currently there are zombies inside both buildings and in the surronding areas.--Go Bucks 17:58, 28 June 2007 (BST)

[edit] June 25^th

A barricade plan proposal has been posted on the Richmond Hills talk page for discussion. --Griff 21:50, 25 June 2007 (BST)

[edit] June 14^th

Drama Club staged a performance of "Apocalypse Now" in the The Giffard Arms for the two survivors there as part of their Outward Spiral Tour of Malton. The group plans to travel in a counter-clockwise expanding spiral from the center of the town to the outer edges. See their group page for performing groups and schedules.

[edit] June 4^th

Safer than Eastonwood, but not by much in the North--Foxxx222 07:17, 5 June 2007 (BST)

[edit] May

[edit] May 29^th

The suburb got on its feet again. Most buildings are safe. Only the NW-corner stays quite dangerous. Still, the lack of suitable free-running lanes doesn't make Richmond Hills a suburb of first choice for low-lewel survivors.

[edit] March

[edit] March 3^rd

With the recent active hostile nature of zombies in Darvall Heights and lack of human controlled NT labs, TechCom has moved into the suburb and is regrouping at an undisclosed location. A revive point will be shortly set up

[edit] January

[edit] January 28^th

The North end of the suburb is in great shape. Several key buildings are powered, and most break-ins are taken care of within hours. (You call this "Moderate"?)--Labine50 ^MH|^ME|^P|^'07 22:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] January 20^th

Most of the North half is in great shape, and the mobile phone mast is powered. When a useless building like that is powered, you know the place is pretty darned safe.--Labine50 ^MH|^ME|^P 07:32, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] January 16^th

This suburb is significantly more secure than it was a month ago. Both NTs are EHB, and every resource building was barricaded except the PD. Almost all other buildings barricaded too, and many buildings powered. Retake the PD and this suburb would pretty much be as safe as anywhere in Malton. --Pchem 02:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2006

[edit] December

[edit] December 9^th

Most buildings contain 2+ zeds, hospitals, factories and PDs ransacked. This should be a red zone at the moment - there's very few 'safe' places to be, & if you don't have free running, forget about it. --CrystalEyes 18:04, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

According to that... red this suburb shall be.--Danalov 12:24, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] October

[edit] October 21^st

I couldn't find a single building to stay in, everything is either EHB or cracked open, zeds everywhere. I had to travel to East Becktown to find a place. If you don't have free running, stay away. --Herman Messler 22:18, 21 October 2006 (BST)

[edit] September

[edit] September 23^rd

The Philosophe Knights and many members of The PKer Alliance have attacked Richmond Hills to cleanse it entirely of its ignorant survivors. The only locations they have deemed safe for survivors are the two museums in the suburb. All survivors outside these centers of learning have been declared targets by the Philosophe Knights.

[edit] August

[edit] August 28^th

Several EHB safehouses scattered around the suburb, with sporadic zombie groups numbering no more than 3-4 per horde. Most resource buildings seem to be caded up to VSB+2, but they wont hold up long against a combined zombie assault. I am currently moving South and East with hopes of coming around the back side of the Big Bash and cleaning up any stragglers. (That and I don’t want to get caught right in the middle of that walking mountain of corpses… my zed alt is currently traveling with them, and I doubt anything short of another Caiger Mall could slow them down, much less stop them…) I’m currently looking for any surviving members of the Channel 4 News Team as well, as I hope to eventually join their sexy ranks. The last I heard they were wiped out at Ridleybank, so I hope that I can at least find a zombie with a trident run through its collapsed ribcage so that I at least know that I am on the right track… (Or if they updated their friggin wiki page, that’d be helpful too…)

-Zombies: Approx. 20-30
-Safe houses: Many secured, but break-ins still possible
-Suburb status: Remains at normal, possibility of becoming dangerous if more zeds move in from the surrounding areas.
-Travel: Dangerous, as there is an unusual lack of buildings in this suburb. For your own sake, please be sure to learn Free Running before attempting to cross. --Raynre 21:35, 28 August 2006 (BST)

[edit] August 23^rd

The Malton Bounty Emo Killers have chosen and prepared a building in Richmond Hills to be their base of operations in Malton. Emos and trenchers beware!

[edit] July

[edit] July 31^st

Survivor safehouses are returning to Richmond Hills -- at least for those who know where to look. (The living get in free, Sunday through Saturday until the End of Days!) The zombie presence in the Hills is weak. Those survivors defending against the tepid non-siege of Caiger Mall are encouraged to strike out for Richmond Hills and force the shamblers to think about two things at once -- an act which has been known to prove fatal for zombies, especially the brain-rotters. Remember, when Caiger is our last stronghold, Malton dies! - LS of the RHH

[edit] July 23^rd

Richmond Hills should be considered abandoned for all purposes of human occupation, most if not all buildings have been ransacked, packs of 20 or more roam the streets centered mainly around hospitals, fire stations, police departments all of which are ransacked & contain only more zombies and the recently dead. Moving on through Eastonwood to Gatcombeton to lick my wounds for awhile before I come back to this death trap again, if ever. I got bitten today, no unzombified hospitals in sight and with not a fak to my name. Pandora's box may have unleashed all kinds of unspeakable things on the world but she also let out hope, I'll let that watch over me tonight - Pt. Blackthorned

[edit] May

[edit] May 2^nd

Justice Inc have sent reinforcements to join the Rangers, C4NT and The Corleone family.

[edit] April

[edit] Late April - Early May

As of late April, the suburb was completely under zombie control. Then Channel 4 News Team arrived with the intention of bringing Swift and Hideous Death to all that shambles in Richmond Hills, but this is not to be confused with taking control of the suburb. As the Channel 4 News Team says, "We have entered into Glorious Battle in the name of Odin, what possible use have we for a suburb?"

Within a few weeks, the News Team ran out of Tridents and moved south, to Ackland Mall in Havercroft. There, survivors won a major victory in the Battle of the Bear Pit. Richmond Hills, meanwhile, contains little of note. Therefore, there are few survivors. Where there are few survivors, there are few zombies. For lack of anything else, overflow from surrounding suburbs dominates the danger status of Richmond Hills. As goes Ackland Mall, so goes Havercroft; as goes Havercroft, so goes Richmond Hills.

[edit] April 24^th

the corleone family is officially here, with their allies C4NT and the Malton Rangers, sadly jakeblues died in battle today.

[edit] April 22^th

The Malton Rangers have arrived, close on the heels of their classy friends at the C4NT.

[edit] April 21^st

The Channel 4 News Team has entered town, seeking Glorious Battle and looking good. Damn good.

[edit] January

[edit] January 7^th

The Carle Street Police Department and St. Mark's Hospital are under siege. Most survivors have dispersed.

[edit] January 2^th

As of this date Richmond should be considered Zombie-controlled: Nearly every building has been smashed wide open, Zombie spies have marked safehouses for hordes to destroy, and the only secure bastion is the Phone Mast- currently under siege. Recommend bypassing this area if at all possible.

[edit] 2005

[edit] October

[edit] October 10^th

it was announced that the Red-eye Republic had broken into and ravaged Carle Street Police Department, killing in the region of 20 survivors during the attack.

Since then they have terrorised numerous hospitals, Police Departments, and other buildings across both Richmond Hills and Havercroft, showing neither mercy nor hesitation in their bloody war on humanity.
