Ridleybank is a suburb of Malton, located in the city centre. Before the outbreak, the suburb was notable for the large population of medical students studying at Adalbert and Eugene General Hospitals, two of the seven hospitals in the area. These were built largely to treat the victims of Orange Lung Disease, Melted Toes Syndrome, and Ear-Rot caused by pollution from the local factories, which produced chemicals for Necrotech.

Ridleybank is also within easy reach of several attractions in the neighboring suburbs including malls, mansions, Floyde Stadium, and the zoo.

[edit] General Information

Ridleybank has become one of the most infamous suburbs in Malton, largely due to the efforts of The Ridleybank Resistance Front. It, naturally, forms the heart of Greater Ridleybank.

In September 2005, Petrosjko was inspired to rally a horde to Ridleybank, which quickly grew into one of the most effective the game has seen.

As one of the core tenets of the Ridleybank Resistance Front, Ridleybank is considered a great zombie homeland. Most humans in the area as an invading force are quickly eliminated.

By all accounts, Ridleybank remained an extremely dangerous place for a survivor to be. From time to time, survivor groups will lay siege to one or more buildings in an attempt to reclaim the suburb but to date all attempts have met with failure.

Also making a home in Ridleybank are the offices of the Malton Herald & Sun, the official newspaper of the RRF.

The suburb is almost completely ruined. Ridley is officially back to normal. The man 12:31, 4 June 2008 (BST)

May 30

Just passed through Ridley. Quite a few ruins in this suburb. Eugene General has been breached by a mob of 7 zeds, among them is Kevan's character, Bub. --Blanemcc 15:13, 30 May 2008 (BST)

May 27
As of moments ago, Blackmore has fallen to the zombies. Twenty-nine zombies occupy the building with thirty more outside. -- Mordac the Refuser 20:58, 27 May 2008 (BST)
Can anyone conform this? Screenshot?- Danny Williams 13:59 28th May BST
BARHAH! --People's Commissar Hagnat talk - mod 14:30, 29 May 2008 (BST)
May 25
Twenty-nine zeds outside Blackmore. Barricades were down to quite strongly before I got them up to heavily. Might be some trouble for survivors in the area coming. --Justin 04:42, 26 May 2008 (BST)
May 22
Thanks to the combined efforts of Umbrella Corporation and several survival groups in the area Ridleybank was returned to a green suburb. Sorry to those who were notified but were too late to get any action, still 9 zeds outside Blackmore and break-ins are regular, but overall less than 25 zeds in whole suburb and more than 95% of buildings remain standing throughout the day. Still don't recommend being outside for too long...--Jackson 01:19, 22 May 2008 (BST)
May 21
2 zombies outside balckmore. this place is safe. The man 11:23, 21 May 2008 (BST)
May 19
As dawn turned to dusk and hours passed so did a wave of lead. The moans of zeds and cries of zombie cultists could be heard across the suburb as survivors organized and put the hurt on. Currently only 18 zeds standing outside the Blackmore Building but break-ins are frequent at resource buildings. More than 90% of the suburb is standing all thats left is to clear out the zed population before the suburb can be an honest green.--Jackson 23:34, 18 May 2008 (BST)
May 14
Only 27 Zombies outside Blackmore. --Greegi 23:59, 14 May 2008 (BST)
May 8
External Military: "... crossing Ridleybank now, can see maybe fifty down there ... a horde of thirty or so outside the Blackmore Building ... power's on across most of the area ... infrastructure looks intact too ... power's back on at the Blackmore Building ..."--Scott Timewell 00:52, 9 May 2008 (BST)
Well, a quick scout on the NecroNet shows barely any zombies in the area. The biggest horde is outside of Blackmore, numbering 37. Other than that, scattered, uncoordinated groups. 46 total scanned in the suburb. Looks as if the RRF hasn't shown themselves yet. --PpSmrf207 01:44, 9 May 2008 (BST)
Isn't the RFF down to the south? Or are they just sleeping? We need to get some help down to the south. --Konata Izumi 10:43, May 12 2008 (CST)
May 5
Cades everywhere, lack of zombies, largest horde is 13 outside Blackmore and break ins are rare. This suburb is safe. We all know it won't stay that way for long, but for now, that's how things are rolling.--DDRJake 00:33, 5 May 2008 (GMT)
What? Safe? What ever happened to the Ridleybank Resistance Front? Did they disband or something? -- Kilt Store Owner 5 May 2008.
I believe the RRF is currently sweeping through southern Malton, with Moloch at the head of course, after he was killed in Buckley Mall. They'll be back soon enough. The idea is to set up enough of a fortification that they'll have a hard time retaking this suburb, if they do at all. Coldfront 03:22, 5 May 2008 (BST)
I've got a report to the same effect- the only building in town which isn't in great shape is St. George's Hospital, and the largest group of zombies is 17 strong (probably more like 30, once some of the 27 nearby bodies stand up). Downgrading to moderate.--FT MCI 06:36, 5 May 2008 (BST)
I just made a scout. 9 zombies outside blackmore. Ridleybank is safe~...... HOLY FUCKING SHIT The man 11:18, 5 May 2008 (BST)
What kind of crazy nightmare world have I fallen into? 23 zombies outside Blackmore. --Vandurn 21:57, 5 May 2008 (BST)
well it was lulzy while it lasted. Danger level updated to moderate. The man 22:54, 5 May 2008 (BST)
Pffft, there are more zombies attacking Quartly Library than Blackmore. I'd change Ridleybank to green, but frankly I can't be arsed. --Goolina The Kilt Store 04:06, 6 May 2008 (BST)
May 3
All resource buildings are 'caded and powered with decent survivor numbers. The largest horde is 25 outside the Blackmore Building. --Lardass 15:21, 3 May 2008 (BST)
Ridleybank is deserted, and I confirm also that the largest is outside Blackmore. Seems like the survivors have setup shop and seem comfy there for the time being. -- GSImage:Tinywhitemask2.png 02:31, 4 May 2008 (BST)

[edit] April 2008

April 30
There are 13 zombies outside the Blackmore right now. Which means Ridely's technically not a ghost town... But that group outside the Blackmore is the only substantial mob in the whole suburb. In total I counted, still, just over 40 zombies in the streets. Meanwhile, though much of the south side is 'cade strafed or better, most of the north is ruined; in total, well over 1/2 the burb is ruined... --WanYao 03:21, 30 April 2008 (BST)
April 27
Despite the previous report, the Blackmore is powered and EHB and has been for a couple days, now. The kilt-wearing survivors inside have been exposing themselves at the handful of zombies that are in the area before opening fire. I'm not sure in what world 45 zombies in an entire suburb qualifies as "Very Dangerous," but despite the relatively low survivor presence, much of the southern half of the suburb is now barricaded to at least some degree or another. --Gregory 02:03, 28 April 2008 (BST)
Sorry, but I just made a scout, blackmore is the only powered building, apart from that at least 2/3rd of the suburb is ruined. I'm taking this back to red. The man 16:50, 28 April 2008 (BST)
Using that formula, I updated it to ghost town. There are fewer than sixty zombies, and the largest horde (outside the NT) is six. Very dangerous only applies to massive hordes and zombies occupying most resource buildings. --Goolina The Kilt Store 20:54, 28 April 2008 (BST)
Oh I am so stupid! How could I forget about the ghost town rating? meh.... Anyway, Thanks for correcting the danger levels. The man 13:57, 30 April 2008 (BST)
April 25
External Military report: "... crossing Ridleybank now, can see about forty down there ... mostly just stragglers, no organised groups ... can't see any signs of life ... it's a wasteland down there ... the Blackmore Building has fallen - repeat, the Blackmore Building has ..." (2 hours and 21 minutes ago) --WanYao 18:24, 25 April 2008 (BST)
April 6
In a sure sign that the latest trend of zombie dominance is nearing an end strafe 'cades have begun reappearing in the eastern portion of Ridleybank. --Lardass 02:33, 7 April 2008 (BST)
April 4
External Military: "... crossing Ridleybank now, can see maybe seventy down there ... mostly just stragglers, no organised groups ... can't see any signs of life ... the whole suburb's wrecked ... the Blackmore Building has fallen - repeat, the Blackmore Building has ..."--Scott Timewell 00:32, 4 April 2008 (BST)
April 1st
It would seem that in a mass effort to survive from the wrath of the dead, a huge number of survivors have managed to sneak their way into Ridleybank unnoticed! In fact, every single building is now powered and barricaded! The RRF are simply stunned at how this could posibly have happened! its incredible, its unbelievable, its April fools muthaf**ka!!!! The man 15:50, 1 April 2008 (BST)
Though not every building is powered as of this report survivors seem to have established a beachhead in Ridleybank. With More and more suburbs going red maybe it's time humans turn this zombie hometown into a bastion of hope for those survivors who are beginning to lose hope. Just throwing the idea out there.--Rico Montoya 01:50, 2 April 2008 (BST)


[edit] March 2008

March 26th
I happened to have a disposable alt in Ridleybank, so I took him on an extensive tour of the borough. The alt doesn't have memories of life, so I couldn't go inside some buildings... Still, I only counted only about 50 zomies -- including 9 inside the Blackmore, the only large concentration of zombiews in the area. And I went all over the suburb. And I took pictures...

March 25th
And indeed Wan is right! There is nothing in here! Danger level updated to Ghost town for the first time ever. The man 20:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
see Talk page, kids. --WanYao 05:58, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
March 21st
Passing through central Ridleybank, [10], on a North to South course, I have to say that I saw very few zambahz in the streets. The largest concentration I encountered was, unsprisingly, at the Blackmore Building.[11][12]. Now I am certainly not going to advocate changing Ridley's status to "Ghost Town" on such incomplete evidence. But.... --WanYao 16:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Things to do while in Ridleybank!

  • Get Eaten! - When you've "been there, done that" when passing through Ridleybank, your friendly neighborhood zombies are more than willing to help you enjoy the joys that the 'bank holds for the undead. The RRF and local ferals guarantee that if you're not dead by the third hour outside, then the brainz are on us! Drop dead into Ridleybank today!
  • Run Around and/or Scream! - Sure, any survivor can walk into Ridleybank and get eaten by zombies, but a real survivor can avoid all that by running around and screaming. Yes, the classic technique of running around and screaming has been passed down through the ages by our forefathers to us, so why not use it? Come on down to Ridleybank and run around for a bit! Screaming is optional. And if you can't come up with a good reason to scream the RRF will find one for you.
  • Hang Out! - Reel in the spa of our many safehouses and relax from all the stress in Malton. Drinks are in the fridge, free massages are available. However, the recent return of the RRF has installed bloodbaths in many safehouses, please check with your masseur before relaxing.
  • Run Around and Sing! - Make sure you stay in shape by running through the suburb and knocking down a couple of zombies. If you want to show off your talents, feel free to stop by in one of our singing clubs!
  • Kill some Zombies - There is always zombies in Ridleybank, so come, seize the XP, waste the AP, and introduce them to your loaded shotgun or your revive syringe. Feel free to do so, and when you see the RRF, keep in mind they want your shotguns more than your revive syringes.

[edit] Barricade Plan

Like most suburbs, Ridleybank has a survivor-based barricade plan. However, it must be noted for the sake of neutrality, that the RRF has its own building code, which it seeks to enforce. Both survivor and RRF barricade policies are listed below.

[edit] RRF Building Code

[edit] Ord 1.1 Barricades

  • Barricades and the building of such are forbidden in Ridleybank, in Barhahville, and Stanbury Village due to the various negative effects of these constructions. Much like meth labs, barricades lower property values, obstruct emergency access, present an eyesore, and violate fire codes. As such, barricades are illegal and will be removed as discovered.
[edit] Ord 1.1a Fines
  • Barricades, Being present in a building with: One Brain per adult. People under the age of two levels will not be fined but given a stern Graaahing on the perils of barricade-abuse, and offered an opportunity to become a naturalized citizen of Ridleybank.
  • Barricades, Building of: One Brain per adult. Violators capable of building barricades will be always eaten first, since they are violating Ridleybank's only building ordinance by their mere existance. Remember, barricades don't annoy zombies, barricade-builders annoy zombies.
  • Barricades, Being a: Immediate destruction. If the barricade is found in possession of Brains, then the barricade will be fined one Brain and given a stern graaahing on shaping up and adding to the community, possibly as a gazebo.

[edit] Survivor Plans

Since there are rare instances of increased human presence in the suburb, The Cannonball Crew has created a plan based on the Uniform Barricading Policy. According to the policy, "high value" targets such as hospitals and police departments should generally be kept at VSB (Very Strongly Barricaded) in order to give low-level survivors access. However, if one of these buildings is attacked, survivors can raise the barricades until the attack is over. Eugene General Hospital and the Blackmore Building are exceptions to this rule.

It should be noted that this neighborhood is claimed as the home of the largest zombie horde in the game. Barricade levels cannot be guaranteed and low-level survivors are advised to stay out of the area.
