[edit] Shackleville Barricade Plan Proposal

The Malton Fire Department is preparing to release a barricade plan for the suburb of Shackleville. The plan will follow the guidelines of the Uniform Barricade Policy. These guidelines include the following:

1) The Uniform Barricade Plan calls for all buildings to be EHB except for the following tactical resource points, which should be maintained at VSB:

a. Fire stations b. Police Departments c. NT Buildings d. Schools

2) The UBP calls for a minimum ratio of 3:1 EHB buildings to VSB buildings. There are just under 60 buildings in Shackleville. That means we need at least 15 VSB buildings (including the resource buildings).

3) In addition, the UBP calls for at least two VSB buildings per quadrant and at least 1 VSB building per 9 block radius.

The MFD has called for public comment on the following issues:

I) What buildings should be maintained at a barricade level higher than the level specified in the UBP?

• The MFD is prepared to make exceptions to the rule that certain buildings remain at VSB if the public needs them higher for defensive purposes.

II) Besides resource buidlings, what buildings should be VSB entry points?

III) Should the NecroTech at the Raymond Building [55,66] be kept at EHB?

• Raymond is the only source of syringes in the suburb and there isn't an easy to reach alternative outside the suburb. The building is frequently under zombie attack. However, keeping this building higher than VSB may be unfair to survivors without freerunning.

This comment period will be open from now until 2300 BST on Friday, June 1. After that, a draft barricade plan will be released, and another 10-day comment period will be opened before the draft is finalized. Comments may be posted here or on my user talk page. Thank you.

[edit] Comments

• Some comments

1. One or two factory(ies) should be VS
2. There needs to be more VS buildings. EHB:VS 32:14 that's over twice as many EHB buildings than VS.--Labine50 ^MHG|^MalTel 03:14, 14 June 2006 (BST)

The Malton Fire Department has issued a proposal to establish a barricade plan for the suburb of Shackleville. To view a draft of the proposed plan, please click the thumbnail image to the right.

This plan has been designed in accordance with the Uniform Barricade Policy, with with two significant departures:

1) Consideration has been given to the defensive concerns of survivor groups whose presence in Shackleville pre-dated the arrival of MFD personnel.

2) The Raymond Building, the sole Necrotech facility in Shackleville, has been designated Extremely Heavily Barricaded. This important resource has been under heavy pressure from zombie attacks, and is the only source of revivification syringes in the suburb. Thus, it is the opinion of MFD planners that the Raymond Building should be maintained at EHB, to preserve its use at least for survivors with free running.

The MFD posted this proposal at 6 June 2006 03:30 (BST). A 10-day public comment period will follow, to be closed at 16 June 2006 23:00 BST

During the comment period, survivors who reside in Shackleville or otherwise have an interest in this plan should post comments or questions on the Talk page.

The MFD is prepared to make accomodations for the defensive needs of any survivor group with a long-term presence in Shackleville, and will consider all comments and suggestions.

In addition, comments and questions may be directed to Capt. Brian McStay -- the preparer of this draft plan -- on his Talk page, or at the Brainstock.tk forums.

Following the comment period, the plan will be adjusted as necessary, and then finalized. MFD personnel then will work to implement it, in conjunction with allied survivor groups. All survivors are urged to assist the MFD and its allies in ensuring that barricades remain at designated levels. Do not overbarricade! The life you save may be your own.
