Tapton is a suburb of Malton, located in the south of the city. It has always been fairly unremarkable, save for the annual Tapton Parade and for having the 3rd most populace of all suburbs. There are rumours that the zombies still celebrate this tradition, shambling in step up and down the suburb's central belt of roads while waving marrow-dripping femurs.
Curious survivors may wish to visit the historic Merewether Monument.
When not overrun by zombies, St. Emelia's Church hosts a karaoke night every Saturday. So far, none of the neighbours have complained.

[edit] Suburb Overview
Western Tapton: The West is usually rather sparsely populated with survivors, probably because it lacks a police station and is a fair distance from any mall. The Chaffin Building (Tapton's only NecroTech facility) is a popular target of the walking dead, as are St. Matheos's Hospital and Sherston Grove Fire Station. 87H is the chief zombie presence in this area.
Central Tapton: Due to a relative absence of resource buildings and an abundance of open land, the numbers of undead in the central region of the suburb are usually moderate, though Swithun General Hospital is often subjected to zombie assaults. The good people of Phil's Freaks have been known to entertain deanimated guests at the Bainton Arms, so passersby needn't panic if they happen upon a lone zombie sipping an ale.
Eastern Tapton: The location of Haag Plaza Police Department (the suburb's only PD), as well as its proximity to Pole Mall, makes Eastern Tapton an attractive neighborhood for survivor groups. Alpha Elite Squad, the Renegades, and Ständige Vertretung all maintain a presence in the region. Of course, the large supply of brains in the area often attracts zombie hordes as well. Another hotspot for zombie hordes is the Whittaker Boulevard Fire Station of which still holds a few key items in Taptons's rundown town.
Revive Points: Rhodes Park [41, 73] has reopened for business and is now an active revive point in Western Tapton. Dix Place [46, 75] is still Tapton's main revive point though and service there will usually be quicker and more consistent. A zombie's best chance for revivification is to post a request at http://tinyurl.com/zwor5 . Check the "News" section below for updates.

I took a stroll through Tapton today and saw a total of around 25 zombies scattered about, with just 2 waiting at the revive points. Almost all of the resource buildings are powered and I couldn't find a single building that was ruined. There are still sporadic break-ins, but they're becoming increasingly infrequent. - Cerulean 09:28, 18 May 2008 (BST)

Most of the buildings in Tapton are now barricaded and a few are powered. Both revive points are nearly clear. However, there are still active zombies in the area and break-ins are not uncommon. The Dead have also been known to revisit the suburb on occasion, so survivors should remain wary. - Cerulean 03:18, 6 May 2008 (BST)
[edit] May 2nd
External Military: "... leaving Tapton, counted about eighty outside ... mostly just stragglers, no organised groups ... a few buildings with lights on ... serious collateral damage ... the Chaffin Building is in bad shape ..." --LH779/Quiz‼/W! 13:53, 2 May 2008 (BST)

Persistent zombie activity here has kept this suburb from getting back on it's feet. Zeds target any and all repaired and recaded buildings, and are killing everything in sight. RRF, the Dead, and even the Feral Undead have been spotted here.--FLZombie 15:26, 30 April 2008 (BST)
[edit] April 15th
External Military: "... around a hundred and fifty in Tapton ... a few big groups, but they're spread out ... several buildings with power ... serious collateral damage ..."--Scott Timewell 04:27, 15 April 2008 (BST)
- The suburb of Tapton has been trashed once again. Most of the buildings are in ruin. The RPs are overflowing with rotters. This suburb should be considered once again to be very dangerous, although StäV is still trying to ameliorate the damage, and revive as many as possible.--FLZombie 19:48, 15 April 2008 (BST)
