Current status Safe because of these guidelines: The mall is barricaded with less than twenty zombies throughout the structure. EMRP says only 12 are outside the mall, therefore it's considered safe. Son of Sin 20:47, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Some schmuck decided it would be a good idea to broadcast to the world that Tomson Mall was rebuilt and ready for business. Within a day hundreds of zeds (many of whom had died with a radio on them) came to the mall and completely destroyed it. Kent Camp 15:05, 8 June 2011 (BST)

2010

Tompson Mall is EHB on all sides. No zeds nearby, but danger zones seem to be moving in a circle around Malton and will probably hit Lockettside soon. Good place to rest for now, as long as you have freerunning. Very high amount of survivors inside, at least 20 on each block. Trying to bring at least one side down to VSB+2 to allow anyone to get in. Anyone available can please help with this. --Dr Jeykll 21:21, 8 November 2010

Tompson mall is EHB on all sides. Trying to break down at least 1 and make it VSB+2. About 30 people stuck inside, please help break part of the cades on one side. --K1ngS3v3n 10:10 15 October 2010

The 2010 Zapar

During the first months of the year; Tompson Mall was attacked continuously by a group of non-organized feral zombies that had detached from the Mall Tour hoard. Tompson Mall was breached, ransacked and destroyed every forty-eight hours. There was an abundance in Player Killers that seemed to make things only more difficult from what they where. A recorded history of the event below.

  • January,13,2010: Zombies begin to enter Lockettside, camping at nearby buildings as if fixating on the giant structure that is Tompson Mall. External Military Reports suggested a hoard of 200+ Zombies were en-route to Tompson Mall. Moral was high; survivors were encouraged to stay and fight off the attack.


  • January,14,2010: Popular Military frequency's are filled with panic about the horrific hoard. Zombies arrive on Tompson Mall's doorstep and begin tearing at the barricades on the South-West-Corner. Survivors were strongly advised to gather their belongings and vacate Lockettside, or stay here and help us fight the zombies! So few left. Many more fought.


  • January,15,2010 : Player-Killers begin planning and executing strategical counter moves towards the survivors, killing Survivors and destroying Generators. Survivors fill the emergency & local frequency's with requests for assistance, notifications and warnings to relocate. Zombies begin their isolated attack on Tikhon General Hospital, a strategic area for survivors considering its rather abundant supply of medical equipment. Cheeke (NT) Building had 11- 15 zombies tearing at the cades, but the building was holding strong. Revive Points are rendered useless due to the high amount of rotters. (20+)


  • January,16,2010 Military reports littered the radio. Tompson mall was struggling for their lives on the on-going battle of Tompson mall. The survivors inside depending on the lights to stay on just long enough to find weapons and fight back against the zombies. At approximately 5:00PM(GMT) Zombies broke through the cade and poured in. Survivors were informed to evacuate to safer buildings. The Cheeke NT has been confirmed in zombie hands. Most radio contact begins to break and distance. Most transmitters taken out by the PK'ers. The survivors light of hope had faded away as Survivors grabbed what supplies they could carry and what they could and ran for a safehouse.


  • January,17,2010 Tompson mall evacuation procedures successfully executed. Survivors are now few and one in the mall; Many of them heading towards St. Alexander's Hospital, where the last stand shall be held. 7:00(GMT) Tompson mall completely falls. Zombies re-route to the hospital.


  • January,18,2010 St. Alexander's Hospital Falls to It's knees. The survivors are likely to have been eaten or lucky enough to evade the sharp teeth of the zombies. Every building in the area has collapsed. 'Abandon all hope' Was sprayed on the wall of the hospital. Radio contact has been completely lost.


  • June 5-6,2011 "There are reports that the Tompson mall is currently under attacked right now by zeds. It seems the SE corner is being attacked by about 10-14 zeds.


These are the events leading up to the zombie festival lastly allocated at the mall. This hoard took the mall by storm and left it gasping for air. However; Many feral zombies stayed after the tour once they arrived at Tompson mall and chose to stay. The same large group of zombies constantly kept the mall down for five months. It was here is when most groups learned of locketsides major security foundation inactivity. The mall has fallen many many times.. With assistance from the South West Alliance we were able to get the mall back to it's normal state. The 2010 zapar will not be forgotten; But taken as a warning to always keep tabs on one another. --Suff-TMS- <-- Killin' zombies! 10:16, 27 July 2010 (BST)

16 Jan 10

The Mall defenders have lost the SE corner. But due to sheer amount of survivors vs. Zeds, the Zeds are getting picked off and thrown back out - slowly. Cades should be up in the next few days. Resistance so far is in favor of the Survivors.

  • Update: 10 Zeds in SW corner. Cades broke. Soon to be swept. 38 Zeds in total inside the Mall. 100+ Survivors, although a lot are moving while they can. Oo, some naked guy just jumped off the escalator into a group of Zeds. He is now dancing and running around. I think he had a bit much of Mead...
  • Update: some random horde showed up and brought a swift end in our sleep. Survivors had no time to react, the mall has fallen to PKers and Zeds.

15 Jan 10

The Mall defenders are stoked to spill some Zombie Harbranzars! Siege is coming, and this time, the Tompson Mall defenders are more than overjoyed to get some action. So are the Zeds. Siege should commence soon, join in the action. Anticipated to be a good resistance.

In the SE corner there are 35 survivors. A total of 175 survivors. There are less than five zeds in the neigbourhood. --User:RoyKirk 1:38, 13 September 2009 (GMT)

02 September 2009

All 4 corners are HB, but not lit, Gens destroyed. Two zombies in the NE corner, which I have killed and dumped outside. Priority now is to restore power to the mall and barricade up to EHB+. Stock up on ammo, and scan the local area, just in case. Beware of pkers and spies. --User:Captain Rhodes II 22:24, 02 September 2009 (GMT)

  • March 2009

Tompson currently under attack by the Mall Tour 2009. Seems they have not gathered in full yet, reports say there are about ~20 zeds gathered at SE corner of the mall. Survivors are higly engaged on defending the mall. News to follow as they happen. --Grant Foster 00:04, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

First offensive made by zombies right now. They are using the mall's 27.20 frequency to send threats, and even were able to bring barricades down to VSB, but the mall mobilization force rapidly raised them back to EHB. Reports of outside scouts say now more zeds are gathering on the SE section, around ~35 now. News to follow, this will be a loong night... --Grant Foster 03:09, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

As of 1230 3 March 2009, there are 72 zeds at the SE corner of the mall. --User:barzor 1231, 3 March 2009

  • February 2009

a defence against mall tour 09 has begun with most people leaving for the defence of cheeke,also-the last of the thompson security force has finally left for the cheeke building after telling the mall and surrounding safehouses to evcuate out of the mall or completely out of the suburb(for those who wish to run)also,they have been asking the people surrounding the mall to(if they wish to fight)go to the cheeke building for there is 125 peeps there,and have also asked to spread the word to neigbouring safehouses

to sum it up,thompson mall has very little survivor numbers for a mall while there are hundreds in cheeke,this my friends-is where we make a stand.

  • November 30th, 2008 Mall is safe however the Hinckesman Bank has suffered attacks, some survivors are injured, the mall has suffered some player killing and generator killing. - User:Jackie901
  • November 27, 2008 Zeds are gathering in at least two areas adjacent to the mall. Given recent dedicated assaults in Ruddlebank just to the west, it's fair to predict stormy weather ahead. - Broken English 15:31, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
  • October 8th, 2008 I patrolled the area, there isn't any group of zombies around, all buildings EHB, everything seems safe, strong survivor presence in all corners.--ispanialan 20:05, 8 October 2008 (GMT)
  • August 31, 2008 According to my NecroNet scan from a nearby NT building, there are 17 zeds gathering outside the mall. Not a major attack, probably just a gathering of ferals. Survivors in that corner look ready. Mall still overall EHB, radios, gennies. Linkthewindow 06:06, 31 August 2008 (BST)
They have left now, mall is safer (NT scan updated.) Linkthewindow 11:37, 1 September 2008 (BST)

  • August 26, 2008

Building has been repaired, but no gennies, one corner still ruined with zeds inside. Linkthewindow 07:32, 26 August 2008 (BST)

  • August 12th, 2008

  • August 2nd 2008

It's not really a siege when the entire mall is ruined and devoid of life either. Tompson has fallen to the MOB Techercizer (Food) (TSoE) 18:40, 2 August 2008 (BST)

  • August 1st 2008

Zombies in every part of the mall! 3/4th ransacked, they just keep coming. this is obviously another siege! there are hordes of zombies, please send reinforcement ASAP! the mall has almost fallen! survivors are now focusing on defending the Cheeke NT building and the Police Departments!!!! fatfisher13 19:37, 1 August 2008 (BST)

When a mall is 3/4 ransacked it's not really a siege anymore, it's a conquest. Just FYI.--Jiangyingzi 18:35, 2 August 2008 (BST)


  • July 31 2008

Zombies have infiltrated the mall NE, 28 of them, its completely ransacked. this may lead up to a full scale zombie invasion and is very possible now, currently survivors have holed up in the other parts of the mall and the Cheeke building we will need reenforcement ASAP! fatfisher13 15:46, 31 July 2008 (BST)


  • April 22nd

South side of mall devoid of survivor life, 100+ zombies between the SW & SE sectors. Decent number of survivors currently holed up in the northern half of the mall, however it is unknown if they intend to flee or defend. Shigogouhou 06:19, 22 April 2008 (BST)

  • April 21st

Power has been knocked out in all quads, and there is a small breakin in the SW corner - 4 zeds currently munching on people. There still seems to be enough people holding, however. Docmortand 09:35, 21 April 2008 (BST)

  • April 20th

Well, the horde finally reached Lockettside. The Cheeke Building to the West has been taken by the zeds, 10 inside by last count with sleeping survivors and the occasional human running through. The Beer Building, St. Irenaeus's, and Hinckesman Bank are still lit. The Mall itself still stands, untouched. No news on how many undead are standing around in the streets. Not in trouble yet, but no idea how long this state of affairs will last. --Biophaze Nofoot 02:42, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

  • March 29th

Survivors Reclaimed the mall some time ago, all Corners VHB and light on, surrounded buildings VBH by my and some other people, in more buildings light one not much zombies, its save here --User:Ralazo 15:34, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

  • March 24th

It looks as though survivor efforts to reclaim the mall over night have succeeded. The mall stands with three squads repaired and caded to VSB and a ruined corner at VHB. The zombies outside will be most pleased at the resurgence of brains in the area. --Zombie in Pajamas 17:27, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

  • March 23rd

Tompson has no signs of life and there is still a line at the Hot Topic! Attempts to reclaim this mall have failed.--DCC 19:55, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

  • March 15, 2008

no they killed the one survivor in the Tompson mall and about 15 or 20 zombies outside --Greenbay11 00:10, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

  • March 7, 2008

Tompson has fallen again. It was mostly because of the unorganized survivors and not enough warning, or reinforcements that are there, as i was one of the now dead. we had no reinforcements and had ended as quickly as it began. expect counter attack sometime in the future.

The mall is free of all humans.--Doc Bubonico 15:07, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

The Dead thanks the survivors of Tompson Mall for helping to kill two malls in 24 hours, we wouldn't have been able to achieve this monumentous feat without you all. --Zambargh the Ravener 17:57, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Actually, it was three malls in 24 hours.

Christmas Morning is peaceful, the people are awoken by the sound of a shotgun blowing away the only zombie outside the mall. Tompson is a very safe place for survivors at the moment, few zombies roam the area. BenderWaW 11:19, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

  • November 13, 2007
