Archiving news

Please don't remove old news from a suburb or a location, like what you did to St. Holy's Church. Old news still have historical value. Please archive them in the History section of the page, or on the separate News Archive page instead. Thank you. -- Kittithaj 01:49, 23 September 2009 (BST)

Nice Descriptions

Hey Mallrat. I came across some of your descriptions while unmerging Dunell Hills. I must say, I really like your descriptions. They're nice and brief, and they give a good feeling of time and space without going over the top. It's good to come across a user who seems interested in adding character to all those blank location pages.

I've also been doing that sort of thing in Foulkes Village. For example, Wasteland 4,80 and Cemetery 5,80. What do you think about the idea of picking a suburb that is mostly just stubs and teaming up with me to give it descriptions, history and images? Just a thought. Anyways, good stuff and keep it up!--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 14:02, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Giles, I tried to reply in your talk page, not sure if it worked though, so here's what i wrote in case you check back here...

"Thanks for the kind words. I often wonder if anyone ever reads the stuff I write (page hits suggest: No) so it was encouraging to get a positive response! I'd definitely be interested in a more coordinated attempt to inject some humour and detail to a nondescript suburb, preferably one with some potential quirks and interest like your own chosen Foulkes Village.

I have a tourist alt heading up to the barren NW corner and adding the in-game description lines for any building he visits: the buildings in those ghost towns and red suburbs are practically all stubs. (I'm trying to see how long a level 1 character can survive with only the free running skill, and dark ruins to hide in...)--Mallrat 14:32, 20 November 2009 (UTC)"

That page you just edited wasn't Giles' actual talk page. You can find his talk here.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 14:39, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Alrighty. I set up a space in my sandbox here so we can keep track of what we're doing in Foulkes Village. It's just a centralized list of buildings that need descriptions and images. We can cross items off the list as we go by striking them. It's just a sandbox so please feel free to edit it however you want. If you have any other ideas about how to go about improving Foulkes Village just let me know. See ya around ;)--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 20:37, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

This is the best location ever. Great stuff!--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 16:10, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm looking forward to building up a mosaic of Foulkesian factoids together. It is definitely more fun working like this and knowing someone else appreciates the efforts. --Mallrat 16:28, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Dude you're a machine. I didn't think when we started out on this that you'd be putting together more than 4 times as many descriptions as me! :) But I'm definitely loving the history you're bringing to the table and your crisp writing style is very much appreciated. I can't wait to finish Foulkes Village. Anyhoo, I just got to a stopping point on a massive project to organize the location images on the wiki.

If you're interested, you can check out the image listing here. I've organized the images by location type so they're easy to search. You might find it useful to browse some of those images when you're thinking about finding a picture for the next hotel or warehouse or whatever. Well, I should be able to pick up my slacking efforts on Foulkes Village now I've got that done. Laters!--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 02:09, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Giles for the encouragement and the images. I lead a quiet life so I enjoy keeping my imagination active! Once Foulkes is suitably pimped I want to pimp out my own domain - Stanbury Village. It's sparsely described for such a busy burb.--Mallrat 09:22, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I just came across some of your descriptions as well; they're very clever! it's great to see people like yourself breathing some life into the otherwise-dull world of location pages.--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 19:56, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

I had tried my hand at this and failed massively. It's really great to see wiki pages such as those becoming readable. --Rahrah^{You know what to do.} 20:09, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Mmmm, the sweet sweet smell of wiki validation! If you can let me know which locations you've enjoyed, I would really value that info and any other feedback you can offer for future descriptions. I'm now focussing on Stanbury Village as it has such a rich history and is always active, but I'm dipping into Pegton from time to time and adding a few bits here and there.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 21:06, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey dude. Are you aware of Ross's short story contest? You're such a good writer, this one is right up your alley!--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 14:49, 4 April 2010 (BST)

Hi Giles, thanks for drawing my attention to this. "150 words or less" - perfect for lazy writers. :) --Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 07:41, 5 April 2010 (BST)

missed connection in Dunell Hills

Saw some of your danger level updates in the Dunell Hills area; do you have an alt there, too? My Necrotech junkie has been picking at scraps out there. --sannok^{(talk)(kilts)} 07:08, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I have a few minor (low level) characters who get activated from time to time. There's one called Wilfrid Foulkes currently in that area, trying to stay alive while learning the NT skills to be able to provide NecroWatch scans. --Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 07:15, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

My career-rotter Hermann Munster of zombie nightclub collective Clubbed to Death haunts the area from time to time, keeping it a pleasant hue of red or grey. He's usually based in Gulsonside or Osmondville as that's where our favourite clubs are located.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 13:25, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Re: Templar zergs

Hi there. Yes, the two characters you mentioned are indeed with our group. I assure you that as the Administrator of our forum, and a KT Council member, I have done everything in my power to make sure that these two characters are in fact different people. We have a zero tolerance policy towards zerging, and we take it very seriously. I can see where a question may have arisen, but we trust these two, and we ask that they be considered innocent of any wrong doing. Thanks. And, catch 'em if you can! -Roddy Winters 03:48, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up. We do indeed intend on killing and eating any of you whenever possible. Knights in armour = canned food.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 11:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Lay off

Tell your boys to stop shooting at me whenever I'm in Vinetown. I'm no stupid PKer! If M.E.R.C.Y is telling you otherwise then they are just upset still over one stupid joke I made, they have no sense of fun at all. What can you expect from wannabe nuns and priests. .--Officer Hayton 11:12, 18 February 2010 (GMT)

No.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 11:18, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Sounds like you have issues. How long is it since your last confession?--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 14:48, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I have more important things to worry about than making confessions you understand. Now would you kindly stop appearing when I least expect it and trying to blow my face apart. .--Officer Hayton 15:59, 18 February 2010 (GMT)

Okay, I'll see if I can mark the forthcoming demise of Good Grief in a way that won't give me any grief - a bit like Good Grief itself.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 20:12, 30 April 2010 (BST)

Create a user page about it perhaps, that allways provides a good laugh. --^TCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 20:13, 30 April 2010 (BST)

Just added it to the GG/Kills talk page instead. If/when GG folds, I guess the group's page will be speedily deleted by request.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 20:15, 30 April 2010 (BST)

Re: HIStory Vol III

So I was flicking through my user category and noticed your user page was in there. And that's odd. So after checking that I had closed all the noinclude tags on any templates I made, I figured out the problem. You've actually just copied the code for one of my templates instead of using the template call itself, which has landed your userpage in the same categories I'd placed the template in - namely, Category:User Templates and Category:Misanthropy. If you want to replace the HIStory template code with the actual template call - {{HistoryVolIII}}, that'll clear that right up and eliminate some cluttery code for you too. ◐◑ﷲ 02:26, 12 June 2010 (BST)

Thanks Mis, NB there's a typo in the template though: desription, not description. Hope you can fix it. Cheers.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 16:07, 20 June 2010 (BST)

Sisters of Failure: A Short Story

For the record, here's a conversation between the Mallrat, Sister Elissavet and (briefly) DDR... I've indicated where Sister E had hissy fits and deleted stuff. After this Sister E added all of my alts to the Sisters of Death KOS list. Oh noes!

Parachuting into malls to attack your target as a zombie because you can't get a revive anywhere is the last refuge of the failed PKer. Just join the RRF if that's what your game's been reduced to, Sister Elissavet!--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 07:33, 24 July 2010 (BST)

I didn't parachute, I entered as a zombie. Let's see. . . our goal in life is to kill survivors. What should our goal in unlife be, to help them? What a silly idea. No, we're going to kill survivors and eat their brains when we're zombies. Don't like it? Here's a kleenex for you to wipe your tears and your snotty little nose. --Sister Elissavet 04:59, 30 July 2010 (BST)

"Parachuting into malls to attack your target as a zombie because you can't get a revive anywhere"... wait... she "can't get a revive anywhere"... so she's "Parachuting"... You do know what parachuting is, right? --VVV ^RMFBGFCABWUS 06:10, 30 July 2010 (BST)

He's just a whiner. Imagine, crying because I bite when I'm a zombie. --Sister Elissavet 15:13, 30 July 2010 (BST)

You're all silly and THIS PAGE HURTS MY FUCKING EYES --

 

 

 

 

15:27, 30 July 2010 (BST)

It really does. I suggested some more muted tones that work just as well a while back but I can't find where I did it. :( ◐◑ﷲ 15:29, 30 July 2010 (BST)

I've seen a fuckload of painful colour choices on this wiki but nothing this burninating --

 

 

 

 

16:08, 30 July 2010 (BST)

1. Is someone twisting your arm and forcing you to look at it?

2. Shouldn't you have started a new section for this page bashing topic?

3. Isn't it nice to see that mallrat has friends to jump up and cheer him on?

It's rather droll that you wouldn't support his silly complaint about killing survivors while in an undead state, but have instead turned to complaining about the background color. It's ok though. I don't mind the criticism at all. I think I might find something a little brighter, with a hint of orange in it, just for your page viewing enjoyment. "Burninating" . . . that's a good word. I might have to use it on occasion myself. --Sister Elissavet 16:42, 30 July 2010 (BST)

"Imagine, crying because I bite when I'm a zombie." Errrm, no, I was mocking you for being a PKer who has to resort to killing as a zombie because no-one will revive you.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 15:21, 1 August 2010 (BST)

Get a life, crybaby. --Sister Elissavet 05:21, 2 August 2010 (BST)

Learn to read, sweetheart. Hope you enjoyed getting your arse kicked in Vinetown.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 06:25, 2 August 2010 (BST)

I'd say "act your age," but it occurs to me that you probably are. We'll pick up where we left off when you get your drivers license or move out of your mom's basement.--Sister Elissavet 15:04, 2 August 2010 (BST)

1. Yes. I'm an admin on this wiki, I have tentative responsibilities to make sure everything going on in this wiki is non-vandalistic and kosher.
2. Would you like me to?
3. Of all the idiotic things to say, what part of "You're all silly" makes you think I'm Mallrat's friend? I don't get it.

Feel free to use the word burninating all you want, I doubt you'll find a more fitting word to niggle inside your head while you remain on this page reading its content. --

 

 

 

 

07:00, 2 August 2010 (BST)

. . . . and your criticism of me is part of your admin duties? How professional. --Sister Elissavet 15:04, 2 August 2010 (BST)

You asked why I was looking at it, not why I was criticising it, hence my answer. To save you asking, I was criticising it because it's unforgivably disgusting. Any more flawless quips to throw? --

 

 

 

 

15:10, 2 August 2010 (BST)

This comment was deleted by Sister E: Go easy DDR, she might accuse you of not being able to drive, or living with your mom (or mum). Indeed, your professionalism as admin has already been impugned... She's a veritable Oscar Wilde of the burninating quip, I tell ya!--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 16:09, 2 August 2010 (BST)

This comment was also deleted by Sister E: So you're okay with being told what you say is "idiotic", your website "disgusting", and the word "fuck" isn't vulgar, but if I say you're no Oscar Wilde you get your big nun's panties in a wad? Interesting!--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 06:57, 3 August 2010 (BST)

And so was this one - is a pattern emerging? :) Please point out where my deleted comments were "uncouth, vulgar, or rude". I'd love to hear your explanation.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 15:26, 3 August 2010 (BST)

Alas, no reply was forthcoming to this simple question, instead Sister E delivered the following pompous sermon:

Concerning Mallrat

Mallrat, your continued childishness isn't wanted here. Your complaint regarding my dual nature playing style has been noted. It's time to grow up and go your way now. Any further posting on this page from you will be deleted on sight. If you wish to disparage me further, do it on your own page. This concludes my involvement in this matter. Have a nice life. --Sister Elissavet 21:05, 3 August 2010 (BST)

(Translation: Waaaah waaaah waaaah waaaaah.)

Sister E, you're now in the dubious company of Rufus Vanzant and Aiden Furry. I will indeed continue to disparage you and other humourless and useless PKers. Have a template.

	Crybaby
	Waaah waaah waaah!

Safehouse bug

Okay, McManix's current safehouse has now been marked as scouted. Thanks for the bug report. --Kevan 01:16, 22 August 2010 (BST)

Wow, at last a touch of class on my talk page - an actual comment from Kevan. Cheers!--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 12:43, 22 August 2010 (BST)

Re:As ever

Why do you insist on pestering me once more? I have obviously moved on and rejoined the CAPD to fight the good fight. So go find your laughs elsewhere. Good luck in the future and happy hunting.--No one ever pays Rufus in gum! 23:27, 27 October 2010 (BST)

'POV Kilt Garbage'?

The Kilt Store page has over 50,000 hits. That justifies calling The Kilt Store 'famous' IMO. The RRF is also 'famous'. That's not POV, it's fact. Worse still - comparing the Kilt Store to McZeds - it's like comparing Savile Row to a hipster flea market.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 03:36, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

I meant that the Kilt store is almost as bad as McZeds in that they put quasi-ads on supposedly NPOV articles. I'm not questioning the quality of your services or product. --VVV ^RMFBGFCABWUS 04:42, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

CTRA

Thanks anyway for the help with the Gulsonside page. And, by the way, the group doesn't just consist of one person, it now consists of three players. I added some graffiti to several buildings in the area, writing that they had been quarantined due to the infection by CTRA. I was only hoping to add some backstory for the purpose of fiction, is all.

Urban Dead began in 2005, so it's logical that the in-game CTRA has been in action since that time, quarantining Malton. However, it is only now that they are beginning to resurface.--CTRA 05:45, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for your reply. I'm all in favour of backstory - see my contributions on location descriptions in Pegton, Foulkes Village, Stanbury Village etc - but that's different from just making stuff up about a new group and putting it at the top of the suburb page. The other sections on Gulsonside about different groups are all 'historical' inasmuch they describe what actually happened in-game, and those groups have had a significant impact on the area at various times. A lot of suburbs would simply delete all of those sections for not being neutral but Gulsonsiders feel the history adds to the suburb's interest. However, if every group that visits or is operational in Gulsonside used the suburb description to advertise its presence, the page would soon be swamped with recruiting puffs, propaganda and other verbiage. --Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 10:01, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Rotting Snoopy

This may sound like sort of an odd question, but do you have an alternate account known as 'Rotting Snoopy'? --CTRA 19:52, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

No. I wish I did, Rotting Snoopy rocks.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 16:42, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

He does not 'rock'. He is a PK'er who has been terrorizing my group. Do you know how to contact him?--CTRA 20:30, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I believe you're misinformed about his rockingness. As I recall Rotting Snoopy is working to prevent Rotters' Relief from wilfully reviving known PKers, zergers and griefers at their clinics. It may be dirty work but it's a just cause. I am in contact with the person who plays Rotting Snoopy (though my characters don't work with him), but it's a secure forum that we don't publicise here. Sorry.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 02:58, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Please, I am asking you to contact Rotting Snoopy. He has wrongfully accused members of my group as being zergers of Rotter's Relief and thus, PK'ed them. We have NO contact with Rotter's Relief and are not affiliated with them. Please give him the following report that will help clear up any bad blood behind my group and his: A member of my team, Killer Moth, was recently accused of being a zerger account for Bigger Fish, a Rotter's Relief member. Your basis for this accusation, although logical, is mistaken. Killer Moth told me that he used a combat revive on RR member Bigger Fish without knowing who he was. He was only trying to clear a building for survivors, not revive anyone in particular. He then went back to the building later and attacked a Zombie there to help clear the building, not because he was working for Rotter's Relief. It was a coincidence that Bigger Fish later came and finished the Zombie off. A member of your team warned Killer not to revive Bigger Fish and other RR members, and he heeded it. However, the fact he killed a member of your group was because that member was a Zombie in a building he was trying to repair and barricade, not because he hates your group. For a while, I just advised Moth to stay out of Houldenbank and out of you guys' way, but then you tracked him to Penny Heights. Poor Moth has been killed no less than three times, each time accompanied by an accusation that he is a Zerger for Bigger Fish.

I hope that this will clear the whole matter up and we can forget this unfortunate incident ever happened.

Thanks,--CTRA 20:19, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I've contacted the Snoopster with your message. For the record, I don't work with the guys at Rotters Relief = PKers Relief. I just stand back and applaud because they make Mick's life in Vinetown that bit easier as he doesn't have to deal with a constant flow of rot-revived zergers and griefers. I'm sorry to hear a friend of yours got caught in the crossfire, and thanks for being so reasonable and patient.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 04:06, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Here's Snoopy's reply: "I'll take him off the RR KOS list, but if we see him in Greatorex, or reviving RR members, or reviving PKers and known zergers, he'll go back on.

"Snoopy apologizes for the confusion, but Rotter's Relief does zerg and PK in their efforts to revive anyone in their clinics even if they are known zergers and PKers." --Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 03:24, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your patient help and cooperation. You have just repaired relations between our groups and prevented a KOS war.--CTRA 13:34, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

No problem. Is a group hug in order?--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 15:20, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

CK

Just trying to diffuse the drama for the sake of the page. Thank you for answering my question hopefully that calms things down a bit there. --Karek^maps?! 21:46, 2 April 2011 (BST)

Scouting

Of course, i will re-scout the subs, just tell me which one they are.

I already changed Gulsonside, Stanbury Village and Osmondville because I know the situation in those burbs, directly through my characters and through regular, detailed reports from other people. With that in mind, there may be errors among the other 21 Danger Reports you changed as well - to blanket the whole of southern Malton in green seems unlikely to be an accurate reflection of their current status. Also, please sign your posts! Thanks.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 14:38, 9 April 2011 (BST)

I've scouted some of the parts that are suspicious and he's actually right for most of them- there is more discussion here, if you've scouted some of the contested suburbs your input, evidence or claims would be greatly appreciated, Mallrat -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 14:58, 9 April 2011 (BST)

Cheers, DDR: if I see any other changes that don't stack up I will revert them to reflect the correct situation. I think it sometimes hinges on the fact that there just aren't that many zombies around (The Dead notwithstanding), but even so that doesn't always make a burb completely safe.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 15:37, 9 April 2011 (BST)

Clubbing...

Sounds good, see ya soon. --Crash Malloy 19:39, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Finally made it!

I sent Little Crash [1] over to Gulsonside and is currently around the ruins of Blesley Mall. Point me to where you guys currently are so we can munch some brains! --Crash Malloy 18:35, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for late reply, I was away on holiday... We're gathered around the mall and its nearby resources (Perryn NT, the Vawer and Grylls police departments) as usual, but a good current target is Wetherall NT, which is caded and lit. It's hovering between QSB-VSB but hit rates on the cades seem to be very low.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 05:22, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the late replay myself. I've been around Perryn NT lately, can't seem to find any CTD zombies, but that might just be me. --Crash Malloy 19:45, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

We're scattered around in the absence of concerted threats, but there are usually some of us in the mall, the Vawer/Grylls PD area, Wetherall and Perryn NT, and the buildings neighbouring the mall. Grylls PD in Osmondville is a good target just now; we've recently reclaimed Vawer.--Mallrat ^{TSI TKS CTD} 12:51, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Headed there ASAP. --Crash Malloy 21:18, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
