The Chivalrous Sophists are survivors and do survivoresque things.
==donning the mantle==
We thrash against the inequality of society with fists of paint, of clay, of ink, of brass, of skin, of light, of sound – of right. In a moment - the moment - we must define the fleeting boundary of poetry. The untouchable art of poetry, its subjective whatitisliketobe, must become the concrete under our feet. This thesis must carve out the crucial difference between art as propaganda and mere propaganda.
The difference between poetry and rhetoric is murder and conspiracy. The bloodthirsty barbarism of society makes it crystal clear that someone must die. Trapped rats in an urban prison, the quasi-ritualistic killing of an unnamed someone rests democratically in the hands of the majority, serving as a debased safety valve of emotion. If the ignorant can stranglehold the enlightened, no idiot can die in this perverse rite of democracy.
Poetry means self-destruction in society. Poetry makes the last stand against all odds in a rearguard action for the future. Even avant-garde poetry does not exist for its own sake. All poetry exists to promote a better future at the cost of cultural warring and discord in the present. The surrealists wanted a certain level of cavalier existence to take root in society, a focused liberty that drained the world of its opacity. The punks wanted anarchy. The blues were made to sing the sorrows of a people who never wanted to see those sorrows again. The price paid for the poet is to no longer play the silent Elizabethan fool. The poet cannot be Ellison’s ''Invisible Man'', untouchable and, likewise, invincible. These curses and blessings are anathema to the poet in this city, as the poet is a prophet. The poet is an Isaiah – singing first of Babylon’s destruction, then of the glory of Zion.
The warrior-poets shout like banshees because they refuse to see their future destroyed. The poet cannot be a rhetorician, eloquently mindful of the majority audience. The majority audience is planning on killing the poet, after all. The rhetorician has the option of slithering in the shadows, because the rhetorician requires the agreement of the audience to succeed.
Poets are no longer poets if they pan to the majority. Poetry can only be projected into the future. A poetic voice cannot change the present - the moment - because it requires the present for its own propagation, its own proliferation.
The culling of a society is less debase that the sacrifice of its future voices. If, after all, the voices in the moment cannot see the hope of the future, then all will fall to despair and decay.
In response, the poet is locked and loaded.
==infinite progression==
Current studies include:
* Italian;
* the acoustic guitar;
* protosemantics, nonsense, and neologism.

The Order of the Black Rose is a pro-survivor group that understands that some suburbs are harder to keep safe than others.  Typically this is because of active and organized zombie groups in the area.  But in the southwest corner of Malton, in District 2, zombies are only the beginning of the problem. 
'''[[Philosophe Knights/Members|Members]]'''<br/>
<small>''A Brief Codex of Names''</small>
|}


Why?  Because in all five of the suburbs that make up SW District 2, there is '''only one [[NecroTech building]].'''  That's right, only one.  Naturally, this poses some unique obstacles for survivor groups operating in [[Crooketon]], [[Grigg Heights]], [[Lerwill Heights]], [[Mornington]], and [[Reganbank]].
The OBR bases itself out of not one, but all five of the above suburbs.  They recognize that they are in a dangerous part of Malton, and that communication and teamwork are key. 


Most often you can find members of the OBR rebuilding the various suburbs or working to maintain the local [[mobile phone mast|MalTel]] locations.  We're also partial to spending time drinking in the pubs, looking at fine art in the museums, or getting in some much needed reading at the local libraries.


{| style="padding:2px; vertical-align:top; background-color:#E7DFCE; border:solid 1px #AF7817"

<br>
The Order of the Black Rose is a mobile group, but generally this is relegated to being mobile within the five suburbs of SW-2 (known to members as the Rose District).  Regardless of where our members are, our objectives remain the same: Rebuild, Reinforce, Revive, and Maintain.
*'''Rebuild'''
::Many survivor groups (and independent survivors) tend to avoid the Rose District because of the lack of NecroTech buildings, or in some cases lack of other tactical resource buildings.  This inevitably leads to a smaller local population to rebuild after large hordes come through.  As such, rebuilding is the most common task for members of the OBR.
::Naturally, this also means that most members should carry a [[toolbox]] and have the Construction skill.  As our organization grows, this won't be as important that every member have these.
*'''Reinforce'''
::The Order of the Black Rose lives in a pretty rough part of town, and above all we know the value of allies.  We will readily go to the aid of our allies, just as we would expect them to come to our aid if we were in dire straits.
::The ''only exception'' to this is in cases where there are extremely few OBR members not suffering from a case of DEATH.  In such cases, individual members may opt to defend an OBR safehouse and work to promote the group and revive members.  Since these situations should be exceedingly rare, members should expect to aid our allies, even if that aid is relegated to FAKing and reviving.
*'''Revive'''
::Just because staying alive in the Rose District is rough ''doesn't'' mean that it should be.  The Order of the Black Rose will do its best to maintain revive points in each of the five suburbs in our jurisdiction.
::<span style="color: Red">'''NOTE:'''</span> ''At this time, the Order of the Black Rose is not maintaining any unique revive points due to insufficient members.  Those seeking revives are encouraged to wait at local revive points and contact the OBR for a revive.
*'''Maintain'''
::The Order of the Black Rose does its best to maintain barricade levels at agreed upon levels, but let's face it... we're just one group.  We also work to keep as many TRPs powered (or at least not ruined) as possible.  In order of priority...
#[[NecroTech Building]] - ''there is only 1, so naturally this is a major priority''
#[[Hospitals]]
#[[Police Departments]]
::Priority is also given to keeping mobile mast buildings and OBR safehouses powered and fueled for mobile phone coverage and radio broadcasting.  Communication (both in-game and meta-gaming) are huge tools that many survivors are either unable to use due to lack of power or choose not to use.  By keeping these options available, we can only benefit the survivor effort.
:::To help with maintaining various buildings, the Order of the Black Rose also maintains a [[Order of the Black Rose/Building Watch List|Building Watch List]] to keep locals and fellow members updated on the status of important buildings in the Rose District.

|}


*'''No Zerging'''
:Zerging means using 2 or more alts to perform any task, which includes fighting the same group, and using/sharing ANY information with one alt gathered by another. Alts must lead separate lives.  Failure to do so will force the OBR to bring a horribly swift case of DEATH down upon you, as well as call in a [http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Protoss Protoss] airstrike to fry your no-good zerg arse.
*'''Only 1 character per person is allowed to be in the Order of the Black Rose'''
:Using more than one character in the same group not only borderlines alt abuse, it is considered a cheap tactic.  So don't be lame; show a little pride and only have one character in the OBR.
*'''No [[GKer|GKing]]'''
:There is almost no time in which destroying a generator in a tactical resource building is beneficial to the survivor side. As for non TRP's, it can be useful at times to sleep in a darkened building, and is allowed, provided the action does not harm/hamper other survivors.
*'''No [[Player Killer|PKing]]'''
:PKing is only allowable under circumstances where an OBR member has been killed. Never kill a fellow group member, or ally. If there is a problem, bring it to the attention of the group, and we'll first seek a diplomatic solution to the problem.
*'''No Spying'''
:Joining a group/forum to gain undisclosed knowledge under false pretenses is strictly forbidden. Spying is underhanded, dirty, and not in the spirit of this group.  Information in the public domain is acceptable, as is any information they disclose to you, provided they know full well in advance that you will share the information with the Order of the Black Rose.
*'''Conduct must remain civil'''
:While playful banter with enemies is encouraged, remember that this is a game. Our enemies are here to have a good time just as much as we are. Be sportsmanlike in your actions. Keep the language at PG-13 and below in game, and on public forums.
*'''Have Fun'''
:As said earlier, we at the Order of the Black Rose take our jobs seriously, but we want you to have fun doing it.  Don't be afraid to spend those AP to talk and have a good time.


[[Category:Philosophe Knights]]
The punishment for infractions vary from verbal warning, to expulsion from the group, based on frequency and severity of the infraction.


The Order of the Black Rose is an equal rights group. Every member has a voice and is encouraged to provide opinions and comments on group operations and activities, provided they do not go against these rules.

The Order of the Black Rose does not have or utilize a radio frequency reserved for its use alone.  Because of the nature of our operations it does not make sense to do so.  Instead, all OBR broadcasts will be on radio frequency 26.12--this is the district radio frequency for SW-2.

{| style="width:850px; font-family: verdana; font-size:90%" align=center CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0
Broadcasts on this frequency should pertain to activities within the district that are public knowledge or should be public knowledge (status of the NT and various other TRPs, horde movements, etc.).  Any information that falls outside this realm or require a degree of security should be left to the Order of the Black Rose forum, located at [http://www.beerhah.com Beerhah.com].

Introduction to the OBR


A picture of district SW-2 with the lone NecroTech building, located in Grigg Heights.

The Order of the Black Rose is a pro-survivor group that understands that some suburbs are harder to keep safe than others. Typically this is because of active and organized zombie groups in the area. But in the southwest corner of Malton, in District 2, zombies are only the beginning of the problem.

Why? Because in all five of the suburbs that make up SW District 2, there is only one NecroTech building. That's right, only one. Naturally, this poses some unique obstacles for survivor groups operating in Crooketon, Grigg Heights, Lerwill Heights, Mornington, and Reganbank. The OBR bases itself out of not one, but all five of the above suburbs. They recognize that they are in a dangerous part of Malton, and that communication and teamwork are key.

Most often you can find members of the OBR rebuilding the various suburbs or working to maintain the local MalTel locations. We're also partial to spending time drinking in the pubs, looking at fine art in the museums, or getting in some much needed reading at the local libraries.

Generally speaking, the Order of the Black Rose tries to strike that careful balance between being serious about our duties and having fun while we're doing it.


Group Goals & Objectives


The Order of the Black Rose is a mobile group, but generally this is relegated to being mobile within the five suburbs of SW-2 (known to members as the Rose District). Regardless of where our members are, our objectives remain the same: Rebuild, Reinforce, Revive, and Maintain.

  • Rebuild
Many survivor groups (and independent survivors) tend to avoid the Rose District because of the lack of NecroTech buildings, or in some cases lack of other tactical resource buildings. This inevitably leads to a smaller local population to rebuild after large hordes come through. As such, rebuilding is the most common task for members of the OBR.
Naturally, this also means that most members should carry a toolbox and have the Construction skill. As our organization grows, this won't be as important that every member have these.
  • Reinforce
The Order of the Black Rose lives in a pretty rough part of town, and above all we know the value of allies. We will readily go to the aid of our allies, just as we would expect them to come to our aid if we were in dire straits.
The only exception to this is in cases where there are extremely few OBR members not suffering from a case of DEATH. In such cases, individual members may opt to defend an OBR safehouse and work to promote the group and revive members. Since these situations should be exceedingly rare, members should expect to aid our allies, even if that aid is relegated to FAKing and reviving.
  • Revive
Just because staying alive in the Rose District is rough doesn't mean that it should be. The Order of the Black Rose will do its best to maintain revive points in each of the five suburbs in our jurisdiction.
NOTE: At this time, the Order of the Black Rose is not maintaining any unique revive points due to insufficient members. Those seeking revives are encouraged to wait at local revive points and contact the OBR for a revive.
  • Maintain
The Order of the Black Rose does its best to maintain barricade levels at agreed upon levels, but let's face it... we're just one group. We also work to keep as many TRPs powered (or at least not ruined) as possible. In order of priority...
  1. NecroTech Building - there is only 1, so naturally this is a major priority
  2. Hospitals
  3. Police Departments
Priority is also given to keeping mobile mast buildings and OBR safehouses powered and fueled for mobile phone coverage and radio broadcasting. Communication (both in-game and meta-gaming) are huge tools that many survivors are either unable to use due to lack of power or choose not to use. By keeping these options available, we can only benefit the survivor effort.
To help with maintaining various buildings, the Order of the Black Rose also maintains a Building Watch List to keep locals and fellow members updated on the status of important buildings in the Rose District.


Group Rules & Regulations


  • No Zerging
Zerging means using 2 or more alts to perform any task, which includes fighting the same group, and using/sharing ANY information with one alt gathered by another. Alts must lead separate lives. Failure to do so will force the OBR to bring a horribly swift case of DEATH down upon you, as well as call in a Protoss airstrike to fry your no-good zerg arse.
  • Only 1 character per person is allowed to be in the Order of the Black Rose
Using more than one character in the same group not only borderlines alt abuse, it is considered a cheap tactic. So don't be lame; show a little pride and only have one character in the OBR.
There is almost no time in which destroying a generator in a tactical resource building is beneficial to the survivor side. As for non TRP's, it can be useful at times to sleep in a darkened building, and is allowed, provided the action does not harm/hamper other survivors.
PKing is only allowable under circumstances where an OBR member has been killed. Never kill a fellow group member, or ally. If there is a problem, bring it to the attention of the group, and we'll first seek a diplomatic solution to the problem.
  • No Spying
Joining a group/forum to gain undisclosed knowledge under false pretenses is strictly forbidden. Spying is underhanded, dirty, and not in the spirit of this group. Information in the public domain is acceptable, as is any information they disclose to you, provided they know full well in advance that you will share the information with the Order of the Black Rose.
  • Conduct must remain civil
While playful banter with enemies is encouraged, remember that this is a game. Our enemies are here to have a good time just as much as we are. Be sportsmanlike in your actions. Keep the language at PG-13 and below in game, and on public forums.
  • Have Fun
As said earlier, we at the Order of the Black Rose take our jobs seriously, but we want you to have fun doing it. Don't be afraid to spend those AP to talk and have a good time.

The punishment for infractions vary from verbal warning, to expulsion from the group, based on frequency and severity of the infraction.

The Order of the Black Rose is an equal rights group. Every member has a voice and is encouraged to provide opinions and comments on group operations and activities, provided they do not go against these rules.


OBR Radio Frequency

know what you are talking about Short-wave Radio Info
This group or location has a dedicated radio frequency.

Frequency: 26.12 MHz
Transmitter Coordinates: OBR Safehouses


The Order of the Black Rose does not have or utilize a radio frequency reserved for its use alone. Because of the nature of our operations it does not make sense to do so. Instead, all OBR broadcasts will be on radio frequency 26.12--this is the district radio frequency for SW-2.

Broadcasts on this frequency should pertain to activities within the district that are public knowledge or should be public knowledge (status of the NT and various other TRPs, horde movements, etc.). Any information that falls outside this realm or require a degree of security should be left to the Order of the Black Rose forum, located at Beerhah.com.
