5th of November/2016
Remember remember the 5th of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot...
Planning
Codename V once said:
"Verily, we do always face uncertainty and terror. Right now I wish for my friends and allies to think once more about the middle of Malton, Ridleybank. I seek that you reignite the fire of battle and load up, stock up and get ready to move into the heart of Malton on the 5th of November. Show the badge of our cause on your pages. Brandish weapons, tool kits and the dexterity of greatness. This 5th of November, 2007, let us flood into Ridleybank like a burst dam and heal, recuperate and repair the centre of our fair city!"
The Fifth of November assault is one of the biggest survivor events of the year, and made a roaring comeback in 2015. For 10 years, Ridleybank has been one of the most well known suburbs in the city, and for 10 years, the RRF has claimed it as their homeland. This year, we retake Ridleybank from the hordes that claim it as theirs.
Lets make this a day for survivors to celebrate, and for zombies to fear again.
NecroConnect is running the 5th of November festivities, and providing spaces on their forums for both survivors and zombies to plan for the assault. stelar (talk) 13:10, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

What Went Down
Preparations
On October 5th, Bob Moncrief started a thread on the NecroConnect forums asking whether or not people were interested in a 5th of November event this year, since the previous year's went so well.Over the next week, several zombies, survivors and PKers reacted positively, but the thread went silent after that.
On October 20th, Johnny Twotoes revived the thread by asking what the next steps would be and things got started once again, with planning threads popping up in both the survivor and the zombie sections of the forum and invitations being sent to several groups on both sides and Radio Malton announcing that they'd cover the event live.
The Ridleybank Resistance Front didn't hesitate, with Papa Bosch asking for zombie support early on as they geared up to repell the invaders of their homelands, and The Scourge was the first to respond in support of the RRF.
On the survivor side, invitations were sent to the DEM, The Fortress, MCM, East Becktown Defenders, The Malton Zookeepers, Knights Templar, Soldiers of Crossman, Dunell Hills Police Department and the Army Control Corps.
In the week before the 5th, several East Becktown Defenders and a single Zookeeper went into glorious battle, Combat Revived most of the undead occupants of the Blackmore Building, after which they repaired it and barricaded the doors. They were soon joined by several Malton Rangers and held their ground for several days, until the barricades were breached on the 4th. Some friendly/passive agressive banter was exchanged between several of the occupants and the local zombie population, with at least one zombie referencing his "banana" in an inappropriate manner.
