At first, the fear of zombies causes many to be wary about not using guns. But a couple step up early: [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=26652 Fireman Cuthbert] and [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=74098 Brian Boru]. Soon, others join--one by one, or in small groups--individuals who have seen far too much death and far too many of their loved ones slaughtered. Axe slingers gather to wage war on the undead, fighting for the living and forswearing firearms. Axes High first gathers in Shackleville at the Horsey Museum, where a hospital and two fire stations make for a familiar base. Tenk creates the first [http://www.geocities.com/tenk_axeshigh/index.html Axes High website] using his beat up laptop and the spotty electricity. At first, Tenk was the clear leader, with his heroism and military genius an example for all. But he did not thrive as the sole leader and sought input from the others. There was a vote among the members. They voted against a permanent hierarchy and voted for leadership which led by example, with each member able to contribute ideas and inspiration. Tenk was the first among equals, until his untimely death. In late September a vote was taken to move operations to Barrville, with Strange Bank acting as the headquarters. | ||
*'''October 23, 2005''' - This date saw the successful conclusion of Axes High's first major campaign, the occupation and defense of [[Floyde Stadium]]. For more than 2 weeks they were able to successfully repel near constant incursions into the stadium by a large group of zombies, later tentatively identified as the [[Church of the Resurrection]] based on scattered information available at the time. When news of an impending attack on the entire suburb of [[Barrville]] by elements of [[the Ridleybank Resistance Front]] and [[the Undying Scourge]] was discovered, as well as anticipating the overdue modification to the in-game mechanics governing movement within large buildings, the decision was made to move to a more defensible location. Prior to the move to a more active defensive position, Axes High encouraged those survivors who were then staying in [[Floyde Stadium]] to find an alternate shelter before the zombie hordes arrived. It is estimated that between 15 and 20 non-aligned survivors were saved from the predations of [[the Ridleybank Resistance Front]] and [[the Undying Scourge]] as a direct result of this strategic withdrawal. | *'''October 23, 2005''' - This date saw the successful conclusion of Axes High's first major campaign, the occupation and defense of [[Floyde Stadium]].
