Cannonball Crew
The Cannonball Crew (CC) is a mobile combat unit dedicated to protecting Malton from the undead. The group specializes in coordination and real-time assaults to deny zombies any ill-gotten meals. Its unofficial headquarters is Strange Bank in Barrville, but members are more likely to be found battling zombies throughout the city. As a nomadic force, the Cannonball Crew enjoys a variety of missions involving all aspects of the game. Being part of the Crew means fighting alongside a group of experienced and knowledgeable players who have your back.

HISTORY
Founded in the early days of the outbreak by Tony Blair, the Cannonball Crew formed alongside the original Council of Leaders as its military wing and became the first strike team in the city. The group has fought in numerous epic battles including the First and Second Siege of Caiger Mall, the 5th of November and The Battle of Pitneybank. Many survivor and zombie groups have come and gone, but the Cannonball Crew has persevered because of its devoted members and the camaraderie they've built. Long live the Crew.
COMMAND STRUCTURE
The Cannonball Crew employs a military-style rank system (see Ranks & Insignia) and members rise through the group based on their participation and performance. New members start as Loose Cannons (LC). Active and dedicated Loose Cannons then advance to become Loose Cannons Soldiers (LC Soldiers). Loose Cannons Soldiers who distinguish themselves are then eligible to become full-fledged Cannonball Crew members. Cannonball Crew members that exhibit leadership skills are then eligible for a position in the Command Staff.

POLICIES
The Cannonball Crew does not practice or support Multi abuse, Zerging, Combat Reviving (CRing), Generator Killing (GKing), or Player Killing (PKing) (although we may practice Bounty Hunting as revenge on a PKer that kills one of our own). As for Zombie Killing (ZKing), a few of us have been known to participate in attacks against zombies after we have unfortunately been killed. We neither condone nor condemn this activity. It's just that some of us have been fighting zombies for so long it has become etched into our existence and we continue to fight even after death.
NON-MEMBERS
Every established group has its detractors and the Cannonball Crew is no exception. If you are attacked or witness an attack or other crime (such as GKing), rest assured that the following characters are not members or in any way currently affiliated with the Cannonball Crew.
