Ransacked danger level not listed with Building Danger Levels

This probably isn't so much of a big deal to everyone, but this is just something I found odd.

At one time, I saw an image for a 'ransacked' building status in a danger report, and seeing as it wasn't in the list of available codes for building danger levels, I assumed that this was a newer code and image. Of course if you're someone used to the wiki and updating building statuses, you would know that the code for this is ransacked. People who are very new to the wiki and editing building statuses will probably have a hard time finding out that such a code exists (as was with my case wherein I always used the ruined code even if the building is just ransacked, with an added comment of: "Building not yet ruined."

tl;dr aside, I propose the addition of this (possibly) little known code into the current list. -- Chirurgien  (talk)  09:02, 2 September 2010 (BST)

Missing danger level

Recently, I've frequently come across situations where I had trouble picking the right situation: Zeds have broken in, but there is still a reasonable survivor presence, so the conflict might go both ways. Currently, all danger levels either have barricades up, or building ransacked/ruined. There's no middle ground (except rebuilding, which gives the wrong message in this case). Granted, the middle ground often only lasts for a few hours, but this might make it all the more important to incorporate it in the danger levels, to signal both parties help is needed.

I propose a new danger level: Contested: 'The building is open but intact, zombies and survivors are battling inside for possession of the building.' --Itsacon ^{(Talk | Grungni | Ikhnaton)} 09:13, 23 October 2009 (BST)

I agree completely, I just had the same problem. I propose showing a break-in with few zombies. There aren't that many zombies outside, but they are about even to the survivors. Maybe the levels shouldn't go by horde size, but instead a zombie to survivor ratio; as a smaller mall like Lumber for example tends to be less populated. I also think we should show a large break-in. Only having status with cades up isn't really under attack or under siege, having them all in your face is. --Rohndogg1 15:37, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

I concur with this completely; a review of the current building danger level codes available for use in the danger reports would be quite welcome. -- Chirurgien  (talk)  09:02, 2 September 2010 (BST)
