Dakerstown, AKA "Suburb One," is a suburb of Malton, located at the northwest corner of the city.
Dakerstown was the site of some of the first zombie-human interaction, as both zombies and humans initially gravitated towards the corners of the city. Some of this action (on the part of the zombies) was coordinated via the mailing list, and was thus an early example of metagaming.
Dakerstown is also notable as it was the last suburb to discover the location of its mobile phone mast and was the first to be given the classification of Ghost Town.
Dakerstown is a suburb that has seen a lot of action. The IWM, had previously enacted a policy of general hostility and fought several wars in an attempt to drive other groups out. For quite some time it was in a state of civil war between the IMW and several communist alligned factions. It is currently a battleground between local survivor groups the Urban Guerillas and FUACK on the side of communism, and on the zombie side Extinction. The Blue Aegis Group calls this suburb home.

Fighting has broken out in central Dakerstown with both Swearse PD and Bartholomews Hospital under attack by Extinction troops. The hospital fell again last night to the marauding undead and an unsightly massacre of the patients and staff ensued. Condolences go out to the friends and family of long time Dakerstown stalwart and member of FUACK Saint Murphy who succumbed to the viral onslaught defending to the last. --Zeug 04:02, 12 August 2009 (BST)

25.96 MHz: "... can see maybe fifty on the streets of Dakerstown ... maybe a dozen outside Swearse Lane Police Dept ... a few buildings with lights on ... serious collateral damage ..." --Rat of Steel 12:03, 3 August 2009 (BST)
Based on recent External Military data, the danger level of Dakerstown has been upgraded from Moderately Dangerous to Dangerous. --Rat of Steel 12:03, 3 August 2009 (BST)
25.96 MHz: "... can see about sixty on the streets of Dakerstown ... a few big groups, but they're spread out ... a few buildings with lights on ... serious collateral damage ..." --Rat of Steel 18:26, 3 August 2009 (BST)

25.96 MHz: "... leaving Dakerstown, counted about forty outside ... mostly just stragglers, no organised groups ... several buildings with power ... only a few buildings damaged ..."
- Less zombie, but also less power? Perhaps a fuel shortage. -- Kittithaj 19:26, 18 July 2009 (BST)
- Zeds in the southwest corner of the suburb appear to be making a point of attacking auto repairs. This could help explain the reduction in lit building numbers. --Lord K 00:27, 19 July 2009 (BST)

A large influx of zombies can be seen in the area, most likely because of the revival of Extinction. --Super Nweb 21:28, 14 July 2009 (BST)

Most of Dakerstown is intact with the exception of dark buildings and hospitals are regularly switching control between survivors and zombies. Quick scout of the suburb tallied approx. 30 in the streets. Downgrading suburb status to moderately dangerous. --Lord K 23:04, 12 July 2009 (BST)

About
Because of the sudden influx of zombies to Dakerstown this suburb is no longer safe for low level players; the barricade plan has been updated to reflect this change. Efforts have been made to leave resource buildings open for low level players but survivors without Free Running would be safer elsewhere. The placement of junkyards in this suburb make them ideal entry points, and the use of the junkyard at 6,7 as an RP allows revivers to save AP.
EHB Emergency Policy
During emergencies, all resource buildings may be raised to EHB as a precautionary measure. Survivors are encouraged to use the nearby entry points as an alternate. Citizens without the Free Running skill are highly encouraged to acquire it to prevent death in case of break-ins to VSB buildings. This status should only be set during times when the danger status for the suburb is at Very Dangerous, although other special circumstances may call for Emergency Status as well. At no time will non-resource buildings marked as VSB be caded above that level.
History
This barricade plan was updated on January 1st, 2011, for a more secure suburb. As of this writing, many of the buildings are ransacked and have zombies inside. A local survivor group is currently in the process of reclaiming the suburb. Survivors without free-running are advised to stay away as most buildings will be at EHB while the zombie threat is pushed out. The policy is subject to change without notice as local conditions dictate. --Zakarus 20:15, 1 JAN 2011 (UTC)
