Tired of Malton? Want to get away from it all? We offer you - ESCAPE!

We're getting out.

In the summer of 2005, Malton was locked down in a quarantine to contain the outbreak of... the zombie pathogen thing. Since then, not one person has escaped from Malton. We're going to change that. We're going to bum-rush the border.

Who we are

It doesn't matter who you are. If you're living, you're welcome. If you're dead, we'll have a revive clinic open for you (see details below). If you're a rotter, you've pretty much decided to stay in Malton, sorry. It doesn't matter if you're sick of getting PKed or just bored being a PKer; it doesn't matter if you've been here five years or five months. Malton is a nice place to visit, but for some of us the vacation ended a long time ago.

Detailed explanation

Why leave?

Although believing the following philosophy is not mandatory for participants of Escape, this is our manifesto:

For those of us who want a clean ending

Dear Kevan:

It's been five years now. The quarantine is never coming down. No new skills will ever be added because both sides are afraid of imbalance. Malton is in terminal gridlock.

We are the players who respect the game too much to simply log out and let our characters get killed. We want an escape - a real escape. An ending. We leave its form in your hands.

Everyone else

Probably just wants to see if this will work. No shame in that. Considering that the city's been in quarantine for five years it's really quite embarrassing nobody tried this sooner.

What will happen?

We have no idea. However, one thing is known: the only major changes ever enacted to the game were made when the zombies went On Strike late in 2005. Therefore, those of us seeking to escape must fight for our right to party leave. It's what people did in the second Resident Evil movie, after all.

Where we're going - and when

The Escape Zone - Owsleybank When the railway station is full-up, survivors should just queue up into the other buildings. RPs for the undead to be designated soon.

We are going to Ellicott Place Railway Station in Owsleybank on June 1. Ellicott is the last train station in Malton, and we believe our best chance of making it out is there. Ellicott is located not only immediately adjacent to The Woodborne Building (a NecroTech facility that will be used to supply revivification services to the undead who want to leave) and Waller Auto Repair (our immediate source of fuel cans), but also located only two blocks away from another tactical resource point: St. Daniel's Hospital. As our odds of success are unknown, we insist that the rush be survivor-only, as there is no chance the guards will allow carriers of the disease to leave.

On the other hand, what on earth are they going to do to stop us? Kill us? Do you have any idea how many times we've died?

What to Expect When You're Escaping

Lots of crowding can lead to trouble - but won't, if you follow a few guidelines when you're in the Escape zone (pictured):

• We don't know how many people will show up, but we're recommending only 50 people to a building. When the railway station is full, just go to one of the adjoining buildings.
• Please don't shoot zombies at the revive points. Killing rotters who clog the system is fine.
• Don't shoot each other.

And that's it. Three rules. That's fewer than it takes to be allowed to ride the water slide at the fair.

Advertising

Informing others about your desire to leave Malton is welcome. Feel free to use any and all means available to you to get the word out. Try not to spray over other people's useful graffiti (designated entry points, stuff like that) and don't spam up the radio. Advertise, change the frequency and do it again.

Communications

Escape is more of a movement than an official group; however, it is supported by some members of CORAM, and information will be broadcast through the EBS (25.92).
