There is a fairly even spread of zombies around the area, the only major horde was eight strong at Servatius General Hospital, all other zombies are in groups of no more than four, mostly individual.

Total war. The Porter Building (our only NecroTech) was ruined. The nearby Gall General Hospital has been broken into, 11 zeds inside. Escapee bases located nearby (location withheld for security reasons). Prepare a counterstrike?

The worst part is over now, the majority of zombies have left the suburb. Survivors are working hard on rebuilding the mess which was left behind. Think we will manage without external help for now. ~Fero

Break-ins reported in the South-Eastern part of the suburb. Undeads are taking out some buildings, and are seemingly heading to the West. A group of 5-10 are actively working together. ~Kholdern

Generally peaceful in Hollomstown. Spotted a few groups of zombies in the streets. Counted a total of 8. North east. Could be more. Jasin Natael.

October 2nd

At least 3 zombies on the streets, but slightly outnumbered by wandering survivors. 6 of the 8 Tactical Resource Points are powered, but the 2 hospitals in the suburb are not. Much of the general suburb is powered. Safe. --Funt Solo QT Scotland flag.JPG 17:02, 2 October 2008 (BST)

Most buildings in Hollomston are now restored and zed numbers are low. This burb should be ungraded from red now to orange or even light yellow.--Miss Elainious 23:56, 6 September 2008 (BST)

August

August 26th

The Militant Order of Barhah has continued it's eastward march from Wyke Hills into Hollomstown. It has ruined Reed Avenue School, the Rycroft Building, Club Dorvell, Batt Bank, the Meadley Building, the Western Building NT, as well as Huggins Avenue Fire Station, and the junkyard nearby. Survivors should stay away from this part of Hollomstown, at least until MOB grows tired and moves on.--FLZombie 04:33, 27 August 2008 (BST)

August 7th

if there are any survivors left, get out of Hollomstown, it's difficult to find anywhere that isn't inhabited by zombies now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tyralpha (talkcontribs) at an unknown time.

Scattered zeds in the suburb, some buildings ruined. Almost no survivor activity. --Kninja 19:07, 25 April 2008 (BST)

March

March 17th

Zombies are everywhere in this suburb. At least 1-5 to each section. Every building is in complete ruin. Spotted maybe one other survivor, not sure of how many zombies are trying for revives. If there are any, suggest moving elsewhere as help is not likely to come anytime soon. --Merc Hunter 20:52, 17 March 2008 {UTC}

March 14th

From what I saw, the SE corner was crawling with zombies in groups of 1-3 each. --Maelstorm4 01:36, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Porter Building has been overrun and completely dismantled by a group of at least 40 zombies. Nearly all survivors were killed. Equipment has been destroyed. I managed to get away while carrying an infection with me. I healed myself at Gall General Hospital and immediately started broadcasting the message along with buffing up the hospital's barricades. --Neuron 04:28, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Nearly all of Hollomstown has been ransacked and ruined. Don't go there. 8+ zombies on basically all squares. --Drone_Fragger 10:22, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

All NT buildings, hospitals, and other key buildings in the perimeter have been completely destroyed and brought to ruins. A lot of players have been killed and there are literally no survivors at all. It's recommended to stay as far away as possible from Hollomstown and most towns in the area. --Neuron 20:19, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

March 12th

Alright I reckon the dead will come here very soon if not their already here. People form the west are regrouping here but I don't think it would last... This might be the end of staying in a safe house all day. If we can't hold of a mall though a one day siege Then I don't know what can we do --The1doctor 00:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

March 11th

I took a necro scan from The Porter Building. It showed aroud 30-40 zombies within scaning range not looking for revives. There were around another 30-40 looking for revives. I saw some structural damage but not much just yet. Within a matter of days this area will be overrun with zombies. But for now, I am upgrading the danger level in Hollomstown to moderate.--ChiaPet 22:29, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

February

February 21st

NecroWatch reported from the Porter Building revealing that there were 29 zombies within scanning range of the facility. Of note, there were 13 zombies at Martha General Hospital in Danversbank and 6 zombies at the Porter facility itself. The remaining zombies are scattered and pose only minimal threats the survivor safehouses. --Mobius187 14:25, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

February 20th

NecroWatch reported from the Western Building revealing that there were 6 zombies within scanning range of the facility. Of note, there were 3 zombies at the Meadley Building. The remaining were scattered and were likely of little or no threat to the surrounding safehouses. --Mobius187 17:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

February 13th

The omen was right. Zeds are breaching in at Sleeman Alley Fire Station. One zed inside, multiple groans are hearing loud and strong in the neighbourhood. SURVIVORS, retreat to a safer location, if you want to live. I'll stay back to make some kind of resistance... We have to make a point against the Zombies now, or we'll ever be chickens. -- NumberSix

February 12th

Avent Crescent Fire Station has been occupied by zeds. There has also been reports of zombies spies from Rovers Of Despair in Sleeman Alley Fire Station...Maybe it's dark omen for future times... -- NumberSix

February 5th

The small groups of zombies have been sighted near the southernmost cemetery. A small group of zombies remains outside of the Porter Building. -- Rogue of Hearts

February 2nd

The Western Building has been recently retaken by survivors. However, the Porter Building is currently under siege by the local zombie population. There has also been reports of GKers in the area. --The Masked Lurker 18:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

December 25th

Merry Christmas, movie house! Merry Christmas, ya old savings and loan!

Not so Merry Christmas to Theophan General, unfortunately...it's ransacked and ruined, and a few long-term zeds have been squatting there for a few days, making it most difficult to maintain it as a secure resource. -- lewarcher

December 24th

The border between East Grayside and Hollomstown is completely green. Crow's nested from a few buildings in the area in search of zombies, came up with nothing. Not a zed in sight around resource buildings Angerstein Building, Sixtus General Hospital, Boode Place Fire Station, or Waterlow Street Police Department. Plenty of survivors, all resource buildings have power. Looks like it's going to be a white Christmas. -- Cal Morse 13:38, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

December 12th

most of the town is ruin or rebuilding Theophan General Hospital is back in buissness and I've repaired the hotell near it O YEAH THE DOCTOR IS IN THE HOUSE. It apears that the big bash is now mostly north west of the town things might quite down a bit... i hope . --The1doctor 23:12, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

December 10th

The Western Building is currently in zombie hands. DEM personnel are working on rectifying this situation. -- ZEDU medic T MEMS 16:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

December 2nd

Waterlow Street Police Department has fallen. A fairly sizeable horde of zeds surrounds many of the buildings in the area. As such, I suspect many of the other buildings have fallen too. --Grifton 06:36, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

November 30th

Both NT buildings are ruined, most of the TRPs are too, don't bother coming in, Big Bash, I'm taking care of it for you! YEHAAAW! Standard Zombie 12:15, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

November 29th

Beck Road Railway Station is being mobbed my 20+ zeds. A half-dozen smaller zed units surround the building and the less defended neighboring buildings to the west are starting to fall.--Grifton 04:32, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

November 26th

Do not go to Theophan General Hospital is ruin zombie might have other taget now beff up your guns and be on the run becouse the zombies are in town. This has the Docotor Hq's talking and he will retake theophan but he needs back up being back the doc --The1doctor 09:57, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

The Big Bash is near! OMGWTFBBQ! Head to Gall General Hospital for Kergistan protection! Don't stop fighting! Standard Zombie 03:20, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

November 19th

It appears that deranged living allies of the undead are now aiding their efforts. They have been seen infiltrating buildings in the northwest of the suburb spilling over into East Grayside. They can be identified by their lack of survival motivation and recent revivification injection marks. Most humans are hesistant to attack those "still alive" but are urged to remain alert.--Ram Charger 03:23, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

November 18th

External Military report: "... Hollomstown is still active, thirty or so on the streets ... all stragglers, no groups ... several buildings with power ... only a few buildings damaged ... the Western Building has fallen - repeat, the Western Building has fallen ..." --WanYao 02:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

November 9th

Hollomstown is for the most part a sleeping suburb. There's very little zed activity; I haven't seen 10 standing zeds in the entire suburb, and although most buildings are barricaded, many are unpowered because there aren't people to keep fueling the generators. The suburb's only real problem is a shortage of survivors to keep the power running, so I'm updating the danger level to Moderate. WolfBane2

October

October 12th

Theophan General HospitalIs retaken, only small groups of Zeds (2 in Theophan, 6 nearby), Fire station is also retaken with a good cadre of survivors. Juanrdp

October 10th

Theophan General Hospital has fallen a couple of days ago and the Roddoway Building also, the fire dep is holding loosely barricaded and with a couple of survivors, the nearby zone is still loosely secured. --Juanrdp

Necrotech Mobile has reached its one month expiration date, and has moved onto West Grayside as its new area. As a final favor to HARD, and the local survivor groups, BlackReaper has scouted the area, and is sad to report extensive damage to the northern NT, PD, Hospital, and non-TRP's. Ransacked and with approx. 15 scattered zeds in the area, NecroM apologizes for having to leave in time of need, but we are right across the border and if you need assistance anytime, post on our discussion page. BlackReaper

October 9th

Waterlow Street Police Department has fallen. Grifton

October 7th

Theophan General Hospital under attack. Loosely barricaded, no survivors inside, but 20 zeds outside. I guess it will fall soon. Members of Necrotech Mobile are trying to defend it, but it's hopeless. Backup is needed, if not, the hospital will be taken Bruce77Willis

October 4th

The zombie horde attacking Theophan General Hospital has dispersed. A quick scan of the immediate area saw no zombie groups larger than 4. Grifton

October 3rd

Central Hollomstown is pretty safe. Most building are EHB, only a few ransacked building. Not much zombies in this area. Anyone who wants to relax for a few days, can come to this place.|LucyFord}}

The number of zeds assaulting Theophan General Hospital has increased to 25+ and only 2 survivors continue to hold down the fort. Grifton

I would like it to be known that a fellow pro-survivor group is recruiting and roaming through Hollomstown, USAI AKA US Army Infantry, and I encourage any survivors that like orderly military groups to join up. It has been speculated that Hollomstown might see a large increase in zombie activity in the next few days, and hope that it is again, only a rumor, althought the LUE rumor proved true when they ransacked the north and south areas of Hollomstown. It is also requested to be known that Necrotech Mobile is recruiting, and is now assisting in any revives in Hollomstown.

BlackReaper

October 1st

Theophan General Hospital is, yet again, under assault by Hollomstown's zombie population. Survivors report that, after a couple of days of hard fighting for the hospital, the barricades have been torn down and about a dozen survivors are fighting a small horde of about ten zombies. The nearby fire station is also reported to be in a very precarious position. SgtBop

September

September 20th

External Military Report ... flying over Hollomstown, can see thirty or so on the streets ... mostly just stragglers, no organised groups ... several buildings with power ... infrastructure looks intact ... the Porter Building has power ... --Koli

Rumors are spreading amongst the survivor population that LUE, a massive zombie horde, has been seen in northern Hollomstown. Local survivors recommend travelers to stock up on supplies and hunker down for the long haul. BlackReaper

September 18th

The impregnable Waterlow Street Police Department has fallen to a horde of almost 40 zombies. Local survivor, BlackReaper, cautioned that he'd "bet money that the nearby resource buildings are next." BlackReaper

September 16th

The zombie threat near Gall General Hospital has significantly declined. Only 3 bodies remain outside the hospital itself and no standing zombies in the immediate area (though a half dozen zombies could be seen to the west from the top of the The Porter Building). Grifton

September 13th

Gall General Hospital is under attack by 9 zombies. There a substantial number of survivors to help fend the hospital, but travelers should be weary of the increased zombie presence in the area. Grifton

September 12th

"Hollomstown, we need ur help" is a message I received. It's sent by a radio from Kempsterbank, a suburb in great danger. We should help them... Grifton

September 10th

Those seeking medical assistance in Hollomstown should be weary of entering Theophan General. Theophan has been breached twice in the last month and has few survivors to defend it. At the same time, local heroes might want to take up residence there to help fend off the zeds for awhile. Grifton

September 8th

Necrotech Mobile has started a makeshift hospital at Loockyer Cinema. The barricades are currently 1 level above free access, and will be lowered tomorrow for freerunningless survivors to participate in the provided medical services. Any groups or survivors willing to help out then report to Loockyer and lend a hand/FAK. BlackReaper

September 6th

Theophan General Hospital is now EHB+1 and powered. Between Theophan and Waterlow PD I didn't see any zombies. MalTel from this day is active in Hollomstown. TheQ

Necrotech Mobile has decided to adopt Hollomstown as its new home, and is soon moving into the area within the next few days. BlackReaper

September 3rd

Theophan General Hospital was ransacked by zombies. Currently, 10 dead bodies lie in front of the hospital. Grifton

June 5th

Drama Club staged a performance of "Army of Darkness" at The Pink Museum as part of their Border Tour of Malton. The group plans to travel clockwise around the border suburbs of Malton with one show in each suburb. Today they performed for the lone survivor here as part of this tour. See their group page for performing groups and schedules.

March 24th

The Waterlow Street Police Department has recently been ransacked by the living dead. I've repaired the considerable damaged done by the ghouls.

The important resource building is now desperately in need of barricades in order to repel future attacks. Tarkenton 18:20 GMT

March 19th

Be please aware that the Gall General Hospital is currently infested by the living dead.

The medical facility has been thoroughly ransacked by the filthy undead fiends. A concerted effort will be required to both eliminate the entrenched ghouls and repair the damaged building. Tarkenton 17:15 GMT

March 18th

Be please aware of the situation that exists on the Hollomstown / East Grayside border.

The Angerstein Building in East Grayside is a site of excessive undead activity at present. I sighted 30+ ghouls outside or adjacent to the building during my daily patrol. Extreme caution advised to all survivors in the area. Tarkenton 17:05 GMT

March 16th

Be vigilant around the Theophan General Hospital. Spotted 11 ghouls in and around the medical facility during my daily patrol at 1724 hours GMT. -- Tarkenton 17:40 GMT, 16 March 2007

More ghouls have been spotted breaking into non-essential buildings towards the south and east of Hollomstown. Caution while traveling through this area is advised. Dray 02:37, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

March 9th

Theophan General Hospital is still a heavy battleground, but it is in the hands of survivors for the moment. Barricades are at VHB status. A generator and radio are inside awaiting a fuel can, and armed survivors, including several members of the new Head Hunters group, are attempting to organize a heavy defense. --Morombe 22:38, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Note that despite the below comment, the Porter Building is not a safe place to sleep if you're travelling to or from Danversbank. --Nitro

February

February 27th

I'd say this suburb is moderately dangerous right now, but the Porter Building seems sound and I suggest any survivor wishing to sleep in that part of the suburb to go to that building to rest before you try to head to Theophan.

February 22nd

Hollomstown survivors should be aware that there is a group of zombies, the Rovers Of Despair, assaulting the western resource buildings of the suburb with a sound tactical awareness. Theophan Hospital continually changes hands from the living to the unliving, and back again. Survivors are advised to conserve spare AP in order to repel zombie counter-attacks. Remember: Cade, Heal, Dump, Kill, in that order. --Keith Drudgely 18:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

February 14th

Frequent break-ins in west-central Hollomstown. Theophan General Hospital and adjacent buildings are targeted by zeds on a regular basis, with few survivors dedicated to the care and maintenance of barricades. Suburb status updated to "Orange", especially since a nice St. Valentine's Day pink was unavailable. Sixy 18:05, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Danger level has been downgraded to yellow, due to the absence of any 50+ hordes. Please check the danger level criteria for Suburbs. --Keith Drudgely 19:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

January 21st

<static>...group of veteran zeds are assaulting Hollomstown. Hospital was the first to fall; I hear the tac buildings are all under constant attack. We are trying to hold out as long as possible...<static>--Raufgar 02:17, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

January 9th

The Theophan General Hospital is still under constant assault from the walking dead. A couple of us are trying to thin their ranks. Need assistance in dealing with the bodies, we can't put up barricades if the zeds just stand up again inside!--Raufgar 01:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

December 18th

The Fear of Fridays Street Team Assault division has been conducting repeated missions into Hollomstown to clear Theophan General Hospital, and will continue to do so while there remains a significant 'zed presence in the area. Civilians should be aware that the area constitutes a near constant battleground however, and as such is extremely unsafe unless you want to join us in bringing the rain of justice to the streets! -Sherwin, Fear of Fridays Street Team

December 7th

Zeds are on the rise, Advent Cresent FD was overun this morning. Some survivors are still hanging on, others are barricading up Wykes Hills. Uniform Barricade Policy is still being implimented.

The South-East section of the suburb has been overrun, with almost every building having its doors wide open. -- Buncy T 13:11, 6 July 2006 (BST)
