Radio Transmitters
All radio transmitters and portable radios should be tuned to 26.11 Hz . This frequency will be used to distribute news and issue danger reports just as soon as we get some radios.
Recognized Revive Points
The three official recognized Lockettside revive points are: Rackman Row (28, 82) (Black Mesa Revive) as well as Kendall Row (26, 84)(NT revive) and Butler Avenue (20, 83) (Tompson Mall Security). Zombies are not to be shot standing on these locations. Also, any cemetery can be deemed a temporary revive point under the Sacred Ground policy. If you want to create additional Revive points please post them here; otherwise, no other revive points will remain valid, including TinyURL sprays.
The RESCUE! tactic has been abandoned in Lockettside due to the changes affecting ruined buildings, free running and twisting your ankle when falling off a masonry wall the zombies have brought down. The construction skill and tool kits don't actually mention bags of mortar and trowel and bucket but that's what it implies (or at least a nearby Wickes). Anyhow, Rescue is off the cards, nice try by the D.E.M. though, you weren't to know about future changes.

The MoB appears to have headed Eastward toward Williamsville, and survivors are beginning to repair the area. There remains scattered zombie activity, and PK'er groups like the Late Night TV Crue have resumed coordinated activities against the inhabitants of St. Alexander's hospital and their supporters. The mall is starting to repopulate, and is solidly in survivor hands. --Sarah Silverman 14:07, 14 August 2008 (BST)

With The MOB totally in control of the mall, 3 corners ruined and zombies outnumbering humans by better than 2:1 in the last quad, it appears the mall will soon fall. Concerned humans wonder "Is anyplace safe?", while zombies worry about running out of Orange Julius. -- Grogh 04:57, 2 August 2008 (BST)

The Militant Order of Barhah has announced their entry into Lockettside by ruining the NE corner of Tompson Mall. Allies and ferals are responding to the groans. It doesn't look good for the mall, as it seems many are just running for their lives; the population has already dropped by 40. -- Grogh 02:40, 1 August 2008 (BST)
- 24 hours after the MOB first broke in, the population of the mall is down by over one hundred. Hope for the remainder is dwindling. -- Grogh 04:37, 1 August 2008 (BST)

Thompson mall and nearby Cheeke NT Building(Ruddlebank) are under attack. This is not going to be an easy win for the zombies. With so many active survivors, it could very well be difficult.--Tokar 21:14, 31 July 2008 (BST)

Historic Events
January Assault on Tompson Mall
On Thursday, 04 Jan 2006, the assault on Tompson Mall was begun.
The assault was started at 1700GMT by the Shambling Seagulls, who struck the NE corner of the mall, targetting high-level players.
At 1830GMT the Undying Scourge followed in the Seagulls tracks and left a gaping hole in the defenses of the mall, killing many characters.
Then at 1900GMT the Minions of the Apocalypse piled in behind, wreaking carnage and increasing the body count exponentially.
The Tompson Mall has since returned to its stronghold self although some feral zombies remain active in the suburb.
In a related assault, on Jan 3 2006, Da Shamblin' WAAAGH would begin its seige of the Frossard Police Department. Even though they are a smaller group consisting of relatively low level zombies, they prevailed through closely coordinated attacks and persistence.
On 8 Jan 2006, all the survivors were finally cleared from the Frossard Police Department and it is now under zombie control.
By 0800 on 11 Jan 2006, three corners of Tompson Mall had been emptied and a few dozen sleeping survivors remained in the SW Mall. As most of its defenders fled or were killed, Tompson Mall fell a few hours later.
For more on the January Assault on Tompson Mall, please see the historical perspective at Attack on Tompson Mall. Contributions are welcomed.
One factor in the collapse is entirely understated in the Attack on Tompson Mall discussion. During the lull prior to the mall's final collapse (Jan 6-9), the assumption was made that zombie activity was low. From the perspective of most survivors in the neighborhood this may be true. However, concerted attacks on known and suspected Confederacy leadership targets were made over a 5 day period prior to the final assault, most of whom were not in the mall itself but instead were located in surrounding buildings. Any known leaders as well as any high level survivors spotted were targeted for elimination as soon as they were spotted in an effort to soften up the neighborhood. Some of these survivors were actually killed multiple times over the course of several days.
This apparently lulled the remaining survivors, which comprised the bulk of the mall inhabitants, into a false sense of security. When the final attack on the mall finally came, many of the defense organizers were probably either dislocated to safehouses farther away or already dead (a safe assumption because most were absent during the fall). The resulting chaos led to a general failure in the mall's defenses which caused it's total collapse to occur within 24 hours.
January Siege of Tompson Mall
Following the fall of Tompson Mall on 11 Jan 2006, the Zombie Horde dispersed to attack buildings in Western and Central Lockettside in smaller hordes. This allowed Survivors to retake Tompson Mall on 14 Jan 2006, and the small number of Survivors within held out a small horde of feral Zombies.
For the next 10 days, attacks by feral zombies came and went, with occasional breaches which were thrown back by the Survivors. By 24 Jan, the Mall is sufficiently secured that the siege can be considered lifted.
