Current Mission

Ah memories, nothing quite beats that feeling of nostalgia. The Malton Rangers went searching for just that feeling this past week by attacking the zombie infested streets of Ridleybank. In honor of the Battle of Blackmore and the historical Blackmore Bastard Brigade the Ranger's dived into Ridleybank to battle their old and honored foes the RRF. Fighting was fierce and taunts were thrown about with abandon, a few old caches of scotch were found as well. In the end the staunch zombie defense kept the Ranger's from reclaiming the Blackmore but a good time was had by all. If you would like to join in the fun then check us out here for more details.

RANGER’S FIELD GUIDE

Overview

This is how nomadic the Rangers are. We don't even own cars.

The Malton Rangers are a growing group of like-minded individuals, dedicated to working with other groups and unaffiliated survivors to the benefit of Malton. A principally nomadic group, by nature, the Rangers aim to go wherever help is needed most and have begun to establish a reputation for being easy to work with and being willing to provide aid to places most others have already fled from.

While the bulk of Rangers usually can be found traveling together and working towards some larger objective (see below for present objectives), individual Rangers or smaller detachments often break off temporarily to help out the many smaller crises to be found in Malton.

While most Rangers do work very closely to coordinate their efforts with command and their fellow Rangers, no orders are ever binding or mandatory and the right of each Ranger to act and make decisions autonomously will always be respected.

Field Reports

Report on Ricketybank submitted by Ranger 2win.

The much hyped day of November 5th arrived. Well, Wulfgar was busy trying to get himself bitten and Techewan was delayed. But Marcel Swann stepped up and filled in for them as the Showman.

With 39 zombies inside Blackmore everyone was ready to party after a week of milling around Barrville. It started off with a great Ranger turnout and body parts went flying everywhere. When the smoke cleared there were 25 zombies left and a couple of Rangers passed out from exhaustion. Not a lot of zombie movement. I'm telling you it was like a nursing home for old zombies, they were stacked in like cord wood and about as active.

We had a couple of other halfhearted tries for a couple of days, but I felt more like healing the old things than fighting them. Tinyshopkeeper resorted to standing in a lightly caded lit hospital and Gregorseverov stood outside just to see some action. Marcel finally just said goodbye and we left the zombie retirement community of Ricketybank with their memories.

Report on Ridleybank submitted by Ranger Lord Wulfgar.

It's been over two years since I first walked the barren streets of Ridleybank, two years since those brave men and women of the Blackmore Bastard Brigade fell to the encroaching zombie hordes after months of blood soaked battle.

Some would call me crazy for leading my team into the black heart of Ridleybank on what to most would seem like a futile mission, and perhaps I am. But no crazier then my team who stumbled into that black heart with a carefree laugh and a bottle of fine beer determined to do the old memories proud.

When we arrived in Ridleybank we found it already sparsely populated with survivors gathering for the 5th of November assault. Most buildings were still in ruin but they had a few hospitals up and things seemed to be improving. So we hunkered down and readied ourselves for the coming fight, and what a fight it was.

On that faithful day the Malton Rangers charged the Blackmore Building shouting their denial to the zombie horde massed inside. It was a brutal battle as the sounds of gunfire and groans filled the air around Blackmore. Marcel cleaved the head off of one zombie in a single stroke singing all the while and 2win took down another with nothing but a empty beer bottle, the battle raged on and on with no apparent end in sight. A classy reporter even made an appearance bravely risking his hair to stomp out the zombie menace. And so it continued with taunts flowing freely from the lips of the Malton Rangers as they valiantly drove the zombies before them.

In the end fourteen undead fell at the hands of the Malton Rangers and we retreated to the surrounding buildings to drink to our accomplishment. It was a happy night filled with drinking (thanks to an old NMC stash of scotch recently uncovered) and raucous laughter. Noah even got up the courage to sing a song after a few drinks. We were in high spirits and thought that the Blackmore would soon be ours, but it was not to be.

The next day we found the numbers in Blackmore higher then ever with over forty undead swaying inside her ruined halls, it seemed that the RRF horde wasn't going to relinquish Blackmore easily. Undeterred we continued to hammer away at the rotting corpses over the next few days, each battle made us weaker and the zombies only seemed to get stronger with the local area falling back into its previous state of ruin. I realized that we couldn't win this battle, our undead foes were too determined and numerous, and so I made the decision to pull our team out.

That night I sat on the roof of Acourt Library with a bottle of scotch and toasted the Blackmore and all the brave men and women past who fought on those broken, blood strewn grounds. We had been beaten back by the horde as we knew was inevitable from the start but we had payed tribute to a time past. A glorious time that will likely never be seen again.

It's good to be back after my sekrit mission. I don't know what it was, but if I did, I would probably have to kill ya. It was so boring. When the call to arms came for Havercroft I dropped everything, including the zombie next to me, and ran.

Wulfgar happened to let slip the fact the C4NT might have some scotch stored in Beaver Towers, so... guess where I headed first. Wolface came in and threw up some cades while I was digging around for that fabled cache.

I awoke the morn of the strike on Ackland Mall with doors open and 2 zombies inside Maria General. Not gonna get big points for the style, but nevertheless I got one and bumped the cades. Strolled in late for the Mall party. The Rangers had already started and were in full swing when I arrived, no doubt spurred on by the C4NT scotch. They had stormed the mall, kicked out the zombies, turned on the party lights and had bouncers at the door when I arrived. I'm telling ya, it was gonzo over the top crazy. For details just ask Techewan, Wulfgar, Noah, Skidoo or Biffen. Seems Marcel was there early to set up the bar.

Report submitted by Ranger Magatsu Taito.

Arrived in Yagoton. Things looked as chaotic as expected. The mall was on its last legs with Rangers, zombies, survivors and the occasional Cobra PKer dropping by to shoot someone. I arrived fashionably dressed in a black body bag. Ended up on a heap of dead bodies at the cemetery, before getting a quick revive and a "Welcome to Yagoton!" from a fellow Ranger. Can't for the life of me remember who, though that was several days and bottles ago by now. The constant dying and revives turns your brain into soft French cheese as well, which doesn't exactly help when you're trying to do complicated things like walk, open doors, remember names for ordinary household appliances... You get the picture.

I lurched over to the local hospital in hopes of curing a nasty infection I had contracted on the way there. How I got it is a bit unclear, and considering its nature it may be best not to know either. But I managed to cure it. It took a few hours though, and I got eaten once more during that time. I ended up getting revived mere seconds after arriving at the cemetery the second time, threw a "Thanks!" at the guy, checked out the battle at the nearby NT, and went and cured this brand new infection I'd gotten while being eaten. I seem to have a weak immune system for some reason... Anyway, after having gotten another First Aid Kit I ran over to the NT again, shouted "GOR ANGERS! RRRAAHHHHH!!!!" and promptly feel asleep.

Well folks, it's gonna be an incomplete Ranger report cause not every thing is in just yet on the fighting in Dunell Hills and we had a sudden move out to Yagoton via Caiger. We have a few Rangers that might not be able to keep up the pace. *staring and judging* Wulfgar is getting mighty sensitive about his hat. Just don't ask. All I can say is, there can be few more fitting marriages than that between blind, drunk, courage and the ego of a fighting Ranger.

Report submitted by Malton Ranger Rambling Drunk Magatsu Taito.

"It was another one of those days. Cold and wet, with a massive hangover hovering above you like a cartoon weight marked "1 ton". I had awoken, as on so many days before that one, from the sound of silence around me. Not a good sound if you're a Ranger. It means you've managed to get separated from the others, wandered off on your own, or were just too drunk to notice when everyone left.

I got to my feet.

The weight dropped and drove my brain into my left butt cheek, sending me staggering around the room like one of those undead monstrosities prone to biting me in the forehead. (I'm starting to suspect they don't like the taste of my hair...)

After wrecking a chair, a table, a slightly unstable wall, and what was left of the stairs, I came to once more on the bottom floor. That's when I realized I must have been upstairs when I awoke. Good thing I didn't just jump out the window like I usually do in those situations.

I managed to get back up, drink what was left of an old beer and grab my stuff. I hesitated though... What now? I walked over to the window, looked out. Not much in sight, a zombie seemed to be passing the window, but it was literally still as the grave otherwise.

I decided to head downstairs, but then I realized there weren't any, and when the zombie started trashing a dumpster my mind started stabbing my face from the inside, and I jumped out the window. Sure, not the smartest move in retrospect, but hey, I killed a zombie by throwing myself at it from the second floor. While horribly hungover. And the air rushing past me made my head clear a bit. Well, at least until I banged it on the dumpster while turning the zombie into chunky soup that is... Anyhow, I staggered to my feat once more. This time covered in garbage, pieces of zombie, and the remaining rags that were once clothes.

I wandered around for a while, until noticing a trail of graffiti, confused undead, old beer cans and bottles of varying toxicity. It looked promising, so I started following it. It would either lead me to the rest of the Rangers, or certain death. Probably both, but if there's anything to drink before, after or during, I didn't mind. I'd have to watch out for something dressing me up in bear suit, putting a lampshade on my head, or anything like that, but as long as I get that first beer I knew I was gonna make it. One way or another, I was gonna make it. Even if I had to start my own brewery, dammit!"

Report on Owsleybank/Dunell Hills by Ranger 2win.

It took a lot of booze driven, blind, brash, bravery to repair and hold some of the massive destruction we encountered here, but we had several dedicated Rangers who dove in Leroy Jenkins style to give it their all. Also we had invitations for 3 or 4 strikes with open-ended options to the DHPD. Our new executive officer Techewan led some of the highly successful raids. Our leader, Wulfgar, was delayed at the first one due to an unforeseen *cough* PKing. Yet, despite his misfortune he comes in with good cheer whistling 'The Hills Are Alive!'.

Most of the later epic fighting/partying with the DHPD centered in and around the Dury NT. It changed hands about once a day it seemed. Great party to welcome some of our very capable new members. The keg flowed freely as Danr, our hot-blooded Ranger, unleashed her therapeutic fury on The Dead.

All in all, I'm chalking this one up as a win.

Report made by Ranger's Field Operative Noah Kling on the Battle of Broadbelt Grove Police Department, 23/9/08

I awoke to screams and gunfire. As I emerged from the land of dreams where there is no pain, I opened my eyes to a world of death. I heard someone yell "They've broken in!" I looked at the doorway and saw an army of the undead streaming through the crushed barricades. I drew my .9mm and opened fire on the zombies. Three of our numbers had already fallen in the onslaught. The sounds of gunshots that echoed out into the lifeless streets served as a beacon for more of them. No human dared to enter that godforsaken war zone. The zeds, on the other hand, kept coming.

For each one we killed, it only opened the way for more to stream in. It was about this time that one of them finally succeeded in destroying the generator, casting us into darkness, lit only by the flash of our muzzles. Everything moved in a bizarre, other-worldly fashion. At one moment it would be darkness, the next lit just long enough to take aim and fire again to light up the room for another poor soul to kill one. The corpses littered the floor, piling around the doorway, forming a wall of bloody bodies, some of which still writhed in the final embrace of death. As the zombie army continued to file in, many stopped to devour the flesh of the fallen, blood running down their rotting jowls, dripping onto the floor. From their throats evil howls streamed.

As the few of us left spent our last rounds and drew knives and axes to finish off those we could, we all cried out our war cries. We charged for the Rangers, for the DHPD, and for all survivors who ever fled from the zombie menace. And most of all, we charged for our fallen comrades, to not let their death be wastes, to show the zombies that we are not sheep for the slaughter, but wolves who were going to bear down on them and slaughter each and everyone of them, God willing. I swung my ax wildly at them, hacking heads off of rotting torsos. The black blood flew around me in my fury. And no matter how many I killed, more took their place. I had a wall of corpses a foot high surrounding me, but they still climbed over it towards me. They leaped on me and I fell to the floor under the weight of them all, feeling muscles torn from my bones, hearing the ripping sound of my own flesh. And yet, I grinned a sick and maniac grin of contentment and laughed, for I fell not beside strangers, but I fell beside comrades, I fell beside friends...

Policies

Our official position on issues in Malton

Independent Initiative

Unless otherwise stated, positions on many of the more contentious issues to be found in Malton are left up to the individual Ranger to decide upon, and enforce as he or she sees fit. That being said, we encourage rangers to work in group fashion, as we are most effective that way.

PKing, Griefing and the Like

As the Rangers exist to aid the residents of Malton, we are opposed to and don't engage in all such counterproductive behaviours. It is the discretion of individual Rangers as to how to react to the actions of non-Rangers.

Multiple Characters

Several members of our organization run multiple characters, and we have absolutely no issue with that. Players may even have multiple characters who are Rangers. That being said, the Rangers will maintain strict adherence to Anti-Zerging rules and won't run multiple character in the same suburb.
(Since there are always people in need of help everywhere in Malton, the alternate character Rangers won't be suffering for lack of work, and may even go so far as to form auxiliary units of the Rangers.)

Lone Wolfing

There come times when individual Rangers may feel like aiding elsewhere than the primary focus of the larger unit. This is both permitted and encouraged by (MRCOM). All of Malton needs our help, and the better job we do of spreading the word, the stronger we'll become. Rangers Lead the Way!

Ranger Creed

Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of my Ranger Regiment.

Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move farther, faster and fight harder than any other soldier.

Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some.

Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.

Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.

Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.

Rangers Lead The Way!
