The Order of the Black Rose (OBR) is a pro-survivor group that understands that some suburbs are harder to keep safe than others. Typically this is because of active and organized zombie groups in the area. But in the southwest corner of Malton, in District 2, zombies are only the beginning of the problem. Why? Because in all five of the suburbs that make up SW District 2, there is only one NecroTech building. That's right, only one. Which naturally poses some unique obstacles for survivor groups operating in Crooketon, Grigg Heights, Lerwill Heights, Mornington, and Reganbank.

The lone NT in the district is in Grigg Heights

Mission

Because of the unique circumstances surrounding SW-2, the Order of the Black Rose is a very mobile group. We are based in Mornington, but we have plans to establish safehouses in each of the five suburbs that will serve as staging grounds for our activities within that suburb. Activities include rebuilding, reinforcing, reviving, and reasonable maintenance.

Rebuilding

Many survivor groups tend to avoid SW-2 because of the lack of NT buildings (and some suburbs lack other TRPs as well). This makes survival in this district more challenging and also means a small survivor population to rebuild after hordes come through. Rebuilding, therefore, is our primary objective in all suburbs.

Members should plan on carrying a toolbox, until such time as the Order of the Black Rose has enough members that duties can be divided up among members.

Reinforcing

The Order of the Black Rose lives in a rough part of town, so we know the value of allies. We will readily go to the aid of any of our allies, just as we would expect them to come to our aid if we were in dire straits.

There is only one exception. In such circumstances where there is only one surviving member, that lone member may choose to defend an OBR safehouse and maintain the radio transceiver there. Since this circumstance will be exceedingly rare, all members are expected to aid our allies and the general survivor population whenever possible.

Reviving

Just because life can be be rough in SW-2 doesn't mean that it should be. The Order of the Black Rose does its best to maintain a revive point in Mornington and to respond to revive requests in Crooketon, Grigg Heights, Lerwill Heights, and Reganbank.

NOTE: At this time, the Order of the Black Rose is not maintaining a RP in Mornington due to insufficient members. As this situation changes, both this page and the Mornington suburb page will be updated to reflect the location of our RP.

Reasonable Maintenance

The Order of the Black Rose pledges to the survivors in SW-2 to do its best to maintain barricades at levels agreed upon for that suburb and to keep as many TRPs powered (or at least not in ruins) as possible. In order of priority...

• NecroTech Buildings (there is only 1 among the 5 suburbs we prowl in, so this is always a Priority #1)
• Hospitals
• Police Departments
• Fire Stations

Priority is also given to keeping mobile mast buildings and safehouses powered for radio broadcasting. Communication (both in-game and meta-game) are huge tools that many survivors are either unable to use do to lack of power or choose not to use. By keeping these options available, we can only benefit the survivor effort.

Obviously we are still a small group and can only do so much, but as we grow, so too will our ability to restore some sense of safety to a little patch of Malton.

So How Do I Join Up?

Joining the Order of the Black Rose is quite simple. The long-and-short of it requires you going to your UrbanDead profile and putting in Order of the Black Rose as your group name. This is obviously the most important thing, because the more people we have, the better we can reach out to other groups and suburbs and get the job done. That of course, is the job of being awesome and helping out survivors in SW-2.

Other details involve you moving to one of the suburbs of SW-2: Crooketon, Grigg Heights, Lerwill Heights, Mornington, or Reganbank. We also do not support acts of PKing or GKing. Zerging is also extremely frowned upon. Do so, and not only will you catch a horribly swift case of DEATH, but we will also contact the Protoss to fry your no-good zerg arse.

ZKing, however, is left up to individual members and may be encouraged in areas where there is a strong zombie presence. That being said, the Order of the Black Rose is entirely okay with its members having alts. Survivor alts, zed alts, PKer alts... whatever your pleasure. As long as you play nice and don't use the information obtained from working with us to aid Zombies or PKers, you're good to go.
