South Shuttlebank City Council consists of those dedicated humans who try to maintain order as best they can in the Shuttlebank area. Their operations vary depending on the most immediate need of survivors that grace its freshly mown lawns and manicured gardens. A fairly old and grizzled Council, they still exude plenty of zest at doing the best they can for the citizens of their town.

Those seeking relaxing hobbies can find a wealth of opportunities in healing the sick, restoring Shuttlebank's historical buildings, and performing cutting edge surgery on those whom normal medicine cannot help. For partygoers, there is no better venue than Club Brookeman, where on Fridays (when open) it plays host to zombies and humans alike, proving that comedy knows no barriers.

News

Wednesday 10 August, 2011 As South Shuttlebank remains quiet, the Council's current efforts are focused on maintaining appropriate barricade levels for entry points and certain resources as well as dealing with one particular GKing miscreant who appears determined to continue to harrass Shuttlebank citizens. More notably, the Council is pleased to confirm that Yorba has officially returned to active status, and the citizens of South Shuttlebank may be confident that their satisfaction with the state of affairs in South Shuttlebank will only continue to rise as a result.

Sunday 24 July, 2011 The Council continues its work to restore South Shuttlebank, with one Council member emphatically escorting a miscreant from a public service building and another (well, perhaps the only other) de-pinataing the once-beloved Darknell Museum.

Tuesday 19 July, 2011 Having put together a cleverly laid plot, Council member Cichonuke lit up Garmston Bank in order to stage a robbery with Council member Barbecue Barbecue. Unfortunately, a wayward member of LUE appeared on the scene, causing much grief to the Council (and directly to Cichonuke) and undermining plans for what would have been a truly dramatic moment in Shuttlebank history. Vodka will be drunk in mourning.

Saturday 17 July, 2011 With a new Pax Shuttlebankia having arrived, the Council has had time to catch up on paperwork and perform some restoration work on many buildings (with some work contracted out, as appropriate, i.e. Tikhon Medical). One Council member even took the opportunity to repaper the billboard at Sampson Lane with the Council slogan, to remind residents that the Council is here for them, at least when it isn't not.

Wednesday 13 July, 2011 Though they fought long and hard to support their Eastonwood comrades, even the Council's massive onslaught of paperwork was not enough to hold out against the zombie horde they faced. Undaunted, they struggle to recover from the glorious bureaucratic battle, with plans to fight again another day (after rising their wounds in vodka).

Sunday 10 July, 2011 And so the Council marches into glorious bureaucratic battle with the undead in support of its neighbors in Eastonwood. Bearing all the vodka they could carry (and one or two FAKs), they are ready for as many long and unproductive meetings with Eastonwood's zombies as necessary to aid their comrades to the south.

Monday 4 July, 2011 Could this be two new eras in just the span of a month? Yorba, one of the founding members of the Council, has appeared in Shuttlebank!

Sunday 3 July, 2011 Demonstrating the amazing coordination that can only come from careful filing and the extensive use of post-it notes, two Council members (who shall remain nameless, to avoid being chased by zombie paparazzi) made a daring attack on a single zombie sentry in The Frappell Building and de-ruined the building. Celebration followed, and much vodka was drunk.

Council member Pazzz takes a moment in Marfell to approve critical Council documents in response to the attack by Extinction.

Wednesday 29 June, 2011 Barbecue Barbecue and Cichonuke fell once again in a joint attempt with other survivors to hold Fabian General Hospital. Rubber stamps went flying.

Monday 27 June, 2011 Following a brilliant door-to-door campaign led by the Council's own Cichonuke, some of South Shuttlebank's key resource buildings have been brought back up to code and the occupancy ban lifted. The question remains: can the Council return to normal operations? Will the streets of South Shuttlebank ever be clear of blood and bodies, if only for a day?

Friday 24 June, 2011 The remaining Council members have become separated as quickly as they were reunited due to a number of health code violations discovered at Fabian General Hospital. First, a hospital simply isn't sanitary with zombies in it. They never wash their hands. Second, they eat patients rather than heal them. As a result, while some may say the hospital is down because zombies took it over, the truth of the matter is that the Council has posted notice that the hospital and adjacent buildings are temporarily closed until these violations are resolved.

Sunday 19 June, 2011 A new era begins again, possibly, with the sudden appearance of Barbecue Barbecue in The Marfell Building. Years have passed since he was last seen. His opening remarks are rumored to have been: "Hmm. Looks like the Shuttlebank I remember. Zombies, zombies, zombies. Pass the vodka, would you?"
